T-54B Model 1952. This version introduced night fighting equipment with the addition of a Luna L-2 IR searchlight on the turret front, an OU-3 IR searchlight on the commanders cupola, and a TPN-1 gunners day/night sight in place of the simpler MK-4 periscope in front of the gunner's station. This version also introduced the Tsiklon (Cyclone) 2-axis stabilization system and the improved D-10T2S 100 mm gun. This was the first version of the T-54 series regularly fitted with the OPVT river fording equipment allowing crossing of rivers up to 5 meters deep and 700 m wide. The polish equivalent of the T-54B was designated T-54AM, a designation which is sometimes used in the West for this type whether Soviet or Polish. Series production of their version began in the USSR at the beginning of 1957.
