Vz. 55
A blueprint project for a heavy tank from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. It combined concepts of the Soviet and Czechoslovakian tank-building schools with original solutions. The project was discontinued due to the unification of armament of Warsaw Pact countries. No prototypes were built.
