THE MAIN DIFFERENCES FROM THE T-44

    Engine V-44 was changed to V-54 developing 520 hp, 2-VTI dual-purpose air cleaner was changed to one VTI-4 with two stages of cleaning.
    On the right fenders were installed three additional fuel tanks with capacity of 95 liters each of them. As a result, the fuel capacity was increased to 785 liters, so the maximal road operational range of the tank was increased to 420 km - 440 km.
    The gearbox and the main clutch were upgraded with planetary steering mechanism instead of side clutches.
    The chassis of the T-44M was completely modified. The tank received a new type of track links with new idler wheels and reinforced drive wheel.
    T-44M received a new night vision device TVN-2 instead of MK-4 and a new sight system.
    The ammunition stowage was increased from 58 rounds to 61 rounds.
    Old 9R radio set was changed to a new R-113 radio set.
    T-44M received front and rear corner light. The sound signal was replaced by moisture-resistant signal C-58.
    Lamp FG-100 with infrared filter was mounted to illuminate an area when using TVN-2.
