During the Warsaw Pact era, Romania had been the odd one out, a major outlier in the communist bloc, going "its own way" towards socialism like Albania or former Yugoslavia. For its dictator, Nicolai Ceausescu, this became a major issue after the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia. Romania was one of the few Soviet bloc countries that didn't participate in it along with Albania and Yugoslavia. As a result, Romania started to develop its own (nearly completely locally produced) line of medium tanks roughly similar to the T-54/55 series. The goal was to become completely independent with modern arms production on the Warsaw Pact since Romania (much like former Yugoslavia) couldn't get their hands on the latest weapons due to its status of an "unreliable ally". The first tank of these indigenous vehicles was the TR-77 prototype, designed in 1974. The designation stood for "Romanian Tank, 1977 model", followed by the production version designated TR-580 (the number stood for engine horsepower) even though the actual production started in 1979 with 405 built until 1985. Contrary to some sources, this tank was not a modified T-55, although it was clearly based on it. Its armament (100mm rifled gun based on a Romanian anti-tank gun) and engine (a local modified version of the V-2 engine) were both locally made. Everything on the tank was fairly rudimentary, roughly on par with a basic T-55. In parallel with the abovementioned tank's development, Romanian engineers worked on a new engine based on the MTU designed used in the Leopard 1 tank (the plans for which were clandestinely obtained). The work was finished by 1985. Combining the TR-580 tank with this new engine produced a variant called TR-85. This variant was then put into production between 1986 and 1990 with roughly 400 vehicles built. By 1990, such production was something Romania could ill-afford and the rearming program collapsed after the fall of communism, leaving the military with hundreds of obsolete tanks the upgrade of which had to be attempted with a very tight budget. However, at the same time, Romania was looking to join the NATO an was in desperate need of some upgrades. The program to improve the TR-85 tank was launched in 1994 under the designation TR-85M1 Bizonul. The tank received new armor, new FCS and an upgraded engine. Between 1997 and 2009, 54-56 vehicles were upgraded to this standard and it remains the most modern Romanian MBT to this day. ==Vehicle Traits== *Armored: This vehicle's armor can withstand a lot of punishment, allowing it to survive even serious firefights. {{Clear}} ==Ammunition== {| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; text-align:center;" ! style="display:none" | # !
