They've been testing out their new Universal Combat Platform, as well as seeing how effective their decades old equipment is at certain tasks (using T-55's as mobile and hard artillery for example). Smart, with the US doing the same thing.
They are using them more as medium or close range hybrid infantry support/artillery with 100mm High Explosive shells. Unlike traditional artillery, which is a very soft target, these T-55s can maneuver into position with infantry and use their large guns to take out hard targets and lighter enemy vehicles. Plus, each T-55 has a heavy machine gun mounted for both air and ground defense. Overall it's an interesting strategy to use otherwise outdated vehicles, but I'm not sure how effective it will be.

So using tannks to shoot shells at a high angle to hit further targets? Like a quasi artillery gun?
