The official and simple answer is no, we cannot and do not manufacture the engine or transmission for these tanks. That's why the AMV upgrade package includes a new engine.thanks for the explanation, much appreciated.
also a thank you to @Viet for your response.
One more question, no offense, can Vietnam nowadays manufacturer the engines or transmission for T54/55 MBT? To me, if Vietnam really wants to keep these grandpa tanks for another 30 or 50 years, there is no other way but to produce the core spare parts on your own.
And we will keep them for 50 years maybe, but under long term reserve. The T-34s are approaching 70 years old and we have put all of them into storage. Same thing will happen with the T-54/55 and Type-59.
