In 1945 a five years old tank was hopelessly obsolete. Today a tank from 1980' being around 35 years old is still good enough for 95% of tank use and a tank from 1950' is still ok for at least half of the tank work happening around the globe. Funilly enough even T-34-85 considered obsolete by USSR in 1945 is still in limited use till today... just saying.

   Viktor Murakhovskiy about Syrian tanks.

Quote

   The T-55A tank in the foreground is equipped with a thermal imaging sight mounted in an armored casing above the gun barrel. The sight was developed by the Syrians themselves, based on the Chinese uncooled bolometric matrix.

 

Quote

Uncooled microbolometric matrix - 1 \ 3 inch, 384x288 pixels
Spectral range 8-14 nm
Sensitivity ≥10mV / K
Observation Distance - up to 6 km
Tank-like target recognition distance - about 5 km
The recognition distance of a target like a person (growth figure) is about 4 km.
The sight provides targeted shooting at ranges up to 4 km.
   The video display device is black and white, mounted at the gunner station next to the TPN-1 infrared sight. There is no ballistic computer, but the Syrian tankers say that it is not needed, since almost always target engagement is at ranges of a direct shot or closer.
   In English sources, and after them in Russian, this thermal imaging sight is sometimes called "Viper", but the Syrian tankers themselves have not heard of such a name.
   Since about 2017, some tanks have been equipped with the 1K13 Belarusian thermal imaging sight.
