• [T-55 "Enigma" in Combat]The exact quantity of T-55s which were modified on Enigma standard is unknown, although there appeared to be sufficient for them to be assigned as command vehicles for regular T-55 units.

The Iraqi 1st Mechanized, 3rd Armored, and fifth Mechanized Divisions assaulted Coalition roles across the Kuwaiti-Saudi edge and this last product was able to occupy the town of Khafji. But the advances of other Iraqi devices had been halted by the U.S. 1st and second Marine regiments and extreme Coalition atmosphere assault. The Iraqi fifth Mechanized Division became isolated, suffered heavy losings to Coalition counterattacks, and finally withdrew from Khafji by noon regarding the 31st.

  Following the 1991 Gulf War, numerous T-55 "Enigma" tanks had been confiscated by Coalition forces and several examples had been delivered to the usa, the United Kingdom, and France.
