Information about the tank:
The AMX 13 was a light french tank and the worldwide first tank with an oscilating turret (with the gun fixed to the turret and the upper part of the turret changes elevation instead of the gun barrel).
It could be used for airborne operations.
It was the first modern tank purchased by Israel and was used in action for the first time during the Suez crisis in 1956.
It was used by the Israel Defense Force (IDF) in 1967 during the Six-days war as well against russian developed T-54 and T-55 used by the egyptian army.
Since its prototype of 1948 it was produced until 1985 and saw action until the 1990s in about 30 nations.
