Tiran 4 Early Type: Description The Tiran-4 was a post-war Israeli tank. The first vehicles of this type appeared in service after 1967. The Tiran 4 tank was armed with a single 100 mm cannon and two 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm Browning machine guns. As a result of Israel's massive military success, the Six-Day War (1967), a huge amount of captured war equipment fell into the hands of that country's armed forces, including hundreds of T-54 and T-55 tanks ( mainly Egyptian). The Israeli army, soon after the end of military operations, decided to use them for their own purposes and modernize it accordingly. This is how the Tiran tank family was born, of which the Tiran-4 is one of the first representatives. Compared to the original T-54, it initially differed in details, for example new additional armament, more tanks with more handles on the turret. However, in the Tiran-4Sh version, the car received a new 105mm gun (instead of a 100mm gun), a new antenna base, a new infrared observation device or a new SKO (system of fire control). Tiran-4 cars were used in combat during the so-called exhaustion wars (1967-1970) and Yom-Kippur wars (1973). MINIART 1:35 scale

The M551 Sheridan was an American light tank of the Cold War period. The first prototypes of the vehicle were built in 1965, and serial production continued in 1966-1970, ending with the production of about 1700 units of this tank. The M551 Sheridan was powered by a General Motors 6V-53T engine with 300 HP. It was armed with a single 152 mm M81 cannon/launcher, 1 x 7.62 mm M73 Browning machine gun, and 1 x 12.7 mm M2HB machine gun. The M551 Sheridan was developed as a successor to the M41 Walker Bulldog light tank. The new light tank of the US Army was characterized primarily by a completely innovative armament, based on the M81 cannon launcher and MGM-51 Shillelagh guided missiles. They were intended to allow a light tank like the M551 to engage in combat on par with Soviet MBTs like the T-62 or T-64. However, when the M551 vehicles were delivered to US troops fighting in Vietnam, it was found that they were highly emergency, difficult to maneuver in the field, and had no ammunition capable of fighting enemy infantry. They were also vulnerable to anti-tank grenade launchers due to their relatively weak armor. After modernization, some of these defects were removed, but the combat performance of the M551 was still far from that for which it was intended. In 1978 they were withdrawn from service, with the exception of some airborne and airborne subunits. The M551 Sheridan took part in the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991), after which it was completely withdrawn from service in the US Army. We do not ship to the Canary Islands
