Tiran 5 – Historical Background

The Tiran 5 tank is an Israeli modernization of the Soviet T-55, acquired after the Middle Eastern wars of the 1960s. The Israelis adapted the vehicle to their requirements by changing the communication systems, armament, and adding extra armor. The Tiran 5 was widely used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during the Cold War period, especially after the Six-Day War (1967) and the Yom Kippur War (1973). The vehicle was renowned for its reliability and ease of operation. For example, this tank was actively used during operations in Lebanon in the 1980s.
