The first vehicles of this type appeared in service shortly after 1973. The car was powered by a single diesel engine General Motors 8V-71T. The armament consisted of a single 105mm Sharir cannon and two 7.62mm and 12.7mm Browning machine guns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The genesis of the Tiran 6 tank dates back to the Yom-Kippur war that won Israel in 1973, when a certain number of T-62 vehicles (mainly Syrian) fell into the hands of the armed forces of that country. As it was a relatively modern tank at that time, the command of the Israeli armed forces decided to modernise the captured vehicles and adapt them to their own needs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompared to the original T-62, the Israeli Tiran 6 has several important modifications. First of all, it received a different engine, a 105mm gun in place of the original 115mm gun, different secondary armament, much better optical devices and radio equipment. In addition, some of the Tiran 6 cars also received the \"Blazer\" reactive armour. Cars of this type began to be withdrawn from active service in the 1980s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49111193878779,"sku":"9580208055763","price":1259.95,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/0398\/4552\/files\/Trumpeter-1-35-IDF-Tiran-6-MBT.jpg?v=1785223029","url":"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/products\/tru05576","provider":"Jix Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
