AMX-13 Light Tank
This French made light tank was first produced
in 1949. It caused a technical uproar because it had a front mounted
engine and the driver sat next to the engine compartment. This is
the first modern tank bought by the IDF (1956). Israel upgraded
her AMX-13s with a 90mm main gun.

The original French AMX-13 high velocity 75mm gun was derived from
the German Panther's main gun. |
