Vehicles in this series were particularly active during Middle Eastern conflicts, including the Yom Kippur War in 1973, where they proved their reliability and firepower in demanding desert terrain. Major modifications included the installation of a high-performance diesel engine, modern fire-control systems, and extensive ballistic protection—significantly prolonging the tank’s service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) into the 1980s.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWho do we recommend it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    We recommend the AFV Club 35282 model both to enthusiasts of Israeli armored vehicles and those interested in modern armed conflicts and military vehicle adaptations.
