The Tiran 5 is an Israeli variant of the Soviet T-55 tank, which entered the Israeli army after the Six-Day War (1967) when the Israel Defense Forces captured numerous tanks from Arab armies. After thorough upgrades—including the installation of new communication devices, optics, machine guns, and other modifications—the vehicles were renamed Tiran and served from the late 1960s to the early 1980s, participating in, among others, the Yom Kippur War and the 1982 Lebanon invasion.
