Historical information and application

The 105 mm M-68 barrel was adopted by Israel from the original British L7, to modernize captured Soviet T-55 tanks, which were designated as TIRAN 5. This modernization mainly took place after the Six-Day War in 1967, when Israel seized a significant number of Soviet-designed tanks. The TIRAN 5 tanks equipped with the M-68 barrel were extensively used during conflicts in the Middle East during the 1970s and 1980s, especially during the Yom Kippur War and the 1982 Lebanon invasion.
