Historical Information

The M-50A1 is an Israeli modernization of the American M4 Sherman medium tank, equipped with a 75 mm cannon adapted from a French gun. It was widely used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during Middle Eastern conflicts, including the Suez Crisis in 1956, the Six-Day War in 1967, and the Yom Kippur War in 1973. The model accurately reflects a vehicle from the Cold War era and numerous local conflicts of the 1950s through the 1970s.
