History and Use

The AMX-13/90 is one of the most recognizable versions of the AMX-13 light tank family, produced in France since the early 1950s. The modernization involving the installation of a 90 mm gun enabled effective combat against armored targets, significantly increasing the combat value of the vehicle. AMX-13 tanks were used not only by the French armed forces, but were also exported to countries in South America, Asia, and the Middle East. The 90 mm version was, among others, part of the Israeli army’s equipment during the Middle Eastern conflicts, as well as the armies of India, Argentina, and Indonesia. The tank took part in numerous conflicts from the Cold War era (from the 1950s to the late 1980s), including the Six-Day War (1967) and the Indo-Pakistani War.
