Historical background

The T-34/85 tank is a legend of World War II battlefields, but its career did not end in 1945. Significant numbers of these vehicles made their way into the hands of Middle Eastern armies, especially Egypt, which received them as part of military support from the Soviet Union. The Egyptian T-34/85s played a key role in the Arab-Israeli wars, including the Suez Crisis (1956), Six-Day War (1967), and Yom Kippur War (1973), forming the backbone of Egypt’s armored forces during these dramatic Cold War periods.
