History
The Centurion has seen action in a number of theatres such as the Indo-Pakistan wars, Korea and Vietnam with the most extensive service being with the IDF which still uses versions of the Cent today in many support configurations. As well as the gun tanks from Mk.I to Mk.13 ranging in armament from the original 17pdr (76.2mm), through the 20pdr (83.4mm) to the later L7 105mm, the Centurion was also used as the basis for many specialised vehicles such as ARV/AVREs, bridge layers, Dozer tanks, BARVs as well as the many specialised vehicles in the IDF with these vehicles also being fitted with the AVD-S1790-2A Diesel engine.
