Historical background of the model

The Tiran 4 Sharir tanks were created in Israel based on captured Soviet T-54 tanks, which Israel acquired after the Six-Day War (1967) and the Yom Kippur War (1973). The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) used Tirans between 1967 and 1980, making them a characteristic part of the armored warfare history of the Cold War period and Middle Eastern conflicts. The Tiran 4 Sharir, as a modernization, was distinguished by improved equipment, Israeli radios, adaptation for NATO 105 mm ammunition, and other local modifications suited to the IDF's requirements. These tanks supported units in Sinai, the Golan Heights, and Southern Lebanon.
