TI-67 (Ti-67, Tiran 4, Tiran 5) - Israeli modifications of the Soviet medium tanks T-54 and T-55. Produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s. "Tiran-6" - T-62, converted to IDF standards.
Due to the relatively small number of captured T-62s (200-300 pieces), no more than 100 copies were produced. As an additional protection, caterpillar tracks were attached to the turrets of some tanks.
Also, on some tanks, it was possible to install the "Blazer" dynamic protection kit of the 1st generation (with a total weight of 800-1000 kg).
Tanks of this type were in service with the IDF until the early 1980s, after which they were transferred to reserve units.
