What's new

Which tank will Peru purchase ?

Singaporean soldiers are training in Israel on the MK4 tank, not so sure however as of delivering tanks all the way to Singapore.
Never heard about it,but i know that few years ago singapore think about the option to buy the meks.
 
Peru needs new tanks for what,protection against aliens?
 
See post #4
''Chile: improving after settlement of territorial disputes
Ecuador: improving after settlement of territorial disputes''
I still dont see why Peru would need new tanks,all territorial disputes have been settled(as you stated).
 
I've seen that with my own eyes. Singapore tankers train in Israel for decades.
Then it is general tank training.

Maybe because the 50 or so T-55s remaining (of 280 plus 24 T-54 delivered in the mid-1970s) are .... OLD, WORN, OBSOLETE. Just 16% of the delivered tanks still operational and these are no match for 105mm equipped Leo1 tanks with better firecontrol. (Leopard 1 was originally conceived in the 1960s to face the threat of the Soviet T-54, T-55 and T-62. Fitted with a - then - revolutionary fire-control system, it was the first to use a laser rangefinder allowing all-weather, day or night, vision. ) . Let alone Leopard 2.

Besides, just because there are no real territorial disputes anymore, doesn't mean you don't need an army or tanks. Or else, much of the rest of the tank owning world wouldn't need them.

ANSWER:

"Peru’s half-Jewish president conducts Israel’s Philharmonic in Lima"

Peru’s President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, whose father was a Jewish refugee, conducted Israel’s Philharmonic Orchestra during the playing of the Peruvian national anthem at a Lima concert earlier this month.

Peru's enemy Chile and Israel have already had old partnership.

" When the Chileans bought most of Israel’s surplus M-50 and M-51 tanks, about 50-65 of them were modified with a new Israeli autocannon: the 60mm HVMS (Hyper-Velocity Medium Support). These were designated the M-60 (but sometimes called the M-51/60mm or M-51 [HVMS]). The guns were sold to the Chileans separate from the tanks, with Chilean engineers fitting them to the tanks with Israeli assistance in Chile. These were used for a little over a decade as heavy support vehicles for infantry and as ad hoc AAA vehicles. Matching fire control systems were fitted, and this, combined with the high velocity and flat trajectory of the 60mm HVMS, gave the Chileans a surprisingly accurate and effective support tank despite the fire control systems’ relative simplicity. In addition, mobility is increased, as the suspension is beefed up and the engine and transmission are replaced with ones adapted from those of the Cadillac Gage Stingray light tank; the engine develops 535 horsepower. The use of an autocannon made a loader crewman unnecessary. Though the war with Peru that the Chileans were preparing for never materialized, it was believed by the Chileans that the 60mm HVMS autocannon would have been able to kill Peruvian T-55s even from the front. The Chileans continued to employ their M-60s (and M-50s and M-51s) until the mid-1990s; after that, most of them ended up as gunnery targets. The 60mm HVMS autocannons, however, were removed and mounted in license-built 6x6 Piranhas manufactured in Chile.

It should be noted that the Israelis never called the M-51 the Isherman; this was an appellation hung on it by the Western press (Isherman = I-Sherman = Improved Sherman).

I don't think israel will sale the MK4m to anyone,maybe the mk3baz

Why dont they sell to Latin American Country far from Israel 10.000km?
Is Merkava Mk4 the super tank that equial to nuclear weapon?

If you pay the summ of this expensive tank, Jews will sell with pleasure:)))

Israeli Mirage jets bought during the Falklands War, painted with the Peruvian flag as a way of enabling the sale

Meanwhile, Peruvian president Fernando Belaunde Therry authorised the transport of arms from Israel to Lima and Callao, a major Pacific port, before their transfer to Buenos Aires aboard Aerolíneas Argentinas aircraft.

Crucially, the Peruvian air force signed blank purchase orders during the 74-day conflict, enabling the Argentine dictatorship to request whatever it needed from Israel.
