This is the first volume in the new series on Israeli armor wrecks and scrapyards that covers tanks and other armor vehicles in Israeli bases, scrapyards, and museums. Authored by Dr. Robert Manasherob, a world recognized expert on Israeli military vehicles, this first volume contains detailed descriptions of Tiran 4, 5 and 6 tanks and their wrecks after service with IDF and SLA. The photos in this book will allow modelers and tank enthusiasts to observe many details that usually cannot be seen on active service and well-maintained tanks. The wrecks photos are more fascinating since each of the wrecks is unique, with different areas of damage and a lack of components, different color, rust patterns, and remnants of markings. Amongst the contents are the following: 80 pages in full color, more than 230 color photos, dozens of unique and previously unpublished photos, walk-around photos, details of "Tiran" 4 and "Tiran" 5 with original 100 mm Russian D-10 gun, "Tiran" 5 with 105 mm "Shrir" gun, "Tiran" 5 with reactive armor, wrecks and cannibalized "Tiran" 5, "Tiran" 6 and etc., suspension detail photos, interior detail photos and engine compartment detail photos.
The book contains no less than 230 colour photos, many of which have never been published before, various photo tours around individual vehicles, details of "Tiran" 4 and 5 with original Russian 100 mm D-10 gun, "Tiran" 5 with 105 mm "Shirl" gun, "Tiran" 5 with reactive armour, wrecks and cannibalised examples of "Tiran" 5 and 6, etc. Detailed photos of the chassis, interiors and engine areas of various "Tiran" models.
