Comments: This French-origin tank was used during the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak Wars. The AMX-13 MBTs were kept in reserve status until recently and have since been disposed of. They are now used in a variety of roles - from target practice by the Indian Air Force (IAF) to static memorials at various military establishments around the country.
