Does anyone know if the IDF ever used Centurions with dozer blades? If so, do you know if they were also outfitted with the armored 100 gallon external tank? Were they dozers used in 1967 or 1973?

Thanks,
Noah

Hi Noah

In the old book, israeli tanks and combat vehicles by S. Zaloga, there several pictures
of centurions.
One of them shows a centurion fitted with a russian BTU doozer blade. As for the external
fueltanks, they dont seem to have them fitted.

No date or year is given in the text about the centurion dozer.
Sorry I jumped to conclusions, without activating my brain fist

But the cent looks cool with the russian blade......
