The only pic's of T-67's in combat during the 1973 war show no storage box's on the back or side of the turret

Did any T-67's with storage box's see any combat during the 1973 war

Also... besides the 105mm gun and the smaller box's on the turret...what other change's were there to the Ti-67's during the 1973 war

In a word , NO. The stowage box configuration was a post Yom Kippur War modification. Most likelly a result of a number of factors. The first being there were now sufficient captured vehicles of type to warrant adding standard storage beyond what was already in use, two combat exprience with the tank showed the need for such storge. And last but not least the needed storage was designed in such a way as to differentiate IDF Tirans from enemy 54/55s.

Josh,

Do you have a list of items changed at the time of the Yom Kippur War? I thought that the gun and engine were changed. Do you know if this is correct? Also, do you know what machine guns were used, what changes were made to the hatches and if the stowage bin at the rear of the hull was used then?

A lot of questions, but any help is greatly appreciated.
Dave
