Mind if I join in chaps  It's a Soviet T10 based on the IS3 or rather a modernised version, it's at the Great Patriotic War Museum Kiev, which is strange as this beast was developed after the war!

It's not named after a person, RH-ALAN is a marketing company, the tank itself is just the Degman.

So the question was name the tank and country? It was the Croatian M95 Degman, so eventhough Swarztpanzer did mention Degman it was Steelers whom nailed it. Though it's down to Steelers if he wants to let you go for it

OOPS! I got confused. I din't notice the and country bit, and I wondered if steelers was the guy who asked the question. Will have to be more thorough next time (if I only had a brain!). Was probably too excited at actually getting one right, for a change.
Thanks steelers.:)
This tank was used by the Americans, British, Chinese, French, Germans, Russians and Spanish, possibly among others. It was not the Sherman. What was it?

We have a winner! Over to you Cov. :)
It's amazing how much action the FT-17 saw - if a Sherman was captured and used in the Korean war, then it has a rival. Otherwise, I don't think it has any competitors for the amount of users? The T-34 maybe, but those users had no tank production facilities themselves.

Oh cool, cheers Schwartzpanzer.
This is a multi question.
This tank was originally built in one country, sold to loads if others including a certain middle east country whom had one shipped to the USA and was upgunned, added extra road wheel and various other changes. It was then sent back to this middle east country for trials in late 1980's and approx 260 were rebuilt and went into production in 2004-5 and renamed after an ancient person.
Name the original tank, it's host country whom sent it to USA and it's new name.

Not fair Steelers, i know it was a Centurion but with the Leopard 2 gun. I'll at a loss (for now).
 If it move's its a target, if it stays still its a well disciplined target.

Is it a Cent with a Falcon turret for the Jordanian Al Hussein main battle tank. Normally it would be a Chally 1 tank.
