The Centurion was a British medium tank designed as a replacement for older tanks. It first entered service in 1945 and underwent several upgrades that allowed it to remain in active service into the 21st century. Powered by a water-cooled engine, it reached a top speed of 35 km/h (35 mph). The main weapon was the 105 mm L7 cannon. Armour protection was upgraded to withstand modern anti-tank weapons. The Centurion was widely used in many conflicts around the world and became one of the most successful tanks in history due to its performance, reliability and defensibility. After leaving service with the British Army in 1990, the Centurion is still found in several countries such as Israel, India and South Africa.
