This is my third trip to Israel and my second trip to the Armored Corps Museum and Monument at Latrun. The museum at Latrun has dozens of tanks from all of the wars in Israel, including many captured Soviet-built tanks used by Arab armies. Several of the tanks on display are variants of the Patton tank that I served on in West Germany during the Cold War.
On my last visit, I wrote a Patton tank that is sliced in half lengthwise showing the guns, ammo racks, engine, fuel tank and all of the other equipment inside the tank: https://armynow.blogspot.com/2019/11/at-armored-corps-museum-latrun-israel.html
And I have pictures of other tanks on display at Latrun: https://armynow.blogspot.com/2019/11/armor-from-entire-cold-war-and-beyond.html
Below are a few pictures of Patton tanks. Like me, the oldest of them are of early 50s vintage.
