The Vickers Vijayanta main battle tank was built in India in the 1960s and 1970s. It was a licensed copy of the UK's Centurion tank, which was phased out of service with the UK's military around 1980.
Specifications varied, and they were modified during their period in service but most were roughly equivalent to the Centurion Mk XIII used by Israel in the 1967 and 1973 wars — a design with somewhat heavier armor and somewhat less mobility than most for the period, and a NATO-standard 105mm/L68 main gun.
