It entered service in 1959 (hence the name) and is still used by several nations today.
The Type 59 was a copy of the Soviet T-54 tank series and received several modifications and simplifications in its design.
Still, no one can deny the effectiveness of this tank and its fighting tradition, even without all the Soviet technology.
Equipped with a 100mm cannon, eventually replaced by a 105mm cannon in later variants, the Type 59 was a force to be reckoned with - a reliable, flexible tank for use in all sorts of military situations.
