The Centurion Tank is a British-built main battle tank that served as the primary tank of the British Army from the 1940s to the 1980s. It was designed and built by Leyland Motors in Lancashire, England, and first entered service in 1945. The Centurion saw extensive combat during the Korean War and the Gulf War, earning a reputation for its reliability, durability, and firepower. It was also exported to numerous countries, including Australia, Canada, and Sweden. The tank's design featured a distinctive sloping armor plate, a powerful 20-pounder main gun, and a top speed of approximately 21 miles per hour.
