amphibious tanks? r they produced in other nations?
It is based on the Soviet PT-76 design as was very successful in Vietnam and the Indians used it very effectively in fording many rivers in their 1971 Bangladesh campaign. Even in direct firefights they proved superior to the Americunt M-24 Chaffee light tanks the Pakistanis deployed around Dacca, Bogra and Jessore. Most modern tanks can now be turned amphibious and they can be sealed for NBC warfare.

105mm rifled barrel was a very powerful gun in its era about 60 years ago.
