Mark 1A Olifant
The Olifant has been continually upgraded. The Mark 1A entered full-scale production in 1983 and the first were in service by 1985.
The Olifant Mk 1A is a significant upgrade to the Centurion. The original gun was replaced by a 105mm L-7 rifled gun; a bank of eight smoke grenade dischargers was installed on either side of the turret; a new, more powerful engine was installed; the night vision gear was again upgraded; and the armor was upgraded. The Laser rangefinder was incorporated into the gunner's sight.
