Reality Capture of A Historic Singapore Tank

At Singapore’s independence, the first tanks of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) paraded past City Hall during the National Day Parade in 1969. The French-made AMX-13 tanks led the mobile column and had a lasting impression on the spectators and general public. These tanks signified the fortitude, indomitable will and fighting spirit of our fledgling nation, and demonstrated the SAF’s defence capability and the role of national servicemen during this period of newly-independent Singapore’s history.

In 1988, the AMX-13 tank was upgraded to the AMX-13 SM1 tank to improve its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This decommissioned tank is on special display at National Museum Singapore.
