The T-65 Zhelez is a Stasnovan main battle tank, a further developement of the T-57 Kladiv. The T-65 was produced between 1958 and 1973. It became a standard tank in the Stasnovan arsenal, partly replacing the T-57. The T-65 was later replaced in frontline service Seperate Tank Regiments by the T-67, and was used in the infantry support role in Motor Rifle units.
