This particular example served in Central America as part of the Ejercito Paterno-Mexicano, or Paterno-Mexican Army, commanded by Lt. Miguel Gonzalez of the 94th Mechanized Division, who is credited with knocking out eight tanks in the war. A skilled tank commander and tactician, he was nicknamed "Segador," or "Reaper," by both friend and foe due to his skill in combat. His unit was instrumental during the Battle for Soto Cano Air Base near Comayagua, Honduras, where his unit led the nighttime assault that smashed through the three infantry, two mechanized, and two armored divisions committed to defending the airfield.
