I wonder how they dealt with a tank, the rebels you know.

Generally tanks weren't very useful against rebels at that time.  They broke down way too much and couldn't really handle difficult terrain.  When they could get in combat they were great of course, but mostly they were just to show power/force in towns and cities.

The British used armored cars for shows of force against peaceful demonstrators by firing MGs at them. They also used them to break up riots. (Moplah)

I thought about Leopard too but doesn't the Polish army develop own tanks?
EDIT: Should research before posting next time. They only developed upgraded T-72 and prototypes that were never introduced.
