M-47 MEDIUM TANK USA

In many respects the M-47 tank is a modernized WW2 M-26 Pershing. The M-46 Patton Medium tank, named after the famous George S. Patton, was a mixture of previous designs, and by the time it was fielded in 1949, was already somewhat obsolete. Army ordnance decided to use the M-46 as the basis for the M-47. The urgent need for development of a new tank was becoming even more critical when war broke out in Korea in 1950. Although some M-26s and M-46s were available, they were already considered obsolete and a new medium tank was needed badly. 8,576 M-47s were produced between June 1951 and November 1953. One of the disadvantages in the M-47 was that the turret could not be turned manually, which made the tank vulnerable if the turret’s motor broke down. Ironically, no M-47 ever saw any action in the Korean War. A durable vehicle, most were exported under the US mutual aid program. The M-47 was also made famous in the movie “Full Metal Jacket”.
