Information About

Patton Tank




The Patton tank replaced later versions of the M4 Sherman and M26 Pershing . Internationally, many various Patton models remain in service. Although referred to here as the Patton series, the M48 and M60A1 were each completely new tank designs, despite their outward resemblance. The latest version of the Patton was the M60A3 variant that entered service in 1978. In 1980 the M1 Abrams was introduced, which would replace the Patton tank series over a ten year period (Some M48A5 models also served alongside them both as well into the 1980s).

The M103 Heavy Tank shared some components of the M47, M48 and M60.
