M4 Sherman T31

The Sherman-based T31 demolition tank was an American late-Second World War experimental vehicle intended for assault work against obstacles and fortified positions. Its unusual weapons and turret arrangement reflected specialized engineering requirements.

The T31 combined a heavily modified turret with short-range demolition weapons on an M4A3-based hull. Development reflected American interest in equipment comparable in purpose to Britain’s assault-engineering tanks, capable of attacking defended obstacles under armor. A pilot vehicle was produced, but the war’s end undermined the immediate requirement. Its unusual turret and experimental weapons distinguish it from ordinary Sherman gun tanks and from established recovery, bulldozer, flame, or mine-clearing adaptations.
