M47 Patton Main Battle Tank

The M47 Patton was an American tank developed during the Korean War era, combining an updated turret and fire-control system with an evolutionary hull design. Although intended to improve armored capability quickly, it did not fight in Korea with American forces. It became particularly important in foreign service through transfers and sales to NATO and other countries. Its 90 mm gun and automotive arrangements distinguish it from the later M48 and M60 families. National modernization programs created further differences, so its export career cannot be reduced to one unchanging equipment standard. Its overseas service included combat in South Asia and the Middle East.
