Sherman Tank - M51 Super Sherman | Tank Historia

The M51 Super Sherman Tank is arguably the best example of upgrading equipment far beyond original expectations to meet new requirements. It is perhaps the greatest proof of Sherman's excellent and adaptable design. Nearly 20 years after the first Shermans rolled off the production line Israel modified around 180 of their own to carry an enormous 105 mm gun. This was nothing like the 105 mm howitzer used on Shermans during WWII, but a long, tank killing weapon designed by the French.
