Historical Overview of the M-46 Patton Tank

The M-46 Patton tank marked an important stage in the development of American combat vehicles. It entered service after World War II, specifically during the years 1949-1957, and was intensively used during the Korean conflict. This vehicle was an improvement upon the later versions of the M26 Pershing and served as a technological bridge between the first and next generation Patton tanks – the M47. The M-46 formed the backbone of US armored forces at the beginning of the Cold War and was also used by allies, such as South Korea.
