what tanks were used in vietnam
This old veteran hap-. pens to be an M48A3 main battle tank, the tank employed by most Armor and. Armored Cavalry units in Vietnam. The 69th Armor Association had. spent several years searching for an. âA3,â an appropriate memorial of their. Vietnam experience, for exhibit at the. museum. The problem was that most of. these tanks had long since been either. upgraded to M48A5s, passed on to al-. lies, or dumped in the ocean to form. artificial reefs.
The M48 Patton medium tank was used by the Pakistani Army during the Indo-Pakistani War in 1965 and by both Israel and Jordan during the Six-Day War in 1967. It was used by forces on both sides during the Lebanese Civil War. By the 1990s, the M48 was no longer in service with the United States.
