The development of the tank began in 1948. It was supposed to create a tank with weapons equivalent to the M46, but with better armor. Due to the low engine power, the tank was not sufficiently mobile. After the release of 6 prototypes, the work was minimized. The developments of turret, gun, and control systems were later used to create the M47 tank.
The main feature of this tank is the strong turret.
Lo sviluppo del carro armato iniziò nel 1948. Avrebbe dovuto creare un carro armato con armi equivalenti all’M46, ma con corazze migliori. A causa della bassa potenza del motore, il carro non era sufficientemente mobile. Dopo il rilascio di 6 prototipi, il lavoro è stato ridotto al minimo. Gli sviluppi della torretta, del cannone e dei sistemi di controllo sono stati successivamente utilizzati per creare il carro M47.
La caratteristica principale di questo carro armato è la torretta ben corazzata.
