Tanks In The Vietrnam War - Best Photos And Videos Of These Tanks.

Although a plethora of deadly weapons and new tactics for killing people were employed throughout the Vietnam War, only a handful of different tanks were used. This may be because of the terrain, which was often jungle interwoven with many rivers and swamps. However, the following tanks were used during the Vietnam War: M41 Walker Bulldog light tank (South Vietnamese Army), M48 Patton medium tank, M551 Sheridan, Centurion main battle tank (Australia). The American used a few Sherman M4A3-M4A6 medium tanks in Vietnam (The M4 Sherman medium tank was the most common Allied tank used in World War II).
