It was designed as a replacement for the M26 Pershing, M4 Sherman, M46 and M47 Patton tanks, and was the main battle tank of the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps in the Vietnam War (and the first American MBT). 🔎 M48A3 Patton tanks participated in the Persian Gulf War in 1991. They were used to support infantry and other armored units. As of 1991, M48A3 Patton tanks made up about 20% of the US Army’s tank fleet. They were the most common tanks in the US Army at the time. During Operation Desert Storm, M48A3 Patton tanks were used to support the US advance on Iraqi positions. They were involved in battles on all fronts of the operation, including the battles for Kuwait, Khafji, and Al-Wafra. 🔎 M48A3 Patton tanks proved to be reliable and effective in combat. They played a key role in the US victory in the Persian Gulf War. According to data from the US Central Command, M48A3 Patton tanks destroyed or damaged about 200 Iraqi tanks and armored personnel carriers during Operation Desert Storm. Despite their effectiveness, M48A3 Patton tanks were already outdated by the time Operation Desert Storm began. They were vulnerable to modern anti-tank weapons, such as anti-tank missiles and grenade launchers. After the Persian Gulf War, M48A3 Patton tanks were gradually replaced by more modern M1 Abrams tanks.
