#MediumTank

The Lorraine 40t was a French medium tank designed to replace the AMX-50 then in development. Once American M47 Patton tanks became available, interest in both the AMX-50 and 40t decreased and the two prototypes were scrapped. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/lorraine-40t-french-medium-tank/ #Lorraine40t #FrenchTank #Tank #MediumTank

The Lorraine 40t was a French medium tank designed to replace the AMX-50 then in development. The AMX-50 project became too heavy once changes were incorporated to increase armour and gun size to combat the IS-3. As a result the Lorraine 40t had thinner armour and rubber road wheels. Armament consisted of a 100mm gun in an oscillating turret with a 50 round magazine. Two prototypes were completed in 1952, with evaluations being undertaken until 1954. Once American M47 Patton tanks became available, interest in both the AMX-50 and 40t decreased and the two prototypes were scrapped.

Based on the #Cromwell #tank, the #FV4101 #Charioteer #MediumTank was a #BritishArmy of the early 1950s. Most were sold to Austria, Finland, Jordan and Lebanon. Around 442 were produced. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/fv4101-charioteer-medium-tank/ #CharioteerTank #FV4101 #BritishArmy #Tank #militaryHistory

Based on the Cromwell tank, the FV4101 Charioteer Medium Tank was a British medium tank of the early 1950s. Weight limits on the Cromwell’s suspension meant that the turret for the Charioteer had minimal armour (20-30mm), while at the same time being larger to accommodate the 84 mm (3.3 in) Ordnance QF 20 pounder gun (the Cromwell had a Ordnance QF 75 mm gun).

While the Charioteer was being manufactured, the British Army underwent a re-organization and only a few entered service. The surplus vehicles were sold to Austria, Finland, Jordan and Lebanon. Around 442 were produced.

A13 Mk.III Cruiser Mk.V Covenanter https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/a13-mk-iii-cruiser-mk-v-covenanter/ #tank #InfantryTank #MediumTank #BritishTank #Covenanter #covenantertank #WorldWar2 #WorldWarTwo #SecondWorldWar #WW2 #WWii

The A13 Mk.III Cruiser Mk.V Covenanter was designed as a cheaper and lighter cruiser tank to replace the cruiser Mk. IV. It was armed with a two ponder gun and had 30mm armour. Problems with engines overheated made it unsuitable for deployment overseas, relegating it to training in the UK. Although the Mk. IV solved the overheating issues it was declared obsolete in 1943 and all remaining tanks scrapped.

A bridge-laying version of the Conevanter was developed and became the only A13s deployed operationally. A mine clearance version was produced but was not used operationally.

T54 US Medium Tank https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/t54-medium-tank/ #T54 #T54MediumTank #USArmy #tank #military #warfare #army #MediumTank

The T54 was a series of prototype American medium tanks based on the M48 Patton chassis. Three turret variations all armed with a 105mm gun were evaluated:

T54 with a standard turret and auto-loader
T54E1 with an oscillating turret and autoloader
T54E2 with a standard turret and human loader
The project was abandoned in 1957 in favour of the T95 medium tank
