Historical Information

The M103 A2 was the heaviest tank in service with the United States Army after World War II. Manufactured at the Detroit Tank Arsenal and introduced into service in 1957, it served until the mid-1970s, being operated by the United States Army and the US Marines. Developed in response to the Soviet IS-8 (T-10) tanks, the M103 model never saw actual combat, but it was a significant element of the Cold War balance of power. The vehicle's turret was distinguished by its massive size due to the installation of a powerful 120 mm gun, as well as the presence of two loaders in addition to the gunner and commander.
