The Covered Vehicle – M51 Sherman

The M51 Sherman, also known as the "Isherman," is an Israeli modernization of the famous American M4 Sherman tank. The IDF utilized Sherman chassis, adapting them to meet modern military requirements of the 1960s and 70s. The key upgrade involved installing a powerful 105 mm gun and adding new fenders and armor, enabling the M51 Sherman to compete with more advanced enemy vehicles. These tanks took part in, among others, the Six-Day War (1967) and the Yom Kippur War (1973), demonstrating high effectiveness on the battlefield.
