Comparing: M48A1 Patton vs. T-22 medium

The most successful American medium tank in the immediate post-war period. Development started in 1950. In April 1953, the vehicle entered service. A total of 11,703 vehicles of different variants were produced from 1952 through 1959.

The prototype of the A-22 hull was produced in 1949. The design incorporated rolled armor plates with maximum slope angles. Test firing showed that the hull was well-protected from high-caliber Armor-Piercing shells. The hull was used as a basis for the project of the T-22 medium tank. Development was discontinued after the preparation of the suspension and general design. Later, the best innovations were applied in the development of the Object 907.
