[Super Sherman, Savior of Israel]
-After its founding in 1948, Israel purchased a surplus of M4 Sherman tanks from Western countries and made them the core of the Army.
-In the 1950s, the M4A1 Sherman tank equipped with a 76mm gun M1 capable of competing with the Arab T34/85 was introduced.
-We named it the M1 Super Sherman to distinguish it from the 75mm gun-mounted type up to that point.
-Equipped with a star-shaped air-cooled gasoline engine in a rounded cast body. Many vehicles were equipped with vertical spiral spring suspension (VVSS) around the suspension.
-The first battle was launched in the Second Middle East War that broke out in October 1956, and demonstrated its ability in the desert battle on the Sinai Peninsula.
-Continued to struggle in successive battles, and some vehicles were used until the 1970s.
