The 65-ton M103 main battle tank served with the US Army and US Marine Corps (USMC) during the height of the Cold War from 1957 to 1974.
Its entire design was based on defeating heavy Soviet tanks and therefore it featured a rifled 120mm M58 cannon.
This gun fired a shell that required two loaders, so the crew consisted of five men.
The armor on the front of the turret was up to 180 mm thick.
About 300 T43E1 tanks were built, of which 219 were later converted to M103A1 standard and 153 were converted to M103A2.
