M26 Pershing tank

The M26 Pershing was an American heavy tank used during World War II, designed to better compete with German tanks. It featured a powerful 90mm gun for effective frontal fire and thick armor for protection. Faster and more maneuverable than earlier tanks, the Pershing provided critical firepower and durability on the battlefield. Although introduced late in the war, it helped improve U.S. armored capabilities and influenced future tank design. Its combination of firepower, protection, and mobility made it a significant step forward in tank technology during that era.
