T26 Pershing

The T26 Pershing was a U.S. heavy tank developed during World War II, designed to counter German armored vehicles. Introduced in 1945, it featured a powerful 105mm gun and advanced armor for its time, offering better firepower and protection compared to earlier tanks. It played a significant role in the latter stages of the war, particularly in the European theater. Although it arrived too late to see extensive action in WWII, the Pershing influenced post-war tank designs and served in various conflicts, marking a key development in tank technology and military strategy.
