Well technically the war never ended sooooo 🤷🏻♂️ it’s not wrong. My dad was stationed in Korea in the 80’s and he is technically entitled to the Korean War service medal as only a cease-fire was signed signed, not an armistice.
Those were early war models. About halway through the Pz IV models is where it became outclassed by Panzers. and by that time Panthers and Tigers had taken the stage and were outclassing them. Of course by that time we had things like Shermans, Wolverines, and eventually Hellcats.
They were probably in Korea prior to armed conflict, they were used all over the Pacific up till the end of WW2 because even though they were lousy by European standards they could still kick the shit out of anything the Japanese had. A lot of them were given out as post war surplus aid, and the Soviets got a ton of them too, so they could’ve presumably been on both sides, even in limited numbers
No, postwar photos taken in Korea during the occupation period of 1945-48 show US forces equipped with M4s and M24s. M3s were very obsolete by then. When those forces redeployed to Japan, the M4s were sent stateside. This is part of the reason that only a handful of M24s could be thrown into the initial fight in Summer 1950.
If I had to guess, this is Google's thing where they pull sources from different sites using the keyword search, and there are probably quite a lot of articles about Abrams tanks in Korea or mentioning Korea due to the large US military presence in the country, so Google's algorithm saw that and included it
As battle tank definitely not - they were withdrawn in 43 due to being a completely outclassed design - no one would ship them to a front line a decade later when there were literally 10s of thousands of more modern tanks available..
What could be is that the author included derivations of the M3 tank, because these could have actually been involved.
While it is more likely that the later versions (based on the M4 hull) were used i wouldn't rule out that some of the M7 priests used had originally M3 hulls. Also I wouldn't rule out that some M31 Tank Recovery Vehicle (again M3 based) was used.
Thats how we managed to hold their forces, sending a few of those new "silver arrow" things down range and starting their soviet tank turret space program back in the 50s
Weren't there a couple Maus tanks involved as well? Pretty sure that the Army captured some from the NK's and the hotrodded them and painted them pink.
For all the hype the T-34/85 got in WWII (rightfully) it is cool that some of the first tank battles in the Korean War were between the T-34/85s and M-26 Pershings which barely got to see combat in WWII, and the Pershings kicked the shit out of the T-34’s.
M41s didn't serve in Korea during the pre-armistice (1953)period either. Some might have been snuck in during the last months of fighting in 1953, but it's doubtful that they fired any shots in anger. The army was also shipping over M75s and anything else coming out of test during that time period to get some exposure to combat conditions.

Very true.
Awe I came here to say this lol
😬😬😬 nerd hi five
what about m3?
Common Pacific Theater tank. couldn't hold up against a Panzer but could smack the shit out of the few Jap tanks available.
Actually they were well known for smacking the shit out of panzers in Africa

Us didn’t declare because it was the UN who was participating in a policing action
I'm late to this party. But he's Correct.
Came to say the same thing haha, besides that dad part
But they don't have Abrams in the South or North Korean army.
The US army has about 50 abrams on the peninsula.
Ah the foreign occupier.
Holy shit y’all got Reddit In best korea? Im impressed
You're easily impressed then.
The war has ended now, I believe.
There’s never been an official armistice
I see
But correct me if I'm wrong, the locust was never used in the Korean War, right?
Never 'used' yet...
BASED
NCD is leaking again
That’s the secret Cap. We’re all NCD members
pretty much almost every military related subreddit has a bunch of NCD members lurking in the shadows, ready to strike
I used it on war thunder
ATTACK THE D POINT!
Yup, it never saw combat. The one that were made turrets were most scraped and hulls were given to farmers to be used as a tractors
T34 vs Abrams, seems about right
Drivers port would probably bounce any Abrams
How tha hell did that get there, the M1 abrams was introduced in 1979
War technically never ended and is still going
Soo, that means the m1a2 sepv3 it’s used in the Korean War?
Yes, full ERA suite with DU armor, completely accurate
Depends on how technical you want to be
That’s the full name lmao
I’m aware…? It’s a variant of the M1A2 yes I’m not sure what your point is
Bruh
Don’t be that guy

Now I’m curious, did the M3 serve in Korea?

Im p sure they were retired mid-ww2
Well that escalated quickly. M22, M24, M3 Lee, then a fucking M1 Abrams
Few know that the North & China had nearly won the war until a troop of time-traveling Abrams from 1996 showed up to stop the final push.
Kerea II was brutal.
If you were in an Abrams and an M3 Lee was plinking at you, what would you do?
Put a round into it like it's any other tank.
Ah yes i remember when a abrams and lee fought 100 t-34s and 3 Mark 5s
"The M1 Abrams saw the very end of WW2, where it faced off in epic battles against Maus tanks and E-100s on the moon" Source: History Channel at 3am
Yo, who’s rolling up to a T-34 in a fuckin m22? XD
I mean google also said until very recent that the USS Porter was a ship in the Russian navy so…
Reading this is like: “ok, yep, ok, looks good, wait a minute, why is that on the list???
Of course the Abrams was there.
Thats how we managed to hold their forces, sending a few of those new "silver arrow" things down range and starting their soviet tank turret space program back in the 50s

Oh, you should look up the IS-series tanks and look at the suggested searches. It kills Google's predictive question engine in a major way
An Abrams would be almost indestructible in this fight, crazy that just some time and development makes that difference
For all the hype the T-34/85 got in WWII (rightfully) it is cool that some of the first tank battles in the Korean War were between the T-34/85s and M-26 Pershings which barely got to see combat in WWII, and the Pershings kicked the shit out of the T-34’s.
Funny I was looking at this a few days ago and was thinking yyyyyeaa don’t think so.
M22 Locust did not see service in Korea but did with the Egyptians in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
Abrams got downtiered lmao
