Its upgrade potential ensured that the M48 Patton battle tank remained in service from the mid 1950s onwards. Not only in the US but also in the German army it formed the backbone of the armoured artillery for many long years, until it would later be equipped with a 105 mm cannon (M48 A2GA2) even after the Leopard 2 had been built. It would be difficult to imagine the wars between the Arabs and the Israelis without it. In the latest A5 version it was at least equal to its successor the M60.
