M56 Tank Destroyer Defends Freedom


It is often said that the strongest prevail. Evidence of the concept locally in 42N country is hardware of the Vietnam War era. The US Army's M56 tank destroyer was built to accompany airborne troops in the battlefield. As a self-propelled artillery canon the Scorpion (M56's nickname) provided a platform to essentially shoot up tanks.
