The Famous Misadventures of the Sheridan Light Tank
The Sheridan’s greatest shortcoming in the field lay in survivability, as is usually the case with light tanks.
Here’s What You Need to Remember: The tank has often forgotten but it served well in several conflicts. Here is how it managed to do its job despite many technical issues.
The M551 Sheridan light tank is largely remembered as a curiosity, an innovative weapon system that proved an overcomplicated failure in action. However, several hundred Sheridans provided useful service in three wars, and left behind a small but noticeable gap in the force structure since being withdrawn in the 1990s that the Army has struggled to fill. That’s because the Sheridan was easily transported by air and could even be dropped by parachute.
