M2轻型坦克 - 照片和视频

这 M2轻型坦克, officially Light Tank, M2, was an American pre–World War II light tank which saw limited use during World War II. The most common model, the M2A4, was equipped with one 37 mm (1.5 in) M5 gun and five .30 cal M1919 Browning machine guns. It was originally developed from the prototype T2 light tank built by Rock Island Arsenal, which had a Vickers-type leaf spring suspension. The suspension was replaced by the superior vertical volute system in the T2E1 series of 1935. This was put into production with minor modifications as the M2A1 in 1936, with ten produced. The main pre-war version was the M2A2, with 239 produced, becoming the main tank in the US Army infantry units in the interwar period. The Spanish Civil War showed that tanks armed only with machine guns were ineffective. This led to the M2A4 with a 37 mm gun as the main armament. A total of 375 were delivered, the last ten as late as April 1942.

这 M2轻型坦克 是美国二战前的轻型坦克，由 Rock Island Arsenal 于 1930 年代中期开发。它基于 T2E1 原型，具有维克斯型板簧悬架。M2 轻型坦克有多种变体，但最常见的是 M2A4，它有一门 37 毫米 M5 火炮和五挺 .30 cal M1919 勃朗宁机枪作为武器。
M2轻型坦克在二战期间的使用有限，主要是由美国海军陆战队在太平洋战区，特别是在瓜达尔卡纳尔岛。M2轻型坦克很快被更先进的M3斯图尔特轻型坦克所取代，后者具有更好的装甲和机动性。
