Summary

Description

Tanque medio M-47 General Patton, con cañón de 90 mm. Empezó a fabricarse en Estados Unidos en 1951, construyéndose 8.576 unidades. El Ejército Español recibió sus 13 unidades iniciales el 12 de febrero de 1954, llegando a operar 495 tanques de este tipo. Entre 1975 y 1980 329 tanques fueron modernizados a la versión M-47E1 y 46 a la versión M-47E2. En España se hicieron famosos porque fueron los tanques que el general Jaime Milans del Bosch sacó a las calles de Valencia durante el intento de golpe de Estado del 23 de febrero de 1981. En 1990 se inició la sustitución de los M-47 aún activos -muchos de ellos serían desguazados- por tanques M-60. En el museo de El Goloso se conservan dos M-47. Uno de ellos -el situado junto a la capilla de La Purísima- todavía funciona, y luce los emblemas del Regimiento de Caballería Ligero Acorazado "Lusitania" nº 8.
