The M-51 was a medium tank developed on the M4 Sherman chassis for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to support the M-50s with a more powerful gun.
It was used in the Arab-Israeli conflicts of the Six-Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and later in the Lebanese Civil War between 1975 and 2000. It was also used by Chile, which used it until 2006, making the M-50 and M-51 the second longest-lived Sherman-hulled vehicles in the world.

Easily the coolest Sherman variant of all time.
clearly you haven't seen the SO-122 Sherman ;)
@@colbyuetake130 Ah yes the funny slavic sherman with a 122 mm gun
Yep
Well. For me Sherman Easy Eight & Sherman Jumbo are cool enough. But this.. is resourceful. I love how Israel still used their Sherman for 1960s battlefield by turning them into a tank destroyer.
I have been to the wreck of one of these in the Sinai, still used as a landmark.
If I'm correct that was your first sponsorship? Good for you it should help your channel out 🤜🤛
3:38 That gun...it's barrel is longer than the whole tank.
reminds me when i saw a midget with a 10 incher
This makes me smile every time I see a M51. A real life cartoon.
But an effective cartoon
And combat proven one as well
Sherman Firefly: It’s so ******* big.
shermans were better tanks then they get credit for , in korea they made t34's look like a joke.
I may be very late but the gun is amazing! However your armor is paper thin but the gun can truly pack a punch!
400mm pen at any distance!
This and the so-122 are the coolest shermans in my opinion
American tanks at the start of WW2 - Americans are crazy mounting that many machine guns....Israel upgrades American tanks with lots of machine guns - firepower greatly improved!
15:17 I wear my comfy shoes.
Even in the tank. :D :D
Great video! This also tempts me to play Armored Warfare again. I haven't played in a few years. Too bad they don't have a way for players to indicate they returned to the game because of your channel.
was a cool game for a while and I had some decent fun when not in PVP. I prefered PVE but it must be totally unrecognizable now
I remember seeing these being called the "Isherman"
Nice video I love the look of this tank
This is not even the pinacle of Sherman's potential. There's the APFSDS firing M-60 Sherman.
Just to show how versatile the Sherman tank is
whats happened to your mic? recording in the Bob Semple?
Tbfh idfk, I had to speed up the sponsored part tho cuz he was too slow lol
Good video bro ;)
U.S.A. Captured one in First Gulf War, it’s being restored in one of the military bases museum
Great video and God y'all got a sponsor. Lol to bad I already play armored warfare. But still I hope alot of your viewers use the code to join. It's a fun game.
Awsome video! Just wanted to say that the m-51 being shown in the gameplay footage seems to be using a cast hull M4A4 hull, due to the road wheel spacing. It was just really bugging me for some reason so wanted to let y’all know
Awesome
The Continental 1790-AV was not a radial engine. Air cooled yes. V-configuration yes.
A = air cooled
V = V for V configuration like V8 or V12. R would be used for a radial engine like a R-2800 in a P-47 Thunderbolt or F6F Hellcat.
D = Diesel fueled
S = Supercharged
1790 = cubic inches.
I really like the practicality of this kind of nomenclature. So much information compressed down to just a few numbers and letters.
The prettiest tank ever
Cool to see you guys getting sponsorships
Super Sherman
The US DID send M47s to Jordan, however, and Iran, but not Israel
I was around when this vehicle was a "thing". In certain AFV circles it was known as the "Super Sherman" and in others as the "Train/Locomotive Buster". With the British 105mm it was very often utilized as a "mobile bunker" with hull down positions being the much preferred utilization of this tank.
Never had a British 105.
@@TanksEncyclopediaYT Hey, bro Can you check your e-mail? thank you.
@The Expat Dodo Ahhhh....Poor little "if it don't come Wikiwhatever it can't possibly be true" thing.....You would have to have been around, and an adult, back then. You know, like I was.
I also thought they used the French 105 instead of the L7 ... But given the weapons stop from both France and GB, could it have been the US M68 instead (which is the US licence 105 L7) ?
@@ottovonbismarck2443 Not impossible at all though the ones I had the occasion to examine in 1981 (in a reserve storage area) all mounted the British OR French 105mm Main Guns. The thing that made the "Super Sherman" tanks that I crawled around in stand out from any other variants I had/have ever seen (to this day) were the much modified/improved turrets. By the way, and please understand I have yet to see one with my own eyes, allegedly a few 105mm main guns (along with extra gun tubes and other parts) were purchased from what was then West Germany. I suspect that IF such a purchase or purchases was/were made the weapons in question would have been mounted on some of the M48s that were "donated" by the U.S.A.. All I can attest to, because I was around back then, was that like the British and French, the German government was not happy about such purchases by the IDF via second and/or third parties.
With British 105mm it became known as the "Super Sherman" and/or the "Train/Locomotive Killer".
It never had a British 105 mm. The IDF never called it Super Sherman.
@@TanksEncyclopediaYT I never fail to be amazed at how certain historical events or things are forgotten, classified, or rewritten. Having seen the British gun, with my own eyes, mounted on/in as I said before, an in house/in country modified Sherman turret. The British gun in 105mm was a Soviet tank killer and was used in hull down positions as a TD, not to mention train/locomotive killer, in both wars. "Super Sherman" was never an official name for the 105mm equipped tank but WAS used by many IDF crewman well into the 1970s when far more modern tanks/AFVs entered service with the IDF. By the way, I was on site when the First Generation M1 Abrams was rejected (for various reasons that were corrected, for the most part, by the First Gulf War) by the IDF in favor of other, then somewhat superior MBTs were tested under combat conditions. Nothing like stepping off a big silver bird and seeing a certain foreign flag flying....And thinking "Ahhhh....Son of a....!!!! Damn it!!!!"
Well, if you have any sources on that, we'd god damn love to see them! We've never heard of such a thing and are pretty sure that isn't quite possible. :D
@The Expat Dodo Ah yes, yet another doubter. The French 105mm was the FIRST 105mm installed while the British 105mm came along somewhat later but served it's time in a much modified turret. It was BOTH guns, many of the tanks, and ammo for BOTH guns that lead to the British AND French placing embargos on the IDF mainly due to a, justifiable, fear of having the Ye Old Oil Tap turned off at it's source. It was those embargos that ultimately lead to "emergency" shipments (mainly by air but by sea as well) of tanks (mainly M48A3s and M60A1s), tons of ammo for their main guns as well as towed and self propelled artillery pieces, not to mention smaller weapons such as MGs (w/ammo and spare parts) and mortars (w/ammo and spare parts). Both the Johnson and Nixon administrations approved those shipments and ordered the deliveries via military aircraft and supply ships. By the way, it was thanks to high altitude photos take during SR-71 overflights of the region that "triggered" the emergency deliveries. Ironically it was phots taken by SR-71s that caught both sides out in lies about just where their troops/tanks/and aircraft were when the shooting officially ended.
Super Sherman is the best description and name for the M-51
Also where is that link for armored warfare?
Added it, apologies
@@TanksEncyclopediaYT it's fine just wanted to use your link to try the game because I already planned to test it
Armored warfare still a thing?
Was a beta tester back in the day. Last time I tried it the game was completely dead.
@@johannesr1046 I was from Alpha, I used to play all the time but when Obsidian left I kinda left too. I check back every year or so usually and it’s gotten a bit more life recently compared to 2018 through 2020. I played yesterday and my queue times in glops were almost half of the last time I played
Not as cool as the Yugoslav Sherman but still pretty cool
The M-51 always made me think of a sort of American based IS-3
👍👍👏
Did the israelis ever tryed to buy french MBTs?
If you were saying Cummins it’s pronounced like this.. come in’s

The Israelian Sherman
Dude, ypu forgot the last part of the history, most of them were sold to chile:/
The Lebanese civil ended in 1990
Why is your article titled “part 1?” Sounded like you crammed most of the information into this video. What could be left to make a part 2? Unless you start reading portions from the M51 Maintanance Manual.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing, this is excellent video. Thank you....
Sorpresa.
They just released Part 2, its 40 minutes long XD
"Cummins", NOT "Coomins".
Its pronounced come-ins
Idk how he messed that up.
Wonder how these would do against T-54s/T-55s....
shooting HEAT probably ok
@@mikepette4422 good point.
@@mikepette4422 T-55 does have a stabiliser, so maybe it will come out on top in a manoeuvring scenario.
Normally your videos are very good and informative. If this virtual wargame is any indication your site is seriously flawed No chance in hell that one M51 destroys dozens of enemy tanks , this is still effectively the Sherman the name Ronson ring any bells this isn't an impregnable tank not then not now .It's why it was replaced , get real and stop your revisionist virtual wargame garbage. Who do you or the sponsored platform think you are fooling.
Are you pissed with his sponsorship?
Wow, a sweet summer child who doesn't get that the Ronson nickname was a myth, that Shermans had a much higher level of crew survivability than other tanks of the era, and that Shermans had equal levels of protection to heavy tanks of its time due to armor sloping. Who do you think you're trying to fool?
During WW2 and well before the Ronson moniker was applied to Shermans (because the "Lights first time every time" Wasn't used by Ronson until the 1950s) American troops were using Zippo lighters. In other words, the Ronson thing is a MYTH!
Also, the WW2 Sherman didn't burn any worse than most other tanks on t he battlefields and you had a much better chance of getting out of a Sherman than you did in most other tanks.
The one thing that I found really amusing about this video was the very high speed the gaming Sherman was moving at.
I can't believe that a tank encyclopaedia viewer has negative eyeque
