Takom TAK2160 M247 SERGEANT YORK 1:35

The M247 Sergeant York is a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that began development in the late 1970s as a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun to replace the M163 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun in the United States.

- The US Army witnessed the success of the Soviet ZSU-23-4 Shilka in the 4th Middle East War in 1973. I started research.

- In response to the request of the US Army, several companies, including Ford Aerospace, submitted a basic plan for DIVAD using the M48A3 tank as the body, and finally the US Army, General Dynamics and Ford Aerospace and a prototype vehicle signed a production contract.

- After testing both companies' prototypes, the U.S. Army adopted the Ford Aerospace prototype under the formal designation M247 and gave it the nickname [Sergeant York].

- After that, the M247 continued to be tested, but in the 1990s, the need for an anti-aircraft tank itself was questioned within the US Army, and although nearly 50 M247s had been completed, However, it did not reach the point where it was deployed.
