About this vehicle

Throughout its service from 1957 through 1974, the M103 was modernized several times. In the late 1960s, the possibility of mounting a 110 mm rifled gun with high ballistic performance was developed. But the project went no further than theoretical work, since the modernization was considered impractical.
