A M41 Walker Bulldog of the ARVN during the early 1970s. This Cold War-era tank replaced the M24 in South Vietnamese service, as it had in the US Army years previous.
About the tanks:Came to know these are Sherman M type of tanks (mostly Duplex Drive, better known as DD), manufactured during 1944. Many key parts (gun mounts, periscopes etc) are missing from this. Only the structure is intact.https://www.militaryfactory.com/armo...p?armor_id=911Why these are here?:As per the locals, these are part of 1961 Operation Vijay, war against Portuguese to liberate Goa. May be during the war or after the war they are damaged, could not find a further shelter and lying here ever since.Some Photos:
