Fictional Firepower | Medium Tank M3 ‘Lancer’ (fake tank)

Here at Tank Encyclopedia, we delve into the stories of significant and intriguing armored vehicles throughout history. While our primary focus remains on real-world fighting vehicles, we don’t shy away from exploring fake or hypothetical ones, whether they arose as "what-ifs," video game vehicles, jokes, or deliberate misinformation. At times, we even make videos about them.
In this video, we examine an unusual M3 Medium Tank exhibited at the Army Museum in Lahore, Pakistan. displayed at the Army Museum in Lahore, Pakistan. This vehicle stands out for two reasons: the absence of its original turret and the addition of a long 17-pounder (7.62 cm) gun, typically associated with the British Sherman Firefly.
