The M50 Ontos is a distinctive, lightweight, tracked anti-tank vehicle developed by the United States in the 1950s. Equipped with six 105mm recoilless rifles, it was designed to deliver exceptional firepower against enemy armor while maintaining a small profile for increased mobility. The Ontos was primarily used for close support in ground combat and was deployed in the Vietnam War, though it lacked significant armor protection, making it vulnerable to enemy fire. Its small size, high mobility, and firepower made it effective in certain tactical situations, though it was eventually phased out in favor of more modern weapons systems.
