The United States military has been using tanks for over a century now. In that time, they have developed quite a few unique designs.
Many tanks used in the D-Day Invasion were based on the chassis of the British Churchill and the American Sherman. Here are some of them.
Before the fool-proof tank designs we have today, engineers and designers experimented with different ideas and concepts. Some of them were rather… interesting.
Had Panzer VIII Maus’s production started a few years earlier it could have changed the landscape of the war.
Moscow has reported that Russian Ground Forces (RGF) expect to receive the first dozen advanced T-14 Armata tanks as soon as next month or as late as early 2020. Unlike many of Russia’s new weapons systems that tend to offer more bark than bite, defense experts around the world are fairly certain that the T-14 […]
The U.S. Army has long been on the market for an unmanned combat vehicle that can approach ground fighting in a similar fashion to how airborne drones have revolutionized air superiority. That is to say that the Army isn’t looking for thinking Terminator drones that can make life or death decisions on their own, but […]
For a time, it seemed Russia was steaming toward fielding real fifth-generation stealth fighters, a development with serious security implications, based on the nation’s aggressive posture toward NATO and America’s reliance on air power in its style of warfare. As time wore on, however, cracks in Russia’s advanced fighter program began to show, culminating in […]

While Russia’s new T-14 Armata main battle tank is widely seen as an extremely capable armored platform, budgetary restrictions have severely limited Moscow’s ability to purchase them in enough numbers to serve any real strategic purpose. If a conflict were to ignite between Russia and NATO forces in Europe, it would really be columns of […]
Here in the U.S., we tend to only see large armored vehicles like tanks parked at local National Guard installations. They resemble large metal works of art, rather than the mighty war machines they truly are. Even if you happen to spot a tank scooting around the Motor T lot, the chances you’ll see one […]
Russia recently announced that they would be halting production on their latest and most technologically advanced main battle tank, the T-14 Armata, in favor of lower cost programs like updating their existing fleet of T-72 tanks. The problem with the T-14, like the nation’s stealthy fifth-generation fighter, the Su-57, isn’t that the platform doesn’t seem […]
Russia’s T-14 Armata battle tank has been touted for years as one of the most advanced platforms in the world. A significant departure from traditional Russian tank designs, the T-14 was purpose built for the modern Russian professional military, placing a much higher emphasis on crew survivability and defensive systems than any previous Kremlin effort.
