    Some thought about "Japanese Heavy Tanks"

    You may read some info from Maiwaffentrager's blog or somewhere else, which I seriously doubt any credibility. I would assume that these names show some certain design features, rather than factory names, I'll explain now. What Maiwftrgr. said Ai-96, Mitsu-97, Mitsu-104, Ishi-108, have names to...

    Early British Gas Turbine for AFVs

    It seems that CA Parsons suddenly constructed gas turbines in 1954 for Conqueror prototype P.7 07BA70 and made it the first AFV to have a gas turbine engine.

    British Post WWII AFV series 200: Conqueror Heavy MBT and family

    The FV-215 looks like a very heavy gun tank version of the FV-200 family. The British planned to build a range of AFVs with a common chassis, suspension and drive train as the FV-200 series "universal tank". However in the end only the 120mm gun armed FV-214 Conqueror and FV-222 ARV were built.
