tank design

I found these two pictures at this link：https://vk.com/photo-166534011_457246378. According to the description, this is another STT project, and I think it is also one of Ed Francis' discoveries. However, I found no information about this elsewhere on the internet. I would have liked to wait and...

Hi all. I'm looking for information about unsold tanks from Germany from the 50s to the 70s (maybe some MBTs, interesting versions of the Europanzer program tanks or prototypes of the Leopard 1?) If you know interesting vehicles from this period, please send them here!!! Thanks in advance!!!

This was inspired by the "design your own CAS aircraft" thread. I am interested to know what the bright minds of this forum think a tank should prioritise and what path the tank should evolve down. Tanks seem to be facing less directional threats as mines attack the base, ATGMS the top, and...

Hello, I agree with the arguments put forward as to why claims about the 'death of the tank' are, once again, unreasonable. However, life is clearly getting harder for tanks: - The overall PHit/Pk of anti-tank missile systems have increased dramatically, flight times have reduced, and they...

A Swedish modeler named Björn Bäcklund ( https://baecklund.eu/scalemodels/ex72/modern.html ) created this 1:72 scale model of a hybrid Polish main battle tank combining the hull of a T-72 with the turret of a Leopard 2. Bäcklund created the model back when Poland had recently joined NATO in...

So I have been looking at various late cold war tank projects (abrams block 3, Panzerkampfwagen 2000 ect) and one thing that keeps popping up but which i can not find any information about is the mbt-90 program, aperintly Germany figured 3ed times a charm (after mbt-70 with the US and mbt-80...

My friend said that during the first two decades of the early Cold War. The British STT has designed a series of very distinctive blueprint tanks and a small number of prototype vehicles actually built. These new tanks used to meet the needs of the new era of warfare and against the Soviets...

A dictionary sized reference book on tanks and other armoured vehicles, the Taschenbuch der Panzer has been re-issued in various forms over the years. The most recent edition (8. Ausgabe) appeared back in 2001. A 9th edition was supposed to appear in 2018 but so far seems to have fallen victim...

RM released this late last year. MGCS=Main ground combat system= the supposed Leo III MBT.

The Vickers Valiant turret was redesigned to incorporate the L11 120mm tank gun. This design came to being in 1982. Weights did change, i have no information on the weight of this tank. In 1985, in an effort to sell tanks to Eygpt the german leopard-2 chasis was matched with the...

vickers developed the Vickers Mk-1 MBT as a private venture - a lighter and cheaper alternative to the Chieftain. It was eventually adopted by India - being named Vijayanta (victory) were production commenced in 1965. Mk-1 38,600kg combat weight, Leyland L60 650bhp engine, 105mm main gun and...

I read on whatifmodelers forum (I think from an uk75 post) that there were some studies for nuclear powered tanks in the US in the 50's. I would like to learn more about this designs and see drawings if it is possible ::)
