Hi everyone, I've dipped my toe into a topic that I previously new next to nothing about and still find myself woefully under-equipped for. Long story short, I'm trying to determine which tanks had thermal imaging sights prior to the Persian Gulf War. Please correct my errors (I'll edit this...

I ran across this website that I frustratingly can't find anymore it gave info on the various attempts to up gun the sherman tank and also had a little info on a radically redesigned sherman tank that moved its gear box beneath the tank allowing the turret to be set further back and reducing the...

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. Cuz I have never read any materials about the development of early British gas turbines for ground vehicles. Anyone knows something about...

I found this in a 1990s 'Yellow Peril (Japan)' techno-thriller called 'The War in 2020' (1991), the book ends with a note indicating that the writing of it was finished in April of 1990. It features this tank which I am guessing was based on the reports of these tanks in the west. Here are the...

As we know the Russians managed to standardise their tanks forces in the 60s and 70s on two designs: The T55 and later the T72. What tank should NATO have chosen if politics had been no object?

They updated it with an all-new cannon, gave it the commander's independent sight concept developed elsewhere, added ridiculously-priced electronics in general and then benefited from their government sending troops with such tanks against marginally competent Third World armies that used monkey...
