G'day Mate Don't know much about the Armata I am afraid, in fact, I don't think anyone beside the people who build them know what's inside an Armata, we can guess how good it is or how bad it is but I don't think I can find a way to compare the Armata to other Modern Main Battle Tank like the...

G'day In my opinion, Armata is a mark for make or break to the Russian arms industry. The concept of putting all the role in one chassis would meant the log pack be put to the minimum and the decrease the need to the log train pipeline. Currently a US Abrams would require 2 scheduled log packs...

G'day Aussie M1A1 MBT Survivability The Abrams tank is fitted with advanced composite armour, which provides substantial defence against enemy fire and Improvised Explosive Devices. Fuel and ammunition reside in separate compartments to protect the crew from the risk of the tank's own...

G'day Mate Tanks is just one single part (Though the most important part) of Armoured Warfare, with it also goes APC, IFV and Self Propelled Howitzer. Also, for tankers, we don't generally use formation other than Line and Column, tank is very hard to drive, although it is an automatic, not a...

G'Day Mate Very Informative Article, very historical point of view but few things i wanted to point out. 1.) It wasn't just Infantry/Artillery/Air Power anymore. Modern Doctrine are now including Air Defence. As you mentioned, the reason why Israel was losing the first half of the Yom Kippur...
