LIMITED EDITION.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fifteen years after the Second World War saw the technology of tank design advance\u003cbr\u003eby leaps and bounds, resulting in the concept of the Main Battle Tank (MBT). This book by\u003cbr\u003eMP Robinson and Dick Taylor examines the history of the first western Main Battle Tanks\u003cbr\u003edesigned in that period. The discussion of these weapons in the context of the 1960-1975\u003cbr\u003eperiod includes the evolution of successful and unsuccessful designs. The tank and MBT\u003cbr\u003edevelopment programs pursued by the United States and its NATO allies, as well as by\u003cbr\u003eneutral Switzerland and Sweden are documented and described in detail. The emergence of\u003cbr\u003e105mm and larger guns capable of being mounted in tanks in the 30-55 ton range became\u003cbr\u003ea catalyst for the disappearance of the old Medium and Heavy tank classifications- and for\u003cbr\u003eeven more ambitious developments following the Yom Kippur War of 1973. Each army's\u003cbr\u003einterpretation of these advances and the contrasts in Western MBT design priorities are\u003cbr\u003eexamined in hundreds of photos and colour profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"AK-Interactive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48023302111402,"sku":"127497","price":43.23,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3432\/6698\/files\/127497-the-age-of-the-mainbattle-tank-ak130014-1.webp?v=1783206832","url":"https:\/\/tabletop-depot.de\/products\/the-age-of-the-mainbattle-tank","provider":"Tabletop Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
