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...

G'day folks, I am trying to find good reference material on the following gun systems. RO QF 17 pounder RO QF 20 pounder Rarde EXP 7 to 28 110mm I have a sort of project to convert a Centurion tank (Card/Paper) to various types/marks and possibly produce a Chieftain with the 110mms as an...

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...

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LRdmSgUDaQ Looks like the requirement was for a heavily protected defence orientated tank, employing ambush tactics (similar in a number of respects to the S-Tank), for use by the British Army On the Rhine (BAOR). IIRC, default NATO strategy in the event...

An interesting site covering various unbuilt armoured vehicle projects https://armouredarchives.com/

How many countries converted turreted tanks to Armoured Personnel Carriers? We know about the Canadian "Kangaroos" made from de-frocked M7 Priests and Ram tanks during the summer of 1944. Many Rams were also converted to "Wombat" ammo carriers. Post WW2, Sweden converted a Czech 38T light tanks...

Hello everyone. Today I wanted to share one of Japan's heavy tanks, the Aichi 96. Designed sometime after the Type95 heavy tank, Japan delved into producing new tanks in an attempt to fielding them across China. Multiple companies are listed to have taken part. This tank had at least unit built...

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...

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?

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

At present it looks unlikely if the Army will need a Challenger 2 replacement for the foreseeable future. I got into hot water for suggesting that when and if we ever did, we should take a leaf out of the Australian or Canadian book and buy off the shelf. What options are out there? What would...
