In 1928, the rear of the tank was modified to strengthen it. [3] At the same time, a new design of brake-block was fitted. [3] The transmission was also heavily reworked. [5] The tank was the subject of industrial and political espionage, the plans ending up in the Soviet Union, where they may have influenced the design of the T-28 and T-35 tanks.
Leclerc Evolution is a French prototype of the enhanced fourth-generation main battle tank (MBT) developed and manufactured by the KNDS France. The project was presented during the Eurosatory 2024. [ 1 ]
The Vickers Main Battle Tank Mark 7 was a main battle tank developed on the basis of a joint venture between Vickers Defence Systems in the United Kingdom and Krauss-Maffei of Germany. It combined the Leopard 2 chassis with the Universal Turret previously developed for the Vickers Valiant main battle tank.
Louis Renault himself conceived the new tank's overall design and set its basic specifications. He imposed a 7-ton limit to the FT's projected weight. Renault was unconvinced that a sufficient power-to-weight ratio could be achieved with the production engines available at the time to give sufficient mobility to the heavy tank types requested ...
The tank could place demolition charges at heights up to 12 feet. The tank was driven against a wall, and the framework was lowered into the ground against the wall. The tank then backed up 100 feet, laying out an electric detonating cable. The explosives were then detonated by the tank driver. It was the successor to the single-charge device ...
However in the documentary "Da Vinci's Machines" (2009), a team of engineers and craftsmen undertook the challenge of reconstructing Leonardo da Vinci's design for an armored vehicle, commonly referred to as his tank, the successful operation and movement of the tank by fixing the purposely placed design flaw with the gearing not only validated ...
According to the French-German state research Institute of Saint-Louis (ISL), MGCS is to result in a future land warfare system which may include uncrewed, including autonomous ground and aerial vehicles, and crewed assets in the light, medium or heavy weight class as well as associated weaponry.
The lower tanks are connected to these ballast tanks by non-return valves. The United States Coast Guard does not allow this design to enter US waters, effectively preventing it from being built. [citation needed] When a lower tank is damaged, the incoming sea water pushes the oil in the damaged tank up into the ballast tank.
