Description
The tank is one of the most fearsome machines in modern warfare. Its thick steel armour protects its occupants from small-arms fire, and its caterpillar tracks enable it to cross rough ground at speeds of over 45 kph. Most tanks have a high velocity gun mounted in a revolving turret, and several machine guns or cannon. They carry a crew of two to six men, depending on the number of guns.
The first tanks used by the British in the Battle of the Somme (1916), were clumsy and slow. many of them broke down before they reached the enemy lines. But from them grew the deadly fighting machines of today.
