Tanks, Vehicles & Artillery
Land-based warfare is still the oldest form of warfare known to man - now made more lethal.

4-Wheeled
In a day of armored tracked carriers, there is still a need for wheeled vehicles built for rugged speed on flat or uneven terrain. This listing covers armored 4-wheeled military service vehicles.

6-Wheeled
More wheels equals better hauling capability and handling on uneven terrain. This listing of armored 6-wheeled military service vehicles showcases the developments from World War 2 to today's MRAPS.

8-Wheeled
8-wheeled armored vehicles are becoming evermore so a need on the modern battlefield with each new development handling consistently more potent weaponry and gear. Listing of 8-wheeled military vehicles.

Anti-Aircraft Systems
Of all military components on the battlefield, the ground forces are most susceptible to endangering their mission if not properly protected from air attack. Mobile anti-aircraft elements are supplied for just that.

Anti-Tank Systems
The threat of the main battle tank has not diminished since the advent of tank-killing machines. As such, the need for evermore advanced tank-killing systems is still apparent as these entries suggest.

APC Systems
Since the advent of the first "tank" in World War 1, the armored personnel carrier has seen a constant need on the modern battlefield. Even in today's world of high tech wizardry, your troops need a way to get there.

Light Tanks
When heavy tanks are too much and light vehicles not enough, enter the the light tank. These systems do away with cumbersome armor and heavy weaponry for the sake of speed and average-hitting firepower.

Main Battle Tanks
The cream of the battlefield crop is still king. Main battle tanks have become progressively more potent since the days of open Blitzkrieg in Europe. These fearsome units still make up the backbone of any army.

SPG Systems
When heavy-hitting firepower is needed, these forces supply their goods on call. Mobile platforms armed with large caliber weapons that can reach deep into the battlefield with devastating results.

Towed Artillery
Towed artillery has been a norm on the battlefield since ancient times though never executed to perfection until the arrival of Napoleon. Today, these systems still serve a potent and deadly-accurate role.

Tanks, Vehicles & Artillery:

The tank remains the King of the Modern Battlefield. The "tank" came into its own during World War 1, appearing in a variety of primitive forms. Designed initially to navigate the miles of trenches and obstacles and take on the dreaded machine gun emplacements along the Front, the tank was utilized in more of a supportive role. As experience began to dictate function, the tank was later used to spearhead offensives, breaking down the defenses and causing general havoc behind enemy lines. In the end, the tank became a permanent fixture of the battlefield evolving to the primary element of any successful campaign.

German use of specialized tactics in World War 2 would bring the use of armor to a whole new level, realizing the power inherent in a fast-moving and methodical army. Today, the tank still serves an important purpose though some believe that the system may have run its course thanks to the tank-killing systems available.

Nevertheless, the tank has left a tremendous imprint in history as an important addition to any war planner's arsenal.
