This Weapon Changed The Course Of War

The humble tank has been terrorizing battlefields ever since the early days of the First
World War but its invention is credited 500 years earlier to Leonardo Da Vinci with his UFO-
looking fighting vehicle. Tanks have always been designed as a portable, armoured fortress
– capable of both absorbing punishing amounts of damage while returning fire over a
variety of difficult terrain. They’ve proven to be a decisive edge in trench warfare, urban
assaults and other land-based operations; capable of obliterating enemy positions and
providing cover for advancing infantry.

So, it makes sense that militaries around the world would seek to develop effective anti-
tank weapons to level the playing field. Everything from armour-piercing artillery to smart
explosives, all the way to laser sat-guided missile-strike systems, we get both creative and
calculated when it comes to taking down a tank! Interested yet?
