Light tanks and heavily armed combat vehicles are part of the Armored
Fighting Vehicle family. These armored vehicles, widespread throughout
the world, can accomplish a number of different missions. They are
simple in their utilization and are extremely polyvalent. This book
regroups, for the first time, all light tanks and heavy weapons
vehicles, with chains or wheels, from the world over and their many
modernizations and modifications along with the technical
characteristics of each and every model.
Enriched with more than 350 photos, clear and methodic, it reveals the
history of each vehicle along with precise dates and a time-table
showing when they were put into service. Dimensions are indicated in a
practical and visual manner. This handbook allows the precise
identification of a light tank and a heavily armed combat vehicle, from
an image, even partial. A series of four tests will allow you to
evaluate your current level and improve your knowledge on the matter.
Regrouping all these qualities, this manual is an indispensable tool for
the armed forces and everyone that has a passion for armored vehicles
and military history.
This book was realized by a specialist in the field of identification in
collaboration with manufacturers and armed forces. It is the fourth
volume in a series of books on military material, the first volumes of
which are entitled "Main Battle Tanks", "Infantry Fighting Vehicles",
and "Wheeled 8x8 Armored Fighting Vehicles".
