What is a tank?

[Hellfire]

btr-80 kind of vehicles for the modern world eh?

Light tank. Yup. Amphibious role. It saw action in 1971.

I once saw a demo of Alkahlid submerged more than .5m /4 feet under water,with a snorkel ofc.
Marshy lands shouldn't be much of a problem for tracks vehicle.

Hmm.. sir I am not aware of technicalities. But what common sense dictates is that tanks should not be taken where there can not use their mobility. Be it built up areas or marshy terrains where they might bog down!

True. Absolutely agree.

I also saw footage of soviet meds possibly Chinese variants from 1971
Thanks for the second link

It's with preparation... for example he turret can't be rotated while under water which requires snorkels.

Hate APCR shells... rich kids be trolling armors.

talk about heat spammers!

On the way to Dhaka!

On the way to Dhaka!

In the coldest winter may be, not during infamous Bengali rainy season.

Even the Pakistani Foot soldiers didn't like to go outside of the camp during rainy season They were very vulnerable on boats.

Part of the reason Sam postponed the operations to December.

Rubber padded tracks wider track is not necessarily beneficial. Light tanks medium tanks and heavy tanks are classification of the past. Modern armor is light but provide adequate protection like heavies... like mentioned. MBT class of tanks however solve previous problems faced by tanks.


World of tank for a brief time. Now world of tanks blitz.

That is happening in places like Ganga delta and sundarbans... I don't see tank warfare happening there... but I think more on north west central and eastern parts of Bangladesh. South eastern is also not bad.

Those Pershing and Patton were in no way tanks with good terrain resistance

well rubber pads are only to make a smooth ride on hard ground like semi desert or mettelled /pakka roads than anything else

as for new breed of armour well they get it with three steps

1. sloping armour

2. sandwich of creamic plates and kevlar , very high density metals and glass fibre and plastic -carbon composites

3.active protection system like trophy and explosive reactor armor and by that even a 16 tonne tank even on wheeled chassis has better protection against diffrent kinds of ammonation maybe even better than legacy tanks like T72

so tank armour or rubber pads dont matter much if your tank dosent have better ground weight management techs like wider track in a delta nation like bangladesh rest keep speculating

Damn man, I don't understand why sloping armor is going absent on modern tanks... :/ maybe the composites have proved so much that maybe there is nothing to pen them... only time can tell eh!

Also didn't get approval from Indian parliament until Pakistan launched mortar attack on Pakistan India border.
Closing month of the war

thing is sloping armour worked till there was only steel armour and ammo tech was not that devloped but with new age ammo like shaped charge & sabbot or tandem shaped ammo the need was to have more than 6 -10 inches of armour
which was too heavy hence composite armour was developed and then came the next big step which israelies accedentally found in egypt war that a tank can be saved if it had live ammo in the tank itself hence they started working of explosive reactive armous and then they devloped active protection system which slowly made sloping steel armour obsolete and news is there are four diffrent types of new tanks in R&D in UK,germany , USA and israel that gonna have complete hull made of carbon composites and platics and snadwich type composite armour to make a MBT with protection level better than abrahams , leopards or challenger or merkava but at almost 1/3rd of there weight meaning a very leathel MBT with 20-25 tonne weight but all the protection and leathellity of heavy tanks like abrahams or leopards or merkawas

Science and tech... progression of mankind. Yeah I remember days when modern smoothbore and rifles started penetrating more than 1meter of high enriched stainless steel.

Do you play?

Yes,both!!!But I prefer armoured warfare cause latest weapons tanks but wot is world war era.Play with me!!!

This is called deep fording. Tanks are capable of shallow, Medium & deep fording. It takes time for a trained crew to prepare a tank for fording.

This is meant to get across water obstacles with defined entry & exits not swathes of water,

Two things are important - the tracks must get traction ( which rules out marshy bottoms) and should not have to turn as the crew is blind during deep fording.
