By 1920 the Red Army of Russia fielded an overwhelming array of armored cars, armored trains and tank detachments.These armored units played an important part in consolidating the newly won Bolshevik empire in the early 1920s; as a consequence of the fact that railways were the strategic arteries that essentially controlled Russia, armored trains have never played such a significant role in military history as they did in the Russian Civil War.This book details the management, construction, repair, personnel, training and combat of the Red Army''s armored units on all fronts, including such famous vehicles as Trotsky''s armored train.

Named after Klimenti Voroshilov, the People''s Commissar for Defence, the KVs proved a nasty surprise for German tank crews during the early days of Operation Barbarossa.Although slow, they were extremely heavily armoured. This compact, detailed guide examines the transition from multi-turreted tanks to heavy single-turret vehicles, consisting of the KV-1 and 2, and the increased favour given to the heavy single-turret after the Germans began to develop ammunition capable of penetrating even the thickest armour, whilst detailing the design, development and operational history of the Soviet Union''s monstrous KV series of tanks.

The T-34 was the most influential tank design of World War 2. When first introduced into combat in the summer of 1941, it represented a revolutionary leap forward in tank design.Its firepower, armour protection and mobility were superior to that of any other medium tank of the period. This superiority did not last long. While the T-34 underwent a series of incremental improvements during 1943, it was being surpassed by new German tank designs, most notably the Panther.This compact, illustrated guide traces the life of the original T-34 through all its difficulties to eventual success.

The successor to the Chieftain from the 1960''s, work began in 1976 on development of a new MBT specifically for the Iranian army, who needed a more capable tank than the Chieftain to suit their climatic and geographical conditions. However, once the revolution occurred in 1979 the British army was reluctantly forced to accept this new design themselves. Once in service there were technical problems resulting in various modifications. However, the Challenger would go on to great success in the Gulf War, playing crucial roles in both Desert Storm and Desert Sabre operations. In this book, Simon Dunstan examines this tank in detail, evaluating its performance both on the test range and in the field of battle.

The M4 Sherman tank was the mainstay of the Western allies between 1942 and 1945. Fast and modern it was better than most of the tanks Britain had to offer. The American Chief of Staff claimed in November 1943 that it had been hailed widely as ''the best tank on the battlefield today''. However, by the time of the Normandy invasion of June 1944 this was not the case. The new heavy tanks being produced by the Germans were able to outclass the Sherman in both armour and armament. This title describes the development and operational use of the Sherman medium tank throughout World War II and beyond.

The Iosef Stalin tanks were the ultimate heavy tanks developed by the Soviet Union and were popularly called ''Victory tanks'' due to their close association with the defeat of Germany in 1945.Yet in spite of their reputation, the Stalin tanks emerged from a troubled design, had a brief moment of glory in 1944 and 1945, and disappeared in ignominy after 1960. This book covers the events contributing to the Soviet Union''s need to design the new series, with particular reference to the unsuccessful KV series and the advent of a new generation of heavy German tanks including the Tiger.Alongside illustrations throughout, Steven J. Zaloga covers their development, operational history and myriad variants.

The Covenanter (which never saw active service) and Crusader Cruiser tanks were developed between 1939 and 1940.The Crusader first saw action in the North African desert in June 1941: its speed and sleek design made it a hard target to hit, and the tank was well-respected by the Afrikakorps for its velocity in combat. But its hurried development prior to World War II also made it prone to mechanical failure.This book examines the Covenanter and the many variants of the Crusader tank, detailing the designs, developments and disappointments of these infamous World War II tanks.

For most of World War II, British tank development remained faithful to the design philosophy inaugurated during World War I.Experiences in North Africa highlighted flaws in this basic design, however, and the General Staff identified the need for a new heavy cruiser that could combine speed and manoeuvrability with increased armour and armament. The Cromwell Cruiser tank was designed as a result and soon proved itself one of the fastest and most successful tanks deployed by the Allies during World War II.This book details the design and development of the Cromwell and its many variants, from its introduction at D-Day, through its many successes in the final year of World War II and beyond.

The Matilda was the principal British infantry tank in the early years of World War II. It served with the BEF in France and later in North Africa, where it earned the title ''Queen of the Desert''.Outclassed by increasingly powerful German anti-tank weapons, it still remained a power in the South-East Pacific, and was kept in service until the end of the war by Australian forces. In this book, David Fletcher deals with Marks I to V. Development and operational history are discussed, along with service in other countries, including Germany and Russia.Numerous variants are also covered, including the prototype ''Hedgehog'' bunker-busting weapon.

Development of the Leopard 1 can be traced back to November 1956, when the operational requirement for a new battle tank was formulated by the Federal German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr).Originally a Franco-German project, the tank under design was named the ''Standard-Panzer''. The French later dropped out, however, and on 1 October 1963 the ''Standard'' tank was officially named ''Leopard'', an appropriate choice considering Germany''s wartime pedigree with the formidable Tiger and Panther.This book traces the development and service record of the Leopard 1, detailing its control systems, modifications and variants.
