About the Book
The modern battlefield is a lethal symphony of sensors, steel, and software. From the iconic Main Battle Tanks of 18 nations to the emerging, silent threat of Robotic Combat Vehicles (RCVs), Modern Armor pulls back the hatch on the machines that define land warfare today.
This is more than a technical manual; it is a human-centric exploration of how crews operate, survive, and fight within these complex systems. Through a comprehensive survey of 115 vehicles—including “battle taxis,” electronic warfare units, and self-propelled artillery—this book examines the developmental history and life-and-death challenges of the men and women who command them. Whether analyzing an MBT’s armor profile or the tactical role of a light utility vehicle, this visual survey provides an essential roadmap for understanding the landscape of the next war.
