Tank Videos and Articles

In a newly released film with Brad Pitt, a Second World War Tiger 131 tank is being used. The tank was restored in a local museum for the actor Brad Pitt to use in the movie Fury. The tank is normally an exhibit at the museum, but is being used for this special occasion. The director of the museum said that the tank was one of the German weapons that the allies were most afraid of. It is said that the tank could take out another enemy tank from almost a mile away. "The tank was cleaned up so that the people could understand what a scary piece of equipment that this tank would have been during a fight", the curator said. "Finally the whole world will be able to see a real Tiger tank in a modern movie."
When taking a look at all the tanks that were produced during the second World War, putting together a list of the top ten is not easy. That being said, underneath is a list of the top ten that you should take a look at. These beasts were crucial for both sides during the War.
The Landkreuzer P. 1000 "Ratte" is a tank which came as an idea in 1942 by the German, Krupp. It was intended to be used during WWII with the agreement of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. In 1943 the project was trashed by Albert Speer, so the Ratte was never completed. The heaviest tank built was the Panzer VIII Maus but the P-1000 Ratte, at 1000 metric tonnes would have surpassed it if the production were ever continued.
Tank Overhaul extends an invitation to a venue where military hobbyists bring together their knowledge with modern tech to bring back the best war tanks that ever existed. From the original parts, to putting them back together, to the intriguing history behind the technological advancements that made each tank amazing, experience as one US tank and one German tank get built again to their former excellence. Current project: The Elephant - The team hustles to add a Nazi Elephant tank-killer to one of the best tank collections that exists. It was mostly used at the Battle of Kursk and only two of them are left on the planet.
This undertaking has been going on since 2007. These futuristic monstrosities were developed as a lighter form of ground vehicles. These Future Combat Systems Manned Ground Vehicles, or MGV were based on vehicle chassis that was commonly tracked. It has 2 men crew instead of 4 and it has much lower profile than normal tanks. The project has been unfortunately superseded by Ground Combat Vehicle.
One of the greatest tank destroyer's from the 2nd World War was the M18 Hellcat. It had a 76mm cannon, and it was one of the fastest armored vehicles used for attacking in the war. It could also go up to sixty miles per hour. Buick gave it the name "Hellcat". How was it able to go so fast? The armor used was kept to a minimum so that it wouldn't get weighed down. Since it had the advantage of speed it was much more difficult for the enemy to make a dent in its armor.
