Working of a fighting TANK

 
         A tank is a  fighting vehicle designed for front-line attack which make easy operational mobility, tactical offensive, and defensive .The name "tank" was adopted in Great Britain during the early stages of their development, as a security measure to conceal their purpose  Firepower is normally provided by a large-calibre main gun and secondary machine guns, while heavy armour provide protection for the tank and its team, allowing it to perform all primary tasks of the armoured troops on the war fields

Tanks in the Cold War advanced to counter greater battlefield threats. Tanks became larger and their armour became thicker and much more effective. Advances in manufacturing late in the war allowed the mass production of composite armor. Aspects of gun technology changed significantly as well, with advances in shell design.
     During the 20th century, main battle tanks were considered a key component of modern armies.In the 21st century, with the increasing role of asymetrical warfare and the end of the cold war, that also contributed to the increase of cost-effective Russian anti-tank weapons worldwide, the importance of tanks has waned. Modern tanks seldom operate alone, as they are organized into armoured units which involve the support of infantry, who may accompany the tanks in infantry fighting vehicles. They are also usually supported by reconnaissance or ground-attack aircraft.The tanks sped over the rough desert terrain, through heavy smoke from oil fires, destroying almost all of the oppositions.
