This shift confronted the growing threat of guided anti-tank missiles and saw the introduction of composite armor. Soviet heavy tanks and tank destroyer\/assault guns became obsolete, giving way to the technological might of the T-62 and T-64, while NATO forces employed the Chieftain, AMX-30, Leopard I, and M60, plus the initial attempt at a common US-German tank, the MBT-70. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing detailed illustrations and contemporary photographs, this companion volume to NVG 301, \u003ci\u003eTanks at the Iron \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eCurtain 1946\u003c\/i\u003e–\u003ci\u003e60\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on key battle tanks and their technology to give a comprehensive overall picture of how tanks developed during modern times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40230939459681,"sku":"9781472848161","price":10.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_22238208.jpg?v=1712817253","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781472848161-tanks-at-the-iron-curtain-1960-75","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
