Part 3 of the Future Main Battle Tank or FMBT70 series. This video looks at why the Germans and British wanted casemated vehicles , discusses the changes made as well as the tanks drawn to try and remedy this.
Disclaimer: While many pictures and models of the vehicles drawn and, in some cases, tested survive, much more has been either lost or is not available. These include the people and sites, many of whom are still alive, and due to the secrecy of the project, photos of these meetings were not taken for security reasons. therefore, we have used a more simplified animation style to walk you through the instruction rather than just rely on generic and misplaced stock images, but we hope you like them.
