A new analysis of the technology and tanks that faced off against
each other on opposite sides of the Iron Curtain, during the very
height of the Cold War. From the 1960s onwards, there was a
generational shift in tank design and warfare with the advent of
CBR (chemical, biological, radiological) protection and a move away
from HEAT ammunition to APFSDS. 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. Using detailed illustrations and contemporary
photographs, this companion volume to NVG 301, Tanks at the Iron
Curtain 1946-60 focuses on key battle tanks and their technology to
give a comprehensive overall picture of how tanks developed during
modern times.
