This Missile Doesn’t Hit the Tank. It Flies Over It What happens when tank armor becomes too difficult to attack head-on? Anti-tank missiles evolved from larger warheads to tandem charges designed to deal with explosive reactive armor.

U.S. Marines conduct M240 machine gun live-fire training at Camp Fuji, Japan, sharpening their weapons proficiency, teamwork, and combat readiness. The M240 is a belt-fed 7.62×51mm NATO machine gun designed to provide sustained fire support for infantry operations.

Norwegian Army Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks and CV90 infantry fighting vehicles conduct live-fire training and combined tactical maneuvers at Pabradė Training Grounds in Lithuania. Assigned to NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence Battlegroup Lithuania, Norwegian troops sharpen their gunnery skills and strengthen coordination between armored and mechanized infantry units. The footage features tank firing sequences, tactical maneuvers, onboard GoPro views, and aerial drone shots, showcasing the teamwork and combat readiness of NATO forces deployed in the Baltic region.

The LAV-25 is an eight-wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle used by the U.S. Marine Corps. Armed with a 25mm M242 Bushmaster cannon and a 7.62mm machine gun, it combines rapid mobility with firepower for reconnaissance and battlefield support.

The C-RAM can fire 4,500 20mm rounds per minute, and one 5-second burst costs around $40,000.

These tanks carry explosives on the outside to help protect the people inside. The secret is explosive reactive armor: blocks that sacrifice themselves to disrupt an incoming attack.

The MT-12 Rapira is a Soviet 100mm smoothbore anti-tank gun designed primarily for direct fire. Its long recoil movement makes the gun appear to kick violently when fired, while its optical sighting system and specialized ammunition allowed it to engage armored targets at ranges of around 2 kilometers depending on the ammunition.

Pershing vs. Panther. Cologne. On March 6, 1945, a remarkable tank battle took place in Cologne, Germany, between an American M26 Pershing tank and a German Panther tank. 🇺🇸 The M26 Pershing, with its 90 mm gun, offered a more balanced combination of firepower and protection against the Panther’s formidable armor. 🇩🇪 The Panther, with its long-barreled 7.5 cm KwK 42 gun and sloped frontal armor, was one of the most dangerous German tanks of its time. 📍 The clash occurred amid the heavy destruction of Cologne during the final days of the war. The footage became one of the famous urban combat scenes of World War II, showing the Pershing disabling the Panther. ⏳ By the spring of 1945, the German army was on the defensive, and Allied forces were advancing deeper into Germany.
