Children’s Book: Armored Combat Vehicles – Modern Weapons

Description

With its wealth of information and visual clarity, the “Modern Weapons” series will introduce you to contemporary weapon systems-from attack nuclear submarines, to rocket artillery, to long-range bombers, attack helicopters, armored combat vehicles, automatic weapons, sniper rifles, and other small arms. Deadly effective and devastating, today’s weapons of war are extremely precise and feature specialized characteristics to meet the needs of any specific situation.

The second book in the series examines a wide variety of battle tanks equipped with powerful cannons, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles that transport and support infantry forces, combat vehicles equipped with missile systems, armored vehicles with cannons, and reconnaissance and patrol vehicles. At a glance, the reader can see the advantages of one combat vehicle over another.

Colorful diagrams compare data on the systems, such as maximum speed, armor protection, operational range, mobility, transport capacity, combat load, fording depth, maximum ascent and descent gradients, vehicle weight, weapon caliber, firing range, and rate of fire.

Many of these weapon systems have been used in military conflicts, such as the Gulf War, the Iraq War, the war in Afghanistan, and conflicts in the Middle East.
