Chars d'assaut

This illustrated book presents modern tanks, essential pillars of offensive land operations. They are distinguished by their mobility on various terrains and their ability to fire accurately on the move. Recent conflicts have confirmed their effectiveness despite high costs - between three and six million euros - and a weight of up to sixty tons.

While the majority of nations have tanks, their number and quality vary considerably. Some have a few dozen, while others have thousands depending on their strategic needs and economic capacities.

The book analyzes in particular the American M1 Abrams, the result of a long technological evolution and considerable financial investments, as well as the Israeli Merkava, designed thanks to the military experience of this country to offer exceptional performances.

It also covers the Soviet T-series tanks, which were widely produced during the Cold War. At the time, quantity was more important than quality, but recent technological advances have allowed some models to reach a level comparable to the most advanced Western tanks.

With detailed illustrations and descriptions, this book offers a clear and comprehensive overview of modern tanks and their evolution.

Véhicules de combat

This illustrated book explores infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), essential to accompany tanks on the battlefield. Equipped with tracks, these vehicles offer great mobility capabilities, extended autonomy and high speed to advance effectively. They are equipped with powerful cannons and missiles capable of confronting enemy forces.

Recent conflicts, such as in Iraq, have confirmed the effectiveness of tracked vehicles, despite their high costs and demanding maintenance. This technology remains at the heart of future developments, like the Spanish Pizarro program, which combines modernity and performance.

The book also presents less advanced but still essential IFV models in many armies. Illustrated and informative, it offers a clear overview of modern combat vehicles, highlighting their key role in current military operations and their technological evolution.
