Travelers entering from the desert were confounded by what must have seemed an illusion: a great garden filled with nightingales and roses, cut by canals and terraced promenades, studded with water tanks of turquoise tile in which were reflected the glistening blue curves of a hundred domes.

The big tanks were at the site but still sunning themselves.

Russian tanks and artillery parading through the streets of Havana, Russian intrigue in the Congo, and Russian arms drops in Laos ( using the same Ilyushin transports that were used to carry Communist agents to the Congo ) made it plain once more that the cold war was all of a piece in space and time.

Most German tanks were captured British ones.

The light tanks that were the last descendants of the light cavalry during the Second World War have almost completely disappeared from the world's militaries due to increased lethality of the weapons available to the vehicle-mounted infantry.

Battalions of assault guns, usually StuG IIIs, commonly replaced the intended panzer battalion in the German panzergrenadier divisions due to the chronic shortage of tanks, and were sometimes used as makeshifts even in the panzer divisions.

British and American forces also deployed vehicles designed for a close support role, but these were conventional tanks whose only significant modification was the replacement of the main gun with a howitzer.

The absence of a turret also meant that tank destroyers could be manufactured significantly cheaper, faster and more easily than the tanks on which they were based and fou8nd particular favor when production resoureces were lacking.

After hard lessons early in the war, machine guns were mounted for use against infantry but the limited traverse of the mounting meant that they were still less effective than those used on turreted tanks.

For instance, 202 obsolete Panzer I light tanks were modified by removing the turret and were rebuilt as the Panzerjäger I self-propelled Skoda anti-tank gun.

Similarly, Panzer II tanks were used on the eastern front.

German tank destroyers based on the Panzer III or later German tanks were unique in that they had more armor than their tank counterparts.

Although the early German Panzerjäger carried more effective weapons than the tanks on which they were based, they were generally lacking in protection for the crew, having thinly armored open-topped superstructures.

About 26 were sold to Siam and saw action as Infantry support guns and AA guns during the Franco-Thai war ( 1940-1941 ) along with 30 Vickers Mk. E Type B 6-ton tanks.

A large portion of its nearly 2, 000 T-55 tanks fell into disrepair, and eventually almost all of them were scrapped or sold to other countries.

Diseases such as wheat blast and rice blast were weaponized in aerial spray tanks and cluster bombs for delivery to enemy watersheds in agricultural regions to initiate epiphytotics ( epidemics among plants ).

These agents were prepared to spray them down from tanks attached to airplanes over hundreds of miles.

The British had been able to penetrate German lines this way, but not enough tanks were made before the war ended.

Guderian believed that developments in technology were required to support the theory ; especially equipping armoured divisions — tanks foremost, with wireless communications.

However, precisely because the French thought the Ardennes unsuitable for massive troop movement, particularly for tanks, they were left with only light defences which were quickly overrun by the Wehrmacht.

Historically, tanks are divided into 3 categories:

The Royal Armoured Corps is divided into those regiments that operate main battle tanks ( armoured regiments ) and those that operate reconnaissance tanks ( formation reconnaissance regiments ).

Melee classes in DAoC are divided into heavy and light tanks.

How the tanks are divided internally, or the structure reinforced inside, or the kind of structural detail that is used at the end in order to attach the structure to a big booster below, or to a different size stage above, have very little effect on tooling problems.

Bonnet / hood louvres such as those fitted on the recently introduced twelve-cylinder E Type were rejected, but the XJ12 featured a complex " cross-flow " radiator divided into two separated horizontal sections and supported with coolant feeder tanks at each end: the engine fan was geared to rotate at 1¼ times the speed of the engine rpm, subject to a limiter which cut in at a ( fan ) speed of 1, 700 rpm.

The popular press, Congressional Budget Office, and various think tanks have used the term to mean varying measures of tax divided by varying measures of income, with little consistency in definition.

The classes are mirrored, but the tanks are generally divided into a Heavy Tank ( Ironbreakers and Black Orcs who focus on sheer mitigation and blocking combined with large health pools which makes them superior at 1 on 1 tanking ) a Reflective Tank ( Blackguards and Swordmasters who have a variety of counter attacks to deal high damage ) and AoE tanks ( Knights and Chosens who are able to use their auras and AoE attacks to tank lots of enemies at once ).

However, smaller ponds may need to be divided in much the same manner as septic tanks.

* The level two mobile medical kit ( PSM2 ): it can handle resuscitation care for 500 patients ; it is made of 8 tons of equipment and drugs ( 200 references ) in 150 tanks, it can be divided ( is possible to set up several sub-fracedPSM2 ); in addition to the usual logistic equipment of the PSM1, the PSM2 has a tactical radio network and a management computer system.

The Panzertruppe however was until 1940 overshadowed by the much more influential Infantry, as exemplified by the low priority given to tank production and the fact tanks were between 1936 and 1939 also divided among the Infantry and Cavalry.

Though Walter Ulbricht, by grace of Soviet tanks, may be head man in East Germany, that does not give him any right to usurp the government of East Berlin or to absorb that semi-city into the Soviet zone.

The ingredients are fed from tanks through a hose and into the mixer at a predetermined rate.

A modern main battle tank incorporates advances in automotive, artillery, and armour technology to combine the best characteristics of the historic medium and heavy tanks into a single, all around type.

It had living quarters for people, fish tanks raising Tilapia for protein, a greenhouse watered with fish water and a closed loop sewage reclamation system that recycled human waste into sanitized fertilizer for the fish tanks.

Septic tanks may also require some lifestyle changes, such as not using garbage disposals, minimizing fluids flushed into the tank, and minimizing nondigestible solids flushed into the tank.

In the event of heavy precipitation, the load on the sewage treatment plant at the end of the pipe becomes too great to handle and raw sewage is dumped into holding tanks, and sometimes into surface water.

") He was determined not to fight until he thought there had been sufficient preparation for a decisive victory, and put into action his beliefs with the gathering of resources, detailed planning, the training of troops — especially in clearing minefields and fighting at night — and in the use of 252 of the latest American-built Sherman tanks, 90 M7 Priest self-propelled howitzers, and making a personal visit to every unit involved in the offensive.

Before being released back into the river, the used water was held in large tanks known as retention basins for up to six hours.

Depending on Cheka committees in various cities, the methods included: being skinned alive, scalped, " crowned " with barbed wire, impaled, crucified, hanged, stoned to death, tied to planks and pushed slowly into furnaces or tanks of boiling water, or rolled around naked in internally nail-studded barrels.

The Germans had not taken cavalry into consideration when fortifying their position which, combined with the " Warsaw " s swift assault, overran the German anti-tank guns and consolidated into an attack into the village itself, now supported by infantry and tanks.

When faced with battalions of tanks, jets, and missiles, the cultural opponent dissolves away into the population.

Alternative calculations, based on the assumption that the official reports underestimated how much seawater had been forced into the damaged tanks, placed the total at.

Overloaded or malfunctioning septic tanks in karst landscapes may dump raw sewage directly into underground channels.

It is organised into two tank battalions ( T-55, T-54 and T-34 / 85, tanks, including possibly a light armoured battalion of PT-76's and Type 62 light tanks ), four infantry battalions, one Special Forces battalion, one airborne battalion ( possibly the 33rd Parachute Infantry Regiment, Djikoroni, in Bamako ), two artillery battalions, one engineer battalion ( 34th ), 2 AD artillery batteries, and one SAM battery.

Shortly thereafter, Miyazaki proposed scenes in the screenplay for Flying Phantom Ship, in which military tanks would roll into downtown Tokyo and cause mass hysteria, and was hired to storyboard and animate those scenes.

They had the advantage of being able to unload their tanks directly into water up to in depth, several hundred yards from shore, whereas the unmodified Type A had to be firmly grounded on the beach, making it more vulnerable to enemy fire.

Instead, a large hatch was cut into the stern, thereby allowing the tanks to drive directly into deep water before turning under their own motive power and heading towards shore.
