6 сент 1915 г. - The Tank

Описание:

The tank, a heavily armed and armored vehicle used for ground warfare, was first used in combat during World War I. The first tanks were developed by the British army in response to the stalemate of trench warfare, which had resulted in a lack of mobility and high casualties on the battlefield.

The first tanks were developed in secret and were first used in action on September 15, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme. The tanks were used to support infantry attacks and were able to cross trenches and other obstacles that were impassable to traditional vehicles.

After World War I, the development of tanks continued, and they became an important part of military operations in World War II and in conflicts since. Today, tanks are used by many countries around the world and are an important component of modern ground warfare.
