	Armoured warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Armoured warfare in modern warfare is understood to be the use of armoured fighting vehicles as a central component of the methods of war.
		The units were entirely mobile and consisted of reconnaissance tankettes and armoured cars, a battalion of 48 Vickers medium tanks, a motorized machine gun battalion, a mechanized artillery regiment, which had one battery of fully-tracked self-propelled guns capable of acting as conventional or anti-aircraft artillery (Birch guns), and a motorized company of field engineers.
		During the Cold War, NATO and the Warsaw Pact assumed armoured warfare to be a dominant aspect of conventional ground warfare in Europe.

		While this is a form of armoured warfare, it is an unintelligent and poor use of tank assets to use such a similar strategy, as it does not fully exploit what can be done with an armoured force.
		The biggest strength of using an armoured force, meaning large numbers of tanks, is that you have at your disposal considerable speed and mobility coupled with excellent protection for your soldiers.
		Armoured forces are interesting in the fact that if enough of your tanks and transports survive, then you tend to rip your opponents to shreds without much difficulty, while if you lose, you tend to lose badly because of the amount of points often put into tanks and transports.

	Tank - Enpsychlopedia
		A tank is characterised by heavy weapons and armour, as well as by a high degree of mobility that allows it to cross rough terrain at relatively high speeds.
		Thin plates of spaced armour, steel mesh "RPG screens", or rubber skirts, were found to cause HEAT rounds to detonate too far from the main armour, greatly reducing their penetrating power.
		Explosive reactive armour, or ERA, is another major type of protection against high explosive antitank weapons, in which sections of armour explode to dissipate the focussed explosive force of a shaped charge warhead.

		Here Pakistani armour enjoyed a seven to one superiority in tanks in terms of total troops available but were unable to pump their armour inside the enemy territory in time thus enabling the Indians to recover from surprise from 8th September onwards.

	::General Percy Hobart::
		Influenced by the writings of Liddell Hart who pushed for the adoption of the concept of armoured mobility, Hobart also wanted to use science to break out of the mentality of trench or defensive warfare - as seen by the French with the Maginot Line.
		In September 1939, Hobart believed that the 7th Armoured Division was in an excellent position to fight should war spill over into North Africa.
		Such was his knowledge and drive that he quickly reclaimed his reputation for modern warfare and a modern approach to modern military problems.
