PDF The Lion Has Wings: Race to Prepare the RAF for World War II; 1935-40 by L.F.E. Coombs in History

Description

The Russian T-72 Ural tank is the most widely-deployed main battle tank of the current generation. Used by the armies of the former Warsaw pact and Soviet Union; it has also been exported in large numbers to many of the states in the Middle East. This book reveals the previously secret history behind the tank. Steven J Zaloga examines the conditions under which the T-72 was designed and produced. Technical aspects of the weapon are also discussed; including its EDZ reactive armour which; when it first appeared in December 1984; gave NATO a nasty shock.
