Armored Warfare

Armored warfare refers to military operations that heavily rely on armored vehicles, such as tanks and armored personnel carriers, to gain an advantage in combat. It encompasses the use of these vehicles for both offensive and defensive strategies on the battlefield. Developed significantly during World War I and II, armored warfare emphasizes mobility, protection, and firepower, allowing forces to penetrate enemy lines and support infantry. The effectiveness of armored units depends on coordination with air and infantry support, as well as tactics that exploit their strengths while mitigating vulnerabilities to anti-tank weapons and terrain challenges.
