Tank Destroyers

Tank destroyers are specialized military vehicles designed primarily to combat tanks and armored vehicles. They typically feature a powerful, long-range gun mounted on a chassis optimized for firepower and agility rather than all-around armor or troop transport. Unlike main battle tanks, tank destroyers often have lighter armor and are used strategically to ambush and destroy enemy tanks from concealed positions. They played a significant role in 20th-century warfare, especially during World War II, providing dedicated anti-tank capability that complemented the broader armored forces.
