Article Abstract:
The projected continued importance of the Main Battle Tank (MBT) in future warfighting scenarios ensures the need for more efficient tank transports and tank transporters. Because military aircraft transporters are very expensive to operate, wheeled tank transporters are the vehicle of choice when it comes to transporting MBTs for medium- to long-range deployments, especially when no dedicated railway network is available.
