It is powered by an 85 3a turbocharged diesel engine that produces 1, horsepower. A speed automatic transmission is mated to the engine. The tank has a maximum road speed of 56 miles per hour and a cross-country speed of 37 miles per hour. The T Armata has a top speed of 50 to 56 miles per hour.
Although speed is important, what is vital is a stable gun platform. You can watch as many videos of tanks flying through the air but the crew inside have to take the punishment of 60 tons landing. The 1st tank battle took place in September Not 2 centuries ago Its role was to support the infantry, it has the same role today.
Tanks do not fight battles without infantry nearby. Therefore if they move too fast for the infantry to keep up they have to stop and wait for them. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

We hope you stop by Wonderopolis again soon! Hi, Tim! Thanks for sharing that interesting fact. It sounds like you know a lot about tanks. They are interesting to learn about. Maybe you can do a project on them and share it with your family and friends!
Welcome, Nicholas! Thanks for joining the discussion and sharing your thoughts. The Wonder tells us, "Believe it or not, tanks can actually move at about 25 miles per hour on flat terrain and up to 45 miles per hour on roads!
Hi, Tianna! Because of the size and their engine, tanks don't go as fast as some vehicles. However, 45 miles per hour in a tank probably seems faster than it sounds! They weren't. They were designed to be armoured fighting vehicles. The codename "tanks" was used to disguise their purpose.
Great point, Wonder Friend Tyler! While tanks can drive quite fast, they are not built for speed. Those high speeds can lead to engine breakdowns, so we don't think you will have to worry about speedy tanks anytime soon! Hi there, Tankmanc! Thanks so much for sharing your comment with us!
