Tanks have become an important part of all wars since their first use against the German Empire by the British Army in 1916 during the First World War. The ability of these tanks to move effectively regardless of terrain and to provide adequate protection to their crews who skillfully used the basic heavy weapons mounted on these tanks made them the game changers needed in the battles of all the major Armies around the world.
Today, through innovation, tanks now provide better protection to the crew with their comprehensive armored hulls that protect against missiles, shells, shrapnel and bullets. In addition, tanks can now carry a variety of advanced weapons such as turreted large-caliber cannons, machine guns, anti-tank guided missiles, and even rockets.
Of all the advances, the ability of tanks to move fast with great speed remains a key feature for success in battles. This is achieved by their extremely powerful engines and tank tracks. To admit this, we have compiled a list of the fastest tanks ever built.
