The tank is the most powerful weapon of modern times and a striking force in all of the world’s armies. This military machine can destroy infantry, armoured vehicles and enemy air targets from different ranges of fire. The modern tank can travel at up to 70 kilometres an hour and hit targets situated up to five kilometres away while still moving. To find out what role tanks played and what they were like before the development of the modern model, visit the Kubinka Armoured Vehicle and Armament Museum, located just outside of Moscow. The museum is home to a massive collection of tanks from around the world and from many periods of history — from the past to the present.
