Each entry includes accurate and reliable details of development, description, variants, specifications, status and manufacturer, complete with photographs to aid identification.

We also recommend Jane's Defence Equipment Library for all the key platform information.
Another hard-to-find reference book from a reputable private intelligence company, even though it's ten years old it costs £455. There is no more authoritative and classic source about tanks in the world, so Janes’ articles about new products, for example, about the Russian T-14 Armata, about conclusions from the recent practice of using artillery in the Donbass, would be interesting, but alas. There are no other releases on the free web (there is a saved electronic version of 2002, we will post that too).
