Battle tanks are marvels of engineering and science. Modern Battle Tanks (MBT) rely on using metal-matrix composites, metal-ceramic-kevlar composites, as well as composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres to make various components including body armour demonstrating material innovation. State of the art technologies like ability to fire Armour-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot round, High Explosive squash Head and Explosive Reactive Armour module distinguish one from another.
