Youri Obraztsov, known for his exhibitions and photographic works, is the author of several books and writes regularly in the periodical press. He is not a just a photographer, he himself served in the ranks of the Foreign Legion, so it is a subject that is particularly close to his heart. He was adjutant of the 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment of Orange. A light tank is a tank variant initially designed for rapid movements in and out of combat, to outmaneuver heavier tanks. It is smaller in size with thinner armor and a less powerful main gun, tailored for better tactical mobility and ease of transport and logistics. They are primarily employed in the screening, armored reconnaissance, skirmishing, artillery observation, and supplementing landing operations in a fire support role of expeditionary forces. The fast light tank was a major feature of the pre-World War II army buildup, where it was expected they would be used to exploit breakthroughs in enemy lines created by slower, heavier tanks, with the goal of disrupting communications and supply lines. The light tank has been one of the few tank variants to survive the development of the main battle tank—in which technological advancements have rendered all previous weight variants obsolete—and has seen use in a variety of roles including the support of light airborne or amphibious forces and reconnaissance. Light tanks and heavily armed combat vehicles are part of the Armored Fighting Vehicle family. These armored vehicles, widespread throughout the world, can accomplish a number of different missions. They are simple in their utilization and are extremely polyvalent. This book regroups, for the first time, all light tanks and heavy weapons vehicles, with chains or wheels, from the world over and their many modernizations and modifications along with the technical characteristics of each and every model. Enriched with more than 350 photos, clear and methodic, it reveals the history of each vehicle along with precise dates and a time-table showing when they were put into service. Dimensions are indicated in a practical and visual manner. This handbook allows the precise identification of a light tank and a heavily armed combat vehicle, from an image, even partial. A series of four tests will allow you to evaluate your current level and improve your knowledge on the matter. Regrouping all these qualities, this manual is an indispensable tool for the armed forces and everyone that has a passion for armored vehicles and military history. This book was realized by a specialist in the field of identification in collaboration with manufacturers and armed forces. It is the fourth volume in a series of books on military material, the first volumes of which are entitled "Main Battle Tanks", "Infantry Fighting Vehicles", and "Wheeled 8x8 Armored Fighting Vehicles".…
