Sažetak
The answer to the question: What is a good tank? is often a matter of paradigm created by publicity. Mobility of tanks nowadays is something that is ultimately recognised as the most important characteristic of this complex combat system. Mobility, agility and manoeuvrability are synonyms for survivability. Thus, one should look for a paradigm shift – from a paradigm created by publicity to the battlefield reality, i.e. to something that is inevitably imposed – the natural law or physical phenomena. The publicity of the 70’s made us believe that a powerful engine and a transmission full of hydraulic units would give a tank excellent mobility. Instead, the whole Western tank development entered a vicious circle of “power - size & weight – power”. This paper reports on the solutions that answer physical phenomena and have given excellent results concerning tank mobility, agility and manoeuvrability.
