Advancing Titans: Super-Heavy Tanks of 20th Century

In the first half of the 20th century, there wasn’t a single dominant tank layout that everybody used, like it happens nowadays with modern MBTs.

P-80 Shooting Star: First Step

Many people believe that wars drive technological advancement, citing the creation of the first jet fighters at the end of WW2 as one of the most striking examples of that phenomenon.

In other words, wars contribute to technological advancement, but they push it in a particular direction, and not always the best or the most rational one.
