Armored forces

Armored forces are the corps in the ground forces, the main striking force of ground troops. They are used primarily in conjunction with mechanized forces in key areas and perform the following tasks:
-in defense - support of mechanized troops in repelling the enemy attack and developing counterattacks;
-in the attack - the application of powerful strokes to dissect enemy lines in greater depth, development of success, and defeat the enemy in counter-battles and battles [Wikipedia].
The basis of the Armoured Forces are tank brigades and tank battalions of the infantry brigades (mechanized, light infantry, and mountain), which have great resistance to the striking factors of both conventional and nuclear weapons, firepower, high mobility, and maneuverability. They can fully use the results of fire (nuclear) damage to the enemy in a short time to achieve the final goals of combat operations.
The combat capabilities of tank formations allow them to conduct active combat operations day and night, at a considerable distance from other troops, to crush the enemy in counter-attacks and battles, overcome large areas of radioactive contamination on the move, cross water obstacles, and also to quickly create a strong defense and successfully resist the onslaught of overwhelming enemy forces [Encyclopedia Britannica].
