- Title
Nick Reynolds: Heavy Armoured Forces in Future Combined Arms Warfare. London: RUSI December 2023.
- Abstract
The study by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) examines the impact of the Ukraine war on the British armed forces' equipment with armored vehicles. It argues that heavy armored troops and combat tanks will continue to play an important role in warfare, but concerns exist regarding their vulnerability and survivability. It is recommended to increase the mobility of lighter forces by using deception and bait and integrating unmanned ground vehicles. The logistics, maintenance, and vehicle recovery of armored units must also be adapted. The study argues that armored units will remain relevant, but the main requirement is to improve mobility.
