Comparison of the number of tanks in a division between China, the United States and Russia The Unit

China, the United States and Russia are the three most powerful countries in the world today, but each of the three has its own advantages, and there are also great differences in development.

From a general point of view, the strength of the United States is indeed superior, and although Russia inherited the military industry of the Soviet Union, its development in recent years is actually not as good as that of the United States, but in the field of manufacturing, Russia's strength is still remarkable.

And we, whether it is in the military industry, the development of manufacturing or even the economic level, are actually rising stars, and the development time is not as good as theirs, but the results are amazing.

In terms of military industry, the quantity of equipment and whether the technology is advanced or not have a great impact on the country's military strength to a certain extent.

Tanks are one of the indispensable equipment in the army, and China's development in this field is indeed much later than that of the United States and Russia, taking the equipment of a division, the United States has 348 vehicles, and Russia is slightly inferior, but there are also 320 vehicles.

So how many tanks are equipped in one division in the Chinese army?

In fact, the emergence of tanks can be said to be driven by the needs of war, as a kind of heavy ** that can carry out rapid heavy fire strikes on the battlefield, the development of tanks can also represent the strength of military strength to a certain extent.

The earliest tanks appeared in the First World War, and more than 100 years ago, the first teams were actually still infantry and artillery as the main forces.

During World War I, the confrontation between the British and French forces and the Germans reached a stalemate, and in order to break through the enemy's defensive line with barbed wire and mines, the British developed an armored vehicle.

This armored vehicle was named the tank, and at that time, in terms of its name and appearance, it resembled an ordinary vehicle transporting water or fuel tanks.

But in fact, this vehicle was equipped not only with armor plates, but also with a machine gun and a turret, which was first put into service in 1916.

Although the speed was not satisfactory, the defensive performance of the tank, which could not even penetrate bullets, scared some German soldiers into abandoning their armor.

After that, the British army began to focus on the development and improvement of tanks, and after the end of World War I, this wind also blew to countries around the world, including the Soviet Union, Germany and many other countries are non-stop research and development of tanks.

However, the most outstanding was not Britain, which was the latest to use tanks, but Germany, which opposed Britain, and the Soviet Union, one of the most influential countries at the time.

During World War II, tanks also played an important role on the battlefield, and in the Battle of Kursk, the Soviets and the Germans even engaged in a duel of armored forces, which was unprecedented in the entire history.

The Soviet Union's development in the field of tanks can be said to be unparalleled, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia inherited most of the Soviet military industry, but did not continue this glory.

Now there are about 1 division in Russia30,000 to 1Between 50,000 people, the number of tanks in an armored division is actually not a lot, and an armored division has 320 tanks.

However, the models of the tanks are more mixed, some are equipped with T72, some are equipped with T80, and some are equipped with the backbone tank T90 of their regular army.

The advantage of this type of tank is that it is relatively fast, and when on the road, the maximum travel speed can reach 60 kilometers per hour.

However, the T90 tank uses a super engine, and the power is only 1200 horsepower, and the reason why it can move fast is because the total weight of the T90 tank is only 46 tons.

The advantage in weight can indeed increase the speed, but it also makes the best firepower of the equipment average, and the smoothbore gun equipped with the T90 tank can only penetrate the homogeneous steel armor at a distance of 2000 meters, which is relatively collapsed.

In fact, Russia also has a more advanced tank, that is, the T14 Armata main battle tank, but because of the limited conditions in Russia in recent years, there are only about 30 tanks of this model at most.

Russia's tanks are actually inferior to the United States in terms of the number of equipment in each division and the degree of advancement, and as the most powerful country in the world, the tanks equipped by the US ** team should not be underestimated.

The United States first decided to develop tanks as equipment, in fact, a year after Britain had already used tanks on the battlefield, and before that, they could be said to know nothing about tanks.

It wasn't until American officers saw British tanks on the battlefield that they made up their minds to develop tanks and form a powerful tank force.

Just a year after this decision, the United States had already trained excellent tank crews, even if they did not have tanks at this time.

Later, the United States developed their own light tanks according to the design of the French Renault FT, and because the tankmen had been trained early, these tanks were quickly put into use.

American tanks also proved their worth in World War I, and at the same time proved that this kind of equipment is actually very necessary in war.

However, due to the huge economic expenses caused by the war, the military spending of the US army dropped sharply after World War I, and the number of tank troops dropped from the original 20,000 to less than 300.

Only two years after the end of the war, the tank corps of the US army was no longer a separate army formation, but slowly united tank crews with infantry.

During the interwar period, there was almost no development of American tanks, only two types of light tanks were produced, and in very small quantities.

It wasn't until the U.S. military officially participated in World War II that they realized how important tanks were, and during this period, they not only began to pay attention to the development of tanks, but also produced tens of thousands of tanks in one fell swoop.

At present, the most important tank model in the United States is the M1A2 main battle tank, which has been in service since the 90s of the last century.

Although this type of tank has been in service for many years, the equipment of the US military is not static, after continuous updates and upgrades, although the M1A2 main battle tank has not changed in general, but it has added a lot of information functions.

This allows each M1A2 main battle tank to share battlefield information with its companions and even other units in the army because of the on-board information system, which greatly improves the efficiency of communication.

This is also a realistic embodiment of the quality of the US team, because in terms of total volume, the number of tanks in the United States is not as good as that of Russia.

However, the U.S. Army is actually not very large, which leads to a relatively sufficient number of tanks that can be allocated to each division.

Today's U.S. military has only two fully equipped armored divisions, but these two units can be regarded as old elite troops, after all, they were both born in World War II, so the structure is relatively complete and the strength is not bad, and the U.S. military still attaches more importance to these two units.

The total number of tanks in the US army is about 10,000, which is slightly less than that of Russia, but the number of tanks equipped with an armored division is 348, which is slightly more than that of Russia.

The number of tanks equipped with each division of the United States and Russia is actually about the same, which also makes people curious about how many tanks each division of China, whose strength is growing by leaps and bounds.

Compared with the United States and Russia, China's tank development is actually much later, and until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we basically used tanks captured from other countries.

At that time, the country's military industrial force was still very weak, but this did not stop our determination to develop, and by the end of the 50s, we had already created our own main battle tank.

The Type 59 developed at that time was copied from a Soviet tank, albeit only an imitation, which was already a huge step forward for us at that time.

It was almost in the 80s that the process of developing China's own tanks was finally on the right track, but the road to independent research was always difficult.

At that time, although we also developed our own tank, but the performance was still a little unsatisfactory, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, we got some tanks from the former Soviet Union for research.

After absorbing advanced experience, the PLA's main battle tank Type 96 was finally born, and China has since been able to produce it in large quantities.

If the Type 96 is the beginning, then the Type 99 is the real climax, and this type of tank is produced to catch up with international advanced targets.

Since it was produced, the Type 99 has also been improved in stages, not only increasing the armor to strengthen the defense capability, but also upgrading the electronics.

But to say that the strongest tank equipment in our country today, the Type 99A tank must be on the list, this heavy tank that has been produced in the last century, but the actual service time is only more than ten years.

The reason why the Type 99A tank can be called "the strongest" is, of course, because of its advanced technology and superior performance, and it is also a dual embodiment of inheritance and development.

The biggest problem of heavy tanks is that they have strong combat effectiveness but may not have enough power, and the general combat power that can go up at speed is not very strong.

However, the Type 99A tank weighs 58 tons, but it is able to find a balance between mobility and combat power, and can reach a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour while maintaining offensive and defensive performance.

In addition, the 99A is equipped with an advanced fire control system, night vision equipment and a digital communication system, making it highly combat-capable on the modern battlefield.

In the process of its research and development, China has successfully absorbed the experience and technology of global tank development and combined it with its own reality.

The strength of the Chinese Army is the most powerful in the world, and it is among the best in the world in terms of strategic technology, personnel allocation, and equipment.

However, we do not have official data on how many tanks a division is equipped with, but foreign media have analyzed it based on some data.

According to the data analyzed by foreign media, the number of tanks in China's mission is about 350, so the number of tanks in a division should be about 700.

After all, the figure of 700 vehicles is not our official data, perhaps the foreign media is exaggerating, but one thing can also be seen that the number of tanks equipped with one of our divisions should not be less than that of the United States and Russia.

It is very likely that one of our divisions is equipped with more tanks than all of them, after all, the name of the strongest army is not groundless, and the rapid rise of these years has made the whole world see the strength of China.
