Most of the design work was done by Germany’s Thyssen-Krupp AG, who had already developed the TAM light tank for Argentina. The idea of an APC based on the TAM chassis was the idea of the Argentine Army, and this was done to decrease the cost of the VCTP as well as the cost of maintenance by producing a vehicle that had a large percentage of parts that were the same as the TAM. It also meant that mechanics trained to work on the TAM could be quickly trained to also work on the VCTP, and a driver who could drive a TAM could drive a VCTP. The Argentine Army originally intended to replace all of their APCs and many of its scout vehicles with the VCTP, for a total of 350 VCTPs and VCPCs; however, only 210 (of all versions) were actually produced, due to budgetary problems.

Given that the requirements of modern armoured vehicles are driven by so many conflict- ing factors, perhaps they are the defence establishment’s own camels. Mobility, protection and firepower as core requirements are by no means confined to Main Battle Tanks, but the emergence of uninformed, or “claimed” national industrial strategic capabilities; the tightening of budgets; the growth of “zero-casualty” politics; and the ability to destroy an enemy at drone’s length all impact global demand for vehicles with the full suite of capa- bilities now available. That “full suite” costs space and manoeuvrability, as crews of 4x4 vehicles in combat have, historically, sometimes found to their detriment.

  • Tesis Doctoral Año 2018/2019
    TESIS DOCTORAL AÑO 2018/2019 TÍTULO DE LA TESIS Il sistema militare dell'Unione europea NOMBRE Y APELLIDOS DEL AUTOR Roberto Martino PROGRAMA DE DOCTORADO EN European Union studies NOMBRE Y APELLIDOS DEL DIRECTOR Prof. Dr. Joaquin Sarrion Esteve 1 Ai miei genitori 2 Resumen. Esta tesis doctoral quiere describir el aparato militar de la Unión Europea, a partir de su génesis histórica, analizando su estado actual y su potencial futuro. Está dividido en cuatro partes. La primera parte está dedicada al análisis de tratados con el objetivo de cooperar en el campo militar firmado por los estados de la Unión Europea, inicialmente dirigidos a detener un posible rearme alemán independiente y potencialmente agresivo, utilizado posteriormente para enfrentar la amenaza militar soviética y finalmente establecer una Unión Europea con su propia política de defensa, más o menos independiente de la de los Estados miembros, dentro de una política exterior común. La segunda parte describe las instituciones de la UE en el campo de la Política Común de Seguridad y Defensa, su organización, sus tareas y sus relaciones con los Estados miembros. La tercera parte analiza en detalle la composición de las fuerzas armadas de los veintiocho países de la UE. Se describe su organización y sus capacidades militares, tanto desde un punto de vista cualitativo como cuantitativo. También incluye a las fuerzas armadas de Gran Bretaña, que al final del trabajo en cuestión todavía es miembro, aunque cerca de su salida. La cuarta parte está dedicada a las misiones puramente militares llevadas a cabo por la UE hasta ahora, con tareas de prevención de conflictos, entrenamiento militar, lucha contra el terrorismo, seguridad y lucha contra la trata de personas.

This compendium will examine two categories: armoured fighting vehicles (AFV) only delivering direct fire and those that also carry infantry into the fight. Stephen W.
