Tanks are strategic military vehicles that were designed to withstand the most brutal circumstances. What the average car could not get through, the tank could. They were first used in World War I and were used for disabling the enemy by destroying their main defenses.
Tanks are bullet-proof to the nth degree and feature gadgets like night-vision telescopes/binoculars, long-range target guns (e.g., missiles and machine guns) and GPS systems.
A tank does not use standard tires like today's car. Instead of four wheels, tanks run on a "caterpillar track," almost like a giant conveyor belt under the vehicle. And according to FirstWorldWar.com, this track was ideal for getting through muddy terrain. In other words, they are the ultimate all-terrain vehicle.
