About this vehicle

In the post-war years, work on wheeled heavy armored vehicles continued in Britain. One ambitious project was called Concept 5 Future Tank Design. Essentially, it was a tank on wheels. Such vehicles were intended for specific theaters of war, where wheeled vehicles had an advantage, such as rocky deserts. As armament, it had a 105 mm gun, which allowed it to fight against medium tanks of that period. The project never made it past the concept stage due to the decision to develop main battle tanks and tracked vehicles.
