关于第三代坦克问世的时间,可以认为在70年代末至80年代初之间。1979年开始服役的前西德“豹”2坦克、1980年列装的美国M1“艾布拉姆斯”坦克和1983年装备部队的英国“挑战者”坦克等都属于此代坦克中的首批车辆。 由此看来,第三代坦克自问世以来已经有近20年的时间。通常从装甲战斗车辆的发展速度来说,下一代主战坦克的形态应该即将确定,快的话便是真正的全尺寸模型或试制车辆问世之时。但是,未来主战坦克现在仍然没有脱离概念研究的阶段。其原因到底何在呢?

About the third generation of tanks came out of time, can be considered between the late 70s and early 80s. The former Western Leopard 2 tank, which began service in 1979, the American M1 Abrams tank, which was installed in 1980, and the British Challenger tank, which was equipped in 1983, all belong to the head of this generation of tanks Batch the vehicle. Seen in this light, the third generation of tanks since its inception has been nearly 20 years. Normally, from the speed of development of armored fighting vehicles, the shape of the next generation of main battle tanks should be determined sooner rather than later, when the real full-size model or prototype vehicle is available. However, the future of the main battle tank is still not out of the concept of research phase. The reason why exactly?
