Abstract

Urbano okružje sve je učestaliji prizor ratnih sukoba. Tenkovi neizbježno moraju pristupiti naseljenim područjima gdje su smatrani neprikladnim. Ovaj rad odgovara na pitanje imaju li tenkovi budućnost u urbanim operacijama. Na početku su se razmotrile značajke urbanog okružja i operacija koje se u njima odvijaju. Nakon toga se prešlo na identificiranje prijetnji i ograničenja koja pruža urbano okružje, kroz elemente tenkovskog trokuta. Sagledani su tehnički nedostatci i navesti moguća poboljšanja. Navedena razmatranja su potom uspoređena s predmetnim tenkom M-84. Na samom kraju predstavljene su dosadašnje taktike korištenja tenkova u urbanim operacijama te je dan pregled dvije bitke koje su označile prekretnice u cjelokupnom shvaćanju tog pitanja.

Abstract (english)

Urban environments are increasingly becoming scenes of military conflicts. Tanks inevitably need to operate in populated areas where they have often been considered unsuitable. This paper addresses the question of whether tanks have future in urban operations. It begins by examining characteristics of urban environment and the nature of operations conducted within them. Following this, the paper identifies the threats and constraints posed by urban settings, analyzed through the framework of the tank's armour protection, firepower and mobility. The technical shortcomings of tanks in urban environment are evaluated, and possible improvements are suggested. These considerations are then compared with the characteristics of the M-84 tank. Finally, the paper presents the existing tactics for using tanks in urban operations and provides a review of two battles that marked turning points in the understanding of this issue.
