U S Strategy on Tanks Focuses Beyond Tank for Tank Match
The United States plans about 13 000 medium tanks by summer, far short of the Soviet 40 000. An Army spokesman says no aim to match Soviet armor tank for tank, noting production could accelerate and that antitank weapons like recoilless rifles bazookas and rifle grenades play a key role. The 13 000 figure covers only medium gun tanks not light or heavy types, while the USSR estimate likely includes all tank categories.
