What happened in the last two weeks? The biggest news of the last two weeks was the launch of the first issue of the Tank Encyclopedia magazine! It features seven yet-unpublished articles made by the Tank Encyclopedia team, along with specials from the archives, the modeling world, the Queensland Museum in Australia and our sister-website, Plane Encyclopedia. We have a quick look at some archive document about what happens when an airplane gets a bit too acquainted with a High Explosive tank shell, the book 'The Tank War' by Mark Urban and news about World of Tanks.

The AGM-114 ‘Hellfire’ missile was developed by the US Army specifically to counter modern Soviet main battle tanks in a potential clash of superpowers. Thankfully for all concerned, such a conflict did not erupt, the Cold War ending with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Nonetheless, the missile in service proved itself effective in combat and offered advantages over the TOW missile. The idea of a ground-launched version of the missile goes back to around 1980, even before the missile had been finished. It was not until 1991 that efforts were seriously made to use it within a project called Hellfire Ground Launched (HGL) coming in two types; Light (GLH-L) – mounted on an HMMWV, and Heavy (GLH-H) – mounted on a light armored vehicle such as the Bradley, LAV, or M113. It came to pass that only one of those options was pursued, the test mounting and fitting of the GLH-H turret on an M113, in this case, a repurposed M901 TOW version.
