Book Description
Two air induction systems on the M6O series tank were evaluated in falling snow. One tank used the standard air cleaner blower motor system (ACBM) while the other tank incorporated the Vehicle Exhaust Dust Ejector System (VEDES). None of the air filter elements on either tank became clogged with snow during the test. The check valves froze shut on the VEDES tank, while the ACBM became frozen with slush. The precleaner plugs on both tanks became packed with snow often. The tests were performed by personnel at the Keweenaw Research Center (KRC) in cooperation with personnel from General Dynamics Land Systems Division (GDLSD). The Keweenaw Research Center is a research agency of Michigan Technological University. It operates from the Keweenaw Field Station located on the Keweenaw Peninsula about 500 miles northwest of Detroit, Michigan. The field station offers a unique combination of terrain features, vegetation, lakes, access to an airport, and climatic variations. The long snow season also facilitates access to arctic-like conditions that can be reached easily from almost any part of the country.

Book Description
The 1973 Yom Kippur War rewrote the textbook on the tactics of modern armored warfare. Unlike the previous major Arab-Israeli war of 1967, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) faced an enemy that had invested heavily in modern Soviet weapon systems and tactics. Using detailed colour artwork and insightful analysis, this book explains how the effective use of the Soviet-supplied AT-3 Sagger (9M14 Malyutka) anti-tank missile allowed small Arab tank-killing teams to destroy Israeli armor at an astonishing rate. It also analyses the tank that opposed it, the US-built M60A1, which had to fight for survival against the Arab Saggers, and shows how in both the Sinai and the Golan Heights, the IDF quickly learned that firepower and infantry/artillery cooperation were the keys to their survival.
