Historical Development of Combat Vehicles for Mechanized Infantry

Rad se bavi tematikom vozila u ustrojstvu postrojbi mehaniziranog pješaštva. Specifično je riječ o njihovom povijesnom razvoju od prvih namjenskih sredstava do današnjih modernih, visoko razvijenih vozila na kotačima i gusjenicama. Objašnjeno je zašto su ista konstruirana na određeni način te kako je njihova uporaba utjecala na promjenu načina ratovanja. Za lakše shvaćanje samog razvoja u radu se za usporedbu spominju i druga vozila kao što su tenkovi. Za sva vozila s dostupnim podatcima su također ponuđene tablice s tehničkim podatcima.The paper deals with the topic of armored vehicles in the organization of mechanised infantry units. Specifically, it is about their historical development from the first primitive vehicles to today's modern, highly developed vehicles on wheels and tracks. It also explains why they were constructed in a certain way and how their use influenced the way wars were fought. To make it easier to understand the development of said vehicles, others, such as tanks, are mentioned in the paper for comparison. Technical dana sheets are also offered for all vehicles with avalible data
