Home›Armored Vehicles›OperatorBrowse ByOperatorThis dimension names the armed force that actually operates a specific weapon system. Wikipedia notes that weapons are used to "gain a tactical, strategic, material, or mental advantage over an adversary or enemy target," an advantage that only exists once a force actually fields the weapon. Browsing this way collects every weapon system operated by the same force.FactsOperatorSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1916 1OperatorFilter Results37 entriesWeapon ClassAllGuided Missile (9)Machine Gun (1)Rifle (4)Tank / Armored Vehicle (37)Weapon FamilyAllAnti-Tank Weapons and Mines (15)Armored Cars and Reconnaissance Vehicles (23)General Armored Fighting Vehicles (13)Infantry Fighting Vehicles and Armored Personnel Carriers (24)Tank Destroyers and Assault Guns (6)Tanks (26)Introduced EraAll1916 (1)1917 (1)1918 (2)1921 (1)1932 (1)1934 (1)1935 (2)1936 (2)1937 (3)1938 (1)1939 (4)1940 (7)1941 (14)1942 (4)1943 (4)1944 (9)1945 (3)1946 (1)1948 (2)1950 (2)1951 (4)1952 (12)1953 (4)1954 (3)1957 (1)1958 (2)1959 (7)1960 (7)1961 (5)1962 (6)1963 (8)1964 (1)1965 (2)1966 (5)1967 (2)1968 (1)1969 (3)1970 (5)1971 (4)1972 (10)1973 (3)1974 (1)1975 (1)1976 (2)1979 (4)1980 (6)1981 (2)1982 (1)1983 (1)1985 (3)1986 (3)1987 (4)1988 (1)1992 (3)1993 (1)1994 (2)1996 (1)1998 (2)1999 (2)2001 (1)2004 (1)2006 (1)2007 (3)2008 (3)2009 (3)2015 (1)2016 (1)2018 (1)2020 (1)2025 (1)ManufacturerAllAlkett (4)Alvis Car and Engineering Company Ltd (3)Alvis plc (1)American Locomotive Company (3)Arzamas Machine-Building Plant (6)Associated Equipment Company (1)Auto Union (1)Aérospatiale (4)BAE Systems (5)BAE Systems AB (1)BAE Systems Platforms & Services (2)Baldwin Locomotive Works (2)Bazalt (1)Bryansk Automobile Plant (1)Cadillac (3)Cestné a Stavebné Mechanizmy Tisovec (3)Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant (3)China North Industries Group Corporation Limited (1)Daimler Company (3)Daimler-Benz (4)Daimler-Benz AG (4)DASA (4)Degtyarev plant (3)Demag (1)Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant (3)Dodge (1)Elbit Systems Ltd.
