The most pitched tank battle in the history of warfare was fought not against the Nazis in Europe or North Africa but just 30 years ago, in the desert of Iraq.
Operation Desert Sabre, the four-day ground offensive of the six-week military operation known as Desert Storm, involved a fierce tank-against-tank campaign that outstripped even World War II’s savage battle of Kursk, which saw some 6,000 German and Soviet tanks battle over a grueling six-week period.
“Kursk was bigger if you consider the entire campaign,” says retired colonel and historian Gregory Fontenot, who commanded a tank battalion in what was perhaps Desert Storm’s most intense few hours an overnight free-for-all that participants later called Fright Night.

As 2020 comes to a close – good riddance, many will say – we look back on the main stories of this challenging year.
A tough 12 months, but signs of hope
This time last year we reported how Canon, Nikon and other big makers were facing tough times owing to the DSLR market contraction, the US/China trade spat and the economic slowdown in Europe and China. In comparison to the pandemic, these challenges seem relatively manageable. We’ll be looking in more detail how Covid-19 has affected specific camera and lens makers on page 10, but here are some sobering figures from the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) in Japan. From January to September 2020, 1.56 million DSLR units were shipped, down 54% year on year. As for mirrorless, 1.81 million units have been shipped so far this year, which is down 34% (unit sales of compacts dropped 51%). Meanwhile, unit sales of lenses wider than 35mm fell 45%, and 34% for lenses at or longer than 35mm.
