A Tank Destroyer is a type of military vehicle specifically designed to combat enemy tanks. These vehicles are typically armed with powerful cannons or anti-tank missiles and are built to be highly mobile. They can operate independently or as part of a larger armored unit, providing support in ground warfare. Tank destroyers can be wheeled or tracked and often have a lower profile than traditional tanks, making them harder to spot. They were notably used during World War II, with famous examples including the M10 Wolverine and Jagdpanther, showcasing their effectiveness in countering armored threats on the battlefield.
