US joins other NATO allies in ‘Iron Spear’ tank competition

Since their first appearance on the battlefield, tanks have been a centerpiece of modern warfare. This week, NATO member countries are showing what their tank teams can do in a competition called “Iron Spear.” The four-day competition is taking place at the Adazi base in Latvia, about 200 kilometers from the Russian border. 34 crews from 13 NATO countries including the U.S., Canada, Germany and Great Britain are taking part in a series of day and night exercises. The competition is designed to test the striking force and maneuverability of tanks. There is growing concern tanks may soon be obsolete with the advancement of anti-tank weapons like U.S. made Javelins and HIMARS.
