Более авторитетного и классического источника о танках в мире нет, поэтому интересны были бы статьи Джейнс о новинках, например, о русском Т-14 Армата, о выводах из недавней практики применения артиллерии в Донбассе, но увы. Других выпусков в свободной сети неизвестно (есть сохраненная электронная версия 2002 года, ее выложим тоже).
