Abstract(s)
Os Carros de Combate são um sistema de armas que garantem um grande poder de
fogo, mobilidade e choque. Estes meios, com o passar dos tempos, têm vindo a ser empregues nos mais variados teatros de operações, nomeadamente áreas urbanas. Face à realidade dos exércitos que empregam diariamente forças nestes teatros, retiramos aquelas que são as lições principais para que no futuro se possam colmatar possíveis falhas.
Neste estudo pretende-se analisar o emprego ao nível tático de um esquadrão de carros de combate em conflitos atuais, nomeadamente em ambiente urbano. Espera-se, pois, com esta investigação, contribuir mais eficazmente para a melhoria da utilização dos carros de combate em futuras operações nas áreas urbanas. Para esse efeito, foi necessário recorrer a uma metodologia científica das ciências sociais e das normas para redação de trabalhos escritos da Academia Militar. Seguiu-se o método dedutivo que, a partir de ideias gerais permite chegar a conclusões, tendo-se realizado, para esse propósito, uma análise qualitativa baseada em estudos de caso bem como uma entrevista.
Através desta análise, é possível verificar que o combate em áreas edificadas nunca
deve ser levado a efeito com unidades puras de carros de combate e há que ter em conta
que a sua articulação depende sempre dos fatores de decisão militar.
Este trabalho permite concluir que o emprego de unidades de carros de combate é
de extrema importância para as forças no terreno, devendo ser sempre feito em apoio a unidades de infantaria.
Abstract Main Battle Tanks are a Weapon Systems that provide a great power of fire, mobility and shock. These means, in the course of time, are being employed in the most varied theaters, namely in urban areas. Given the reality of the armies that employ these forces daily theaters, we conclude that those are the main lessons so that in the future we can bridge possible faults. In this study it is intended to analyze the employ at the tactical level of a Tank Squadron in current conflicts, namely in urban environment. We hope with this investigation, to contribute with a more effective way of employ of tanks in urban areas in future operations. Existing this need of investigation, it was necessary to resort to a scientific methodology of social sciences and drafting standards for written work of the Military Academy. From this methodology it comes the deductive method, starting with general ideas and reaching new conclusions, as well as a qualitative analysis based on case studies and an interview. Through this methodology, we can see that the combat in urban areas should never be done with pure units of tanks, as well as its relationship always depends on the factors of military decision. This work concludes that the use of units of tanks is extremely important for forces on the ground, and it should always be done in support of infantry units. It is concluded that, in the case of the squadron of tanks from the Portuguese army, there is no capability from these to be employed in theaters of operation in question.
