I%26#039;m trying to get a brief explanation of how planes,gas techniques, tanks- (world war 1), radars and anti-radars (world war 2), helicopters, chemical warfare (cold war)... i%26#039;m very confused. how has this kind of technology changed/improved since world war one. can you also include an example to compare with so that it is much easier to understand.|||The simple answer is that just about every weapon we use now is faster than the WW1 version. WW1 tanks went about 3 - 4 mph. Modern tanks can go 50 - 60 mph. A modern fighter jet can go over 10 times faster than a WW1 fighter airplane. Rifles in WW1 were bolt action, you had to move a bolt between each shot. Modern rifles are almost all automatic. They fire bullets much faster.
Radar and helicopters didn%26#039;t exits in WW1. Radar started just before World War 2, helicopters just after WW2. They did use poison gas (chemical warfare) in WW1, but it wasn%26#039;t a very effective weapon.
