They carry heavy ordinance weaponry and protect it with thick armour.
Think tanks are used for developing and researching an ideology or political perspective, both theoretically and how to apply it to real world scenarios. Although obviously in bourgeois society, bourgeois ideology is going to get the most investment for development, they are not necessarily all bourgeois.
For example, The Tricontinental is a sort of Think Tank, though it goes by "Institute for Social Research". It develops geopolitical research and thought from a Marxist perspective.
Though what is usually referred to as a think tank is things like the Hoover Institute, which provide cover for imperialism and neoliberalism.
If you want to delve deeper, look up Marx's "dominant ideology " concept and Gramsci's "hegemony". Think tanks are research institutions that serve the explicit and intentional goal of struggling in the battleground of cultural hegemony.
