Fotogalerie eines M923 Guntruck, This medium cargo truck of the 5 ton category, is representative of today’s generation of logistical vehicles of the U.S. Forces. It entered service in the early eighties. The M-923 has an extremely sturdy structure and excellent off-road features, which are necessary to secure the flow of material to the front line combat units. Based on this chassis many versions have been produced: wrecking trucks, tank trucks, mobile maintenance and communication trucks. The A-1 version is characteristic because of its large off-road tires which have earned it the nick-name “big-foot”. During its operational use, and in particular in the most recent military campaigns in which it was employed as Iraq and Afghanistan, the “Big Foot” has often been modified with the addition of “home made” protections to reduce the damages caused by the fire of light weapons. However, the personalization of the vehicles, made “on field” by the crews, were possible thanks to the excellent platform offered by-M-923 trucks.

Fotogalerie eines Englisch Electric Canberra Mk.20, The English Electric Canberra is a British first-generation jet-powered medium bomber that was manufactured during the 1950s. It was developed by English Electric during the mid-to-late 1940s in response to a 1944 Air Ministry requirement for a successor to the wartime de Havilland Mosquito fast-bomber; amongst the performance requirements for the type was the demand for an outstanding high altitude bombing capability in addition to flying at high speeds, these were partly accomplished by making use of newly-developed jet propulsion technology. When the Canberra was introduced to service with the Royal Air Force (RAF), the type’s first operator, in May 1951, it became the service’s first jet-powered bomber aircraft.

TypTank Recovery Vehicle

Fotogalerie eines M88A2 Hercules Bergungsfahrzeug, The M88 Recovery Vehicle is one of the largest armored recovery vehicles (ARV) currently in use by United States Armed Forces. There are currently three variants, the M88, M88A1 and M88A2 HERCULES (Heavy Equipment Recovery Combat Utility Lifting Extraction System). The M88 series has seen action most noticeably in the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, the Iraq War, and the War in Afghanistan, and to a lesser extent during the Kosovo War, where they were deployed to help recover heavy armored vehicles of the Allied ground units. The current M88A2 replacement cost is around US$2,050,000. The M88A2 ist etwas größer als seine Vorgänger (8,6 x 3,7 x 3,2 m im Vergleich zu 8,3 x 3,4 x 3,2 m) und behält somit eine niedrigere Höchstgeschwindigkeit (40 km/h) und eine deutlich geringere Straßenreichweite (322 km im Vergleich zu 450 km). Auch beim Bremsen und Lenken gab es Verbesserungen. Darüber hinaus verfügt der M88A2 über einen verbesserten Panzerschutz, einschließlich gepanzerter Schienenschürzen und Applikationspanzerungsplatten, die beiden Vorgängermodellen fehlen. Dem M88 fehlt es auch an nuklearer, biologischer, chemischer (ABC) Abwehr und einem Nebelschutzgenerator, mit dem die späteren Modelle M88A1 und M88A2 ausgestattet sind. Darüber hinaus ist die Besatzungszahl durch die Serie von 5 auf 3-4 auf 3 gesunken.
