Teh Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber carries up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons. Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946, the B-52 design evolved from a straight-wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB-52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. Although a veteran of several wars, the Stratofortress has dropped only conventional munitions in combat.

The ROKS-2 and ROKS-3 were man-portable flamethrowers used by the USSR in the Second World War. The ROKS-2 was designed not to draw attention so the fuel tank was designed to be easy to conceal within a knapsack, and the fuel pipe designed to resemble a rifle. ROKS-3 was a simplified design and had a regular cylindrical fuel tank. The Finnish designation for captured ROKS-2 units was M/41-r. Roks-2 were used, amongst other engagements, during the close-range fighting during the first days of the battle of Kursk in 1943.

Κύρια δεξαμενή μάχης

ΚατασκευαστήςΛέιλαντ Μότορς

Το FV 4201 Οπλαρχηγός ήταν το κύριο άρμα μάχης του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου κατά τη διάρκεια των δεκαετιών του 1960 και του 1970. Ήταν ένα από τα πιο προηγμένα άρματα μάχης της εποχής του και κατά την εισαγωγή του το 1966 είχε το πιο ισχυρό κύριο όπλο και την πιο αποτελεσματική θωράκιση από οποιοδήποτε τανκ στον κόσμο. Ο Chieftain εισήγαγε επίσης μια ύπτια (ανακλινόμενη προς τα πίσω) θέση οδηγού, επιτρέποντας ένα βαριά κεκλιμένο κύτος με μειωμένο ύψος.

Willys Jeep and Trailer

Ένα μοντέλο της μάρκας Αερόφωτο το κιτ: Willys Jeep and Trailer – Airfix A01322.

The ultimate utilty vehicle in WWII was the Willys Jeep. Due to the huge demand Ford was contracted to produce them as well. The Ford car was then designated GPW, with the “W” referring to the “Willys” licensed design. During World War II, Willys produced 363,000 Jeeps and Ford some 280,000. Approximately 51,000 were exported to the U.S.S.R. under the Lend-Lease program. A top speed of 65mph and a lightweight construction enabled it to operate in many locations unsuited to other vehicles.

It soon became highly valued as the only British tank capable of defeating the Panther and Tiger tanks it faced in Normandy at standard combat ranges. The Forces of Valor® replica is of a U.K. Sherman Firefly as seen in Normandy in 1944.

A total of 195 Cougars were originally procured to equip Regular and Reserve armoured units. Following the acquisition of the Coyote as a part of the 1999 Army Equipment Rationalisation Plan, the Cougar fleet was reduced to 100 vehicles – to be exclusively employed by Reserve armoured units. The AVGP fleet is currently undergoing a service life-extension program to increase its reliability, supportability and commonality with the Bison and Coyote fleets. Number in service: Cougar – 100, Grizzly – 274, Husky – 27.
