el Cañón de defensa aérea de 85 mm M1939 (52-K) was an 85-mm Soviet air defense gun, developed under guidance of leading Soviet designers M. N. Loginov and G. D. Dorokhin. This gun was successfully used throughout the German-Soviet War against level bombers and other high- and medium-altitude targets. In emergencies they were utilized as powerful anti-tank weapons. The barrel of 52-K was the base for the family of 85-mm Soviet tank guns. Crews of 85-mm AD guns shot down 4,047 Axis aircraft. The mean quantity of 85-mm ammunition required to shoot down one enemy plane was 598 rounds. After the war some 52-Ks were refitted for peaceful purposes as anti-avalanche guns in a mountainous terrain. Virtually every country behind the Iron Curtain received this gun after World War II for their air defense. In the Soviet Union itself, these guns were largely superseded by the 100 and 130 mm guns./p>

La aviación norteamericana P-51 Mustang was an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II, the Korean War and other conflicts. The Mustang was conceived, designed and built by North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a specification issued directly to NAA by the British Purchasing Commission. The prototype NA-73X airframe was rolled out on 9 September 1940, 102 days after the contract was signed and, with an engine installed, first flew on 26 October. The Mustang was originally designed to use the Allison V-1710 engine, which had limited high-altitude performance. It was first flown operationally by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a tactical-reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber. The addition of the Rolls-Royce Merlin to the P-51B/C model transformed the Mustang’s performance at altitudes above 15,000 ft, giving it a performance that matched or bettered the majority of the Luftwaffe’s fighters at altitude. The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin 60 series two-stage two-speed supercharged engine, and armed with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns.

CountryGermany
TypeLight half-track gun tractor
In service1941–1945

el SdKfz 2, más conocido como el Kleines Kettenkraftrad HK 101 o Kettenkrad para abreviar (donde Ketten significa "cadena" o "pistas" y krad es la abreviatura militar de la palabra alemana Kraftrad, el término administrativo alemán para motocicleta), comenzó su vida como un tractor ligero para las tropas aerotransportadas. El vehículo fue diseñado para ser entregado por aviones Junkers Ju 52, aunque no en paracaídas. El vehículo tenía la ventaja de ser el único tractor de armas lo suficientemente pequeño como para caber dentro de la bodega del Ju 52, y era el vehículo militar alemán de producción masiva más ligero para utilizar el complejo Schachtellaufwerk superpuesto e intercalado ruedas de carretera utilizadas en casi todos los vehículos militares alemanes de media pista de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

el Jagdpanzer IV, Sd.Kfz. 162, fue un cazacarros alemán basado en el chasis Panzer IV y construido en tres variantes principales. Como uno de los diseños de Jagdpanzer (cazacarros, literalmente "tanque de caza") sin torretas de estilo casamata, fue desarrollado en contra de los deseos de Heinz Guderian, el inspector general del Panzertruppen, como reemplazo del Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III). Guderian se opuso a la innecesaria, a sus ojos, desviación de recursos de la producción de tanques Panzer IV, ya que el Sturmgeschütz III todavía era más que adecuado para su papel.

Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) is a six-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle used by the USMC and US Navy. It is designed to replace the old M939 tactical trucks, and was first fielded in 1998, after the contract was awarded to Oshkosh Truck Corporation. The MTVR comes in several variants, for a wide spectrum of tasks. It offers a major improvement in off-road capability. The MTVR is often referred to as a 7-Ton as this denotes the vehicle’s off-road cargo capacity. The MTVR’s maximum payload on paved surfaces is 15 tons. The MTVR is the Marine Corps prime mover for the M777 howitzer, fuel and water assets, troops and a wide variety of equipment. Its wide versatility and off-road capability make the MTVR an integral part of the Marine Corps logistical backbone.
