2007 Ilyushin Il-28 (Vene keeles: Илью́шин Ил-28; NATO teatel on Beagle) on vahetult sõjajärgse perioodi reaktiivpommitaja, mis oli algselt toodetud Nõukogude õhujõududele. See oli Nõukogude Liidu esimene selline lennuk, mis sisenes suuremahulisse tootmisse. See oli ka litsentsiga ehitatud Hiinas kui Harbin H-5. NSV Liidus toodeti kokku 6316 lennukit ja ehitati üle 319 H-5 lennuki. HJ-5 koolitusvariandist toodeti vaid 187 näidet. 1990. aastatel jäid sajad inimesed erinevate õhujõudude teenistusse üle 50 aasta pärast Il-28 esmakordset ilmumist. Ainsad praegu kasutusel olevad H-5 lennukid on umbes 80 lennukit, mis töötavad koos Korea rahva õhujõududega. Il-28-l on USAF/DoD aruandlusnimi "Tüüp 27" ja NATO aruandlusnimi "Beagle", samas kui Il-28U koolitaja variandil on USAF/DoD aruandlusnimi "Tüüp 30" ja NATO aruandlusnimi Mascot.

2007 Bristol Bloodhound is a British ramjet powered surface-to-air missile developed during the 1950s. It served as the UK’s main air defence weapon into the 1990s and was in large-scale service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the forces of four other countries. Part of sweeping changes to the UK’s defence posture, the Bloodhound was intended to protect the RAF’s V bomber bases to preserve the deterrent force, attacking bombers that made it past the Lightning interceptor force. Bloodhound Mk. I entered service in December 1958, the first British guided weapon to enter full operational service. This was part of Stage 1 upgrades to the defensive systems, in the later Stage 2, both Bloodhound and the fighters would be replaced by a longer-range missile code named Blue Envoy. When this was ultimately cancelled in 1957, parts of its design were worked into Bloodhound Mk. II, roughly doubling the range of the missile. The Mk. I began to be replaced by the Mk. II starting in 1964.

These aircraft did not serve long as they were underpowered and they were soon sent to Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas and relegated to be ground instructional trainers until retired in 1955 and declared surplus. Most of the surplus aircraft were purchased by Frank Ambrose and sold to bush operators in South and Central America.

RolliKerge poolrada
Toodetud1938–45
Ehitatud9000+

2007 Sd.Kfz. 11 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug – special motorized vehicle) was a German half-track that saw widespread use in World War II. Its main role was as a prime mover for medium towed guns ranging from the 3.7 cm FlaK 43 anti-aircraft gun up to the 10.5 cm leFH 18 field howitzer. It could carry eight troops in addition to towing a gun or trailer. The basic engineering for all the German half-tracks was developed during the Weimar-era by the Reichswehr’s Military Automotive Department, but final design and testing was farmed out to commercial firms with the understanding that production would be shared with multiple companies. Borgward was chosen to develop the second smallest of the German half-tracks and built a series of prototypes between 1934 and 1937. However development was taken over in 1938 by Hanomag who designed the main production version, H kl 6.

2007 Sonderkraftfahrzeug 8 ("spetsiaalne motoriseeritud sõiduk 8") oli Saksa poolrada, mis oli II maailmasõjas laialdaselt kasutusel. Selle peamised rollid olid raskete pukseeritavate relvade, nagu 21 cm Mörser 18, 15 cm Kanone 18 ja 10,5 cm FlaK 38, peamine liikuja, kuid see oli võimeline teenima ka jalaväe transpordina. Aastatel 1938–1945 toodeti umbes 4,000. Seda kasutati igas kampaanias, mida sakslased II maailmasõjas võitlesid, eriti Poola sissetung, Prantsusmaa lahing, Balkani kampaania, idarinne, Põhja-Aafrika kampaania, Normandia lahing ja Itaalia kampaania.

2007 Bushmaster 2000 oli väike pendellennuk, mis ehitati Ameerika Ühendriikides, püüdes taaselustada Ford Trimotori disaini. Töö algas 1953. aastal vintage Trimotori testimisega ja 1954. aastal ostis Bill Stout algse Trimotori disainiõigused. "Ford Tri-Motor" litsentsimisprobleemide tõttu anti Ford 15-AT-D-le Bushmaster 2000 nimi. 15. jaanuaril 1955 teatasid Stout ja partner Robert Hayden Hayden Aircraft Corporationist, et kavatsevad ehitada 1,000 uut Bushmasterit, kuid kulus üksteist aastat, enne kui uue disaini esimene prototüüp lendas.
