Fotogalerii 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.

Album 51 Jalutuskäigu fotod Schwimmwagen

2018. VW 166 Schwimmwagen oli Saksa amfiibauto, mida kasutati Teise maailmasõja ajal. Selle kerge maastikuauto 4X4 režiim on aktiivne ainult esimesel ja tagasikäigul. Kuna selle kliirens on üsna kõrge ja see masin saab kasu rullidega iselukustuvatest diferentsiaalidest, on see masin tõeline kõikehõlmav. Schwimmwageni kasutatakse peamiselt side- või luuresõidukina ning haavatute evakueerimise kiire vahendina.

Un embout d’hélice relevable permet de facilement basculer en mode amphibie, la propulsion dans l’eau se faisant uniquement en marche avant. Avec plus de 15000 unités construites entre 1941 et 1944 la Schwimmwagen est surement un des véhicules amphibie les plus produits de tous les temps.

Fotogalerii Inglise Elektriline 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.

Fotogalerii Convair B-58A Hustler, The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first operational supersonic jet bomber capable of Mach 2 flight. The aircraft was designed by Convair engineer Robert H. Widmer and developed for the United States Air Force for service in the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the 1960s. It used a delta wing, which was also employed by Convair fighters such as the F-102, with four General Electric J79 engines in pods under the wing. It carried five nuclear weapons; four on pylons under the wings, and one nuclear weapon and fuel in a combination bomb/fuel pod under the fuselage, rather than in an internal bomb bay.

TüüpPaagi taaskasutussõiduk

Fotogalerii M88A2 Heraklese taaskasutussõiduk, 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 on eelkäijatest veidi suurem (8,6 x 3,7 x 3,2 m võrreldes 8,3 x 3,4 x 3,2 m- ga), säilitades seega madalama tippkiiruse (40 km/h) ja oluliselt madalama teevahemiku (322 km võrreldes 450 km). Samuti on parandatud pidurdamist ja roolimist. Lisaks on M88A2 uuendanud turvisekaitset, sealhulgas soomustatud rööbasseelikuid ja aplikilisi armor paneele, mida mõlemal varasemal mudelil ei ole. M88-l puudub ka tuuma-, bioloogilise, keemilise (NBC) kaitsemehhanism ja suitsuekraani generaator, millega hilisemad M88A1 ja M88A2 mudelid on varustatud. Lisaks on meeskonna arv vähenenud seeria jooksul 5-lt 3-4-le 3-le.
