RuoloCannone antiaereo

Il Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard ("carro armato di cannoni antiaereo Cheetah", meglio noto come Flakpanzer Gepard) è un cannone antiaereo semovente tedesco autonomo e resistente alle intemperie (SPAAG). È stato sviluppato negli anni '60 e messo in campo negli anni '70, ed è stato aggiornato più volte con l'elettronica più recente. Costituiva una pietra angolare della difesa aerea dell'esercito tedesco (Bundeswehr) e di una serie di altri paesi della NATO. In Germania, il Gepard è stato gradualmente eliminato alla fine del 2010 per essere sostituito da "SysFla", un sistema di difesa aerea mobile e fisso che utilizza il missile LFK NG e il nuovo sistema di cannoni MANTIS. La piattaforma mobile di SysFla sarà probabilmente basata sul GTK Boxer.

Variante olandese: Search radar: X band, 15 km range Tracking radar: X/Ka band, 13 km range The Dutch version was officially called the PRTL (PantserRupsTegenLuchtdoelen translating to “ArmourTrackAgainstAirtargets”), pronounced as “pruttel” (meaning ‘to sputter’) by the soldiers. The Dutch series version was made public through a photograph of a vehicle from a C-Company, the first to be equipped with the new weapon. Traditionally all Dutch vehicles in a company have names beginning with the company designation letter and this vehicle happened to have the individual name Cheetah painted in bold type on its turret. Inevitably the international press assumed “Cheetah” was the Dutch name for their Gepard version and this mistake found its way into most armour publications on the subject. In 2000 the Dutch military authorities, tired of constantly having to explain all this and considering “pruttle” was hardly a martial name anyway, conformed themselves to common error and made “Cheetah” the official designation, when the system was upgraded.

The RM-70 (raketomet vzor 1970) multiple rocket launcher is a Czechoslovakian army version and the heavier variant of the BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher, providing enhanced performance over its parent area-saturation artillery system that was introduced in 1971 (but the NATO designation is M1972). RM-70 was developed in Czechoslovakia as a successor for the RM-51, achieving initial operational capability with its Army in 1972. The launcher was being produced in Dubnica nad Váhom (Slovakia). Originally, it was sold to East Germany. After the Soviet Union collapse and the split of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, it was sold to several states in Africa, America, Asia and Europe.

The F11F/F-11 was used by the Blue Angels flight team from 1957–1969. Grumman Aircraft Corporation made 200 Tigers, with the last aircraft being delivered to the U.S. Navy on 23 January 1959.

The MOWAG Piranha is a family of armoured fighting vehicles designed by the Swiss company MOWAG (since April 2010 the name has changed to General Dynamics European Land Systems – Mowag GmbH). Five generations of vehicles have been produced, manufactured by Mowag or under licence by other companies, and variants are in service with military forces throughout the world. Piranhas are available in 4×4, 6×6, 8×8, and 10×10 wheel versions. There are several variants within these versions, giving different degrees of armour protection and several kinds of turret, for use in a variety of roles.

The MT-LB (Russian: Многоцелевой Тягач Легкий Бронированный, Mnogotselevoy Tyagach Logkiy Bronirovannyi / light multi-purpose armoured towing vehicle) is a Soviet multi-purpose fully amphibious auxiliary armoured tracked vehicle, which was first introduced in the late 1960s.

Official German designation: Sturmgeschutz (StuG) 8.8cm Pak43/2 (Ferdinand/Elefant) The StuG 8.8cm was based on the unsuccessful Porsche Tiger chassis fitted with a heavily armoured superstructure in the front and a mounted 8,8cm Pak 43/2 L/71 gun. A total of 90 vehicles were produced; they first saw combat in the Battle of Kursk (Operation Citadel). It was built in 1943 under the name Ferdinand, after its designer Ferdinand Porsche, but was soon renamed. After the Battle of Kursk, the remaining 48 vehicles were pulled out of service and given an overhaul. This included a ball-mount machine gun in the front along with a commander’s cupola. The name Elefant was soon decided upon. The vehicle was received with mixed feelings. It provided good protection with its thick armour but was severely unreliable in its mechanics due to the use of non-standard parts. Nevertheless, the Ferdinand/Elefant might well have been the most successful tank destroyer employed during the war, with a kills to losses ratio of approximately 10:1.

Pansarbandvagn 302 (Pbv 302) è un veicolo corazzato svedese ad alta mobilità sviluppato per soddisfare i requisiti operativi dell'esercito svedese. È stato progettato e prodotto da Hägglund e Söner a Örnsköldsvik (ora Hägglunds Vehicle AB). Il progetto fu commissionato nel 1961 in sostituzione del Pbv 301. La produzione durò dal 1966 al 1971. Il veicolo è stato aggiornato e continua in servizio limitato anche se la serie CV 90 è ora il veicolo da combattimento di fanteria standard in Svezia, utilizzato sia in patria che dalle forze svedesi all'estero.

Pansarbandvagn 301 (pbv 301), was a Swedish armoured personnel carrier used by the Swedish Army. It was a typical “battle taxi”, armed with a 20 mm Bofors gun from the scrapped J21-fighters and with room for transporting 8 fully armed soldiers. The pbv 301 was an interim solution, built on the chassis from the obsolete Stridsvagn m/41, introduced in 1961 and removed from service in the late 1960s and early 1970s when the replacement pbv 302 came into use. The pbv 301 replaced the open-topped KP-bil armoured car as the armoured troop transport in the Swedish Army.

Galleria fotografica di un Douglas F4D-1 (F-6A) Skyray, The Douglas F4D Skyray (later redesignated F-6 Skyray) was an American carrier-based supersonic fighter/interceptor built by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Although it was in service for a relatively short time and never entered combat, it was notable for being the first carrier-launched aircraft to hold the world’s absolute speed record, at 752.943 mph,[1] and was the first United States Navy and United States Marine Corps fighter that could exceed Mach 1 in level flight. It was the last fighter produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company before it merged with McDonnell Aircraft and became McDonnell Douglas. The F5D Skylancer was an advanced development of the F4D Skyray that did not go into service.

RuoloCaccia leggero
Primo voloRoma, 30 luglio 1959<
CostruitoOltre 2200

Le Northrop F-5A/B Freedom Fighter e F-5E/F Tiger II fanno parte di una famiglia di caccia leggeri supersonici, inizialmente progettata alla fine degli anni '50 dalla Northrop Corporation. Essendo più piccolo e più semplice dei contemporanei come il McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, l'F-5 costò meno sia per procurarsi che per operare, rendendolo un popolare aereo da esportazione. L'F-5 iniziò la sua vita come programma di caccia leggeri finanziato privatamente da Northrop negli anni '50. Il team di progettazione ha avvolto un piccolo caccia altamente aerodinamico attorno a due motori General Electric J85 compatti e ad alta spinta, concentrandosi sulle prestazioni e sul basso costo di manutenzione. Sebbene progettato principalmente per il ruolo di superiorità aerea del giorno, l'aereo è anche una piattaforma di attacco al suolo capace. L'F-5A entrò in servizio nei primi anni '60. Durante la Guerra Fredda, oltre 800 furono prodotti fino al 1972 per gli alleati statunitensi. Sebbene l'USAF non avesse riconosciuto la necessità di un caccia leggero, si procurava circa 1.200 aerei da addestramento Northrop T-38 Talon, che erano direttamente basati sull'F-5A.
