De Scout Tank Lynx (English: Lynx) is a German 8×8 amphibious reconnaissance armoured fighting vehicle (Spähpanzer) in service since 1975 with the German Army, who used 408 in their armoured reconnaissance battalions. It was developed by Daimler-Benz between 1968 and 1975, replacing the M41 and the Schützenpanzer SPz 11-2 Kurz. The all-wheel drive Luchs made by Thyssen-Henschel (now: Rheinmetall) is well armoured, has an NBC protection system and is characterized by its low-noise running. The eight large low-pressure tyres have run-flat properties. At speeds up to about 50 km/h, all four axles can be steered. As a special feature, the vehicle is equipped with a rear-facing driver with his own driving position. Up to the first combat effectiveness upgrade in 1986, the Luchs was fully amphibious and could surmount water obstacles quickly and independently using propellers at the rear and the fold back trim vane at the front.

Fotogalerij van een Koninklijke Vliegtuigfabriek BE2A, The Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2 was a British single-engine tractor two-seat biplane which was in service with the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) from 1912 until the end of World War I. About 3,500 were built. Initially used as front-line reconnaissance aircraft and light bombers; variants of the type were also used as night fighters. Like many warplanes since, the B.E.2 was retained in front-line service long after it had become obsolete, for want of a suitable replacement. After its belated withdrawal it finally served as a trainer, communications aircraft and on anti-submarine coastal patrol duties.

Fotogalerij van een SKP M-42, Terrängbil m/42 KP (Tgbil m/42 SKP/VKP), meaning “Off-road vehicle 42” with a secondary designation of “Scania, Bodywork: Armoured” or “Volvo, Bodywork: Armoured”, was the Swedish army’s first armoured personnel carrier, developed as a stop-gap measure during World War II. In 1941, when tanks were organized into a unit of their own, it was clear there was a desperate need for a troop carrier able to both keep up with the tanks and provide protection against artillery shrapnel and small-arms fire. Due to the war there were no international suppliers to buy from, so the only option was to develop a domestic solution. AB Landsverk designed an APC consisting of a chassis from a regular army lorry equipped with an armoured shell.

Fotogalerij van een Tatra 813 Kolos, Tatra T813 was a truck produced in Czechoslovakia by the Tatra company. The first prototype already built in 1960 utilized existing Tatra T138 assemblies in 4×4 full-time all-wheel drive, which was also another first for Tatra. After the initial trials however the designers decided to develop and expand the concepts onto 8×8 all-wheel-drive all-terrain vehicle. The basis of the design thus became the modular chassis of T813. Successor is the Tatra T815 model.

Album van 23 foto's walk-around van een «Merkava Howitzer Sholef»

Fotogalerij van een Merkava Houwitser Sholef, Two prototypes of Sholef (“Slammer”, Hebrew slang for “Gunslinger”) 155 mm self-propelled howitzer with automatic loading system were built by Soltam in 1984–1986. The 45-ton vehicle had a long 155 mm gun barrel giving a range of 45+ km. Using GPS, inertial navigation, and an internal fire control computer, it was also capable of direct fire while on the move. It never entered production. The Slammer is a heavily armored artillery gun mounted on a modified Merkava Mk 1 chassis. Many of these vehicles are Merkava Mk 1 that were retired after the Merkava Mk 2 and Merkava Mk 3 came into service. The Slammer has a long 52-caliber gun barrel that allows +10% range. Reload speed may be decreased to 1 for one minute every 10 minutes through use of an automatic loader. Ammunition racks are large. The Slammer is ready for autonomous operation (without an FDC) if the target’s location is known within 15 seconds of a halt, using GPS, inertial navigation, and an internal fire control computer. The Slammer 155 mm self-propelled howitzer is based on a modified Merkava MBT chassis fitted with a new welded steel turret, designed by Soltam Systems. Development commenced in the 1970s. The project was considered of high national priority and incorporated the newest technological developments. Instead the Israeli Defense Forces selected an upgraded version of American M109 howitzer.

De 25pdr SP, gevolgd, Koster was een zelfrijdend artillerievoertuig uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het was gebaseerd op in Canada gebouwde versies van het Amerikaanse M3 Lee en M4 Sherman tankchassis, dat in Canada in productie ging als de Ram en Grizzly. Toen de Sherman-productie in de VS zich uitbreidde en de bevoorrading niet langer een probleem was, werd in 1943 besloten om de Canadese productielijnen te veranderen om de Sexton te produceren om het Britse leger een mobiel artilleriekanon te geven met behulp van hun Ordnance QF 25 ponder kanon-houwitser, die een 87,6 mm (3,45 inch) 11,5 kg (25 lb) HE-granaat of een pantserdoorborende granaat kon afvuren. Het vond gebruik in het Canadese en Britse leger, evenals tal van andere Britse Rijk en aanverwante krachten. Net na de oorlog werden een aantal Grizzly en Sextons verkocht aan Portugal, die ze in de jaren 1980 gebruikten.

De Noord-Amerikaanse F-86 Sabel, ook wel de Sabrejet genoemd, was een transonische straaljager. Geproduceerd door North American Aviation, is de Sabre vooral bekend als de eerste geveegde vleugelvechter van de Verenigde Staten die de eveneens gevleugelde Sovjet MiG-15 kon tegengaan in snelle hondengevechten boven de lucht van de Koreaanse oorlog (1950-1953). Beschouwd als een van de beste en belangrijkste gevechtsvliegtuigen in die oorlog, wordt de F-86 ook hoog gewaardeerd in vergelijking met gevechtsvliegtuigen uit andere tijdperken. Hoewel het werd ontwikkeld in de late jaren 1940 en verouderd was tegen het einde van de jaren '50, bleek de Sabre veelzijdig en aanpasbaar, en bleef het als frontliniejager in tal van luchtmachten totdat de laatste actieve operationele voorbeelden in 1994 door de Boliviaanse luchtmacht werden teruggetrokken.
