Album van 16 foto's walk-around van een «SKP M-42»

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.

Fotogalerij van een Republiek F-84 Thunderjet, The Republic F-84 Thunderjet was an American turbojet fighter-bomber aircraft. Originating as a 1944 United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) proposal for a “day fighter”, the F-84 first flew in 1946. Although it entered service in 1947, the Thunderjet was plagued by so many structural and engine problems that a 1948 U.S. Air Force review declared it unable to execute any aspect of its intended mission and considered canceling the program. The aircraft was not considered fully operational until the 1949 F-84D model and the design matured only with the definitive F-84G introduced in 1951. In 1954, the straight-wing Thunderjet was joined by the swept-wing F-84F Thunderstreak fighter and RF-84F Thunderflash photo reconnaissance aircraft.
