Opel Blitz | |

| Land | Nazi-Duitsland |
| Type | Vrachtwagen voor algemeen gebruik |
| Productie | 1930–1975 |
Fotogalerij van een Opel Blitz, Opel Blitz (German for “lightning”) was the name given to various German light and middle-weight truck series built by the German Opel automobile manufacturer between 1930 and 1975. The original logo for this truck, two stripes arranged loosely like a lightning symbol in the form of a horizontally stretched letter “Z”, still appears in the current Opel logo. From 1939, the reliable Blitz 3.6 three-ton version was used in large numbers by the German Wehrmacht armed forces throughout World War II. Derived variants included an elongated version and the four-wheel drive Blitz A. To cope with the bad road conditions and the rasputitsa mud seasons on the Eastern Front, a half-tracked Maultier (mule) SdKfz 3 version was built using tracks and suspension based on the Universal Carrier. Among others, these were used as service vehicles for the Messerschmitt Me 323 military transport aircraft. It is also claimed that Opel, a subsidiary of GM, used forced labor to reap unprecedented profits. To what degree GM controlled Opel at the time is subject to debate, but it is clear that GM did in fact play a role in giving Nazi Germany the Opel Blitz truck

In early 1948, the cabs were made of wood, soon replaced with a steel cab. Tens of thousands were produced, including specialized versions for hauling different types of cargo. The Soviets also found the trucks an ideal platform for BM-13 Katyusha rocket launchers.

De Sukhoi Zo-7 (NAVO-aanduiding naam: Fitter-A) was een geveegd vleugel, supersonisch gevechtsvliegtuig ontwikkeld door de Sovjet-Unie in 1955. Oorspronkelijk was het ontworpen als tactische, low-level dogfighter, maar was niet succesvol in deze rol. Aan de andere kant werd de snel geïntroduceerde Su-7B-serie de belangrijkste Sovjet-jachtbommenwerper en grondaanvalsvliegtuig van de jaren 1960. De Su-7 was robuust in zijn eenvoud, maar zijn tekortkomingen omvatten korte afstand en lage wapenbelasting.
