Fotogalerij van een SA.318C Alouette II, The Aérospatiale Alouette II is a light helicopter originally manufactured by Sud Aviation and later Aérospatiale, both of France. The Alouette II was the first production helicopter to use a gas turbine engine instead of the conventional heavier piston powerplant. The Alouette II was mostly used for military purposes in observation, photography, air-sea rescue, liaison and training, but it has also carried anti-tank missiles and homing torpedoes. As a civilian helicopter it was used for casualty evacuation (with two external stretcher panniers), crop-spraying and as a flying crane, with a 500-kilogram (1,100 lb) external underslung load.

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.

Like its successors, the S.VII was renowned as a sturdy and rugged aircraft with good climbing and diving characteristics. It was also a stable gun platform, although pilots used to the more manoeuvrable Nieuport fighters found it heavy on the controls. It was flown by a number of the famous aces, such as France’s Georges Guynemer, Italy’s Francesco Baracca and Australia’s Alexander Pentland.

Fotogalerij van een Saab J-29F Tunnan, The Saab 29, colloquially called Flygande tunnan (English: “The flying barrel”), was a Swedish fighter designed and manufactured by Saab in the 1940s. It was Sweden’s second turbojet-powered combat aircraft, the first being the Saab 21R; additionally, it was the first Western European fighter to be produced with a swept wing after the Second World War, the Me 262 being the first during the war. Despite its rotund appearance, from which its name derives, the J 29 was a fast and agile aircraft for its era. It served effectively in both fighter and fighter-bomber roles into the 1970s.

Fotogalerij van een 76 mm divisiekanon M1939, The 76-mm divisional gun M1939 (F-22 USV or USV) (Russian: 76-мм дивизионная пушка обр. 1939 г. (Ф-22 УСВ or УСВ)) was a 76.2 mm cannon produced in the Soviet Union. It was adopted for Red Army service in 1939 and used extensively in World War II. The gun was designated as “divisional” – issued to batteries under the direct control of division headquarters. The F-22 USV was an intermediate model, coming between the F-22, which had limited anti-aircraft capability, and the simpler and cheaper ZiS-3, which eventually replaced it in production and service.

Fotogalerij van een VT-34, The T-34 medium tank is one of the most-produced and longest-lived tanks of all time. Identification of T-34 variants can be complicated. Turret castings, superficial details, and equipment differed between factories; new features were added in the middle of production runs, or retrofitted to older tanks; damaged tanks were rebuilt, sometimes with the addition of newer-model equipment and even new turrets. Some tanks had appliqué armor made of scrap steel of varying thickness welded onto the hull and turret; these tanks are called s ekranami (“with screens”), although this was never an official designation for any T-34 variant. T-34 model 1941 s ekranami, manufactured at STZ, with appliqué armour welded to the hull.
