Fotogaléria Húfnice Merkava 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.

25pdr SP, sledované, Sexton bolo samohybné delostrelecké vozidlo druhej svetovej vojny. Bol založený na kanadských verziách amerického tankového podvozku M3 Lee a M4 Sherman, ktoré vstúpili do výroby v Kanade ako Ram a Grizzly. Keď sa výroba Shermanu v USA rozšírila a dodávka už nebola problémom, v roku 1943 bolo rozhodnuté zmeniť kanadské výrobné linky na výrobu Sextonu, aby britská armáda získala mobilnú delostreleckú zbraň pomocou svojej húfnice Ordnance QF 25, ktorá by mohla vystreliť 87, 6 mm (3, 45 palca) 11, 5 kg (25 lb) HE granát alebo pancierový náboj. Našiel uplatnenie v kanadskej a britskej armáde, ako aj v mnohých ďalších britských impériách a pridružených silách. Tesne po vojne bolo niekoľko Grizzly a Sextonov predaných Portugalsku, ktoré ich používalo do roku 1980.

Komisia Severoamerický F-86 Sabre, niekedy nazývané Sabrejet, bolo transonické prúdové stíhacie lietadlo. Sabre, ktorý vyrobila spoločnosť North American Aviation, je najlepšie známy ako prvý americký bojovník s krídlami, ktorý by mohol čeliť podobne okrídlenému sovietskemu MiG-15 vo vysokorýchlostných psích zápasoch o oblohu kórejskej vojny (1950–1953). F-86, považovaný za jedno z najlepších a najdôležitejších stíhacích lietadiel v tejto vojne, je tiež vysoko hodnotený v porovnaní so stíhačkami iných období. Hoci bol vyvinutý koncom 1940. rokov a do konca 50. rokov bol zastaraný, Sabre sa ukázal ako všestranný a prispôsobivý a pokračoval ako bojovník v prvej línii v mnohých vzdušných silách, až kým posledné aktívne operačné príklady neboli vyradené bolívijským letectvom v roku 1994.

Fotogaléria Republika 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.

PostavenýNeznáme

Fotogaléria RSO M 75mm PAK, Raupenschlepper Ost, literally “Caterpillar Tractor East”, is more commonly abbreviated to RSO. This fully tracked, lightweight vehicle was conceived in response to the poor performance of wheeled and half-tracked vehicles in the mud and snow during the Wehrmacht’s first autumn and winter on the Soviet Front. The RSO was a contemporary with somewhat similar Allied full-tracked small artillery tractors in use in other armies (such as the Soviet STZ-5 “Stalingradec”, and the U.S. Army’s own M4 Tractor), mostly originated from the pre-war light to medium series of Vickers artillery tractors. Two variants of this vehicle were built: the basic cargo carrier, and a self-propelled antitank vehicle armed with a PaK 40 gun. Both shared the same chassis.

Fotogaléria Rooikat, The Rooikat (Afrikaans for “Caracal”; literally “Red cat”) is a wheeled armoured fighting vehicle built in South Africa for the South African Army. It was designed for combat reconnaissance and seek and destroy operations. Its secondary roles include combat support, anti-armour and anti-guerrilla operations. The Rooikat is intended for deep penetration missions, so the wheeled design was needed for speed and to counter sandy desert conditions that might slow tracked vehicles.

Fotogaléria Tanketa Renault UE, The Renault UE Chenillette was a light tracked armoured carrier and prime mover produced by France between 1932 and 1940. In 1930 the French Infantry decided to develop a light armoured vehicle able to tow and supply small cannon and mortars. In 1931 the Renault company was given the contract for production of its Renault UE, combined with the Renault UK trailer. In 1937, from a number of competitors, the Renault UE2 was chosen as an improved type for large-scale production. Of both types combined over five thousand were built, including licence production in Romania, and they were part of the standard equipment of all French infantry divisions. Most Renault UE vehicles in French service were unarmed; those in 1940 captured by Germany were used for a variety of purposes, including being armed with machine-guns, antitank-guns and rocket artillery.
