Fotogalleri av en Engelska Electric Canberra Mk.20, The English Electric Canberra is a British first-generation jet-powered medium bomber that was manufactured during the 1950s. It was developed by English Electric during the mid-to-late 1940s in response to a 1944 Air Ministry requirement for a successor to the wartime de Havilland Mosquito fast-bomber; amongst the performance requirements for the type was the demand for an outstanding high altitude bombing capability in addition to flying at high speeds, these were partly accomplished by making use of newly-developed jet propulsion technology. When the Canberra was introduced to service with the Royal Air Force (RAF), the type’s first operator, in May 1951, it became the service’s first jet-powered bomber aircraft.

Fotogalleri av en Convair B-58A Hustler, The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first operational supersonic jet bomber capable of Mach 2 flight. The aircraft was designed by Convair engineer Robert H. Widmer and developed for the United States Air Force for service in the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the 1960s. It used a delta wing, which was also employed by Convair fighters such as the F-102, with four General Electric J79 engines in pods under the wing. It carried five nuclear weapons; four on pylons under the wings, and one nuclear weapon and fuel in a combination bomb/fuel pod under the fuselage, rather than in an internal bomb bay.

TypTank recovery fordon

Fotogalleri av en M88A2 Hercules bärgningsfordon, The M88 Recovery Vehicle is one of the largest armored recovery vehicles (ARV) currently in use by United States Armed Forces. There are currently three variants, the M88, M88A1 and M88A2 HERCULES (Heavy Equipment Recovery Combat Utility Lifting Extraction System). The M88 series has seen action most noticeably in the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, the Iraq War, and the War in Afghanistan, and to a lesser extent during the Kosovo War, where they were deployed to help recover heavy armored vehicles of the Allied ground units. The current M88A2 replacement cost is around US$2,050,000. The M88A2 är något större än sina föregångare (8,6 x 3,7 x 3,2 m jämfört med 8,3 x 3,4 x 3,2 m) och behåller därmed en lägre toppfart (40 km/h) och en betydligt lägre räckvidd (322 km jämfört med 450 km). Det har också skett förbättringar när det gäller bromsning och styrning. Dessutom har M88A2 uppgraderat pansarskydd inklusive bepansrade bandkjolar och applikationspansarpaneler, vilket båda tidigare modeller saknar. M88 saknar också nukleära, biologiska, kemiska (NBC) försvar och en rökridågenerator, som de senare M88A1- och M88A2-modellerna är utrustade med. Dessutom har besättningsantalet minskat från 5, till 3-4, till 3 genom serien
