At the end of 1942 armored division of the US army on the state was a third armed light tanks M3/M5 “Stuart”. The weakness of their reservation and weapons quickly revealed in November, when American armored units in North Africa for the first time joined the battle with units of the Panzerwaffe: the fighting machine was completely powerless against medium German tanks.
Military paratroopers wearing the blue beret. If combat vehicles and airborne troops also “gave” blue berets, they first would have to own a BMD (airborne combat vehicle). The revision in the mid-1960s, the concepts of military doctrine identified the need for a reorganization of the airborne troops of Russia (VDV).

For the first time this car was unveiled at the Tokyo motor show 2001. The uniqueness of its layout and design decisions caused considerable interest in the new company Mercedes-Benz.
Carrier-based fighter Boeing F4B. Fighter Boeing F4B firms on merit according to the United States one of the best fighter biplanes of the late 20-ies of the last century.

Fighter FIAT CR-32. The plane, which will be discussed, for the five years preceding the Second world war, was a symbol of Italian fighter aircraft.

The first time I saw “Polonaise” in the picture. He was standing on one of the Central squares of Warsaw, surrounded by a dense ring of spectators.
