For the UK the 90-ies of the XIX century was both a time of triumph and anxiety. On the one hand, its fleet was still able to oppose to each ship, any enemy two or even three. On the other hand, Empire every couple of years to grow new territories and peoples; for such an extensive economy required a constant supervision. Increased the number of “countries envious” capable of delivering the mistress of the seas of trouble in the event of armed conflict.
The beginning of the great Patriotic war, the worker-peasant Red army came no powerful self-propelled artillery installations (SAU), although the Finnish war showed the urgent need. The absence of such ACS in the ranks of divisions advancing on the positions of the “Mannerheim line”, in an extraordinary way hindered our attack. Particularly affected by difficulties with the suppression of long-term fortifications – these concrete structures, unassailable gun emplacements, often with multiple machine guns and even cannons. From the front to suppress such resistance was virtually impossible to destroy – only after a long artillery bombardment or air bombing. Needed were powerful tools of destruction. Then the military command remembered the self-propelled SU-14, created years earlier for the training program on “Heavy artillery of Special Purpose (TAON)” in the red army.
Soviet anti-submarine aircraft Il-38 was made on the basis of passenger Il-18V (1957). The new car wing moved forward, strengthened the chassis, carried out two cargo compartment. They placed the weapons from homing torpedoes and anti-submarine bombs of various types, as well as sonobuoys. The entire crew was focused in the pressurized cabin in the front of the plane, underneath the fairing was aerial surveillance radars. The aft fuselage was the end of the post for the magnetometer. Fuel capacity increased.
Mitsubishi Lancer 2005 issue. My first meeting with the Mitsubishi Lancer took place at the uncontrolled intersection. Thump in the left door of my “Fields”, the gnashing of metal on metal, squeaking brakes and… silence. The driver of a new “Japanese” was the young lady that turned out to be only the second time in my life independently drove his car to the “big world” — and on a day she was clearly not up to the sign “give way”.
Included in the First world war later than the other great (or applying for this role) powers, Italy was behind them in many branches of naval Affairs. And probably not due to a lack of creative ideas and their own theorists and designers, but because of the “little things” of a technical nature, the usual for countries that are somehow chained to the lack of resources and backwardness of the material base. This fully applies to the submarine fleet of the Mediterranean Kingdom.
Anti-aircraft interceptor missile NIKE-HERCULES MIM-14B. Source options for most anti-aircraft missiles designed in the 1950s “on both sides of the ocean”, become missiles manufactured during the Second world war in Germany. Despite the fact that the German “wasserfall”, “schmetterlinge”, “rheintochter”, etc. do not have time to participate in combat operations, their prospects as a new type of weapon was not subject to any doubt. But after a careful study of the Germans captured samples of the rockets and documentation there are new technical capabilities to create such weapons. The more targets for them has become more serious in developing the “cold war” anti-aircraft missiles would become an insurmountable obstacle in the way of bombers with nuclear bombs.
As the basis for “Orion” used passenger aircraft L-188 “Electra”, (1957). Military R-3 differed shortened fuselage, the top of which housed the equipment and operators, and in the lower compartment for weapons and sonobuoys. Appeared Under the wing pylons for the suspension arms and in the rear – magnetometer. The aircraft can carry guided and unguided rockets, conventional and deep (including nuclear) bombs, homing torpedoes, and aerial mines.
In 1904, the company Volkswagen has released a small series of sporting four-wheel drive is a pleasure car in the segment, created on the basis of the mechanisms of the VW Golf. The first model was shown at the Detroit motor show in 2004, the Car was developed under the leadership of chief designer of the American center style Volkswagen D. Jenkins leading designer of the project K. Brockshmidt, in the style of beach car (dune buggy) with a body of fiberglass. The machine is equipped with a 3.2-liter engine capacity of 240 HP, which allows to accelerate to 100 km/h in 6,6 s.
The basis for the anti-submarine aircraft “Argus” has become a passenger airliner Bristol 175 Britannia (1952). The design of the machine under the designation CL-28 or “Britain” MR began in April 1954 Fusepad completely reworked. There were two cargo compartments in the bow placed a cabin of the Navigator and radar in a bulky fairing, the tail – rod of the magnetometer. Fuel capacity increased. But the main difference was that the theater was replaced by piston engines. This forced to make changes to the wing design.
Emerging in recent local military conflicts have shown the necessity of creation and adoption of the armies of new models of armored vehicles, highly maneuverable and at the same time highly secure. Military units often have to conduct combat actions in isolation from the main forces fighting against well-armed enemy. According to military experts, every unit participating in battle, must be mobile, have increased firepower, have a considerable reserve.
