The attack on the destroyer “Hadley” in radar patrol from the Japanese island of Okinawa, where she landed U.S. marine corps, began early in the morning. The aircraft flew singly and in groups, dropping bombs and firing from onboard weapons. Some of them managed pilots-suicide bombers tried to RAM a lone ship. The Americans resisted fiercely. Guns and machine guns of the destroyer watered the enemy’s steel; by the end of this fateful day, the sailors claimed to be twenty-downed aircraft! But “Hadley” paid in full: 250-kg bomb struck his nose, a guided rocket bomb “Baka” (essentially a small plane) got in the middle part, and a kamikaze crashed into the stern.

The legend of the Soviet automobile industry, the truck ZIS-5 takes its origin in the distant 1933, when he was upgraded, his predecessor, AMO-3. Then upgraded powerplant, increasing engine power and, as a consequence, the capacity of the machine.
We left the Italian fleet during the “great war”. Unlike France, Italy is not as strongly experienced its hardships; in fact, the only really available to the enemy, Austria-Hungary, “processed” beyond its fleet. The allies have allocated more than sufficient power. So, the Italians stayed mainly to prevent possible attacks of the Austrians against their shores. And to continue the development of all marine weapons, including, of course, and so “fashionable” submarine forces.
Combat training aircraft K-8 Karakorum was created in 1986 jointly by the Chinese company HAIG and Pakistani RACES. The first prototypes were assembled in 1989, the First flight took place on 26 November 1990 Serial production began in China in 1992, were Subsequently developed an improved version of the aircraft under the designation L-11, are equipped with a Chinese licensed Russian engine AI-25ТКЛ.
Fighter biplane HEINKEL Not-51. The military rebellion against the government of the Spanish Republic began on 17 July 1936, when the radio sounded the prearranged signal: “Above all Spain the cloudless sky…” Almost immediately, the rebels have begun to receive military aid from Germany, Italy and Portugal. In particular, 31 July 1936 from Hamburg to the Spanish port of Cadiz came steamer “Usaramo”. On Board were six fighters Not-51V-1 with the appropriate number of pilots and a group of 79 soldiers.
N. Kamov, getting to the first combat autogyro, designed for communications, reconnaissance and correction of artillery fire, already had experience of creating such helicopters, together with N. Skrzynski in 1929 he participated in the creation of experimental gyroplanes KASKR-1 and KASKR-2. The task before the designer was a complex one: the device had to meet the tactical and technical requirements for R-3 and R-5 — planes-scouts of that time. In particular, to have a payload of 750 kg, to carry on Board the station, photographic equipment and three machine guns: synchronized to fire through the propeller and two in the turret in the cockpit of the arrow. The armament of the autogyro was to include a 100-kg bombs.
The prospects for the British economy in the interwar period could not be called bright. The biggest Empire in the world is only superficially looked unshakable; in fact the problems were coming from all sides. The economic crisis has caused serious reductions in the armed forces, which affected and Navy — Holy of holies “nation of sailors”.

This car is well known to motorists. She enjoyed a well-deserved recognition among agricultural workers, geologists, soldiers, builders. For two decades she was on the production, which in itself is a clear proof of how successful was the design of the GAZ-69.
Pikirayi bomber SBD DAUNTLESS. In 1934, the US Navy announced a competition for the creation of new carrier-based dive bomber, according to the American classification — scout-bombarde-Rossica (scout bomber). The main requirement for a new aircraft — a significant increase in speed compared to BOM-Bardi rustami predecessors. Bomb load was to be placed under the fuselage on a special suspension unit with a catapult device, which provided a safe separation of cargo at high speeds during the dive. The fleet was ready to consider any proposal, regardless of the aerodynamic configuration and other characteristics of the aircraft.
