The troops of the Bundeswehr appeared vosmiklasnica armored cars armed with 50-mm gun, which allowed them quite effectively to deal with our tanks, even the T-34. It was BA Sd.Kfz234/2. which, thanks to the firepower, maneuverability, survivability was considered the best heavy armored vehicles of the Second world war. In fact, they determined the direction of further development vosmiklasnica machines, laying the foundations of creation and the current models. In the army they gave the name “Puma”.
As you know, in the United States before world war II tank development has been given insufficient attention. In the end, by September 1939 the us army had virtually no modern tanks and armored vehicles. Americans would have to be tight, they are joining in the war just after it started. But history gave them a two-year reprieve until December of 1941, which, admittedly, they used very effectively.
Luck experienced “sharks” and the serial “the walrus” caused a real boom in requests for the construction of domestic underwater vessels already quite respectable size, and good quality. It remained to translate these queries into the metal which in the conditions of rapidly progressing but still lagging behind Western industry in Russia was not easy. In addition, not enough money; however, this has not stopped Marine Ministry, announced a competition for the best project for mass construction.
In the early 1960-ies of the Soviet armed forces required a new aviation-missile complex to combat air targets flying at altitudes from 500 to 23 000 m with a speed of from 500 to 3000 km/h. to Solve this problem was possible only through the establishment of an appropriate rocket class “air—air” and the aircraft carrier with a powerful radar gun.

THE F-80 SHOOTING STAR. The story of the creation of the F-80 started in late spring of 1943 at Wright field, where the main designer firms Lockheed (Lockheed), Daniel Russ (Russ Daniel) met with representatives of the command of the U.S. air force. The meeting resulted in an official letter in which the firm was asked to develop a fighter jet under the English engine.1B “Goblin” company Havilland De (De Havilland.) These engines are planned to produce on the industrial base of the American company Allis Chalmers (Allis Chalmers). Last long time was trying to develop his engine, but 1943 she abandoned her fruitless attempts and have purchased a license for the construction of N. 1B.
A cargo aircraft C-27J “Spartan” set up jointly by the Italian company “Alenia Arepas” and the American “Lockheed”. Its predecessor—the Italian light military transport aircraft G. 222″, Alenia” made its first flight in 1973 and produced until 2000, Only built 124 machines of this type.

The Soviet-Finnish war began on 30 November 1939 and ended on 12 March 1940. All this time our units had to overcome the fortifications of the “Mannerheim line”, created on the Karelian isthmus. This “line” became the most significant fighting. Rasstalas front is 135 km, it had a depth of defense around 95 km, and the Main defense line consisted of strong points, just within which it was built 800 wooden-earthen fire facilities Bunkers and 280 long-term firing installations (Pillboxes). All of them, as well as the other positions were covered by the first anti-personnel obstacles of the dozens of rows of barbed wire on concrete base. They were followed by anti-tank obstacles, saturated ditches and scarps. Space between them in huge quantities were made nadybali in several bands. Tanks could not pass, and the Marines had to overcome many roadblocks often three or four layer fire to undermine them. Such a difficult task sometimes allowed T-28 tanks, fire their 76.2 mm guns destroying dragon’s teeth. They could also deal with small Bunkers.
