Accumulated by the end of 1950-x years experience of operation of the first anti-aircraft missile systems has shown that to combat low-flying targets they were of little use With great clarity evident when experiments began to overcome air defense systems aircraft at low altitude In this regard, several countries started research and development of compact low-altitude anti-aircraft missiles (SAMS), is intended to cover both stationary and moving objects. Requirements, device to them in different armies was in many respects similar, but, first and foremost, they equally argued that SAM should be completely automated and compact, to accommodate more than two cars of high passability (otherwise they deployed is unacceptably high).

To develop a single-rotor Mi-2 helicopter with two turboshaft engines, designed to replace Mi-1, launched in 1960, its First flight took place in September 1961 Serial production began in 1963 in Poland at the PZL Swidnik factory and lasted until 1992 Only built more than 5250 helicopters. Mi-2 can accommodate eight passengers or four stretcher patients and accompanying persons, and on an external sling carries a weight of 800 kg. On the basis of Mi-2 created more than 20 models, including military.
Single-rotor helicopter classical scheme of “Ansat” designed in KB Kazan helicopter plant. “Ansat” designed to carry up to nine passengers or 1300 kg of cargo (on external sling). The first flight of the prototype machine equipped with two turboshaft engines, “Pratt & Whitney/Klimov” РК206С, on 17 August 1999, and pre-production in December 2001, the Latter differed from its predecessor more spacious and streamlined form of the fuselage. It contains on-Board information control system flight information region (BISK). Vane steering and bearing (sleeve hingeless) rotor made of composite materials. Chassis — skid, but some modifications may be provided with wheeled supports.
Urgent need in a very simple and highly reliable AWD vehicle designed for the average command of the red Army, as well as for reconnaissance, communications, and towing light artillery systems, have emerged during the Soviet-Finnish armed conflict that took place in severe winter conditions off-road.
Amphibious Schwimmwagen (Volkswagen Typ 166) — German floating four-wheel drive all terrain vehicle for military use, developed on the basis of “national” Volkswagen Beetle and army all-terrain vehicle VW-82 “Kubelwagen”. Produced from autumn 1942 to the summer of 1944 to the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS instead of heavy motorcycles with sidecar, appeared on the Eastern front because of low passability on the roads, and especially in slush.
Japanese car Mitsubishi lancer of 2007. Continuous update — here is one of the main principles of creation of high-tech consumer products. Constantly decreasing period of the market entry of new improved cameras, mobile phones and more productive computers. Is not time consumer is to buy “the best of” the perfect digital video camera or pocket PC, as a manufacturer throws on the market a new model with better consumer qualities, leaving the buyer with the “old”, released only a year ago an electronic device on hand.
On the drawing Board stood out the contours of a completely new fighter, interceptor unprecedented for that time qualities. He will not have to look for enemy bombers — a plane meteoric rise when they enter in the area of its action. A monstrous climb rate will enable an interceptor for a few seconds to attack enemy aircraft, leaving his pilots time maneuvering.
Heavy APC based on the T-55 was first shown at the 2nd exhibition VTTV-97 in Omsk Developing a machine tailored to heavy urban fighting of the first Chechen campaign, Omsk KB transport engineering (KBTM) in a fairly short period designed and built a tracked armored personnel carriers, using obsolete chassis of a medium tank T-55 it Should be noted that the work was carried out in initiative order, at its own expense the result was a fighting machine, the level of overall protection is not inferior, and mine protection, in particular, — the superior main battle tanks T-80 and T-90 “bath” case, the engine systems and chassis remained the same Installation on T-55 improved engines with power up to 690 HP upgrade suspension with use of lightweight rollers made of aluminum alloy KBTM KB conducted on other samples, and this product development has not been introduced, not to increase its final cost Significant alteration machined the upper part of the hull fighting compartment increased in height and widened fenders Steel box on shelves continued to stern, inside they placed additional fuel tanks and top mounted smoke grenade launchers “Tucha”.
Did you know that the first domestic car, which became the hero of a thousand jokes became legendary minicar, created at Zaporizhia automobile building plant? If a quick “flip through” a hefty volume of the complete collection of the works of the oral creativity of the Soviet people, one of its most significant chapters will probably be entitled “Jokes about “Zaporozhets” And this is a sign of the unprecedented popularity of this machine have a Soviet man that went from “hunchback” ZAZ-965 and “eared” ZAZ-966 front-wheel drive cars, the first of which was the ZAZ-1102 “Tavria”.
One of the most important tasks of fighter aircraft is to protect important areas, districts and objects on the territory of the country from air strikes. After the Second world war, the development of tactical flight characteristics of aircraft of a potential enemy greatly complicated the task of defense of the air borders of our country Location of U.S. military bases and their allies near the borders of the Soviet Union put the leadership of our country before the problem of protection from the threat of nuclear strikes on industrial sites and administrative centers, which until recently was considered a deep rear that the enemy at the most critical development of the fighting, It demanded significant expansion of the capabilities of the air defense Forces of the country increase their number to cover all important industrial regions, technical re-equipment of principally new types of weapons and military equipment.
