The history has disposed so that one of the greatest victories of the red Army in the great Patriotic war — the battle of Kursk was won at a time when Soviet armored and mechanized troops are qualitatively inferior to the German. By the summer of 1943, when the most painful design flaws of the T-34 was eliminated, the Germans had new tanks “Tiger” and “Panther”, significantly surpassing our power of weapons and thick armor. Therefore, during the battle of Kursk Soviet tank units, as before, had to rely on their numerical superiority over the enemy. Only in some cases, when the “thirty” were able to approach German tanks almost side by side, the fire of our guns became effective. On the agenda there was a question about a radical modernization of the T-34 and especially of his arms.
TANK GREAT VICTORY
In countries which are called “Maritime powers of the second tier”, you can see two diametrically opposite approaches to creation of own torpedo ships. Some tried to build world’s most powerful superessence remaining, as a rule, in a single instance; one of them belonged to Yugoslavia and Poland (about which we told in the previous issue of the journal). Other countries, on the contrary, gave preference to low-cost destroyers with modest combat capabilities, but that it was possible to build a small but still lots.
I am convinced that any device with power supply-battery flashlight will only benefit if you provide it a makeshift terminals, providing reliable electrical contact in the connection to the battery. Moreover, the time and cost it takes a bit.
Pushkin “Ah, summer red, I would love you, if not for the heat, and dust, Yes mosquitoes, Yes flies” not to recall with the advent of the hordes of winged insects that spoil our mood more than heat and humidity. And then remember the promotional video: in the fight with the flying vermin are becoming increasingly prevalent electronic protection. A few behind the effectiveness of chemical pesticides, it is more gentle to the environment, and this is now of the essence.
The first domestic anti-tank missile system (ATGM) was “bumblebee”, developed in Kolomna SKB engineering under the guidance of S. P. Invincible. However, quite a large mass and a decent size anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) ЗМ6 from the beginning forced the designers to focus on the self-propelled version. And since 1957, at the same time developed two sample latest: 2K15 on the basis of army all-terrain vehicle GAZ-69 (army 2П26) 2K16 and on the basis of BRDM (combat vehicle 2П27). The calculation of both launchers consisted of two people, the rate of fire of two shots per minute, control system — manual, wires. The complex “bumblebee” was adopted in August 1960 and immediately launched into serial production.
“Dear edition! I have been modeling, build kordovye-models, flight a big request To you — please let us know what new model airplane engines went on sale in 1973”. V. Vasiliev. Chita oblast.
Kordovye contour-models have always been attracted to model airplanes. To create them, unlike the full copies, takes less time, and aircraft modeling experience needed for this not so great. As a prototype for contour models are most often fighters — these machines are spectacular in flight, they are easily recognized not only modelers, but also the audience. Moreover, in the air, the fuselage does not look flat.
If the aerial part of the German operation for the invasion of Crete in may 1940, no doubt, was an outstanding achievement and entered the history of the art of war, its Maritime component looked just pathetic. The so-called “First light convoy”, intended to capture the airfield at Maleme, consisted of two dozen commandeered the Greeks of motor boats and small coasting boats to the full loaded troops, weapons and ammunition. The only warship, which was assigned to protect the caravan from the enemy fleet, was a small Italian torpedo boat “Lupo” commanded by captain 2 rank, Francesco Mimbelli.
The constructor of this model class SA Maxim Shekhvatov, a schoolboy from the city of Elektrostal (the Moscow region) and the champion of Russia 2001 in two classes of sports rockets SA and S4A. His model made on the so-called paper technology. Fairing glue on the metal mandrel of the five paper petals. The mandrel before it is heated and smeared with mastic “Edelvays”. After cooling of the postmark on the mandrel is applied to the petals, smeared with white glue, and smooth to prevent wrinkles.
This machine is created by a Hadith Shagalievich Shatalin sons from the village Sermenevo. Engine — diesel D-37 electrical equipment — from tractors T-40, axles with wheels from GAZ-66, from him and the frame, but it’s a bit narrowed and strengthened. Bridges shortened and fixed to the frame rigidly. Transmission: clutch basket, gear shift —from ZIL. Steering — the tractor “Belarus”, cabin — tractor T-4, fuel tank — from DT-75.
