Po-2: the slower you go, the farther you get

Like many successful aircraft, the story of the U-2 (short for ‘training aircraft 2’) began with its engine. In the 1920s, flight crews of the fledgling Soviet Union were training on outdated planes, and the lack of domestic engines forced the country to buy decommissioned engines from abroad. By July 1926, with the development of the excellent domestic M-11 engine, Polikarpov finally had the chance to design a new training aircraft.

Thunder Show: MAUS SWATTER

Hi! Welcome to Thunder Show and the brightest moments of the past week. We’re sure it was a complete accident, but this time we have an entire zoo with mice, a squid, and even some Phoenixes... There’s still some space for regular vehicles, though! Let’s get started!

History of Chinese Export Tanks

The main arms dealers of the Cold War, the Warsaw Pact and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, primarily designed armored vehicles to meet their own needs. Later, with the increasing demand from foreign customers and the ever-changing development of international science and technology, Chinese engineers had to rethink their approach to developing combat vehicles, leading to the emergence of a unique Chinese school of tank design. Eventually, many technologies developed for foreign customers found their way into vehicles equipped by the People’s Liberation Army as well.

Mobile Sniper: Boxer MGS

The Boxer MGS is one of the latest iterations of the Boxer IFV, originally developed under a German-Dutch joint venture, featuring a larger Belgian turret fitted with a powerful 105 mm main gun.
