Don’t Miss Out on Decals, Discounts, and Rare Vehicles for Japan’s National Foundation Day!

Ancient Japanese chronicles date the accession of the first Emperor Jimmu to the first day of the first month of 660 BCE. During the transition to the Gregorian calendar in the Meiji era, this date was aligned with February 11th and made into a holiday. Japan widely celebrated the 2,600th anniversary of the founding of the empire in 1940. After World War II, the celebrations were discontinued, but in the mid-1960s they were resumed with refined wording, eliminating any mention of the empire. It is a patriotic holiday, marked by the flying of flags and numerous local festivals.

The BO 105 CB-2 is Temporarily Available at a Discounted Price to Celebrate its First Flight Anniversary!

The maiden flight of the light twin-engine Bo 105 helicopter took place on February 16th 1967 at the Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm airfield in Ottobrunn near Munich. The prototype took to the air with a new hingeless four-blade hub and composite blades, the key innovation of the project. The Bo 105 became the first production helicopter with a rigid rotor and one of the first light twin-engine helicopters. Its design guaranteed reliability and durability, and thanks to it, the Bo 105 could perform aerobatic maneuvers and found wide application in both military and civilian service.

Get the Dutch F-16A in the Workhorse Event!

The Year of the Horse is approaching, and to celebrate, we’re offering you a true workhorse of Western air forces: the ever-popular F-16A fighter in its Dutch configuration. And along with it, the emblems of two Royal Netherlands Air Force squadrons flying the F-16A. 322 Squadron traces its history back to the Second World War, when it flew with the Royal Air Force. In the 1980s, both squadrons received their F-16As and remain loyal to them to this day!

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Decals, Decorations and the Return of a Rare Tank!

Celebrating Valentine’s Day on February 14th is a charming tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. Valentine cards, flowers, and chocolates became symbols of the day in the 19th and 20th centuries. War Thunder has its own Valentines day traditions, there’s a themed decal trophy, a trophy with Valentine-themed decorations and the rare MK-IX “Valentine” tank!
