Happy cosmonautic day!

3, 2, 1… let’s go!

On the 12th of April 1961, mankind broke out of its small and fragile world towards infinity for the first time. “The first man in space!” - with such headlines the major world magazines and news came out. The hero of bilions at that moment and forever became Yuri Gagarin.

In honor of this day, dedicated to achieving new heights we return to the game special Space Thunder battle. Also don’t forget about your personal awards for achievements which are so important for War Thunder!
