MiG-29: Soviet Fulcrum
The Cold War led to a huge boost to the development of all types of weapon systems, and combat aircraft were no exception. By the end of the 1960s, the US and the USSR came to the same conclusion: it was time to introduce a new generation of fighter aircraft, the fourth generation, and make it the core of their respective air forces.

Waffenträger: Feisty Weapons Carrier
The idea of a big gun strapped to some kind of a moving platform is almost as old as the idea of artillery itself. In the beginning, guns were moved by horses, and eventually by powerful engines: numerous countries involved in World War 2 relied on special gun tractors to do the job. After sustaining heavy losses, though, the Wehrmacht was forced to rethink their approach to artillery.

Hungarian Tanks: Big Ambitions
Due to historic reasons, Hungarian vehicles of the WW2 era were never in the spotlight, always in the shadow of tanks produced by other nations, like the iconic German Panzer. To make the situation even more complicated, Hungary never shied away from using foreign designs. At the same time, though, the Hungarian defense industry was nothing short of impressive, even compared to other Axis states, which allowed the country to produce at least several interesting military vehicles.

F-104 Starfighter: Need for Speed
By 1952, Kelly Johnson, who was the chief engineer at Lockheed Skunk Works, had drafted over 100 aircraft proposals, ranging from relatively small designs to large 20-ton beasts. In order to find the optimal configuration for their new plane, he and his team made more than 400 launches testing different wing types and tail units. One of the resulting designs, the L-246, eventually became the progenitor of the whole F-104 series.
