Attack Aircraft Reborn

The story of how the MiG-23 turned into the MiG-27 is incredibly straightforward AND very complicated at the same time. It’s hardly a secret that, at some point, the MiG-23 was both a plane riddled with problems AND a major breakthrough. That’s pretty impressive even by the standards of the 21st century — and that’s precisely why the MiG-23 is still in service in several countries around the world despite its age.

Vickers Tanks

Not every nation could afford to design and produce their own tanks, and that’s why it often made sense for a developing country to buy them from industrial powerhouses — like the US or the Soviet Union. At first, India considered reaching an agreement with Germany, but then the British turned up and snatched the initiative by making an offer that was very hard to refuse.

Saab Aircraft

Chinese MBTs

There are two main approaches to designing main battle tanks. The western way… and the Soviet way. A typical NATO tank is a relatively big vehicle operated by a four man crew and armed with a 120mm gun with good elevation. Soviet engineers usually go for a low profile, a densely packed interior and a 125mm gun with an autoloader. All in all, tanks belonging to different schools of tank design are so different both visually and on a technical level, that, in most cases, you can easily tell whether a vehicle was made in the USSR or in the West just by looking at it. Sometimes, though, engineers decide to walk the middle path, making good use of ideas and design choices of both schools of tank design. That’s basically what happened in the People's Republic of China, where Soviet tanks were eventually used as a base for original local designs.
