Thunder Show: GAUSS GUN

Hi! Welcome to Thunder Show and the most mind-blowing moments of the past week. Some of them literally knock the ground out from under the tracks! Sounds exciting, huh? Let’s get started then!

Panthers: Steel Cats

Every military history buff knows this name: “Panther”. After all, it was one of the very first jets available to the US Navy and an iconic aircraft of the Korean War era. Or are you thinking of another Panther? Ah yes: the French destroyer Panthère is not as well known as its American counterpart but it still left its mark in history. Yet another Panther, you say? The German armored one? Well, everybody knows about that Panther! You know what? This time, we’re going to talk about ALL Panthers in War Thunder. We’ll list their strengths and quirks and also tell you about their distant relatives!

History of Finnish tanks

Finland is not well known for its arms manufacturing prowess, and there is a reason for that: before the mid-20th century, the government simply didn’t have the means to develop the industry, and during the Cold War, political complications arose. Historically and geographically, though, Finland could not really remain truly neutral: after the events of the Winter War and the Second World War, the country found itself between the devil and the deep blue sea, squeezed between two massive geopolitical blocs.

Panavia Tornado: Common Cause

Building your own warplanes was always prohibitively expensive, but it became even more difficult after WW2, with Europe being in a state of economic decline. Even though Italy, France and the UK were still capable of designing new vehicles on their own, creating a new, truly modern strike aircraft definitely required a joint effort across the continent. That’s the story of the Panavia Tornado multirole combat aircraft, developed by combined efforts of France, Germany and a number of other countries.

ADATS: Surface-to-EVERYTHING missile

Can a close range SPAA fight tanks? In the 1980s, the US military was seriously considering this possibility. After all, around that time, there was a very intriguing and highly unusual project suggested by the Swiss defense company Oerlikon: a special Air Defense Anti-Tank System that used missiles and was equally effective against targets on the ground and in the air.
