MBT-70: Tank from the future
By the mid 1950s, the USSR became a behemoth of tank construction. Countries of the socialist bloc operated tens of thousands of cheap and effective T-34s, T-54s and T-55s. As suggested by US Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, the US entered into a special agreement with West Germany to launch a joint project to create a true tank of the future, known as the MBT-70 in the US and the KpZ-70 in Germany.

Book of Records: German Aircraft
The German tech tree is one of the largest in all of War Thunder. Germans started building aircraft at the very beginning of the 20th century, and their industry has a very rich and turbulent history. At one point, there was even a split into two major warring camps! Today, though, we are here to celebrate the best designs that Germany has to offer: the fastest, the most agile... and most historically important aircraft!

CV 90: Swedish Quality
Some Swedish vehicles of the Cold War era are pretty hard to assign to a specific class. People still argue whether the Strv 103 MBT should be considered an SPG or not, and the Strv 74 is sitting in a weird gray area between light and medium tanks. That said, the Stridsfordon 90 is clearly a standard Western IFV – and we mean it in the best way possible: Swedish engineers managed to create one of the best vehicles of its class and it can be considered the golden standard of modern IFVs in more ways than one.

Soviet Fighters: Polikarpov’s Way
The name Nikolay Polikarpov seems to be an integral part of the Soviet Air Force. He was an aviation engineer who’d left his footprint in the aircraft industry both in the Soviet Union and worldwide. However, this modest, hard-working, scrupulous, and deeply religious man had a tough and, sadly, very short life.

Bell UH-1: American Gunship

Thanks to its extensive use in several large-scale military conflicts, most notably during the Vietnam War, Huey became one of the most recognisable helicopters around the world, and an iconic part of the American rotorcraft roster.
