Meet the “Storm Warning” Major Update!

Meet Storm Warning, War Thunder’s last major update of 2024.

Get Yourself Some Cool Rewards in the Winter Tales Event!

When there’s a snowstorm and blizzard outside, it’s best to gather around with family and friends inside, put up decorations and remember everyone’s favorite fairy tales about the New Year’s miracles. And then of course play some War Thunder, where the festive mood and an event await you!

MiG-21 — Supersonic Legion

The 1950s were a groundbreaking period in aviation history. By the late 1940s, pilots had transitioned from propeller-driven aircraft to jets, and the sound barrier had just been broken. Yet engineers were already working on a new generation of aircraft that would make even the most recent designs look obsolete.

Fair Play: December 2024

We’re constantly working on removing cheaters from War Thunder. We rely on anti-cheat systems to check for prohibited software usage, as well as on reports from players that we carefully go through. You can use the replay service on our website to report players to us who have violated the Terms of Service and the License Agreement of the game.

The Snow Globe for Silver Lions!

A snow globe is a traditional holiday decoration and a great gift during the winter season. You can now treat yourself to one in War Thunder — only this one will bring you magical rewards when you open it!

All Sidewinders in War Thunder

War Thunder has a wide range of air-to-air missiles, and almost every update extends the list. The AIM-9 Sidewinder family occupies a prominent place among AAMs, and boy this family is large!

HQ17: Rockets in the Night Sky

The HQ17 SAM vehicle has arrived at the end of the Chinese ground forces research tree in a group with the Tor-M1.

Pages of History: Hybrid tech

Like an artisan, the military hones its tools to better suit its needs and desires. And as it often happens, vehicles captured as trophies or inherited as legacy tech can’t find any use in the existing military paradigm.

IAR-93B Vultur — Flight of the Vulture

The Flight of the Vulture event brings a unique aircraft to our game, and today we’d like to take a closer look at it! This subsonic fighter-bomber is a joint development of Yugoslavia and Romania. Made in the early 1970s, it was accepted into service by both nations under the names of the J-22 Orao and the IAR-93 Vultur respectively. The Romanian version’s name means ‘vulture’, and its late modification is the one available to players!

The Mi-24D is Temporarily Available at a Discount for Helicopter Pilot’s Day!

In Russia, Helicopter Pilot’s Day is celebrated on the second Saturday of December. It’s an unofficial holiday where in 2002, employees of the Aerosoyuz company organized ceremonial events in honor of their company and helicopter pilots in general. This initiative was picked up throughout the country.
