MiG-21 fishbed

The MiG-21bis is a delta wing, supersonic, fighter-interceptor jet aircraft. Much like the AK-47 became the everymans' rifle, the MiG-21 has been operated by more than 40 countries worldwide, and has enjoyed the longest production run of any modern jet fighter to date. The MiG-21, in all of its' variants, has fought in wars stretching all the way from the Vietnam War in the 1960's to the modern day Syrian Civil War. Owing to it's unique blend of versatility, ruggedness and maintainability, the MiG-21 remains in active service to this very day. Initially designed as a pure-bred interceptor, the MiG-21 has over the years evolved into a hybrid multi-role aircraft. In addition to a vast Air-to-Air arsenal, it can effectively employ unguided rockets, bombs and radar-guided missiles to destroy ground or naval targets.

F-86F sabre

The North American F-86 Sabre was a transonic jet fighter aircraft. It is best known as the first swept wing fighter which could counter the similarly-winged Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights during the Korean War. Although it was developed in the late 1940s and was outdated by the end of the '50s, the Sabre proved versatile and adaptable, and continued as a front-line fighter in numerous air forces until 1994. Its success led to extended production runs of more than 7,800 aircraft between 1949 and 1956. The Canadair Sabre added another 1,815 airframes, and the significantly redesigned CAC Sabre (known as the Avon Sabre or CAC CA-27), had a production run of 112. The Sabre was by far the most-produced Western jet fighter, with total production of all variants at 9,860 units.

Fw-190 D-9 dora

The Fw-190 D-9 Dora fighter was nicknamed the Long-Nose by German pilots as well as the Allies. It featured a more powerful inline engine which gave the aircraft its characteristic long-nose shape compared to the iconic Fw 190A. The Long-Nosed 190 could easily match the best the Allies had to offer at all altitudes. The Focke-Wulf Fw-190 is one of Germany's greatest fighter planes featuring many advances and innovations, it broke new ground in terms of pilot comfort, ease of use, and versatility. First appearing in 1941, it was a rude awakening to the Allies, easily outclassing the best-Allied fighter of the time, the British Spitfire Mk V. In the skies over France, it had no equal for many months as the British scrambled to produce its answer, the Spitfire Mk IX almost a year later.

Bf-109 K-4 kurfurst

The Bf-109 is one of the most well-known fighters of WWII. In 1933 few people would have predicted that this early interceptor research project would result in over 30,000 production examples serving throughout Europe in roles ranging from ground attack to reconnaissance, and providing a mount to most of the world's leading fighter aces. The Bf-109 K-4 Kurfurst was the last of the Bf-109 series to see operational duty and the last in the Bf-109 evolutionary line. The K-4 model series production started in August 1944 and it was the only version to be mass-produced. It was the fastest Bf-109 produced, able to reach speeds of 450 mph (725 kmh) for short periods with full methanol-water boost.

M60A3 patton

The M60 Patton is a main battle tank introduced in December 1960. With the United States Army's deactivation of their last heavy tank battalion, the M60 became the Army's primary tank during the Cold War. Although developed from the M48 Patton, the M60 series was never officially classified as a Patton tank, but as a "product-improved descendant" of the Patton series. The M60 was criticized for its high profile and limited cross-country mobility, but proved reliable and underwent many updates over its service life. It was widely used by the U.S. and its Cold War allies, especially those in NATO, and remains in service throughout the world today despite having been superseded by the M1 Abrams in the U.S. military. Egypt is currently the largest operator with 1,716 upgraded M60A3s, Turkey is second with 866 upgraded units in service, and Israel is third with over 700 units of Israeli variants.

leopard 1A3

The Leopard 1 is a main battle tank designed and produced in West Germany. It first entered service in 1965. The Leopard used a German-built version of the British L7 105-mm gun, and had improved cross-country performance that was unmatched by other designs of the era. 6,485 Leopard tanks have been built to date, of which 4,744 were battle tanks and 1,741 were utility and anti-aircraft variants. The Leopard quickly became a standard of European forces, and eventually served as the main battle tank in over a dozen countries worldwide. Since 1990, the Leopard 1 has gradually been relegated to secondary roles in most armies. In the German Army, the Leopard 1 MBTs were phased out in 2003 replaced by the Leopard 2, while Leopard 1 derived vehicles are still widely used.
