The IAI I-View (Eye-View) is a small reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle developed in Israel in the early 21st century. Like other UAVs produced by IAI, it has fixed landing gear and an 18.6 kW (25 hp) piston engine. The Eye-View is also being promoted in civilian markets for forest fire warning, and in this form is appropriately known as the FireBird.
The Boxer is a multirole armoured fighting vehicle designed by an international consortium to accomplish a number of operations through the use of installable mission modules. The governments participating in the Boxer programme have changed as the programme has developed.
A twin engine Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV system, the Hermes® 1500 is capable of a maximum takeoff weight of 1750 kg, maximum altitude > 33,000 ft, more than 24 hours endurance, maximum payload weight of 400 kg, with both Line-Of-Sight (LOS) and SATCOM data links, and operational for both day and night missions.
The Hermes 1500 is highly reliable (full redundancy), with a broad range of valuable payloads, and features the safe-return-home function.
Ethan Allen-class submarines are a kind of George Washington-class sister vessels. At first glance, common features and similarities can be seen between the two classes. In the US Navy, after the experience gained with the construction of the USS George Washington and later with the operation of the entire George Washington class, the construction of an improved class of nuclear-powered submarines capable of carrying and firing ballistic missiles. It was the five-member SSBN class - Ethan Allen.
Paul Nikolaus von Falkenhorst (* 17. January 1885 – † 18. June 1968) - German general, fighting in the First and Second world war, the commander of the invading troops to Denmark and Norway in 1940, which significantly participated in the preparation of attack on these neutral states. He was then up to the year 1944, the commander of German troops in Norway. After the war, indicted, found guilty and sentenced to death.
The Magach 7 is a comprehensive upgrade package for Israel's M60 series tanks, which was the mainstay of the IDFs armored corps. The Magach 7 is a further development of the Magach 6. It entered service with the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1980s. It has significantly improved capabilities over the original US M60 series tanks. In particular its armor protection was vastly improved.

This final version had a fixed angled mantlet, redesigned wedge-shaped passive armor and gun slots.
The M47 Patton was an American main battle tank, a development of the M46 Patton mounting an updated turret, and was in turn further developed as the M48 Patton. It was the second American tank to be named after General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third Army during World War II and one of the earliest American advocates of tanks in battle.
The M47 was the U.S. Army's and Marine Corps' primary tank, intended to replace the M26 Pershing and M46 Patton medium tanks. The M47 was widely used by U.S. Cold War allies, both SEATO and NATO countries, and was the only Patton series tank that never saw combat while in US service.
Ohio-class submarines - carrying ballistic missiles capable of attacking targets over 10,000 kilometers away with a force capable of destroying large urban agglomerations and entire states. At the same time, these submarine giants were able to move almost silently and unnoticed in the blue depths of the world's oceans, without enemy forces being able to reliably identify and track them.
Ohio-class missiles (SSGN) provide the Navy with unprecedented strike capabilities and special operational missions from a silent, secret platform. SSGN, armed with tactical missiles and equipped with excellent communication skills, are able to directly support the requirements of the strike command of combat forces and special operational forces.
A completely new generation, the characteristics of the Permit class can still be summarized. Although, as always, the whole thing is more complicated, this phrase is not exaggerated at all. The class at the time had several so dizzying innovations that it can only be given priority - the first class of multi-purpose attack submarines with quiet operation and the ability of a large dive, designed to fight submarines.
Rafael's Skylite is man-portable, canister launched, electrically powered loitering surveillance and reconnaissance platform offering superior performance, autonomy, availability and flexibility.
The Seawolf project was the first new design of a US nuclear attack submarine in more than 20 years. It was to regain its dominant position in the United States and regain its lead in reducing submarine noise. For more than 30 years, US Navy submarines maintained this technological superiority over USSR naval submarines. But with the advent of Project 671RTM Ščuka vessels, and especially Project 971 Ščuka-B in the early 1980s, imaginary scales began to level off.
The first modern construction of a nuclear submarine, which was designed after the end of the Cold War, is the Virginia class. It was with the end of the Cold War that spending on the then new Seawolf class, which was to gradually replace the Los Angeles class, surfaced. The total cost of building 1 submarine was an incredible 2.765 billion USD (1991), and therefore it was unthinkable to build several dozen submarines of this class. In order not to waste the money spent, 3 Seawolf vessels were built, but at the same time a decision was made to announce a new submarine competition to replace the Los Angeles class.
