▶️Rank V Radar SPAA: Ready for Everything Among the ground vehicles found at Rank 5, four self-propelled anti-aircraft guns stand out as vehicles situated right on the boundary between two technological eras. They differ from earlier SPAAs not just in their versatility or firepower, but in a key piece of equipment, as they are fitted with a radar — a defining feature of modern anti-air systems.

▶️British Vehicles with RARDEN Cannons What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words “automatic cannon”? Usually, it’s something with an extremely high rate of fire, like an aircraft-mounted Vulcan or an Oerlikon anti-aircraft gun. But some automatic cannons fire much more slowly. Today we’ll take a look at one of them: the British 30-mm L21A1, better known as the RARDEN.

▶️F-101 Voodoo: Fighter That Outlived Its Concept The end of the Second World War gave the United States military only a brief respite. The Cold War that followed demanded no less effort, along with an enormous amount of work from engineers and military theorists. During the struggle against the Axis powers, the U.S. Air Force had refined several existing concepts and developed new ones. One of them was the penetration fighter: a fast, long-range aircraft capable of escorting strategic bombers deep into enemy territory and breaking through hostile air defenses. In essence, it was an evolution of the traditional escort-fighter concept.
