I've caught papacavy's "What If" disease, but this is purely for interest rather than literary purposes. As we all know, the Fairey Battle was an airplane which, once tested in combat, did not imbue its crews with any confidence that they would come home from attacking defended targets. Let's...

This gun was presented in 1992. The ammunition could have the same performances as the 45mm comvat: 1.095kg HE shell with a muzzle velocity of 1100ms. Rate of fire is 400spm.

G'day once again gents I am looking for information on the French LOHR VPX 5000 light armoured vehicle. A neat little AFV, which looks as though it could have been as versatile as the West German Wiesel series of light armoured vehicles. From what I can make out, it was proposed in a 120mm...

In 1959, the U.S. Army Ordnance Missile Command (AOMC) suggested the development of a medium-range heavy assault weapon. The Office, Chief of Research and Development indicated that no firm requirement existed for the weapon. In February, McDonnell Douglas Corporation began work on the BRAT...

Folks, Does anyone have a 3-view drawing of the Bell Model 207 Sioux Scout (see below)? regards, Greg

Germans fielded a number of airborne AT rockets in the winter of 1944/45. There were Panzerschreck 1 and 2 and Panzerblitz 1 and 2, while Panzerblitz 3 and 4 were in development. Sadly, there's an incredible mess in available books as far as details of these rockets are concerned - e.g. I...

An old book of mine about the British Army mentions that the Army in 1962 were looking at the Canadian Heller Rocket launcher and the Carl Gustav 84mm from Sweden to replace its bazookas. The UK chose the Carl Gustav. Does anyone have any info and pictures of the Canadian contender? UK 75

In this Lockheed advertisment the AH-56 is shown with an additional outline, giving a deeper fuselage and it is advertised to be the basis for a transport for up to 30 passengers or as a ASW helicopter. Are there any other pictures, drawings or photos of mock-ups of these versions ?

This was a project of the (then) West German Army during the late '80s/early'90s. It was designed for anti-tank and anti-helicopter warfare roles and was based on the hull of the Leopard 1 chassis converted by removing the turret and fitting an elevating arm with weapons/sensors that could reach...

Late in the Seventies, Fairchild-Republic studied a Next Generation Close Air Support aircraft. It would have been a two-seater, have a night-adverse weather capability, made with large use of composites and probably (judging from the design) sport a moderate supersonic speed. Weapons: GAU-8A...

Translated from http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/frheft7x/FRHeft77/FRH7708/FR7708c.htm PS: small edit made by Deino as the German name for that helicopter was not "Fleidermaus" but only "Fledermaus" without an "i" meaning "bat" !!
