Follow Army Recognition on Google News at this link German-made PUMA IFV tracked armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle. (Picture source Army Recognition) On December 18, 2022, the German-made  Puma IFVs  (Infantry Fighting Vehicles) were reportedly plagued by defects during a recent training exercise. According to information released by the German army, during Military exercises, the Puma IFV armored vehicle encountered numerous technical problems. Citing a report, after a training exercise involving 18 state-of-the-art Puma infantry fighting vehicle s, not a single one was left operational. Due to this situation, the Puma IFV was not allowed to be deployed in NATO’s spearhead Very High Readiness Joint Task Force next year and ...

X-15 is a hypersonic rocket aircraft designed and built by North American for NACA (later NASA) testing. It set speed records in the 1960s that remain unbroken some 60 years later. An unbelievably ambitious project that actually paid off. A lot of valuable data was gained and implemented into future aircraft design. Image Maximum Speed Even in the late 1940s aircraft designers were dreaming of speeds that not only exceeded the speed of sound but much much faster than that. The Douglas X-3 Stiletto was one such aircraft. The Stiletto was intended to fly at twice the speed of sound – an extremely impressive feat for the early 50s. But, two years later, the requests for proposals in December 1954 set out specifications for an aircraft to test a new engine type, Mach 5+ flight and new altitudes never seen before by an aircraft. Image But early jet engines lacked the power to propel even small and light aircraft to speeds faster than Mach 2. In an extremely oversimplifi...

Welcome back to the  Channel for a feature on the ⱱeгѕаtіɩe Amphibious аѕѕаᴜɩt Carrier that shares the same features as the Aircraft Carrier. Comments: – Congrats on your series, especially as any of the other short shows recap the old information. Your material is fresh and gives me a never seen before look, You did a great job and I love your sound! Dave in Phoenix I wonder if amphibious ships are as well protected as larger aircraft carrier s. Usually, submarines always lurk near a carrier as part of their protection screen, although you may never see them. And then the rest of a carrier task foгсe, a series of surface ships that are part of the shield of protection for the carrier , but they also have their own abilities. Another ship for the Navy to іпⱱаde Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, NASA has to ѕасгіfісe almost a whole lot of Ьɩood to ɡet a ріeсe of moпeу to further their projects. It was supposed to go to Mars in 2015. Russia, and especially China, is advancing in sp...

Hermeus’ hypersonic Quarterhorse jet might just be the jet of the future, possibly retiring even Lockheed Martin’s jet of the future – the hypersonic SR-72 – before it sees the light of day. The Quarterhorse has broken new grounds and the United States Air Force is more than impressed. So much so that they’ve awarded the start-up company a $60-million contract to flight-test the Quarterhorse. Image This engine configuration means the Quarterhorse would perform effortlessly well at whatever speeds – be it the relatively low commercial airline speeds of today or at hypersonic speeds that would leave even fighter jets in the dust.

The US-2 is a capable plane that is particularly helpful during rescue operations. Introduce In the current period, only a few countries in the world are capable of designing and manufacturing seaplane s, and Japan is one of them. At this time, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force are using ShinMaywa US-2 multi-role seaplane s. A total of 6 aircraft of this type are in operation. The sixth seaplane was purchased for 12 billion yen in 2013, nearly $156 million. At such a price, US-2 can be classified as the most expensive seaplane in the world. Image The development of the ShinMaywa US-2 took eight years to complete. With the Shin Meiwa US-1A fleet introduced in the 1970s beginning to reach the end of its service life, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force attempted to obtain funding for a replacement in the 1990s, but could not obtain enough to develop an entirely new aircraft. Image In October 1996, ShinMaywa was nominated by the Ministry of Defence as a main...

The A400 was never intended for verticle capability. It was designed to have short field takeoff and landing. It is a very capable aircraft. JATO has not been used on US C130 aircraft since the H model C130 was introduced in 1974. The H model -15 engines create the same power as the E models -7 engined aircraft with JATO. However, there are a few special models that still use JATO, but they are few and highly specialized. Although I’m a big fan of the C130, I must admit that it’s starting to grow a bit in the teeth now and needs replacing. A400M is a perfect replacement. It is very similar in appearance to the A400 but with greatly improved performance in all aspects! I remember seeing it fly for the first time a few years ago and was absolutely amazed and impressed! The A400M will make a long and interesting History during its service life! The most interesting thing about the A400M is that it’s the only aircraft designed by Airbus that isn’t ugly. The A220 is Airbus’...

General Dynamics Land Systems is presenting a preview of what the next-generation Main Battle Tank may look like and its capabilities in its Abrams-X technology demonstrator being debuted at AUSA (Booth 800).   Tim Reese, Director General Dynamics AUSA US Business Development, shared that “Abrams-X represents what is possible today that could be incorporated into a possible follow-on to the latest current M1A3 SEP V3 and V4 updates”. This future design replaces the manned turret and locates the entire crew of three (reduced by one crewman) forward in the hull. This move is facilitated by the incorporating an automatic loader for the XM-360 derived 120mm main gun with a ported muzzle brake. Observation and targeting relies on two 360 degree panoramic roof mounted sights which include multi-sensor next generation day, thermal, and laser ranging. It is likely the demonstrator takes advantage of digital networking and integration of platform sensors and data interlaci...

Drone, fighter jet, and helicopter, all in one – this is the future of American VTOL helicopters. At a time when world powers must be even more powerful, no Military asset can afford to not be useful in virtually every mission. As a result, traditional helicopters must now make way for a more advanced type of aircraft known as Tiltrotors. They fly faster, farther, and most importantly, they have better VTOL agility. To understand the importance of VTOL in tiltrotors, it is important to know how it works. A welcomed sight on the skies above Commonwealth armies, the Kshatriya gunship is able to unleash a wide range of firepower as it soars the skies at full speed, then retreats before what remains of the foe can even aim. Speed, as it happens with the Scimitar MK3 mech, is a key factor when it comes to the gunship’s chances of survival. Aside from small arms fire, the Kshatriya is quite vulnerable, its armor plate and shielding systems unable to handle concentrated anti...

For a country with a population of just over 10 million people, it’s impressive that Sweden can maintain one of the best fighter aircraft programs. An aircraft’s effectiveness is no longer determined mainly by how fast it can fly. Now it’s about how instant AI can interpret information and present the data for pilots to act upon in battle. Unlike US or Russian fighter s, Swedish Gripen can’t carry the most weapons, has no real stealth. To be clear, it isn’t the longest-range, the fastest, or even the cheapest jet. Nevertheless, Sweden has chosen another niche to com Pet e. The country’s focus is to develop a fighter jet with the most advanced electronics to become a nightmare for its closest adversary – Russia.

The Luftwaffe will receive increased electronic warfare capabilities on its Eurofighter Typhoons As the most modern fighter aircraft born in Europe, the Eurofighter Typhoon is a mighty iron bird with multi-role strike capabilities. And now it will be even more powerful with electronic warfare capabilities. The Luftwaffe will receive increased electronic warfare capabilities on its Eurofighter Typhoons, thanks to a partnership between Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Hensoldt. Accordingly, the Israeli and German partners signed a cooperation agreement on October 18 to combine Rafael’s Sky Shield airborne electronic warfare pod with Hensoldt’s Kalaetron Attack Technology . Once developed, the Luftwaffe will use the pod to turn its Eurofighter Typhoon into an electronic attack platform. The project is expected to be completed in 2028. The Sky Shield was developed as an all-inclusive multi-purpose escort jammer and electronic attack system. Sky Shield engages enemy radars...

The AH-64 Apache helicopter is arguable the most famous Military vehicle of them all. The first introduction of tanks during the early part of the 20th Century changed the face of modern battlefields, no longer susceptible to light arms fire, troops could cover terrain with little resistance. However, Technology waits for no man, advances in airpower have now turned the tables, the hunter is now the hunted. While ground attacked sorties are nothing new, it would the helicopter gunship that truly defined the importance of maneuverability, firepower, and stealth, combined in one package. Rotary attack helicopters are the most feared ωɛλρσɳs platform of any armored division. Arguably the most famous of all, Boeing’s AH-64 Apache set the standard for gunship design that remains at the cutting edge even today. We have become accustomed to flight displays showing their unique design and abilities, but here are some facts that might surprise even the most avid aircraft fanati...

The K2 Black Panther tank, which weighs 55 to 61 tons, strengthens the South Korean tank force that currently relies on the K1 and K1A1 tanks and the Russian-made T-80 in dealing with the advance of the North Korean army’s tank armor. Due to the presence of its neighbors to the north, South Korea must constantly be prepared for the possibility of warfare. Kim Jung-un, the leader of North Korea, regularly feels the need to show that provocative actions could occur at any time, and South Korea has responded by creating a fierce military that uses updated vehicles and weapons. Among those is the K2 Black Panther main battle tank (MBT). The K2 costs a whopping $8.5 million per unit. Each unit thus represents a significant investment in South Korean defense capabilities. South Korea’s K2 Black Panther main invulnerable tank has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s most expensive main battle tank. However, the K2 Black Panther main tank developed by Hyund...

IAF’s Sukhoi Su-30MKI is set to ɡet Rafael X-ɡᴜагd Fiber optic super sonic deсoу system. This system helps to evade Air to Air, Surface to Air Missiles as per medіа reports. X-ɡᴜагd is a сᴜttіпɡ edɡe towed deсoу solution for defeаtіпɡ advanced tracking radar, including monopole and Lobe-On-receive-only (LOBO) radar types. Towed behind the fіɡһteг aircraft, X-ɡᴜагd is deployable and retractable mid fɩіɡһt. The deсoу can be integrated with EW suite of any platform as a high-value active suite component. What Are Towed-Decoys? First, let us understand the term “deсoу”. deсoу means a thing that intends to attract someone by deceiving them. So basically Decoys on fіɡһteг aircraft work in a way, that they will attract the incoming tһгeаt and deсeіⱱe it towards themselves. And here the term “towed” means “to pull someone/something behind one object. So, basically towed decoys are such that they are рᴜɩɩed along with the aircraft and that deсoу will be part of the EW suits of a...

UH-1 Venom is considered the most successful US helicopter . Currently it is still considered the most popular helicopter line in the world. Introduce After more than 50 years in service, variants of the UH-1 multipurpose helicopter were becoming obsolete, compared to other US Army helicopter s. However, modernized variants of UH-1, typically UH-1Y Venom, also known as Super Huey, still show its role in the US Army, especially the Marines forces. The UH-1Y was developed by Bell based on its predecessor UH-1N, also known as the H-1 upgrade program. The UH-1N variant was commissioned by the US Army in the 1970s and operated until its retirement in August 2014. The UH-1Y Venom medium-sized utility helicopter variant was first introduced in 2008 and was officially commissioned by the US Marine Corps in 2009. It operated primarily on two key US Military battlefields at the time, Iraq and Afghanistan. UH-1Y Venom Design The helicopter is controlled by up to two p...
