<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I haven't written anything about II WW military so here you go. As you see planes are my favorite thing in whole warfare. But this one is special. In fact it didn't fight in Europe, but its main role was in North Africa. That's why it isn't well-known. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Curtiss P-40 Warhawk</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> was an American single-engine, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk
which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into
production and operational service. The Warhawk was used by the air
forces of 28 nations, including those of most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in front line service until the end of the war. P-40s first saw combat with the British Commonwealth squadrons of the Desert Air Force (DAF) in the Middle East and North African campaigns, during June 1941.</span><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-nijbrw_3-0" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></sup><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> The Royal Air Force's No. 112 Squadron was among the first to operate Tomahawks, in North Africa, and the unit was the first Allied military aviation unit to feature the "shark mouth" logo.</span></div>

I think Vietnam War can be called the last big war so far. Helicopters played a big role in it and I don't know what would happen if Americans hadn't had them. I'll write about one of them. The Bell AH-1 Cobra is a two-bladed, single engine attack helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It shares a common engine, transmission and rotor system with the older UH-1 Iroquois. The AH-1 is also referred to as the HueyCobra or Snake.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The AH-1 was the backbone of the United States Army's attack helicopter fleet, but has been replaced by the AH-64 Apache in Army service. Upgraded versions continue to fly with the militaries of several other nations. The AH-1 twin engine versions remain in service with United States Marine Corps (USMC) as the service's primary attack helicopter. Surplus AH-1 helicopters have been converted for fighting forest fires.</span></div>

The <b>Mikoyan MiG-35</b> (Russian: <span lang="ru">Микоян МиГ-35</span>, NATO reporting name: <b>Fulcrum-F</b>) is a further development of the MiG technology. It is classified as a 4++ generation jet fighter.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"></sup>
The first prototype was a modification of the aircraft that previously
served as MiG-29M2 model demonstrator. 10 prototypes have been built so
far and are currently subject to extensive field trials.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Russia_begins_testing_MiG-35_2-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan_MiG-35#cite_note-Russia_begins_testing_MiG-35-2"></a></sup>
The MiG-35 is now classed as a medium-weight aircraft because its
maximum take-off weight has increased by 30 percent, exceeding its
previous criteria of classification.<br />
MiG Corporation first officially presented the MiG-35 internationally during the Aero India 2007 air show. The MiG-35 was officially unveiled when the Russian Minister of
Defence, Sergey Ivanov, visited Lukhovitsky Machine Building Plant
"MAPO-MIG".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan_MiG-35#cite_note-4"></a></sup>The single seat version is designated MiG-35 and the two-seat version
is MiG-35D. The fighter has vastly improved avionics and weapon systems,
notably the new AESA radar.<br />

I'm sure you know it from CoD or other games. The Harrier, informally referred to as the Jump Jet, is a family of British-designed military jet aircraft capable of vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) operations. The Harrier family is the only truly successful design of this type from the many that arose in the 1960s.<br />
There are four main versions of the Harrier family: Hawker Siddeley Harrier, British Aerospace Sea Harrier, Boeing/BAE Systems AV-8B Harrier II, and BAE Systems/Boeing Harrier II. The Hawker Siddeley Harrier is the first generation-version and is also known as the AV-8A Harrier. The Sea Harrier is a naval
strike/air defence fighter. The AV-8B and BAE Harrier II are the US and
British variants respectively of the second generation Harrier
aircraft.<br />
Historically the Harrier was developed to operate from ad-hoc
facilities such as car parks or forest clearings, avoiding the need for
large air bases vulnerable to tactical nuclear weapons. Later the design was adapted for use from aircraft carriers.<br />

Now something about the fastest helicopter of the world. Westland Lynx is a British multi-purpose military helicopter designed and built by Westland Helicopters at its factory in Yeovil.
Originally intended as a utility craft for both civil and naval usage,
military interest led to the development of both battlefield and naval
variants. The Lynx went into operational usage in 1977 and was later
adopted by the armed forces of over a dozen nations, primarily serving
in the battlefield utility, anti-armour, search and rescue and anti-submarine warfare roles. In 1986 a specially modified Lynx set the current Fédération Aéronautique Internationale's official airspeed record for helicopters. In 1972, a Lynx broke the world speed record over 15 and 25 km by flying
at 321.74 km/h (199.92 mph). It also set a new 100 km closed circuit
record shortly afterwards, flying at 318.504 km/h (197.91 mph).</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I'm Polish, so I support my army, which isn't in good condition right now. Anyway, a new assault rifle is currently being worked on. It's called MSBS Radon.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It looks like this:</span></div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">It doesn't seem any different from other modern weapons, does it?</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It is 720mm (28in) bullpup and 980mm (39in) normal. Cyclic rate is around 700-750 RPM and effective rate is around 90-100 RPM It will use standard 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition, which means the cartridges will be interchangeable with M16. That's a really good thing in my opinion. It's going to be build in 5 varieties including carbine, sniper rifle and light machine gun. First prototypes have already been produced. It will enter the service around 2014. It will be used instead of outdated rifle <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kbs_wz._1996_Beryl">Beryl</a> (its production was started back in 1997), which was made to replace old Soviet rifles.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">So, keep fingers crossed for Polish army!</span></div>
