WWII Tank Found After 62 Years
After the tank surfaced, it turned out to be a trophy tank that had been captured by the German army in the course of the battle at Sinimaed (Blue Hills) about six weeks before it was sunk in the lake. Altogether, 116 shells were found on board. Remarkably, the tank was in good condition, with NO RUST, and ALL SYSTEMS (except the engine) in working condition. This is a very rare machine, especially considering that it fought both on the Russian and the German sides.

Angel Decoys
Decoy flares, "angel decoys" - as part of aerial countermeasures these heavenly pyrotechnics will protect the plane from possible missile danger when launched. IR-decoy flares serve to counter infrared-guided surface-to-air missiles (SAM) or air-to-air missiles (AAM) and contain pyrotechnic and pyrophoric payloads, expelled from a craft according to an anticipated threat. |
