On May 14th 1948, Israel declared its independence — and then managed to defend it thanks to its armed forces. This holiday is celebrated on 5 Iyar in the Hebrew calendar, which in 2023 corresponds to April 25-26, from sunset till sunset. On this day, people decorate their houses and cars with Israeli flags and have picnics, the government gives out awards for contributions to Israeli culture, and some military bases open up to visitors.

From April 25th (12:00 GMT) until April 28th (7:00 GMT)

By the end of April of 1945, Italy-based forces of the Wehrmacht and Republic of Salo had no supplies or manpower to oppose the Allies, and so on the 29th they capitulated at Caserta. However, it was the 25th of April that became Liberation Day — on this date the National Liberation Committee of Upper Italy called for all guerrillas to rise against the occupying forces and force their garrisons to surrender.

25th of April became a holiday already a year later, in 1946, and ever since, it’s celebrated by marches, parades, and placing laurels upon the grave of the Unknown Soldier.

From April 25th (10:00 GMT) until April 28th (10:00 GMT)

For hundreds of years, hussars were part of the cavalry, but technical progress in the 20th century forced them to ditch horses for tanks — which means they have a place in War Thunder! The eleventh Battle Pass season that will launch very soon is called "Her Majesty's Hussar" for a reason: its main prize, the Centurion (in its later modification), was used by hussar squadrons in the Korean War when Queen Elizabeth II was crowned.

To receive Battle Pass rewards, you need to regularly log into the game and complete tasks and challenges. Each level of Battle Pass will earn you a prize, be it a player icon, a loading screen, a title, decals, decorations, or new premium vehicles!
