43 years ago, the T-80B made its first appearance. The T-80 was the first MBT in the world to be powered by a turbine engine. Compared to the original model, the B variant offered many upgrades; but its defining characteristic was the ability to fire ATGMs from its main gun. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EtDw7LlXYAIOVi2.jpg

Looks like those new reconnaissance planes can really punch above their weight :D http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1488149145823105026/pu/img/ev3-7DEMiomQZqjU.jpg

@3Sentry Got to see if they would fit - they're good as a backup for your main ship, as a plane alone, not so sure :D

The Ki-108 took to the skies 77 years ago. It was an high-altitude interceptor converted from the Ki-102 attack aircraft, featuring an hermetically sealed c*ckpit. Built to destroy B-29 bombers, only 4 were made due to Japan's worsening war situation. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FKcw-cSWUAQStPa.jpg

In 1942, 81 years ago, the Re.2001 CN flew for the first time. The CN was the night fighter/bomber fighter variant of the Re.2001 series. Jack Rae, New Zealand's best Spitfire pilot, stated the Re.2001 was a dangerous opponent and found it difficult to line up good shots. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FnzGOtOWYAAHf2V.jpg
