In 1983, 38 years ago, the AMX-40 was revealed for the first time. Intended for export, the tank had light armor and good mobility with heavy firepower. Unfortunately, like export models before it, the tank failed to find potential buyers and had its program shut down in 1990.
Operation W.I.N.T.E.R is almost over! Which vehicle did you got? 🤔
In January 1948, 73 years ago, the Lavochkin La-15 made its first flight. The La-15 was a competitor to the MiG-15 - however the MiG-15 was the favored fighter. Due to this, already built La-15's engines were taken out and put into the KS-1 Komet. The La-15 saw no active combat.
In January 1963, 57 years ago, the Vickers MBT made its first appearance. Vickers designed this tank to be export - being low cost, having an L7 gun and being lightly armored. India was the biggest user - they built 2,200 Vijayanta's, a licensed built version of the Vickers MBT.
