The development of technology have evolved very fast, it also impacted on defense machine and aircraft. The latest technology even able to develop unmanned war machine.

Talking about strategy and defense, lets have a look at US war technology. The latest info receive, the U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that the United States will use one of their most advanced war technology in Libya. As we know, the aircraft fleet predators are controlled, unmanned warfare. Future war machine model has been developed here for 50 years. Here are 5 lists unmanned war machines belong to the United States:

Posted under: Machine, Military

The MiG-27 FLOGGER, MiG-29 FULCRUM, and MiG-31 FOXHOUND were the most capable Soviet fighter aircraft during the 1970s and 1980s.

The MiG-27 FLOGGER, MiG-29 FULCRUM, and MiG-31 FOXHOUND were some of the most effective Soviet fighter aircraft built during the Cold War era. The Soviet Air Force began searching for a replacement of its MiG-21, MiG-23, and MiG-25 combat aircraft. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Soviet Air Force developed a new generation of multirole fighter and interceptor aircraft. These new combat aircraft have proliferated worldwide during the Cold War era.

The Owen Gun, which was known officially as the Owen Machine Carbine, was an Australian submachine gun designed by Evelyn (Evo) Owen in 1939. The Owen was the only Australian-designed service firearm of World War II and was the main submachine gun used by the Australian Army during the war.

Owen, an inventor from Wollongong, was 24 in July 1939 when he demonstrated his prototype .22 calibre “Machine Carbine” to Australian Army ordnance officers at Victoria Barracks in Sydney. The gun was rejected because the army, at the time, did not recognize the value of submachine guns. Following the outbreak of war, Owen joined the army as a private.

The ‘Leopard 2′ is a German main battle tank built by the German company Krauss-Maffei-Wegmann, developed in the early 1970s and first entering service in 1979, replacing the earlier Leopard 1 as the foremost MBT in the Bundeswehr. Its different versions have served in the armed forces of Germany and ten other European countries, as well as non-European countries. More than 3,200 Leopard 2s have been manufactured.

There are two main development batches of the tank, the original models up to Leopard 2A4 which have vertically faced turret armour, and the “Improved” batch, namely Leopard 2A5 and newer, which have angled arrow-shaped turret add-on armour together with a number of other improvements. (more…)

Fighter Aircraft

Posted under: Machine, Military, Weapon

Fighter aircraft are fast and maneuverable military warplanes designed to destroy other enemy combat aircraft as well as military and civilian targets. Fighter aircraft are the fastest warplanes employed for combat operations. Their velocity is over twice the speed of sound or mach two (2,450 kilometers per hour; 1540 miles per hour).

They launch their attacks from land airbases and aircraft carrier warships. Fighters are generally small in size relative to other military warplanes, such as long range strategic bomber aircraft. Fighters are armed with bombs, missiles, and machine guns or cannons and they are built with high structural strength to withstand the tremendous gravitational forces they undergo while fighting enemy warplanes. Since the 1950s, many fighter aircraft were built primarily out of titanium and aluminum metals.
