🇷🇺The Russian GAZ-3937/ GAZ-39371 "Vodnik":

This was a proposed idea for a high-mobility multipurpose military vehicle. This modular design could house a BPU-1 turret, a command module, ambulance or general closed cab to house a total of 12 passengers.

🇳🇱 MGM‑52 Lance Missile Launcher — Dutch Army, 1980:

— Seen here is an MGM‑52 Lance short range ballistic missile launcher operated by the 129 Artillery Battalion of the Dutch Army. The Lance system was a mobile, battlefield missile designed for rapid deployment and quick strikes, mounted on a tracked M752 launcher vehicle for cross‑country mobility. It had a range of roughly 70-130 km and could carry conventional or nuclear warheads, giving NATO forces a flexible tactical deterrent during the Cold War.

December 16, 1957, one of the finest military transport aircraft of the USSR — the An-12, developed by the Antonov Design Bureau named after O.K Antonov took to the skies for the first time.

It was destined to become the world’s principal “aerial workhorse” during the second half of the 20th century.

A column of T-64 tanks (Object 432) with one T-62 that somehow got mixed in, most likely the very early 1970s. Vehicles with this type of engine transmission compartment no longer exist, even in museums or as monuments, the T-64s were modernized to the T-64R standard and scrapped in the 1990s. The only possible exception is Object 619V at the Kubinka scrapyard, a serial T-64 modified to test the installation of amphibious equipment.
