The Yakovlev Yak-130 (NATO reporting name: Mitten) is a subsonic two-seat advanced jet trainer and light fighter originally developed by Yakovlev and Aermacchi as the "Yakovlev-Aermacchi Yak-130/AEM-130". It has also been marketed as a potential light attack aircraft. Development of the aircraft began in 1991 and the maiden flight was conducted on 25 April 1996. In 2002, it won a Russian government tender for training aircraft and in 2009 the aircraft entered service with the Russian Air Force. As an advanced training aircraft, the Yak-130 is able to replicate the characteristics of several 4+ generation fighters as well as the fifth-generation Sukhoi Su-57. It can also perform light-attack and reconnaissance duties, carrying a combat load of 3,000 kg.
Yak-130 is an advanced pilot training aircraft, able to replicate characteristics of Russian 4th and 5th generation fighters. This is possible through the use of open architecture digital avionics compliant with a 1553 Databus, a full digital glass cockpit, four-channel digital Fly-By-Wire System (FBWS) and Instructor controlled and variable FBWS handling characteristics and embedded simulation. The type also has a Head-up display (HUD) and a Helmet-Mounted-Sighting-System (HMSS), with a double GPS/GLONASS receiver updating an Inertial Reference System (IRS) for highly accurate navigation and precision targeting. The developer estimates that the plane can cover up to 80% of the entire pilot flight training program.

9K720 Iskander Missile SS-26 Stone - Mobile Short-Range Ballistic Missil...
9K720 Iskander-M/SS-26 Stone is a short range tactical ballistic missile system designed to be used in theater level conflicts. It is intended to use conventional or thermonuclear weapon warheads for the engagement of small and area targets (both moving and stationary), such as hostile fire weapons, air and anti-missile defenses, command posts and communications nodes and troops in concentration areas, among others.
The Iskander / Iskander-M system is combined of six types of vehicles. The Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) is based on the new BAZ6909 eight-wheeled truck chassis. Fully loaded with two missiles, a TEL weighs 40 tons. The transporter loader also carries two missile reloads. The mission preparation station is equipped to process intelligence data, converting it to target data fed to the missile's navigation system. Command and staff vehicle, maintenance and life support vehicles complete the Iskander's unit. After launching, the vehicle immediately leaves the area seeking the safety of another concealed area.

IFV Marder - A German Infantry Fighting Vehicle
The Marder (German for "marten") is a German Infantry Fighting Vehicle / IFV operated by the German Army as the main weapon of the Panzergrenadiere (mechanized infantry) from the 1970s through to the present day. Developed as part of the rebuilding of Germany's armoured fighting vehicle industry, the Marder has proven to be a successful and solid infantry fighting vehicle design. While it used to include a few unique features, such as a fully remote machine gun on the rear deck and gun ports on the sides for infantry to fire through, these features have been deleted or streamlined in later upgrade packages to bring it more in line with modern IFV design (the MG has been moved to be a coaxial, the gun ports entirely welded shut and uparmored). It is overall a simple and conventional machine with one large rear exit hatch and three top hatches for mounted infantry to fire from. The Marder is currently being replaced by its successor, the Puma.

DELTA FORCE - 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta - 1st SFOD-D
Delta Force also known as 1st Special Forces Operational
Detachment-Delta(1st SFOD-D), Combat Applications Group (CAG), Task
Force Green (TF Green) or simply The Unit, is the US Army's elite
counter-terrorism unit.
According to Eric Haney, the unit's Operator
Training Course is approximately six months long. While the course is
constantly changing, the skills taught broadly include the following:
- Marksmanship
The trainees shoot without aiming at stationary targets at close range
until they gain almost complete accuracy, then progress to moving
targets.
Once these shooting skills are perfected, trainees
move to a shooting house and clear rooms of "enemy" targets – first one
only, then two at a time, three, and finally four. When all can
demonstrate sufficient skill, "hostages" are added to the mix.
