Avro Vulcan British Subsonic BomberAvro Vulcan British Subsonic Bomber
The Avro Vulcan is a delta wing subsonic bomber that was operated by the Royal Air Force from 1953 to 1984. The Vulcan was part of the RAF bomber force of V, fulfilling the role of nuclear deterrence against the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

It was also used in a conventional bombing role during the Falklands conflict with Argentina. An example, XH558 has recently been restored for use in display flights and commemoration of the role Jets in the Falklands conflict.

AMX Brazil / Italy Fighter-Bomber Aircraft

AMX Brazil / Italy Fighter-Bomber AircraftAMX Brazil / Italy Fighter-Bomber Aircraft


The AMX Brazil / Italy Fighter-Bomber Aircraftt, designed to fly at low altitude in high subsonic missions day or night and in poor visibility. It is capable of operating from runways damaged or unprepared. It has a limited number of air-air and integrated ECM capabilities for self defense.


AMX-T two-seat variant of the AMX and used as advanced trainer. The AMX-T retains the operational capability of the single-seat version. The Venezuelan Air Force (FAV) is planning to replace its aging fleet of T-2A Buckeyes with AMX-T. The plane of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) are called A-1 (car) and TA-1 (two seats). Also the Brazilian AMX aircraft are equipped with two cannons DEFA 544 30mm, while the Italian variant is equipped with a multi-barrel M61A1 20 mm cannon.


Advanced Trainer Attack AMX (AMX-ATA) is a new two-seat AMX, multi-mission attack fighter for combat roles and advanced training. The AMX-ATA adds new sensors, a display of infrared vision, helmet-mounted, a new multimode radar for anti-air capability and anti-ship, and new weapons systems including anti-ship missiles and medium-range missiles.

B 52 Long-Range Bombers PlaneB 52 Long-Range Bombers Plane


The B 52 is an Long-Range Bombers Plane, with swept wing, a fuselage incorporating bomb bays, and eight engines in pairs of . Later the B-52 was stand-off missiles, 'Hound Dog', on pylons the wing. The 'Big Belly' modification enabled it huge bombs. The B-52 saw combat dropping bombs in Vietnam and lately Gulf. Increasingly vulnerable combat , the B-52 still offers bomb-carrying capacity; plans it were found to be too . It entered service in 1955 2020! The B-52 played with NASA as launch aircraft, carrying into air the X-15 and others. The B-52 was for recce tasks RB-52.


For years B-52 Stratofortresses manned strategic bomber force for the . The B-52 is capable of dropping or launching array of weapons U.S. inventory. This includes gravity and cluster bombs and also precision guided missiles too. Updated with technology, the B-52 continue into the century as of our national defences. Current engineering analysis show the B-52's beyond the year 2045.
The B-52A flew in 1954, B model entered service in 1955. of 744 B-52s were with the last, a B-52H, delivered in October 1962. the H model Air Force inventory are assigned to Air Combat Command.


The first of 102 B-52H's was delivered to Strategic Air Command in 1961. The H model carry up air launched cruise missiles. , it carry cruise missile was launched from B-52G models Desert Storm.


The B-52's electronic countermeasures suite is capable of protecting itself against a full of air defence threat systems by combination of electronic detection, jamming and infrared countermeasures. The B-52 detect and counter missiles the aircraft from the rear. These systems are undergoing continuous improvement to enable them to counter threat systems.

Tupolev TU-160 Rusian Supersonic Bomber

Tupolev TU-160 Rusian Supersonic Bomber

The heaviest bomber aircraft ever to be creat, the Tupolev TU-160 (NATO codename Blackjack) could be a supersonic, variable geometry significant bomber designed by the Tupolev design Bureau.



Due to the antiflash white end and wonderful maneuverability the TU-160 was nicknamed by its pilots the White Swan.There are currently 14 White Swans in service with the Russian Air Force.



In 1967 the Soviet Union launched a contest for a replacement supersonic strategic bomber.Both the Tupolev style Bureau and Myasishchev design Bureau responded to the challenge.Myasishchev proposed a variable geometry configuration and in 1973 Tupolev was assigned with the event of the new aircraft because it was considered that it had additional possibilities of finishing the project.Tupolev was to improve the Myasishchev M-18 style using all the data gained with the TU-144 Concordski, the world’s 1st supersonic civilian transport aircraft and also the Tu-22 Blinder supersonic bomber.
