The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) assault gun was Germany's most-produced fully tracked armored fighting vehicle during World War II, and second-most produced German armored combat vehicle of any type after the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. It was built on a slightly modified Panzer III chassis, replacing the turret with an armored, fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful gun. Initially intended as a mobile assault gun for direct-fire support for infantry, the StuG III was continually modified, and much like the later Jagdpanzer vehicles, was employed as a tank destroyer.

The Panther was a German medium tank used during World War II on the Eastern and Western Fronts in Europe from mid-1943 until the end of the war in 1945. It had the armament designation Sd.Kfz. 171. Designated Panzerkampfwagen V Panther until 27 February 1944, when Hitler ordered the removal of the Roman numeral "V". The Panther was intended to counter the Soviet T-34 and replace the Panzer III and Panzer IV. However, it served alongside the Panzer IV and the heavier Tiger I until the end of the war. It is considered one of the best tanks of World War II due to its superior firepower and protection, although its reliability and mobility were less impressive; Other disadvantages were high cost, long production time (2000 man-hours), and difficulty in field maintenance.

The Wehrmacht was the combined armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1945. It consisted of the Heer (army), Kriegsmarine (navy) and Luftwaffe (air force). The designation "Wehrmacht" replaced the previously used term "Reichswehr" and became a manifestation of the Nazi regime's efforts to rearm Germany beyond what the Treaty of Versailles allowed.
After the Nazis came to power in 1933, one of Adolf Hitler's most explicit and bold moves was the creation of the Wehrmacht, a modern, offensively capable military force that fulfilled the Nazi regime's long-term goals of regaining lost territory as well as conquering new territory. and dominance over their neighbors. This required the restoration of conscription, as well as enormous investment and defense spending in the arms industry.

The Tiger I was a World War II German heavy tank that operated from 1942 in Africa and the Soviet Union, usually as part of independent heavy tank battalions. It gave the German Army its first armored fighting vehicle, which mounted the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun (derived from the 8.8 cm Flak 36). From August 1942 to August 1944, 1,347 examples were built. After August 1944, production of the Tiger I was discontinued in favor of the Tiger II.
While the Tiger I has been called an outstanding design for its time, it has also been called overdesigned, using expensive materials and labor-intensive manufacturing methods. The Tiger was prone to certain types of track failures and breakdowns, and its flight range was limited due to its high fuel consumption. It was expensive to maintain, but was generally mechanically reliable. It was difficult to transport and was vulnerable to immobilization when dirt, ice and snow froze between its overlapping and alternating road wheels in the Schachtellaufwerk manner, often wedging them tightly. This was a problem on the Eastern Front during the muddy season and during periods of severe cold.

The Hummel was a self-propelled gun based on the Geschützwagen III/IV chassis and armed with a 15 cm howitzer. It was used by the German Wehrmacht during World War II from the beginning of 1943 until the end of the war. Its artillery designation was Sd.Kfz 165. The Hummel was developed in 1942 after the need for mobile artillery support for tank forces was demonstrated during the invasion of the USSR.[1] Self-propelled artillery, already in service with the Wehrmacht, turned out to be ineffective.

The Panzerkampfwagen III, commonly known as the Panzer III, was a medium tank developed in the 1930s by Germany, and was used extensively in World War II. The official German ordnance designation was Sd.Kfz. 141. It was intended to fight other armoured fighting vehicles and serve alongside and support the similar Panzer IV, which was originally designed for infantry support. However, as the Germans faced the formidable T-34, more powerful anti-tank guns were needed, and since the Panzer IV had more development potential with a larger turret ring, it was redesigned to mount the long-barrelled 7.5 cm KwK 40 gun. The Panzer III effectively swapped roles with the Panzer IV, as from 1942 the last version of Panzer III mounted the 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24 that was better suited for infantry support. Production of the Panzer III ceased in 1943. Nevertheless, the Panzer III's capable chassis provided hulls for the Sturmgeschütz III assault gun until the end of the war.

The Panzer I was a light tank produced by Nazi Germany in the 1930s. The name is short for the German Panzerkampfwagen I. Design of the Panzer I began in 1932, and mass production began in 1934. Intended only as a training tank to familiarize the German Army with the concept of armored warfare, the Panzer I saw action in Spain. during the Spanish Civil War, in Poland, France, the Soviet Union and North Africa during World War II, and in China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Experience with the Panzer I during the Spanish Civil War helped German tank forces invade Poland in 1939 and France in 1940. By 1941, the Panzer I chassis design was used as the basis for tank destroyers and assault guns. Throughout its service history, there have been attempts to modernize the Panzer I, including from foreign countries, to extend the life of the design. He continued to serve in the Spanish armed forces until 1954.

So far, humans have been lucky not to face global catastrophes like those that wiped out 99% of all other species. Humans have become the most powerful species on this planet, but it is easy to forget that the forces that destroyed many of our ancestors are still at work. In this final program, "Catastrophe" describes key events over the past 75,000 years. During this time, people were exposed to a supervolcano that almost devastated entire regions of the Earth. The ensuing Ice Age, which covered Europe in kilometer-thick ice sheets, is said to have prevented the development of a complex civilization, and the ensuing cosmic catastrophe is believed to have changed the lives of the first inhabitants of North America forever.

Dinosaurs became the rulers of the Earth about 230 million years ago, eventually dominating all other species and pushing mammals into the shadows. But 65 million years ago, their planet was rocked by another massive event when, seemingly out of nowhere, the mighty dinosaurs were wiped off the face of the Earth. But without this devastating disaster, people would not be here today.
This film explores the clues that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs and ultimately led to the evolution of humans. Cutting-edge scientists, paleontologists and geologists are looking into what could be causing it and charting the story behind the widely held theory that Earth has once again been struck by a deadly asteroid.

"Wild Weasel" is the code name assigned by the United States Armed Forces, particularly the United States Air Force, to any type of aircraft equipped with anti-radiation missiles and tasked with suppressing enemy air defenses by destroying radars and surface targets. into the air Missile launchers of enemy air defense systems. "Wild Weasel's first success occurred shortly after Wild Weasel's first mission on December 20, 1965, when Captains Al Lamb and Jack Donovan captured the facility during a Rolling Thunder strike on the train station at Yen Bai, approximately 75 miles northwest of Hanoi."
The Wild Weasel concept was developed by the US Air Force in 1965, following the introduction of Soviet air defense systems and their downing of American strike aircraft over North Vietnam. The program was led by General Kenneth Dempster.
Wild Weasel tactics and techniques began to be developed in 1965 following the outbreak of Operation Rolling Thunder during the Vietnam War, and were later adapted by other countries during subsequent conflicts, as well as being integrated into the Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) program. a plan used by the United States Air Force to immediately establish air superiority before a possible full-scale conflict. Originally known by the operational code "Iron Hand" when first authorized on August 12, 1965, the term "Wild Weasel" comes from Project Wild Weasel, a United States Air Force program to develop a specialized aircraft to detect and suppress SAMs. The technique was also called the "Iron Hand" mission, although technically this term only referred to a suppression attack before the main strike.) Originally called "Project Ferret", referring to a predatory animal that enters the lair of its prey to kill it (hence: " track"), the name was changed to distinguish it from the codename "Ferret" which was used during World War II for radar countermeasures bombers.

250 million years ago, 95% of life was wiped out from the face of the Earth in the largest extinction event in history. But who was responsible? Our planet was a completely different place back then. Millions of years before the age of dinosaurs, creatures such as dicynodonts and gorgonopsians roamed the earth, while the oceans also teemed with life. Then, in a geological blink, everything changed. Life itself was almost completely destroyed in what is known as the Permian extinction. Traveling to places such as South Africa, California and Iceland, experts discover that volcanic activity in the Siberian Traps has released deadly gases from beneath the sea and raised the Earth's temperature. This accelerated global warming has led to drought and disruption of the food cycle, causing even the strongest animals to eventually succumb to these conditions.

Operation Linebacker II was an aerial bombing campaign by the United States Seventh Air Force and United States Naval Task Force 77 against targets in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) during the final period of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The operation took place from December 18 to 29, 1972, and was given several unofficial names, such as "December Raids" and "Christmas Bombings".
Unlike the interception missions of Operation Rolling Thunder and Operation Linebacker, Linebacker II was to be a "maximum effort" bombing campaign to "destroy major target complexes in the Hanoi and Haiphong areas, which could only be accomplished by B-52s." The largest US Air Force heavy bomber strikes since the end of World War II took place here. Linebacker II was a modified continuation of Operation Linebacker's bombing campaign from May to October, with the new campaign's focus shifting to B-52 attacks rather than smaller tactical fighters.

Combat air patrol (CAP) is a type of fighter flight mission. Combat air patrol is the patrol of aircraft over an objective, defended force, critical area of a combat zone, or air defense area with the goal of intercepting and destroying enemy aircraft before they reach their target. Combat air patrol applies to both land and water operations, protecting other aircraft, fixed and mobile assets on land, or ships at sea.
Known by the acronym CAP, it typically involves fighters flying in a tactical pattern or covering a defended target while searching for incoming attackers. Effective CAP schemes can include aircraft positioned at both high and low altitudes to reduce response times when an attack is detected. Modern CAPs are monitored by either the GCI or the AWACS system to provide the earliest possible warning of a defensive response.
The first CAPs were specific to carrier operations, where CAPs were used to protect a carrier battle group, but the term has become generic to both land-based and naval-based operations. Containment operations differ from fighter escort in that CAP forces are not tied to the group they are protecting, are not limited in altitude or speed, and have the tactical flexibility to counter the threat. Escort fighters typically remain close to the objective they are supporting and at the speed of the supported group as a last resort force to respond to an immediate threat. When an escort enters combat, the supported forces are left unprotected.

The first program tells the story of Earth's difficult birth and how the formation of our Moon set us on a unique path to becoming a planet ripe for life. Glowing peacefully in the night sky, it's hard to imagine that the Moon was actually born from one of the most violent and potentially destructive events in history. Four and a half billion years ago, in the chaos of the early solar system, a planet the size of Mars crashed into our young Earth with such force that its debris was sent flying into space. This is how the Moon was formed. The first film in the Catastrophe series explores the Moon's role in creating the tranquil atmosphere on Earth that ultimately allowed the emergence of life.

In modern usage, the term "gunship" refers to fixed-wing aircraft that have side-mounted heavy weapons (i.e., firing to the side) for attacking land or sea targets. These warships were configured to circle the target rather than bombard them. Such aircraft have weapons on one side configured to fire at the top of an imaginary cone formed by the aircraft and the ground when performing a pylon turn (roll turn).
In the more modern category of fixed-wing aircraft that emerged after World War II, a gunship is an aircraft that has side-mounted heavy weapons (i.e., firing to the side) for attacking land or sea targets. These warships were configured to circle the target rather than bombard them. Such aircraft have weapons on one side configured to fire at the top of an imaginary cone formed by the aircraft and the ground when performing a pylon turn (roll turn).
The Douglas AC-47 Spooky was the first known modern warship. In 1964, during the Vietnam War, the popular Douglas C-47 Skytrain transport aircraft was successfully modified by the US Air Force into a gunship with three side-firing miniguns for circling attacks. At the time, the aircraft was known as the "Dragonship", "Puff the Magic Dragon" or "Ghost" (official designation FC-47, later corrected to AC-47). Its three 7.62mm miniguns could selectively fire at 50 or 100 rounds per second. Orbiting leftward at 120 knots at 3,000 feet (910 m), the gunship could place a bullet or glowing red tracer (every fifth round) in every square yard of a football field-sized target. potentially in less than 10 seconds. And while his basic ammunition load of 45 flashes and 24,000 rounds lasted, he could do this intermittently, loitering over the target for hours.
