IAR-80C ROMANIAN FIGHTER
Description: The IAR 80 was a Romanian World War II low-wing, monoplane, all-metal construction fighter aircraft. When it first flew, in 1939, it was competitive with most contemporary designs like the German Bf 109E, the British Hawker Hurricane and the Supermarine Spitfire. However, production problems and lack of available armament delayed entry of the IAR 80 into service until 1941. Although there were plans to replace it fairly quickly it was forced to remain in front-line use until 1944, when – even if for some aspects outdated – it still could compete under certain conditions with more modern aircraft such as the Lockheed P-38 Lightning.
Description: The Mil Mi-10 (NATO reporting name Harke) was a Soviet military transport helicopter of flying crane configuration, developed in 1962 from the Mi-6. It entered service in 1963.
It was built as the short-legged ("Mi-10K") version, and the long-legged ("Mi-10R") version. It is powered by two 5,500 shp (4,100 kW) Soloviev D-25 turboshafts. The Mi-10 uses a closed circuit camera system that scans forward from under the rear fuselage and downward through the sling hatch to watch the payload and landing gear and for touchdown.

Description: The Yakovlev Yak-25 (NATO designation Flashlight-A/Mandrake) was a swept wing, turbojet-powered interceptor aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft built by Yakovlev and used by the Soviet Union.
The Yak-25 originated from a need for long-range interceptors to protect the USSR’s northern and eastern territory.
A reconnaissance derivative of the Yak-25, the Yak-25RV (Razvedchick Vysotnyj, "high-altitude reconnaissance"), was developed in 1959 (NATO codename ’Mandrake’). A few were used in the late 1970s for monitoring of radioactive contamination, with specialized sensors; these were designated Yak-25RRV
