OK - it is an aeroplane, which time of service spanned from pre- to post-WW2.

C'mon guys !! It is not that hard...

Is "it" DC-3?

Mark V · Post by **Mark V** » 31 Aug 2003 23:07

Nope. Cut the engine number to half of DC-3s and across the pond and you are closer...

I want to emphasize that the key to this question is technical in it's nature. What "brands" of equipment might aeroplane use ?? ...maybe it is about motive power

Me 109?

Correct.

The "brands" are:

1) Rolls-Royce (used post-war by Spanish)
2) Junkers (used post-war by Czechs)

...and the highly esteemed but not quite so glamorous as first one is ofcourse Daimler-Benz

...and the nick-name "mule".

Well done, it is your turn again.

Correct!

My source gives the name "Stoikij", but I think were talking about the same ship.

I have info that 82. Armour Brigade (Sirian) was equipped wit T-72 and T-62. I'm thinking of battle of Sultan Jakub, where Israely forces destroyed 11 T-72 and 13 T-62 and demaged at least once more tanks.

Your turn!
