Yakovlev Yak - 24 The Yakovlev Yak - 24 ( NATO reporting name Horse ) was a twin engine , tandem rotor transport helicopter developed in the USSR . Design and development . In late summer 1952 , the Soviet Union issued two design specifications for helicopters , with the intent of catching up to the United States in post - World War II helicopter development . The design for the a medium - size helicopter which could transport 12 people was issued to the Mil Design Bureau , whereas the design for a larger version capable transporting 24 people was given to the Yakovlev Design Bureau , which had not had any previous design experience on helicopters prior to this project . Yakovlev made two prototypes for flight testing , and two more for static and dynamic ground tests . The first prototype was flown on 3 July 1952 . It was powered with two 1 , 268 kW ( 1 , 700 hp ) Shvetsov ASh - 82 V radial engines and was built in a tandem rotor layout , which was not typical for Soviet helicopters , which soon brought it nickname " Letayushchiy Vagon " ( Летающий вагон ) – ' the Flying Railroad Car ' . The engines and transmission system were identical to the already - proven single - engine Mil Mi - 4 , but the Yak - 24 proved to be less successful . Its engines were linked together so each could drive one or both rotors , but such arrangement caused strong vibrations in the airframe . After problems were partially solved , the new helicopter was order for production , which began in 1955 . In July 1955 , the Yak - 24 was first presented to the public , and on 17 December 1955 it set two new world payload records , lifting a 2 , 000 kg ( 4 , 409 lb ) load to 5 , 082 m ( 16 , 673 ft ) and 4 , 000 kg ( 8 , 818 lb ) to 2 , 902 m ( 9 , 521 ft ) . The initial variant was the Yak - 24 – Army transport helicopter , that could carry up to 30 airborne troops , 18 stretchers or 3 , 000 kg ( 6 , 614 lb ) of cargo . From 1958 , the improved model Yak - 24U was produced , with all - metal rotors of bigger diameter ( 21 m / 69 ft ) and all - metal fuselage . It could carry 40 soldiers or 3 , 500 kg ( 7 , 716 lb ) of cargo , including 2 GAZ - 69 jeeps or anti - tank guns . A civilian variant for 30 passengers was the Yak - 24A , produced from 1960 in small numbers . It was also used as a flying crane , lifting an external load of 5 , 000 kg ( 11 , 023 lb ) . There were two proposed models : the Yak - 24K 9 - seat VIP salon with shorter fuselage and civilian Yak - 24P for 39 passengers with stronger 2 , 013 kW ( 2 , 700 hp ) turboshaft engines , but neither reached production . The exact number of Yak - 24 helicopters produced is unknown with estimates ranging from 40 to 100 units , depending on the source of the data . All sources agree that production was curtailed due to technical problems , and the need for a heavy transport helicopter was fulfilled by the successful Mil Mi - 6 . According to some sources , the passenger Yak - 24A was not actually produced . A surviving Yak - 24 is preserved at the Central Air Force Museum at Monino , outside of Moscow .

Avia B - 158 The Avia B . 158 was a prototype Czechoslovak twin - engined light bomber aircraft of the 1930s . Only a single example was built and it was abandoned following the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 . Development and design . In 1935 , the Czech aircraft company Avia produced the B - 58 design for a small twin - engined bomber with a fixed undercarriage and powered by two 313 kW ( 420 hp ) Avia Rk . 17 radial engines . This design was abandoned in 1936 and replaced by a more powerful and advanced derivative , the Avia B . 158 , which was designed to meet a requirement from the Czechoslovak Ministry of National Defense ( MNO ) for a high performance medium bomber , capable of operation during both day and night , competing against Aero Vodochody ' s A . 300 . In 1937 , Avia started to build a single prototype of the B - 158 , a three - seat low - winged monoplane with inverted gull - wing s , a retractable tailwheel undercarriage and 634 kW ( 850 hp ) Avia ( Hispano - Suiza ) 12Ydrs engines , making its maiden flight in mid - 1938 . It was fitted with a twin tail to give a better field of fire for the dorsal gun position . While the competing Aero A . 300 gave superior performance , neither had entered into production by the time Germany completed its conquest of Czechoslovakia . After testing by the Luftwaffe at their test centre at Rechlin , the prototype B - 158 was scrapped in 1940 .
45 mm anti - tank gun M1942 ( M - 42 ) M - 42 was a 45 - mm Soviet light semi - automatic anti - tank gun .

These guns were used from 1942 until the end of World War II . History . The M - 42 was developed by the No . 172 Plant in Motovilikha as an upgrade of the 45 mm anti - tank gun M1937 ( 53 - K ) . The gun received a longer barrel , shells with more powerful cartridges , and a thicker shield ( 7 mm instead of 4 . 5 mm ) , but of hinged construction as a need for reduced profile , requiring the weapon to be serviced by crews while kneeling . Some minor changes were also introduced in order to speed up production . These guns were used from 1942 until the end of World War II . In 1943 , due to its insufficient anti - armor capabilities against new German tanks such as Tiger , Panther and Panzer IV Ausf H , the M - 42 was partially replaced in mass production by more powerful 57 mm ZiS - 2 anti - tank gun . The M - 42 remained in production , however as it was quite effective against lighter vehicles and could pierce the side armour of Panther and Panzer IV Ausf H . Fragmentation shell and canister shot gave the gun some anti - personnel capability . Mass production of M - 42 ceased in mid - 1945 . The total number of guns produced is 10 , 843 .
