109 years ago today, a new type of weapon made its combat debut during the First World War: the tank! Watch our video dedicated to this anniversary, check out the early British Javelin F.(A.W.) Mk.9 interceptor, study various defense systems and master the unique tactics of each Sukhoi strike aircraft!
Don’t forget, you can now use video subtitles!
How It Works: Defensive Aids Systems
Modern military vehicles, both aircraft and ground machines, are equipped with a variety of defensive aids systems. Some warn the crew about threats, while others also react to them, deploying countermeasures automatically. We’d like to make a short review of defensive aids systems implemented in War Thunder.
Tactics: Sukhoi Strike Aircraft
The strike aircraft designed by Sukhoi became, without exaggeration, a true symbol of frontline aviation in the USSR and across the post-Soviet world. War Thunder features an extensive lineup of these vehicles, ranging from the first supersonic attack jet, the Su-7, to the modern Su-34. Despite their shared purpose, each model has its own distinct features and requires a unique approach in combat, something we are going to explore together!

Welcome to Thunder Show and the luckiest moments of the past week! They’re lucky because this episode features an anomalous amount of number three which is considered lucky in many cultures and traditions.
Javelin F.(A.W.) Mk.9: “Supersonic”
It’s been almost seven years since the “Supersonic” update. It introduced the supersonic MiG-19 and F-100 fighters that remain popular even today. However, the third aircraft added by the update has been kind of overshadowed by its counterparts. In this video we’d like to dust off a British interceptor, the Javelin F.(A.W.) Mk.9.
First Tank Battle
On the 15th of September, 1916, exactly 109 years ago, the world witnessed an event that forever changed the image of war. It happened in France, near the Somme River. The British army was assaulting German trenches when it deployed a brand-new weapon: armored, tracked monsters created specifically to breach defensive lines.
