​IDF : Fight For Independence
The SG-43 Goryunov was a Soviet medium machine gun that was introduced during the Second World War as a replacement for the older M1910 Maxim machine guns. It was mounted on wheeled mounts, tripods and armored vehicles. After the end of World War II, the SG-43 was improved and renamed SGM; dust covers and a new barrel lock were fitted, and a splined barrel was fitted to improve cooling. The SGM was widely exported and also licensed for construction in several countries, including Egypt.
The DShK 1938 ("Degtyaryov-Shpagin Large-Calibre") is a Soviet heavy machine gun firing the 12.7×108mm cartridge. The weapon was also used as a heavy infantry machine gun. It is sometimes nicknamed Dashka (darling) in Russian-speaking countries. In 1946, the DShK 1938/46 or DShKM (M for modernized) version was introduced. This was the main machine gun used by the Soviet Union and its allies until being replaced in favour of the more modern NSV and Kord designs.

The KPV-14.5 heavy machine gun is a Soviet designed 14.5×114mm-caliber heavy machine gun, which first entered service as a wheeled infantry weapon in 1949. In the 1960s, the infantry version was taken out of production because it was too big and heavy. The KPV found a new use in the ZPU series of anti-aircraft guns. Quadruple- (ZPU-4) Double- (ZPU-2) and single-barreled (ZPU-1) versions of the weapon exist and are used by over 50 armies worldwide.
ZPU-2, is a Soviet towed 14.5 mm anti-aircraft twin-barreled autocannon. It is based on the Soviet 14.5×114mm KPV heavy machine gun. The ZPU family entered service in 1949. It was designed to engage low-flying targets as well as light armoured vehicles.
ZPU-4, is a Soviet towed 14.5 mm anti-aircraft four-barreled autocannon. It is based on the Soviet 14.5×114mm KPV heavy machine gun. The ZPU family entered service in 1949. It was designed to engage low-flying targets as well as light armoured vehicles.
ZU-23-2 "Sergey", also known as ZU-23, is a Soviet towed 23 mm anti-aircraft twin-barreled autocannon. It is based on the previous 14.5mm ZPU auto cannons but with a much more powerful 23mm shell. The ZU-23-2 was developed in the late 1950s. It was designed to engage low-flying targets as well as light armoured vehicles. Development of this weapon into a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG) led to the ZSU-23-4 Shilka.
The 37 mm automatic air defense gun M1939 was a Soviet 37 mm caliber anti-aircraft gun developed during the late 1930s and used during World War II and the cold war. Guns of this type were successfully used throughout the Eastern Front. Total Soviet production was around 20,000 units, ending in 1945. The gun and its ammunition also continued to be produced in Poland, China, North Korea and Egypt. Although never as effective as the bofor gun, especially against fast jets.
The M1941 is a Soviet 82mm mortar, recognized by the Soviet Army as "82-PM-41", The M1941 was developed during World War II.
BS-3 100mm anti-tank/field gun. The is the Egyptian version with a tan/green camouflage. The gun was successfully employed in the late stages of World War II, and remained in service through the 1970s. The BS-3 was also sold to a number of other countries and in some of these countries the gun is still in service. Using HE shells it can also be used as a field gun. It is very similar to the 100mm gun used on the SU-100 and T-54/55 series tanks.
The 122 mm howitzer M1938 (M-30) was a Soviet 121.92 mm howitzer and was in produced in huge numbers from 1939 to 1955. The M-30 saw action in World War II. Post World War II the M-30 saw combat in numerous conflicts of the mid- to late twentieth century in service of other countries' armies, notably in the Middle East. The gun could fire a 21.7 kg shell to a maximum range of around 11.72 km.
The 130 mm towed field gun M-46 M1954 was manufactured in the Soviet Union in the 1950s. For many years, the M-46 was one of the longest range artillery systems around, with a range of more than 17 miles (27 km). It is generally regareded as one of the best field artillery guns of the cold war.
The 152 mm howitzer-gun M1937 (ML-20), is a Soviet heavy gun-howitzer. It was in production from 1937 to 1946. The ML-20 was one of the most successful Soviet artillery pieces of World War II. Its characteristics positioned it between classical short-range howitzers and special long-range guns.
The D-20 (also known as the M1955) is a 152mm towed howitzer. The D-20 was manufactured in the Soviet Union during the 1950s.
9M14 Malyutka (Russian; little one, NATO reporting name: AT-3 Sagger) is a manual command to line of sight wire-guided anti-tank guided missile system developed in the Soviet Union. It was the first man-portable anti-tank guided missile of the Soviet Union and is probably the most widely produced ATGM of all time.
SPG-9 73mm recoilless gun developed by the Soviet Union and used by many armies around the world. It fires a HE and HEAT projectiles similar to the gun of the BMP-1. A very useful weapon to the infantry as it is very light and powerful for its size.
The S-75 Dvina (NATO reporting name SA-2 Guideline) is a Soviet-designed, high-altitude air defence system, built around a surface-to-air missile with command guidance. The missile system was used widely throughout the world, especially in the Middle East, where Egypt and Syria used them to defend against the Israeli Air Force, with the air defence net accounting for the majority of the downed Israeli aircraft. The S-75 typically uses the Spoon Rest early warning radar which has a range of about
S-125 Neva/Pechora (NATO reporting name SA-3 Goa) Soviet surface-to-air missile system has a shorter effective range and lower engagement altitude than either of its predecessors and also flies slower, but due to its two-stage design it is more effective against more maneuverable targets. It is also able to engage lower flying targets.
The Armored Command Vehicle (ACV) includes a command version of the BTR-60 combined with a command tent. The ACV's will give the commander combat assets.
