As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems. We tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyzes, and tells the untold. You can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future will be. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together. © Israeli Air Force, AP Archive, Chilean Air Force, Ecuadorian Air Force, ארכיון המדינה - ISRAEL STATE ARCHIVES, ארכיון צהל ומערכת הביטחון - Israel Defense Forces and Defense Establishment Archives, U.S. Navy, Colombian Air Force, HAL, Indian Air Force, Dr. E.
