103. CV90 – Sweden

Manufacturer: Hagglunds, Bofors
Primary Users: Swedish Defense Materiel Administration
Cost: $5.11 million per unit*
Combat Vehicle 90 was designed in the eighties, specifically to navigate Nordic subarctic climates. The vehicle has no problem moving through wetlands and snow, and it can carry six to eight soldiers. The Combat Vehicle 90’s major strength is that it has a lot of variations.

Forward Observation, Armored Recovery Vehicle, Electronic Warfare, Command and Control, and more are variations of the CV90. Right now, there are fifteen variants of these vehicles in seven countries. 1,280 are in-service, with more to come. The Mk IV is the latest iteration, and it has cutting-edge developments, such as a Scania engine that gets 1,000 horsepower.

WZ-7 Xianglong – “Soaring Dragon” (China) @talhaahmad967 / Twitter.com
The Soar Dragon has an unusual-looking joined, tandem wingspan, which makes it easy to spot. The configurations have their benefits, including less complicated flight controls and a higher lift-to-drag ratio. Sixteen of these planes have been built so far, with the PLAAF using it for maritime patrol and reconnaissance missions.

Boeing F-15X Eagle (USA) @bbfaviation / Twitter.com
The Eagle is one of the most successful fighters, and it has had 100 victories and zero losses in aerial combat since it entered service in 1976. The majority of its kills have come from the IDF, which has a special affinity for the F-15. The F-15X is the latest iteration of the Eagle, and it comes with a better payload, speed, and range. Boeing said it plans for X to be a “backbone fighter” for the U.S.A.F.

The Warrior’s Combat History includes Operations Granby, Grapple, Resolute, Telic, and Herrick. It has protection against anti-tank mines, rocket-propelled grenades, missiles, and small arms.

113. The Jaguar – Israel

Manufacturer: Israel Aerospace Industries
Primary Users: IDF
Cost: Unlisted
The IDF called this their “newest, most advanced robot.” The Jaguar was developed by Israel Aerospace Industries and the IDF. It is one of the world’s first military robots that can actually act as a substitute for soldiers on the borders. The Jaguar has dozens of sensors, advanced fire capabilities, an automated driving system, and a public address system.

The Jaguar (Israel) @DefenceDecode / Twitter.com
The robot is changing the world of border protection because it acts as a substitute for combat soldiers. The Jaguar can spot and bypass obstacles, and it can drive itself (though IDF commanders still retain full operational control, just in case). One of the coolest features of the Jaguar is that it can self-destruct, should it fall into enemy hands.

114. ZiL Karatel – Russia
