The GAZ-AAA was a significant vehicle in the Soviet military history, serving as a backbone for Red Army transportation during World War II. It was used in various roles, including as a mobile air-defense system, anti-aircraft unit, and even as infantry support.
The GAZ AA truck played a crucial role in the Soviet military during the 1930s and World War II. It was the backbone of Soviet civilian and military logistics, serving in both army and national economy.
The M3A5 medium tank upgrades included, Diesel-engined variant with rivetted hull; Twin GM 6-71 diesel engines coupled together to make the GM6046 powerpack; Side doors welded shut or later eliminated. 591 M3A3 medium tanks were built, 387 as Grant IIs, 23 supplied to Brazil.
The M3 Lee, officially Medium Tank, M3, was an American medium tank used during World War II. The turret was produced in two different forms, one for US needs and one modified to British requirements to place the radio next to the commander. In British Commonwealth service, the tank was called by two names: tanks employing US-pattern turrets were called "Lee", named after Confederate general Robert E. Lee, while those with British-pattern turrets were known as "Grant", named after Union general Ulysses S. Grant.

The Sd.Kfz. 161, also known as the Panzer IV, was a medium tank developed in Nazi Germany in the late 1930s and used extensively during World War II as well as later wars. It was the most numerous German tank and the second-most numerous German fully tracked armored fighting vehicle of the war, with 8,553 units produced. The Panzer IV was initially designed for infantry support but evolved to become the primary tank for German forces due to its ability to engage enemy armor effectively. It was the only German tank to remain in continuous production throughout the war, with over 8,800 units produced between 1936 and 1945.

The Panzer IV was originally intended to be used only on a limited scale, so initially Krupp was its sole manufacturer. Prior to the Polish campaign, only 217 Panzer IVs had been produced: 35 Ausf. A; 42 Ausf. B; and 140 Ausf. C; in 1941, production was extended to Vogtländische Maschinenfabrik ("VOMAG") (located in the city of Plauen) and the Nibelungenwerk in the Austrian city of St. Valentin.

The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) was an assault gun produced by Germany during World War II. It was the most-produced German fully tracked armoured fighting vehicle, and second-most produced German armored combat vehicle of any type after the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. It was built on a slightly modified Panzer III chassis, replacing the turret with an armored, fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful gun. Initially intended as a mobile assault gun for direct-fire support for infantry, the StuG III was continually modified, and much like the later Jagdpanzer vehicles, was employed as a tank destroyer.

The Panzerbeobachtungswagen IV (Pz. Beob. Wg. IV) was an artillery observation vehicle built on the Panzer IV chassis. This, too, received new radio equipment and an electrical generator, installed in the left rear corner of the fighting compartment. Panzerbeobachtungswagen worked in cooperation with Wespe and Hummel self-propelled artillery batteries.
