<h3>German Infantry Set</h3> <p>In the middle years of WWII, most German Wehrmacht soldiers were issued with M36 uniform that was field gray with green collar, although some had the M40 with collar also in field gray. The uniform was rounded off with a helmet or cap, jack boots and - in many cases - suspenders for the trousers. Accessories such as pouches, canteen, shovel and more were usually carried, while weaponry depended upon one's rank: enlisted men would have the Kar98k rifle or MG34 machine gun, whereas non-commissioned officers wielded the MP40 submachine gun. Officers and machine gunners would frequently carry a pistol for self-defense.</p> <p>Enhance the realism of your masterpiece model or diorama with this German WWII figures set crafted using the latest scanning and modeling techniques.

<h2>“War has no gender”</h2> <h3>Servicewomen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine</h3> <p>As of October 2023, there were almost 43 thousand female servicemen in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine has one of the highest rates of women in the armed forces among the armies of the world, including NATO armies. In the past, women primarily served in auxiliary positions such as doctors, signalmen, or cooks. However, with the onset of full-scale hostilities in February 2022, more and more women have taken on combat roles such as driving combat vehicles, operating grenade launchers, machine guns, snipers, and drones. Many women also serve as commanders of combat vehicles, units, and reconnaissance groups. Lieutenant General Serhiy Naiev, the Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, emphasizes, “What unites them all is that they are true Ukrainian women who could not stay at home when their Motherland cried out for help to the world. We have noticed and felt how our women have toughened and transformed during a year and a half of large-scale invasion, surpassing, in my opinion, the legendary Amazons.”</p> <div><strong>Scale</strong></div> <div>1:35</div> <div></div> <div> <div><strong>Box size</strong></div> <div>247 x 183 x 33 mm</div> <div></div> <div> <div><strong>Number of details</strong></div> <div>53</div> </div> </div> <!---->

<h3>“Always the first”</h3> <p><strong>Air Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine</strong></p> <p>The Air Assault Forces of Ukraine were created in 2017 on the basis of the existing Highly Mobile Landing Troops, which at that time already had its own separate command. According to their purpose, the units and subunits of the Air Assault Forces are divided into airborne and air assault troops; to enhance their strike potential, tank units were added to their composition; in 2022, a separate Jaeger brigade was added. The airborne assault troops are characterized by a high level of combat readiness, mobility, the ability to perform tasks independently in difficult conditions, high motivation, and morale. A special feature of their everyday and ceremonial uniforms is a maroon-colored beret. Since 2014, this army branch has been actively involved in combat operations, first in the southwest, and with the outbreak of full-scale hostilities – in other regions of Ukraine.</p> <!---->
