The Su-30 fighter jet reaches a maximum speed of Mach 2.0 (2,125 km/h) at high altitudes, powered by twin AL-31FP turbofans. While canards and heavy ordnance like the BrahMos missile reduce this speed, it trades pure velocity for extreme agility.

The German Tiger I earned a terrifying reputation in the Second World War for its thick armour and devastating 88 mm gun.

What actually killed most German Tiger tanks in World War II?

Introduced in 1942 and fighting until May 1945, the legendary German Tiger I tank had an operational combat lifespan of less than three years before the war ended.
