## What is Guess the Cold War Weapon?

During the Cold War, the fear of conflict between the West and the Soviet bloc pushed the rapid development of weapons to give each side an advantage. By the 1950s, most air forces had traded in propeller-driven aircraft for jets and an arms race began between the nuclear-capable strategic bombers and the fast interceptors to combat them. Combat helicopters also saw major advancements. Armoured warfare tactics and technologies were revised, leading to the development of the main battle tank and the armoured infantry vehicle. In many armies, the submachine gun and the battle rifle were largely replaced by the more modern assault rifle. Submarines and missiles saw huge gains in effectiveness. Nuclear weapons in particular were made smaller and exponentially more powerful.

Test your knowledge on Cold War weapons. Includes every major tank, armored fighting vehicle, aircraft, firearm, submarine and ship from each nation which took part in the conflict. Challenge yourself to see how many you can recognize!

### 4/5 — Level problem

*2022-04-13*

On level 17 pack 15
There’s a problem, and the problem is, that in the encyclopedia it’s called KanJpz but, it won’t work because every time I refresh the words disappear.

**Developer response:** The vehicle has two shortened names, both used throughout its service life. Thank you!

### 3/5 — I got stuck

*2020-02-29*

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing !

*2019-07-25*

Have had hours of fun and intrigue with this app discovering vehicles I never even knew existed and it has helped expand my knowledge of the Cold War.

I am having trouble with one stage in particular that being Pack 17 stage 16 with the desertised apc with these six tubes on top of the hull.I used a "X" on it to find that it and I accidentally shut my IPad meaning I lost it. Despite heavy amounts of research I cannot find any evidence of this vehicle.

**Developer response:** Thank you! The order of the levels is randomly generated at the start, so I can't offer any help. Send me a screenshot on Facebook or Twitter.
