A nuclear weapon (a.k.a. Nuke) is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. There are 2 different types of Nukes; the Atomic Bomb, and the Hydrogen Bomb.

The first fission ("atomic") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of TNT. The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10,000,000 tons of TNT.

Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction, and their use and control has been a major focus of international relations policy since their debut.

A Light Machine Gunner is a soldier armed with a light machine gun (LMG), which is a machine gun designed to be employed by an individual soldier, with or without an assistant, and as a front-line infantry support. Light machine guns are often used as squad automatic weapons.

A LMG may be identified either by the weapon or by its tactical role. It is most commonly used for sustained-fire, 15 to 30 Round bursts, and commonly are deployed with a bipod. A LMG can be fired on the move or from the hip, but is very inaccurate. They are best used from a crouch or prone stance making use of the bipod.

A rocket launcher (a.k.a. Bazooka) is any device that launches a rocket-propelled weapon, although the term is often used in reference to mechanisms that are portable and capable of being operated by an individual.

Specific types of rocket launchers within this group include the rocket-propelled grenade, better known as the RPG, which is a type of shoulder-launched anti-tank weapon designed by the Soviet Union; the anti-tank guided missile, a guided missile primarily designed to hit and destroy heavily-armored tanks and other armored fighting vehicles; and the Man-portable air-defense systems, which provides shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles.

A sniper is a marksman who shoots targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the capabilities of regular personnel. Snipers typically have specialized training and distinct high-precision rifles.

In addition to marksmanship, military snipers are also trained in camouflage, field craft, infiltration, reconnaissance and observation. Snipers are especially effective when deployed within the urban terrain of urban warfare, or jungle terrain of jungle warfare.

The term sniper was first attested in 1824 in the sense of the word "sharpshooter". The verb "to snipe" originated in the 1770s among soldiers in British India where a hunter skilled enough to kill the elusive snipe was dubbed a "sniper".

An armored vehicle (or AFV) is a military vehicle, protected by strong armor and armed with weapons. An AFV can be wheeled or tracked. AFVs are classified according to their intended role on the battlefield and characteristics. However, this classification is not absolute. At different times, different countries will classify the same vehicle in different roles.

The armored car is a wheeled armored vehicle, lighter than other armored fighting vehicles, primarily being armored and/or armed for self-defense of the occupants. Other multi-axle wheeled military vehicles can be quite large, and actually be superior to some smaller tracked vehicles in terms of armor and armament.

A tank is a tracked, armored fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat which combines operational mobility and tactical offensive and defensive capabilities. Firepower is normally provided by a large-caliber main gun in a rotating turret and secondary machine guns, while heavy armour and all-terrain mobility provide protection for the tank and its crew, allowing it to perform all primary tasks of the armored troops on the battlefield.

Tanks were developed and first used in combat by the British during World War I as a way to break the deadlock of trench warfare. However, they used a large amount of fuel, and had many Mechanical problems. However, they still were a great influence during WW1, and were improved upon in-between WW1 and WW2.

Originally applied to any group of infantry primarily armed with projectile weapons, artillery has over time become limited in meaning to refer only to those engines of war that operate by projection of munitions far beyond the range of effect of personal weapons.

There are two main types of Artillery; Self-Propelled Artillery (or Mobile Artillery), Artillery Rockets, and Towed Artillery. Self-Propelled Artillery are high mobility vehicles, usually based on caterpillar track carrying either a large howitzer or other field gun or alternatively a mortar. Rocket artillery is a type of artillery equipped with rocket launchers instead of conventional guns or mortars.

A submarine is a watercraft capable of independent operation below the surface of the water. The term submarine most commonly refers to large crewed autonomous vessels; however, historically or more casually, submarine can also refer to medium sized or smaller vessels, remotely operated vehicles or robots.

Submarine was shortened from the term "submarine boat", and is often further shortened to "sub". Submarines are referred to as "boats" rather than as "ships", regardless of their size. The primary defense of a submarine lies in its ability to remain concealed in the depths of the ocean. Early submarines could be detected by the sound they made. Water is an excellent conductor of sound, and submarines can detect and track comparatively noisy surface ships from long distances. Modern submarines are built with an emphasis on stealth.

A battleship is a large armored warship with a main battery consisting of heavy caliber guns. Battleships were larger, better armed and armored than cruisers and destroyers. As the largest armed ships in a fleet, battleships were used to attain command of the sea and represented the apex of a nation's naval power.

The dreadnought was the predominant type of 20th-century battleship. The first of the kind, the Royal Navy's Dreadnought had such an impact when launched in 1906 that battleships built after her were referred to as 'dreadnoughts‘. Her design had two revolutionary features: an 'all-big-gun' armament scheme and steam turbine propulsion.

An aircraft carrier is a warship designed with a primary mission of deploying and recovering aircraft, acting as a seagoing airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project air power worldwide without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations.

As "runways at sea," modern aircraft carriers have a flat-top deck design that serves as a flight deck for take-off and landing of aircraft. Aircraft take off to the front, into the wind, and land from the rear.

An attack helicopter is a military helicopter specifically designed and built to carry weapons for attacking targets on the ground, such as enemy infantry, armored vehicles and structures.

Weapons used on attack helicopters can include auto cannons, machine-guns, rockets, and guided missiles such as the Hellfire.

Today's attack helicopter has two main roles: first, to provide direct and accurate close air support for ground troops, and the second, in the anti tank role to destroy enemy armor concentrations.

A Fighter Aircraft is a military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat with other aircraft, as opposed to a bomber, which is designed primarily to attack ground targets by dropping bombs. Fighters are small, fast, and maneuverable. Many fighters have secondary ground-attack capabilities, and some have multiple roles, such as fighter-bombers.

A key attribute of modern-day fighters is very-low-observables stealth. Great care has been taken in designing its layout and internal structure to minimize chances of detection and tracking radar frequencies; furthermore, to maintain its stealth during combat operations, primary weapons are carried in internal weapon bays that are only briefly opened to permit weapon launch.

A bomber is a military aircraft designed to attack ground and sea targets, by dropping bombs on them, or, in recent years, by launching cruise missiles at them. There are three types of bombers; Strategic Bombers, Tactical Bombers, and Fighter Bombers.

Strategic Bombers are primarily designed for long-range strike missions with bombs against strategic targets such as supply bases, bridges, factories, shipyards, and entire cities, in order to damage an enemy's war effort.

Tactical Bombers are smaller aircraft that operate at shorter range, typically along with troops on the ground.

Fighter Bombers are multi-role combat aircraft which can (at least theoretically) be equipped for either air-to-air combat or air-to-ground combat. Many fighter bombers were also designed to engage in aerial combat immediately after attacking ground targets.
