I gotta go with saab jas 39 gripen the swedish made a cheap fighter jet

wiki
Not only do the Swedish make excellent cars but they also make excellent jets as well, and after reading the wiki i found out saab leases these planes out to other countries like a car dealership

The Czech Air Force has 14 Gripens on lease; these include 12 single-seat C models and two two-seat D models, in operation as of 2016.[484] 211. taktická letka (211th Tactical Squadron)

The Hungarian Air Force operates 14 Gripens (12 C-models and 2 D-models) on a lease-and-buy arrangement as of February 2017. 4 additional Gripen C were ordered in February 2024.[209][488] 'Puma' Harcászati Repüloszázad ('Puma' Tactical Fighter Squadron at 59th Air Base)

Germany's Leopard tanks have always gotten good reviews, I believe.
Airbus A440 cargo plane is good.

Always thought the SU-27 Flanker looked pretty bad arse.

Adding an obligatory “f-u commies”.

Nothing is indestructible. They've proven themselves more survivable than the Abrams.

The IJN had some spare armor plate for Yamato and her sister ships. The US Navy took it back to r
The states to experiment with. This is what an Iowa class 16 inch AP shell did to it.
