Before the Pony-Mustang War most EUP message dispatch was handled by pegasi with above average flying ability. The Earth Guard did not accept pegasi into its ranks and required a pony on a motorcycle. By the end of the war, telegraph communication became more widespread.

The Equestrian Great War Heavy Tank “Abraxius” was Equestria’s answer to Mustang tanks, providing much of the same utility and breakthrough power but optimized for mass production. The vehicle had to be simple to produce and easy to service by ponies in the field.

Recent commission!
The heavy howitzer M873 had a long service life in the Griffon Army Artillery Corps. From it's introduction in the 870s through the Great War and the Griffon Civil War it remained a devastating weapon even as more modern artillery pieces came into service.

Designed as a cost-effective tank destroyer to counter Zebra or Equestrian armor in challenging terrain, the Condor MBT is central to the Royal Griffon Army's combined arms doctrine. Battle-tested by Hippogriffia and other Griffon allies, it excels in hit-and-run tactics.

The hull armor was seen as sub par and many Mk2s were lost to ammunition fires. The turret drive needed constant attention to prevent breakage from the high gravity of Tartarus d. Vision for the crew was limited and this increased the TCs workload (older drawing of same tank)

I find myself coming back to this thread again and again because it is a great encapsulation of the themes that MLPFIM has had in the background, informing the more overt ones. To me the almost militant cheerfulness of ponies is a direct result of great traumas and fears in 1/?
Did Equestria fight in a Great Pony War before the events of Friendship is Magic?

The AT-25 was a heavy assault tank fielded by Lord Tirek's land forces, participating in the original exploitation campaign on Earth and subsequent skirmishing on Tartarus. The hull is a truly gargantuan monolithic casting able to shrug off most AP rounds at medium distances.

The CT-29 was a modified scout vehicle in use by Lord Tirek's skirmishing forces. Nicknamed "Doodlebug" by Equestrian grunts, the CT-29 was a menace to armor and dismounts alike. Typical ambush configuration was four 110mm recoilless rifles loaded with HEAT or canister.

Don’t forget to clean your weapon thoroughly when you get back from the front lines. Have machine guns barrels inspected for wear and keep cloth ammunition belts dry and clean. If you are issued a new weapon take it apart and inspect the mechanism.
