For me, it'd have to be that damn chopper.

God, I love that helicopter. Seeing that unmistakeable silhouette in the air and knowing it's coming for you is enough to make brave men piss themselves. The AH-64D Apache Longbow variant is characterised by the squat, circular radar dome positioned above the main rotor. It is the latest and best in the AH-64 series, and has the capability to paint a virtual picture of the battlefield, relaying information such as enemy positions to other aircraft and support units. Like the Super Cobra, the Apache is designed to hug the ground until it's in a position to launch an attack. It can carry the same armament loadouts as the AH-1Z, and its 30mm chain gun can wipe out infantry and peel open a tank like a tin can through sheer volume of fire.
A notable feature of the AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire is its fire and forget capability. It can be locked onto a target detected by the Apache's radar dome. After the missile has been released, it will arc a significant distance into the air before coming down on its target. Simply put, the Apache Longbow can engage and destroy armored targets and AA emplacements from behind the cover of a hill without exposing itself to enemy fire. The missile has two fire modes: LOBL (Lock On Before Launch) in which the target is designated by the gunner before firing, and LOAL (Lock On After Launch). In the latter mode, the Hellfire missile is fired and rises into the air before acquiring and locking on to a target - it will then attack said target. The missile's computer is designed to identify friendly units, and will not attack them.

These things are just sooo cool, you can put gun turrets on them, small SAM units, the active denial system, and even use it as a small transport!
From Wikipedia:The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) is a military 4WD motor vehicle created by AM General. It has largely supplanted the roles formerly served by smaller Jeeps such as the M151 1/4 ton MUTT, the M561 "Gama Goat", their M718A1 and M792 ambulance versions, the CUCV, and other light trucks. Primarily used by the United States military, it is also by a number of other countries and organizations and in civilian adaptations.

That's outdated and incorrect. It was a failure because the Soviet generals/commanders were ordering the use of blitzkrieg tactics which is more useful for places with road networks that were mapped out, while most of the fights were on badly mapped terrain with no landmarks. So basically, combine bad tactics with untrained and unskilled conscript grunts running amok with hardly any means of communication.

My dad also worked for Antonov at one point. I'm not allowed to specify what he did other than the fact that he was an engineer.

As far as I know, it's a 150cc Vespa, it was used by the French as a cheap AT weapon.

The British Mark series tank, today its considered rudimentary but it was a milestone leap of warfare technology at the time. The armor on these tanks are not that good since even pistol rounds can somewhat penetrate it. Though if you were an WWI Axis solider facing this war machine, you'd be pissing in your pants because its damned huge and its shooting at you.
Here's a video on how it looks.

The Military Channel's failure of properly naming it but with good information.
