2026 is the Year of the Horse, and every horse, even a fiery one, needs horseshoes! When harnessing your trusty steed, don’t forget to take a horseshoe pouch with you, keeping your precious belongings safe.
The “ Horseshoe Pouch ” can be purchased from the in-game Item Shop for Silver Lions from February 17th (11:00 GMT) until March 16th (11:00 GMT).
The Horseshoe Pouch is available to players who have at least one researchable vehicle at rank II or higher on their account.
What’s in the pouch?
The Horseshoe Pouch contains vehicles and camouflages, decals and decorations, player icons and loading screens from past game events such as World War II Chronicles and Pages of History, World War and May events, as well as War Thunder’s birthdays. It also includes rewards from January’s Battle Passes, and even the A-26C-45! Plus useful consumables including boosters, universal backups, wagers and orders. Some items from past events have been included for the first time as coupons, meaning you’ll be able to sell them on the Market!
The Horseshoe Pouch costs 60,000 Silver Lions.
Some rewards you can find in the Horseshoe Pouch:
| “Crocodile Jaws” decal | “Emblem of the Coldstream Guards” decal | “Gladius” decoration |
| “Death valley sign” decoration | “Douglas MacArthur” player icon | “Colt–Browning M1895” decoration |
