Dr Jonathan Hunt is shortly to attend a conference at the UN Headquarters, to commorate the 50th anniversary of the agreement to define which countries are allowed to have nuclear nuclear weapons, and which countries which develop nuclear weapons face the consequences of sanctions.
The politics of non-aligned and third world countries pursue a policy of anti-nuclear weapons, The countries that had nuclear weapons in their arsenal, pursued a policy of bluff, in trying to persuade other countries, in not developing their own nuclear weapons. From the original nuclear weapons countries of the USA, Soviet Union, UK and France, the expansion of countries that introduced nuclear weapons into their arsenals, tended to be in Middle East and Asia, but surprisingly not Eastern Europe.
When President Khrushov of the Soviet Union visited the neighbouring communist country of China, China was in the middle of a military crisis, known as the 2nd Taiwan crisis, with the USA supporting Taiwan by sending its powerful naval fleet to carry out naval exercises in the Taiwan straits. This combined with the overthrow of the Iraqi monarchy and the attempted overthrow of the government in Jordan, which led to British troops been sent to restore order
Ireland , an European country, but not part of NATO, tried to introduce a proposal at the United Nations, a new world law, governing the development of nuclear weapons and energy, and to introduce a new world order, with the intention to prevent other countries introducing nuclear weapons. This new proposal failed, as the world super powers, the USA and the Soviet Union, did not see this proposal in their interest. Nuclear weapons are cheaper than a conventional weapons and standing armies.
In 1961, the world super powers, the USA and the Soviet Union, agreed to discuss, a limitation of nuclear weapons, but neither country had any intention to carry this out.
The Soviet Union decided to prevent China from developing its nuclear weapons, as the Russians feared that they might be dragged into a nuclear war, on behalf of China
When J.F. Kennedy became President of the USA, the US military became disillusioned with the President, as he refused to allow the US military to use nuclear weapons in Vietnam.
The most well know flash point in the 1960s, was the Cuban crisis, but there were many other flash points during this period of the cold war. The US cabinet did not care whether Soviet Union nuclear weapons were based in either Cuba or Russia, The problem, was that the USA had told the Soviet Union, to withdraw its nuclear weapons from Cuba, and while the Cuban crisis continued, there was a real fear, that President Kennedy would be impeached. The Soviet Union proposed a new nuclear policy to apply to the other countries of the world. The Soviet Union had a real that President Castro of Cuba would take unauthorized (nuclear) action the USA.
China took advantage of the Cuban crisis, by invading several Himalayan Indian states. The USA was concerned that the most serious problem facing the world , was the possibility might use its nuclear weapons
President Kennedy in his second most important speech, hints at a possible dente with Soviet Union, while at the same time portraying himself to the American people as a ‘concerned’ President, ‘looking after the American children’. President Kennedy sends an envoy to the Soviet Union, proposing a strategy, to isolate China. The Soviet Union replied, that it will only intervene, when China will use its nuclear weapons
The 18 nations of the UN disarmament committee, includes 8 non-nuclear countries, which has a significant influence on any international nuclear policy. President Johnson of the USA is persuaded that a nuclear treaty with the Soviet Union (never mind the details) will leave a positive view with the American voters | weapons_science |
https://pixelkin.org/2017/07/28/all-14-weapon-types-in-monster-hunter-world-featured-in-video-series/ | 2024-03-04T21:17:57 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476532.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20240304200958-20240304230958-00776.warc.gz | 0.903648 | 424 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__45206195 | en | Monster Hunter: World isn’t coming until 2018, but Capcom has revealed mini-gameplay videos highlighting each of the weapon types available. That’s 14 30-second videos. Each video has been combined into three longer trailers with narration, categorizing the weapons into Light, Heavy, and Technical.
Light Weapons includes Sword & Shield, Dual Blades, Long Sword, and Light Bowgun. Sword & Shield and Dual Blades let you stay quick and nimble, with the latter favoring a more offensive style. The Long Sword is your traditional 2-handed greatsword, only lighter. The Light Bowgun looks like a semi-automatic crossbow.
Heavy Weapons is home to the Greatsword, Hammer, Lance, Gunlance, and Heavy Bowgun. The Greatsword is lovingly referred to as “ye old faithful,” capable of large damage at the cost of mobility. The Hammer provides a similar style but with more stunning attacks. The Lance is more well-rounded, including a shield for defense. The Gunlance transforms your lance into a slow-firing rifle, giving you increased range options. The Heavy Bowgun provides mortar shells and machine gun blasts for huge long-range damage.
Technical Weapons is the “Other” category of Monster Hunter: World. They include the Switch Axe, Charge Blade, Insect Glaive, Hunting Horn, and Bow. Both the Switch Axe and Charge Blade offer unique transforming options mid-fight. The Insect Glaive lets you dash in mid-air. The Hunting Horn is the oddest weapon, a fighting instrument designed for the aspiring bards out there. The Hunting Horn can also provide buffs and support to allies. The Bow is just a bow, and probably somewhere between a light and heavy bowgun.
Weapon types determine your primary playstyle in Monster Hunter games. In Monster Hunter: World you can change weapons mid-quest at the base camp, giving you further options for each hunt.
Monster Hunter: World launches on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Early 2018, with a PC version arriving later. | weapons_science |

With the tragic events of the past days in the United States, Gun Law has been brought into the public consciousness in an even more intense, sorrowful and passionate way than ever before. The advent of home 3Dprinted guns in now more pertinent an issue than ever.
Though some gun experts have questioned whether the 3Dprinted plastics could stand the stresses of a gun firing, theoretically in the very near future any 3Dprinter owner is able to print any gun parts at home. In US you can legally manufacture a firearm as long as you don’t manufacture it for sale, but in all the others countries there are still strict gun laws.
3Dprinted gun could indeed disrupt gun control. What will happen when guns could be spread beyond all control? | weapons_science |

This was the first major gas attack by the Germans, and it devastated the Allied line.
Immediately after the attack, France and Britain began developing their own chemical weapons and gas masks. With the Germans taking the lead, an extensive number of projectiles filled with deadly substances such as mustard gas polluted the trenches of World War I. Using sophisticated gas masks and protective clothing, however, soldiers on both sides eventually negated the military importance of chemical weapons.
The Geneva Protocol of 1925 banned the use of chemical weapons in war and the belligerents of World War II largely honored this agreement, primarily for strategic military reasons. Since then, chemical weapons have only been used in a handful of conflicts, and always against forces that lacked gas masks. | weapons_science |

Recently, the Revolutionary Guards of Iran have made public the information about many such weapons which may raise the concern of America. Recently, the Iranian Navy made a maneuver to destroy the American aircraft career by building it.
Public knowledge of drones, tanks and machine guns
The Revolutionary Guards Corps Ground Force’s Research and Self-Sufficiency Jihad Organization has made public the information of BTR-50 tanks, Meraj-1 drones, Soban-1 machine guns and radar systems. It has been claimed that Iran made these weapons using indigenous technology. At the same time, Israel had recently accused Iran of building a nuclear bomb.
BTR-50 tank is a new version of Makran tank
Iran’s BTR-50 tank is a new version of the old Makran tank. It has a 30 mm caliber automatic cannon and a 7.62 caliber machine gun in addition to the fire control system. This tank can attack accurately at night with the help of night vision camera.
Meraj-1 drone can fly at an altitude of 12000 feet
Iran has claimed that the Meraj-1 drone can fly at an altitude of 12000 feet. This drone is capable of monitoring for up to 10 hours at a speed of 140 kilometers per hour. At the same time, it is also being claimed that this drone can be operated in the maximum 1000 km range.
Soban-1 machine gun is the new version of Russia’s RPD machine gun
The Soban-1 machine gun that Iran has talked about is a new version of the Russian RPD machine gun. This machine gun is capable of firing more than 750 rounds in one minute. Iran has been using this rifle for a long time.
Iran can make nuclear bomb in two years
Israel has expressed fears that Iran is continuing its policy of uranium enrichment at the 4 percent level. A report submitted to Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that Iran is just six months away from producing all the components of an atomic bomb and could build a nuclear weapon in the next two years.
Israel can strike
According to sources, if Iran accelerates its pace of uranium enrichment then Israel will have to consider its possible measures to react. Israel is believed to be able to halt Iran’s nuclear program in any manner, including air strikes and missile strikes. | weapons_science |

The littoral combat ship will be christened in a ceremony Saturday morning in Mobile Alabama where it was built. This is the fifth Navy ship to be named the USS Cincinnati.
Cincinnati Councilman and former Mayor Dave Mann will represent the city of Cincinnati at the ceremony, he is a Navy veteran himself. He plans to present the crew with a key to the city that will be welded onto the ships control panel.
USS Cincinnati is powered by two GE Aviation marine engines that were assembled and tested in Cincinnati at the company plant in Evendale. The ship is over 400 feet long and capable of reaching speeds of almost 50mph. This combat ship is very versatile and can be used for a variety of missions including surface warfare, mine countermeasures and anti-submarine warfare.
The last Navy vessel to be named the USS Cincinnati was a nuclear sub that the Navy retired in 1996. The coning tower from that ship sits in a warehouse in Cincinnati and could one day be part of a war memorial at the Banks. | weapons_science |

Of course, activists that battle the use of nuclear energy generally try to turn that feature into a fault. They have convinced more than a few people that without nuclear power plants, the naturally-occurring material used to produce weapons would not be available.
They neglect the fact that the only two nuclear weapons ever used to harm people were created at least a dozen years before the first electricity producing nuclear reactor.
I wonder how many people really understand that about 10% of the electricity in the United States during the past 20 years has come from decommissioning nuclear weapons and turning the material into heat and elements that will never again be able to fission? | weapons_science |

The Philippine National Police on Thursday got P784 million worth of guns, vests and cars meant to “enhance the basic operational requirements of every PNP unit” in the country.
According to the PNP chief, Police Gen. Oscar Albayalde, the 95 4×4 pickups, 10,000 9mm pistols, 78 light machine guns, 3,684 combat helmets, 2,255 tactical vests and over 500,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition were part of the PNP capability enhancement program (CEP) of 2014 to 2019.
“For the last three years, we have already acquired P22 billion for our CEP,” the PNP chief added.
PNP deputy chief for operations Police Lt. Gen. Archie Francisco Gamboa, who chairs the PNP national headquarters bids and awards committee, said the weapons and other new purchases were funded through appropriations from the PNP CEP and the 2018 General Appropriations Act.
“The procurement is part of the continuing effort of the PNP leadership and the national government to enhance the firepower, mobility, communication and investigative capabilities of PNP operating units,” Gamboa said.
The new vehicles will be distributed to provincial and city headquarters, while the pistols will be issued to new police recruits, Gamboa said, adding that police mobile forces will get the ammunition, light machine guns, combat helmets and tactical vests.
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) meanwhile donated two vehicles, an armored escort van and an armored truck to the Cagayan Valley police office.
According to Albayalde, the armored vehicles were declared abandoned and seized by the BOC. | weapons_science |

- Talent : Devastating ( 5% weapon damage )
- Kneepads : Fenris Group (10% AR dmg) with Armor
- Talents : Hard Hitting and Patience
Now the best part, for the Specialization a lot of people use Sharpshooter when they go for an LMG build to get that extra reload speed and accuracy, But still it takes a lot of time to reload an LMG, To avoid this problem and also gain an extra 15% LMG dmg since we will go with the Demolitionist, we will be using Fill’er Up talent on the holster, Which is a very underrated talent imo,
- Holster : Douglas & Harding (5% Accuracy but Airaldi would be better if you have it with Fill’er Up talent) there is no Weapon dmg on the holster so eaither go with crit chance or cool down reduction or health
with Fill’er Up talent ( Reloading from empty reloads all weapons )
So here is how it goes, first I use the MG5 once it’s empty I swap to the AR and use it until it’s empty ( Remember I told you to put reload speed on the AR ? ) because we will be using it to reload the MG5 so once it’s empty it reloads the MG5 swap again and you will never realod the MG5.
Put in mind that the AR will deal a lot of damage also since we will have a total of 43% weapon damage and the 10% from the Kneepads. If you went with an SMG you will make use of the 15% smg damage from the demo.
IMPORTANT : For the sidearm I’m still looking for something with Greased talent to get that 10% swap speed,
Note : This build could be a little bit better if you used the talent Compensated on the gloves but you need to have 3 or less offense. | weapons_science |

Documents published today for the first time by the National Security Archive illustrate Washington’s efforts to keep tabs on military and scientific research and to intervene when they believed that Taiwan’s nuclear R&D had gone too far.
Today’s posting builds on and adds documentary detail to an important recent publication by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), David Albright and Andrea Stricker’s Taiwan’s Former Nuclear Weapons Program: Nuclear Weapons on Demand. Their book provides a comprehensive account of the nuclear program, in part by drawing on documents from the National Security Archive.
A key moment in the Albright-Stricker history is the January 1988 exfiltration by the CIA of a senior official Chang Hsien-yi who was embedded in Taiwan’s nuclear establishment and wanted to stop activities that he believed could endanger his country. Albright and Stricker provide the first detailed account in English of Chang’s whistle-blowing. While Chang’s relationship with the CIA remains deeply classified in government files, today’s posting includes declassified documents on the consequences of his actions.
Taiwan’s Nuclear Weapons Research and Development, 1966-1988
By William Burr
From the late 1960s into the late 1980s, U.S. government officials worried about the possibility that the Taiwanese government, officially known as the Republic of China [ROC], was secretly committed to acquiring a capability to produce a small number of nuclear weapons. According to a recently declassified telegram from September 1978, published today by the National Security Archive for the first time, the U.S. ambassador to the ROC supported a proposal to station a few U.S. scientists at nuclear installations in Taiwan. While it was not known for sure if President Chiang Ching-kuo had made a “fundamental decision” to develop a weapons capability, “if the ROC were to move in this direction they would have to conceal their effort from us at all costs.” Although U.S. scientists “could not absolutely preclude a clandestine ROC effort …. their presence would make such an effort much more difficult, by forcing still greater clandestinity.”
The proposal to station a few U.S. nuclear scientists in Taiwan never came to pass, but for years before and after 1978 U.S. government officials were watching for signs of a clandestine program to develop a nuclear weapons capability. U.S. diplomats and intelligence officers became aware of Taiwan’s nuclear interests not long after China first tested a nuclear device at Lop Nur in October 1964. Seeking a deterrent against a Chinese attack, the Taiwanese military, with the support of President Chiang Kai-shek, played a leading role in the nuclear program. Military interest in a nuclear deterrent continued when Washington began to normalize relations with Beijing in 1971 and then broke formal diplomatic relations with Taipei altogether in 1978.
U.S. government officials believed that even a few nuclear weapons would worsen Taiwan’s security situation and complicate U.S. efforts to normalize relations with Beijing while maintaining economic and security ties with Taipei. The latter’s dependence on Washington for security support gave the U.S. an influential role in Taiwan’s nuclear decisions whenever CIA and State Department officials became aware of problematic activities.
The military-controlled Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology (CSIST) directed nuclear weapons research since its founding in 1966. CSIST played a controlling role in the Institute for Nuclear Energy Research (INER), which conducted weapons research and development. According to one of the declassified records published today, a Taiwanese official explained that INER was a “daughter” of the Atomic Energy Council that had been “married” to the Chung Shan Institute. That relationship enabled CSIST secret payments of salary supplements to INER staffers without any civilian oversight.
Inspiring today’s posting is a recent publication by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), David Albright and Andrea Stricker’s Taiwan’s Former Nuclear Weapons Program: Nuclear Weapons on Demand, which provides a comprehensive account of the nuclear program, in part by drawing on documents from the National Security Archive. A key moment in this history was in January 1988, when the Central Intelligence Agency exfiltrated a senior Taiwanese official, Chang Sen-i, deputy director of the Institute for Nuclear Energy Research (INER). Chang had warned the CIA that Taiwan had a major clandestine nuclear program in the works but the Agency did not believe he would be safe when the U.S. started demanding that the ROC stop work at suspect sites that only a few people, such as Chang, could identify. Albright and Stricker provide the first detailed account in English of Chang’s whistle-blowing.
U.S. government documents about Chang Sen-i’s work as a CIA source remain classified; so do documents about the secret installations and activities that Taiwan closed in early 1988 in response to U.S. pressure. Nevertheless, some records about the consequences of Chang’s revelations have been declassified and are published today. They include documents about the shipment of heavy water from the Taiwan Research Reactor (TRR) and the withdrawal of Taiwan’s military from nuclear research and the separation of INER from the Chung Shan Institute.
Today’s posting includes significant material on the U.S. and Taiwanese nuclear activities that the National Security Archive has collected since the last major posting on the issue in 2007. Many were declassified in collections at the National Archives in response to requests by the National Security Archive. Some have even been declassified in the weeks since the publication of the Abright-Stricker book. They include:
- State Department intelligence reports from the 1960s on prospects for Taiwanese nuclear weapons capabilities and plans to purchase nuclear technology
- A report from 1971 by a U.S. scientist, Bruce Billings, who declared that once the Canadian-supplied Taiwan Research Reactor went critical, “in 1973--the earliest possible date--the GRC [Government of the Republic of China] could, by dumping the core of the reactor, have adequate fissionable material for a nuclear weapon.”
- A fully declassified telegram from March 1977 identifying the names of the IAEA officials, inspector Herbert Frittum and supervisor Leslie Thorne, who detected and reported on a secret port at the Taiwan Research Reactor that could be used to remove spent fuel from the reactor fuel cooling pond so that it could be reprocessed into plutonium. National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 221
- A White House report from the summer of 1978 that a secret source had told the U.S. government that Taiwan had concealed heavy water production equipment. At the same time a U.S. team of nuclear experts was in Taiwan and while the “team had been occupied with ‘useless’ briefings and tours of various facilities in northern Taiwan … the equipment they were looking for” was hidden in southern Taiwan.
The secrecy of CIA operational files makes it unlikely that documents about the Chang Sen-I affair will be declassified any time soon. Nevertheless, the Archive’s nuclear project has pending declassification requests for documents concerning the Taiwan nuclear story during the 1970s and 1980s. Moreover, if successful, the resolution of pending appeals at the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel may shed more light on this secret history. | weapons_science |

Among the most iconic of these weapons were the Roman swords. These swords were not only essential tools of warfare but also symbols of power and prestige. This article will explore the various types of Roman swords, their historical significance, and their design.
The Evolution of Roman Swords
The earliest swords used by the Romans were similar in design to those used by their neighbors, the Etruscans and the Greeks. These swords were short and single-edged and were used primarily for thrusting. Over time, the Romans developed their unique sword designs better suited to their military tactics.
The most famous of all Roman swords is undoubtedly the Gladius. This short sword, used by the Roman legions from the 3rd century BC until the 3rd century AD, was the weapon of choice for the Roman infantry. The Gladius was designed for close-quarters combat, and its double-edged blade was ideal for thrusting and cutting.
The Spatha was a long sword that was used by the Roman cavalry. It was longer than the Gladius and had a straighter blade, which made it better suited for slashing attacks. The Spatha was used by the Romans from the 1st century AD until the end of the Roman Empire.
The PugioPugio was a dagger used by Roman soldiers as a secondary weapon. It was worn on the right side of the body and was used for close-quarters combat. The PugioPugio had a short, wide blade, ideal for thrusting and slashing.
Design of Roman Swords
The culture and technology of the time influenced the design of Roman swords. The early Roman swords were made of bronze, a common material at the time. As the Romans conquered new territories, they began to use iron and steel to make their swords. This allowed them to create stronger and more durable weapons.
The blades of Roman swords were made using a process called forging. This involved heating the metal until red-hot and hammering it into shape. The blade was then cooled and sharpened. The sword’s hilt was made from various materials, including wood, bone, and ivory. The hilt was often decorated with intricate designs, which reflected the status and wealth of the sword’s owner.
What were Roman swords made of?
Materials Used for Roman Swords
The materials used to make Roman swords varied depending on the period and the region in which they were made. In the early days of the Roman Empire, swords were typically made of iron or bronze. However, as the empire expanded and contact with other cultures increased, new materials were introduced. By the time of the late Republic and early Empire, most Roman swords were made of steel.
Steel was a game-changer in the world of sword-making. It allowed for stronger, sharper, and more durable swords. The Roman Empire was known for its skilled blacksmiths who crafted high-quality swords. The steel used in Roman swords was typically high quality, known as Wootz steel. Wootz steel was produced in India and imported into the Roman Empire. This steel was known for its unique pattern and strength, making it ideal for swords.
Iron and Bronze
While steel was the most common material used in Roman swords, iron and bronze were also used. Iron was the primary material used in the early days of the Roman Empire. The iron was heated and hammered into shape but was less strong and durable than steel. Bronze was also used but was primarily reserved for ceremonial or decorative swords rather than functional weapons.
Crafting of Roman Swords
The crafting of Roman swords was a complex and time-consuming process. Blacksmiths were highly skilled and respected craftsmen in the Roman Empire. They had to undergo years of training to perfect their craft. The process of crafting a sword typically began with the selection of the raw materials. Once the materials were chosen, they were heated in a forge to make them malleable.
Next, the heated metal was hammered into the desired shape. This was a critical step, as the shape of the sword would determine its effectiveness in battle. The blacksmith had to carefully hammer the metal to create the perfect balance between weight and strength. The blade was then sharpened, and the hilt was attached.
The hilt was an essential part of the sword. It provided the wielder with a comfortable grip and helped balance the sword. The hilt was typically made of wood, bone, or ivory and was adorned with decorative elements such as precious metals or jewels.
Historical Significance of Roman Swords
Roman swords were not only weapons of war but also symbols of power and prestige. They were often decorated with elaborate designs and inscriptions, which reflected the status and achievements of the sword’s owner. Roman generals often awarded swords to soldiers who had distinguished themselves in battle, which would become treasured possessions.
The importance of Roman swords extended beyond the battlefield. They were also used in gladiatorial contests, which were popular forms of entertainment in ancient Rome. The gladiators would fight with various weapons, including swords, and the crowd would cheer them on.
How long were Roman swords?
Roman swords were a vital tool for the soldiers of ancient Rome. They were used in battle for close combat, and their design evolved. The length of Roman swords varied depending on the era, the purpose, and the wielder’s role.
During the early Roman Republic, the sword was known as the Gladius, which was approximately 64 to 81 cm (25 to 32 inches) in length. The Gladius had a short, double-edged blade, perfect for thrusting and stabbing, making it a preferred weapon for the Roman infantry.
As the Roman Empire expanded, so did the design of their swords. The Spatha was introduced, a long sword measuring approximately 91 to 96 cm (36 to 38 inches) in length. The Spatha was a cavalry weapon with a longer, more curved blade ideal for slashing and cutting.
Aside from the Gladius and Spatha, there were other variations of Roman swords. The PugioPugio, for instance, was a small dagger-like weapon worn by Roman soldiers as a secondary weapon. It was approximately 18 to 28 cm (7 to 11 inches) long and was used for close-quarter combat.
Another variation was the hasta, a long spear-like weapon measuring approximately 2.5 meters (8 feet) in length. Roman infantry mainly used it, designed to give them a longer reach during combat.
Did Roman swords have a particular shape?
The Purpose of the Shape
The shape of Roman swords was designed to be both practical and effective. The straight blade allowed for thrusting attacks and quick, precise movements. The sharp point allowed the sword to penetrate armor and inflict lethal wounds. The slight curve towards the point also improved thrust control and accuracy.
The Type of Swords
There were two primary types of Roman swords: the Gladius and the Spatha. The Gladius was the shorter of the two, typically used by infantry soldiers in close combat. The Spatha was longer used by cavalry and officers in battle. Both swords had similar shapes and designs, but the Spatha was longer and more versatile.
The Evolution of Roman Swords
The design of Roman swords evolved as new technologies and techniques were developed. The early Roman swords were shorter and had curved blades designed for hacking and slashing. As the Roman military became more organized, their swords became longer and more refined, designed for thrusting and precise attacks.
The Legacy of Roman Swords
The legacy of Roman swords can still be seen today in the design of modern-day swords. Many modern swords are modeled after the Roman Gladius, with its distinct shape and design. The effectiveness of the Roman sword in battle was a testament to the ingenuity and skill of the ancient Roman military.
How were Roman swords used in battle?
Formation of the Roman Army
The Roman army was divided into different formations or units, each with its purpose. One of the most famous formations was the Testudo, which means “tortoise.” This formation was used when the Roman army was under heavy missile fire. The soldiers would interlock their shields to form a shell-like structure to protect them from enemy projectiles. The Testudo formation allowed the Roman soldiers to advance toward the enemy without sustaining heavy losses.
Usage of Roman Swords in Battle
The Roman soldiers were trained to fight in close combat using their swords. They would advance toward the enemy while holding their shields in front of them for protection. Once they were close enough to the enemy, they would use their swords to inflict maximum damage. The Gladius was used for thrusting and stabbing, while the Spatha was used for slashing and cutting. The Roman soldiers were skilled at using their swords and knew how to deliver a fatal blow to their enemies.
The Importance of the Roman Shield
The Roman shield was an essential tool for the Roman army. It was used for protection against enemy projectiles and attacks. The Roman soldiers were trained to hold their shields before them to create a barrier between themselves and the enemy. The shield was also used to deflect enemy blows and to create openings for attacks. The Roman shield was crucial to the Roman army’s success in battle.
Roman swords were an important part of the Roman Empire’s military and cultural heritage. They were symbols of power and prestige used by soldiers and gladiators alike. Gladius, Spatha, and Pugio are just a few examples of Roman swords used throughout the empire’s history. Their design and construction were influenced by the culture and technology of the time, and their historical significance continues to be felt to this day.

It is still worn in Oman today. Originally, the dagger, whose blade has the shape of a J or a hook, was intended as a weapon for attack or defense. But today it is worn as a ceremonial item and a symbol of status.
Weaponsmithing was highly perfected during the Middle Ages in Arab countries. One only needs to think of famous swords and daggers like those of Damascus and it quickly becomes clear that these weapons were Arabian masterworks of quality craftsmanship. The Khanjars, like other pieces made in the Arabian region, are above all works of art. The fine craftsmanship of the Khanjar is one reason it has always been a status symbol. In the past, some of these weapons were only allowed to be carried by members of the Sultan’s family. Today, every Omani man is allowed to wear a Khanjar. The Khanjar is always worn on the left, with its tip always pointing to the right. The type of material the dagger is made from says a lot about the status of the person wearing it. Ivory handles adorn especially valuable Khanjars. In modern times, most Khanjars have wooden, plastic, or camel bone handles. Historically, wood and bone were also the materials that the handles of simpler Khanjars were made of. The amount of gold and silver utilized in the making of the dagger reflects the level of wealth of the Khanjar’s owner.
Traditionally, each Khanjar was designed by its future owner or by the one who wanted to give it as a gift. Since there are no specific traditional materials for smithing the dagger, each client had to design the weapon with the blacksmith and discuss possibilities for making each individual Khanjar. In addition to the handle and the double-edged blade, the other key elements of a Khanjar are the scabbard and belt. Even these elements reflect how wealthy the wearer is. High-quality Khanjars are worn in a leather sheath with a leather belt – both of course adorned by gold and silver threads.
Today, you can buy a Khanjar at virtually all Souqs in the land. The merchants know of course that tourists consider the spiked dagger a symbol of Oman and are willing to spend a little more on the ceremonial weapon. Unfortunately, what is often overlooked by the buyer is that in many cases, the daggers on display are cheap imitations from India. If you want to buy a high-quality Khadjar, you should definitely take a close look at the goods offered and, if necessary, get advice from a travel guide. In most cases, a plastic handle is a sign of poor workmanship – you should make sure that there is, for instance, a decorative wooden handle. | weapons_science |

We’re officially moving past greenlight and heading towards out Mid-term Milestone. So, this sprint, I’ll be leading the charge by prototyping some new weapon parts that will hopefully bring more variety to every match. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to start implementing these parts so even though it’s only 2 days into this sprint, I’ve already finished all of the prototypes. I really want to show them off so let’s just jump right in.
I want to start this blog post by talking about the 6 new parts that are now in the game. It’s been a long time since we’ve added any new weapon parts and I’m really excited to see players interact with these prototypes. I started prototyping some of these parts last sprint and continued pushing into the beginning of this sprint as well so I could get a majority of the weapon parts that are currently supported on the code side out of the way. So now, we have 3 new barrels, 1 new underbarrel attachment, 1 new sight, and 1 new firing mechanism. My goal is for these parts to start leading players more towards our intended experience. I want players to feel the thrill of discovery when they use these parts for the first time.
This new barrel has a fully automatic firing pattern and a very high rate of fire. However, recoil for this part is significant, but the dispersion is manageable. The Assault Barrel is meant to be a common weapon part that players will be able to find more frequently throughout the map. This way, players who like using fully-automatic weapons will have an option available to them at all times, instead of having to fight for a Minigun Barrel.
The name of this part says it all. This barrel will turn any weapon combination into a classic semi-automatic rifle. Players with a quick trigger finger will make good use out of this barrel. One thing to be aware of is that this barrel provides a smaller clip size so players should be careful about conserving their shots. Once we have headshots implemented, I’m certain this barrel will be a crowd favorite.
This is one of our new legendary parts. The magnetic grip removes almost all recoil from any gun combination. This means, players could be using the minigun rocket launcher, which is known for having very unforgiving recoil, but with the magnetic grip attachment, players will be able to mow down their enemies with ease.
The Blast Barrel is a lot of fun. It’s now our 4th legendary part available to players. The Blast Barrel is a very large weapon barrel that fires a significant number of projectiles or hit-scans with every shot. It’s almost like 3 shotguns stuffed together. The Blast Barrel can deal some terrible damage, so if you see another player with this part on the end of their gun, you better get as far away as possible.
I spent some time this week looking into sight variants in other popular FPS games. I found that the Reflex Sight in Call of Duty has made an appearance in almost every game in the franchise. I decided to create a reflex sight for our game so it could act as a cheap sight attachment that provides players with noticeably more accuracy. With the reflex sight, weapon dispersion is corraled making any weapon combination more efficient.
This is the first new mechanism that we’ve made in a while. The Arrow mechanism fires sharp projectiles very quickly and deals a lot of damage, but it requires players to be very accurate. Without a very small dispersion range, players will find that their arrows might not always hit their target. Fortunately, there are a number of other attachments available to help players control their arrows better.
I can’t wait to see what feedback we get from QA about these parts. Until next time! | weapons_science |

Fully autonomous weapons are weapons that are capable of autonomously selecting and attacking targets without being operated by a human. States are currently actively trying to develop these kind of weapons because they provide many military advantages. This severely worries NGO’s, scientists and scholars for several different reasons. Some point at the possible inability of fully autonomous weapons to comply with international humanitarian law. Others believe there will be an accountability gap for crimes committed by fully autonomous weapons during combat and another frequently raised concern is that these weapons will lower the threshold for war. These concerns lead to calls for a ban on fully autonomous weapons. But not everyone is worried about the development of fully autonomous weapons. There are also those who think that fully autonomous weapons might actually be better at complying with international humanitarian law than humans are. Others are against a ban because they do not believe it will be effective. We do not know which of the above scenarios will turn out to be true in the future. But talking about the possible ramifications of fully autonomous weapons before they are in use is important. This thesis aims to contribute to that conversation by studying the US’ , one of the most important stakeholders, positions regarding fully autonomous weapons. The three studied positions are the US’ diplomatic position as well as the position of the US’ military and US’ scholars. It will become clear what the underlying motives for these positions are, how they are influenced and what their implications are. Understanding these positions in such a way allows for an informed discussion on how to deal with fully autonomous weapons. The US’ diplomatic position is that the development of fully autonomous weapons should not be restricted because they can provide humanitarian benefits. This position is influenced by neorealistic desires for security. The US’ military position is mostly determined by the incredible military advantages that fully autonomous weapons provide. This results in a position that is effectively also unrestricting towards fully autonomous weapons and requests for increasingly larger budgets for the development of fully autonomous weapons. US’ scholars are able to base their opinions on more ideological beliefs which leads to more diversity in their positions, with some scholars advocating severe restrictions on fully autonomous weapons while others are in favour of an unrestrictive policy. The effect of these scholarly opinions is generally unsubstantial but could increase if scholars start writing shorter articles in newspapers, in addition to their research papers, that are easier and faster for policymakers to read. However, in the end, the effect of scholarly opinions on the US fully autonomous weapons policy will likely be very dependent on the fully autonomous weapons policies of US competitors. | weapons_science |

The Ułani (Polish: Lancers) are an elite arm of Krystoń's military, and have a higher status within its ranks for that reason. Originally a cavalry organization, the Ułani traded in their horses long ago and now are used as elite shock troops, specializing in assaulting enemy positions quickly and ruthlessly. The Ułani particularly favor the bayonet and see it as a natural descendant from their namesake's lances. Besides that, the Ułani employ heavy use of grenades and are extremely aggressive in the face of even determined enemies.
Rifle Section Edit
Despite being a puppet state of the Blue Centrists, Kryzstoń's armies retain their older organization. They employ a nominally standard rifle squad organization, though they emphasize the relatively unique idea of the attack being led by the Light Machine Gun rather than supporting it. Support falls to a group of riflemen known as the 'Grupa Tłumienie' or 'Suppression Group'. This group, composed of three or four riflemen including a grenadier and a marskman, is responsible for 'eliminating enemy resistance to the attack' - that is, to keep the enemy from bogging down the Light Machine Gun and assault force as it moves up.
Kryzstoń's rifle section is led by a Section Leader who usually has a Repeater Carbine. The Light Machine Gun, a magazine or strip-fed weapon, is attended to by two men, one who fires and the other who loads. The Section Leader personally directs the fire of this weapon, whilst leading the attack. The aforementioned Suppression Group is composed of three or occasionally four men, including the only grenadier and marksman and one more rifleman, all armed with Repeater Rifles, though the Marksman rarely gets the only Self Loading Rifle in the section. The remaining five men form the Maneuver Group, and all are armed with Repeater Rifles.
Ułani Section Edit
The Ułani are reminiscent of the famous Polish Lancers of the Napoleonic wars, and channel that spirit into their modern fighting tactics. In particular, this organization sees the bayonet as the natural descendant of the lance and thus emphasizes its use extremely. Indeed, the Ułani are very rarely seen without bayonets fixed, even in close environments like the jungle.
Ułani sections differ from regular rifle sections in that they are smaller, around 8 men instead of 11, and are more optimized for close range combat - the Ułani are the shocktroopers of Kryzstoń. The light machine gun is retained and still attended to by two men, but the suppression group has been eliminated and instead the Ułani employ an organization much closer to a traditional rifle section, with a distinct maneuver and light machine gun group. However, the light machine gun group for the Ułani is notoriously active, for the organization has a disdain for firing off more than two or three magazines or strips from the same location. Ułani are typically armed with short rifles or carbines, though some prefer to take older, long rifles into combat for maximum bayonet reach.
As mentioned before, Kryzstoń's armies use mostly repeater rifles and non-belt fed light machine guns. These weapons may seem relatively modest on paper, the aggressiveness of their utilization makes up for the modest firing rate of these weapons.
Equipment Loads Edit
Kryzstoń's armies use Eastern European rifles to a great extent because of the large amount of these rifles available in the area. Additionally, Kryzstoń inherited some imported rifles from far-off places such as Japan.
A Rifleman for Kryzstoń can be issued with:
- Balcarce Long Rifle chambered in 6.5x54mm - the most commonly issued rifle.
- Traun Long Rifle chambered in 6.5x54mm - Quite common rifle, issued in great numbers to units in the Southeast regions. Because of the en-bloc clips, these rifles are not issued alongside stripper-clip fed rifles.
- Palermo Long or Short Rifle chambered in 6.5x54mm - Issued almost exclusively to those in the Western regions as many of these were inherited from Blue Centrist stocks. Additionally, because of the en-bloc clips of this rifle, stripper-clip-fed rifles are never used alongside it.
- Yoshioka Rifle chambered in 6.5x54mm - More rare rifle, only issued by a few armories in the Northern regions.
Equipment Load Edit
The typical load for a Kryzstoń rifleman is as follows:
- Rifle, 80 Rounds (16 Stripper Clips) in two dual Ammunition Pouches, 30 Rounds (6 Stripper clips) in Chest Bandolier
- Of this, 10 Rounds (2 Stripper Clips) is Armour Piercing and 10 Rounds is Tracer Ammunition
- Gas Mask
- 2 Grenades
- Two magazines or strips of ammunition for the light machine gun
- Loose ammunition for the light machine gun | weapons_science |

Temperatures started around 48 and quickly warmed to around 70. No light breeze today. We had strong gusts throughout the match with wind indicators flying horizontally. Winds were left to right but occasionally shifted right to left. We had a total of ten shooters for the 48 shot, 12 lane course. Targets ranged from 3/8 inches to 1 1/2 inches. Scott Hall, from Morro Bay, came down and brought his (and John Bergquist) prototype self-resetting targets for us to use again and set the course with help from Ron Jobbes, Range Master. Once again the targets operated perfectly, however, one of the targets' hit zone reducers was shot off, unbeknownst to next shooters that benefited from the larger hit zone (lucky shooters). We had the two forced positions (kneeling and standing) today. For both lanes the hit zones were larger than usual (thanks Scott). Two shooters cleaned the standing lane and five cleaned knelling lane. Scott decided to shoot this match since his targets have been performing flawlessly and didn't have to oversee the match. He shot his custom-made Skyhawk. Vince Pacheco also made the trip from Morro Bay to shot with us. He shot his Daystate Wolverine. Tim Edmondson couldn't shoot his Kral Puncher today, so he brought out his HW 77 springer. Dennis Banez shot the match with his USTF again in Open class and is getting more comfortable with it each outing, shooting a 42 for the match and tying with Al Padilla for second overall top scorer, who shot his Air Arms S500 in Hunter class. Overall top shooter was Kelly Hawe shooting in Open class, with his Daystate Redwolf LPR. He came close to cleaning the course with a 47. Great match and thanks to all for coming out.

For today's match we had clear skies with temperatures starting around 48 and reaching a high of 54, with an occasional slight breeze. We had a total of ten shooters for the 48 shot, 12 lane course. Range Master Ron Jobbes, eliminated the two forced positions (kneeling and standing) for this match and we had a course surprise--Scott Hall, from Morro Bay, came down and brought a number of prototype self-resetting targets for us to beta test. The targets were the basic metal targets used in Field Target, but they had an electronic devise that automatically reset the targets, eliminating the need for manually resetting with a string (see Match Photos). Plus, if the targets were hit and knocked down, they would produce short pre-recorded sounds, such as, animal sounds, bells, sirens, and voices. According to Scott, any sound that is downloadable is possible, or you can have them with no sound if you prefer. Scott and John Bergquist collaborated on the design and production. The targets operated perfectly, and everyone enjoyed the targets (more enjoyable if hit). Thanks Scott and John for letting us try out the targets. The cold weather affected a number of shooter's scopes and changed their POI throughout the match, which accounted for some of the low scores, and some shooters opted to shoot the forced positions although not required for this particular match (the targets may have been only half inch on the lane normally used for standing shots). Good to see John Cooke back out with his Air Arms S510 after he had issues with his gun last month. Had a respectable score of 20 for his first match, and Tim Edmondson, shooting a Kral Puncher, continues to improve his score with each outing. Good shooting gentlemen. Dennis Banez shot the match with his new USTF and shot well with a score of 38. John Knapp was the lone springer (HW 97R) and managed a 35 for the match. Overall top shooter was Al Padilla with a score of 40 with his Air Arms S500, shooting in Hunter class. Great match and thanks to all for coming out.

Some small Western-European countries didn't take part in the development of military rifles, they simply adopted the rifle models that other countries developed. Therefore they are not treated. Percussion rifles were actually obsolete in 1845 and therefore they are also not treated. From about 1870 most nations adopted their new designed single shot rifles by replacing their, from percussion converted, breech loading rifles. The most common design in the following period was the bolt action. The military use of bolt action rifles in Western-Europe ended with World War II, with the exception of use by Special forces or militia.
Although 1945 is the formal boundary of this collection, most of the ammo, rifles and bayonets are much older than 100 years. | weapons_science |

That military issue pistol was developed and manufactured by Beretta. This Italian company is one of the oldest gun manufacturers on the entire planet. Beretta started by working iron, and to this day, you could argue that they kept the spirit of ironwork alive.
Providing the M9 to the military during the 80s isn’t their first foray into the world of war. Beretta is responsible for one of the first submachine guns in the world, they provided pistols to their home military, and for a short time under duress after they manufactured weapons for Germany during World War II
Beretta is known best for producing a wide array of firearms. Their side-by-side, over-and-under and semi-automatic shotguns, alone would be enough to put them on the map, but they keep pushing. They also manufacture express, assault, and hunting rifles, single and double-action revolvers, and semi-automatic pistols. They’re truly the masters of their industry. | weapons_science |

Electromagnetic surges traveled as far as Hawaii, about 900 miles away, causing damage to some telephone company equipment, making streetlights flicker, and garage doors open and close by themselves. There were no power outages, phone lines did not fail, and there was no radio interference throughout the event.
What’s an EMP?
An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a short burst of electromagnetic radiation that can come from a variety of sources, including the Sun or the detonation of a nuclear device at an extremely high altitude.
What is a nuclear EMP?
A nuclear EMP is an abrupt pulse of electromagnetic radiation resulting from a nuclear explosion. The resulting rapidly changing electric and magnetic fields may couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges.
What is an EMP bomb?
Nuclear physicist Dr. Yousaf Butt explains it as follows:
“EMPs affect everything in line-of-sight of the nuclear blast. An EMP bomb is a nuclear device detonated in the space above a targeted area. EMPs created from the blast affect everything in line-of-sight from the nuclear blast.”
“For example, a blast 60 miles up can affect a 700-mile radius on Earth. Thanks to Earth’s magnetic field, however, a safe space is created almost directly below the blast that is unaffected by any of the pulses created.
(Dr. Yousaf Butt is nuclear physicist, a senior advisor to the British American Security Information Council and director at the Cultural Intelligence Institute.)
What damage can it do?
An EMP bomb detonates high above Earth and so does not cause direct casualties. Rather, its destructive power lies in its ability to interfere, disrupt, and damage electronic equipment, for example, power grids disrupted, cars and planes lose power, computer systems crash, facilities like hospitals lose emergency backup power.
According to Butt, there are three types of EMPs: E1, E2, E3. Each type affects electrical systems in different ways.
- E1 affects local antennas, short cable runs, equipment inside buildings, integrated circuits, sensors, communication systems, protective systems, and computers
- E2 is similar to a lightning strike (but not as damaging as we know how to deal with it); it affects longer conductive lines, vertical antenna towers, and aircraft with trailing wire antennas
- E3 affects power lines and long communications lines like undersea and underground cables, wreaking havoc on commercial power and landlines.
The E1 and E3 EMPs would damage the technology we’ve come to depend on. Post-blast, generators might still provide power, but for the most, there would be no access to electricity, which could range from extremely inconvenient or devastating.
How accurate is an EMP bomb?
An EMP bomb requires less accuracy to be effective. As long as it detonates above its target, it would be effective. High-altitude ICBMs are difficult to stop. The ground-based midcourse defense missile system can reach into space.
Where is the safest place to be?
Thanks to Earth’s magnetic field, a safe space is created almost directly below the blast that is unaffected by any of the pulses created.

An Updated Examination of Local and National Sources

Trend analyses also indicate that high-capacity semiautomatics have grown from 33 to 112% as a share of crime guns since the expiration of the federal ban – a trend that has coincided with recent growth in shootings nationwide.
Policies restricting semiautomatic assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines are intended to reduce gunshot victimizations by limiting the stock of semiautomatic firearms with large ammunition capacities and other military-style features conducive to criminal use. The federal government banned such weaponry from 1994 to 2004, and a few states currently impose similar restrictions.
Recent debates concerning these weapons have highlighted their use in mass shootings, but there has been little examination of their use in gun crime more generally since the expiration of the federal ban. This study investigates current levels of criminal activity with assault weapons and other high-capacity semiautomatics in the USA using several local and national data sources including
(1) guns recovered by police in ten large cities,
(2) guns reported by police to federal authorities for investigative tracing,
(3) guns used in murders of police, and
4) guns used in mass murders.
Results suggest assault weapons (primarily assault-type rifles) account for 2–12% of guns used in crime in general (most estimates suggest less than 7%) and 13–16% of guns used in murders of police. Assault weapons and other high-capacity semiautomatics together generally account for 22 to 36% of crime guns, with some estimates upwards of 40% for cases involving serious violence including murders of police. Assault weapons and other high-capacity semiautomatics appear to be used in a higher share of firearm mass murders (up to 57% in total), though data on this issue are very limited.
Trend analyses also indicate that high-capacity semiautomatics have grown from 33 to 112% as a share of crime guns since the expiration of the federal ban – a trend that has coincided with recent growth in shootings nationwide. Further research seems warranted on how these weapons affect injuries and deaths from gun violence and how their regulation may impact public health. | weapons_science |

known as the 'Zero', was the first carrierborne
fighter in the world capable
of outperforming any contemporary
land-based fighter it was likely to confront.
Because of inept Allied intelligence
it was able to achieve immediate
air superiority over the East Indies
and South East Asia from the day Japan
entered the war. Designed under the
leadership of Jiro Honkoshi in 1937 as a
replacement for the neat but obsolescent
A5M, the prototype A6M1 was
first flown on 1 April 1939 with a 582kW Mitsubishi Zuisei 13 radial;
production A6M2 fighters with
two wing-mounted 20mm guns and
two nose-mounted 7.7mm guns were fitted with the 708kW Nakajima Sakae 12 radial, and
it was with this version that the
Japanese navy escorted the raiding
force sent against Pearl Harbor, and
gained air superiority over Malaya, the
Philippines and Burma. In the spring of
1942 the A6M3 with two-stage supercharged
Sakae 21 entered service, later
aircraft having their folding wing
tips removed. The Battle of Midway
represented the Zero's combat zenith;
thereafter the agile Japanese fighter
found itself ever more outclassed by
the American F6F Hellcat and P-38
Lightning. To counter the new American
fighters the A6M5 was rushed to
front-line units; this version, with Sakae
21 engine and improved exhaust system,
possessed a top speed of 565km/h, more A6M5s (and subvariants)
being produced than any
other Japanese aircraft. It was five
A6M5s of the Shikishima kamikaze unit
that sank the carrier St Lo and damaged
three others on 25 October 1944.
Other versions were the A6M6 with
water-methanol boosted Sakae 31 engine
and the A6M7 fighter/dive-bomber.
Total production of all A6Ms
was 10,937. (The reporting name'Zeke'
was given to the A6M, and 'Rufe' to a
float version, the A6M2-N.)

By default the A6M5 got stuck with about 5.3 lbs /hp without armor or more guns.
4.3 was a meaningful advantage for the A6M8 with armor and more guns.
|Ron, e-mail, 08.04.2020 04:20|
4.3 lbs per hp was the P /L of the A6M8 vs 5.7 for the F6F-5 if you look at the 1620 hp WEP for the Mitsubishi Ha-112 II engine at 2,900'. Imagine if this engine powered the A6M5 back in 1943 as intended.

I think one of the missed opportunity was replacing the Type 97 7.7x56mmR MG with the Type 2 13x64mmB MG as the cowling weapon in the A6M. The same could be said for the Aichi D3A and Yokosuka D4Y having their Type 97 replaced by cowling Type 2. But for some reason the Imperial Japanese Navy never adopted the Type 2 (German MG131) for the purpose it was originally designed for, a cowling machine gun. The improved hitting power made available to the Zero would have made a difference against the Grumman F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair. U.S. Self sealing fuel tanks were good against Ball .50 ammo, not 13mm HE or HEI, and the 13mm API was effective against much of the armor on U.S. aircraft. It just seems like a missed opportunity to address one weak area of IJN aircraft which they had and failed to use.

The Zero may have had it's faults, but the skin being flammable (at least the assertion that it was more so than other aircraft of it's day) is s myth. If it was,the US being as obsessed with aircraft structural redundancy as they were wouldn't have used to make the B-50 bomber, (basically just an uprated B-29 made out of 7075 aluminum)not to mention M-16 rifles.

The A6M2 Model 21 Zero was able to turn a 360 in about 11 seconds, just about as well as the Ki 43-I Oscar, it's Army counterpart.
However, the Zero left the Oscar behind in speed, range, and firepower. Both lacked armor.
The Model 22 upgraded firepower with the slower but high velocity long range 20mm cannon, and combat range was restored from the penalty suffered by the clipped-wing Model 32.
Speed was better than the A6M2 as well as higher altitude performance (335.5 and 338.6 respectively vs 331mph).
After the prolific A6M5 lost the chance to upgrade to the 1,560 hp Ha-112-II engine planned by the design team, the Zero had crested already. Thus it only reached 351 mph and then declined in competence as it put on weight without more hp increase to compensate. The Navy pinned their hope on the methane injected A6M6 which failed.
The 348 mph A6M5a with more ammo and 346 mph A6M5b with thicker skin, still had no seat-back armor like the Oscar Ki 43-II had, and then the 336 mph A6M5c with armor and more guns, lost the speed advantage over the Oscar. With each improvement, speed was slower for the Zero. This disappointed the Navy so much that they relented and finally allowed the 1,560hp for the 357 mph A6M8, but that was only ready at the end (2 years too late). Meantime, the Allied fighters were leap-frogging the speed of both the Oscar and Zero which were still produced in 1945 but with 1941 performance.
Japan could have made better use of these resources by consolidating it's whole fighter industry to produce the best reliable engines and put them in the best fighters. All the rest of the production was inefficient and at cross-purposes if not outright obsolete. Japan had the reliable engine for the less than agile J2M5: 1820 hp Mitsubishi MK4U-4 Kasei 26a. The Ki 100 was a winning design but underpowered. Put them together and you have a high altitude interceptor better than either the Jack (Raiden) or radial Tony (Goshikisen) seperately. Now you have both a bomber interceptor and dogfighter in one. Put this on every fighter production line in Japanese territory starting before 1945. Now the B-29s have a high altitude threat, as does their escort! No Japanese single-seater besides about 35 J2M5s could approach that and they couldn't dogfight like a Ki 100! Imagine thousands of 1820 hp Ki 100s in place of all the others including the obsolete Zero and Oscar for the last half of WW2 or even the last year!

The Mitsubishi A6M Reisen / Zeke's strengths were also its Achilles heel. The reason for its fine performance was its light wing loading, giving it long range, a high climb rate, and expellant maneuverability. However, to achieve this it sacrificed pilot armor, self sealing fuel tanks, redundant structural members, and it used Magnesium, (a metal that burns ferociously when ignited), in its airframe. One of the main reasons it easily bested so many allied pilots early in the war was most fighter pilots had been taught the same "turn and maneuver" tactics that their fathers had used in 1917. If a pilot tried that crap against a "Zero", he very soon found his foe was on his "six" throwing 20mikemike up his "kister". General Chennault figured it out, before anyone else; you didn't mix it up with Zeros. You dove through them, blazing away, kept going to gain speed, and then zoomed up at a safe distance to do it again. No one listened to Chennault at first because the serving officers in the US and UK air services figured, "What does an ex-Army Air Corps Colonel, serving as a mercenary in China, know about aerial tactics". Once the allies started using appropriate tactics and started getting better fighters, the light Magnesium construction and lack of pilot and fuel tank protection came back to haunt Zero jockeys. With such a light airframe even the Zero's long legs could cause problems; if a Zero suffered even moderate battle damage, and was 500 "wet" miles from a friendly landing area, its light structure might not hold together long enough to make it back to the barn. Because of this and the "Die for the Emperor" mentality of almost all Japanese military personnel, many pilots didn't bother to wear a parachute. This willing omission practically guaranteed the loss of a fighter pilot for every Zero lost. The inadequate nature of war-time Japanese fighter pilot training, coupled with trained pilots going down with their crippled aircraft,(some lighting the sky like so many Magnesium flares), meant that eventually you had poorly trained Japanese rookies going up against highly trained, (and many combat veteran), US and British Empire opponents in the air. Check out the Marianas Turkey Shoot! In 1940 the Mitsubishi A6M was the finest carrier born fighter in the world, and probably one of the finest fighters in the world period. But by 1943 it was no longer the threat it had been, and by 1944 it was well past its prime. Unlike the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Supermarine Spitfire, the Mitsubishi A6M did have as much "stretch ability" in the original design; so unfortunately, like a lot of WWII aircraft, it was forced to soldier on past the point of obsolescence. You can only go so far relying on past glory to get by.

The IJNAF Zero fighter proved to be the master of early Allied fighters it met on it's debut in China.
The A6M2 was only successfully dealt with by the Flying Tigers with hit and run diving tactics. But most did not heed them when they warned the US about the Zero even before Pearl Harbor was attacked. For the next 6 months it took on all comers even virtually annihilating a Spitfire Wing in Burma!
The A6M2 Zero was the first strategic escort fighter with unbelievable range. Flights could last all day.
It was able to do a full 360 turn in about 11 seconds, but roll rate was bad with speed: 56 dgs /sec @ 160 mph and 37 @ 324 mph. Stick forces were so heavy over 240 mph.
Most all early Allied fighters had worse altitude performance than the Zero.
Zero pilots could reportedly get 345 mph with boost.
It could climb 4517 fpm, but dive limit was less than 410 mph.
It had 2 light MGs and 2x 20mm cannons (just like the Bf 109E). Ammo: 60 rpg for the 20mm and MV was low. RoF was slow too @ 520-550 rpm.
It's acceleration was excellent, giving Allied pilots the impression it was faster than their planes even if their top speed was higher.
Just like early war fighters in 1939 Europe, it had no armor. The Zero's defense was offence.
Just as important, it had many veteran pilots.
The A6M3 had 2 versions. First the clipped wing Model 32 which had improved dive limit of 416 mph and better altitude performance, roll rate and acceleration. But a full turn took over 12 seconds and climb was 3100-4500 fpm, still good enough but range was much shorter causing many losses.
So the more numerous Model 22 restored the full span and added fuel tankage to become the longest range Zero. Some had the new high velocity 20mm cannons, but RoF was slower @ 490 rpm. Most now had 100 rpg ammo.
By now the Zero had lost it's mystique as well as too many experienced pilots at Midway. Besides that, a second generation of powerful US fighters were overmatching the A6M in combat with the tactics like the Flying Tigers used. They avoided fighting the Zero's fight. Zero pilots had to be good deflection shots to score with only a 6 shell cannon burst against the well armored American fighters. especially feared was the Corsair, Lightning (up high), and British Spitfire Mk VIII.
The zenith of the Zero had been reached. Now it was on the defence and still no armor when all other Japanese fighters had at least some pilot protection by this stage.
Now came the most numerous A6M5 Model 52. The design team intended it to get a 1500+ hp engine upgrade but this was turned down by the Navy Brass! This combined with abbreviated pilot training, doomed not just the Zero but Japan.
It did about 350+ mph with the short span of the clipped Model 32. The Model 52 took over 16 seconds to complete a full 360 turn (the A6M5a,b,c and especially the A6M7 would take more time than the lighter A6M5). It also got 125 rpg for the cannons. With the A6M5b came bullet proof glass in front and some fire protection.
By the end of the war the last 240 Zeros (A6M5c & A6M7) finally got armored pilot seatbacks (but only about half the 16mm thickness in the Ki 61-II pilot armor) out of over 10,000 produced! This degraded their top speed to 340-345 mph but these could dive 460 mph. They now had at least 5 guns too. 13.2mm MGs were added, fist to the cowl (replacing one 7.7mm gun) with 230 rpg, later to the wings with 240 rpg. RoF was 800 rpm; 400 rpm synchronized in the cowl. Now overweight, it was obsolete, a shadow of past glory. Even the late model P-40N was a now a threat (at least down low)!
The IJNAF torch had long since been passed to the N1K Shiden fighter-bomber and J2M Raiden interceptor.

Rate of roll for the A6M2:
Best was at speeds much less than 160 mph, but at that speed it rolled 56 dgr /sec.
It really started to stiffen controls with speed:
52 dgr /sec @ 230 mph;
50 dgr /sec @ 250 mph;
37 dgr /sec @ 324 mph (NACA chart limit for Model 21 Zero).
Zero pilots likely preferred to stay far from 324 mph rolls, or even 250 mph. Who knows how good it rolled off the slow end of the NACA chart? None of the other fighters did their best rate under 160 mph so that's where the comparison chart starts unfortunately.
|Ron, e-mail, 01.11.2014 01:41|
Of about 6,000 A6M5s, 470 were A6M5bfrom mid 1944;
93 were A6M5c from Sept, 1944.
These were produced after Jiro Horikoshi was replaced and, failing to get the intended Kinsei 62, were out-performed by even the Ki 43-IIIa in speed as well as max range, climb, acceleration and aerobatics. However the Zero had improved it's firepower and was catching up in protection.

Since Allied fighters were less agile, they tended to take straight shots especially the USAAF.
If the Japanese planes all added a cannon in the tail-cone, it could have played havoc with would-be assailants. Low percentage deflection shots would be resorted to even more by the Allied pilots.
Perhaps the obsolete Zero and Oscar would have had more of a fighting chance after the first year of glory. Even when diving away after attacking B-29s, a 30mm cannon stinger could give a telling parting shot from Japanese interceptors (perhaps a 37mm cannon on twin engine Japanese fighters). Any US escort fighter would be distracted if not intimidated.
As it was, the slow Zero and Oscar soldiered on beyond their prime and Japanese pilots liked it that way, unfortunately for them.
Perhaps this simple addition of a high velocity tail-stinger on ALL their fighters would have gone a long way to even the odds when Japan was thrown onto the defensive.
|Ron, e-mail, 04.10.2014 11:06|
A6M3 /5 pilots who didn't want to lose their speed would do fast yoyos and limit turns to 45 dgs. Over Okinawa some used fast barrel rolls and violent skids in the Zero. Energy tactics capilaizing on initial acceleration, but not as extended as the Allied pilots.
|Ron, e-mail, 09.09.2014 07:34|
Anthony Cooper's 'Darwin Spitfires' site posts the RAAF Spitfire Vc Trop comparison with the Zero 32.
There it has the 1G stall speed of 55 knots per hour IAS or 63 mph for the Hamp and a max level speed of 291 knots or 335 mph @ 16,000' and a ceiling of 32,500'.
Though the Mk VcT had a speed and ceiling advantage, the Hamp was competitive due to it's lighter wing and power loading even around the Spit's critical altitude of 21,000' (5,000' higher than it's own). It's acceleration compensated up to 30,000' for speed limit disadvantage. A loop would cause the Spit to stall at the top if it followed. Even a dive initially favored the A6M3 due to acceleration not to mention the carb problem requiring the Mk VcT to half-roll first to dive. The Zero could do a negative-g dive no sweat.
The new engine of the Hamp gave it better altitude prowess than the old A6M2.
Perhaps the sluggish Mk VcT was the weak link in the chain of Spitfire contenders vs the zenith of the Zero Hamp before fading into obsolesence when the A6M5 was denied an engine upgrade.

When it comes to accurate shooting, having the right rifle scope can make all the difference. A quality scope can enhance your shooting performance, improve target acquisition, and boost overall accuracy. However, with so many options available in the market, choosing the perfect rifle scope for your firearm can be overwhelming. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the essential factors to consider to ensure you make an informed decision and find the right rifle scope for your needs.
- Determine Your Purpose:
Before diving into the specifics of rifle scopes, it's crucial to determine the purpose of your shooting activities. Are you an avid hunter, a competitive shooter, or a casual plinker? Each shooting discipline may require different features in a rifle scope. Understanding your purpose will help you narrow down your options and find a scope that perfectly complements your shooting style.
- Consider Magnification Range:
One of the most critical aspects of a rifle scope is its magnification range. A scope's magnification determines how much closer you can view your target. For hunting and tactical applications, a variable magnification scope (e.g., 3-9x) provides versatility to adapt to different shooting scenarios. On the other hand, fixed magnification scopes (e.g., 4x) are more common in specific shooting disciplines, such as precision shooting or long-range shooting.
- Know the Objective Lens Size:
The objective lens diameter plays a significant role in light transmission and image clarity. Larger objective lenses allow more light into the scope, improving visibility in low-light conditions. However, they can add weight and bulk to your firearm. For general shooting, a scope with an objective lens between 40mm to 50mm is a good balance of light gathering and portability.
- Reticle Type:
The reticle, also known as the crosshair, comes in various styles, such as duplex, mil-dot, BDC, and more. Each reticle type offers unique advantages for different shooting situations. Consider your shooting style and preference when choosing a reticle. A clean duplex reticle is versatile and suitable for a wide range of shooting activities.
- Quality of Optics:
Optical quality is a critical factor in rifle scopes. Look for scopes with high-quality glass and multi-coated lenses that reduce glare and improve light transmission. Quality optics contribute to sharp, clear images and better target visibility.
- Consider Adjustments and Zeroing:
Check the scope's adjustment turrets and understand their functionality. Examine the scope's adjustment range, click values, and ease of zeroing. A scope with precise and repeatable adjustments ensures you can zero your rifle accurately and maintain consistent performance.
- Durability and Weather Resistance:
A reliable rifle scope should be built to withstand the elements and endure rugged use. Look for scopes with a rugged construction, nitrogen purging for fog resistance, and O-ring seals to make them waterproof.
Choosing the right rifle scope is a critical decision that can significantly impact your shooting performance. By understanding your shooting needs, considering magnification, objective lens size, reticle type, optical quality, adjustments, and durability, you can make an informed choice. Always opt for a reputable brand and invest in a quality rifle scope that perfectly matches your firearm and shooting activities. With the right scope, you'll experience improved accuracy and an enhanced shooting experience overall. | weapons_science |

From Bro John of Lodge Devotion (A "cannon" at a table lodge refers to a glass)
At our Table Lodge meeting on Saturday 17th June, 2017, one of our number, as part of his charge, informed the Worshipful Master that “cannons” were aligned. This was immediately seized upon by the author as being blatantly incorrect as cannon is plural in itself.
This raised a short discussion as to the correct term for multiple cannon.
The use of the word cannon/cannons in either form is less frequent these days as we seldom, if ever, use these weapons and have not done so for the best part of a century. We now refer to the ordinance which replaced cannon as being mortars or guns (the latter having rifling in the barrel).
In justifying the use of cannon in the plural sense it is interesting to note that ships of the line in sailing days were equipped with a specific number of cannon – not cannons. Also ships, infantry etc. were subject to cannon fire, surely not referring to the threat of one pierce of artillery.
Of this great truth, a noble example can be found in Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s epic poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade” in which there were “cannon to the left of them, cannon to the right of them, cannon in front of them volleyed and thundered.”
William Shakespeare in his play “King John” uses the sentence “The cannon have their bowels full of wrath and ready mounted are they to spit forth their iron indignation ‘gainst your walls.” Napoleon Bonaparte, also, is credited as saying - “If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.”
It is clear in each of the above examples that cannon is used in the plural sense.
While I acknowledge that “cannons” has crept into usage in a similar way to the dropping of the letter “u” in such words as colour, harbour etc., I believe that one should resist the trend toward the bastardisation of our beautiful language.

The program is managed by Texas Parks and Wildlife and will pay for upgrades to the range including new backstop/traps, acoustical improvements and state-of-the-art target positioning systems with ten individual computerized control stations.
The upgrades will begin sometime in the fall and once finished will allow the range to handle up to .308 caliber rifle ammunition.
“It will develop better partnerships with area law enforcement officers,” said Jim Simpson, Executive Director and Dean of Workforce Education. “There’s no indoor shooting range for rifles in our area. And we can now provide them with that necessary training.”
The improvements will allow rifle shooters to test for a number of certifications for professional and sporting classifications. ACC will also conduct classes on rifle safety and expertise as it currently does for handgun owners.
The ACC firing range is used by cadets in the Law Enforcement Academy. Local law enforcement officers from various agencies also utilize the range for required state training. | weapons_science |

Soviet High-Speed Tank BT-5. Советский быстроходный танк БТ-5.
Image by Peer.Gynt
The machine is exposed at Museum-Diorama of Relief of Leningrad Blockade. Leningrad Oblast. Kirovsk District.
The BT tanks (Russian: Быстроходный танк (БТ), Bystrokhodny tank, lit. "fast tank" or "high-speed tank") were a series of Soviet cavalry tanks produced in large numbers between 1932 and 1941. They were lightly armoured, but reasonably well-armed for their time, and had the best mobility of all contemporary tanks of the world. The BT tanks were known by the nickname Betka from the acronym, or its diminutive Betushka.
The direct successor of the BT tanks would be the famous T-34 medium tank, introduced in 1940, which would replace all of the Soviet fast tanks, infantry tanks, and medium tanks in service.
The BT tanks were "convertible tanks". This was a feature designed by J. Walter Christie to reduce wear of the unreliable tank tracks of the 1930s. In about thirty minutes the crew could remove the tracks and engage a chain drive to the rearmost road wheel on each side, allowing the tank to travel at very high speeds on roads. In wheeled mode the tank was steered by pivoting the front road wheels. However, Soviet tank forces soon found the convertible option of little practical use in a country with few paved roads, and it consumed space and added needless complexity and weight. The feature was dropped from later Soviet designs.
Christie, a race car mechanic from New Jersey, had tried unsuccessfully to convince the U.S. Army Ordnance Bureau to adopt his Christie tank design. In 1930, Soviet agents at Amtorg, ostensibly a Soviet trade organization, used their New York political contacts to persuade U.S. military and civilian officials to provide plans and specifications of the Christie tank to the Soviet Union. At least two of Christie’s M1931 tanks (without turrets) were later purchased in the United States and sent to the Soviet Union under false documentation in which they were described as "agricultural tractors." Both tanks were successfully delivered to the Kharkov Komintern Locomotive Plant (KhPZ). The original Christie tanks were designated fast tanks by the Soviets, abbreviated BT (later referred to as BT-1). Based both on them and on previously obtained plans, three unarmed BT-2 prototypes were completed in October 1931 and mass production began in 1932. Most BT-2s were equipped with a 37 mm gun and a machine gun, but shortages of 37 mm guns led to some early examples being fitted with three machine guns.
The sloping front hull (glacis plate) armor design of the Christie M1931 prototype was retained in later Soviet tank hull designs, later adopted for side armor as well.
The BT-5 and later models were equipped with a 45 mm gun.
BT-1: Christie prototype with no turret.
BT-2 Model 1932: M-5-400 engine (copy of U.S. Liberty engine), three modifications of turret produced: with single 37 mm gun; 37 mm gun and one DT machine gun; twin DP machine guns mount and a single machine gun. In late 1932 modified to BT-3 but produced under same designation.
BT-3: same as BT-2, produced according to metric system (instead of Imperial system as used for BT-2). In official documentation referred to as BT-2.
BT-4: was a design with welded hull and minor changes in the suspension. 3 prototypes produced (with partially riveted hull)
BT-5: larger cylindrical turret, 45 mm gun, coaxial DT machine gun. BT-5 Model 1933: new turret with twin hatches and larger bustle.
BT-5PKh: snorkelling variant (prototypes only).
BT-5A: artillery support version with 76.2 mm howitzer (few made).
BT-5 flamethrower tank: (prototypes only).
PT-1A: amphibious variant with new hull (few made).
BT-7 Model 1935: welded hull, redesigned hull front, new Mikulin M-17T engine (licensed copy of a BMW engine), enclosed muffler. BT-7 Model 1937: new turret with sloping armour.
BT-7TU: command version, with whip antenna instead of earlier frame antenna.
BT-7A: artillery support version with 76.2 mm howitzer.
OP-7: flame-thrower version with external fuel panniers (prototype only).
BT-7M (1938, prototypes designated A-8; sometimes referred to as BT-8): new V-2 diesel engine replacing earlier gasoline engines, three DT machine guns: coaxial, in P-40 AA mount on roof and in a ball-mount on turret rear.
BT-42: Finnish assault gun; captured BT-7s were equipped with British 114 mm howitzers.
BT-43: Finnish armoured personnel carrier; captured BT-7s equipped with troop accommodation.
BT-IS: Prototype/proof-of-concept platform with heavily sloped armor; forerunner of the armor design on the T-34.
BT-SW-2 Cherepakha ("turtle"): Another prototype, which took the armour sloping to an extreme.
A-20: Prototype for a new BT tank, with 20 mm armour, 45mm gun, model V-2 diesel engine, and 8×6-wheel convertible drive. Lost out in trials to the A-32, which was further improved and produced as the T-34 medium tank.
TTBT-5, TTBT-7: teletanks, remote-controlled tanks.
BT tanks saw service in the Spanish Civil War, Battle of Khalkhin Gol (Nomonhan), the Winter War in Finland, the Polish campaign, and in the entire World War II.
They first saw action in the Spanish Civil War. A battalion of BT-5s fought on the Republican side, and their 45 mm guns could easily knock out the opposing German and Italian light tanks
Battle of Khalkhin Gol (Nomonhan)
See also: Soviet–Japanese Border Wars
During the Battles of Khalkhin Gol (also known as the Nomonhan Incident), which lasted from May to September in 1939, BT tanks were easily attacked by Japanese "close quarter" teams (tank killer squads) which were armed with petrol bottles (later called "Molotov Cocktails"). The Soviet BT-5 and BT-7 light tanks, which had been operating in temperatures greater than 100F on the Mongolian plains, easily caught fire when a molotov cocktail ignited their gasoline engines.General Georgy Zhukov made it one of his "points" when briefing Joseph Stalin, that his "…BT tanks were a bit fireprone…." Conversely, many Japanese tankers held the Soviet 45mm anti-tank/tank guns in high esteem, noting, "…no sooner did they see the flash from a Russian gun, than they’d notice a hole in their tank, adding that the Soviet gunners were accurate too!"
After the Khalkhin Gol War in 1939, the Soviet military had broken into two camps; one side was represented by Spanish Civil War veterans General P. V. Rychagov of the Soviet Air Force, Soviet armour expert General Dimitry Pavlov, and Stalin’s favorite, Marshal Grigory Kulik, Chief of Artillery Administration. The other side consisted of the Khalkhin Gol veterans led by Generals Zhukov and G.P. Kravchenko of the Soviet Air Force. Under this cloud of division, the lessons of Russia’s "first real war on a massive scale using tanks, artillery, and airplanes" at Nomonhan (Khalkhin Gol) went unheeded. Consequently, during the Finland War (Winter War) the BT-2 and BT-5 tanks were less successful, and it took the Soviet Union three and a half months, and over a million men to do what Zhukov did in just ten days at Nomonhan.
After the German war broke out, the Spanish Civil War faction fell in disfavor, with Marshal Kulik in particular being court-martialed and demoted. Gen. Zhukov and the majority of his surviving Nomonhan veterans were appointed to commands throughout European Russia, in time to engage the German armies.
World War II
During the Second World War, BT-5 and BT-7 tanks were used in the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland, and in large numbers in the battles of 1941 – during which thousands were abandoned or destroyed. A few remained in use in 1942, but were rare after that time. The Red Army planned to replace the BT tank series with the T-34, and had just begun doing so when the German invasion (Operation Barbarossa) took place.
During the final weeks of World War II, a significant number of BT-7 tanks took part in the invasion of Japanese-occupied Manchuria, in August 1945. This was the last combat action of BT tanks.
The BT tank series was numerous, forming the cavalry tank arm of the Red Army in the 1930s, and had much better mobility than other contemporary tank designs. For these reasons, there were many experiments and derivatives of the design, mostly conducted at the KhPZ factory in Kharkov.
The most important legacy of the BT tank was the T-34 medium tank, arguably the most important tank of the entire World War II. In 1937, a new design team was formed at the KhPZ to create the next generation of BT tanks. Initially, the chief designer was Mikhail Koshkin and, after his death, Morozov. The team built two prototypes. The light one was called the A-20. The more heavily armed and armoured BT derivative, the A-32, was a "universal tank" to replace all the T-26 infantry tank, BT cavalry tanks, and the T-28 medium tanks. Such plan was controversial, but concerns about tank performance under the threat of German blitzkrieg led to the approval for production of a still more heavily-armoured version, the T-34 medium tank.
Along the way, an important technical development was the BT-IS and BT-SW-2 testbed vehicles, concentrating on sloped armour. This proof-of-concept led directly to the armour layout of the T-34.
BT tank chassis were also used as the basis for engineering support vehicles and mobility testbeds. A bridgelayer variant had a T-38 turret and launched a bridge across small gaps. Standard tanks were fitted as fascine carriers. The RBT-5 hosted a pair of large artillery rocket launchers, one on each side of the turret. Several designs for extremely wide tracks, including, oddly, wooden ‘snowshoes’ were tried on BT tanks.
The KBT-7 was a thoroughly modern armoured command vehicle that was in the prototype stage when World War II broke out. The design was not pursued during the war.
In the Kiev maneuvers of 1936, foreign military observers were shown hundreds of BT tanks roll by a reviewing stand. In the audience were British Army representatives, who returned home to advocate for use of Christie suspension on British cruiser tanks which they incorporated from the Cruiser Mk III onwards. Interestingly, the pointed shape of the hull front armor on the BT tank also influenced the design of the British Matilda tank. | weapons_science |

A Short Range Air Defense Separate Battalion (SHORAD).
On 16 November 1988 the 4th Missile Battalion, 5th Air Defense Artillery was redesignated as the 4th Battalion, 5th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division and activated at Fort Hood, Texas as a Short Range Air Defense Separate Battalion (SHORAD).
Its first training mission was to the National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, California. The effective training at the NTC could have not come at a more opportune time in the history of the battalion. Upon their return to Fort Hood, the Battalion Commander undertook the task of reorganizing and fielding the Army’s first “Avenger” Antiaircraft Battery. The “Avenger” system is a lightweight, highly mobile and transportable surface-to-air missile/gun weapon system mounted on a High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV).
The Avenger surface-to-air missile (SAM) system has two stinger pods called Standard Vehicle Mounted Launchers (SVMLs). Each pod is capable of carrying four ready Stinger missiles, a significant improvement over the one man – one shot concept of the Man-Portable Stinger missile system. The Avenger also mounts a .50 caliber machine gun capable of operating in an air and ground mode; a Forward-Looking Infrared system for target detection and tracking; and a laptop computer-based display for early warning and target cuing.
In the midst of the reorganization, on 7 August 1990, a deployment order for the Southwest Asia operations was issued. Plans calling for the division to deploy by 15 September extended the work day to 14, 16 and in some cases 24 hours. Since the availability of Avenger Systems prior to deployment was uncertain, and in order to maximize combat power, the Battalion quickly was reorganized back to its original configuration of 4 Batteries consisting of 27 Vulcan and 60 Stinger Teams. Along with the return to the old organization, a decision to accelerate Avenger fielding and obtain as many systems as possible prior to deployment was made. The combined efforts of the Army Procurement Sections and Boeing allowed the Battalion to rapidly field three platoons and significantly upgrade its maintenance capability to sustain systems in an immature theater by providing additional test equipment and spare parts.
War plans were developed with the basic assumption that the Division would deploy task organized and could arrive at several different ports. To meet that objective, batteries were deployed with their Brigade Headquarters and a minimum of one Stinger Section or Vulcan/Avenger Platoon on each of the thirteen ships. The plan included the front loading of the Headquarters and Headquarters Battery to provide the initial control, command and a link into Theater Air Defense Commands, as well as provide the initial short range air defense umbrella over the Sea Port of Debarkation and associated staging areas.
In the midst of all the other activities, an accelerated NTC recovery plan was accomplished and all vehicles were serviced and road tested. New 5-ton trucks were obtained and all vehicles were painted sand color by organic paint teams. Massive quantities of long needed equipment were received, including night goggles, GPS position/navigation devices, radios and installation kits and not least needed; tentage. Load plans for vehicles and containers were developed and vehicles were uploaded. Ammunition basic loads were delivered, uploaded, inspected and placed under guard.
Persian Gulf War, Southwest Asia
As ship arrival dates were confirmed, vehicles were staged for movement and received a final automotive inspection. On schedule, by mid September heavy vehicles were loaded at the Fort Hood railhead to make the trip to the seaports of Houston and Beaumont, the seaports of Embarkation. Additional vehicles formed road conveys that left every two hours, around the clock.
On 16 September, an Air Force C5A Galaxy, carrying the advanced headquarters staff, left Fort Hood Robert Gray Army Airfield. In the final drama, on 28 – 29 September, Soldiers of two batteries assembled for manifest roll call. The moment came; busses pulled up and the time for memories had begun. The other two batteries and a small “stay behind” team deployed over the next two weeks. Upon arrival at Dammon, an early warning network to alert of an impending missile or aircraft attack was immediately established.
soldiers of the battalion were housed in two separate warehouse locations and quickly went about the business of offloading ships, inventorying equipment and preparing vehicles for movement to field locations. As Vulcan Systems arrived, platoons were assigned defense missions covering ground and sea approaches into Division staging areas and Command Posts. As soon as their equipment arrived and became combat ready, the battalion began their move to Assembly Area Horse, in the desert 160 kilometers northwest of the port.
On 6 October, “B” Battery deployed its Command Post, Vulcans and Stingers to the desert with the initial elements of the 1st Cavalry Division. They provided liaison and defense support to the Assault Command Post of the Division and coordinated an ever expanding air defense umbrella over the deploying forces. On 13 October, the Battalion TAC deployed and assumed control of all air defense operations. In addition the Battalion deployed its Fire Coordination Team to the USAF Control and Reporting (CRC) at the Dhahran Air Base who maintained a direct link between the Division and all tactical, strategic and national surveillance sources in the theater.
On 23 October, the Division was ordered to move to AA Wendy, located 15 kilometers northwest of King Khalid Military City (KKMC). Its mission was to block approaches to the city and be in a position to respond to attacks down the Wadi al Batin, which is the historic approach through the tri-border area. Upon this juncture, the Battalion had to leave “B” Battery with the Tiger Brigade in AA Horse with a counter attack mission in support of XVIII Airborne Corps. The balance of the air defense platoons moved to AA Wendy with their respective supported Brigades. As the Division completed its movement west, the battalion relocated its Fire Coordination Team to a newly formed CRC at KKMC.
Due to projected terrorists and special operation forces threat, Vulcan Platoons provided continuous ground defense coverage to the three Command Posts of the Division. When all forces of the Division had deployed, by 30 October, the Battalion task reorganized providing one battery in direct support of each Brigade Battle Task Force. Throughout the occupation of AA Horse, approximately one third of all air defense weapon systems remained deployed providing continuous coverage, while others trained for combat operations.
Receiving word that the three Avenger Platoons had completed training and would arrive prior to anticipated combat, the Battalion began transitioning to the new Avenger Battalion configuration on 10 December. Freed equipment was used to create the new Delta Battery Headquarters. Throughout the transition, contingency plans existed to quickly reconfigure the displaced Stinger Teams should hostilities commence prior to the arrival of Avengers in the theater.
On 2 January, the Tiger Brigade, including “B” Battery, was attached to the 2nd Marine Division giving them a heavy armored punch required to penetrate Iraqi belts as they attacked deep into Kuwait. “B” Battery quickly integrated itself into the Marines operations and logistic systems. “B” Battery equipped themselves with early warning downlink devices which enabled the Battery Command to receive a real-time radar picture of the air combat situation. The air weapons weapon systems (2 Vulcan Platoons and 2 Stinger Sections) of the battery were integrated into the overall air defense design of the Division, allowing the Marines to reposition some of their Stinger Teams to provide a greater depth of coverage.
In January 1991, the division was attached to VII (US) Corps and the focus of the First Team clearly began to shift toward offensive action. On 14 January, in a driving rainstorm the Division was ordered to quickly move its 17,000 Soldiers under the cover of darkness to new defensive positions south of the Tapline Road. By morning, all had moved over 80 km and were in a position to protect critical logistical bases and VII Corps staging areas, as well as being in a position to quickly support the Syrians to the front and Egyptian forces to the right flank.
In the early morning of 17 January 1991, the Fire Coordination Team issued notification that 100 Tomahawk missiles had been launched and the Air Campaign had begun. The Air Defense Warning was elevated to “Yellow” and the Weapons System Control Status to “Tight”. The response of Iraq came quickly in the form of a SCUD Missile launched toward Dhahran. The Fire Coordination Team of the battalion provided an instantaneous alert of the launch and passed it on to all elements of the Division. This began many tests of the Early Warning System, which operated continuously and effectively.
On 20 January, the Avenger Platoons arrived with their equipment following on the 27th. By early February, the Battalion had all its combat power to full strength. It totaled six Vulcan Platoons, ten Stinger Sections, six Avenger Platoons and six FARR’s along with an additional sixty replacement Soldiers from Fort Bliss and various CONUS Divisions.
As the Air Campaign progressed and the VII Corps continued to build combat strength, the Division was ordered to move further north of the Tapline Road and establish a defense which was more able to block an Iraqi preemptive strike and support the Allies to the North. As the Syrian and Egyptian Forces were ordered to shift their positions to the east, the 1st Cavalry Division moved north to provide a screen along the tri border area and to ultimately portray an Allied main strike up the Wadi al Batin.
During 7-20 February, the offensive lines of the 1st Cavalry Division have crept north and are now just below the border. Both of the 1st and 2nd Brigades and supporting artillery conduct reconnaissance, artillery raids, and “Berm Buster” obstacle reduction missions.
In its final strategic position, the First Team was given the most critical mission of the entire Ground Campaign. Its threefold mission was to lure Saddam Hussein into believing the Allied attack would come occur up the Wadi al Batin, and trick him into placing additional forces there, while at the same time gather information on the organization and disposition of the enemy along with an assessment of their reaction and tactics against U.S. Forces. The First Team began its secret fight to deceive Iraq long before the world would come to know that “ground-war fighting” had already begun. The deception consisted of three major thrusts:
1. Operation Red Storm, a VII Corps Artillery-Aviation raid up the Wadi al Batin, was designed to make the Iraqis believe that the Wadi was being prepped for the main offensive. It utilized the resources of the 11th Aviation Brigade, the 1st Cavalry Division Artillery, and elements of the VII Corps Artillery. Just prior to 0100 hours, 16 February 1991, the artillery units fired a three minute prep on selected targets, followed by Apache attack helicopters crossing the Berm to engage targets of opportunity. In conjunction with this action, USAF assets attacked targets deep in Iraqi. The several aviation raids placed a unique opportunity to successfully execute detailed Army Airspace Command and Control (A2C2) procedures.
A reconnaissance in force conducted by Task Force 1-5 CAV up the Wadi al Batin to determine the strength, composition, and disposition of Iraqi forces in the area. This operation, intended to make the Iraqis think that a major attack up the Wadi al Batin was being initiated, was the first mounted combat in Iraq during the war. It was also the bloodiest battle of the war for the 1st Cavalry Division.
2. Desert Storm’s “First” major ground encounter was on 19/20 February 1991 when the division’s 2nd (Blackjack) Brigade attacked 10 miles into Iraq, confirming and destroying enemy positions. On the opening of the ground war, the Blackjack Brigade, supported by the Aviation Brigade Apache helicopters, moved into Iraq on a “reconnaissance in force”. “C” Battery placed Stinger Teams in armored vehicles in support of three company teams and employed a Section of two Vulcans and the leader of the 2nd Platoon with Alpha Company. The Brigade broke contact after penetrating enemy obstacles, taking fire and causing the enemy to light oil fire trenches. They withdrew south to join the division for the subsequent series of final attacks.
The 3rd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery, reinforced by Battery A, 21st Field Artillery (MLRS), fired in support of the 2nd “Blackjack” Brigade’s attack up the Wadi al Batin on “G-Day”, the first day of the ground campaign. This attack was a “feint”; intended to make the Iraqis think that the coalition main attack was coming up the Wadi al Batin.
3. After thirty-eight days of continuous air attacks on targets in Iraq and Kuwait, the commander of the Allied Forces, General Norman Schwarzkopf unleashed all-out attacks against Iraqi forces very early on 24 February 1991. The 3rd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery, reinforced by Battery “A”, 21st Field Artillery Multiple Launched Rocket Systems (MLRS) laid down heavy fire in support of the 2nd “Blackjack” Brigade’s “feint” attack up the Wadi al Batin. The Blackjack Brigade with its supporting Air Defense Artillery attacked up the Wadi al Batin and struck deep into Iraq. In heavy fighting, they penetrated Iraqi’s defense and caused the fire trenches to be lit. They withdrew south to join the division for its final attack.
This operation was an unqualified success. The enemy reacted as anticipated. Iraqi divisions focused on the coalition threat in the Wadi, and the First Team froze them. The deception worked, in that it tied down four Iraqi divisions, leaving their flanks thinned and allowed the VII Corps to attack virtually unopposed, conducting a successful envelopment of Iraqi forces to the west.
On 26 February, shortly after noon, the Division received the mission to join the VII Corps. Thus commenced the longest continuous armored movement in history. The division charged west pausing only to refuel before passing through breeches in the enemy obstacle belt. Racing north, then east, the division moved in a vast armada of armor, stretching from horizon to horizon, The 4th Battalion elements were integrated into all formations and provided continuous coverage both day and night. Effective communications were maintained despite a separation of 300 km between lead and read elements. Within 24 hours, the first Team had gone 300 kilometers, slicing deep into the enemy’s rear. As the division prepared to destroy a Republican Guard division, the cease fire halted it.
The Tiger Brigade and “B” Battery were given the mission of spearheading the attack of the 2nd Marine Division into Kuwait and securing objectives in the vicinity of al Jahrah and the International Airport to the West of Kuwait City. Bravo Battery employed Vulcan Platoons in Direct Support of lead task forces, while utilizing Stinger Sections to cover the trailing trains. Moving under an F-18 and Hawk umbrella, the penetration of the initial defensive belts was easy, but hard fighting ensued in the second defensive belt on the outskirts of the city of al Jahrah. The fighting was a combination of long range tank batteries and close-in fighting as fortified positions were breached.
Vulcan crews provided suppressive fires on the flanks of tanks and Bradley platoons, allowing them to concentrate on the direct close battle to their fronts. Vulcans destroyed numerous light armored vehicles, killed several hundred Iraqi infantry and reduced numerous bunkers to piles of broken concrete and sand. Though Bravo Battery experienced some of the hardest fighting in the Division, except for one flesh wound, they came out unharmed. On 28 February, amidst the haze of burning oil wells, the Tiger Brigade began mopping up the area and reconstituting its forces.
The Cease Fire became official at 8:00 on 28 February as the 1st Cavalry Division was poised to attack. The units of the 1st Cavalry Division setup defensive positions where the cease fire had stopped their attack, then expanded north to “Highway 8,” clearing bunkers and looking for enemy equipment and Soldiers. The 1st (Ironhorse) Brigade stretched through the historic Euphrates River Valley. The Tiger Brigade consolidated into a Brigade assembly area on the outskirts of al Jahrah and continued reconstitution operations. Within two weeks the 4th Battalion along with the 1st Cavalry Division moved south into Saudi Arabia and its new assembly area (AA) Killeen, just west of Hafar al Batin. There on the plain of the Wadi al Batin – the Cavalry began to prepare for redeployment home.
Post Gulf War
Since the war, elements of the battalion deployed to the Emirate of Kuwait twice for exercise Intrinsic Action and once for exercise Iris Gold. The Battalion led the Army as a modern heavy-division battalion with three batteries of Bradley Stinger Fighting Vehicles and one battery of Avengers.
On 15 March 1996, the 4th Battalion was designated as the Regimental Headquarters for the 5th Air Defense Regiment. The only air defense battalion within the Division, the Renegades stood ready to again deploy, fight and win with the First Team.
As one of the preparation efforts, Exercise Clear Skies I, a joint service and inter-agency operation, was conducted for three days in July, 2002 under the command of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and involved units from NORAD, Air Force, Navy, Army, Customs Service, Federal Aviation Administration and the Secret Service.
“Operation Clear Skies – Washington DC”
To support the mission of protecting national assets after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, elements of 4th Battalion, 5th Air Defense Artillery (ADA) along with staff officers of the 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC) deployed to the National Capitol Region in early September 2002 as part of the multi-layered air defense exercise. This exercise integrated fighter and support aircraft, radar and ground-based air defense systems and communication links, including those of the Sentinel radar, Avenger Antiaircraft Missile Weapon System, and Stinger Man Portable missile systems of the 4th Battalion, 5th ADA.
On 9 September, the operation was upgraded as Operation Clear Skies II and was scheduled to end on 14 September. However, on 10 September, in response to elevated security threats, the Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld approved the transition of the exercise into a live operation “Noble Eagle” – loading the launchers with live missiles to provide an extra layer of defense for the anniversary of the 11 September attack on the United States, which included a large outdoor ceremony at the Pentagon attended by President Bush.
On 11 September 2012, while citizens of the world contemplated the events surrounding the first anniversary of the September attacks on the United States, the Renegades of the 4th Battalion, 5th ADA Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division turned their portable short range air system, the eyes of the Sentinel and striking force of the Avenger, skyward to protect the nation’s capitol.
The urban environment required innovative solutions to issues like force protection, terrain management, and movement of personnel and visitors. Additionally the Soldiers of the 4th Battalion, 5th ADA successfully handled the extra stresses and pressures related to being a highly visible part of a high profile operation.
Many of the Washington area’s monuments are visible from the tactical Avenger and Stinger team locations and were constant reminders to the Soldiers that they are deployed here for an important reason.
On 18 September, one week after the Pentagon activated the network of antiaircraft missiles to defend Washington DC against another potential terrorist attack, the operation was evaluated as being able to meet the potential threat and the missiles were deactivated and removed. Following a debriefing, the 4th Battalion, 5th ADA returned to Fort Hood, Texas.
Building on the after action findings of the Washington DC deployment during the period of 14 to 22 November, elements of the 4th Battalion, 5th ADA participated in additional Integrated Inter Agency System Intrusion Detection and Threat Response Tests which were held in the areas surrounding Crawford, Texas.
On 7 February 2003 the Attorney General, John Ashcroft, announced the increase of the national threat level from “Yellow” to “Orange,” indicating the possibility of a “high risk of terrorist attacks.” The level was raised in part because of a high amount of “chatter” being intercepted by various intelligence agencies.
In response, elements of the 4th Battalion, 5th ADA redeployed to the national capital and by 12 February all of their equipment was in position and integrated into the defense system communications network. Since that movement, they have remained there on station, carrying out their assigned precautionary and prudent defense mission.
Despite heavy commercial and military air traffic in the immediate region, the Soldiers of 4th Battalion, 5th ADA continue to be at a high state of alert and motivation. Relying on previous training for confidence in the success of this mission, they remain composed and continue to calmly man their strategically located positions ready to respond should the situation warrant.
The battalion was deployed to Iraq along with the rest of the 1st Cavalry Division for Operation Iraqi Freedom from March 2004 to March 2005. The battalion’s mission was to provide security of key assets in “Victory North” and the Taji area of operations in Northern Baghdad and in the vicinity of the Baghdad International Airport.
After returning to Fort Hood the 4th Battalion, 5th Air Defense Artillery was relieved from assignment to the 1st Cavalry Division and assigned to the 31st Air Defense Artillery Brigade remaining at Fort Hood, Texas.
From June 2006 to July 2007, a detachment from the battalion served as the 1st Counter-Rocket Artillery and Mortar (CRAM) Sense and Warn detachment providing early warning for Multi-National Corps-Iraq again in Baghdad.
On 13 June 2008, the battalion was assigned to the 69th Air Defense Artillery Brigade. In October of 2008, the battalion began a one-year deployment to Korea providing continuous Air Missile Defense cover for the Southern area of responsibility in the Republic of Korea.
In March 2009, E Battery deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as part of Task Force 3-3 ADA.

A zero gun test is used to check that the automatic timing system starts and captures properly. The test involves placing a starting gun with the start sensor flat on the finish line and fired. The timing system should capture the flash of the gun at zero seconds. The zero gun test is required for IAAF running records. During a meet, the test should be performed once a day on each of the finish lines that will be used that day.
I use the auto capture function in finish lynx so I temporarily set it to manual capture. I created a new blank event and to the capture on. I placed the gun near the track with the chamber near the leading edge of the starting line and fired. In finish lynx I confirmed the flash occurred at 0.000.
It’s a good idea to place something under the gun, cardboard or newspaper, or your finish line will get covered with black power from the gun. Hindsight is 20/20 and now I have a black powder stain on the finish line. | weapons_science |

The Royal Australian Air Force has taken delivery of its first EA-18G Growler fighter jet, one of twelve it will acquire over coming years.
Australia is the first country outside the US to obtain the fighter jets, which are a derivative of the F/A-18 Super Hornet. Boeing, the maker of the EA-18Gs, says they’re the only aircraft in production which provide tactical jamming and electronic protection.
The first of the fleet was handed over at a ceremony in St. Louis, USA. Air Marshal Geoff Brown, former chief of the RAAF said: ‘The Growlers will complement our existing and future air combat capability. In many respects, it’s the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle for the RAAF.’
The Growler will now fly to a U.S. Naval station in California for more flight testing before moving to Washington where Australian pilots will train in flying the fighters. The new aircraft is expected to arrive in Australia in 2017. | weapons_science |

It is similar to but shorter than a katana, and mostly longer than the tanto. The wakizashi was usually worn together with the katana by the samurai or swordsmen of feudal Japan. When worn together the pair of swords were called Daisho, which translates literally as "large and small". The katana was often called the sword or the long sword and the wakizashi the companion sword.

For 20 years, Green served in the British Royal Navy. As a bombardier-navigator, he flew in nuclear strike aircraft and anti-submarine helicopters. On promotion to Commander in 1978, he worked in the UK Ministry of Defence before being appointed to Staff Officer (Intelligence) to the Commander-in-Chief Fleet during the Falklands War.
Since leaving the British Royal Navy in 1982, he has worked tirelessly for the abolition of nuclear weapons and serves as the Co-Director of the Disarmament & Security Centre in New Zealand and is the author of Security Without Nuclear Deterrence.
Here are just a few of the important points Commander Green makes against nuclear weapons.
My skepticism over nuclear deterrence grew when the Berlin Wall came down; but it took the Gulf War to make me break out of my pro-nuclear brainwashing. As the first ex-RN Commander with nuclear weapon experience to speak out against them, it was very traumatic.
In the run-up to the Gulf War, my military intelligence training warned me that the US-led coalition’s blitzkrieg/punitive expedition strategy would give Saddam Hussein the pretext he needed to attack Israel – an undeclared nuclear weapon State. If thereby Israel was drawn into the conflict, this might split the coalition. If not, he still stood to gain widespread Arab support for being the first Arab leader for years to take on the Israelis.
My greatest fear was that the Iraqi leader would be provoked enough to attack Israel with chemical-headed Scud missiles. Knowing that West German technical support was involved in the warhead design, Israel’s Prime Minister Shamir would come under massive pressure to retaliate with a nuclear strike on Baghdad. Iraq had the best anti-nuclear bunkers Western technology could provide; but even if Saddam did not survive, what would happen next? With Baghdad a radiated ruin, the entire Arab world would erupt in fury against Israel and her friends: there would be terror bombings in every allied capital; Israel’s security would be destroyed forever; and Russia would be sucked in.
The first Scud attack hit Tel Aviv on the night of January 18, 1991. For the first time, the second most important city of a de-facto nuclear State had been attacked and its capital threatened. Worse, the aggressor did not have nuclear weapons. The rest of the world still waits to learn what Bush had to promise Shamir for not retaliating – fortunately, the warhead was conventional high explosive, and casualties were light. The Israeli people, cowering in gas-masks in their basements, learned that night that their nuclear “deterrent” had failed in its primary purpose. Some 38 more Scud attacks followed.
Meanwhile, in Britain the IRA just missed wiping out the entire Gulf War Cabinet with a mortar bomb attack from a van in Whitehall. They were not deterred by Polaris – yet a more direct threat to the government could barely be imagined.
Nuclear Deterrence Won’t Work Against Terrorists –
With the break-up of the Soviet Union and an unchecked arms trade, it is only a matter of time before terrorists get a nuclear weapon. They are the most likely “proliferators,” because nuclear blackmail is the ultimate expression of megalomania and terrorism. Yet nuclear deterrence cannot be relied upon against such threats.
What If Terrorists Try Nuclear Blackmail?
The first rule is that on no account should the threat of nuclear annihilation be used to try and oppose them. They will just call your bluff – because targeting them with even a small nuclear weapon would be impossible without incurring unacceptable collateral damage and provoking global outrage. Indeed, they would relish taking as many others with them as they could. So nuclear weapons are worse than useless in such a crisis.
My advice would be to emulate how the French authorities dealt with a man with explosives wrapped around his chest who hijacked a class of schoolchildren and threatened to blow them up if his demands were not met. They exhausted him by lengthy negotiations while installing surveillance devices to determine his condition and location. At an optimum moment Special Forces moved in and shot him dead with a silenced handgun.
The most important underlying point to make here is that the surest way to minimize the chances of a nuclear hijack is to stop treating the Bomb as a top asset in the security business and the ultimate political virility symbol.
This nightmare will intensify as long as the five permanent members of the UN Security Council insist on the Bomb to “guarantee” their ultimate security – when in fact it does the exact opposite – while trying to deny it to other States. Such a policy of nuclear apartheid is hypocritical and un-sustainable.
Nuclear Deterrence Undermines Security –
The Falklands and Gulf Wars taught me that competing for unilateral security leads to more insecurity, both for others and ultimately oneself. We need a new understanding of security: one that sees it as a safety net for all, not a “win or lose” military game which leaves the underlying problems which caused the war unresolved, and feeds the arms trade. True security lies in fostering a just, sustainable world order.
The Bomb directly threatens security – both of those who possess it and those it is meant to impress. Indeed, it is a security problem, not a solution. This is because it provokes the greatest threat: namely, the spread of nuclear weapons to megalomaniac leaders and terrorists – who are least likely to be deterred.
Nuclear Deterrence Undermines Democracy –
Democracy depends on responsible use of political and military power, with leaders held accountable to the will of the majority of the people. If a democratic nation is forced to use State-sanctioned violence to defend itself, its leaders must stay within recognized moral and legal limits.
The policy of nuclear deterrence inevitably involves an actual intention to use nuclear weapons under certain – admittedly extreme – circumstances. Michael Dummett, Wykeham Professor of Logic at New College, Oxford took up the argument in a speech on 19 October 1993:
“We have to ask ourselves, ‘Is it wrong to have an intention to do what is wrong?’ Plainly it is. So, ‘Is it wrong to have a conditional intention to do what would be wrong?’ There is a seductive argument which goes: ‘The point is to prevent the condition from arising in which I am threatening to use nuclear weapons.’ What is wrong about that is not any consequence of forming that intention; it is that you give your will, albeit conditionally, to the act intended.
“The strategy of deterrence requires a conditional intention to commit a monstrously wicked act: to annihilate entire cities and all the people living in them. It is therefore a strategy which no government should use and no citizen should support.”
From Nuclear Deterrence to Abolition –
On 4 December 1996 in Washington, General Lee Butler USAF (Ret’d),Commander-in-Chief of US Strategic Command from 1992- 94, explained to the National Press Club why he, too, had “made the long and arduous journey from staunch advocate of nuclear deterrence to public proponent of nuclear abolition.” He warned: “Options are being lost as urgent questions are unasked, or unanswered; as outmoded routines perpetuate Cold War patterns and thinking; and as a new generation of nuclear actors and aspirants lurch backward toward a chilling world where the principal antagonists could find no better solution to their entangled security fears than Mutual Assured Destruction.”
As a member of the Canberra Commission on the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, General Butler had joined Field Marshal Lord Carver, Chief of the UK Defence Staff from 1973-76, in stating:
“The risks of retaining nuclear arsenals in perpetuity far outweigh any possible benefit imputed to deterrence … The end of the Cold War has created a new climate for international action to eliminate nuclear weapons, a new opportunity. It must be exploited quickly or it will be lost.”
Their first recommended step towards this is for all nuclear forces to be taken off alert. This would “reduce dramatically the chance of an accidental or unauthorized nuclear weapons launch.” Apart from making the world much safer, it would puncture the myths of nuclear deterrence doctrine once and for all.
Rob Green is but one of the many clear and compelling voices of common sense in the abolition of nuclear weapons. My hope is that his voice, and others like him, will rise to such a level that every country will realize that they can no longer afford not to take those necessary actions in making the world safe from nuclear threat. | weapons_science |

Nuclear weapon design The Trinity test of the Manhattan Project was the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, which lead J. Robert Oppenheimer to recall verses from the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita: Weapons whose explosive output is exclusively from fission reactions are commonly referred to as atomic bombs or atom bombs abbreviated as A-bombs.
This has long been noted as something of a misnomeras their energy comes from the nucleus of the atom, just as it does with fusion weapons. In fission weapons, a mass of fissile material enriched uranium or plutonium is forced into supercriticality —allowing an exponential growth of nuclear chain reactions —either by shooting one piece of sub-critical material into another the "gun" method or by compressing using explosive lenses a sub-critical sphere of material using chemical explosives to many times its original density the "implosion" method.
The latter approach is considered more sophisticated than the former, and only the latter approach can be used if the fissile material is plutonium.
The amount of energy released by fission bombs can range from the equivalent of just under a ton to upwards oftons kilotons of TNT 4. Many fission products are either highly radioactive but short-lived or moderately radioactive but long-livedand as such, they are a serious form of radioactive contamination if not fully contained.
Fission products are the principal radioactive component of nuclear fallout. The most commonly used fissile materials for nuclear weapons applications have been uranium and plutonium Less commonly used has been uranium Neptunium and some isotopes of americium may be usable for nuclear explosives as well, but it is not clear that this has ever been implemented, and their plausible use in nuclear weapons is a matter of dispute.
Thermonuclear weapon The basics of the Teller—Ulam design for a hydrogen bomb: The other basic type of nuclear weapon produces a large proportion of its energy in nuclear fusion reactions. Such fusion weapons are generally referred to as thermonuclear weapons or more colloquially as hydrogen bombs abbreviated as H-bombsas they rely on fusion reactions between isotopes of hydrogen deuterium and tritium.
All such weapons derive a significant portion of their energy from fission reactions used to "trigger" fusion reactions, and fusion reactions can themselves trigger additional fission reactions.
Whether India has detonated a "true" multi-staged thermonuclear weapon is controversial. Almost all of the nuclear weapons deployed today use the thermonuclear design because it is more efficient. In the Teller-Ulam designwhich accounts for all multi-megaton yield hydrogen bombs, this is accomplished by placing a fission bomb and fusion fuel tritiumdeuteriumor lithium deuteride in proximity within a special, radiation-reflecting container.
When the fission bomb is detonated, gamma rays and X-rays emitted first compress the fusion fuel, then heat it to thermonuclear temperatures. The ensuing fusion reaction creates enormous numbers of high-speed neutronswhich can then induce fission in materials not normally prone to it, such as depleted uranium.
Each of these components is known as a "stage", with the fission bomb as the "primary" and the fusion capsule as the "secondary". In large, megaton-range hydrogen bombs, about half of the yield comes from the final fissioning of depleted uranium.
This technique can be used to construct thermonuclear weapons of arbitrarily large yield, in contrast to fission bombs, which are limited in their explosive force.
Most thermonuclear weapons are considerably smaller than this, due to practical constraints from missile warhead space and weight requirements.
Other types Main articles: Boosted fission weaponNeutron bombRadiological warfareand Antimatter weapon There are other types of nuclear weapons as well. For example, a boosted fission weapon is a fission bomb that increases its explosive yield through a small number of fusion reactions, but it is not a fusion bomb.
In the boosted bomb, the neutrons produced by the fusion reactions serve primarily to increase the efficiency of the fission bomb.Information on nuclear energy and the nuclear fuel cycle from the World Nuclear Association.

It is a system used to detect, range and map objects such as aircraft and rain. It can also be used for detect, spacecraft, ships, guided missiles, weather formations, motor vehicles, terrain and guided missiles. Strong radio waves are transmitted, and a receiver listens for reflected echoes. The reflector can be located and sometimes identified by analyzing the reflected signal. Even though the amount of signal returned is small, radio signals can easily be amplified and detected.
A radar system has a transmitter, which generating electromagnetic waves in the form of radio or microwaves domain, a receiving antenna, a transmitting antenna, and a receiver and processor to determine properties of the object(s). Radio waves (pulsed or continuous) from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver, providing information about the location and speed of the object. During Second World War, Radar was secretly developed for armed forces which are used by some countries.
It can operate in darkness, haze, fog, rain, snow and capability to measure distance with high accuracy in all weather conditions. Recently, radar are used in air defense system, ocean surveillance systems, target locating systems radar astronomy, antimissile systems, marine radars to locate landmarks and other ships, aircraft anti-collision systems, outer space surveillance and rendezvous systems, meteorological precipitation monitoring, altimetry and flight control systems, guided missile, ground-penetrating radar for geological observations, and range-controlled radar for public health surveillance. High tech radar systems are related with digital signal processing, machine learning which has ability of take out useful information in very high noise levels. | weapons_science |

Current M4A1 carbine with detachable carrying handle. Fire selector The fire selector is located on the left side of the rifle just above the pistol grip and is rotated by the shooter's right thumb.
To use, the selector is rotated 90 degrees clockwise down and forward into the semi-auto position and then rotated an additional 90 degrees clockwise forward and up into the full-auto or burst position. To return to safe the selector is then rotated degrees counter-clockwise down, backward and up.
Some M16 type rifles also have an ambidextrous fire selector on the right side of the receiver, designed to be operated by a left-handed shooter's thumb. This selector mirrors its opposite and functions as describe above. The fire selector is a large lever located on the right side of the rifle; it acts as a dust-cover and prevents the charging handle from being pulled fully to the rear when it is on safe.
It is operated by the shooter's right fore-fingers and it has 3 settings: The reason for this is that, when under stress, a soldier will push the selector lever down with considerable force bypassing the full-auto stage and setting the rifle to semi-auto.
To set the AK to full-auto requires the deliberate action of centering the selector lever. To chamber, simply insert a loaded magazine straight into the magazine well, then pull the cocking handle back and release.

Factory fit stocks, whether finished or unfinished, typically can be bolted to your firearm with no fitting needed. In making stocks from solid wood, one must take into account the natural properties and variability of woods. Laminated wood consists of two or more layers of wood, impregnated with glue and attached permanently to each other. Every stock is virtually identical in dimension, and requires no bedding, inletting, or finishing. A gunstock is broadly divided into two parts see above. The Platinum follows the design of our Classic. The comb is parallel to the bore, which aids in scope use, and because of its straight-line design, minimizes cheek slap under recoil. In some modern firearm designs, the lower receiver and handguard replace the fore-end stock, leaving only the butt portion for the stock. Today Boyds offers this shape in a variety of makes and models of rifles. A bump stock utilizes the natural recoil motion of a semi-automatic rifle to facilitate rapid fire similar to an automatic firearm without requiring any modification of internal mechanisms to convert the firearm to an automatic weapon.

Location: Keypoint Credit Union
An event brought to you by the IEEE Silicon Valley Tech History Committee
In 1956, Lockheed moved its new division – Lockheed Missile Systems Division – to a 275 acre site next to Moffett Field in Sunnyvale. Lockheed had been selected as the systems manager for the Navy’s Polaris Fleet Ballistic Missile, and the developer of the missile itself. Lockheed in the Santa Clara Valley went from zero employees in 1956 to more than 28,000 by 1965, far greater growth than at HP or Fairchild. Perhaps what is now Silicon Valley should have been dubbed “Defense Valley.”
Polaris was the first submarine launched ballistic missile in the America’s triad of nuclear defense systems. Extended through four production generations (Polaris A1, A2, A3 and Poseidon C3), it was retired from service in the early 1990s. These were followed by Trident I C4 and today’s Trident II D5. Polaris/Poseidon and Trident – collectively known as the US Navy fleet ballistic missiles – recently celebrated its 60th anniversary, and they are generally recognized as one of the most successful US military industrial programs.
Come to this event and hear three former Lockheed senior leaders to get a perspective of the “Defense Valley” of the 1950s and 1960s, and the Polaris/Poseidon program that led to today’s Tridents that make up the most secure leg of the strategic Triad.
Dave Montague is a forty-year Lockheed employee who retired in 1996 as the President of the Missile Systems Division and as a Corporate Vice President. He came to the Valley in 1957 as an engineer on the new Polaris program. He progressed up the supervisory and management chain in positions in guidance and control, systems engineering and program management for the Polaris, Poseidon and Trident 1. He eventually was part of the executive management team for the Tactical and Defense systems and Trident II, as well as several compartmentalized programs. He is a Fellow of the AIAA and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He graduated from Cornell University in 1956.
Cliff Kancler is a forty two-year Lockheed employee who retired in 2007. Starting in 1965 with work on the first airborne general purpose digital guidance computer, Cliff was a major contributor in computer architecture development for guidance computers and for tactical and defense interceptor computers. In addition to being part of our strategic defense systems, computers from Cliff’s group are circling the solar system and have helped explore the moon. He has earned recognition as an LM fellow, and has a number of patents and awards. He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in 1965.
Roy Dreisbach is a thirty seven-year Lockheed employee retired in 1997. Upon graduating from Menlo College in 1960, Roy joined Lockheed and held senior administrative assignments in the Missile Systems, Research and Development, Advanced Systems and Space Systems Divisions. His work spanned programs from Polaris A1 through Trident II, as well as Tactical and Defense Systems. He is an ex-naval aviator, having flown the Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation early warning aircraft from 1954 to 1958.
Moderator Tom Gardner is from the valley’s storage industry, and would thus prefer to call it the “Iron Oxide Valley.” He has learned much about Defense Valley while preparing for this panel.

In a development that has caught the attention of global defense analysts, North Korea has proudly introduced its first-ever “strategic nuclear-powered submarine.” The vessel, labeled as submarine 842 and christened “Pioneer Kim Tae-sung” in honor of a revered naval figure from the nation’s past, is set to oversee the maritime region stretching between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago.
This significant reveal was orchestrated at the Nampo naval docks, situated on North Korea’s eastern shoreline. The timing was no coincidence, as it aligned with the nation’s 75th Foundation Day celebrations on September 9th. Kim Jong-un, the nation’s paramount leader, graced the event with his presence. During his speech, Kim highlighted the submarine’s pivotal role in strengthening the nation’s naval offensive capabilities. He lauded the party’s vision of persistently upgrading the naval arsenal and emphasized the pressing need for the navy to embrace nuclear advancements, given the evolving global dynamics.
A glimpse into North Korea’s maritime ambitions
Upon closer inspection, the submarine seems to be an adaptation of the older Whiskey-class, a relic from the Soviet era. North Korea had previously acquired versions of this from China during the 1970s and subsequently embarked on indigenous production. However, defense experts are debating the real strategic value this submarine might add to North Korea’s already formidable land-based nuclear arsenal. Given its foundation in dated, acoustically detectable designs with a constrained operational radius, its efficacy in an actual combat situation remains a topic of discussion.
Military insiders from South Korea have voiced doubts regarding the submarine’s battle-readiness. Hinting that North Korea might be projecting an inflated image of its naval might. As global powers keep a vigilant eye on these developments, the launch of this submarine reaffirms North Korea’s relentless pursuit of military enhancement, even in the face of international reservations. | weapons_science |

The missile is not thought to have caused any damage.
The missile is believed to be the latest test-launch of a ballistic missile as North Korea seeks to build a nuclear-tipped inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) which could reach the mainland of the United States – something it is thought to still be several years away from achieving.
South Korea’s military believed the launch came from around the coastal town of Wonsan in the east of the secretive country.
US Pacific Command said the missile was tracked for six minutes and was not thought to pose a threat to the US.
A spokesperson for the Japanese Government said the launch of a missile would be in clear violation of United Nations resolutions.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that G7 leaders had agreed that repeated provocations by North Korea were seen as a top priority for the international community.
Mr Abe continued that he would consider a specific response to North Korea with the US, and he would stay in close contact with South Korea. | weapons_science |

This articles explain some of the best things about good tactical knives which will help you choose a good knife for regular use. These knives are used by both police officers and civilians for things like camping, cutting cords, and some combat situations as well.
If you’re looking to buy a tactical knife for yourself, below mentioned are a few things you should consider. You can also check Knife Guides to know more about the best police knife.
Design of The Knife
When buying a tactical knife, you should make sure that the knife easily fulfills your tactical needs. You should never invest in a tactical knife which comes from a cheap brand. That’s because smaller knife brands aren’t as reliable as bugger and well-established brands. Buying a wring design won’t help you in any way. In fact, you might find it really hard to use if you end up buying the wrong design.
Your tactical knife will be made of blade and a handle. The quality of joint between these two things determines the quality of your knife, and how well it’ll work under different situations. When it comes to the blade, you should choose a stainless steel blade, as the material is know to last a really long time.
As far as the handles are concerned, they can be made either from plastic, from wood, or from stainless steel. Ideally, you’d want to choose a handle material which feels comfortable in your hands, but is strong and non porous as well.
Fluxed Blade Vs Folding Blade
If you use your knife both as a hammer and as a cutter, then you’d better off investing in a fixed blade knife. However, for light uses and concealed carrying, you can invest in a folding blade. | weapons_science |

Mariah Partin, Staff Writer
In the summer of 2015, President Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, more commonly known as the “Iran nuclear deal,” after two years of negotiations. The basics of this deal left Iran with a nuclear program, but impeded and limited production. Iran confirmed they would not develop any nuclear weapons as long as they were able to peacefully continue their atomic program.
According to BBC news, Iran had a large stockpile of rich uranium and nearly 20,000 centrifuges, enough to create eight to ten atomic bombs. This deal also lifted UN sanctions on Iran, which were in place to halt the country’s uranium enrichment. The sanctions had a negative impact on Iran’s economy. At the time, the Iran nuclear deal stated that Iran could not build any more water-heavy nuclear reactors, or accumulate any excess heavy water for 15 years.
In early October, President Trump announced his refusal to sign and recertify the Iran deal, which the president is required to do every 90 days if Iran is in accordance with the stipulations of the deal. So far, Iran does not seem to have broken any part of the deal. Although last month, according to BBC, Iranian officials said they had tested a new medium range missile with a 1,200 mile range, though the missile tests had not been internationally verified.
President Trump wants to end the Iran Nuclear deal’s “sunset clauses” which would lift the restrictions on Iran’s nuclear enrichment program after 2025. He also called for restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile program, which is not covered by the deal. Other U.N. countries that had signed this deal warned that changes to the agreement could result in a return to a nuclear standoff. Despite sharing concerns of the ballistic missile program, the U.K., Germany and France all said they remained committed to the deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu contrastingly congratulated President Trump for confronting “Iran’s terrorist regime.” During an interview with NBC, the US ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, said that the administration’s hope is to stay in the deal if congress can keep it together. She commented that it was their goal to improve the situation, so the American people would feel better. Haley also stated the United States needs to hold Iran accountable in adhering to the agreement.
In a CNN interview with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, he echoed the statement that the U.S. is planning to stay in the agreement. However, he commented that the issue with the deal is that it does not achieve the objective of ending nuclear weapon production in Iran, it simply postpones it. He also stated the U.S. will work with its European allies to address their shared concerns.
Tillerson addressed President Trump’s comment about Iran violating terms. Iran had indeed committed technical violations, but they were remedied. The agreement allowed for such remedies. Haley also used the example of North Korea as something we do not want to get into with Iran. Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, National Security Advisor, said on Fox News Sunday that the administration would stay in the deal, while demanding modifications from congress and potentially forging an additional agreement with Iran. | weapons_science |
http://www.anirudhsethireport.com/tag/nuclear-non-proliferation-treaty/ | 2017-01-20T01:42:20 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280763.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00269-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | 0.961345 | 2,961 | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-04__0__70149392 | en | The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran has shown commitment to its end of the nuclear deal struck last year while visiting Tehran December 18.
Iran has complained about the US extending a sanctions package for another decade. The US says these sanctions are unrelated to the deal; Iran disagrees.
“We are satisfied with the implementation of the [nuclear agreement] and hope that this process will continue,” IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano told the press in the Iranian capital, Reuters reports, citing the IRNA news agency.
“Iran has been committed to its engagement so far and this is important,” he said. Amano was in Tehran to meet head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization Ali Akbar Salehi. After the White House said earlier this week that the sanctions bill would become law even without President Barack Obama’s signature, Iran requested a meeting of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) commission to discuss the situation and ordered its scientists to start developing nuclear systems to power ships. Salehi presented the maritime nuclear propulsion project to Amano and said the country would provide more details on it in three months, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). The initial outline did include what is so far the most controversial issue of the project: the level of uranium-enrichment powering the ships will require.
The US decision to extend 1979 sanctions against Iran for another 10 years violates the nuclear deal struck by Iran with international powers, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said on Sunday.
“The path that the US has taken in regard to Iran will lead to a considerable drop in international trust in the American government,” Rouhani was quoted as saying at a meeting with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Yukiya Amano by Mehr news agency.
He stressed that it was highly significant for all parties to the deal to comply with their commitments, arguing that the US recent decision to prolong Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) for another 10 years clearly violated the Iran nuclear deal.
On July 14, 2015, Iran and the P5+1 group of countries — the United States, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom plus Germany — signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), ensuring the peaceful nature of Tehran’s nuclear program in return for the gradual sanctions relief. The US sanctions introduced against Tehran in 1979, however, were not mentioned in the document.
North Korea’s armed forces are waiting for a signal to carry out a final attack, according to the official newspaper of the Central Committee of North Korea’s Workers’ Party Rodong Sinmun.
On November 30, South Korea and the United States launched their annual aerial exercise, which lasted until December 5. The exercise focused on simulating strikes on radar systems, mobile missile launchers and other key military facilities of North Korea, according to media reports. Also on November 30, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted the draft resolution condemning “in the strongest terms” the nuclear test conducted by North Korea on September 9.
As Russia and America creep ever closer to outright conflict, now that the diplomatic facade of the proxy war in Syria falls away with every passing day, one voice if calling for the world to stop and reassess what it is doing. Former USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev warned on Monday that the world has reached a “dangerous point” as tensions between Russia and the United States surge over the Syria conflict; a conflict which if escalated even fractionally further, could result in all out war between the two superpowers according to General Joseph Dunford.
Gorbachev blamed the current state of affairs between Russia and US on the “collapse of mutual trust” and urged the sides to resume dialogue and push towards demilitarization and complete nuclear disarmament.
“I think the world has reached a dangerous point. I don’t want to give any concrete prescriptions but I do want to say that this needs to stop. We need to renew dialogue. Stopping it was the biggest mistake. Now we must return to the main priorities, such as nuclear disarmament, fighting terrorism and prevention of global environmental disasters. Compared to these challenges, all the rest slips into the background.” Gorbachev said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Relations between Moscow and Washington, already at their lowest since the Cold War over the Ukraine conflict, deteriorated sharply in recent days as the United States pulled the plug on Syria talks and accused Russia of hacking attacks.
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev (L) and U.S. President Ronald Reagan begin their mini-summit talks in Reykjavik October 11, 1986.
Following last week’s sharp escalation in diplomacy between the US and Russia, when John Kerry warned of not only breaking off diplomatic relations over Syria with Russia, and threatening to use “military force” including potentially US-based ground forces in Syria for the first time, but also slamming Russian strikes over Aleppo as “barbaric”, Russia responded Monday when Russian President Vladimir Putin suspended an agreement with the United States for disposal of weapons-grade plutonium because of “unfriendly” acts by Washington, the Kremlin said.
A Kremlin spokesman cited by Reuters said Putin had signed a decree suspending the 2010 agreement under which each side committed to destroy tonnes of weapons-grade material because Washington had not been implementing it and because of current tensions in relations. The deal, signed in 2000 but which did not come into force until 2010, was being suspended due to “the emergence of a threat to strategic stability and as a result of unfriendly actions by the United States of America towards the Russian Federation”, the preamble to the decree said.
It also said that Washington had failed “to ensure the implementation of its obligations to utilize surplus weapons-grade plutonium”. The 2010 agreement, signed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and then-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, called on each side to dispose of 34 tonnes of plutonium by burning in nuclear reactors.
Clinton said at the time that that was enough material to make almost 17,000 nuclear weapons. Both sides then viewed the deal as a sign of increased cooperation between the two former adversaries toward a joint goal of nuclear non-proliferation.
North Korea has suggested the possibility of either conducting its sixth nuclear detonation or test-firing a long-range ballistic missile next month.
Addressing the U.N. General Assembly, Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho on Friday slammed the U.S. and South Korea as “outright aggressive and invasive” for staging two joint military exercises this year.
Ri said North Korea “will continue with a policy to strengthen our nuclear capabilities in terms of quantity and quality” to counter U.S.-led sanctions and “threats” against the country.
He called North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear warheads a “self defense” measure.
During his 15-minute speech, he referred to the U.S. 25 times in a manner that suggested North Korea has pitted itself against the U.S. He hammered the point that Pyongyang will continue pursuing its nuclear and missile programs despite sanctions imposed by a large part of the global community.
Pyongyang wants the U.S. to recognize North Korea as a nuclear power. To realize this, the country believes it needs nuclear warheads and missiles that can deliver them to the mainland of the U.S.
On Wednesday, the US Pacific Command (PACOM) reported that a US B-1B strategic bomber flew from the military base located in Guam and landed at the Osan airbase in South Korea for the first time since 1996. The US military reported that the move aimed to show the US readiness to “defend and to preserve the security of the Korean Peninsula and the region.”
A representative from the North Korean General Staff said that the activities of the United States and South Korea dragged the Korean Peninsula toward potential nuclear war, as cited by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) Friday. According to the statement, Pyongyang’s warheads would destroy Seoul, as well as the US base if the US bombers continued their flights. North Korea has been under pressure from the international community since its January nuclear test and a long-range rocket launch in February, which resulted in tightening sanctions against Pyongyang in the new UN Security Council resolution in March. On September 9, Pyongyang carried out a nuclear test at its northeastern nuclear test site. The nuclear experiment is believed to be the fifth and the largest since North Korea started pursuing nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
While the media has been mostly obsessing over the recently leaked Colin Powell emails that discuss either Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, or Donald Trump, a just as important, from a geopolitical perspective, email was revealed by the DCLeaks website, in which the former Secretary of State admits that Israel as 200 nuclear weapons “all targeted” at Iran, so Iran can’t use one even if “they finally make one.” Powell’s assessment of Iran’s nuclear capacity comes two weeks after it was revealed that the Obama administration had granted Iran “Secret” nuclear deal exemptions, despite claiming otherwise.
More importantly, however, the email to Jeffrey Leeds, Powell’s business associate and major Democratic donor, finally provided the admission that Israel had nuclear weapons, something the biggest US ally in the Middle East has carefully avoided confirming or denying for years, in a policy dubbed “nuclear ambiguity.”
In the Leeds email dated March 3, 2015, Powell writes that “Iranians can’t use [a nuke] if they finally make one,” in the context of the ongoing talks about Tehran’s nuclear program. “The boys in Tehran know Israel has 200, all targeted on Tehran, and we have thousands. As [Iranian President Mahmoudin Ahmedinejad said], ‘What would we do with one, polish it?’ I have spoken publicly about both [North Korea] and Iran. We’ll blow up the only thing they care about—regime survival. Where, how would they even test one?”
The email was sent shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had just visited Washington amid deteriorating relations with the Obama administration, and had given a fiery speech before Congress denouncing the proposed deal under which Iran would consent to invasive inspections in exchange for lifting of the nuclear-related sanctions. The deal was finalized in July 2015, despite much ongoing criticism by both Republicans and Donald Trump who has threatened to undo the deal if elected president.
There is another reason why Powell’s email is troubling: a 1976 amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act bans any US economic and military aid to countries that deliver, receive, acquire or transfer nuclear enrichment technology without abiding by the NPT. Israel is one of the few countries that did not sign the NPT, along with self-admitted nuclear powers India and Pakistan.
When asked by RT for a comment, US State Department spokesman John Kirby declined to answer whether Israel should face the same treatment as Iran and North Korea – both of which have been sanctioned for alleged or actual violations of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The leak comes days after US officials signed a Memorandum of Understanding according to which a record $38 billion in military assistance would be provided to Israel over the next decade, with Israelis pledging to spend nearly all of it on US weapons and training.
it is unclear if Powell’s email is the definitive answer of how many nukes Israel has: according to a 2014 report by the Federation of American Scientists, Israel is believed to possess anywhere between 80 and 400 nuclear weapons, with the lower figure considered more likely. Powell’s words carry considerable weight, since he chaired the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the 1991 Gulf War and later helped make the case for the 2003 invasion of Iraq as President George W. Bush’s secretary of state.
In the wake of its latest nuclear test, Pyongyang has reportedly increased its uranium enrichment and could have enough radioactive material for roughly 20 bombs by the end of the year.
North Korea conducted its first nuclear test in 2006. While the yield of that first test was estimated to be less than one kiloton, the DPRK has made significant advancements over the last ten years. Last week’s test was the fifth and is believed to have measured 30 kilotons, twice the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
While the scope of Pyongyang’s nuclear activities is impossible to know for sure, a new assessment by weapons experts estimates that, in addition to the North’s existing plutonium stockpile, increased uranium production could give the DPRK as many as 20 nuclear bombs by the end of the year.
According to the report, posted to 38 North, experts believe that the increased production, coupled with the North’s bountiful uranium deposits, has likely given the country roughly 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of weapons-grade uranium per year, enough to make seven nuclear weapons. The experts also predict that North Korea has the ability to mount these nuclear devices to missiles.
North Korea has once again showed its fixation on developing combat-ready nuclear weapons — a goal leader Kim Jong Un seems to consider the solution to the country’s military, diplomatic and domestic troubles.
Pyongyang said Friday that it had successfully detonated a nuclear warhead for the first time. The latest nuclear test, North Korea’s fifth, follows just eight months after the previous one in January. South Korean authorities believe Friday’s detonation was the North’s biggest to date.
The United Nations Security Council was to hold an emergency meeting at U.N. headquarters in New York Friday afternoon. The body is expected to discuss issuing a statement condemning the test, as well as the possibility of harsher sanctions on Pyongyang.
North Korea will now be able to “produce at will and as many as it wants a variety of smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear warheads of higher strike power,” the country said in a statement released Friday.
If this is true, North Korea has made strategically significant progress, South Korean Defense Minister Han Min-koo said, suggesting Pyongyang was one step closer to deploying the weapons. | weapons_science |

The US realizes the need for 'symmetric military capability' in accordance to North Korea's nuke and missile development, and the Donald Manzullo, the US Representatives, and Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, stated that in order to deter North Korea's threats and provocations, missile range needs to be extended to cover all of the North Korean theatre.
According to the ROK-US missile guidelines, the ROK has a ballistic missile range of less than 300km.
North Korea has fired 3 long-range missiles with range assumed to reach 4,000km, and No-Dong missiles that has range of 1,300km is already deployed in action.
Moreover, after Kim Jong-Un came to power, North Korea's threats and provocations against the ROK has intensified.
At the current situation in the Korean peninsula, missile range less than 300km is unrealistic.
We hope the two countries can come to an agreement that allows the effective deterrence of North Korea's ruthless provocations.
I think that is why the US Missile Defense Agency is working on the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). The BMDS integrates sensor (radar, IR) capabilities from several existing anti Ballistic Missile Systems (such as GMD, Patriot, THAAD, Aegis) so the coverage extends all over key threats such as North Korea.

Axes have been around for centuries and different styles have evolved over time. An axe head is a tool that is used to chop wood, dig holes, split logs, shape objects and more. In this article, we will explore the various types of axe heads available as well as their advantages and disadvantages so you can make an informed choice about which type is best for your needs.
The cutter mattock axe head is one of the most common types of axes and it has a wide range of uses. It features a pick end to help break up rocky ground and an adze end for digging trenches or shaping wood. Its design makes it ideal for general tasks such as splitting logs, cutting firewood or chopping down small trees. The downside of this type of axe head is that it may not be suitable for more specific tasks such as shaping intricate objects.
Hudson Bay Axe
The Hudson Bay Axe is a classic tool used by woodworkers, lumberjacks, and outdoorsmen alike. This type of axe head features an elongated oval shape with a convex curve at the cutting edge. The blade of this axe is typically thinner than other types, making it ideal for precision work. Not only does the shape of this axe make it easier to control, but it also provides a larger surface area for chopping wood.
The Hudson Bay Axe is great for shaping and sculpting pieces of wood. Its thin blade cuts cleanly through logs without leaving large chunks behind like some other types of axes would. This type of axe head works well on both hardwoods and softwoods, making it a versatile tool.
Double Bit Axe
Double bit axe heads are distinguished by two separate blades, or “bits,” that can be used for cutting or chopping. The double bit design offers several advantages over single bit axes, including a longer edge and greater balance. The double bits also allow you to alternate between using the same side of the blade or switch from one side to the other as you work, which can be beneficial when attempting to balance the axe’s stroke and reduce fatigue.
Double bit axes are most commonly used for cutting trees and logs into smaller sizes. By having two sharpened blades instead of one, they offer more precision and a better chance at making even cuts in both directions. Additionally, double bit axes are lighter than single bits.
The most common type of axe is the felling axe, which usually consists of a long handle with an axe head attached to one end. Felling axes are used for chopping down trees and other large objects. The blade is usually straight or slightly beveled on one side, and designed to easily cut through wood. The weight of a felling axe ensures that it can chop through large objects with minimal effort, while also providing balance when swinging.
The Dayton Axe is a classic style of axe head that features a flat blade and a low profile. This type of axe has been used for centuries, and it’s still popular today. The wide blade makes it great for chopping wood and clearing brush, while the low profile ensures that you don’t chop into the ground too deep when using it. It’s also a great axe for splitting logs because it has more power when compared to other axe heads. The Dayton Axe is available in different sizes, so you can choose the perfect one for your needs. If you’re looking for an axe that will get the job done and last a long time, then consider getting a Dayton Axe. It’s sure to be worth every penny!
Michigan axe heads are suitable for chopping and splitting logs. They’re relatively large, and typically have a flat-faced head with a thin bit near the cutting edge. Michigan axe heads come in two standard shapes: convex and concave. The convex shape is designed to provide more force when striking a log, while the concave shape is better suited for making deeper, even cuts. Both of these axe shapes are available in different sizes and weights depending on the type of work you’re doing.
A Jersey axe head is a type of axe head that is designed for use in confined spaces. The shape of the axe head allows it to fit into tight spaces and reduce the risk of hitting something unintended. It has a straight cutting edge which makes chopping wood an easy task, while its curved blade can be used for splitting logs or cleansing them from bark. This type of axe head is ideal for use in cramped work areas, such as in a woodshed or garage. When using a Jersey axe head, it’s important to be aware of the shape and size of the handle since handles come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the task they are intended for. Additionally, it’s also important to pay attention to the weight of the axe head since heavier ones are more difficult to use but can provide greater force.
Swamper’s axes are the most popular type of axe head. They are best suited for cutting small trees, chopping through brush and clearing land. The swamper’s axe has a wide blade that is held at an angle to the handle in order to create maximum force when chopping. Swamper’s axes feature a long handle which allows users to chop with greater force.
Forest axe heads are the most common type of axe head, and they come in a variety of sizes and shapes suited for different tasks. They typically have two cutting edges – one curved edge for chopping and one straight edge for splitting wood. When looking for a forest axe head, make sure to choose a size that is appropriate for the job you intend to use it for. For example, if you are cutting down trees or chopping logs, you will want a larger axe head that can easily penetrate deeper into the wood. If you are just needing to split kindling, then a smaller axe head should suffice. It’s also important to consider the weight of the axe head – lighter heads are better for more controlled and precise work, whereas heavier.
The Pulaski axe head is a combination of an axe and a mattock in one tool. It has a cutting blade on one side and a small hoe-like adze on the other, making it perfect for digging, chopping, and removing roots and stumps. The blade is curved for easy slicing and splitting while the adze is flat and can be used for a variety of tasks. The combination makes it an excellent choice for anyone who needs to dig out stumps or break up dense soil. It is also useful in wilderness firefighting and search and rescue operations, as well as being popular with campers, backpackers, and other outdoor enthusiasts.
The Boy’s Axe is the most common type of axe head and features a wide range of sizes. It has a single bevel blade that is suitable for both chopping and splitting wood. The angle of the blade makes it easier to control, making it ideal for beginners. This type of axe can also be used to cut branches, chop logs, trim trees, and more.
Carpenter’s axes are used for a variety of cutting, shaping, and splitting tasks. They are usually smaller than felling axes, but have larger heads to handle bigger pieces of wood. Carpenter’s axe heads come in three main types:
- Single Bevel Axes – A single bevel axe has one sharpened side and one flat side. This makes them excellent for precision cutting, such as for dovetail joints and other woodworking tasks.
- Double Bevel Axes – As the name suggests, double bevel axes have two sharpened sides to make cutting on both sides of a piece of wood easier. They are also commonly used for chopping small logs into firewood.
- Broad Axe – Broad axes have a wide, flat blade that is used for hewing logs into rough shapes and making joints. They also excel at trimming away excess wood or material on large projects.
The shingling hatchet is a type of axe head typically used for the installation and repair of roof shingles. It has a curved blade with an ergonomic handle that makes it easier to maneuver when working on angled surfaces. The blade has two different edges – one for cutting nails and the other for trimming wood. For maximum performance, use a sharpening stone to keep your shingling hatchet blade sharp.
Hewing axe heads are made of one single piece of heavy metal and are designed for shaping logs into beams, planks, and other timber components. This type of axe head has a wide, straight cutting edge with relatively little curvature. Hewing axes come in various sizes to meet the needs of different woodworking projects.
Crash axe heads are the most common type of axe head and have a single, sharpened beveled edge on one side and an ax blade with a curved or convex cutting edge. The backside is left unsharpened for balance when thrown or used as a hammer. Crash axe heads are usually made from high-carbon steel and can have either a natural or painted finish. They are often found in survival kits, firefighting equipment, and camping gear.
These types of axe heads are very versatile and can be used for a variety of tasks such as splitting logs, chopping down trees, and even self-defense. The sharpened single edge makes it easier to control the power when striking an object and is less likely.
Adze axe heads are a type of axe head with a curved blade that is used for trimming, smoothing and shaping wood. Adzes come in various sizes and shapes, making them suitable for both smaller and larger carpentry projects. The adze axe head has an arched blade that enables the user to make fine cuts against the grain of the wood. The most common type of adze is the flat-blade adze, which is typically used for carving out hollows and grooves in wood. Adzes are also great tools for splitting thicker pieces of timber into thinner planks.
Tactical axe heads are those designed mainly for combat. They are much heavier than other types of axe head and feature thicker blades that can penetrate armor and heavy materials. The handle on a tactical axe head is typically very long, allowing the wielder to get extra leverage when striking their target. The weight of these axes also makes them ideal for throwing at targets from a distance and penetrating armor or other defensive materials.
Some tactical axe heads come with different blade types, such as a curved blade or a hammer head. This allows the user to customize their axe depending on what type of target they are up against. The handle is usually covered in a thick rubber grip for better control and comfort during use.
Viking axe heads were made from iron or steel with the intention of being used as a tool and weapon. They typically feature a long, thin blade that is curved at the end to create a hook-like shape. The blade is usually wide enough to be effective for cutting but not so sharp that it would injure its user. Viking axes usually featured a thick handle, which was sometimes made from wood but more often crafted from iron or steel. The handle provided balance and leverage when swinging the axe.
Viking axes were useful for cutting down trees, splitting logs, and even as a weapon in battle. They were also used to craft items such as furniture and tools. Viking axes are still beloved by many today for their unique look and history. If you’re looking for an axe with historical significance, the Viking axe is a great choice.
Throwing axe heads are one of the most popular types of axes for those looking to use them in a competitive environment. Throwing axe heads usually have an aerodynamic shape, with a thinner blade that is designed to be thrown accurately. The blades may also have grooves or dimples on them to further enhance their throwing capability. As the name suggests, these are usually used in axe throwing competitions.
The tomahawk is a type of axe head traditionally associated with the Native American culture. The tomahawk’s design allows it to be used for chopping, piercing and throwing. It typically has a long wooden handle with a sharp steel blade at one end, and often decorated with feathers or colorful beads.
A splitting maul is a type of axe specially designed for chopping and splitting logs. It usually has a heavy, tapered blade with a wide, flat cutting edge that goes all the way through the handle. The head is typically made from high-grade steel and features a large poll (or top) with long, curved claws that help secure it in place while splitting. The handle has a straight, ergonomic design that provides maximum power and control over the whole motion. Splitting mauls are great tools for anyone who needs to quickly and easily split logs into firewood.
A splitting axe is designed for splitting wood in two with a single blow. It has a long, slim handle and a heavy, wedge-shaped head that’s kept sharp on both sides for maximum efficiency. When swinging this type of axe it’s important to keep the head flush against the grain of the wood to get an even split.
Miner’s Axes are the most common type of axe head found on the market today. These axes are typically designed for general-purpose use and feature a flat blade, which is suitable for chopping wood. The design is simple yet effective and allows you to get your tasks done quickly and with minimal effort.
The handle of a miner’s axe is usually made from hardwood, although some models feature an ergonomic handle for improved comfort and control. They are also designed to be lightweight, making them easy to carry around with you while working.
The Shepherd’s Axe, also known as the Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe, is a classic design that has been around for centuries. It has a relatively small head and short handle, making it perfect for smaller jobs such as carving and whittling or breaking up logs into kindling. It’s great for all sorts of bushcraft tasks and it is possible to sharpen the edge of a Shepherd’s Axe on a stone.
The axe head is made from high-grade Swedish steel, making it strong and durable. The handle is usually made from hickory or ash, providing a good grip even when wet. As well as being lightweight and easy to carry in your backpack, the Shepherd’s Axe is also great for limbing trees and doing fine carving work.
Axe Parts and Terms
Before we dive into the types of axe heads, let’s get familiar with some key parts and terms related to axes.
The handle is the most obvious part of an axe and it comes in different materials such as wood, metal or plastic. The length and weight of a handle will vary depending on the type of axe head attached to the end.
The head is the business end of an axe that does all the chopping and cutting work. It typically consists of two parts – the “bit” (the sharpened steel edge) and the “poll” (the blunt side). The bit should always be kept sharp in order to make clean cuts, while the poll can be used for splitting, pounding, and other non-cutting tasks.
The eye is the hole at the center of an axe head where you attach a handle. It’s important that the handle fits securely into this opening so it won’t come off during use.
The “beard” is the downward curving bit of metal near the poll. It’s designed to help you get a better grip on the axe when using it and also adds weight which helps with the momentum of swing.
What are axe heads?
Axe heads are the blade-like metal components of an axe that are attached to the handle. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, which allow for different uses depending on the task at hand.
What are the different types of axe edges?
Axe edges can come in two varieties: single-bit and double-bit. Single-bit has a single edge, while double-bit has two edges that are spaced apart from each other.
What is a Finnish axe?
A Finnish axe is a type of single-bit axe that has a narrow, curved cutting edge and a wide forward sweep. This design gives it exceptional chopping and slicing power, making it ideal for felling trees and other heavy-duty woodworking tasks.
What are tomahawk axes?
Tomahawk axes are lightweight, single-bit axes with a short handle and a sharpened, curved blade. They are typically used for throwing, hammering, wedging and chopping.
What are Viking axes called?
Viking axes are typically referred to as bearded axes due to their long, curved cutting edges. The handle of a Viking axe can be short or full-length, depending on the task at hand.
Is a tomahawk a T Bone?
No, a tomahawk is not the same as a T bone. Tomahawks are single-bit axes with a curved blade and short handle, while T bones are double-bit axes with two parallel cutting edges.
Why do Vikings use axes?
Vikings used axes for a variety of tasks, including felling trees and chopping wood. They were also used in battle as a weapon, thanks to their sharp edges and strong construction.
Useful Video: Axe Types
At the end of the day different types of axe heads serve purposes. While hatchets great for chopping small pieces of wood or clearing out plants, felling axes are much better suited to chopping down large trees. On the other hand, splitting mauls are designed specifically for splitting logs along its grain lines. When buying an axe head, it’s important to consider the specific task at hand, as well your own strength and abilities. Taking these factors into consideration will help you choose the right type of axe head for the job.
We hope this article has helped you understand what types of axe heads are available and how they differ from each other. With a better understanding of these tools, you can make an informed decision and purchase the best axe head for your needs. Good luck! | weapons_science |

Grable is notable for being the first time a nuclear test was performed using an atomic bomb encased in a shell that was shot out of a piece of artillery. The thinking at the time was that such a weapon was needed to assure more accuracy in neutralizing an advancing Soviet army than could be achieved from an airborne delivery where an errant drop would have been disastrous. Of course, never mind that the poor understanding in those days of what was an acceptable dose of radiation would have also eventually neutralized the Allied forces that would have been ordered to march right into the blast area to “clean up” any remaining Warsaw Pact troops…which would then have left western Europe wide open for a second wave from the massive Red Army…which would then have left the USA no choice but to start bombing Russian cities…which would then have caused most of us to not be here now and those that did

WASHINGTON: China has tested a new space capability with a hypersonic missile, the Financial Times reported.
The report, citing multiple sources familiar with the test, said Beijing in August launched a nuclear-capable missile that circled the Earth at low orbit before descending toward its target, which three sources said it missed by over 20 miles (32 kilometres).
FT sources said the hypersonic glide vehicle was carried by a Long March rocket, launches of which it usually announces, though the August test was kept under wraps. The report added that China’s progress on hypersonic weapons “caught US intelligence by surprise.”

No modifications to the gun are necessary. These trigger extensions clamp directly onto any trigger from .23 to .375 inches thick, allowing the trigger to be pulled from outside of the guard. They're perfect for quadriplegics or anyone with limited hand function. They are also useful for firearm testing when the gun needs to be fired with the least amount of disturbance to it as possible (we use them for testing muzzle brakes).
They can be mounted on the right or left side. The handle is 2-1/4 inches long and can be rotated 360 degrees into any position. We can make a handle specific to your needs if required.
These are not painted. They are blued to a near black hue to match most firearm finishes.
Disclaimer: This should go without saying, however, all firearms are dangerous. Locating the firing point outside of the trigger guard makes safe handling practices even more important. Never install our trigger extensions or any other modification while the firearm is loaded. Never transport or pass a loaded firearm. Only load the firearm when ready to shoot. Extra care should also be taken with bolt actions. Be mindful not to hit the extension as you close the bolt. We are not responsible for any accidental discharges. I have personally used one on a .270 bolt action for more than 10 years and have never had an accidental discharge, but it would be very easy to do without proper focus and safety practices.

The latter was landed during her refit between November 1941 and April 1942 at New York City, along with the .5-inch machine guns and Type 279 radar, while a quadruple 2 pdr replaced the 4-inch gun and eleven single 20 mm guns were fitted. Black Prince was loaned to the RNZN after the war and was operational briefly in 1947 before part of her crew mutinied and were discharged, and after a 1952 refit with 8 single Mk3P 40mm which were electric powered, like the RN Mk 9 and 6 single Oerlikon and operated till 1955, which included a visit to the 1953 Fleet Review at Spithead. 22nd Joined Russian Convoy JW57 as Flagship of escort with HM Escort Aircraft Carrier CHASER.

Packing an awesome punch, Cold Steel's Triple Action proves that the power and strength of a formidable cutting tool doesn't require a folding knife with the weight of an anvil. Closing to a length of only 5 inches and weighing only 3.6 ounces, the Triple Action Folding Knife is a dynamite innovation.
A super-tough blade of VG-1 stainless steel provides superb cutting ability in the world's finest combination of blade strength and flexibility. The aircraft grade aluminum handle (roll engraved with a distinctive pattern) gives the Triple Action an exceptional look, and the pocket clip makes it easy to carry. Cold Steel's Triple Action Folder is among the safest knives you can carry. When closed, the blade is totally encapsulated by the locking cover, and when open the solid aluminum construction and heavy duty lock prevent the blade from closing. So, the Triple Action Folder is as strong as (or possibly even stronger than) a butterfly knife while also being legal to carry in most states where the butterfly is banned.
Even when closed, the Triple Action Folder is a force to be reckoned with. Its solid construction makes it very stiff, strong, and unyielding in tough situations, giving its user confidence in its effectiveness and eliminating any fear of breaking the knife. Remarkably well suited for use as an impact weapon to attack an opponent's nerve centers and repel or subdue an assailant, the closed Triple Action serves admirably as an improvised "Yawara" stick. Because it is extremely thin and flat, the hand encircles it comfortably and completely, promoting a very secure grip which will allow the striking of powerful blows.
|Length open||9 1/8"|
|Blade thickness||1/8" (3mm)|
More about VG-1 Stainless steel:
When considering a new material for a performance upgrade for their famous Tanto, Cold Steel tested seven different grades of steel including Shiro 2, V-SP-2, 10A, 440C, VG-10, ATS 34, and VG-1. Physical testing for sharpness, edge retention, point strength, shock, and ultimate blade strength showed that while many of the steels had increased performance in one or two testing categories, only one, VG-1, showed the greatest performance increases in the most critical categories. With an outstanding ability to retain an edge and proven strength in point and blade tests, VG-1 will provide Cold Steel customers with superior performance previously unavailable in a stainless steel blade. | weapons_science |

Some people protested against the arms race; others demonstrated against the vast amounts being spent on weapons. However, the most common feelings were helplessness and fear. The American public wondered whether a nuclear attack could happen at any time. Some even built nuclear fallout shelters.

WW I to 1939
The concept of Schlachtflieger was not knew to the Second World War. It originates from WWI.
A development of the reconnaissance role was the dropping of bombs and the strafing of troops. The individual experiences were combined and on the 10th July 1917 an independent Squadron of Bomberwing 1 was for the first time solely committed to the ground attack role. Interrogated prisoners of war pointed especially out the de-moralising effects of low-levels attacks. As a consequence independent Escort squadrons were transformed into the ground attack role, supported by the establishment of a ground attack school.
The Battle of Cambrai in November 1917 saw the first mass-employment of aircraft in this role. This massive air-support coupled with a reorganisation of ground troops employing new tactics lead to a 65 km gap in the frontline and drove the British Fifth Army to the point of disintegration.
The Schlachtstaffeln developed into the most offensive part of the German Air Service and at the end of the war 38 'Schlacht'-squadrons were in existence.
Despite the large impact of this branch, the Schlachtflieger became soon forgotten and even after the reconstruction of the Luftwaffe in 1935, no plans were made for the establishment of ground-attack units.
New insights were gained during the war in Spain as the He 51s were no use any more in the fighter role and were employed in the ground attack role. Nonetheless they were still designated as fighters and used obsolete fighter aircraft in the ground attack role.
Consequently new 'Schlacht'-units were created and a new purpose built Schlachtaircraft was designed, the Hs 129. But the fortunes of the branch changed as the map of Europe up to 1939. The newly created Gruppen were re-equipped with the Ju 87 and trained in a dive-bombing role. The Schlachtgruppen and with them the idea disappeared, all but one.
One issue that has to be addressed about these changing fortunes is the question of attitude and support by the top level towards the Schlachtflieger idea. In WWI German fighter pilots were obsessed by the idea of air-warfare as a fair and knightly business. Ground attack was disliked and despised. The attitude persisted till the end of the war and was not confined to the German side only.
The 'new' Luftwaffe emerging in 1935 was led by Hermann Göring, an ex-fighter pilot. Support to new concept of air-warfare was going to the dive-bomber branch, the Stukas. They were vehemently supported by Ernst Udet, an ex-fighter pilot and the German father of the dive bomber. As a consequence close support had no mentor and was additionally seen as a task that could, given the need arises, be fulfilled by any plane in the inventory, but especially by the Stuka. | weapons_science |

The F-22, produced by Lockheed Martin, is the US' premier fighter jet, boasting stealth technology and specializing in air-to-air combat. It has not yet seen combat.
The US Air Force has strongly denied that this deployment represents a show of force against Iran or is in an way related to a potential strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, the report stated. Instead, the move is part of a route deployment an "security cooperation with regional partners."

Mech-Tech CCU's are not available for Glock sub-compacts.
1 - 1911 FRAME COMPATIBILITY
The 1911 and the Mech Tech CCU have a very strong and easy relationship. Unlike the Glock pistol, which requires different CCU's for large frame and small frame guns, all 1911 pistols can use the same Mech Tech CCU (caliber differences asclasse).
If the length of the frame dustcover does not exceed the Mil-Spec length of a 5" Full Size 1911 by more than 3/8", the length of the 1911 frame dust cover should have no effect on the frame's ability to mate with the CCU. The CCU will accept a Colt New Agent as well as a full size Remington, or Armscor or any other manufacturer's Government Model. A Mechtech CCU will mate with either a single or double stack 1911. We often use the Shooter's Arms double stack 12 shot compact and the Rock Island or Para double stack 14 shot with the CCU. Additionally, the Mechtech CCU when mounted on a 1911 allows the 1911 Hammer Safety to be utilized, which gives the Mech Tech the same level of safety that most rifles have. Extended safeties may present a problem, but all original size safeties function flawlessly. Although, Mech Tech (As stated below) states that ambidextrous safeties will not function, the Shooter's Arms FX Lightweight safeties function fine. When using ambidextrous safeties with the Telestock, the stock must be centered exactly, and partially extended to use the safeties; and then it works fine. The problem may be unsurmountable with some larger extended safeties. Some aftermarket parts may not work, mainly safety levers and triggers.
2 - 1911 NOTES
There is a certain 'juggling' of calibers relative to the CCU Upper of which one may take advantage. The 1911 pistol frame is designed to accept 1911 magazines of several different calibers. The proper magazine for your pistol is of course that for which the slclasse and barrel is designed. The fact that a 1911 magazine of a different caliber will function in the 1911 frame (when the frame is separated from the slide and barrel) allows one to order a CCU chambered for a cartridge different from that of the assembled pistol's frame you plan to use with the CCU Upper. Example: if you have a 1911 which is designed to fire 45 ACP cartridges but you would really like to have a CCU in, say, 10mm. You can then order a 1911 style CCU Upper chambered for the 10mm cartridge and use the frame from your 45 ACP pistol with that CCU. You will need to acquire a 10mm 1911 style magazine and use it only when using the 45 ACP pistol frame with the 10mm CCU. CAUTION: this does not mean that you can use your 1911 pistol to safely fire a cartridge class other than that for which it is designed by simply switching magazines - don't try this - it is dangerous! The barrel and slide of a 1911 pistol is designed for a specific cartrclassge and only that cartrclassge is safe to use when the pistol is assembled. Likewise, a CCU used with a 1911 pistol frame (lower unit) can safely fire only the cartrclassge for which the CCU is designed! This information is provided only to illustrate the flexibility available for 1911 style pistol frame and CCU combinations. Again - your pistol should be used only with the cartridge for which it is designed and a pistol/CCU combination must be used only with the cartridge class for which the CCU Upper is designed. If further clarification is needed contact us directly or Mech-Tech Systems Inc.
Last Round Hold-Open - there is no last round hold-open function on the CCU.
Safety Lever - only the original GI style safety will function.n with the 1911 CCU. Extended and ambidextrous safeties (See above) will not function as a safety but the CCU will function and fire in all other respects.
2A - 1911 Ramped Barrels
Certain 1911 style pistols such as Paraordnance use what is called a Clark Style Barrel and have modified receivers which leave an opening in the magazine well in an area critical to proper feeding when these pistols are used with a CCU. Mech Tech has designed an insert called a 'Para Block' which solves the problem. Frames with 'ramped barrels' can be used with the CCU by installing the 'Parablock'. The photos below illustrate the difference between a 'standard' barrel (left photo) and a 'ramped barrel' (right photo).
3 - 1911 9MM CCU using .45ACP lower
You can use a 1911 45ACP (or 10MM & 40S&W) lower with a 9mm CCU but it may require a change of the ejector on the 1911 lower. On some 1911 lowers a slightly different ejector is used for the 9mm cartrclassge. If the particular lower you want to use with a 9mm CCU causes drag on the CCU bolt then a change in the ejector on your lower will be necessary. This is an easy fix and the 9mm ejector will work fine with 45ACP/10MM/40S&W cartrclassges with the original pistol reassembled.
4 - GLOCK NOTES
Glock C.C.U. Upper is available for the following Glock models:
G17; G17C; G34; G19; G19C; G20; G20C; G21; G21C; G22; G35; G22C; G23; G23C; G31; G32; G32C and the respective 'SF' models - (All Gens)
5 - GLOCK NOTES FRAME SIZES
Glock pistols are made in three basic frame sizes - 'Full Size', 'Compact', and 'Sub Compact'.
MECH TECH UPPERS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR SUB COMPACT GLOCKS
If you own more than one Glock Pistol of the same caliber, but of different frame sizes, check below to see which of the three different CCU's will fit which of your guns.
6 - GLOCK FRAME SIZES AND COMPATIBLE MECH TECH CCU'S
Mechtech uses one housing for the Standard (Full Size) frames and another for
Compact frames. On the Standard frames the slclasse dimensions may be different but the rail
dimensions are same from sclasse to sclasse, or wclassth. What is different on the Standard
frames, that matters with the CCU, is the dust cover length. Mechtech refers to the frame
sizes as Large (20,21), Standard (17,22,31) and Compact (19,23,32).
In the Standard size series there are two dust cover lengths that are compatible with the Mech Tech CCU.
In the Compact size series there is one dust cover length that is compatible with the Mech Tech CCU.
1) STANDARD (Full Size) series are the Models:
A) LARGE (FAT) FRAMES :
G20 (10mm) 15 Rounds
G21 (45ACP) 13 Rounds
B) SMALL (SKINNY) FRAMES :
G17 (9mm) 17 Rounds
G22 (40 SW) 15 Rounds
G31 (357 Sig) 15 Rounds
G34 (9mm Long Slide 17 Rounds
G35 (40 SW Long Slide) 15 Rounds
2) COMPACT (class Size) series are the Models:
C) SMALL (SKINNY) FRAMES:
G19 (9mm) 15 Rounds
G23 (.40S&W) 13 Rounds
G32 (.357 SIG)13 Rounds
7 - GLOCK MAGAZINE INTERCHANGEABILITY WITH A PARTICULAR CCU
A frame separated from the slclasse and barrel will physically accept a magazine of a cartridge different from that for which the assembled pistol is designed (using magazines designed for the same series of frame sizes). Therefore a Glock pistol & CCU combination can be set up to safely fire a cartrclassge different from that for which the assembled pistol is designed.
Example: The frame (lower unit) of a Glock designed to fire the 45 ACP cartrclassge in the assembled pistol can be safely used with a CCU Upper designed to fire the 10mm cartrclassge. This is accomplished by assembly of the 45 ACP Glock frame to the 10mm CCU and the use of a Glock 10mm magazine designed to be used with that series of frame size. This information is provclassed only to illustrate the flexibility of the Mech-Tech CCU.
CAUTION : the foregoing does not imply that a Glock pistol designed for a given cartrclassge can safely shoot a different cartrclassge by simply switching the magazine - this is dangerous - do not try it! Likewise a CCU Upper can safely fire only the cartrclassge for which it is designed!) If further clarification is needed please contact Mech-Tech Systems Inc.
8 - SPRINGFIELD MODELS AVAILABLE
C.C.U. Upper for XD/XD(M) is available for the following calibers:
9mm, 40 S&W, .45 ACP
9 - NOTES FOR CCU's WHICH FIT XD/XD(M)
The CCU's fit only XD 4" Compact Service, 4" Service, 5" Compact Tactical, 5" Tactical and XD(M) 4.5" & 5.25" models. These models also must have 2 or 3 accessory rail slots.
The CCU will NOT work with XD 3" Sub Compact, XD(M) 3.8" Compact, XD(M) 3.8", Mod 2 or XD-S pistol models.
N O T E
Thumb Safety Models
June 1, 2015. Two new models have appeared on the Springfield website. They are the XD 4" Service Model with thumb safety and the XD 5" Tactical model with thumb safety. Since we have not physically examined these yet, we don't know if the thumb safety affects the trigger mechanism in the frame and so might affect the operation with our CCU.
10 - SPRINGFIELD MODELS MAGAZINE INTERCHANGEABILITY
Unlike Glock and 1911 pistols, XD magazines are not interchangeable between frames. This means, for example, that if you have an XD 40S&W pistol, you cannot purchase a CCU made for 9mm and use a 9mm XD magazine. The caliber of the XD pistol, as purchased, is the only caliber of CCU that will function with it.
11 - SPRINGFIELD FEED RAMP
The Feed Ramp is placed in the XD/XDM lower. This item is necessary for proper feeding. The block is not actually attached to the lower - just sits there during assembly of the CCU upper. When the upper is in place the ramp is trapped. A small magnet keeps the ramp in place during assembly/disassembly. One comes with each XD/XD(M) Basic Unit.
12 - .45 SUPER
There is a difference in the regular configuration of the 1911 .45ACP CCU and the .45 Super configuration. Survival Outfitters offers the conversion at no cost when we make up your CCU. Since the external dimensions of the .45ACP case and the .45 Super case are classentical, a CCU properly configured for the 45 Super will handle either round. Many people choose to have their .45 ACP unit .45 Super ready. Any .45 ACP 1911 CCU ordered from us may be ordered configured for handling the 45 Super. Using the more powerful .45 Super takes full advantage of the CCU's potential.
13 - .35 Survivor
Survival Outfitters is currently working on a proprietary cartrclassge that may be fired in properly configured and rebarreled .45ACP guns. We will be offering this special chambering for the Mech Tech CCU. The cartrclassge is based on .45ACP case dimensions with .38 Super length, formed from .308 brass and necked down to 9MM. It will use standard .45ACP magazines. Think of it as a .357 SIG on steroclasss. Rollout date to be announced, and we will begin taking orders at that time. | weapons_science |

Unlike the popular opinion that finding the necessary tools and parts and assembling the gun on your own requires a master’s degree in engineering, the process is actually not that hard.
Looking for everything you need to build a Polymer 80 pistol in one affordable kit?
- Custom G19 Slide Kit in a variety of styles and optional RMR optic cuts
- Premium Nitride Barrel
- Upgraded Upper Parts Kit
- Husky Armory Compact G19 Lower Parts Kit
- Polymer 80 Compact PF940C – 80% Pistol Frame
Required Tools for P80 Build
To build a P80 on your own, you’ll need several tools including:
- Electric drill
- Sandpaper (multiple grits)
- Hand files
- Hand drill
- Needle-nose pliers
- Bench vise (optional)
You’ll have to build up on the firearm frame, adding and adjusting the parts as you go.
The parts you’ll use to build your customized firearm depend on the model, that is, the size of the gun. For instance, if you want to assemble a full-size Glock 17, you should get the PF940v2 kit.
The full P80 build kits contain:
- Slide – it’s important to remember that you can buy a complete slide or a bare one; if you decide to go with the latter, you’ll have to purchase a slide completion kit
- Barrel – matching barrel length for G26, G19, or G17
- Lower Parts Kit – all of the parts that are installed into the frame to make your Polymer 80 functional
- Magazine – again sized for your P80 style
- Glock Hard Case – optional
How hard is it to build a Polymer80?
Not hard if you adhere to our P80 tool list!
If you follow the right direction and work carefully, it’s not so hard to build a P80. Of course, we suggest you spend some time analyzing the parts to get familiar with them and understand their function, as each part, even the smallest one, is important.
Starting off your P80 build with the right tools can make all of the difference.
Here’s a simple guide where you’ll find instructions to build a P80 on your own. The tools needed to build P80 are simple ones, and you probably have them in your home. Moreover, some kits even come with assembling tools, depending on the state, local, and federal laws.
How to build P80
- Insert and secure the frame into the jig. Make sure the frame is fully locked.
- Secure the jig with the bench vise in an upright position. Don’t over-tighten the vise.
- Start removing the polymer from the larger front segment and the centermost section that runs between the two sides of the frame. Use a sanding drum attachment and a rounded file, respectively.
- Drill the holes found on the side of the frame. You should also drill and sand the barrel block.
- Begin the build process by installing the locking block and the slide to the frame.
- Install the magazine catch with needle-nose pliers.
- Build the trigger assembly and then fit it into the frame.
- Install the locking block by pushing it into the frame.
- Fit the slide.
It’s important to mention that your P80 kit will contain several tools needed to build P80, such as various drill bits for drilling trigger mechanism housing, trigger pin hole, etc. If the kit doesn’t include all the tools, you can buy them separately.
Is it legal to build a Polymer80?
Yes, as of now the Polymer 80 is still legal to build.
The ATF published the ATF Final Rule 2021R-05F in the Federal Register on April 26, 2022.
These legal hoops are more related to companies manufacturing and selling Polymer 80’s not necessarily the consumers.
It’s crucial to note that some states have different laws than federal law, which is why you should consult with a professional.
Check out the latest legal rulings on our updates page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are P80s considered a Glock?
Polymer 80 has frames that are based on the Glock pistols Generation 3.
This is why you should get lower and upper parts from Generation 3 if you’re planning to build a P80. In a way, the P80 is considered a Glock clone.
What type of ammo does a Polymer 80 use?
You’ll have no problem loading your P80 since it can use any type of ammunition.
The selection of your ammo is only dependent upon which slide you purchase (as long as its compatible with the P80 frame).
We reached the end of this article. Now you have an idea of how to assemble your own gun as well as the tools needed to build P80.
Whether you buy each part separately or purchase already-assembled parts and insert them into a frame, it’s important to be very careful and follow the laws. Read the regulations and consult with licensed manufacturers and gunsmiths to stay on the right side of the law.
Do you have experience with building PMFs? If yes, we would like to hear more about your experience, especially about the tools you used during the process. Leave a comment down below, as your tool kit and experience may help someone build their own firearm. | weapons_science |

President Vladimir Putin spoke on Wednesday of a successful test and a “major success” for the military, which is not only of national importance. The rocket “avant-garde” should be made in the next year in service, announced Putin in Moscow.
“Russia has a new type of strategic weapon.” Thus, the safety of his country shall be ensured in the coming decades, said the Kremlin chief.
According to the Kremlin, the missile was fired on Wednesday from a base in the South of the Urals. There is a target on a test site had been taken in Kamchatka. The distance is about 6000 km. Putin had followed the Test. He said the Intercontinental missile could fly 20 times the speed of sound in the atmosphere.
According to Putin, can not be intercepted this missile defense systems. The Kremlin chief had already presented in the spring, two weeks before the presidential election, a series of new nuclear weapons and allow international concerns triggered. | weapons_science |

Gaining compliance with pistol bullets isn't easy and against multiple assailants the highest capacity mag may not be close to enough and you're likely going to need a second mag.
The twelve gauge is magic at pistol ranges, even with skeet loads, and five or six rds is good against multiple assailants, assuming you get hits. And any rifle is more likely to get hits over any pistol. Pistols are notoriously inaccurate when someone's shooting back at you.
Everyone needs to make their own choices on this, and God bless you all whatever you choose. For me it's the shotgun with #7 Shot, and a pistol in .45 (make and model depends on how I'm feeling). I live in a wood frame house with neighbors at 180 degrees. At 12 ft no one shot with a 12 gauge will notice the difference between 00 Buck and #7 shot.
As for guns going off in houses, I sleep with my weapons and Impact amplified hearing protection beside my bed... which has led to some interesting conversations with "guests". If I need to use any weapon I'll try and put them on, along with eye protection. I've seen the results of wood splinters in eyes from shootings. I have no date but I would bet that we're far more likely to get hit with splinters than bullets in a pistol fight.December 16, 2010 9:59 PM
Thanks EN for your comment, good stuff.
The way I see it the key to not overestimating the stopping power of your handgun is knowing that a) the bad guy wont go down as if hit by some death ray b) You’re not supposed to shoot once and take a look at the results, but keep on shooting fast and accurately until the attacker goes down and is no longer a threat. Fully expect nothing at all to happen when you shoot the bad guy with your handgun, at least not anything obvious and visible. Even when down, if the bad guy is still in the fight, holding his weapon and conscious, keep shooting, since nothing is stopping him from shooting back at you from the floor. If your lucky and the bad guy goes down like a sack of potatoes after the first shot or two then that’s great, just don’t count on that happening.
Even with a close range 12 ga shotgun blast, don’t expect anyone flying through the air. Our instructor told us that in his experience it generally does knock them off their feet at close range, out of brute force, but that’s as far as it gets. It wont send anyone flying through windows and that kind of movie stuff.
For those of us that shoot often its important to take care of our hearing.
Good electronic ear muffs that amplify the ambient noises around you but block the +80db shots do seem to give you an edge in the fight. My only concern is how accurate it is when determining the location of the noise, where the bad guy is located and that split second decision that may save your life or not.
When hunting and such, no doubt, these headsets protect your hearing yet amplifies the noises around you. Also in classes, you can hear instructions and directives well. In some cases, being able to hear may avoid serious injury or death when people are shooting at your side. This is specially true in more advanced shooting training where there’s movement and shooting while working as a team.
Lets say your in combat or even guarding during extraordinary civil unrest situations, headsets such as these Peltor Com-Tac II are a serious advantage. They even allow you to combine it with your radio equipment and helmet.
Right now I’m remembering that man during the aftermath of the earthquake in Chile, he was guarding his property and shot over 2000 shots with his 12ga shotgun. I’d at least want something like these Howard Leight R-01526 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuff for such a situation.
For around 10 bucks, Peltor makes these Combat Arms Earplugs that supposedly allow you to talk and hear ambient sounds yet reduce shots enough to protect your hearing. I'm a bit suspicious though as of how these plugs would achieve such a thing but Peltor is a good brand. Stll, mkaes more sense to spend the extra 30 bucks and get the electronic ones that seem to have good reviews. I'll see if I can find these locally or order them on line and write a review.
Anyone that hangs around shooting clubs and talks to the old guys every now and then knows what happens when you combine guns and poor ear protection. Back in the day it was seen as unmanly to use ear protection, because of that most of these old folks are almost deaf. Don’t make that same mistake. | weapons_science |
https://www.vgassist.com/question/what-are-black-weapons-in-diablo-3/ | 2020-09-18T19:36:20 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00592.warc.gz | 0.954713 | 288 | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-40__0__268532072 | en | Black weapons or black damage are weapons that don’t have any sort of elemental damage.
The reason these weapons matter is due to a bug in how Diablo 3 calculates their damage in conjunction with other items that add elemental damage.
Black weapons are the best type of weapons to have when if you have other items that grant additional % elemental damage. For instance:
- Zunimassa’s Trail – boots with 7% poison damage
- Tal Rasha’s Allegiance – (7% elemental damage)
- Triumvirate – (5%/5%/5% cold/fire/lightning damage)
The bug exists because the extra % added damage is calculated from the non-elemental damage on your weapon. So if you have a black weapon that has 100 physical (black) damage then Tal Rasha’s would give you 7% of 100 the full 100. But if your weapon was 100 damage (25 physical/75 elemental) then Tal Rasha’s 7% bonus would only calculate on the 25 physical/black damage.
In early 2013 Blizzard announced that they would not be fixing this bug on existing items, and that while they would fix it someday, there were no immediate plans to do so. Black weapons were not changed in v1.07, though the bug was removed from the bonus provided by socketing rubies in weapons. | weapons_science |

No experience with the Norinco model M paratrooper that takes AK mags..... But I have had a few outstanding Russian SKSs over the years back when they were cheap. They were reliable with the factory fixed mag, were well build and just plain fun. Think my most expensive one was an unissued Russian for $150 with 500 rounds thrown in. But those days are long gone. They have become less. The SKS in Battlefield 4 had a detachable mag, which I always called BS on. Come to find out, that's a thing in the so-called M model Norinco SKS. There's one locally for sale for one-thousand dollars. 16 barrel. Not a typo. I know things are crazy, but my Tula cost me one-hundred and seventy-five dollars back in the day I have a Norinco SKS-M. I have to agree with most of the posters. I'd rather have an AK. The SKS-M isn't a bad rifle, it's just not I really wanted when I got it. If you're talking SKS-D with the 20 barrel, then the choice for me gets a little tougher. jmm grimjaw, Aug 11, 2006 #8. possum Member.

Washington , 10 Feb -The US has discussed a potential missile defence collaboration with India, a top Pentagon official has said, underlining that Washington wants to build a “much deeper and broader relationship” with New Delhi.
Under Secretary of Defence for Policy John Rood, however, said that it is early to determine how far India, which already has substantial domestic missile defence capabilities, will go regarding the defence collaboration.
“We have talked to the Indians about missile defence as potentially an area as well to collaborate on. It”s early days to determine how far that will go,” Mr Rood said speaking at a think-tank in Washington on Thursday.
In 2018, the US granted India Strategic Trade Authorisation-1 (STA-1) status. India is the only South Asian country to get STA1 status and third Asian country after Japan and South Korea. The status eases India”s defence procurement from the US.
Last year, India and the US signed the COMCASA (Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement) to facilitate interoperability between the two militaries and sale of high end technology. | weapons_science |

Within the video it shows in specific detail Mass Effect: Andromeda’s, “fluid, fast paced third person combat,” as well as what the Ryder twins are capable of unleashing within that combat phase.
Weapons fall into three tech types:
Milky way: High impact weapons which use physical projectile ammunition, effective against most common enemies, however they tend to run out of ammo quite quickly.
Remnant : Beam weapons that have a high rate of fire and are extremely accurate, they never run out of ammo although they are prone to overheating which would then require a cool-down period.
Helios: A Heat seeking plasma based weapon which is slower than other firearms but hits heavily. Some Helios weapons can be charged up which helps them deliver incredible damage.
Melee weapons come in many different forms, showcased is the access to hammers which deliver heavy maximum damage, or swords which deliver incredible speed and precision, helping you get in and out of danger. Sticky grenades prove to be effective against anything, although your supplies are limited, so only use them in sticky situations.
Like weapons, skills are also broken into three categories:
Combat: Focuses on weapon damage and accuracy, as well as strengthening gear to help make your character the ultimate soldier. This skill opens up the ability to use grenades, trip mines and flat cannons.
Tech: This skill set focuses on strategic weapons and skills, it also opens up the ability to use beam weapons and flamethrowers with a more offensive punch. Unique abilities called Invasion and Energy Drain will also be opened up via this skill set and are used to weaken your opponents. If that’s not enough, the tech skill also allows you to deploy an assault turret.
Biotics: Biotics allows you to control dark energy and harness mass and gravity. It gives you the ability to pull enemies to you and use them as a shield or throwing weapon, it also allows you throw black holes that disrupt and hold enemies while it slowly eats away at their health.
Skills can be upgraded to be made more lethal.
As you may have seen in previous trailers, the Jump Jet plays a vital role in combat and is key to surviving battles. It provides amazing freedom of movement and allows you to evade with ease, both on ground and in mid air. It’s also the key item which helps you to hover and jump.
Mass Effect: Andromeda will also include a new dynamic cover system which allows you to take cover around anything, even your own vehicle.
Enemies have different behaviours and act in different ways, some will keep distance and try to snipe you while most will charge and try to flush you out of cover. Enemies also possess different strengths and weaknesses. Head shots do maximum damage to most lesser enemies, however its the health bars that require most attention, that way you know what type of enemy you’re dealing with.
Yellow health bars indicate the enemy has armour, which means certain weapons and powers need to be used in order to defeat them more quickly.
Blue health bars mean their shielded and they are resistant to Biotics, however they need to be taken down quickly or the shield will regenerate.
If things seem to get heated you can also turn the tide by using the Tactical Cloak made available through the tech skill option which allows you go invisible while you pick off enemies.
If shields and heavily armoured enemies prove to be a pain you can unleash another powerful tech skill called Overload that brings down shielded and synthetic enemies more quickly, however if you want to bring down several shielded enemies at the same time then hold down the attack to chain.
Bioware announced within the gameplay video that part two of the series will cover profiles, squad skills, commands and favourites. Favourites allow immediate access to your sets of powers while embarked on a mission, so you can switch around your skills to increase the chances of completing your tasks. | weapons_science |

- What is the Game Vector?
The Game Vector is a Game Recovery System designed to assist the bowhunter in the recovery of mortally wounded game. It is not intended to replace traditional tracking methods.
Read more about Game Vector featured at the 2014 Bowhunter Roundtable; link to full article in Sept-2014 Arrow Trade magazine; Arrow Trade Special Report.
- How does the Game Vector work?
Upon impact the HideRider™ transmitter, with its patent pending design, is released from the arrow and the transmitter is turned on. Its signal can be picked up through the Game Vector directional receiver which directs the hunter to the downed game.
- Where does the Game Vector attach?
The Game Vector transmitter, called the HideRider™, attaches directly behind the broadhead on the arrow shaft.
- Can my hunting buddy and I share a Game Vector receiver?
Yes, the Game Vector receiver can be shared. Hunting clubs and outfitters can purchase a receiver to be used by multiple hunters.
- Will the HideRider™ transmitter affect the arrow flight?
Click here to view a demonstration video showing there is no impact on arrow flight. It of course adds a small amount of weight to the arrow thus making the arrow drop at long distance. Click here to read an independent study on the HideRider’s impact on arrow flight.
- Will my bow sights need to be adjusted for the Game Vector?
No adjustment is normally needed for common bow hunting range. One should be sure and shoot the practice capsules to assure accuracy before hunting.
- Does the HideRider™ stay attached to the arrow?
No, upon impact the HideRider™ attaches itself to the animal and detaches from the arrow.
- What is the range of the Game Vector?
RF radio waves are effected by terrain and other conditions so distance will vary somewhat. The game can lie on the transmitter reducing distance as well. The range can be up to two miles in optimal conditions. However, in hunting conditions the range is typically a few hundred yards.
- Can the HideRider™ transmitter be reused?
The HideRider™ can be reused if not damaged. The Battery is also replaceable.
- What kind of broadhead can I use?
You may use your choice of broadheads, including expandables.
- Can you get a replacement HideRider™ with the Game Vector System?
Yes, the HideRider™ transmitters can be purchased separately.
- What is the battery life of the HideRider™?
The HideRider™ battery life is 48 to 72 hours after the shot and extra batteries can be purchased from your dealer or on our web site.
- What happens if the shot is not a mortally wounding shot?
The HideRider™ will eventually fall off of the animals hide with no harm to the animal.
- Can the HideRider™ be used with a crossbow?
FUTURE Product – Game Vector is developing a model for Crossbows. When introduced, the Crossbow HideRider™ will fit all bolt sizes and types. The retention system being developed for the Crossbow HideRider™ will be designed for the higher bolt speeds and faster acceleration.
*** The current model HideRider™ is designed only for vertical bows. Although the vertical bow HideRider™ may fit crossbow bolts, the faster acceleration when shot from a crossbow may cause it to prematurely detach from the bolt. Using the vertical bow HideRider™ with a crossbow is not recommended and will void the product warranty. | weapons_science |

By Joanna Nicholas
Introducing the latest pistol from Springfield Armory -- The XD MOD.2. This pistol appears new and different externally but at first touch has that intimate and familiar XD feel. If you have ever used an XD series pistol in the past you will instantly feel right at home with the new more comfortable grip. Upon using the pistol, it will be come apparent that meaningful upgrades were made not just cosmetic changes. PDF XD MOD.2
This is essentially the 15th anniversary of the basic XD design. Originally known as the HS2000pistols were first imported into the U.S. starting late 1999 and early 2000. By the end of 2001 Springfield Armory had become the sole importer of the platform that had then been renamed the XD pistol. During this short time early in the platforms life many changes had occurred fine-tuning the ascetics of the pistol. By the time Springfield Armory took over the pistol, its design been though 4 generations giving us the XD pistol that we know now.
The XD MOD.2 comes in a newly designed case, thats not quite as robust as the Pelican style versions from the last couple of years. The good news is that Springfield has decided to continue to give customers the "Extras" kit that includes a holster, magazine pouch and magazine loader. These photos are springfield promotional photos and I do not think that the MOD.2 comes with three magazines. The kit I received came with one flush mount 13 round magazine and one 16 round extended magazine. The MOD.2 uses the same magazines as the Classic XD pistols that are readily available.
The XD MOD.2 is a model 2 version of the classic XD subcompact pistol. Internally both pistols share 98% of the same parts and are interchangeable. Externally the list of Improvements start with the sights. The XD MOD.2 comes with the same fiber optic front sight as the XDS. Inside of the pistols box is a baggie with extra green & red fiber optic rods. The rear sight is the same one that comes with the XDM pistol. Since this first MOD.2 is a subcompact pistol, utilizing the longer XDM rear sight buys you almost a 1/4 inch of sight radius. Both faces of the sights feature serrations that should help cut down with glare.
Even though the MOD.2 is different it still can use current XD grip accessories. The MOD.2 kit comes with two magazines a Flush mount and extended magazine. The extended magazine gives you 16 rounds in the 9mm version and 12 rounds in the 40S&W version. My hands are just big enough that my pinky finger will fall off the bottom of the flush fit magazine or awkwardly rest right on the lip. It is because of this it is my personal preference is to use some type of extension it just makes the pistol more comfortable to shoot. As you can see the Pearce Grip model PG-XD standard grip extension for the classic XD fits just fine with the new MOD.2.
The MOD.2 features more aggressive take down and slide stop levers for increased ease of use. The new 3D levers actually give you increased leverage and purchase making reloads and field striping a simple task.
Taking a look at the trigger guard we see two popular aftermarket modifications that are now standard. The area behind the trigger on the top finger groove of the trigger guard has been raised allowing for a slightly higher and more comfortable grip. The front of the trigger guard has been rounded off, they say it helps with snagging. Trigger guard hooks were all the rage in the 80's and since had become standard equipment on "combat" type pistols. The theory was that you could hook your support hand first finger on the hook to help hold the nose of the pistol down while shooting. What was in vogue back them is now just an unneeded carry over that can get in the way of things.
Springfield Armory Calls the grip "The Grip Zone". What this entails are three different texture zones with different levels of aggressiveness. Springfield tells me that they went though a lot of effort to make sure that they maximized the effectiveness of the grip for optimal performance. On the front strap you will notice the new addition of finger groves. These are useful but do not get in the way or make for an uncomfortable grip. There are other brands of pistols that one repeated complaint is that the finger groves can interfere with a proper grip. Springfield unlike other brands did not add to the circumference of the grip to add finger groves. Notice my picture of the MOD.2 with the blue line. That blue line represents were the front strap was with the classic XD's. What they did was cut into the frame slightly reducing the grip radius. Just that little bit makes a world of difference and just feels good in the hand. Add in the new texturing and it is easy to have a solid grip even with small hands and become one with the pistol. To quote my my wife "it felt like a good comfortable grip without having to stretch my hand". "It had a nice texture that provided grip without being rough or sharp"
Looking at either side of the frame you will notice a more pronounced and angled finger grove. Were before the classic XD's had a simple oval indentation on the side of the frame which was nice when your trigger finger pointed strait forward but did not help when you actually needed to reach the trigger. The new MOD.2 finger indentation is deeper and allows for your finger to point forward when off the trigger, but is also angled on the bottom. The bottom angle allows you to actually reach the trigger again by reducing the grip radius in the area you need it. When you look at it it just makes sense put the indentation were your finger is when you actually need to pull the trigger...duh.
The back strap features the new more aggressive texturing zones for better purchase. The new MOD.2 also features a "high-hand beavertail" that is slightly higher and re-contoured allowing you to get the web of your hand even higher into the back of the pistol than before.
Moving onto the back of the slide you will notice why the back of the XD now looks like an XDM. They playfully incorporated both slide shapes in such a way to add a rear scallop. This new scallop acts just like a slide racker would on a competition pistol. It is just enough "meat" for your finger to get ahold of and rack the slide with more authority if needed. It does not matter if your hands are sweaty or dry it is now easier to manipulate slide.
The after market Pearce grip fits remarkably well and nicely matches the zone 3 light texting of the frame. The grip also fits the contours of the grip nicely and looks like it could be an OEM item. In my opinion this is a must for subcompact type pistols.The Factory extension is a disappointment though. While it is functional it is now ascetically unpleasing. Springfield spent such effort into making up the different texture zones that it seems like they dropped the ball when it came to the magazine extension. They used the same extension that is used for the classic XD's. The older grip extension does not match the textures or look of the new pistol. If you look closely the the pictures you will also notice that along the front strap with the extension it does not fully follow the same contours. This slight off set can be annoying. I like combining old with new just not in this case.
Change is tough especially after 15 years, what you have grown to love suddenly becomes different. But change is not necessarily bad, especially when they make a gun that I already loved even better. You take a look at each new feature and realize that someone sat down and stole my thoughts on what it would take to make a good gun even better. While some my criticize that these are only cosmetic upgrades, which they are. You really need to feel it, hold it and caress it to find out that Springfield and HS Produkt really have something special here. | weapons_science |

Taiwan’s defence ministry announced on Friday, that multiple Chinese ships and planes had once again crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which separates the two countries. Calling the military exercises “highly provocative,” the defence ministry states that it had dispatched aircraft and ships and deployed land based missile systems in response to the situation.
Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida condemned China’s largest live-fire exercise in the region, calling it a “serious problem that impacts our national security and the safety of our citizens,” after 5 ballistic missiles launched by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) landed in Japan’s exclusive economic zone
What are live-fire exercises?
They are exercises primarily used by military personnel, in which live ammunition is used to create training conditions that are as close to real combat scenarios as possible. Live-fire exercises are also used by law enforcement and firefighters as a form of field training, to train them to act calmly in real-life emergency situations in the future.
During live-fire training, soldiers are placed in simulated combat situations and are given the opportunity to use their weapons and equipment (like ships, aircraft, tanks and drones). Such exercises are invaluable in maintaining combat readiness of troops, the cohesiveness of units, and instilling confidence in their ability to use their weapons and equipment correctly.
It also involves testing the effectiveness of vehicles, weapon platforms and weapons systems (such as intercontinental ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, anti-aircraft weapons), so that any design flaws can be resolved before the weapons are fully operational.
As we see in the recent case in the Taiwan Strait, live-fire exercises allow countries to brandish their military prowess and capacity for destruction. As the Associated Press notes, the drills involving warplanes, ships and missiles are designed to show the level of lethal force that China could unleash on Taiwan, if the country refuses to toe the line set by Beijing.
Have they been done in the region before?
China had previously undertaken a similar show of force during the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis in 1995-1996, when it fired missiles into the waters near Taiwan, after former President Lee Teng-hui visited the US, despite China’s strong objections.
Between July 25-29, the US army resumed its live-fire drills in South Korea after a hiatus of three years, in response to the series of weapons tests undertaken by North Korea this year. The deadly Apache helicopters stationed in South Korea were allowed to fire rockets and guns at the Rodriguez Live Fire Complex, south of the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) that divides North and South Korea. The live-fire exercises had been previously cancelled in 2019 after residents living in the vicinity of the area had complained about noise and raised concerns about safety, as reported by Reuters.
After North Korea launched 8 short-range ballistic missiles on June 5 , the US and South Korea responded in a tit-for-tat fashion, by firing 8 of their own into the sea. | weapons_science |

The order was from Bat Masterson and it was written on stationery from the Long Branch Saloon in Dodge City, Kansas. Uberti has recreated some of these special-order six-shooters that would have been right at home in Dodge City.
The 1873 Cattleman Gunfighter features checkered black grips, matte blued frame and barrel in 4 3/4″, 5 1/2″ or 7 1/2″ lengths. Two of the most popular special orders in the old west were for ivory grips and nickel finish. The 1873 Cattleman Cody is a classic recreation of a special order “frontier six-shooter.” Pearl grips and special metal finishes were also popular and the Cattleman Frisco celebrates these special features.
“God made men, but Sam Colt made them equal,” was an old saying referring to the Colt .45 “Peacemaker.” In 1873, the Single Action Army (SAA) became the new military sidearm. Custer’s troops were armed with the new revolvers and lawmen and outlaws alike were quick to adopt the new six-shooter. The Colt SAA came in many variations and Uberti has recreated the most popular models in the 1873 Cattleman series.
Although the Colt Single Action Army was most widely produced with a color case-hardened frame, a 7 1/2″ nickel plated version was issued to Indian scouts. The bright blue metal finish called “charcoal blue” was available directly from the factory and with years of use the old six-guns took on a well handled soft gray patina. All of these classics are available in the 1873 Cattleman. | weapons_science |

To accomplish such an urgent task, they dispensed with the mere guillotine and rolled out a new death-dealing technology: the mitraillades, or execution by grapeshot.*
This bizarre killing method involved lining up the prisoners to be executed — scores or hundreds at once at the height of the Lyons crackdown — before the mouths of cannon loaded with anti-infantry balls. When the cannons fired, they mowed down the victims en masse. And then, gloated the executioners’ Convention ally Barere, “the corpses of the rebellious Lyonese, floating down the Rhone, would warn the citizens of Toulon of their coming fate!”
Now, grapeshot is an outstanding weapon in the right spot, but it is not at all certain to kill its targets. On the battlefield, mangled survivors were just about as good as dead bodies when it came to mauling the soldiery.
But executioners usually aim for something a bit more predictably lethal. The mitraillades could not offer anything close to dependable, near-universal slaughter … and so the horror of the artillery discharge was followed (as one sees in the drawing above) by the horror of the many stunned and injured survivors of the cannonade being finished one by one at close quarters with muskets and bayonets. Though a single coup de grace might count as a mercy, a hundred at once made for simple butchery.
The mitraillade did such brutal work that the national government soon ordered its Lyons deputation to lay off the innovation and return to the standard device for a Republican execution — the guillotine.
* Present-day Francophones will most likely associate the word mitrailleuse with the machine gun. That term dates to a a 19th century “volley gun” capable of spitting out 25 rounds from a cluster of rifle barrel activated by a single crank; for obvious reasons, this weapon inherited its name from the French word for grapeshot, mitraillade. | weapons_science |

These deadly looking battleships are ‘Imperial Destroyers’ of the Galactic Empire. The destroyers were used in order to dominate the enemies of the galactic republic. The Imperial I-class Star Destroyers, also referred to as an Imperial-class Star Destroyer or Star Destroyer, was a model of Imperial-class Star Destroyer in the service of the Imperial Navy. A wedge-shaped capital ship, it bristled with weapons emplacements, assault troops, boarding craft, and TIE line star fighters. In the era of the Galactic Empire, its command bridge was staffed by the finest crewmen in the navy. During the Galactic Civil War the Destroyer's role changed to hunting down high value Rebel targets and bases. | weapons_science |

Swords and knives and the history behind them attract many, and it arouses interest in them to own and learn how to use them. But, getting the ideal sword or knife from a number of them and in different kinds accessible out there could be daunting. Moreover, there are plenty of fakes and imitations in the market; therefore you need to be a lot cautions so that you can get the tight one and at the best price.
Before you decide to rush to the store to get a knife or a sword it crucial that you ask yourself the purpose of buying one. Certainly, the use of the knife or sword you choose to will have an impact on other factors as well. The shape and size of knife or sword you choose will heavily rely on how you are going to use them. You almost have no limits when choosing the size or shape of knife or sword you desire if your purpose is to decorate or have a collection in your home. Moreover, you need to identify whether you are going to carry them with you and get something that won’t attract the wrong kind of attention. A knife that you will need for hunting or any other thing related to that will be a bit bigger and have a different shape from one for decorating purposes.
The material and quality is another essential factor that you should not forget to look at. If you want to equip yourself with a gear for combat or other heavy duty purposes you will need to get yourself one made of highest quality carbon steel. Although when choosing these items for functionality, carbon steel will be expensive but you will need to dig deeper in your pocket to get something of the highest quality to last longer. Also, in the market, you will get knives and swords that are sharpened and others that are not. If you are a learner it is always a good idea to opt for knives and swords that are unsharpened, which you can sharpen as you advance in your training.
Additionally, you will need to evaluate the weight of the gear you desire to acquire as it will affect range and speed of movements while using it. If you want to have a sword for practice, check for one that will easy to handle in your training sessions. In a nutshell, depending on your purpose of acquiring one, the ideal sword or knife should be one that does not cause discomfort. | weapons_science |

BY WILLIAM J. PERRY, opinion contributor, The Hill, 25 April 2017
I lived most of my adult life during the Cold War, and, throughout, I never lost sight of one overwhelming reality — at any time, the Cold War could turn hot, resulting in the extinction of our civilization. Now, inexplicably, we are recreating many of the conditions of the Cold War. In fact, I believe that, today, the likelihood of a nuclear catastrophe is actually greater than it was during the Cold War.
The relations between the United States and Russia are as hostile as they were during the Cold War. Russia has dropped its long-term policy of “No First Use” of nuclear weapons and is rebuilding its nuclear arsenal. It is threatening its neighbors with these deadly weapons and indirectly threatening the U.S.
Responding to this challenge, the U.S. has begun rebuilding its nuclear arsenal. We seem determined to replay the Cold War arms race, with costs estimated at more than $1 trillion — with predictably terrible dangers.
Have we simply forgotten the immense dangers of the Cold War? Several times during the Cold War, we faced the prospect of a nuclear war by miscalculation, most dramatically during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. After that crisis, President Kennedy said that he believed we had a one-in-three chance of nuclear war….
North Korea routinely makes threats to turn Seoul into a “sea of fire,” and boasts that they are nearly ready to launch a nuclear-tipped ICBM at the U.S. I believe these threats are bluster. North Korea does have 15 to 20 nuclear weapons, a large arsenal of medium-range ballistic missiles and a program to develop an ICBM, but while the North Korean leaders are ruthless and reckless, they are not crazy.
–- They know that if they launch a nuclear attack, the American response would bring death to them, an end to the Kim regime and devastation to their country. Their nuclear weapons have value only if they do not use them.
A chilling return to Cold War nuclear dangers in addition to the more recent possibilities of nuclear terrorism and regional nuclear conflicts lead me to conclude that the likelihood of a nuclear catastrophe today is greater than it was during the Cold War. One thing is very clear: our policies are totally inadequate for dealing with these existential dangers.
It should be the highest priority for this administration to develop policies that recognize this new reality, and then to devise new, robust programs that can mitigate them. | weapons_science |

Of incredible size, surpassing even the Legion with 4 km of length, it's current classification is that of a super-dreadnought class, the only other known ship with that same classification being the Legion. Even so, being a piece of Lost Technology, it's certainly even mightier: it's able to create a blast with a range of half a light year (with no possible protection) that is more powerful the closer you are to the source (close to the epicentre no Ryuvian Cruisers were found, and even those at a considerable distance had been damaged). It also had an enormous Ryder carrying capabilities due to it's size, with approximately the capacity of 1000 Ryders, and is likely that also had number of conventional weapons comparable to that of Ryuvian Cruisers (and likely superior). Its other peculiarity related with the intentional restrain imposed by the Ruvians is that it only has one control station; the ship an all of its functions is controlled by only one person with aide from the ship AI.
The Sharr'Lac was once a common ship used by the Ancient Ryuvians, but it's incredible power forced them to restrict it's use, because the case of a war were such power could be used easily carried the real danger of destroying the Universe. Because of that the Empire Dynasty built a restraint. It could only be used if the most beloved daughter of the Emperor was sacrificed. In theory only the daughter of the Emperor could access and use the control station of the ship, and to do so it had to enter the capsule contained inside the bridge. Supposedly, she would die by means of an unknown mechanism upon successfully firing the main weapon. In the battle against the Fallen, in one of the numerous Ryuvian civil wars, the father of Sola (nominal emperor but fighting against an open rebellion) used it to try to win the War, with the aproval of his daughter. This created the ship graveyard that the Sunrider's crew observed, and likely had an impact in the war (however, due to the antiquity of such war there is no more information about the war or its winner). Despite its use, however, Sola survived, though she was put in cold sleep for at least 2000 years.
The Sharr' Lac presents very strange capabilities, being one of the few ships that, despite having installed some sort of restraint in it, still retains some of the deadly and superior technology that can't be compared to anything else in the galaxy (in comparison to the Ryuvian Cruisers, that while superior to normal cruisers, has technologies that are simply slightly more advanced or refined than normal). Superdreadnought class in both its fire power and size, aside from an enormous Ryder capacity and finally controlled only through a unique control station used by one person. Not only that, while the details are unknown, it had some kind of A.I. that not only was able to detect intruders, it also had the ability to autonomously reactivate its functions (even with its pilot directly engaging the intruder in her Ryder) and take control of the remaining inactive but still combat-capable cruisers in the graveyard, successfully activating them and commanding them against the intruders despite not having any living crew remaining. It is also able to emit a voice, but that speaks in a language unknown to any current living being (even in modern Ryuvia). Sola di Ryuvia speaks with the common tongue, though it is unknown if she knows that language and simply also learnt the common tongue, or simply also doesn't understand the language.
It is unknown if more of these ships survived, or if these other ones could be either sealed or simply non-functional. This in particular was completely destroyed by a core meltdown once it tried to use it's blast to destroy the Sunrider, curiously, without needing Sola on board - or perhaps possibly it's malfunction was specifically due to it trying to activate it's weapon without Sola aboard it to regulate it into it's weaponized state. The image is that of that blast, captured by the Sunrider's monitors. | weapons_science |

North Korea said on Wednesday morning that it had carried out a "successful" hydrogen bomb test, a claim that - if true - massively raises fears over the hermit state's banned nuclear programme.
International condemnation was swift with neighbours South Korea and Japan decrying a gross violation of UN Security Council resolutions, while the White House said it was still studying the precise nature of the apparent test and vowed to "respond appropriately".

Does Ukraine Need Its Nukes Back?
Russian military aggression has recently become a constant threat, while the Western powers are failing to fulfil the security guarantees they extended to Ukraine under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. The issue of nuclear or other similarly effective weapons with which to defend Ukraine’s borders is again high on the agenda
By giving up its nuclear weapons Ukraine managed to peacefully go through the stormy 1990s in the post-Soviet territory and leave the USSR quite painlessly. The control centre for strategic nuclear missiles located in Ukraine was in Russia. If Ukraine had kept them, it would have remained under Russia’s umbrella and essentially refused to embrace true independence. This is not to mention the excessive financial burden of maintaining the missiles and the infrastructure. However, Russian military aggression has recently become a constant threat, while the Western powers are failing to fulfil the security guarantees they extended to Ukraine under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. The issue of nuclear or other similarly effective weapons with which to defend Ukraine’s borders is again high on the agenda.
What Ukraine gave up in the 1990s
Twenty-three years after the breakup of the USSR, the core of Russia’s nuclear arsenal is still made up of the SS-18 missiles designed in Ukraine. As of 2014, the Russian Federation has some 680 Ukraine-made nuclear warheads on SS-18s, 600 nuclear warheads on SS-19s produced in Russia but with a control system made in Ukraine’s Kharkiv and around 300 warheads on Russian Topol (SS-25) and Yars (SS-27) missiles which include components manufactured in Ukraine. All SS-19s must be decommissioned by the end of 2016. The production of strategic missiles in Russia cannot keep up with the ageing of its nuclear arsenal, so it tries to maintain control over Ukraine’s missile-building complex at any cost.
In 1991, Ukraine inherited the third largest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world. It included 46 silo-launched SS-24 missiles carrying 460 nuclear warheads and 130 SS-19s carrying 780 warheads. Considering the parameters of these missiles, they were a threat to the USA but could hardly protect Ukraine from Russia. Moreover, Ukraine had, from Soviet times, 19 TU-160 strategic bombers and 600 air-launched cruise missiles. Its entire nuclear arsenal included some 5,000 warheads, but they were all controlled from Moscow. To compare, Russia now has around 14,000 nuclear warheads, including 1,500 to 1,600 of the strategic variety.
Ukraine did not and still does not have facilities to produce fuel-grade or weapons-grade enriched uranium. In the 1990s, this system would have required a huge investment – US $3bn, or US $10bn in current prices. It was precisely this national nuclear missile control system that Ukraine lacked in order to become a full-fledge nuclear state back in 1992. “The Russians began to actively work through their agents of influence, such as Dmytro Tabachnyk, inside Ukraine in order to force it to give up the entire missile industry as soon as possible,” a high-ranking official in Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service, who dealt with nuclear issues at the time, has told The Ukrainian Week on condition of anonymity. “The problem was that we were Russia’s main competitor at the international market for weapons and missile and space technology. Against the backdrop of friendly talks, very serious efforts were being taken to undermine Ukraine’s defence capacity and make it impossible for our state to maintain its nuclear status. All means were used, from secret financing of Ukrainian politicians, especially in the left-wing part of the spectrum, to bribery of officers and experts to economic pressure.”
Ukraine’s and Russia’s military industries worked as one mechanism in Soviet times. These were the infamous “inseverable economic ties between brotherly peoples” that Moscow loved to talk about. The Kremlin terminated all military industrial contracts starting from 1 January 1992, causing an economic collapse in Ukraine. In particular, the missile and space industry, which employed over 200,000 people, was left without orders. Nearly half of Ukraine’s electricity was produced by nuclear power stations that used Russian nuclear fuel, and suddenly Ukraine was unable to pay for it. In these conditions, the country faced a coordinated position of the USA, Great Britain and Russia, which demanded giving up nuclear weapons and missile technology and in exchange offered aid in overcoming the crisis. Finally, Ukraine’s government agreed, but all it received was apparent security guarantees, an aid package, supplies of nuclear fuel in exchange for nuclear warheads, as well as access to the commercial markets for Ukraine’s missiles.
At the moment, it seemed that Ukraine bought time by saving the missile and space industry from demise and the economy from collapse. Moreover, it kept 250kg of weapons-grade uranium, enough to make dozens of warheads if need be. However, in the course of nearly 20 years none of Ukraine’s presidents and governments ever tackled the issue of strategic security. In 2010, Viktor Yanukovych gave up the weapons-grade uranium to the USA based on an agreement Americans previously made with Viktor Yushchenko in exchange for financing a centre of neutron research in the Kharkiv Physics and Technology Institute. According to information obtained by The Ukrainian Week, most of this money has been embezzled.
There are three major varieties of nuclear weapons: land-launched, sea-launched and air-launched. Land-launched missiles are further divided into short-range (tactical, up to 500km), medium-range (1,000-5,000km) and long-range (upwards of 5,000km). According to the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty(INF) between the USSR and the USA, intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles were banned. Ukraine joined the treaty back in the 1990s.
Nuclear missiles are programmed to hit a certain set of targets within their range. All launch pads are joined together into one nuclear weapons management system, which issues launch commands.
Long-range missiles are usually called strategic, because their purpose is to destroy the strategic potential of an enemy, such as cities, military bases, etc. They typically carry several warheads each of which can manoeuvre on its own, deceive anti-missile defence systems and deliver nuclear charges within several dozen metres of the target.
The range of strategic missiles is limited from the bottom by the demands of the INF treaty, even though their control system can be programmed so that they would choose a trajectory to hit a target in the prohibited zone. Russia is already experimenting by launching strategic missiles with the range of 2,500km, which is approximately the distance from the Russian missile base in Verkhnyaya Salda (Urals) to Lviv or Odesa in Ukraine.
Nuclear weapons are means of universal destruction, which is both its strong and weak side. If an enemy is invading the country gradually, little by little, as Russia is doing in Ukraine now, nuclear weapons are useless. Let us look at the Russian aggression against Ukraine from a position in which we have strategic nuclear weapons. Let us assume that Russia has seized Luhansk or Kherson. Will Ukraine press the button of mutual destruction that will wipe out, among other cities, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv and Kharkiv? Of course, not. That is why strategic nuclear weapons are unfit for a local war like the one in which Ukraine has been drawn into.
An alternative option to fill the vacuum
Will tactical nuclear weapons help Ukraine? They more or less even out the chances of a small and large army, but there are many nuances. First, Ukraine would have to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. The world community may accept the diplomatic step as such, but any attempts to restore nuclear status will be met with a very hostile reaction.
Ukraine is now supported by the entire world, but by taking this step it would place itself alongside North Korea or Iraq under Saddam Hussein. No-one will lift a finger to protect Ukraine from Russia’s invasion, which will take place immediately after the effort to restore nuclear status becomes known. In this case, Ukraine can forget about European integration and cooperation with NATO.
Technologically, in order to restore tactical nuclear weapons Ukraine would need to produce a new missile carrier with a range of at least 500km, which is the distance between Chernihiv and Moscow, a control system and a weapons-grade uranium enrichment system. This programme would take three to five years to implement and many billions of dollars in financing.
As far as financing is concerned, ex-Minister of Environment Protection and Nuclear Safety Yuriy Kostenko, who held this office in the early and mid-1990s, said: “To create a system for developing enriched uranium and plutonium, we have working nuclear power plants, but to extract and further enrich these elements, we need brand-new production facilities. They will cost US $50-100bn to build.” Add to this the cost of constructing missiles and creating military units to service them.
The main blow in this case, however, will be the economic sanctions which the West will inevitably impose. If Ukraine manages to overcome all of this, then the question will arise: Why do we need nuclear weapons if we can keep Russia at bay even without them? Many experts say that withdrawing from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, spending many billions of dollars on weapons that are unlikely to ever be used and facing inevitable international isolation as a consequence simply does not make sense.
Instead, there is a completely legal alternative in creating a high-precision missile system with a medium or short range that will employ modern conventional warheads. One such type is the so-called thermobaric weapons, also known as vacuum bombs. They are as powerful as miniature nuclear bombs, but do not violate numerous international treaties or require an entire industry like that for obtaining weapons-grade uranium and producing plutonium. For example, the available Russian heavy thermobaric weapons have the explosive yield of some 44 tonnes of TNT. This kind of weapon cannot send the aggressor back to the Stone Age or turn someone into “nuclear ashes” but is a fairly serious deterrent to make any aggression pointless and very dangerous. Ukraine must make use of its scientific, technical and military potential which is sufficient today to create such cutting-age defence systems.
Ukraine, no doubt, needs to step up its cooperation with NATO with an option of soon joining the alliance. This will permit expanding NATO’s nuclear umbrella to cover Ukraine. Moreover, the Budapest Memorandum is an important argument to clear the way of all obstacles. However, it should be understood that in conditions of increasing instability in the world caused by Russia’s actions, Ukraine still needs to combine European Atlantic integration with the development of its own high-precision weapons. This will permit Ukraine to stay within the boundaries set by international treaties while at the same time safeguarding the country against any surprise events along its eastern and southern border.
