Prior to his setting out on a mission to subdue the Emishi, Yamato-hime-no-Mikoto gave her nephew a package containing two items. One was the Ame-no-murakumo-no-Tsurugi and Yamato Takeru used this to save his life when he was lured onto a deserted moor and encircled by burning grass.

But Admiral Jonathan Greenert, America’s chief of naval operations, has stoked it in the latest issue of a specialist journal. His article appeared to question the value of the stealth technologies that underpin the biggest weapons project in history, the vast and costly F-35 Joint Strike Fighter programme/…/
Mark Gunzinger, an authority on air power at the Centre for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a think-tank based in Washington, thinks the admiral was not so much aiming a broadside at the F-35 than making the case for having the right mix of aircraft for future carriers. An advocate of both the long-range Next Generation Bomber and the navy’s Unmanned Combat Air System, he points out that both should feature the stealthy designs that are needed to survive in hostile environments, and that forecasts of the death of stealth are very premature. | weapons_science |

The tests carried out by Joint Task Force 1, a combined Army and Navy operation. The stated purpose of the tests was to observe the effects of nuclear weapons on naval vessels.
Unlike the Trinity tests in the desert of New Mexico, Operation Crossroads was a very public affair. Invited guests included a large media presence, scientists and foreign military observers.
Three tests were planned. Test Able was was an air burst of a 23 kiloton “fat boy”. Test Baker involved an underwater detonation of a similar device. Test Charlie was to have a deep water detonation. Problems with decontaminating the test ships after Test Baker prevented Rest Charlie from occurring.
A fleet of seventy-one vessels was assembled in the Bikini lagoon as the target array. The ships were mostly American vessels including the carriers Independence and Saratoga and the battleships Arkansas, Nevada, New York and Pennsylvania. A few captured German and Japanese ships were also included.
Test Able was conducted on July 1, 1946. The bomb was dropped from a B-29 of the 509th Bomb Group. The bomb missed the target vessel, USS Nevada, by 750 yards. Five ships were sunk immediately and fourteen others badly damaged. The media was underwhelmed by the damage. The scientific evidence showed that the crew on most of the vessels would have perished from the effect of the radiation.
Test Baker took place on July 25, 1946. The device was detonated ninety feet below the surface suspended from LSM-60. While the plume from Test Able took most of the radioactive material into the stratosphere, the underwater detonation of Test Baker caused a radioactive soup to inundate the target vessels. The contamination was so bad that decontamination of most of the ships was abandoned and the vessels sunk.
The operation required the displacement of 167 natives from Bikini. Poor fishing conditions in their new home required their removal once more. Seventy-three years later Bikini Atoll remains uninhabited.
A number of numismatic items exist from Operation Crossroads. At least three different souvenir notes were printed for use as short snorters and there are chits from the recreation facilities on Kwajalein.
The first short snorter was made by the 58th Bomb Squadron of the 509th Bomb Group. The B-29 that dropped the bomb for Test Able was from the 58th Bomb Squadron.
The second type was printed by the Navy for JTF-1.
The third short snorter was printed for use on the USS Sumner. The Sumner was a survey vessel that conducted the preparatory work in the Bikini lagoon before the tests.
The Coral Reef Tavern was the name of the Navy run recreation facility on Kwajalein. Five and ten cent chits for use in the Coral Reef Tavern have survived.
Operation Crossroads also has a large philatelic footprint. Commemorative covers were made for most, if not all, of the target vessels as well as many of the support ships. The 58th Bomb Wing also made a commemorative cover that was carried on the plane that dropped the bomb for Test Able carrying a July 1, 1946 postmark. | weapons_science |

Alas, all are now only available with 4-inch barrels—short barrel versions can be found on the used market.
While all K-frame revolvers were once available in blue, nickel, or stainless steel finishes, only the Model 10 is blued—the other three are stainless steel. Concealable, durable, extremely accurate with reliability beyond reproach, the K-frame has been the primary handgun I’ve recommended to prospective defensive handgun owners since becoming a police firearms instructor in 1986.
A bit more than a half century later—1949 to be exact—Carl Hellstrom, the first head of the company not from the Wesson family, had the engineering department revamp the I-frame in order to produce a smaller .38 Special revolver.
The changes involved slightly increasing the size of the I-frame and changing from a flat mainspring to a coil mainspring.
Eventually the .38 was dropped, and everybody just called it a Chiefs Special.
Initially the Chiefs Special came with a 2” barrel, but by the end of that first year a clamoring among policemen pushed Smith & Wesson to begin offering the revolver with a 3” barrel.
Inside the factory, they were known as the I- and K-frames.
It would be decades before the factory nomenclature of letter frame designations would be divulged to the public via gun writers.
Speedloaders allow you to reload your K-frame with fresh rounds nearly as fast as you can reload a semi-auto.
Smith & Wesson manufactures revolvers in four frame sizes which run alphabetically from smallest to largest: the J-frame revolver (five-shot “snubbies”), K-frame revolver (six-shot .38 Special and .357 Magnums), L-frame revolver (heavy-duty six- to eight-shot .357 Magnums), and N-frame revolver (.41 Magnums and larger).
The K-frame revolver, the first standardized frame size in the 20th Century Smith & Wesson line, represents the best balance of size, power, and portability—which is why it was the standard American police sidearm for nearly 100 years.
The operation of a K-frame revolver is very simple.
There are only four manually operated controls on the entire gun—trigger, cylinder latch release, ejector rod, and hammer. In double-action mode the trigger cocks the hammer and releases it—which requires about 12 pounds of pressure. | weapons_science |

In the event deterrence fails, the US should be able to appropriately respond with nuclear options.The sub-elements of this function are: Assure/Dissuade/Deter is a mission set derived from the Air Force's readiness to carry out the nuclear strike operations mission as well as from specific actions taken to assure allies as a part of extended deterrence.The United States Air Force (USAF) is the aerial and space warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the seven American uniformed services. The service articulates its core functions as Nuclear Deterrence Operations, Air Superiority, Space Superiority, Cyberspace Superiority, Command and Control, Global Integrated ISR, Global Precision Attack, Special Operations, Rapid Global Mobility, Personnel Recovery, Agile Combat Support, and Building Partnerships. The Air Force is headed by the civilian Secretary of the Air Force, who reports to the Secretary of Defense, and is appointed by the President with Senate confirmation.Initially part of the United States Army, the USAF was formed as a separate branch of the U. Armed Forces on 18 September 1947 under the National Security Act of 1947. The highest-ranking military officer in the Department of the Air Force is the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, who exercises supervision over Air Force units, and serves as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Air Force provides air support for land and naval forces, the service operates more than 5,369 military aircraft, 406 ICBMs and 170 military satellites.
Nuclear strike is the ability of nuclear forces to rapidly and accurately strike targets which the enemy holds dear in a devastating manner.
Nuclear surety ensures the safety, security and effectiveness of nuclear operations.
Because of their political and military importance, destructive power, and the potential consequences of an accident or unauthorized act, nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon systems require special consideration and protection against risks and threats inherent in their peacetime and wartime environments.
Recently, the Air Force refined its understanding of the core duties and responsibilities it performs as a Military Service Branch, streamlining what previously were six distinctive capabilities and seventeen operational functions into twelve core functions to be used across the doctrine, organization, training, equipment, leadership, and education, personnel, and facilities spectrum.
These core functions express the ways in which the Air Force is particularly and appropriately suited to contribute to national security, but they do not necessarily express every aspect of what the Air Force contributes to the nation.
Post-conflict, regeneration of a credible nuclear deterrent capability will deter further aggression. | weapons_science |

He used a block of hardwood large enough to accept a 2 x 6-in. oilstone as the jig body and inset two 1/16 x 1/2-in. steel runners on each side. He formed the knife rest from a small length of hardwood, through which he inserted a 1/4-in.-dia. steel rod. When sharpening the knife, Harry establishes the angle by using a sliding T-bevel placed behind the knife rest.

Position the lower body
This is one of the most important factors in clay pigeon shooting (especially Olympic trap): legs slightly apart, for those of you who are right-handed, left foot forward at 45 ° with respect to the trench and the right foot back at about 80 °, and vice versa for left-handers.
The correct position of the feet facilitates the rotation of the torso thus allowing you to reach even the most angled targets. The weight of the body must be balanced, but a little forward: about 2/3 on the left leg which may be slightly bent, the rest on the right.
Position your hands correctly
The right hand grasps the pistol grip to allow the joint of the first phalanx of the index finger to reach the trigger. The ideal position of the left hand is approximately in the middle of the fore-end: this is at the point where, by holding your shotgun in both hands, you can see perfect weight distribution and balance of the gun. The thicker fore-end, typical of trap shotguns, helps to control the swing.
Don’t raise your elbow!
Don’t raise your elbow! Of course, don’t do it before getting off the shooting stand, but don’t do it even on the stand… Arms and shoulders must be kept at exactly the same height, with the elbows about ten degrees lower than the shoulders. It is quite common, however, to see shooters with the right elbow way above the shoulder, with the left one lower.
Avoid abnormal tension
This will cause you to rotate differently to the right than to the left. A high elbow on the side where the shotgun is held can induce abnormal tension in the neck and shoulder muscles, which are then subjected to the recoil of the weapon.
The stock at the shoulder
Have your grip adjusted
If a stock is too long, it forces you to bring the shoulder back and therefore makes left targets difficult, while a stock that is too short forces the shoulder forward, making right targets difficult.
Your cheek should never deviate from the support on the stock comb, and movements to the right and left to follow the trajectory of the targets must be performed by rotating on the trunk. You should never look up from the line of sight.
Position yourself before the pull
In the vain attempt to be faster than the electronic release systems, the mistake is often made of calling the “pull” and moving the shotgun at the same time, before having even seen the target’s exit: this is the reason for many “zeroes”. In the tenth of a second that elapses from when the shooter calls the pull to when he starts to move the shotgun, the result is largely determined.
Place your stock between your shoulder and your cheek
Normally, the stock is placed between the outside part of the pectoralis major muscle and the deltoid, which originates on the collarbone and is attached to the humerus.
The butt of the stock must rest under the cheekbone: it is necessary that the cheekbone muscles isolate the back of the gun from the cheekbone bone itself, in order to avoid contusion and abrasion of the skin. Nothing that cannot be sorted out with the correct training.
The head must be held naturally: if you prefer to have a greater field of vision, you can opt for the high rib, for example, of the Browning model B725 Pro Master and B725 Pro Trap High Rib.
Centre your barrels on the “witness” zone
At this point, having assumed the right stance and correctly holding the shotgun, you just have to shoot. The shotgun should theoretically be aimed flush with the trench at the point (called “witness”) where the three targets, right, left and central, corresponding to each stand, meet. The shotgun must be aimed lower than this point. How much? It depends on the choices and the reaction speed: in any case from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 50 centimetres.
Call the target
In the Olympic trap speciality, you can load the shotgun and put it to the shoulder as soon as the previous shooter has fired. When you are in position and you are fully concentrated, you can “call” the target with a simple “oh” or a “pull”. The important thing is that the call is strong enough to be “heard” by the “phono-pull” that controls the clay-throwing machine.
It is at this moment in which you must avoid making the common mistake:
- of moving only your eyes by diverting them from the rib and the viewfinder to follow the target,
- leaving the rest of the body still: the so-called “moving on call”.
Conversely, being able to visualise the target through the barrel line by moving the shotgun and body smoothly in the direction of the target increases the chance of hitting it. You need sensitivity and a lot of practice.
Follow and pass the target
The movement of the gun and the body that follow the trajectory of the target is smooth and controlled, to lock onto the target and overtake it by what is necessary to shoot and shatter it.
This, in theory, is the anticipation! Shoot without hesitation and continue the movement with a soft “follow-through” to eventually fire the second shot.
The speed of the shotgun is higher than that of the target, therefore the best condition would be to increase the ability to aim and glance, in order to be able to hit the target with a short and free movement in the first few meters from the exit, to have time to correct with the second barrel.
Adapt your shot to the speed of the target
The target comes out of the trench at 120 km / h (90 in Compak specialties) and loses speed in contact with the air. The shot, which comes out of the barrel at 1,440 km / h (400 m / sec), is also slowed down by the air.
If you shoot with the shotgun in motion, as you should, you will get “automatic” anticipation because the speed of your shotgun is increasing, while that of the target is gradually decreasing. Indeed, you will feel like you are shooting at the target without anticipation.
Then, you will acquire your personal experience and be able to adopt “your” method.
And in the other specialities?
Practice to find the right movement
As for Skeet and Compak or Sporting, bracing is one of the key movements to learn. You can also practice at home by raising the shotgun, unloaded of course, aiming forwards and downwards and then following an imaginary target in different directions.
Find the strategic place for the shot
Unlike Trap, you have to prepare for the shot not by following the trajectory of the clay, but by placing the barrels at the easiest point – the highest point of the trajectory – just before it starts to descend, where it is most clearly visible, predictable and slowing down.
Test the position and then assume it, looking back at the exit of the clay. In this way the weapon will not have to make large movements; you just have to raise it to the shoulder and align the eye to the rib to be very close to the point where you decided to aim, and shoot to hit the target. Easy, isn’t it?
Take my advice, though. At least at the beginning, get help! You can always put the blame on the instructor …

It's picturesque in the extreme, but something sinister lurks beneath the surface of Greenland's massive ice cap.
At the height of the Cold War, the United States of America (an ally of Denmark) thought this vast, peaceful, and largely uninhabited colony would be the perfect place to hide nuclear weapons facilities. The American plan, nicknamed Project Iceworm, called for hundreds of kilometres of tunnels, housing enough nuclear missiles to blow any potential adversary away.
What they actually built beneath the ice of northwestern Greenland was an experiment in living, called Camp Century. Camp Century was practically a city within a glacier. It housed 200 U.S. soldiers and had its own theater, shop, and chapel, all powered by a nuclear reactor.
Building Camp Century was no easy feat. Roughly 1,200 kilometres from the North Pole, temperatures were frequently below -30 Celsius, with winds reaching up to 100 kilometres an hour. The U.S. Army hoped eventually to expand the facility and add their nuclear missiles. But first the site was monitored to see how soldiers fared in extreme conditions and whether the facility under the ice could in fact house weapons of mass destruction.
It's a good thing they held off on bringing in any weapons to Greenland. Due to movements of the ice cap, the ceiling of the reactor room in Camp Century had dropped by nearly two metres by 1962. Realizing conditions within the glacial ice would be too unpredictable for a nuclear launch facility, the U.S. Army began operating Camp Century in summer only, as of 1963, shutting down and removing the nuclear reactor.
By 1966, they had abandoned Camp Century altogether. They literally just left—leaving everything they had put in place behind them. The assumption was that the cold temperatures of the Greenland ice cap would safely entomb everything forever.
But temperatures are warming. The Greenland ice cap is melting at a rapid rate. And some experts say that by 2090, Camp Century may be exposed by melting ice and what was left behind could be extremely dangerous.
The infrastructure of the Cold War era ice camp might be a fascinating find, but whatever other waste was left behind—biological, chemical, or nuclear—could prove deadly. Just one more in a long list of reasons why today's great battle should be a global effort to reduce the worst effects of climate change. | weapons_science |

Figure 3.2 and Figure 3.1 (both in Chapter 3) show the countries actively involved in developing biological and chemical weapons. Although several countries including the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and China reduced stockpiles from 1986 to 2002, significant stores of these weapons remain in these countries. North Korea's declaration of an active nuclear weapons program in late 2002 is an illustration of the gravity of this transnational threat.
Many nations are also working to develop missile systems capable of carrying nuclear weapons. (See Figure 4.1.) Figure 4.1 and Table 4.1 list the differing ranges of such missiles. In a June 2000 address to the Asia Society, U.S. Assistant Secretary for Nonproliferation Robert J. Einhorn called the proliferation of WMD and their missile-delivery systems the gravest threat to world security.
This chapter provides an overview of the nuclear, chemical, biological and conventional weapons programs and capabilities of selected nations. It also presents a more detailed examination of the history of Iraq's weapons development, program, and capabilities as well as the events in Iraq that led to its invasion by the United States in March 2003. | weapons_science |

The electromagnetic spectrum portion of the information environment is referred to as the Electromagnetic Environment EME. The recognized need for military forces to have unimpeded access to and use of the electromagnetic environment creates vulnerabilities and opportunities for electronic warfare in support of military operations.
Primary EW activities have been developed over time to exploit the opportunities and vulnerabilities that are inherent in the physics of EM energy. Activities used in EW include: electro-optical, infrared and radio frequency countermeasures; EM compatibility and deception; Radio jamming , Radar jamming and deception and Electronic counter-countermeasures or anti-jamming ; electronic masking, probing, reconnaissance, and intelligence; electronic security; EW reprogramming; emission control; spectrum management; and wartime reserve modes.
Electronic Attack[ edit ] Electronic Attack EA previously known as Electronic Counter Measures ECM involves the offensive use of EM energy, directed energy, or anti-radiation weapons to attack personnel, facilities, or equipment with the intent of degrading, neutralizing, or destroying enemy combat capability including human life.
In the case of EM energy, this action is most commonly referred to as jamming and can be performed on communications systems or radar systems. In the case of anti-radiation weapons, many times this includes missiles or bombs that can home in on a specific signal radio or radar and follow that path directly to impact, thus destroying the system broadcasting. Main article: Electronic counter-countermeasure Electronic Protection EP previously known as Electronic Protective Measures EPM or Electronic Counter-CounterMeasures ECCM involves actions taken to protect friendly forces personnel, facilities, and equipment from any effects of friendly or enemy use of the electromagnetic spectrum that degrade, neutralize, or destroy friendly combat capability EA.
So, EP brings with it the ability to defeat EA. Not to confuse the issue, but "jamming" is not part of EP, it is the target of EP. Jamming is an EA capability see above.
Flares are often used to distract infrared homing missiles to miss their target. The use of flare rejection logic in the guidance seeker head of an infrared homing missile to counter an adversary's use of flares is an example of EP.
Other examples of EP include spread spectrum technologies, use of restricted frequency lists, emissions control EMCON , and low observability stealth technology.
EWTRs are equipped with ground-based equipment to simulate electronic warfare threats that aircrew might encounter on missions. Other EW training and tactics ranges are available for ground and naval forces as well. Antifragile EW is a step beyond standard EP, occurring when a communications link being jammed actually increases in capability as a result of a jamming attack, although this is only possible under certain circumstances such as reactive forms of jamming.Apart from developing advanced EW hardware, Russia also trains its forces in the use of such advanced EW equipment and conducts regular drills and competitions within its forces to keep its personnel well-aware about such systems as well as knowhow to use them in a real war scenario.
Electronic warfare played a major role in many military operations during the Vietnam War. The recognized need for military forces to have unimpeded access to and use of the electromagnetic environment creates vulnerabilities and opportunities for electronic warfare in support of military operations.
Not to confuse the issue, but "jamming" is not part of EP, it is the target of EP. However, the same assets and resources that are tasked with ES can simultaneously collect information that meets the collection requirements for more strategic intelligence. These staggering losses effectively ended the Russo-Japanese War in Japan's favor. | weapons_science |

When I was 9 years old, Mom and Dad took me to visit the battleship U.S.S. Alabama. That visit to the “Lucky A” made quite the impression on me. Since then, I’ve read a lot about battleships in general and the naval war in the Pacific during World War II. In fact, I have a “dream itinerary” of museum ships from World War II to visit, if I ever have the time and money.
Lately, a couple of things concerning the naval war in the Pacific caught my attention. First, a review of a new biography prompted me to order the book almost immediately. Written by Paul Stilwell, it’s about Vice Adm. Willis Lee, one of the least-known American commanders of the Pacific War, probably because he was our foremost expert in battleship warfare.
Since aircraft carriers became the primary naval warship during World War II, battleship commanders were not quite as lauded as carrier commanders like Fleet Adm. William Halsey. Lee was Halsey’s battleship force commander during one of the most fascinating naval battles of the Pacific War, the Battle of Samar Island. That battle is not as well-known as others of the time, such as the Battle of Midway, but the best account of the battle — “The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors” by James D. Hornfischer — has become one of my favorite reads.
Hornfischer’s book engagingly tells the story of a U.S. Navy naval task force codenamed “Taffy 3,” composed of escort aircraft carriers and destroyers, supporting the U.S. invasion of the Philippines. Escort carriers were small aircraft carriers commonly referred to as “jeep carriers” by their crews, and destroyers are small surface combatants that protected larger ships and were commonly referred to as “tin cans.”
During the battle, the Japanese lured Adm. Halsey and his force of large carriers and battleships away to engage a force of Japanese carriers while a group of Japanese battleships and cruisers targeted the U.S. landing forces. Undetected, the Japanese force encountered “Taffy 3” with an overwhelmingly superior fleet. To put it into perspective, the largest Japanese ship involved, the battleship Yamato, was larger in terms of tonnage than the ENTIRE American task force, and a single hit from one of her main guns would have decimated any of our ships.
So, the American ships did the only thing they could … they attacked. The “tin cans” attacked the Japanese battleships and cruisers with such fury that the Japanese commander believed he was facing a force of American battleships and cruisers instead and retreated. Not without inflicting major damage on “Taffy 3,” though. Five American ships were sunk.
One of the American ships sunk that day was the U.S.S. Samuel B. Roberts, a small destroyer escort. Along with her sister ships, she made a heroic attack against the Japanese force before succumbing, though, heavily damaging two much larger Japanese cruisers. Her attack was so devastatingly intense that she’s legendary in the U.S. Navy and has become known as “the destroyer escort that fought like a battleship.” I’ve seen that description repeated so many times that I’ve never been able to track down exactly who said it first.
Recently, the wreck of the “Sammy B.,” as her crew affectionately nicknamed her, has been located. She is now the deepest shipwreck to have ever been discovered. Some of the other ships involved in the battle — most notably the destroyer U.S.S. Johnston — have also been discovered in the last few years.
Adm. Willis Lee is linked to the Battle of Samar, even though he and the battleships he commanded were not present. Chasing the Japanese carriers used as bait, Adm. Halsey briefly considered leaving Lee’s force of battleships behind near Samar to guard against just such a move by the Japanese. He eventually decided that a Japanese attack was unlikely and that his carriers needed the battleships in support. However, that possible “battleship versus battleship” duel has become one of the great “What if?” scenarios discussed and debated by naval historians. And … the U.S.S. Alabama was one of the battleships under Lee’s command that day.
I think Adm. Lee’s battleships would have annihilated the Japanese battleships in that hypothetical battle. However, on paper, the U.S. Navy shouldn’t have won the Battle of Samar Island at all, even if it was a situation where we won that battle by not losing it. So, I’m looking forward to reading Stilwell’s biography of Adm. Lee to find out what he thinks.
The connection between the Battle of Samar and the Fourth of July is not explicit — there is no obvious reason to link the two. However, there’s a link for me. On paper, we shouldn’t have won the American Revolution, either. The British forces arrayed against us were entirely overwhelming. But we won. To me, it has to do with the American spirit. That spirit is fully on display in such places as Lexington and Concord … and Samar Island.
The best representation of that spirit at Samar is an anonymous quote. As one flabbergasted American sailor watched the larger, better armed Japanese fleet sail away, he was heard to say — and I’m paraphrasing the somewhat salty actual quote — “They’re getting away.” With pluck like that, you can’t lose.
Happy Fourth of July.

Its distinct, curved shape makes it highly effective for close-quarter combat. The forging of a katana is an ancient art that is steeped in tradition and deeply rooted in the spiritual beliefs of the Japanese people.
After the tamahagane (smelt) is cold rolled and formed, it undergoes a crucial heat treatment known as yaki-ire. A clay slurry is applied to the body and spine of the blade, while a thinner layer is spread on the edge. The blade is then heated and quickly quenched in water, causing the steel to harden on one side and softer on the other. The process creates a unique blade pattern called Hamon, and it also helps to give the katana its distinctive curve.
The blade of the katana is then sharpened and polished to create its iconic razor-like edge. The forging of a katana requires great skill and dedication to the craft, as even a small mistake can render the sword unusable. The polishing of a katana is a time-consuming and laborious process that can take as long as the forging itself.
Once the katana is fully polished, it is then inspected and approved by the swordsmith. It is then sent to be mounted and forged into its final form, including the saya (sheath) and tsuba (hilt). Katanas can be made either longer or shorter than a standard two-shaku katana. Shorter katanas are referred to as wakizashi. The keywords I will use are | weapons_science |

India’s defence expenditure has grown considerably in the past decade, with increased allocations being made for defence capital acquisition. With the nation’s indigenous defence production capability continuing to remain insufficient to meet the requirement of the armed forces, dependence on arms procurement from leading arms manufacturing companies around the world became inevitable. It is in this milieu that the subject of defence offsets has gained prominence in recent years. Some of the key issues addressed in the book are: leveraging offsets in the arms trade, global trends in defence offsets, and the perspectives of US, Europe as well as other leading countries implementing defence offsets policy.
The book will be of immense use to policy makers, researchers, defence establishments as well as companies engaged in defence supplies or production. | weapons_science |

Modern chemical warfare started with the use of mustard gas, phosgene, and chlorine gas in World War I. Since that time, a variety of chemicals have been developed for military purposes. The nervous system is a key target organ for many of the most common types of chemical warfare agents (CWAs).
One of the most abundant and most toxic chemical warfare agents in the chemical arsenals of the USA and Russia is VX and Russian VX respectively, whose development in the middle of the 20th century signified the peak of warfare chemistry.
The arbitrary name VX relates to a group of O, S-diesters of methylphosphonic acid ROPO(CH 3)S(CH 2) 2 N(R1. In this important and revelatory book, Jonathan Tucker, a leading expert on chemical and biological weapons, chronicles the lethal history of chemical warfare from World War I to the present.
At the turn of the twentieth century, the rise of synthetic chemistry made the large-scale use of toxic chemicals on the battlefield both feasible and by: In The Great Secret, Jennet Conant explores the link between a WWII tragedy and a cancer breakthrough The Great Secret is at its heart a scientific detective saga starring Alexander in its first half and Rhoads in its second, as the raw material of Alexander's dogged scientific work is transformed into the effective (and sometimes not so effective) standard cancer treatment of Author: Undark.
In Japan, military interest in chemical weapons originated with reports of the use of poison gas at Ypres on Ap The Army Technology Review Board, which was responsible for monitoring innovations in weaponry, began to investigate the potential of developing an array of chemical weapons, poison gas launchers, and gas masks.

In addition, it reveals the racialized dimension of these mustard gas experiments, as scientists tested whether the effects of toxic exposure might vary between Asian, Hispanic, black, and. The introduction of chemical warfare during the First World War was a major event in the history of military technology.
It not only posed an unusual challenge to military thinking of the day, which was largely conventional and wholly unfamiliar with science; it also created a heated moral controversy surrounding the new weapon that did not discriminate between soldiers an/5(1).
In his foreword to a U.N. report on chemical and biological weapons (July 1, ), Secretary General Thant recommended a renewed appeal for accession to the protocol and a "clear affirmation" that it covered the use in war of all chemical and biological weapons, including tear gas.
Chemical weapons have a long, lethal history. Accounts of ancient chemical warfare, including the use of poisonous smoke and arrows, date back as far as the 12th century, B.C.E.
One of the enduring hallmarks of WWI was the large-scale use of chemical weapons, commonly called, simply, ‘gas’. Although chemical warfare caused less than 1% of the total deaths in this war, the ‘psy-war’ or fear factor was formidable.
Thus, chemical warfare with gases was subsequently absolutely prohibited by the Geneva Protocol of "Poison gas" can refer to poisons in chemical weapons, but most of them are in fact liquids, for example mustard gas and VX are viscous liquids that are dispersed into fine mists.
In small amounts, corrosive poison gases usually cause irritation, and may have a smell, but this is not universal. There are several gases that can kill insidiously. Poison gas was used in the Iran-Iraq War, and Iraq under Saddam Hussein used poison gas on its own civilians, in particular the Kurds.
In the Persian Gulf War, the UN troops were equipped with antidotes for nerve gas, protective clothing, and gas masks in case Iraq used poison gas. Poison gas also has been used during the Syrian civil war (s).
Chemical warfare was revolutionized by Nazi Germany's discovery of the nerve agents tabun (in ) and sarin (in ) by Gerhard Schrader, a chemist of IG Farben.
IG Farben was Germany's premier poison gas manufacturer during World War II, so the weaponization of these agents cannot be considered accidental. Some 66 million gas shells were fired during the war, according to the estimate of Augustin Prentiss, a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army Chemical Warfare Service.
2 He. The release of poison gas years ago changed the face of World War I and gave humanity a new weapon of mass destruction. Nobody expected the first chlorine gas attack on Apto be quite so successful, including Fritz Haber, the weapon’s main advocate. The Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare, usually called the Geneva Protocol, is a treaty prohibiting the use of chemical and biological weapons in international armed was signed at Geneva on 17 June and entered into force on 8 February Inthe Geneva Protocol prohibited the “Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare.” The agreement was signed most prominently by those who had used gas in the Great War — Austria, Britain, France, Germany and Russia (the U.S.

The symptoms did not correspond to case histories of mustard gas poisoning from World War I, or to manuals issued by the Chemical Warfare Service. If the toxic agent was mustard—named for its. With the war in Europe entering a critical phase, the Allies agreed to impose a policy of strict censorship on the chemical disaster: All mention of mustard gas was stricken from the official.

WASHINGTON—U.S. intelligence officials say North Korea’s nuclear test yielded an explosion of “approximately several kilotons.” In a statement Tuesday, February 12,2013, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said North Korea “probably conducted an underground nuclear explosion in the vicinity of P’unggye.” It said the explosion yield was “approximately several kilotons” and that analysis of the event is continuing. South Korea’s Defense Ministry said it detected an estimated explosive yield of 6-7 kilotons. President Barack Obama called North Korea’s action “highly provocative” and said it threatens U.S. security and international peace.

The Second Italo-Ethiopian War was a military and political success for Mussolini that he soon repeated in Albania in Any details on the overall development of the Carcano can be found in the article linked above. With the adoption of the Carcano long rifle the cavalry was ready to replace their out dated Vetterli black powder carbines. The new action was stocked into a familiar pattern and size, emulating the existing cavalry carbines, and paired with a shorter adjustable sight in to form the Moschetto Modello 91 da Cavalleria.
The decision to use these spike bayonets was because Cavalry were issued full length swords and the addition of a knife bayonet to their kit would make for a clattering mess. This is the same consideration we see on the later Japanese Type Other than the addition of a short handguard and some variations on locking the bayonet this rifle remained unchanged until Lessons learned in North and East Africa left the Italian military itching for improved ammunition.

Unlike Soviet and Russian carbines of the past the M44 was issued to front line infantry troops, and there is known Soviet war- time footage showing front line infantry troops armed with M44 carbines. In some of this same footage it was also noticed that a small number of the dreaded and feared NKVD blocking troops carrying M44’s.

In , 11 Australian commandos , all white, disguised themselves as Malay fishermen by dyeing their skin brown and boarding a fishing boat. They sailed through 2, miles of Japanese-controlled ocean from Australia to Singapore. At one point they even traveled right alongside a Japanese warship without them noticing anything strange which was good, because none of the commandos could speak Malay.
They then took canoes right into Singapore Harbor, where they blew up seven Japanese ships before escaping.
A bayonet (from French baïonnette) is a knife, sword, or spike-shaped weapon designed to fit on the end of a rifle’s muzzle, allowing it to be used as a spear. From the 17th century to World War I, it was considered the primary weapon for infantry , it is considered an ancillary weapon or a weapon of last resort. Modern bayonets are often multi-purpose knives such as the Soviet.
Most of these rifles were still in use during the Sino-Japanese War of the s and the Pacific War of the s. During the war and subsequent American occupation of Japan, thousands of these rifles found their way to the United States as war souvenirs, making them one of the most common foreign military firearms available in the country. The Arisaka rifles are named for Colonel Nariaki Nariakira Arisaka, who headed a commission during the s which was charged with developing a new rifle to replace the earlier models such as the Murata.
The Arisaka rifles were designated with the year of the current emperor’s reign. Thus, the Type 38 rifle was designed in the 38th year of the reign of Emperor Meiji , and the Type 44 carbine was adopted in the 44th year of his reign During the reign of Hirohito, rifles were designated by the last one or two digits of the adoption year according to the standard Japanese calendar. Thus, the Type 99 rifle was adopted in Japanese calendar year , and the Type 2 paratroop rifle was adopted in calendar year A chrysanthemum with 16 petals the symbol of the Japanese Emperor was usually stamped on the receiver of rifles manufactured for the Imperial Japanese Army, indicating that the rifle belonged to the Emperor.

Oxford graduate officer shot himself day before 30th birthday 24 Sep “I have been shot at quite a few times and could tell the enemy was close. Gravel and dirt were flying up all around me from the bullets. It was obviously a well-planned ambush and they overwhelmed us with fire from three points initially.
They were all quite young lads and the adrenalin was racing. I shouted follow me and we went for it. I got ‘Commander’s Legs’ on and was going very quickly. I realised I’d left them behind a bit so had to slow down and was engaged again, so I organised my guys who started attacking the enemy firing points,” he said. As two of the soldiers provided fire support, Cpl Jones prepared a hand grenade for the final assault. He raced towards an alley and was about to throw the grenade but said he realised that the buildings were occupied so put the grenade away.
But the speed, aggression and audacity of his response caused the insurgents to fall back in disarray. Sporadic enemy fire continued. Cpl Jones rallied his men to launch another assault just as the platoon commander and the rest of the patrol, who had been suppressing the other enemy position during the charge, rejoined the group. The insurgents melted away.

BCT has become more challenging These tasks and battle drills correspond with the current operating environment, and we are using training that is geared toward the generation of Soldiers entering our Army during this time of war Rifle Marksmanship is more extensive, with more hours on the range, more bullets fired, and Soldiers using both basic and advanced techniques.
Soldiers now fire rounds for infantry during basic, and also have to “certify” as part of the Combat Field Fire phase based on the new Rifle Marksmanship Strategy. Combatives are more relevant New instruction has been added which teaches Soldiers to fight from their feet, not wrestle and grip on the ground. Soldiers now attend 22 hours of instruction, which is double the previous requirement at BCT. Additional techniques – wearing full kit – have been added that is more relevant to what Soldiers might be asked to do in a combat situation.

Dagger with Zoomorphic Hilt, ca. Beginning with the 17th century, another form of dagger—the plug bayonet and later the socket bayonet —was used to convert muskets and other longarms into spears by mounting them on the barrel. They were periodically used for eating; the arm was also used for a variety of other tasks such as mending boots, house repairs and farm jobs.
The final function of the dagger was as an obvious and ostentatious means of enhancing a man’s personal apparel, conforming to fashion which dictated that all men carried them. Combat knife 20th century daggers WW1 trench warfare caused daggers and fighting knives to come back in play. They also replaced the sabres worn by officers, which were too long and clumsy for trench warfare.
They were worn with pride as a sign of having served front line duty. Daggers achieved public notoriety in the 20th century as ornamental uniform regalia during the Fascist dictatorships of Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’s Germany. The resurgence of these dress daggers and accoutrements in post-World War I Germany gave a much needed boost to the flagging fortunes of the metalworking center Solingen.
Dress daggers were used by several other countries as well, including Japan, but never to the same extent as those worn by the military and political bodies of the Third Reich or Fascist Italy. As combat equipment they were carried by many infantry and commando forces during the Second World War. British Commando and other elite units were issued an especially slender dagger, the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife , developed by William E.

The yatagan was extensively used in Ottoman Turkey and in areas under immediate Ottoman influence, such as the Balkans and the Caucasus. Description[ edit ] Yatagans consist of a single-edged blade with a marked forward curve and a hilt formed of two grip plaques attached through the tang , the end of the hilt being shaped like large ears. The gap between the grips is covered by a metal strap, which is often decorated.
This blade form is often referred to as being ‘recurved. The grip plaques are typically made from bone, ivory, horn or silver, and spread out in two ‘wings’ or ‘ears’ to either side at the pommel a feature which prevents the hilt slipping out of the hand when used to cut. Regional variations in the hilts have been noted:

In November 1853 a Russian squadron commanded by Vice-Admiral Pavel Nakhimov (3 84-gun ships) was on patrol off the northern coast of Anatolia. Russian ships approached the Bay of Sinop to check the rumors of the Turks gathering a landing force there. A squadron of 7 Turkish frigates and 5 smaller ships was anchored in the bay protected by 6 coastal batteries. Nakhimov’s force blockaded the port and waited for reinforcements to come. Soon 3 120-gun ships of the line and 2 frigates commanded by Rear-Admiral Novosilsky joined Nakhimov. Fearing that the Anglo-French fleet might reinforce the Turks the Russians decided to attack.he last major naval engagement of the age of sail (

The ships of the line were armed with a new and formidable weapon: the Paixan 68-pounder shell guns, which were especially deadly against wooden warships. On 18 (30) November 12:30 PM the action began. The Russians took position in a crescent along the anchored Turkish ships and started firing. A fierce cannonade from the Turkish batteries and ships inflicted some serious damage on the Russian fleet, but still the Turkish frigates were no match to the shellfire of the bigger guns of the Russian ships of the line.

The Pentagon announced the deal, valued at up to almost $33 million if all the options were to be exercised, in its daily contracting notice on Feb. 26, 2021. The announcement said that the contract, which the Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded to Raytheon, was for “Coyote Block 3 (CB3) Autonomous Strike” drones to support work on “Autonomous Swarm/Strike – Loitering Munitions.”
This is “a rapid capability effort to achieve operational launch capability from unmanned surface vessels (USVs) and an unmanned underwater vessel (UUV). The intended concept of operations (CONOP) and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) are to provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and precision strike capability from maritime platforms,” the contracting notice added. “Additionally, the High Volume Long Range Precision Strike (HVLRPS) from USVs and Fires (HVLRPF) from UUVs demonstrations will leverage prior efforts including the Innovative Naval Prototype (INP) and progress on the Mobile Precision Attack Vehicle (MoPAV).” | weapons_science |

To start with what is an air rifle. An air rifle or airsoft gun, is basically a gun which shoots pellets or BBs pneumatically, using compressed air, or some other mechanically compressed gas, as opposed to using any combustible gas to fire the shot. Most air rifles use a little quantity of compressed gasoline to propel the BB's at very substantial speeds, firing various photographs in a row, very like how a paintball player would make use of a machine gun, or simulate game-design hunting having a bow and arrow. As opposed to an actual gun, during which the shooter will have to purpose and shoot continually, airsoft employs compressed air, thus the expression "airsoft." These guns are occasionally used for schooling, although some states tend not to let the usage of airsoft guns on college house, as they are generally highly addictive and abusive to students (To learn more on this matter, take a look at Your Legal rights by reading the report connected below).
An airsoft shotgun is really a lesser Model of the rifle. The difference is in sizing, where the shotgun is involving 5 inches and twelve inches long, and amongst 10 inches and 20 five inches long Over-all. A shotgun has a shorter vary compared to the rifle, since it can not be fired as fast since the rifle can, but it is nonetheless potent adequate being particularly helpful for many video games. The pellets fired from the shotgun are more impacted and journey farther than People of the rifle, resulting in bigger precision.
Airsoft pellets are just like pellet guns, but in its place are housed inside of a plastic casing, as an alternative to a steel or wooden a single. Some air rifles use spring-loaded Publications, while some use bullet-operated kinds. The kind of magazine picked out depends on the desired accuracy and electrical power degree sought after. Some preferred manufacturers contain Remingtons and Winchester, Whilst CO2 designs are growing in recognition.
Considered one of the most well-liked air rifles is definitely the repeating shooter, that's a cross between a shotgun and a rifle. The repeating air rifle (revolving rifle) shoots consistently, employing compact pellets (no larger than BBs in diameter) that rapidly rotate through the barrel at the exact same level as being the air, to secure a constant shot when. Recoil (the motion of your pellet backwards and forwards) is ready manually, by transferring the butt from the rifle toward the shooter till the pellet reaches a continuing speed and direction. Utilizing this type of air rifle is an excellent searching Instrument, enabling the hunter to speedily strike many targets with a significant, highly effective pellet.

Airsoft pistols provide the same firing features as rifles (range, velocity, halting electric power, etc. ), but their deficiency of a giant bore would make them commonly significantly less exact than rifles.
Rifles, Then again, are definitely the closest similar to shotgun pellets. A looking rifle will keep several pellets, which may be shot off swiftly (usually at in excess of 100 feet per next or so), but a pistol's pellet is frequently much less highly effective than a shotgun's. Due to this, when obtaining airsoft guns, rookies really should keep on with pistol types; although they are much inexpensive, you don't need to have a similar muzzle Power as other types of searching guns.
To determine what type of air rifle is very best for your preferences, it is vital to find out the quantity of calibers are now available and what the bullet excess weight is for each. The load of your pellet is calculated in grains, which refers back to the complete fat of your pellet which includes jacket substance. Just about every caliber has its own unique weight, so for those who are searhing for a pistol product, you ought to get one that weights in excess of fifty percent a grain, that's the standard for pistol products.

They have a lot of solutions and a large capturing selection. When you've gotten a lot more snug with working with them, you could find you need to department out and purchase other types of air rifles as your searching desires increase.

By LARA JAKES and PETER LEONARD
World powers began a new round of high-level talks with Iranian officials Tuesday, trying to find a way out of a yearslong tussle over Tehran's nuclear program and its feared ability to make atomic weapons in the future.
Few believe the latest attempt to forge a compromise will yield any major breakthroughs, but negotiators are optimistically casting it as a stepping stone toward reaching a workable solution.
Officials described the latest diplomatic discussions as a way to build confidence with Iran as the country steadfastly maintains its right to enrich uranium in the face of harsh international sanctions.

Moscow has delivered advanced S-300 air defense missiles to Syria to protect the country’s troops deployed in the war-torn Arab country in the wake of last month’s downing of a Russian reconnaissance plane during an Israeli airstrike in Latakia.
The S-300PM-2 system is equipped with a more advanced radar station, an improved target illumination and guidance station (firing radar) and a mobile command post.
Launchers have also been upgraded enabling the use of more advanced, powerful and long-range missiles, compared to the “classic” S-300.
Unlike conventional S-300s, the modernized air defense system can fire medium-range tactical ballistic missiles, while retaining its ability to destroy aerial targets up to 250 kilometers (155 miles) away.
The S-300PM-2 also boasts improved anti-jamming capability allowing it to operate in conditions of electronic warfare.
Contrary to media reports, the S-300PM-2 currently deployed in Syria will not be operated by Iranians because the only specialists who can operate this system are in Russia, the source told the newspaper.
Iranians have never operated such systems because the S-300PMU-2 supplied to Iran is an export version with a simplified circuit and control modes compared to the S-300PM-2.
The source noted that the automatic control system on the export PMU-2 version does not allow it to interact with Russian air defense systems that have been transferred to the Syrian armed forces.
Earlier this month, debka.com cited US and Israeli intelligence sources as claiming that the S-300PM-2 batteries deployed in Syria would be operated by Iranian teams. They also insisted that Russia had originally planned to entrust the system’s operation to Iranians, that’s why it had allegedly given the Syrians a version of the S-300PMU-2 it had supplied to Iran in 2016.
In early October, Russia donated to Syria three battalion sets of S-300 missile systems of eight launchers each of which had been repaired in Russia where they had been used before being replaced by the more advanced S-400 system.
The Russian Defense Ministry then said that it would take three months to train Syrian specialists to operate the missile system.
Russia announced the supply of S-300 air defense missiles to Syria after a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance plane was mistakenly shot down by Syrian air defenses during an Israeli air raid on September 17.
The S-300PM-2 system entered service with the Russian army in the 2010s.
In December 2015, the first regiment S-300PM-2 took over combat duty to protect the airspace of the country’s central industrial region.
The regiment was later re-equipped with the most modern domestic anti-aircraft system, the S-400 Triumph, and, according to the source, some of the S-300PM-2s were sent to Syria. | weapons_science |

https://populareconomicsblog.wordpress.com/2014/10/28/nra-uses-gun-violence-to-maximize-profits/ | 2020-10-01T18:52:19 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402131986.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001174918-20201001204918-00144.warc.gz | 0.959255 | 1,674 | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-40__0__87340283 | en | How can we believe the National Rifle Association opposes gun violence when every mass murder committed with guns is answered by the NRA’s call to buy more weapons? There have been 3 mass killings by crazed gunmen just over the past week, and the gun industry’s reponse via the NRA is that guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
The latest attempt by the gun industry to boost sales is to compete with a Washington State ballot initiative that limits gun sales. Initiative 594 would require universal background checks, whereas their Initiative 591 bars universal background checks. Guess which one is backed by the gun industry? So restricting gun sales via universal background checks won’t stop the killers? Really?
It means those gun makers who fund the NRA are directly responsible for the bizarre mass shootings that have discriminately killed so many children and adults. Their only answer has been to blame the victims who hadn’t purchased guns (with high capacity magazines) for not being ‘cocked and ready’ when a crazed gunman commits mayhem.
Yet large capacity ammunition magazines are the common thread uniting all of the high-profile mass shootings in America, according to the Washington DC Violence Policy Center that listed the mind-numbing results—42 mass killings from 1984 to June 2013, with 380 killed and 365 wounded by the gunmen. Two of the shooters used assault rifles with 75-round high capacity drum magazines enabling the huge body count.
The shooter who killed 20 children and 7 adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012 equipped his assault weapon with 30-round magazines, which enabled him to fire 154 rounds in less than five minutes.
The gunman in Tucson, Arizona who killed six people and injured 13 others, including U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, in a supermarket parking lot in 2011, used a handgun equipped with a 33-round magazine. His shooting spree was only interrupted when he was tackled by a bystander as he finally stopped to reload his weapon.
We have to look at when gun manufacturers began to manufacture large magazine weapons in order to increase their profits for the origins of the mass killings. In fact, prior to the 1980s, the most popular type of handgun was the revolver, which typically holds six rounds of ammunition in a rotating cylinder. During the 1980s, however, the firearms industry began mass producing and marketing semiautomatic pistols, which can accept ammunition magazines.
In 1980, semiautomatic pistols accounted for only 32 percent of the 2.3 million handguns produced in America.9 By 2008, however, such pistols accounted for 76 percent of the 1.8 million handguns produced that year.
How has the gun industry been able to fool so many people for so long on the facts of gun violence? Factcheck.org points out how the NRA’s reflex response to any gun violence is to mount truly bizarre campaigns that deny any culpability for the mayhem.
The NRA’s response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School killing of 20 children and 7 adults is but one example. "We need to have every single school in America immediately deploy a protection program proven to work — and by that I mean armed security," said the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre just one week after the massacre.
Why would the NRA so blatantly ignore the revulsion felt by so many over the massacre? New Jersey Governor Chris Christy highlighted the callous absurdity of Wayne Lapierre’s response. “In general I don’t think that the solution to safety in schools is putting an armed guard because for it to be really effective in my view, from a law enforcement perspective, you have to have an armed guard at every classroom,” he said. “Because if you just have an armed guard at the front door then what if this guy had gone around to the side door? There’s many doors in and out of schools.”
So the gun industry would be much happier it they could sell every teacher a firearm that would have to be kept in every classroom to be an effective deterrent. That would really boost their profits!
The Sandy Hook massacre even caused the U.S. Senate to attempt to take action to tighten gun regulations with universal background checks, including for gun show and online sales. Yet it was still voted down because of a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign by the gun industry.
“I agree wholeheartedly with the goal of the NRA,” Joe Manchin, one of the bill’s sponsors. “I was surprised when the latest alert from the NRA was full of misinformation. … They are telling members that our legislation would criminalize the private transfer of firearms by honest, law-abiding citizens. … That is a lie.”
The Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence spells out the loopholes that allow gun sales to grow and gun companies to make even more profits. Online and gun show sales require no background checks, even though the Bureau of Tobacco and Firearms documents U.S. gun shows as a major source of bulk weapons’ sales to Mexican Drug Cartels.
The NRA’s excuses for Elliot Rogers Isla Vista, California, mass murder was that it was the result of California’s stringent gun regulation that prevents lawful citizens from owning guns. But that is an outright lie, as the California law only bans assault rifles with large magazine clips. California has banned the sale of Semi-automatic firearms that the state has classified as assault weapons, .50 BMG caliber rifles, and magazines that can hold more than ten rounds of
Since 2005, the gun industry and its corporate allies have given between $20 million and $52.6 million to the NRA through the NRA Ring of Freedom sponsor program. Donors include firearm companies like Midway USA, Springfield Armory Inc, Pierce Bullet Seal Target Systems, and Beretta USA Corporation. Other supporters from the gun industry include Cabala’s, Sturm Rugar & Co, and Smith & Wesson.
And industry profits have soared. According to the Christian Science Monitor, $6 billion in estimated revenue was earned by the US gun and ammunition manufacturing industry in 2012, according to a financial report by the research firm D&B First Research based in Austin, Texas. The major manufacturers include Browning Arms, Freedom Group, Olin, Aliant Tech Systems, Sturm, Ruger & Company, and Smith & Wesson. The biggest companies are Ruger and Smith & Wesson, which represent about 30 percent of the industry.
The estimated number of guns in circulation in the United States as of 2009 was 310 million, according to a survey from the National Institute of Justice. That number includes 114 million handguns, 110 million rifles, and 82 million shotguns. The number of available guns has increased 62 percent since 1994, when there were about 192 million firearms in circulation. "Per capita, the civilian gun stock has roughly doubled since 1968, from one gun per every two persons to one gun per person," according to a report from the Congressional Research Service.
Need we say more to uncover the tactics used by gun manufactures to increase their profits, regardless of public safety concerns? The Brady Campaign’s numbers tell it all:
- One in three people in the U.S. know someone who has been shot.
- On average, 32 Americans are murdered with guns every day and 140 are treated for a gun assault in an emergency room.
- Every day on average, 51 people kill themselves with a firearm, and 45 people are shot or killed in an accident with a gun.
- The U.S. firearm homicide rate is 20 times higher than the combined rates of 22 countries that are our peers in wealth and population.
- A gun in the home is 22 times more likely to be used to kill or injure in a domestic homicide, suicide, or unintentional shooting than to be used in self-defense.
Gun manufacturers and the NRA are maximizing profits at the expense of public safety. They have become in fact a danger to civil society, rather than protector of public safety.

https://worldnewscontent.com/the-8-best-10mm-pistols-for-sale-to-buy-in-2022/ | 2023-05-28T16:44:06 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224644309.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20230528150639-20230528180639-00511.warc.gz | 0.938774 | 1,333 | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__253477710 | en | If you’re looking to add some power to your handgun line-up, you may be considering the 10mm cartridge. The 10mm Auto is a powerful round that can be used in semi-auto handguns or revolvers, but there are some caveats.
For example, it’s a larger-calibre round than 9mm Luger and offers more stopping power than .40 S&W. It also has less recoil than other similar calibres because it uses a wide bullet with low sectional density and less power than other cartridges such as the .45 ACP. That makes it perfect for hunting bears! Below is the list of 8 best 10mm pistol for sale. Keep reading to know about them

The U.S. has used drones for decades, with early versions flown during World War II and the Vietnam War. But over the past decade, the Defense Department's development and production of drones has rapidly increased. The U.S. military has gone from having just a few drones at the outset of the Iraq War to now over 7,000.
And we're not alone, not by a long shot. The lure of enduring overhead surveillance and strike capability at a safe remove -- and at a relative bargain -- is just as appealing to the rest of the world's militaries as it is to us. Sure, American drone technology is a sought-after brand on the international arms market, but other countries have and increasingly are developing their own platforms. Allies like Israel and adversaries like Iran have used reconnaissance drones in combat since the 1980s and continue to turn out new models. China is taking its lead from American drone models with knockoff Predators and Global Hawks.
Today, more than 50 countries are using or developing unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. Here are some of the most interesting.
Israel's Heron TP
The Heron TP (a.k.a. "Eitan"), built by Israeli Aerospace Industries, boasts an impressive array of features. It can fly for up to 36 hours at heights of over 40,000 feet carrying a payload of over a ton. For snooping from above, the Heron is chocked full of sensors and reconnaissance gear, including forward-looking infrared, laser ranger finder, electro-optical, maritime patrol and synthetic aperture radar, among others. Significantly, it's also capable of carrying weapons and can reach targets as far away as Iran. The Heron might even lead an attack on the Mullahs' nuclear facilities, jamming cellphone networks and spoofing air defense systems.
It's a step up from its predecessor, the similarly titled Heron-1 reconnaissance drone. Unarmed, it can fly for four hours longer than its more advanced cousin and carries only a quarter of the payload. Still, the original Heron has proven a popular export around the world, providing Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance unmanned spying capability to India, Turkey, Brazil and other countries. Israel successfully leveraged sales of the Heron-1 to a drone-hungry Russia in order to dissuade it from arming Iran with sophisticated air defense missiles.
Israel's been a leader in drone technology for quite some time now, even supplying America with a fair share of its robotic planes. (U.S. drone maintenance crews used to have to learn Hebrew is order to keep the UAVs flying.) In early October, the Israeli Air Force celebrated the 40th anniversary of its first drone unit, Squadron 200. The unit was created in order to help the Israeli air force spy on neighboring air defense missiles without risk to pilots. Squadron 200 first used an Israeli-modified version of the U.S. Ryan Firebee UAV, the Firebee 1241, bought from the U.S. in 1970. Following the Yom Kippur war in 1973, Israel purchased a number of other American UAVs and began developing one of its own reconnaissance models, the Scout, which became operational in June of 1981.

China's Pterodactyl I
China's notorious for being awash in pirated goods, but the copycat trend isn't limited just to consumer goods. They've been making knockoff American drones since the 1960s. Consider one of the latest imitations, the Pterodactyl I. Look familiar? It's China's version of an armed Predator drone. If you've always wanted one, but could never convince America to sell it to you, you're in luck: the Pterodactyl is available for export. Roughly the same size as the Predator, Chinese officials claim it has similar capabilities, with a 20 hour maximum endurance (compared to the Predator's 24) and the ability to carry about 10 pounds less than the Predator's 450 pound payload. The Pterodactyl apparently imitates another Predator feature, too: it crashes. Photos of what appears to be a crashed Pterodactyl in Hebei Province, China surfaced late this summer.
Just because China copies American drones, though, doesn't mean it operates a UAV force with the same capabilities as the U.S. military. It's still behind in developing the engine technology, communications satellites and human capital necessary to support a drone fleet on par with Uncle Sam's.
China's Soaring Dragon
The armed Predator isn't the only American drone China's tried to copy. The Soaring Dragon ("Xianglong") is China's spin on America's high-altitude, long endurance Global Hawk reconnaissance drone. A project of China's Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute and Guizhou Aviation Group, the HQ-4 even mimics the Global Hawk's designation, RQ-4. Pictures, video and models of the Chinese drone show it imitates the Global Hawk's distinctive shape with a long, thin wings, a top-mounted rear engine and rounded nose scoop.
The Xianglong flies shy of the Block 10 model Global Hawk's 65,000 foot maximum height at 57,000 feet, but with a roughly 4,300 mile range doesn't come close to the Global Hawk's approximately 14,000 mile range. Not much is known about what specific kinds of sensors and spy gear the Xianglong will carry. China has already taken the Xianglong out for a spin with a November 2009 test flight.
Despite its namesake, China's Soaring Dragon is a surveillance drone and won't be raining fire on enemies -- at least not directly. It's believed to be intended for maritime use, pointing out targets at sea for China's anti-ship missiles.
Just because it's under sanctions, doesn't mean Iran is going without when it comes to military drone technology. It's been flying drones since the late 1980s, during the Iran-Iraq war.
First produced in 1993, most Ababil ("Swallow") models are designed for reconnaissance. The Ababil-T, though, comes equipped with a high explosive warhead. The drones can be launched either by a rocket or pneumatic system and can return to ground using a parachute or skids. Ababils are controlled remotely by radio telemetry and operate in autopilot using GPS and an interial navigation system.
Ababil variants have shown up in the skies over a few Middle Eastern conflicts in recent years. In early 2009, U.S. forces in Iraq spotted an Ababil-3 crossing the border from Iran into Iraq and tracked the UAV for over an hour before shooting it down. During the 2006 Lebanon war, the Israeli air force downed an Ababil-T supplied to Hezbollah while it was flying over Haifa.
But Iran isn't just coasting on its holdover drone technology from the 80s and 90s.. Iran's been ramping up drone production and research recently, exploring new kinds of homegrown unmanned systems. Photo: Iran-Airshow.com
Russia's been a fairly eager customer of Israeli UAV technology, but it's also been trying to develop some new drones of its own. Take the Stork ("Aist"), for example. Russia had hoped the Stork would be capable of a variety of missions. With a maximum payload of 1,100 lbs, it was supposed to conduct reconnaissance and point out targets for the Iskander-M short range ballistic missile system. Russia even hoped for an armed version that capable of strikes. It was supposed to do all this, that is, until it literally crashed and burned on the runway during testing in early 2010.
Rustom is India's homegrown Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance drone. Developed by India's Aeronautic Development Establishment, it's expected to come in three different variants. The Rustom-1 and Rustom-H are surveillance models. The smaller Rustom-1 has already passed five test flights and will have a 12-14 hour endurance. The the larger H-model will fly for twice that long at 24 hours. Its surveillance kit includes day and night eletro optic sensors, synthetic aperture radar and maritime patrol radar as well as electronic and communications intelligence sensors. There's also an armed variant of the Rustom in the works, the Rustom-C, based on the H-model. If successful, the Rustom program will help India fill out its fleet with homemade models of long endurance drones, replacing its fleet of Israeli-made Herons. Photo: Wikipedia
Reconnaissance and attack aren't the only missions drones can be useful for. Developed and funded by Israel's Urban Aeronautics Ltd., the AirMule drone program is designed to ferry cargo, medevac the wounded and resupply troops in areas where conventional aircraft can't go. AirMule flies using ducted fans, giving it vertical take-off and landing ability as well as a unique Star Wars-style landspeeder appearance. Sure, AirMule looks like a movie prop. But Israel's Air Force and Medical Corps have reportedly expressed interest in purchasing the hover drone.
Developed by the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) for Germany and Spain, the EADS Barracuda is an experimental attempt at a UCAV with some stealth features. The demonstrator was first revealed to the public in 2006. It quickly ran into trouble when the only existing demonstrator crashed that year during flight test. EADS said it wouldn't continue the program, but later reversed itself. The drone reportedly comes equipped with radar absorbing materials. It's capable of carrying a range of infrared and electro optical sensors and synthetic aperture radar.
A number of European have been toying with stealth killer drone demonstrators in recent years. Britain's BAE is working on the delta-shaped, stealth Taranis strike drone demonstrator. France's Dassault Aviation is leading a consortium of Italian, Greek, Spanish, Swedish and Swiss companies working on the nEUROn demonstrator, again delta-shaped, stealth and armed. So if you're planning on pitching Europeans on a drone design, remember: weapons, triangles and stealth features are your best selling points. Photo: yyzphillip/Flickr
China's Dark Sword
Dark Sword is China's concept for a fast-flying killer drone. Precise details about the combat drone are hard to come as China has only given sneak peeks of the program. Still, pictures, models and comments by Chinese official portray Dark Sword as aiming for stealth capability and intended for air-to-air combat. The triangular-shaped design with apparently retractable canards leads many to assume China is hoping the Dark Sword would be capable of long range missions and supersonic speeds.

Israel's Harpy exists in the space somewhere between a missile and an attack drone. The vehicle-launched system loiters in the air for hours looking for enemy radar systems. Once it detects an enemy air defense radar, it dives straight for the source of the signal, detonating its warhead in the air above to destroy it.
Israel has exported the Harpy to a number of countries, but its exports to China briefly landed it in hot water with the Defense Department. In 2004, Israel planned to upgrade Harpy drones it had sold to China in the 1990s, to the loud objection of the United States. Israel ultimately scuttled the upgrade plans, and the Defense Department gave it a short time-out from the international consortium building the F-35 stealth jet. Photo: Wikipedia
Iran rolled out Karrar, its long distance bomber drone, in 2010 with much fanfare. Iranian officials claim the jet-powered drone can carry about 500lbs worth of weapons – configured either for two 250 lb bombs or a single 500 lb one – with a range of about 600 miles. Observers argue over whether the Karrar ("Striker") is more a copy of America's MQM-107 Streaker drone from the mid-1970s or the South African Denel Dynamics Skua, first developed in the 1980s. That would make it less the "ambassador of death" Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmedinejad hailed it as and more an envoy of the past | weapons_science |

We offer you to join our AK-47 tour, where our guide will tell you a lot of interesting stories about the most famous weapon in the world.
The AK-47 was created by Mikhail Kalashnikov, a weapon designer in his twenties. As a young recruit to the Red Army, Kalashnikov irritated his company commander with his endless questions about military equipment. He was sent off to an armorers’ course. Then having been severely wounded in battle in 1941, he spent his recovery time designing weapons. It brought him to work with the team of well-known weapon designers, such as Georgiy Shpagin, and Georgiy Degtyarev. This cooperation resulted in the development of a new sub-machinegun.
Kalashnikov was an energetic and original thinker. He adapted what he had learned as an armorer, and worked with the other designers to create a series of the greatest small-arms in the world, including the AK-47. The AK-47 first appeared in 1947 and became standard issue for Soviet troops in 1949.
Today AK-47 continues to be the best assault rifle as it incorporates the best features of American M1 Garand/M1 carbine, Remington Model 8 rifle, and the German Sturmgewehr 44.
Apart from AK-47, you will have a chance to shoot Austrian hand guns, such as Glock 17 or Glock 35. Glock entered Austrian military and police service by 1982 after it was the top performer in reliability and safety tests.
Do you know what the most effective range of this rifle is? Where is the gun produced nowadays? How long does it take to disassemble and reassemble AK-47? 19. Why did the original designer of the Glock pistol fire all prototypes in his basement with his left hand?
Find it out on our tour, and shoot legendary AK-47 riffle and Glock hand guns!

And wishing to destroy their rivals more quickly, governments often contemplate every option that places them in a better strategic position. However, there have been cases in which some nations have put their trust in unorthodox weaponry projects. Maybe they were ahead of their time, or their designs just did not make any sense, to the point that their creation was not viable. In this article, we will see ten canceled military projects that they could have changed the course of known military confrontations.
Towards the end of World War II, Nazi Germany’s Ordnance Office gave the German scientist Joachim Hänsler the task of designing a prototype of an electromagnetic railgun. This machine would exceed the firepower of any other weapon of the time. Tests of the first LM-2 prototype began in 1944 and resulted in the firing of an aluminum projectile at 1,080 meters (3,543 feet) per second. That was 200 meters (656 feet) per second faster than the best German anti-aircraft weapon ever built. Faced with such success, Hänsler’s superiors ordered him to create an improved prototype that could double the muzzle speed. But the war ended before the LM-2 was perfected, and the Americans finally captured the weapon. Years later, a report from 1947 showed that firing the railgun would require the energy needed to light up half a city.
Super V-2 Missile
Once World War II ended, the French Ministry of War created the Center for the Study of Guided Missiles, to analyze and use German propulsion technology for its rockets. The institution emphasized the technology of the Nazi V-2 missile, and 30 German scientists were recruited for its program. The program began in 1946 with the construction of the rocket. Around 75 percent of the parts of the V-2 missile needed to build the new weapon was acquired in France. Meanwhile, the engine tests would be carried out in the Alzou Mountains (France), and the test flights would be performed in Algeria. The first test flights were projected for 1952, due to the difficulty to obtain pieces for the missiles.
The Super V-2 was expected to have the same size and shape as its original counterpart, but with a more powerful engine. The largest version of the Super V-2, which would later become the A-9 missile, had a nuclear warhead of 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) and a flight range of 3,600 kilometers (2,237 miles). It used kerosene and turbo-charged nitric propellants, plus two additional engines for takeoff. The program continued until 1948 when the French government withdrew its budget due to a lack of interest, and then the project of the Super V-2 missile was canceled.
During the 1980s, the former company British Aerospace teamed up with the American agency DARPA to create a STOVL (Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing) aircraft, to replace the famous fighter jet Tornado. One of their most advanced, resulting designs was the BAe P.125. This aircraft was going to be manufactured in two variants, the non-STOVL version and the STOVL one, both with a propulsion system equal to that of the modern F-35 jet. However, the STOVL version redirected air from the central engine compressor to two nozzles under the fuselage. The most remarkable thing about this vehicle is that its fuselage was built in one single piece, without canopy or windows.
It was highly aerodynamic, to make the plane completely stealthy and protect the pilot from Soviet attacks with anti-aircraft lasers. In that way, the pilot was inside a closed cockpit, reclined to reduce the impact of the G-force over his body. Several cameras outside the aircraft sent real-time images to screens inside the cockpit so that the pilot had a large field of vision even when he remained locked entirely, using a technology called “synthetic view.” The project was finally discarded in the early 1990s with the approval of another project called “Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter,” which would lead to the creation of the F-35 aircraft.
Boeing YAL-1 Laser
After 16 years of construction and a budget of $5 billion, the U.S. Air Force developed a high-energy laser capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. It was mounted on a Boeing 747-400F plane and tested on the field for the last time in February 2010. The so-called “YAL-1” was an air-to-air combat laser, designed to knock down missiles in mid-flight, by compromising their structure with intense heat. The tests of the device began in 2009 and continued until 2010. The device destroyed two missiles during field tests, but the laser had redirection failures and did not bring down all of its targets. For this reason, the project was discontinued in 2011, and the Boeing plane was sent to dismantling.
Convair Model 49
A competition of the U.S. Air Force between 1966 and 1967 requested a proposal for a stable and heavily armed battlefield-support aircraft. Therefore, a division of the currently closed Convair Company presented a non-traditional, air vehicle project: the Model 49. The aircraft consisted of a cockpit for two crewmen, linked by a joint to a circular fuselage with two counter-rotated propellers in the center. It was powered by three engines located in the outer face of the fuselage. This gave the vehicle three modes. First, it could take off vertically and stay suspended in the air like a helicopter. Then, the aircraft could rotate the cockpit 90 degrees upward and become a plane while flying to its destination.
And third, it could turn its cockpit again to put the structure in a vertical position and attack targets while still hovering in the air. Some of its weaponry combinations included grenade launchers, machine guns, cannons, and rockets. All weapons were connected to articulated joints that allowed the pilots to redirect them during a flight to attack several targets. The fuselage was resistant to projectiles up to 12.7 millimeters (0.5 inches) in size, and the aircraft was expected to weigh 9.5 tons when fully loaded. In the end, the Model 49 lost against its competitor -the Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne helicopter- for the contract with the U.S. Air Force. Anyway, both projects ended up being equally rejected, and the famous AH-64 Apache helicopter took their place.
Landkreuzer P1000 Ratte
In 1941, the German company Krupp performed studies on heavy Soviet tanks. Thanks to this, in the following year the Nazis conceived the idea of a super-heavy tank of more than 1,000 tons, with the weaponry and protection of a naval battleship. Thus, the “P1000 Ratte” was born, a vehicle Germans referred to as a “land cruiser” and not as a conventional tank. The P1000 Ratte was characterized by being a battleship on wheels, measuring 35 meters (115 feet) in length and 11 meters (36 feet) in height. It was powered by eight Daimler-Benz engines that would give it 16,000 horsepower and a top speed of 40 kilometers (25 miles) per hour. The minimum crew required to operate it was about 20 people.
The weapons this tank would probably have were two 280-mm naval guns, one anti-tank gun, eight anti-aircraft cannons, and two automatic cannons. Its maximum weight was estimated at 2,000 tons, and its armor could reach a thickness of 360 millimeters (14 inches) at the front. The tank had a limited functionality at best -by its weight it would shatter the ground while advancing, and by its height, it could not aim at the closest targets. So in 1943, the Minister of Armaments Speer ended up canceling the project Ratte, which only reached the pre-prototype stage, despite Hitler’s interest in this machine.
Project Defender (BAMBI Devices)
After a successful attempt by the Soviet Union to launch its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in 1957, the United States began to develop a defense program to neutralize the threat posed by this new weapon. Once the failed “Nike-Zeus” project was dropped, the nation began working on the Project Defender in 1958. Thanks to the work of the best scientists in the country, the main program within the Project Defender consisted in launching hundreds of satellite stations into space to hit ICBMs in orbit.
These devices (officially called BAMBI) would deploy a net around them to increase the probability of collision while detecting the ballistic missiles through infrared sensors. However, the program BAMBI was canceled during Kennedy’s presidential administration in 1962, for three main reasons. The nation was now focused on the Apollo program, the BAMBI stations would have been very vulnerable to anti-satellite attacks, and the technology needed to create them was too advanced for that time.
CAM Walking Truck
In the final stage of the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army asked the company General Electrics to create a versatile vehicle capable of supporting heavy loads, specially designed to move through difficult terrains. So in 1968, General Electrics presented a vehicle called Cybernetic Anthropomorphous Machine (CAM), more commonly known as Walking Truck. This machine had a height of 3.3 meters (11 feet) and a weight of more than 1,360 kilograms (3,000 pounds). It could walk thanks to four mechanical legs powered by hydraulic pistons, controlled from the inside by a single operator.
The vehicle worked with gasoline and reached a speed of 8 kilometers (5 miles) per hour thanks to its more than 90 horsepower. The maximum load it supported was around 227 kilograms (500 pounds). The operator controlled the movements of the machine through stepping levers that gave him a sense of connection with the vehicle as if those were his own limbs. Finally, the project was canceled by General Electrics due to the high complexity of handling such a machine; it was very exhausting to try to control the vehicle.
Tupolev Voron Drone
In November 1969, a Lockheed D-21 drone of the U.S. Air Force suffered a failure and crashed in Siberia (Russia) after flying over China for surveillance purposes. Then, the Soviets recovered its parts to examine them. The company Tupolev Design Bureau realized that the aircraft offered solutions to the construction of fuselages with more advanced materials, able to withstand supersonic speeds. So it decided to reverse-engineer the D-21 and build its own version. Thus, in March 1971 the creation of the Tupolev Voron was officially approved. It was going to be a supersonic reconnaissance drone, having a more advanced technology than any other airplane of the time. The Voron had a length of 13 meters (43 feet), an innovative, tailless triangle shape, and a weight of 6.3 tons.
The aircraft was able to reach speeds of up to 3,800 kilometers (2,361 miles) per hour, while its maximum attainable altitude was more than 26 kilometers (16 miles). It was equipped with a panoramic camera that transmitted data to ground equipment. The drone would be launched into the air from a Tu-95K bomber, although the possibility of a ground-based takeoff was also studied. However, the data processing equipment at the time was not good enough to take advantage of the potential of the Voron’s spying ability at high altitudes. Also, progress made in espionage mechanisms from space diminished interest in reconnaissance drones, and the Voron project was canceled, reaching only initial testing stages.
The following project was similar to the Project Defender, although much more radical. Any space weapon would require a vast energy source to work correctly. Therefore, about ten underground nuclear tests were conducted since 1980 to determine if it was possible to concentrate the energy of a nuclear explosion in a single X-ray beam, to disintegrate targets. This allowed the development of the project Excalibur, a defense system within the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) during Ronald Reagan’s administration. It consisted of a device placed on a space platform, where a nuclear explosion was concentrated through metal rods. This generated an X-ray laser capable of destroying intercontinental missiles thousands of kilometers away. The initiative had an annual budget of $200 million. But the project Excalibur was eventually canceled in 1992 and its research resources were redirected to the development of other suborbital weapons. | weapons_science |

A U.S. attack would kill 80 million Soviet citizens and destroy 85 percent of the country’s industrial capacity. According to the recollections of a Soviet general who was present, General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev “trembled” when he was asked to push a button, asking Soviet defense minister Grechko “this is definitely an exercise?” This story appears in a recently released two-volume study on Soviet Intentions, 1965-1985, prepared in 1995 by the Pentagon contractor BDM Corporation, and published today for the first time by the National Security Archive. Based on an extraordinarily revealing series of interviews with former senior Soviet defense officials–”unhappy Cold Warriors”–during the final days of the Soviet Union, the BDM study puts Soviet nuclear policy in a fresh light by highlighting Soviet leaders’ recognition of the catastrophe of nuclear conflict, even while they supported preparations for fighting an unsurvivable war.
BDM’s unique interview evidence with former Soviet military officers, military analysts, and industrial specialists, reproduced in volume 2 of the study, covers a wide range of strategic issues, including force levels and postures, targeting and war planning, weapons effects, and the role of defense industries. Using this new evidence, the BDM staffers compared it with mainly official and semi-official U.S. interpretations designed to explain Soviet strategic policy and decision-making during the Cold War. While the BDM analysts found that some interpretations of Soviet policy were consistent with the interview evidence (e.g., the Soviet interest in avoiding nuclear war and Moscow’s quest for superiority), they identified what they believed to be important failures of analysis | weapons_science |

Pentagon spokesman Charles Summers told reporters Turkey’s decision to accept the Russian defense system “would mean that they would not have access to the Patriots and the F-35s.
“If Turkey takes the S400s there will be grave consequences in terms of our military relationship with them and with the Patriots and the F-35s,” Summers said.
He did not provide any additional consequences.
Earlier this week, Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti told a Senate committee he hopes Turkey would reconsider its decision to purchase the S-400 system.
Scaparrotti, who also serves as NATO’s top commander, pointed to several problems the Russian system poses, including lack of interoperability with NATO systems and said the S-400 is “a problem to all of our aircraft, but specifically the F-35, I believe.”
After protracted efforts to purchase air defense systems from the US with no success, Ankara decided in 2017 to buy Russian S-400 air defense systems.
The move was criticized by the Pentagon, which warned that purchasing the S-400 would hurt Turkish-US relations and Turkey’s role in NATO.
Washington has cautioned the S-400 system might covertly obtain critical information on the advanced fighter jets, including their detection range, which could then be relayed to Russia.
But Turkish officials said Ankara would not go back on its agreement with Russia, even if it were to also buy the Patriot system.
Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar stressed Ankara purchasing the S-400s from Russia is “not a choice but a necessity.”
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said last week Ankara and Washington have begun negotiating the potential purchase of Patriot missile defense systems from the US.
The State Department approved in December a possible $3.5 billion sale of Patriot systems to Turkey that includes advanced radar systems, control centers, launching systems, and guided missiles.
Ankara is planning to purchase 100 F-35 fighter jets from the US pending congressional approval, and its pilots are currently training on the weapons platform at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.
Turkish firms also supply the F-35 program with key components, including airframe structures and assemblies, and the center fuselages.
On Wednesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara finalized a deal on purchasing the S-400 missile system from Russia, and that in the future “we may work with S-500s,” the next-generation Russian missile system.
Akar added starting this October, the S-400 systems will be installed in Turkey, adding that the Turkish Air Force is working on where to deploy the missiles.

In 1485, Leonardo da Vinci made the sketches of one of the first armored war vehicle. In spite of the brilliant idea, the armored vehicle did not become a reality till the First World War. During that period the British renovated 16 armored trucks into armored car. The cars were used by the British army as well as the Tsarist Russian Army in the war. Even though the armored cars were proved to be very efficient, it was not that reliable during that period of time. After the First World War, every nation wanted to build a working and reliable armored vehicle and the evolution of the armored cars took off.
Where Did The Journey Start?
The concept of the armored cars existed from the very day man fought war against each other. The Greek invented a somewhat armored vehicle known as Phalanx and the Romans implemented siege engines to war. From Leonardo da Vinci to H.G. Wells, everybody imagined a different model of armored vehicle. Like all the inventions, the evolution of armored cars also took many dangerous curves and was heavily criticized by the newspapers.
Types of Armored Vehicles
The first armored vehicle was powered by a forty five horse powered engine. The weight of the vehicle was almost 40 tons. Only three people could have sit in the vehicle with the only one 30 caliber machine gun.
Holt tractors were considered to an important part of the evolution of the tank. These tractors demonstrated a system that was known as the caterpillar track. That system later became extremely important as it was considered ideal for the movements of the heavy armored vehicles.
Royal navy developed a prototype tank during the First World War, known as Little Willie. Six army personnel were required to maneuver the tank. The maximum speed of the tank was 2 miles per hour which was a reason for concern.
After the war was over, a new design for the armored car came into existence. Known as the peerless lorry, this vehicle was tough. The Austin Company produced the armor of the vehicle. The design they followed was invented for the Russians at the time of the war. The vehicle became unpopular due to its poor performance off the road.
New Era of Armored Vehicle
In 1930 an American engineer Walter Christie developed a new design for the armored vehicles. In his new design Christie changed the axis of movement from vertical to horizontal. This improved the cross country movement of the vehicles. It also facilitated the efficacy that the armored vehicle had in the war.
This was the point from where new designs for the modern armored cars were being developed. Even though the warfare is becoming more and more technology dependent, the relevance of the armored vehicle in war is still not lost.
Instead, today’s modern armored vehicles take a major part in the technological warfare. Armored vehicles such as Challenger 2 have the best armor while tanks such as K2 have some of the most advanced fire-control systems. They can even shoot a helicopter down from the sky. | weapons_science |

Unlike a sword used for military purposes, the diplomat had no provision for the type or sword he could carry, so it was quite common to find a wide range of swords at these ambassadors. For the sake of simplicity and tradition, early American diplomats generally made a small sword modern after a late 18th or early 19th century design. The weapon's knife would be somewhere between 36-38 inches. It is generally considered that the sword of the early diplomat falls into one of two categories.
1830-1850: The sword that was most prominent to the American diplomat during this time presented a straight blade that narrowed evenly on both sides to a good point. The leaf was triangular in shape, with each of the three sides hollow. The lower part of the leaf was covered with various decorative elements, including military emblems and floral designs. This sword also contained a pommel that was finely decorated, with two female heads and two lion heads. Flow around these heads was more floral and wreath. The hilt contained gilt brass, and was surrounded by a knock-bow.
1850-1865: The sword most prominent for the US diplomat during this time was quite similar to the sword discussed above, but with noticeable difference in the hilt. This sword had several functions in common with its predecessor, including a triangular blade etched with military designs. An important note about this sword, however, was that the etching on the blade was far inferior to the previous design. Pommel was again ornately decorated, this time with roll design. The counterbalance of this sword was emblazoned with a distinct American eagle and star design, surrounded by a floral pattern.
The sword in this period also had small variations within this time frame; including a model that had a leaf that is not blued, as both the other examples are. The grips of the latter creation are also decorated in different ways, as well as pommel. The impressive etched eagle and star emblem are missing from this sword and replaced with less spectacular floral and wreath work.
American diplomats and foreign addicts have adorned a sword in their formal regals for many generations, and this tradition continues to this day. Although it is generally only a formal ceremony, military officials, high-ranking police officers and officials continue to carry a sword as a symbol of strength, honor and tradition. | weapons_science |

A Quick Guide to Guns
(Information from the Illinois State Police presentation to INBA on March 23, 2013 in Springfield, Illinois)
Guns- an overall term generic term for firearms. Another generic term is "weapons."
(Illinois State Police Sgt. Greg Hacker demonstrates weapons most commonly used in sport hunting and law enforcement)They are divided into two types:
- Hand guns are those that can be easily held in one hand.
- Pistols are fed through a magazine typically loaded at the base of the gun
- Revolvers have a multi-chambered cylinder generally on top of the gun
- Long guns have a longer barrel and are generally meant for longer-range shots.
- Rifles have grooves on the inside of the barrel, and fire bullets
- Shotguns have smooth barrels, and can fire multiple types of ammunition.
- The ISP suggests that if law enforcement on the scene is not specific, call it a long gun.
(Illinois State Police Lt. Steve Lyddon shows some of the most common weapons used by officers and sport hunters)
Magazine not interchangeable with the term "clip" which is a type of loading device. A magazine is a container, fixed or detachable, which holds cartridges to be fed into the gun's chamber.
Semi-automatic weapons immediately load another bullet into the chamber as soon as you press the trigger to fire, but you must press the trigger each time. Most pistols are semi-automatic weapons.
Automatic weapons fire constantly as long as you hold the trigger and ammunition is available. Fully automatic weapons are illegal in Illinois without a special license.
Select-fire weapons allow the owner to choose automatic or semi-automatic fire.
There is no law enforcement definition of "assault weapon."
- Collapsible or folding stock (the butt of the rifle or shotgun)
- The size or nature of the pistol grip
- The presence of a bayonet lug
- A compensator, silencer or flash suppressor
Reporters were invited to tour the FBI Headquarters in Springfield. Many of the morning's participants took part in the tour. | weapons_science |

While it is easy to walk into a store and buy one off the shelf, a smart buyer should do some research and think about his or her situation. Since most people do not know what to look for, it is wise for a buyer to take the time to think about his or her wants and needs. When doing so, a shopper can find the best deal for the situation. Here are seven questions a potential buyer should ask before buying an airgun.
How will I use the gun? Some people will want to use an airgun to go hunting while others will want to shoot in competitions. Other times, a buyer will want to go on general shooting outings with his or her airgun. One must take this further though. For example, when using the gun for hunting, a buyer should consider what he or she will hunt. When hunting a larger animal, a buyer will need to buy a gun with enough power. On the other hand, when hunting squirrels, one can get away with a smaller weapon. Either way, with this basic question, a person will have no trouble finding his or her airgun. Remember, when going to the store or heading online, it is wise to read reviews as a hunter or target shooter will provide his or her opinion and one can understand exactly how a gun will work in a given situation. This is important to get real-world examples as a buyer will know how a gun will truly feel for the situation.
How strong are you? Now, a strong person will have no trouble using an airgun. A smaller individual will not have trouble either, but they will have to work a little harder when pulling the trigger and shooting. With a spring powered gun, one can see the effort required measured in pounds. Either way, this is hard to understand without testing a gun or two. Ideally, a potential buyer should test a friend’s gun or go to a shop and rent one. With this quick and easy step, a consumer can truly determine if a gun works for his or her situation. One must remain cautious and avoid getting a gun that is too heavy and large as it will make it extremely hard to use in the long run.
Do you want to kill pests? As mentioned, one should decide if they want to use the airgun to hunt. If this is the case, one must buy an air rifle as it will have enough power to allow someone to kill a pest with ease. However, it is possible to use an air pistol, but it will require a stronger caliber to do so reliable. When choosing a caliber to kill pests, one should choose at between .25 and .22. In the end, unless one has a strong preference, they should choose .22 as it is the most widely available pellet while still offering reliability. Not only that, .22 pellets are cheaper than other pellets such as the .25.
Do you want a repeater? When looking to get an automatic gun, one should look for one with a repeater. While it is hard to find these models, it is not as hard as it was in the past. In reality, most people who use an airgun will not want this feature, but it is something to consider as some people love shooting with the feel of a semiautomatic gun. However, this is a wise choice for someone who does not hunt and wants to simply play around with his or her gun.
Do you want a scope? Just like with a normal gun, one can get a scope on an airsoft gun. While most come with an open sight, a lot of people want more out of the gun. For this reason, a buyer who wants to add a scope should make sure that the gun is set up in a way that accepts scopes. Otherwise, a gun owner will have an almost impossible time adding a scope. Since most people will want scopes, it is something that one must consider in the long run as they will have a hard time selling a gun without one.
Do I want quality? Believe it or not, some buyers will look at the quality of the guns. This is important. In the past, most airguns where made the same way and a person did not have to worry about high or low quality. But, now, many manufacturers have started to concentrate on quality. Not only that, a higher end model will have things like recoilless operation and caliber interchangeability. If this is important to a buyer, he or she should consider investing some more money and buying a high-end model.
How much power do I need? Now, it is often tempting for a buyer to go with an extremely powerful gun. While this is fun in the beginning, it is wise to choose the right power and the right feel. To do this one should consider what they are shooting and how much recoil they can handle. At the same time, when thinking about how much power one wants, they will have to think about the energy required. For example, when looking for a lot of power to kill a rabbit, one may have to pump their gun up to 10 times. While this is not a negative in itself, one must realize that it takes a lot of work to pump a gun, and a buyer should be ready to do this often.
When buying an airsoft gun, a person must ask a lot of questions. Otherwise, a person may end up with a product that does not meet his or her needs. So remember, go out, read reviews, test guns and make sure to understand what you want and need out of the experience.

“This is a momentum that we shall no longer buy weapons and shift to modernize our weaponry system,” Jokowi said after leading Bhayangkara’s 69th anniversary ceremony at Depok Mobile Brigade Headquarter on Wednesday, July 01, 2015.
According to Jokowi, the domestic defense industry must be involved in productions, operational, maintenance and disposal of outdated weapon and defense system. Jokowi added that the weaponry and defense system procurement must head toward to the industry’s independence, so that Indonesia could fully control its weaponry and defense system.
“I also wish to reinforce the zero accident system in using alutsista,” he added.
Jokowi said that fighter jets, transport planes, submarines, helicopters and personnel who operate them must always be in a high level of readiness.

The New York Times published an editorial today, Pakistan’s Nuclear Folly, discussing the alarming buildup of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. Pakistan increasing its nuclear capabilities only increases worries that extremists will topple the government and have access to these weapons, or Pakistan will engage in nuclear war with its rival, India. Bilateral talks must resume between India and Pakistan regarding nuclear weapons. The United States and Russia have set a precedent in a nuclear arms treaty, New START, to lower their nuclear warheads. India and Pakistan must create more transparency and open lines of communication to create some sort of arms-control negotiation.
“Pakistan can’t feed its people, educate its children, or defeat insurgents without billions of dollars in foreign aid. Yet, with China’s help, it is now building a fourth nuclear reactor to produce more weapons fuel.”
“Slowing and reversing that arms race is essential for regional and global security. Washington must look for points of leverage and make this one of its strategic priorities.” | weapons_science |

In case you missed: Part I, Part II
On the 9th of August, 1945 at 1:00AM Soviet forces began their attack against to Japanese Kwantung Army. Rather than launching a massive brutal assault, the Soviets began their campaign using stealth and the element of surprise. The attack began when groups of special assault teams (commandos) infiltrated enemy lines, capturing key objectives such as command posts, supply depots, pillboxes, and transportation routes. The Japanese were taken by surprise to the point that Japanese soldiers were captured by Soviet forces while sleeping in their barracks.
The stealthy assault by the Soviet commandos wrought chaos and confusion among the Japanese lines. Moreover the Soviets gained key objectives that would make the main assault much easier. By dawn of August 9th, the main Soviet assault began. The Japanese tactic was to man a series of heavy fortifications to hold off the assault. While this strategy worked well against the Americans on the confines tropical islands that provide excellent defensive terrain and hindered maneuverability, it was a lousy strategy for the open country of Manchuria. The Soviets were well adapted to combat in open country after years of fighting the Germans on the Russian plains. Not to mention, Japanese fortifications and defenses were nowhere near the quality of Germans. Veteran Soviet artillery units pounded Japanese hard points from a distance. Soviet tanks bashed through Japanese fortifications and trenches as Soviet infantry with bombs, grenades, and flamethrowers dealt with machine gun nests and pillboxes. One common tactic was to have a Soviet tank approach a machine gun pillbox, drawing its fire. Soviet infantry armed with flamethrowers would then blast the pillbox with flames, cooking the defenders inside. The Soviets considered Japanese minefields crude and simplistic compared to that which they had dealt with when fighting the Germans. They caused little delay and few casualties.
Perhaps the Japanese’ biggest weakness was their lack of armored forces. The Soviets had over 5 times the number of tanks as the Kwantung Army. More importantly, Soviet tanks were bigger, better, and tougher. The two most common Soviet tanks used in the operation was the T-34 medium tank (top pic) and the American Sherman tank supplied to the Soviets via Lend Lease (bottom pic).
By Contrast Japanese tanks were small, lightly armed, poorly built, and few in number. The most common Japanese tank was the Type 97 tank. Sporting a short barreled 57mm gun, it was not powerful enough to pierce the armor of the Soviet T-34 or Sherman, nor could it match them in range. Often, Soviet vs. Japanese tank battles involved Soviet tanks destroying Japanese tanks from hundreds of yards away, well out of the range of Japanese guns. Those Japanese tanks that could get close enough often saw their shells merely bounce off of Soviet Armor. Worse yet, Japanese tanks were built with riveted armor. Often when a rivet sustained a hit, it would bounce and ricochet within the tank cabin, turning its crew into a mess of blood and gore.
The use of tanks, heavy artillery, and skillfull infantry tactics allowed the Soviets to smash through the Japanese lines. On the 1st Far Eastern Front the Soviets broke through and captured the city of Mudanjiang after only 4 days. The Transbaikal Front in the west faced more difficult fighting in the heavily fortified mountains. However using superior mobility the Soviets quickly surrounded the Japanese defenders and trapped them in a small pocket. After a few days of fighting, the Soviets opened up with a massive artillery bombardment using 2,230 guns and several hundred katyusha rocket launchers. Then 80 heavy bombers of the Soviet Air Force swept in and dropped 120 tons of bombs. After the massive bombardment, the surrounded Japanese did what no other Japanese army did in history; they surrendered.
In the meantime, Soviet operations grew to encompass all of Manchuria. The Soviet Air Force initiated a bombing campaign against key targets such as military bases, fortifications, supply bases, railroads, and factories. Soviet fighters kept up a constant patrol across Manchuria, hunting down aircraft from the Japanese air force and destroying targets of opportunity. Soviet paratroopers were dropped behind enemy lines to harass the Japanese and capture supply posts, communications centers, command posts, and air fields. Soviet Marines captured and occupied key ports along the Manchurian and Korean coast, denying the Japanese vital supplies from Japan.
After the chaos and destruction wrought by the Soviet military over the course of a mere 5 day, the Kwantung commander, Gen. Otozo Yamada ordered all forces to pull back to the Japanese secondary line of defense in the Manchurian central plains. It was there that Yamada planned to make his final stand and fight to the death. | weapons_science |

Another question would be, "What exactly is an 'assault weapon'?
Seems to me, any gun that shoots you could be called an 'assault weapon'. What is the difference between a black gun with a mean looking stock, and any other rifle or handgun?
Some of you people should seriously educate yourselves on the actual definitions of the words you use so freely, and inocrrectly.
There are really 3 types of guns.
1) Automatic weapons, of which are mostly illegal for citizens to own.
2) Semi-automatic weapons, of which MOST every sporting and self defense weapon is classified as.
3) Single fire weapons, which are lever or bolt action rifles or single fire revolvers, or pump action shotguns.
Now, personally, of those 3, the gun I would least like to be shot with is a 12 gauge pump shotgun. Which interestingly is NOT classified as a 'semi-automatic assault weapon.'
People, seriously, educate yourselves before you parrot the same ridiculous words that the mass media spouts to scare the sheeple of this country, also know as your fellow citizens.
Educate yourselves and THEN make a decision on what your position is on all these 'assault weapons', of which there is no such thing.
Please, do some research.

Hydrogen bombs, or thermonuclear bombs, are more powerful than atomic or “fission” bombs. The difference between thermonuclear bombs and fission bombs begins at the atomic level. Fission bombs, like those used to devastate the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima during World War II, work by splitting the nucleus of an atom.
Sep 03, 2017 · A hydrogen weapon uses an initial nuclear fission explosion to create a tremendous pulse that compresses and fuses small amounts of deuterium and tritium, kinds of hydrogen, near the heart of the bomb. The swarms of neutrons set free can ramp up the explosive chain reaction of a uranium layer wrapped around it,
There’s a major difference between a hydrogen bomb and an atomic bomb. But it’s clear some kind of nuclear blast happened. A hydrogen bomb is different than a regular atomic bomb, like the ones the US dropped on Japan near the end of World War II. Collectively, the two A-bombs that the US detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed more than 200,000 people.
An Atomic bomb produces it’s explosive energy from nuclear fission. A Hydrogen bomb produces it’s explosive energy from nuclear fusion. The last 3 choices are incorrect. The first one could be correct but we have no way to know. A hydrogen bomb differs from …
An atomic bomb uses either uranium or plutonium and relies on fission, a nuclear reaction in which a nucleus or an atom breaks apart into two pieces. To make a hydrogen bomb, one would still need uranium or plutonium as well as two other isotopes of hydrogen, called deuterium and tritium.
Members of the communist party that were accused of helping give Soviets the plans for the atomic bomb.

As with all other infantry, a Yak or a Hind can kill rocket soldiers almost instantly before it even fires back. However, a small group of rocket soldiers (3-4) are extremely effective at taking down aircraft. A rocket soldier's anti-air range is much farther than its sight radius, so it should be paired with units that have good line of sight for optimal anti-air defense.
The Rocket soldier and the AA gun are the only ground-based allied anti-air units. The AA gun is far superior at doing that, but it is not mobile.
If a group of rocket soldiers is too large, it can be susceptible to a Yak suicide attack. A yak can kill a few rocket soldiers before being taken down, and it can then crash-land on the remaining group, killing many more. For a smaller group, this is harder for the opponent to execute, and is not always cost-effective. A yak costs 1350, and 4 rocket soldiers cost 1200. | weapons_science |

The Sea Fury was a British fighter aircraft that was developed for the British Royal Navy during World War II, good if you need to rent private jet parts.
B-17 Yankee Lady
The award winning B-17G Yankee Lady is the finest example of this type of aircraft still flying in the world today. The Boeing B-17, nicknamed the "Flying Fortress", was a long range heavy bomber that was given the task of destroying enemy war facilities through precision strategic bombardment in World War II.
Rides on the Yankee Lady will be available at the show for a fee.
The original "Panchito", named after the feisty rooster from Disney's animated musical The Three Caballeros, was a bomber with the 396th Bomb Squadron, 41st Bomb Group, 7th Air Force, stationed in the Central Pacific. After several attacks on various Japanese strongholds in Southern Japan as well as Japanese help Eastern China, she was scheduled for another bombing run to Japan on the day the Japanese surrendered.
P-51 Mustang QuickSilver
The P-51 Mustang is an American single-seat fighter aircraft that the Allied Forces used during World War II and the Korean War. In addition to being economical to produce, P-51's were fast and highly durable aircraft.
The QuickSilver Mustang 51 HY, "The Resurrected Veteran", is the result of a fourteen-year reconstruction program. The pain scheme is a flying celebration of this nation's veterans, and those who give the ultimate sacrifice.
P-47 private charter jet parts and why they are great!
As one of the main United States Army Air Force fighters used in World War II, the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was effective in both air combat and on the ground. It was the largest single-engine fighter of its time period and, when loaded to capacity, could weight upwards of eight tons. Airworthy War birds are the foundation of the aircraft collection at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation. This museum is said to be the only place in the country where two airworthy P-47 Thunderbolts are based. There are less than a dozen of these rare airplanes currently flying in the United States.
Medal of Honor AC-47 gunship
The Douglas AC-47, nicknamed "Spooky", was the first in a series of gunships developed by the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. "Spooky" is restored as Airmen 1st Class John L. Levitow's Medal of Honor gunship. Levitow was a AC-47 loadmaster who won the Medal of Honor on a February 24, 1969 mission. The Douglas AC-47 "Spooky" was used in basic missions to defend ground positions, escort and patrol, and forward air controlling for fighter strikes.
1936 Lockheed 12a Electra Junior
This eigh-seat, six-passenger all-metal aircraft was primarily used by smaller airlines and private owners. Continental Airlines used them as their primary aircraft in the late 1930s. Only 130 were manufactured. This aircraft is used as the "hero" plane in the upcoming film "Amelia."
Foreseeing the need to replace its fleet of F-4 Phantoms, the US Air Force issued the FX requirement for a long-range air superiority fighter in 1965. Performance requirements called for beyond visual range air-to-air capability, close-in dog fighting capability, twin engines, an internal gun, sufficient ferry range to deploy to Europe without refueling, and a maximum speed of Mach 2.5. McDonnell Douglas was selected over rivals North American and Fairchild Republic to build what would become the F-15 Eagle.
The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota is a military transport that was developed from the Douglas DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II and remained in front line operations through the 1950s with a few remaining in operation to this day.
The Fairchild PT-19 was a USA Fairchild Aircraft monoplane primary trainer aircraft that served with the United States Army Air Forces, RAF and RCAF during World War II. It was a contemporary of the Kaydet biplane trainer and was used by the USAAF during Primary Flying Training as the introductory pre-solo phase trainer for introducing new pilots to flying before passing them on to the more agile Kaydet.
Boeing PT-17 Stearman
The Stearman is a biplane, of which at least 9,783 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s as a military trainer aircraft. Stearman became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman or Kaydet, it served as a Primary trainer for the USAAF, as a basic trainer for the USN (as the NS1 & N2S), and with the RCAF as the Kaydet throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civil market. In the immediate post-war years they became popular as crop dusters and as sports planes.
At the beginning of World War II, the U.S. Navy evaluated modified civilian aircraft for use as aerial ambulances. It was a descendant of the famous J-3 Cub, but with a wider fuselage, larger engine, and improved landing gear. | weapons_science |

Mines are primarily used for the defense of each teams' base structures and critical building facilities. Deploy mines at building entrances and choke-points to protect your base and to prevent enemy infantry from easily infiltrating and destroying a building from the inside. A proximity mine will detonate when an enemy player comes into close proximity to it. Each mine when detonated deals damage to the enemy unit through a small explosive charge and will also deal a small amount of radial blast damage to any other enemy infantry caught in the blast radius, so it is advisable to stagger the distance between players when running through mined areas.
Mines are typically deployed in clusters of 3 per doorway, however there a number of exceptions and custom deployment options for unique buildings such as the Nod Airstrip, Hand of Nod and GDI Barracks. On certain flying maps additional access points and ramps are fitted to buildings which provide additional ways to gain access to a structure which must be taken into consideration and mined appropriately. Each map will have a specific number of mines available for each team to use in order to protect their buildings which is indicated on the lower HUD display in-game. Due to the limited number of mines available to each team, great care must be taken to mine efficiently and effectively using your available mines to provide maximum protection to buildings without exceeding the limit.
Warning: When the mine limit is exceeded, any prior mines that were placed first will disappear and become recycled. Exceeding the mine limit without understanding the consequences will result in leaving buildings exposed to enemy infiltration and attack.
Enemy proximity mines can be safely disarmed by either directing and firing the repair gun at each mine or by throwing an EMP Grenade that detonates around the mines. The repair gun is available specifically to the Engineer, Hotwire and Technician classes or through the purchase of an individual Repair Tool available in the item purchase menu from team purchase terminals. The advanced engineer class (Hotwire/Technician) will disarm mines considerably quicker than a normal engineer. Likewise a normal engineer will disarm mines faster than the repair tool. EMP Grenades are to be found within the weapon inventory of specific character including the Laser Chain-gunner, Gunner, Ravshaw and Sydney respectively.
Whatever method you decide to use, be sure to adapt your tactics accordingly.

Britain has a plan to upgrade the Challenger 2 tank and extend its life for another 20 years. Initially introduced in 1998, the Challenger 2 has served faithfully in armed conflicts (mostly in the Middle East) and safeguarded Britain's interests abroad.
Tanks are a little different from cars in that they’re both A.) extremely well armed, and B.) extremely expensive. For this reason, they tend to stick around a lot longer without a refresh than most automobiles. The current plan is to upgrade the Challenger 2 with a new turret, engine, main gun, night vision gear, communications equipment, and an active protection system that shoots down incoming rockets.
However, that stuff is also incredibly expensive, and so the British army can only afford to upgrade 148 of their current fleet of 227 tanks with the remainder likely to be mothballed or cannibalized for parts. According to the Times of London, that puts Britain just behind Cambodia in terms of tanks fielded (although the Challenger 2 is worth many times more than the Soviet-era T-55 tanks that Cambodia uses).
The Challenger 2 is currently equipped with a 26.1-L Perkins V12 diesel engine producing 1,200 horsepower. It also weighs almost 83 tons, so even with 1,200 horses it’s still not winning any drag races. It’s also armed with a 120mm rifled cannon and armored using Dorchester 2 armor, the exact nature of which remains classified.
We know that the Challenger 2 is an incredibly tough tank. During the 2003 Iraq invasion, only one Challenger was lost and that was due to an IED. One story reported by the BBC recounted a Challenger in an urban environment that lost its periscopes in an enemy ambush and then fell into a ditch. It was hit by 14 RPGs and a MILAN anti-tank missile, all of which failed to penetrate the Challenger’s armor. The entire crew survived and the tank was put back into operation just 6 hours after the incident.
In fact, the only Challenger 2 that has been lost in combat was due to another Challenger 2 accidentally mistaking it for an enemy combatant. And then it was only destroyed because the commander’s hatch was open, which allowed shrapnel from the cannon blast to ignite a fire inside the tank that eventually cooked-off its stored ammunition.
With just 148 tanks, the Brits are now down to just three armored regiments, but that’s unlikely to concern politicians all that much. Most combat today is fought in small-scale engagements against enemy insurgents where the power of a main battle tank isn’t called for. | weapons_science |

The air-portable guns, which were delivered in kit form in early February to Nexter’s Malaysian partner, Advanced Defence Systems (ADS), are currently being assembled in the southern state of Johor ahead of delivery to the Malaysian Army, a defence official told Jane’s on 9 March.
All 18 artillery pieces were originally expected to be handed over to ADS by February 2020, but deliveries were delayed, as the Malaysian government that took over following the May 2018 general election ordered a review of defence contracts signed by the previous administration.
As a result, the contract for the LG1 howitzers was re-approved earlier this year following the review, with the remaining 12 guns now expected to be delivered to ADS in two batches later this year.
The LG1 howitzers will be operated by the Malaysian Army’s 1st Royal Artillery Regiment, which currently fields Oto Melara Model 56 105 mm pack howitzers. Six other artillery regiments are also equipped with these Oto Melara guns, of which about 100 units are estimated to be in service.
The contract for the guns was signed on 18 April 2018 at the Defence Services Asia exhibition in Kuala Lumpur.
The contract includes the supply of fully digitised 105 LG1 Mk III Light Guns, the BACARA compact portable ballistic computer (for use at battery level), as well as a first batch of 105 mm high-explosive, base-bleed, extended-range G3 ammunition (105 mm HE BB ER G3), which can be fired to a range of up to 17 km.
The LG1 howitzer is a 105 mm towed artillery piece that features both low weight and a high level of accuracy over long distances. Its lightweight construction gives the barrel a relatively short lifespan. The equivalent full charge (EFC) count is suggested to be approximately 7,500; however, during fire and practice, has yielded only around 1,500 EFCs. The gun was specifically designed for use by rapid deployment forces with attributes such as ruggedness, ease of operation and reduced weight. It can fire all NATO standard 105 mm ammunition up to a range of 18.5 and 19.5 kilometres (11.5 and 12.1 mi) using HE-ER G2 and US M913 rounds.
The gun has been used by the Belgian Army, Canadian Army, Colombian National Army, Indonesian Army, Singapore Army and the Royal Thai Army.
Current service version with Canadian artillery is the LG1 Mark II, of which 28 were purchased for the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (RCHA). Giat supplied the first howitzers in 1996 and fielding was complete by November 1997.

After President Trump ordered 59 cruise missiles to bomb the Sharyat air base in Syria, I was rather ambivalent toward the strike. I felt a mixture of relief and apprehension: relief that Trump, despite previous statements, had chosen to at least address the cruelty of the Assad regime, but also apprehension that his steps to do so may have just mired him in a conflict he doesn’t have the desire to see through to the end.
However, the recent attack at Khan Sheikoun, which claimed 80 lives, has revealed an additional insight into Trump’s recent missile strike on Syria: it was ultimately meaningless. Intelligence gathered from first-hand accounts of the attack has indicated a fundamental shift in the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons. Namely, this was the first attack since 2013 in which the Assad regime used sarin, a nerve agent that can cause fatal convulsions or seizures, even after mild exposure.
The use of sarin, as Khan Sheikoun suggests, indicates that Assad’s chemical weapons program is far more extensive than intelligence experts and policymakers believed. In the wake of the 2013 chemical attack in the Ghouta district outside of Damascus, the U.S. and Russia backed a plan by which Syria would give up its chemical stockpiles. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)would then transport and dismantle them under international supervision. By spring of 2014, the Obama administration reported that all of Syria’s reported chemical weapons had been removed from the country. Since then, the Syrian government has used chlorine gas on rebels on multiple occasions.
While the use of chlorine gas in warfare is still a gross violation of international norms, the use of sarin is fundamentally different. Chlorine gas is a skin irritant that, although still a chemical weapon, can be produced rather easily. Sarin, on the other hand, is a complicated nerve agent that takes considerable resources to produce. The Assad regime’s possession of such a complicated chemical weapon puts one harsh reality in plain view: Syria’s chemical weapons program is quite extensive and here to stay for now.
If President Trump truly wants to punish Assad and prevent future chemical attacks, he must accept that Syria’s chemical weapons program is still quite extensive and that it will take a considerable commitment to cripple it. However, it’s doubtful that a president who campaigned on pulling the U.S. out of the Middle East would be willing to carry through with this commitment. As a result, Trump’s recent missile strike amounts to little more than bluster, a particularly explosive statement with no real policy to back it up. If President Trump carries out further strikes on Syria in response to its use of chemical weapons, he must heed the intelligence that points to a much more extensive Syrian chemical weapons program. Any further strikes, which would further drag the U.S. into an incredibly complicated crisis, must be part of a cohesive and rationally measured strategy to deter Assad from using chemical weapons or cripple his ability to deliver them; in such a complicated environment mere bluster can only bring disaster.

There does not seem to be enough inventory in this world for the needs of a large peer-to-peer war, especially when it comes to artillery ammo and missiles.
As it stands now in the ground, Russia has a 7-1 superiority in artillery, and is also vastly overpowering when it comes to missiles and, lately, the ‘smart loitering munitions’. Ukrainian forces are reportedly at the brink of collapse.
Meanwhile, a race is on to procure and secure ammo and missiles by both warring parties and their allies (and handlers).
Geopolitical and economic threats get issues from side to side: the US and western allies, warn Iran – Russia warns Japan.
And meanwhile North Korean ‘rocket man’ Jim Jong Un has sent Moscow boatloads of containers filled with the goods.
The US and allies threaten brand new sanctions on Iran if it provides close-range ballistic missiles to Russia.
Associated Press reported:
“The U.S. has yet to confirm that missiles have moved from Iran to Russia. But U.S. officials are alarmed by comments by Iranian officials that suggest that a deal is imminent.”
G7 countries may prohibit Iran Air, the country’s national air carrier, from flying to Europe.
“’Were Iran to proceed with providing ballistic missiles or related technology to Russia, we are prepared to respond swiftly and in a coordinated manner including with new and significant measures against Iran’, the G-7 leaders said in a statement.”
Iran says there are no legal restrictions to prevent ballistic missile sales, but says that it is ‘morally obligated to refrain from weapon transactions during the Russia-Ukraine conflict to prevent fueling the war’.
“’We’ve sent very clear messages to Iran to not do it, this is a subject of considerable conversation among a number of countries in Europe and the United States and I think that the concern about that eventuality and the need to address it, if necessary, is very real and very strong’, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a news conference on Friday in Vienna.”
The Iranian ‘Shahed’ kamikaze drones, called ‘Geran’ in Russia, have been a major Russian asset in this conflict.
In a mirrored action, Russia warns Japan via diplomatic channels of consequences in the event of transferring Patriot system defense missiles that could end up in Ukraine.
“‘When in December 2023 the administration of [Japanese Prime Minister] Fumio Kishida achieved a legislative relaxation of national rules for the export of military products – for the sake of supplying Patriot missiles assembled in the country under license to Washington – we directly warned the Japanese side through Ambassador to Moscow Muto that we have no doubt about the ultimate beneficiary of such a decision – the Kiev regime’, [Diplomat Sergey] Zhestkii said.
He added that ‘such an assistance in further pumping up the Ukrainian armed forces with weapons will be unequivocally regarded as Tokyo’s complicity in Kiev’s criminal actions, which only lead to an increase in the number of victims’.
Moreover, the Russian Foreign Ministry had intentionally invited to the ministry ‘the head of the Russian branch of the Japanese Foreign Ministry, who was in Moscow for consultations with his embassy, for a detailed briefing on the situation around Ukraine’, the Russian official said.”
While all this is going on, Russia’s Putin and North Korea Kim Jong Un have set a real pipeline of inventory. Read: The Putin-Kim Alliance in Action: Rail Traffic Between the Countries Spike, After Reported Beginning of North Korean Weapons and Ammunitions Deliveries to Russia.
Now, things seem to have ramped up even more.
Time magazine reported:
“North Korea has shipped around 7,000 containers filled with munitions and other military equipment to Russia since last year to help support its war in Ukraine, South Korea’s defense minister said Monday.
[…] Since the start of 2022, North Korea has used Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a distraction to ramp up its weapons tests and has also aligned with Moscow over the conflict, as leader Kim Jong Un tries to break out of diplomatic isolation and join a united front against the United States.
U.S. and South Korean officials have accused North Korea of supplying Russia with artillery shells, missiles and other equipment in recent months to help fuel its war on Ukraine, saying that such arms transfers accelerated after a rare summit between Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin in September.
North Korea in exchange possibly received badly needed food and economic aid and military assistance aimed at upgrading Kim’s forces, according to South Korean officials and private experts. Both Moscow and Pyongyang have denied the existence of an arms deal between the countries.”

Who's Who in Scottish Military History - James Paris Lee
I am pretty confident that although you’ll have never heard of the Scot I’m posting about today you’ll certainly know his surname. That’s because this is the man who put the Lee into Lee Enfield.
James Paris Lee was born in Hawick in 1831 but it was in Canada and later the USA that he became famous for his rifles.
His family moved to Galt in Ontario when he was 5 and when he was 12 he built his first rifle.
In 1858 he had moved to Wisconsin just in time to design a rifle for the US Army during the American Civil War. This was a breech loading version of the Army’s standard Springfield rifle but unfortunately for Lee it was rejected for use during the war.
Undaunted he went on to perfect the spring-loaded magazine which is now the standard magazine design for all modern military small arms.
In 1879 he designed a rifle using the bolt and magazine layout which would become the standard which all rifle designs throughout the world would follow for the next seventy years.
In 1889 the British adopted Lee’s design for their .303 rifles and the Lee Metford and later the Lee Enfield were used in several variations up until 1957 as a front line rifle, and up until the 1990’s as the L42 sniper rifle. It was the rifle used by the British Empire and Commonwealth troops in both world wars and Korea.
When James Lee died in January 1904 the Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) was just entering British Army service. I’m sure he would never have imagined that his rifle would still be going strong 106 years later. You sometimes see it on news items being used by Indian Police, Nepalese Army or Afghan Militia. It's also still used by the Canadian Rangers. In fact the SMLE design is the longest serving military bolt-action rifle still in official service anywhere in the world and the total production of all Lee Enfields is estimated at over 16 million rifles.

Since the resources to invest in upgrades are limited, here are the most effective improvements.
Before leaving with the list of upgrades to be applied on the strongest weapons, we invite you to explore the map very carefully in search of any secret area and safe to open, so as to maximize the number of spare parts to be invested in the weapons.
Here are the four strongest weapons in the game:
This is perhaps Ellie's most useful weapon, as her arrows can not only be built by the player but can also be retrieved from the corpses with a little luck. Thanks to the bow you can take out the enemies with a well-placed blow and, for example, get rid of the dogs without the owners being able to guess your position. In the case of the bow, we suggest that you apply all the upgrades as soon as possible, so as to improve all aspects of the weapon and make it immediately more effective than it already is.
If the bow is fundamental for the stealth phases, when dealing with hordes of infected it is good to have a shotgun. This noisy firing mouth has great stopping power that allows you to keep clickers and stalkers at bay. To improve the weapon, you should improve its magazine capacity, speed of fire and stability, so as to make it lethal.
The double-barreled shotgun is another weapon with great stopping power, which however sins due to the quantity of bullets in the magazine, whose capacity cannot be increased in any way. However, this does not make the weapon less interesting, since when the enemies are few and more resistant it is certainly more useful than the shotgun. If you want to improve this piece of equipment, you should improve its damage, reload speed and stability.
It is a lethal weapon even on long range and capable of knocking down even the most resistant enemies on the spot. If you want to increase the firepower of the hunting pistol we suggest you apply the following enhancements: stability, damage and 4x sight.

Below, we endeavor to briefly highlight those requirements and other notable aspects of firearms exports.
- Not All Firearms are ITAR-Controlled. Non-automatic and semi-automatic firearms equal to .50 caliber (12.7 mm) or less, non-automatic and non-semi-automatic rifles, carbines, revolvers or pistols with a caliber greater than .50 inches (12.7 mm) but less than or equal to .72 inches (18.0 mm), and shotguns are all controlled under the EAR, thus availing exporters of such firearms of the EAR’s more liberal licensing regime.
- Licensing Exceptions for EAR-Controlled Firearms are Relatively Limited. Although the EAR typically allows for more license exceptions than the ITAR, Section 740 of the EAR contains a variety of limitations on the applicability of its exceptions to firearms, such as that contained in Subsection 740.2(a)(23), which prohibits the use of a license exception for certain firearms exports above $4,000,000).
- The Congressional Notification Threshold is Low. The export of most defense articles triggers a requirement for Congressional notification (and approval) for sales starting at $25,000,000, depending on the end user. However, the value threshold for an ITAR-controlled firearms export that requires Congressional notification and approval is comparatively low ($1,000,000) regardless of the end user.
- Import Authorizations May be Required. A permanent export license application for ITAR-controlled firearms must include an import authorization from the end user. Import authorizations are also required for certain exports of EAR-controlled firearms.
- Brokering Licenses are Always Required. Unlike many other types of defense articles, the brokering of ITAR-controlled firearms always requires prior approval from DDTC in the form of a brokering license.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki The Bombings On August 6,after 44 months of increasingly brutal fighting in the Pacific, an American B bomber loaded with a devastating new weapon appeared in the sky over Hiroshima, Japan. Minutes later, that new weapon—a bomb that released its enormous destructive energy by splitting uranium atoms to create a chain reaction—detonated in the sky, killing some 70, Japanese civilians instantly and leveling the city.
Three days later, the U. World War II had finally come to its dramatic conclusion. The decision to employ atomic weapons against Japan remains a controversial chapter in American history.
Even before the new President Harry S.
Were the atomic bombs necessary to end the World War II? Hiroshima is one of the most well known Japanese cities in the world as it is one of only two cities experienced atomic bomb dropping. I went to Hiroshima a couple years ago and visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. The atomic bomb, President Truman knew, might kill many thousands of innocent Japanese. But life for life, the odds were that it would cost less.” A textbook, The Americans, suggests that the decision to drop the bomb occurred largely outside moral concerns: “Should the Allies use the bomb . On the clear morning of August 6, the first atomic bomb, nicknamed One of the most controversial turning points in history was the decision made by U.S. President Harry S. Truman to use atomic weapons on Japan, the lone remaining Axis Power at the conclusion of World War II.
Their concerns revolved around a cluster of related issues: Controversy is Alive and Well The ongoing struggle to present the history of the atomic bombings in a balanced and accurate manner is an interesting story in its own right, and one that has occasionally generated an enormous amount of controversy.
That exhibit would place the invention of atomic weapons and the decision to use them against civilian targets in the context of World War II and the The atomic bomb a necessity or War, provoking broader questions about the morality of strategic bombing and nuclear arms in general.
The ongoing struggle to present the history of the atomic bombings in a balanced and accurate manner is an interesting story in its own right. The design for the exhibit quickly triggered an avalanche of controversy. Critics charged that it offered a too-sympathetic portrayal of the Japanese enemy, and that its focus on the children and elderly victims of the bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki encouraged visitors to question the necessity and morality of the weapons.
Their proposed exhibit portrayed the development of the atomic weapons as a triumph of American technical ingenuity, and the use of both bombs as an act that saved lives—the lives of American soldiers who would otherwise have had to invade the Japanese home islands, and the lives of thousands of Japanese who would, it was assumed, have fought and died with fanatic determination opposing such an invasion.
The revised exhibit removed the questioning tone of the original, replacing it with more certainty: When the controversy died down, the Smithsonian elected not to stage any exhibit of the aircraft fuselage. The historians who produced the original exhibit stood accused of historical revisionism by their critics, of needlessly complicating patriotic consensus with moral concerns.
The fallout from the controversy led to loud, public debate in the halls of Congress and, ultimately, to the resignation of several leaders at the museum. The Textbook Approach Because the use of the atomic weapons evokes such passionate responses from Americans—from those who believe that the use of the bombs was wholly justified to those who believe that their use was criminal, and the many people who fall somewhere in between—it is a particularly difficult topic for textbooks to discuss.
In order to avoid a potentially treacherous debate, textbooks have often adopted a set of compromises that describe the end of the war but avoid or omit some of the most difficult parts of the conversation.
A history textbook, produced just two years after the bombings did just this, sidestepping the controversy by presenting the story at a distance and refraining from interpretation or discussion of civilian casualties: Confronted by this combination of forces, Japan surrendered August The textbook A History of the United States adopts a familiar tone, arguing that President Truman based his decision to drop the bomb mainly on a complex calculus of the cost in human lives if the war were to continue: No one knew how long Japan would hold out.
The atomic bomb, President Truman knew, might kill many thousands of innocent Japanese. But life for life, the odds were that it would cost less. Truman did not hesitate. On July 25,he ordered the military to make final plans for dropping two atomic bombs on Japan.
I regarded the bomb as a military weapon and never had any doubt it should be used.
This group debated where the bomb should be used and whether the Japanese should be warned. After carefully considering all the options, Truman decided to drop the bomb on a Japanese city.
There would be no warning. More recent textbooks often offer viewpoints from other perspectives—including Japanese civilians, who suffered the legacy of atomic fallout for decades after the original explosion—from a morally neutral stance, inviting or directly asking readers to make their own judgments.
In fact, as the documentary record shows, there was a good deal of debate over the use of the weapons during the summer ofmuch of which focused on more complex issues than the lives that would be saved or lost in ending the war. A discussion that focuses primarily on the need to employ the bomb in order to save lives—the lives of Japanese civilians as well as those of American soldiers—is incomplete.The atomic bomb accomplished Truman's primary objective.
The attack on Hiroshima finally convinced Hirohito that the war must end, and his long-delayed conclusion was the decisive step in bringing.
Necessity of Dropping the Atomic Bomb to End World War II Words | 3 Pages. James Maddox argues that the atomic bomb was necessary to force the Japanese army to finally surrender and avoid a costly and heavy casualty war with Japan. On August 6, , the United States dropped the first atomic bomb over Hiroshima, Japan.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt passed away, vice president Harry S. Truman took his place. Soon after, Truman made the careless decision to use the atomic bomb against Japan. Other politicians of the time concurred that the bomb was necessary for ending the war and saving thousands of soldiers' lives.
This investigation focuses on the use and necessity of the atomic bomb in World War II. To what extent did the atomic bomb dropped by the United States during World War II save lives?
This will be investigated using websites, books, military accounts, and newspaper articles. There was no pressing military necessity for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan.. Few issues in American history - perhaps only slavery itself - are as charged as the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan.
Was it necessary? Merely posing the question provokes indignation, even rage. May 22, · Only the atomic bomb could jolt Japan's leadership to surrender.

They are, nonetheless, difficult to master without the existence of seasoned support or the dedication to tireless practice. With those ideas in mind, here is several long range scope shooting ideas on how to start your pursuit to professional marksmanship:
- Fit the rifle to on your own
Undoubtedly, this is the single essential factor when it concerns obtaining accuracy in long range shooting. If you forget this action in the process, you may too neglect the remainder of the pointers to adhere to. Long scope shooting trusts establishing uniformity– as well as even more especially upon establishing a regular accessory to the rifle every time you bring it to your shoulder.
- Align your body with the scope
Likewise, you must align your body with the scope consistently to attain maximum accuracy on the initial shot. Your body must be directly positioned directly behind the supply to absorb the recoil of that initial shot without tossing you from setting for subsequent ones.
- Change the ocular
Concentrating your eyepiece is largely based on you as the individual. To puts it simply, you MUST make the changes yourself as opposed to another person doing it for you Focus the reticle while considering a clear sky or a blank wall for the best outcomes. Likewise remember to prevent looking at the reticle itself while readjusting or your outcomes will certainly be substandard.
- Tackle parallax prior to it tackles you.
Like concentrating, parallax is the other sighting aspect that should be adjusted at every distance. Just approve this reality as well as recognize that it simply takes a little method to master. Always expect that small waviness in the reticle– transform the parallax adjustment all the way out to infinity and after that calmly brings it back in emphasis.
- Mount the scope appropriately
Of all the long scope shooting suggestions, this is one of those seemingly trivial matters that several shooters take for provided. The scope must be mounted to make sure that the reticle is definitely straight. Otherwise, the shooter will have to take care of an entire host of problems associated with the connection of their aim to the actual trajectory of the bullet.
- Calculate as well as change the BDC reticle
A lot of the tedious estimations are done for the shooter with the great piece of modern technology known as the bullet decrease making up scope. Still, the shooter needs to correctly input the particular caliber being shot and also at what specific elevation for the most exact outcomes. Ideally, take your technique shots on-site to adjust this particular adjustment.
- Understand the change dials
The farther away you intend on shooting, the more changes you’ll should make. It takes a great deal of technique and empirical experience– that indicates technique! to genuinely understand as well as be able to control the modification dials on your scope.
- Make up for wind
Shooting in the wind is even more of an art compared to it is a scientific research; although, the devices of the profession do make a tremendous distinction in succeeding at it. Really, the just real way to begin grasping long scope shooting in gusty conditions it is to spend a lot of time doing it. But hey– it is also a great deal of enjoyable mastering this aspect of the sport.
- Relax your body
Among the first things that any kind of brand-new shooter is instructed is how to manage their breathing. “Fire at all-time low of your exhale”– you’ve probably heard it a thousand times, as well as otherwise, you definitely will as you continue finding out. Your body is most loosened up now, and it gives you a typical reference point for all further shots. Do not hold this setting for too long, though; if the shot is not fired immediately, it could trigger tenseness and exhaustion. Just wait, take an additional breath, then fire.
- Complete the trigger follow-through
Believe it or otherwise, the shot is not over as soon as the trigger is pulled. You can still have a result on the bullet for that quick millisecond as it leaves the barrel– so stay still. Additionally bear in mind to keep in position till the shot strikes the target as you may have to take a 2nd shot.
- Have patience
As the stating goes, “Good ideas pertain to those that wait.” The mastery of long range shooting is no exception. With method and a little tenacity in learning your craft, an inexperienced shooter could become an expert marksman in just a year. Learning how to contend long scope may appear like a difficult difficulty but it need not be so. Comply with these simple long scope shooting pointers as well as you’ll be well on your method to shooting like a pro. | weapons_science |

Cyber-espionage teams linked to the North Korean government — known as ScarCruft and Lazarus — secretly installed digital backdoors into the systems at a rocket design bureau. The bureau, NPO Mashinostroyeniya, is located in Reutov, a town located just outside of Moscow. NPO Mashinostroyeniya is a sanctioned entity that "possesses confidential intellectual property on sensitive missile technology currently in use and under development for the Russian military," said SentinelLabs researchers in their report.
According to Reuters, missile experts say that NPO Mashinostroyeniya "has acted as a pioneer developer of hypersonic missiles, satellite technologies, and newer generation ballistic armaments," which are all strong areas of interest to North Korea and its missile programs.
It is currently unknown if data was stolen or what information may have been viewed by cyber-espionage teams; however, experts say that this incident shows how far isolated countries will go to acquire advanced technologies — even if it means turning their backs on allies.
Just months after the initial "digital break-in," officials in Pyongyang — the capital of North Korea — announced that significant developments had been made in the country's banned ballistic missile program. Whether or not those developments were due to possible information gleaned from the breach is unknown.
NPO Mashinostroyeniya, the Russian embassy in Washington, and North Korea's mission to the United Nations (UN) in New York have not made public comments regarding the breach. | weapons_science |

from U.S.Military Wheeled Vehicles:
Another cross-country three-wheeler tested by the army was the FN Model A.S. 24, built by Fabrique National D'Armes De Guerre in Herstal, Belgium. First offered in 1962, it was tested by the US Army in May 1963. It weighed 374 pounds, and could carry 770 pounds of men and equipment. Standing only 2 feet 10 inches high, it used a model FN 24 engine, which was a two-cylinder, two-stroke, 15 cubic inch engine developing 15 horsepower. The cross-country characteristics, compared with the three-wheel version of the Jeep, were enhanced somewhat by the 12x22 Lypsoid tires. Only one was obtained for test purposes.

First Rohani says:
If such an attack (against Iran’s atomic facilities) takes place then of course we will retaliate and we will definitely accelerate our activities to complete our (nuclear) fuel cycle.
This to me means they will accelerate their nuclear weapons program in order to use nuclear weapons in a counter-attack. But, just a few lines later you read this:
Iran says its nuclear program will be used to generate electricity, not make bombs.
So which is it? Are they doing this just to make electricity? Are they really up to no good and planning to use their facilities to produce weapons grade material? I think we all know the answer…. | weapons_science |

SST and Interbond annealing tutorial
The following video details how to anneal an SST or Interbond projectile as described amongst the cartridge texts of the knowledge base. Annealing can produce two benefits. In the first instance, it helps the frontal area of both the SST and IB to swage back after expansion, the frontal area folds back against the bullet shank and the reduced frontal area allows for much deeper penetration- but without sacrificing wound channel diameters.
In the second instance, at long range, the softer ogive gives faster expansion, imparting energy more readily, improving wound channel diameters. This helps the Interbond to create broad wounding at ranges of around 400 yards in various calibiers (as an example) while allowing the SST to produce admirable performance out to ranges exceeding 1000 yards.
Regarding the SST, please bare in mind, a high sectional density (long for caliber) SST is required for any increase in penetration at close ranges. For example, annealing the .277" 130 grain SST does not improve performance. Annealing the .277" 150 grain SST is a boon, making for a potent load in the .270 Winchester. Yet there is a catch. Annealing the 154 grain 7mm SST which has almost the same SD as the .277" 150 grain bullet, helps improve expansion at extreme ranges but does not help penetration at close ranges if fired from a 7mm magnum and used on stout bodied game. Magnum muzzle velocities and close range hits are hard on conventional bullet designs. On the other hand, annealing the .277" 130 grain Interbond or 7mm 154 grain Interbond helps both projectiles to achieve deeper penetration and faster expansion.
There is a lot to consider. For example, a 7mm user may decide to use an annealed 154 grain Interbond for close to intermediate range work on Mule Deer, using the annealed 154 grain SST for long range work on the same game. Yet, another hunter may decide to choose the annealed 162 grain SST for all situations. As always, matching bullet weights to game body weights along with intended ranges and conditions is the first step in decision making.
It is counterproductive to say, "annealing the 162 grain 7mm SST is effective, therefore annealing all SST projectiles is effective". As mentioned, the same goes for velocity, any major changes in velocity will effect performance. Each caliber /weight SST must be studied on an individual basis (just as I have done with other projectiles throughout the knowledge base). Annealing certain SST and Interbond projectiles can radically optimize cartridge performance and many examples of this are given within the knowledge base. | weapons_science |

The M47 however, was very much an interim design, a fact that even the US Army had recognised as the vast majority of M47 tanks were exported. The operational requirement was finalised in 1957 for a 30-ton MBT with a power-to-weight ratio of 30 hp/tonne, and air-cooled multi-fuel engine, either torsion bar or hydro-pneumatic suspension, a width (overall) that should not exceed 3150mm, sufficient armour to withstand close range hits from 20mm shells and have a main gun that could penetrate 150mm of sloped armour. The design programme commenced with France and Germany signing a co-operative agreement to develop a common tank, and were joined in 1958 by Italy. Three design teams (two German and one French) began work on the design and the first wooden mock-ups were completed in 1959, followed by the first prototypes in 1961. Rheinmetall had tried to develop an indigenous 105mm to replace the 90mm gun used in the original designs. However, the excellent British 105mm L7 rifled gun (which was fitted to the Centurion and M60 tanks and retrofitted to the M48) was already available and the programme was dropped for sound cost and logistical reasons. Late in 1962, 1,500 105mm L7 guns were purchased for the new tank and small adjustments were necessary (such as sloping the gun breech to meet the requirement of a main gun depression angle of 9 degrees) with the modified gun being designated L7A3. Competitive trials between the early prototypes led to the A I (Team A, Number 1) design being chosen for further development, the B I (Team B, Number 1) design having been delayed until September 1961 while the Team ironed out the problems with a number of the complex components. The improvements suggested in the trials were incorporated into the enhanced design (A II - known internally to the design team as Porschetyp 773). Armour protection was increased, as was the overall width to accommodate a new Mercedes-Benz MB 838 ten-cylinder mutli-fuel engine (830hp) and slight revisions of the chassis and internal layout increased the total weight to 36.2 tonnes. The A II had a revised Wegmann-Rheinmetall turret which were equipped with the 105mm L7A3 gun and a ranging machine-gun instead of the coincidence rangefinder. The design was evaluated at Panzer-Lehrbataillon (tank training battalion) 93 attached to the Kampftruppenschule 2 (the German armour school in Munster) and the coincidence rangefinder was reinstated. The French in the meanwhile were working on their prototype of the AMX-30 at the Atelier de Construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux. Fifty A II tanks were ordered for trials and were built by MaK (16), Luther & Jordan (17) and Jung-Jungenthal (17). These trials and acceptance tests were conducted in June 1963 and comparision tests between the French and German prototypes were conducted between August and October 1963 at the Mailly de Camp, Bourges and Satory (France), transferring to Meppen (Germany). The trials were conducted under Italian supervision. The German tank had the edge over the French tank, but an abrupt change in defence policy meat that the French would be unable to buy any new tanks before 1965 which brought an end to joint development work. Both countries decided to pursue a national development and procurement programme, with the Italians deciding to buy the American M60. On the 1 October 1963, the tank was named 'Leopard', appropriate given Germany's wartime tanks, the Panther and Tiger. Unit trials were carried out in late 1964 and early 1965 at Munster. The design was vindicated in the trials and the tank was accepted for service with the initial full-scale production of 1,500 Leopards commencing in 1965. The Leopard 1 was built in a total of six batches ('Lots') by Krauss-Maffei AG in Munich with a number of tanks being built by Krupp MaK in Kiel as well. The first production batch of Leopard 1s (numbering 500 vehicles built between September 1965 and July 1966, Fahrgestell Nr. 5001 - 5999) replaced the ageing M47 tanks in the German I Corps. The second production batch (with minor revisions) of 600 tanks was built between July 1966 and July 1967 (Fahrgestall Nr. 6001 - 6999) and delivered to the German I and III Corps. The third batch (again with a few minor revisions) was built between July 1967 and August 1968 (Fahrgestall Nr. 7001 - 7999) and numbered 500 tanks. They were also delivered to the German I and III Corps. The fourth batch included vehicles that were designated for export. The Fahrgestall Nr. were 8001 - 8999 for the Bundeswehr vehicles and 12001 - 12999 and 13001 - 13999 for the export models. In 1970 a modernisation programme was started to enhance the combat effectiveness of the current fleet. This included improvements to the fire control system, full stabilisation and thermal sleeve for the main gun, side-skirts, new tracks, a new snorkel for deeper fording and passive image intensification. The designation was revised to Leopard 1 A1.
The Leopard 1 A1 has an all-welded steel hull. The driver is located on the front right of the hull and has a single-piece hatch with three periscopes, the centre one of which can be replaced by an image intensification unit. The turret is of all-cast steel armour and has the commander and gunner on the right with the loader on the left. The commander has eight periscopes for all-round observation, one of which can be replace with an image intensification unit, the gunner has the main sight and a single periscope and the loader two periscopes. A TRP 2A zoom periscope is mounted in front of the commander's hatch and has magnifications of x 4 and up to x 20. The gunner has a TEM 2A rangefinder that can be used in stereoscopic or coincidence modes. It has a magnification of x 16 and is mechanically linked to the main gun. The gunner also has a TFZ 1A telescope mounted coaxially with the main gun that has a magnification of x 8. Above the main armament is a XSW-30-U infra-red / white searchlight which can be stored at the rear of the turret when not required. The engine is housed behind a fireproof bulkhead and is a MTU MB 838 CaM-500 10-cylinder multi-fuel unit developing 830hp at 2,200rpm. There are seven rubber-tyred road wheels with an idler at the front, drive wheel at the rear and four track-return rollers. The first, second, third, sixth and seventh road wheel stations have hydraulic shock absorbers. The steel reinforced rubber skirts increase ballistic protection against HEAT warheads and mitigate the dust cloud that sometimes arises when a vehicle is on the move. The Leopard 1 has an NBC system of an overpressure type and also mounts an automatic fire control system, heater and hull escape hatch. The Leopard 1 can ford to a depth of four metres. The main armament consists of the widely used British 105mm L7A3 rifled tank gun and can fire all standard 105mm tank rounds produced by the UK, USA, Israel, France, Germany and Canada. The 1 A1 carries sixty rounds with forty-two in the hull and eighteen in the turret. According to Krauss-Maffei, the first round hit probability was significantly increased by the fitting of the Krupp-Atlas fire control system. These 1 A1A1 and 1 A1A2 tanks were redesignated 1 A5 (as mentioned later). A 7.62mm MG3 machine-gun (based on the excellent wartime MG42) is mounted coaxially with the main armament and another is mounted on the turret roof for air defence. The tank carries some 5,000 rounds of ammunition for these weapons. It also has four 76mm smoke grenade dischargers mounted on either side of the turret.
The fifth batch of Leopards was built between 1972 and 1974 and included 232 tanks with a cast steel turret with thicker armour (designated 1 A2) and 110 tanks fitted with a welded turret with spaced armour and a wedge-shaped gun mantlet (designated 1 A3). The 1 A2 tanks mainly went to the 6th Panzer Division, which was based in Schleswig-Holstein and trained with the Danish Army. The 1 A3 tanks mainly went to the 10th and 12th Panzer Divisions. The 1A2 / 1A3 had Fahrgestell Nr. 14001 - 14999. The combat weight had risen to 42.4 tonnes. The sixth and final batch were delivered in 1974 and were designated the Leopard 1 A4. This version had the turret from the 1 A3 but received a new integrated fire control system which included the PERI R12 stabilised sight for the commander, EMES 12A1 stereoscopic rangefinder and ballistic computer for the gunner. The new system took up extra space in the turret and so the ammunition load was reduced to 55 rounds with thirteen rounds in the turret. A second round of modernisation occurred between 1975 and 1977 with all those tanks from the first and fourth batches being retrofitted with extra armour from Blohm and Voss, wedged shape gun mantlet and new air intake filters. The designation was changed from 1A1 to 1 A1A1. From 1980 the PZB 200 passive image intensification system entered service with the Bundeswehr and when the Leopard 2 received their thermal imagining system, a significant number of Leopard 1s were fitted with the cast off PZB 200s. Those tanks in the first to fourth batches (1 A1A1) that received them were redesignated 1 A1A2 while those in the fifth batch were redesignated A2A1 (cast turret) and A3A1 (welded turret). No sixth batch tanks received the PZB 200, and these were eventually phased out of service. In the mid-1980s a major upgrade programme for the Leopard 1 was introduced to give it a better chance in taking on the more modern Soviet tanks that had been appearing for sometime (T-64B, T-72B, T-72M1 and T-80B). It was decided that the Leopard 1 would receive a new fire control system (the Krupp-Atlas Elektronik EMES 18 which incorporated a thermal imaging system, laser rangefinder and ballistic computer), new ammunition and a strengthened torsion bar suspension system and shock absorber mountings. In the end, some 1,225 tanks from the first to fourth batches (Leopard 1 A1A1) would be converted, starting in 1987 and the new tank would be designated Leopard 1 A5. The tank was also fitted with a new servo-hydraulic turret control system by SRK. Following this, all Leopard 1s received the new SEM 80 / 90 digital VHF radio. This necessitated a new set of designators, the progression of which are listed below:
|Batch||Original Designation||Early 1970s/ 1st Mod||Late 1970s/ 2nd Mod||1980 PZB 200||1980s Upgrade||SEM 80/90 Radio|
|1-4||1||1 A1||1 A1A1||1 A1A1|
|5 (cast)||-||1 A2||-||1 A2|
|5 (welded)||-||1 A3||-||1 A3|
|6||-||1 A4||-||Phased out|
The Leopard 1 was been exported widely and is in service with Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Norway and Turkey. The Netherlands has withdrawn it from service (having bought the Leopard 2 as a replacement) and has passed a number to Greece and Chile. Germany still has some 500 tanks in service, mainly in eastern Germany (the former GDR) with the rest being passed to other countries including Norway (92), Turkey (230), Greece (245) and Denmark (110). All have minor modifications to suit local conditions, for example the Belgium Leopards had the MG3 machine guns replaced with the 7.62mm FN MAG machine gun and the SABCA Fire Control System (adopted by Australia and Canada too). In 1996 Canada decided to perform a major upgrade of their fleet which entailed the fitting of the complete 1 A5 turret by the German company GLS, a subsidiary of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. There are armoured recovery, armoured engineer, bridgelayer, driver training, armoured combat engineer vehicle and Gepard air defence vehicle versions.

Main Battle Tank Development Concept Of German Army (Part 1)
In recent years, the leading military and economic powers of NATO have increased their activities in analysing possible directions for the development and use of the combat vehicle arsenal (CVA) of the ground forces in future wars. For this purpose, the experience of combat application of such equipment in past wars is studies and generalised, new tactical methods for conducting CVA combat operations in open terrain and in urban conditions with complex infrastructure, including the joint use of robotic complexes, and various options for the modernisation of armoured combat vehicles (ACVs) are developed.
A characteristic feature of the activities carried out at the present stage is the transition from theoretical research, which was started in certain areas in the 1990s, to the practical implementation of many complex and expensive programmes for the development and modernisation of CVAs. Some of this work has already moved from the field of R&D to the creation of experimental and demonstration models, and in some cases, to serial machines. In the course of research work on CVA samples, modern technologies are being introduced to increase their combat capabilities.
Materials published abroad today on current trends in the development and application of CVAs present a wide range of views, sometimes contradictory, both by the leadership and the military-industrial complex (MIC) of the Alliance countries and individual authors.
For example, some foreign experts identify in these publications the following fundamental provisions that will have a decisive influence on the reforms being carried out of the ground forces and the direction of further improving the combat effectiveness of the CVAs: “in the wars of the future, mass use of tanks is not expected” but at the same time, it is believed that “mass use of tanks, AIFVs, APCs are not excluded when performing certain tactical tasks, for example, when attacking poorly prepared anti-tank defences” further, experts say that “large-scale tank battles are no longer intended to play a decisive role for a positive outcome of a ground operation” “the time of mass tank battles in open terrain has passed, and in the future we should expect the use of tanks mainly in operations in urban conditions.
This will require improvement of both the design of combat vehicles and the tactics of their use” “the main use of tank units of the ground forces will be time-limited operations, involving rapidly changing ways of conducting combat operations, decisive manoeuvres by forces and means of the modular organisational structure of the military formations in close cooperation with units of other arms and services of the armed forces”.
At present, the above views have not yet been widely adopted in all NATO countries, but they have already been reflected in a number of military doctrines and policy documents of some European states, which have become the basis for reforming the basic provisions of the concept of developing the weapons systems of the ground forces of these states.
The concept of development of the Main Battle Tank (MBT) was particularly deeply affected by ground forces reform processes. The number of heavy armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) in the forces of many NATO member countries has become noticeably reduced, and despite numerous statements by foreign experts that “MBTs will remain in service with the Alliance until 2045-2050”, their modernisation programme has become sidelined, and work on creating a new generation of tanks in most of these countries has been completely frozen.
The dominant position in almost all foreign countries during this period was assigned to programmes for the development and production of light combat weight (up to 30 tons) and medium (30 to 40 tons) tracked and wheeled AFVs.
When equipping such combat vehicles, preference was given to powerful cannon and rocket weapons that could provide both fire support for existing infantry units and combat armoured targets and fortified ground structures.
Work priority areas were the development and improvement of AFVs, which are intended for use in localities as part of peacekeeping and anti-terrorist operations. It is characteristic that in such NATO countries as France, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Italy, a bid was made to equip the ground forces mainly with wheeled light and medium-weight AFVs (AIFV, APC, ARV), as well as tank support vehicles and other combat equipment based on them. However, in other participating countries (USA, Germany, Great Britain), they try not to give such preferences to the wheelbase and develop both tracked and wheeled versions of the AFVs.
The German military leadership, as follows from the publications of foreign military media, actively supports the reform of its ground forces, including the transformation of the CVA system. The directive document “Main Directions of German Defence Policy”, approved by the government in May 2011, continues to have a significant influence on the formation of new views. In this document, in particular, it is noted that “an armed attack on the territory of the country in the near future should be considered unlikely.
The most important task of the German ground forces at the present stage is to participate in operations for the crisis settlement of the international situation”. This document has more than once had a decisive impact on the level of funding for the development and production of armoured and tank weapons and equipment at enterprises in the country, for example, in the case of allocation of quite significant amount of funds intended for R&D, carried out in order to modernise the existing fleet of armoured vehicles and the development of a new generation of AFVs.

The following works are planned for the near future:
- replacing the fleet of outdated MBTs with modernised ones (Leopard-2A7/A8) (it is expected that by 2019, the tank battalions and motorised infantry brigades will have 232 Leopard-2A7 tanks, but the ground forces command has already made an additional request for another 84 such vehicles)
- development of new models of CVAs that meet the nature of content of future wars to a greater extent that before (within the framework of these R&D, the creation of a number of modifications continues: AIFV Puma, the APC Boxer, the ARV Fennek, the ACV Wiesel), as well as work on the creation of a new generation of MBTs, called the Leopard-3 (third series), and other types of tanks
- the application of fundamentally new technologies and promising materials for the development and modernisation of the components of the existing and future CVA fleet.
A distinctive feature of the current stage of development of the German CVA from other NATO countries was the work on the creation of a new generation of MBT. Previously, the solution to this problem did not go beyond R&D, sketching and technical design. Experts explained this by the fact that in the course of the work carried out quite a powerful potential for the creation of a new generation tank was created, but due to the foreign policy conditions in the world at that time, as well as for economic and other erasons the decision on this complex and expensive issue was temporarily postponed, and more attention was paid to the priority development at that time.
An important reason was also the conceptual uncertainty of design features depending on the intended nature and content of future wars, as well as the choice of rational directions for the development of a new generation of MBTs in these conditions.

In recent years, the relevance of such work has increased due to the appearance of the Russian high-tech, highly secure and equipped with the latest generation of onboard electronic equipment T-14 Armata and modernised T-90 tanks in the proposed theaters of military operations.
Currently, German military experts argue that the technical appearance of the Leopard-2 tank and is main combat properties at the time of its creation were optimised in advance to solve problems in a large-scale war. But to use it in local wars and armed conflicts, in urban combat or in the fight against terrorist groups and organisations, it is necessary to adjust individual combat properties and specify a number of TTCs.
For these reasons, the German Ministry of Defence has put forward for specialists in the MIC and firms – manufacturers of equipment requirements to improve the MBT development concept and to study the feasibility of creating specialised types of CVAs, such as a tracked tank support vehicle (TTSV, which is currently in the technical design stage, can be created on the basis of the Leopard-2 tank, options for its development are being considered on the basis of the Puma and Marder AIFV), a wheeled TTSV (which is at the stage of creating a prototype, is being developed on the basis of the APC Boxer with a turret, weapons and instrument complex from the Puma AIFV, it is possible to adopt for service by 2024) a vehicle for urban combat (at the stage of creating a prototype, the layout is based on the American 155-mm self-propelled howitzer M109, but with a Swiss 120-mm gun), a medium tank (at the stage of demonstrating a pre-production model, created on the basis on the modernised AIFV Marder with a 105-mm standard NATO gun). Work is underway to evaluate the effectiveness of these new types of ACVs in future wars on simulation models and experimental exercises.
The military conflicts of recent years have convincingly proved that an enemy equipped with modern and fairly effective anti-tank weapons acts against tanks both in open areas and in urban conditions. In these conditions, the MBT and other armoured vehicles (AIFVs, APCs) are “…unsuitable for such scenarios of combat use and do not provide the required protection for the crew”.
Most operations conducted in urban environments resulted in large irretrievable losses of tanks, AIFVs and personnel, even if these AIFVs were equipped with equipment aimed at improving the effectiveness of their use for urban combat.
According to German military experts, currently the country’s ground forces do not have a universal combat vehicle (including the Leopard-2 MBT and the Puma ARV) for conducting offensive operations both in open terrain and in urban conditions, when the enemy has a large number and variety of reconnaissance and anti-tank weapons, has wide opportunities for maneuvering fire and movement, is protected by walls of city buildings and field fortifications.
In addition, after an analysis of existing urban warfare in other states with the use of armed forces, developers were required to equip AFVs with special weapons and ammunition in order to minimise the destruction of urban infrastructures.
Consequently, a number of comprehensive R&D activities are planned in Germany, aimed at creating innovative technologies for the CVA of the future. In April 2017, the commander of the German ground forces, Lieutenant General J. Vollmer in the conversation “About the future of the German ground forces”, said to the correspondent of the magazine “Military Technology” that in the long-term, in the interests the armoured and tank weapons and systems, scientific research has been directed at creating high-energy laser and electromagnetic weapons of high power, the main ground combat system, protective nanosteel and nanocomposite materials, ground-based robotics, active and passive protection systems, powerful generators and more.
It should be noted that attempts to create a new generation of CVAs have been made in the leading NATO countries many times over the past few decades, but due to the lack of relevance of projects, the appearance of other higher-priority works, or as a result of changes in the military-political situation in the world and insufficient funding, most projects have remained unrealized.
For these reasons, the full technical profile of the new generation of MBT has not yet been finalised in any of the participating countries.
It is known that for the development of a new tank, the ground forces command and the management of the German machine-tool companies plan to use a significant scientific and technical reserve that was created in previous years. In the period from 1980 to 2018, more than a dozen projects were developed in the country to modernise tanks and create a new generation of MBTs, which reflected the following main concepts.

First, assumed an evolutionary path of development of the existing tank of the Leopard-2 series, based on industrially developed technologies and partially on new ones.
This concept has consistently led to the creation of more and more advanced modifications.
Second, it provided for the creation of a new generation of MBTs, based mainly on newly developed and partially on existing technologies. In accordance with these concepts, projects for the creation of the Leopard 2A8 MBT and the new Leopard-3 series are currently under development.
MBT Leopard 2A8. The decision to release a new modification of the tank, which received the designation Leopard 2A8 (in some sources, the tank is designated as Leopard-2A7V), was made by the command of the German army and the management of KMW in 2013.
Several versions of layout solutions were worked out: on the basis of modifications of the A7 and A7+ tanks, as well as on the basis of the demonstration model of the Leopard-2 Revolution tank.
The versions differ from each other mainly by the armouring schemes. Deliveries of serial Leopard 2A8 tanks to the troops are planned to be carried out in stages until 2025.
It is expected that in the next five to seven years 104 Leopard-2 tanks will be upgraded to the A8 (A7V) standard, of which 68 are Leopard-2A4, 16 are 2A6 series and 20 are 2A7. According to preliminary estimates, the cost of the upgrade package together with additional services will amount to 118 million euros. One Leopard 2A8 tank is estimated by experts at the level of 8-8.5 million dollars. Small-scale production of its foreign counterpart, the American M1A2 SEP V3 tank, will amount to 8.5-9 million dollars.
The relatively high costs of MBT development has become currently one of the main limiting factors for their mass production. Small annual production volumes of new and modernisation of existing machines (not more than 10-20 tanks per year) reflects the general trend of CVA development of leading NATO countries and testify how the technical difficulties and high costs of using particular technologies, and the insufficient funding of the development programmes, so the leadership of the MIC of NATO countries invests more not in production but in the development of innovative technologies to ensure the future creation of a new generation of CVAs in the short term.
For example, due to the high cost of work associated with the use of new technologies, only 30 tanks out of 100 A8 modifications are planned to strengthen the anti-mine protection of the sides and bottom of the hull. Earlier it was reported that the troops already have 70 Leopard-2A6M MBTs with similar design improvements. Moreover, for economic reasons, it was decided to postpone until 2020 the implementation of a set of measures aimed at improving the effectiveness of the use of Leopard 2A8 tanks in urban areas.
Foreign information materials indicate that the Leopard 2A8 tank is planned to be created as a universal combat vehicle intended for use in high-intensity conflicts (large-scale war), in local wars, peacekeeping, anti-terrorist and special operations.

Modifications of the A7 and A8 tanks are planned to remain in the military until 2035-2040. German experts see the feasibility of such a decision in the fact that it will require a long-term in-depth study of individual technologies for a new promising tank. Under the current conditions, the development of the A8 modification will ensure that the Leopard-2 TTC is maintained at the required level for the specified period of time, and the designers will be provided with the necessary reserve of time to solve complex and knowledge-intensive tasks when creating new technologies.
The Main directions of improving the combat capabilities of the Leopard 2A8 MBT. The R&D directions taken in order to create the A8 modifications give the following ideas of its tactical and technical characteristics.
The combat weight is 63 to 67 tons, crew of 4 people. Layout of all compartments (combat, control, engine and transmission) with minimal changes in the design of the hull and turret, compared to the Leopard 2A7 series tank.
The specific capacity is 22.4-23.8 HP/t with an MTU engine with a capacity of at least 1,500 HP.
The vehicle is planned to be adapted as much as possible to conduct combat operations both in open terrain and in urban conditions. To maintain the TTC of such a vehicle at the required level until 2035-2040, it is planned to conduct a number of complex R&D aimed at developing its combat properties, namely: firepower, security, mobility, command manageability.
Fire power. Several options for the tank cannon armament are under development: first – with a 120-mm cannon with a shortened barrel (L44) which meets the increasing demands of warfare in an urban environment second – with a 120-mm (L55A1) smoothbore gun of the Rheinmetall company, which allows the new tanks to be equipped with the sub-calibre armour-piercing projectile KE2020, which is to enter into service by 2022 third – with a 130-mm (L51) smooth-bore gun (from the same company), which is planned to be installed on upgraded models after 2020. The decision to equip the tank with guided weapons is expected to be made after receiving the results of complex fire tests of the 130-mm gun.
All Leopard 2A8 tanks will be equipped with a remote detonation system and multi-functional programming of the 120-mm high-explosive DM12 projectile response time, which will allow these projectiles to be used against bunkers and heavily fortified field structures. This system will also be used to fight helicopters, infantry in open terrain and lightly armoured targets.
More than 2,500 such shells have already been ordered. In addition, all A8 tanks will be able to use DM11 high-explosive shells with a programmable fuse. The DM63 remains the main armour-piercing sub-calibre projectile. The use of the DM12 shells and the advanced fire control system (AFCS) increases the firepower of the tank, especially when firing at enemy infantry in shelters.
It is also planned to finally switch to the use of electronic panoramic surveillance system “through the armour”, when the display of the surrounding space around the machine will take place on the screens of panoramic monitors installed at the crew workstations.
The vehicle commander workstation is planned to be equipped with a new stabilised panoramic sight RTWL-B of the Karl Zeiss company. It has the same design and characteristics as the sight on the German AIFV Puma.

The scope kit includes an ATTICA thermal imaging device with day and night thermal imaging channels of the third generation, a laser rangefinder and a day-vision television camera.
The commander’s sight can be used with the upgraded EMESs gunner’s sight, which will provide the crew with high search and strike capabilities when firing from the tank when stationary and on the move.
The detection range of ground and air targets is planned to be increased to 5,000 m. A two-channel SPECTUS periscope viewing system will be installed in place of the driver-mechanic, which will combine two channels (visual and opto-electronic) in one observation channel. It is planned that all Leopard 2A8 tanks will be equipped with the automatic detection and tracking system AZEV (Reinmetall).
Protection. The tank is planned to be equipped with additional modular passive armour to strengthen the protection of the front sector of the hull and turret, as well as the sides and roof of the turret, the standard set of which will include protection of the bottom from mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
In addition, lattice armour or light cellular packages will be installed to protect the aft part of the tower and the hull from rocket-propelled anti-tank grenades. This protection has already been tested in combat on Canadian and Danish Leopard-2 tanks in Afghanistan.
The protection of the Leopard 2A8 tank will be enhanced with new additional armour on top of the front part of the roof of the hull and turret. This version of tank protection has already been tested in combat conditions (in Iraq and Afghanistan) and, as tests have shown, provides a reduction in the damaging effect of manually operated and unguided anti-tank weapons launched from the upper floors and roofs of buildings.
To reduce the visibility of the tank in the parking lot and in motion, it is planned to include the improved camouflage thermal control system Barracuda from the Swedish company Saab in the equipment set of the vehicle.
Maneuverability. The power unit will probably remain unchanged, although the possibility of installing a new engine with a capacity of about 1,650 HP (at the R&D level) is being considered.
The power of the autonomous power auxiliary power plant (APP) of the company Steyer is planned to increase to 40-50 HP.
The tank will have a significantly improved chassis (reinforced torsion shafts, improved brakes, new tracks installed and upgraded hydraulic system for pulling tracks from the driver’s seat). In addition to providing improved mobility, the goal of these measures is to increase the potential for improving security through additional booking, which will lead to an increase in the combat weight of the vehicle to approximately 70-75 tons.
Command manageability. The tank will be equipped with an upgraded onboard information and control system, which will increase the level of automation and “intellectualisation” of combat and work processes that occur during firing, movement, as well as survivability and improve command management (especially inter-object interaction).
All crew displays are to display information from the standard battle control system. All electronic instruments and communication systems will be connected to each other via the CANBUS data bus, which will provide the crew the information on flat-panel displays installed at the commander’s, gunner’s and driver’s workstations.
How the Leopard 1 was born?
West Germany was accepted into NATO in 1955. The country had to develop new tank, and they worked closely with the French for a common battle tank that will justify tanks and make logistical sense to both nations and NATO. The two countries joined forces in 1956. Before the Leopard 1, the two countries used the Patton tank that was limited by the 90mm main gun armament. The new project was called “Standard-Panzer”. Germany provided a “wish list” of requirements in 1957, including the excellent British L7 105mm main gun, as well as standard NBS protection, excellent cross-country performance from a diesel engine, and resistance to 20mm ant-tank projectiles.
Three German companies were involved in the initial proposal and a single French company. In 1958, Italy joined the project
The first tank was produced in 1965 and entered service. Allied countries like Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Canada, Greece, Australia, and the Netherlands ordered units of the tank. The tank featured a German version of the revolutionary British L7 rifled gun. The main focus was on mobility and agility. The tank had a relatively light armor, but could reach 65 km/h.
Leopard 1 was used in the Bosnian War, the Turkey-Kurdish conflict, and the War in Afghanistan. Apart from these conflicts, the Leopard 1 has not seen much action.
Germany Delivers First Upgraded Leopard 2A4HU Main Battle Tanks to Hungary
The Hungarian armed forces have taken delivery of their first Leopard 2 tanks, which will be used for training. German Parliamentary State Secretary Thomas Silberhorn traveled to Hungary for the handover ceremony. They are designed to replace the Russian-made T-72 tanks that were previously used by the Hungarian Army. The Hungarian Ministry of Defense has signed a contract with Germany’s Krauss-Maffei Wegmann for 44 new Leopard 2A7+ main battle tanks and 24 PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzers. The contract is worth more than $565 million and included in addition 12 used Leopard 2 A4 tanks for training purposes. The new Leopard 2A7+ variant expected to be delivered to Hungary starting from 2023. Hungarian Armed Forces Leopard 2A4HU Main Battle Tank
The Leopard 2 is a main battle tank developed by Krauss-Maffei in the 1970s for the West German Army. The main battle tank first entered service in 1979 and succeeded the earlier Leopard 1 as the main battle tank of the German Army. It is armed with a 120 mm smoothbore cannon, and is powered by a V-12 twin-turbo diesel engine. Various versions have served in the armed forces of Germany and 12 other European countries, as well as several non-European nations, including Canada, Chile, Indonesia, Singapore, and Turkey. There are two main development batches of the tank: the original models up to Leopard 2A4, which have vertically faced turret armour.
The most widespread version of the Leopard 2 family, the 2A4 models included more substantial changes, including an automated fire and explosion suppression system, an all-digital fire control system able to handle new ammunition types, and an improved turret with flat titanium/tungsten armour. The Leopard 2s were manufactured in eight batches between 1985 and 1992. All the older models were upgraded to 2A4 standard. Until 1994, Germany operated a total of 2,125 2A4s (695 newly built and the rest modified older versions), while the Netherlands had an additional 445 tanks. The 2A4 was also license manufactured in Switzerland as the Panzer 87 “Leopard” or Pz 87. Hungarian Armed Forces Leopard 2A4HU Main Battle Tank
The Leopard 2A7+ is designed to operate both in low intensity and high intensity conflicts. The tank’s protection has been increased by modular armour the frontal protection has been improved with a dual-kit on the turret and hull front, while 360° protection against RPGs and mine protection increase the survivability of the tank in urban operations. The modular armour’s system components were first used by Canada in Afghanistan. It can fire programmable HE munitions and the turret mounted MG3 has been replaced with a stabilised FLW 200 remotely controlled weapon station. The mobility, sustainability and situational awareness have also been improved. Hungarian Armed Forces Leopard 2A4HU Main Battle Tank

The first tanks fielded in Canada in the Second World War were sixteen Mark VI "Valentine" tanks. The Mark VI was a British design, built exclusively in Canada, and had a Browning machine gun in place of the British Besa model co-axial machine gun.

The Canadian AFV Training Centre purchased 15 Renault tanks from the United States that were about to be sold for scrap. At right, Colonel F.F. Worthington is shown inspecting Renault FT light tanks supplied by the United States Army to the Canadian Armoured Fighting Vehicle Training Centre (Canadian Army Training Centres and Schools), Camp Borden, Ontario, Canada, October 1940.
An improved version of the Ram called the Grizzly was planned during 1942 very similar to the American M4 (see below), this vehicle would mount a 75mm or high velocity 76mm main armament. By mid-January 1943, an order for 80 percent of the materials needed to produce 1200 Grizzlies had been placed, with hopes that the vehicles would be assembled by February 1944. During the summer of 1943, however, discussions between Canadian and British authorities settled the matter of using U.S. Shermans for all four Canadian armoured brigades overseas (as well as the two armoured reconnaissance regiments, who would go into action outfitted as armoured regiments). Tank production in Canada was to shift to production of 50 Grizzlies per month (to a maximum of 250), and 150 Sexton self-propelled guns per month. The Grizzly was eventually abandoned as a medium tank and plans to convert the 250 chassis to self-propelled anti-aircraft guns was initiated 188 hulls were eventually built but decline in German air power led to the anticipated 360 vehicles not being needed. Few turrets were actually completed and none were ever used to engage a German aircraft. 3
Leopard 1 [ edit | edit source ]
The Leopard project started in November 1956 in order to develop a modern tank, the Standard-Panzer, to replace the Bundeswehr's United States-built M47 and M48 Patton tanks, which, though just delivered to West Germany's recently reconstituted army, were rapidly growing outdated. On 25 July 1957 the detailed specifications were released the new design needed to weigh no more than thirty metric tons, have a power-to-weight ratio of thirty horsepower per ton, be able to withstand hits by 20 mm rapid-fire guns on every side as well as operate in a battlefield contaminated with chemical weapons or radioactive fallout, the then-standard baseline for combat with the Warsaw Pact. In addition the main armament had to consist of a 105 mm caliber weapon (the new British L7A3 105 mm gun was selected), carrying at least as many rounds as current US tank designs. Mobility was the priority while firepower came second armour was seen as less essential, as it was believed no real protection against hollow charge weapons was possible anyway.
France was very interested in the design as its own AMX 50 project had just failed. In June 1957, West Germany and the French Fourth Republic signed an agreement to develop a common tank, designated in German Europa-Panzer. Three German (Arbeitsgruppe A, B and C) and one French design team would be included in a competition, with each team producing two prototypes each. In September, 1958 Italy joined the development program. Several prototypes were entered for testing in 1960. Among the prototypes were Porsche's Model 734 from team A, sporting a cast turret and that of team B (Rheinmetall) whose cast turret was somewhat higher. Team C from Borgward, designing a very futuristic tank, failed to have a prototype ready in time.
Even before these first prototypes were finished, it had (in 1959) been decided that a second phase with improved designs would be started: Team A had to build 26 phase II Prototypes for testing, team B six. Only two tanks of the required six would actually be constructed by team B.
The Porsche Prototype II was eventually selected as the winner of the contest in 1963 this didn't come as a surprise: it had already been decided in 1961 to build a preseries of fifty vehicles based on this design production of these was started that very year. This "0-series" was modified with a new cast turret and several hull changes to raise the rear deck to provide more room in the engine compartment, and move some of the radiators to the upper sides of the hull. Before mass production of the standard version started it was also decided to add an optical range-finding system for better long-range gunnery, which required the turret to be somewhat taller, and added "bumps" on either side of the turret to mount the optics for triangulation. In 1963 France and Germany had decided to each build their own tank Germany continued with the Leopard, while France built the similar AMX-30.
Production was set up at Krauss-Maffei of Munich from early 1964 onward, with deliveries of the first batch between September, 1965 and July, 1966. The Leopard was soon being purchased from Germany by a number of NATO members and other allies including in chronological order Belgium (1968), the Netherlands (1969), Norway (1970), Italy (1971), Denmark (1976), Australia (1976), Canada (1978), Turkey (1980) and Greece (1981). Germany has a strict export policy for military equipment Greece, Spain and Chile, while still dictatorships, purchased the French AMX-30.
Leopard 1A1 [ edit | edit source ]
After the first batch was delivered the next three batches were the Leopard 1A1 model, which included a new gun stabilization system from Cadillac-Gage, allowing the tank to fire effectively on the move. The 1A1 also added the now-famous "skirts" along the sides to protect the upper tracks, and a new thermal jacket on the gun barrel to control heating. A less important change was to use rectangular rubber blocks fastened to the treads with a single pin instead of the earlier two-pin "shaped" versions. The rubber blocks could be easily replaced with metal X-shaped crampons for movement on ice and snow in the winter.
Between 1974 and 1977 all of the machines in the first four batches were brought to the same Leopard 1A1A1 standard, and given additional turret armor developed by Blohm & Voss. A further upgrade in the 1980s added leftover image-intensifier night sights which were being handed down from the Leopard 2 as they were themselves upgraded. The PZB 200 image intensification system was mounted in a large box on the upper right of the gun, creating the Leopard 1A1A2. A further upgrade with SEM80/90 all-digital radios created the Leopard 1A1A3.
Leopard 1A2 [ edit | edit source ]
Leopard 1A2 crossing a river at night.
The first 232 tanks of the fifth production batch was delivered as the Leopard 1A2 between 1972 and 1974. The A2 included a heavier and better armored turret, and therefore did not receive the B&V armor add-ons as did the earlier machines. They did receive the other upgrades however—the Leopard 1A2A1 received the PZB 200, the Leopard 1A2A2 the digital radios, and the Leopard 1A2A3 got both.
Leopard 1A3 [ edit | edit source ]
The next 110 vehicles in the fifth batch were fitted with a new welded turret incorporating spaced armor and a wedge-shaped gun mantlet, creating the Leopard 1A3. Although the level of armor area density was equivalent to the A2's new welded version, the internal volume was increased by 1.2 m³ and the effective protection level was increased by half. The improved TRP 2A independent sight was installed for the commander. Upgrades were identical to the 1A2 models, the Leopard 1A3A1 with the night sights, Leopard 1A3A2 with the new radios, and the Leopard 1A3A3 with both.
Leopard 1A4 [ edit | edit source ]
The Leopard 1A4 formed the sixth batch of 250 vehicles, delivery starting in 1974. The 1A4 was externally similar to the 1A3, but included a new computerized fire control system and the new EMES 12A1 sighting system to aim it. In addition the commander was provided with his own independent night sighting system, the PERI R12. The new equipment used up space and the ammunition load was reduced to 55 rounds, of which 42 were stored in the magazine to the left of the driver.
Leopard 1A5 [ edit | edit source ]
In 1980 a research program was undertaken to study further improvements to the Leopard 1, providing it with a completely modern fire control system and fully effective night/bad-weather vision system. This was going to require even more room than the larger turret from the 1A3/1A4 models, so the decision was made to base the upgrades on the earlier models which were no longer competitive.
The resulting Leopard 1A5 was based on 1339 vehicles of the Leopard 1A1A1 model. The turrets were again modified for the 1A5, with a larger section at the back, both in order to store all of the new equipment, as well as to move more of the ammunition into the rear turret, as opposed to the left side of the driver where it had traditionally been stored. The storage locker extended the turret almost to the rear of the tank when the gun was facing forward. The new turret was also able to mount the newer 120 mm gun from the Leopard 2 if desired, although this option has not been used.
After trials the Krupp-Atlas Elektronik EMES 18 fire control system was selected in December 1983, developed from the EMES 15 used on the Leopard 2. The EMES 18 included two new sights on to the top of the turret, and no longer required the "bumps" as did the earlier optical systems. A crucial part of the upgrade was the introduction of more effective ammunition, including new APFSDS rounds.
The Leopard tank could also be fitted with bolt-on lexan armour panels, which have increased the effectiveness of the armour. These "modified" tanks have proved themselves in the field.
The first modified vehicle was delivered in early 1987. Since then almost all users of the Leopard 1 have also applied similar changes to their own vehicles, and in most ways the 1A5 can be considered the "standard" Leopard 1 today.
Leopard 1A6 [ edit | edit source ]
A single 1A1A1 was also modified with additional armor on the turret and had the 120 mm gun as the Leopard 1A6. The project was ended in 1987, as the Leopard 2 was in widespread service at this point and the 1A5 offered a reasonable upgrade path for a fraction of the cost.
Other modifications [ edit | edit source ]
Armoured engineering vehicle "Dachs" (Badger) German Army.
Bergepanzer 2 (Armoured recovery vehicle) GE Army.
Bridgelayer "Biber" (Beaver) with armored vehicle-launched bridge.
Simultaneous to the production of the battle tanks a number of engineering, bridging and recovery vehicles was developed, as well as a number of versions used in the anti-aircraft role.
In the Netherlands, there is an improved version equivalent to the A5 called "Leopard 1 Verbeterd" (improved), the same version is used by the Chilean Army.
The most well known Leopard variants are the Engineer Vehicle Bergepanzer and the Anti-Aircraft Gun Gepard. The equivalent of the Gepard is the ZSU-23-4. There was also a British SPAAG version called Leopard Marksman, which was equipped with the Marksman turret.
The Canadian Land Forces operate the Beaver bridgelayer, Taurus ARV, and Badger AEV, all based on the Leopard 1.
The United Kingdom's Royal Marines operate a vehicle known as the Hippo BARV (or Beach Armoured Recovery Vehicle. The Hippo is a conversion by ALVIS Moelv of a Leopard 1A5 chassis. The main alteration has been the replacement of the turret with a raised superstructure which resembling the wheelhouse of a boat. The original 830 hp (634 kW) diesel engine has been retained but the gearing of the transmission had been lowered, reducing the vehicle's road speed to 32 km/h (20 mph), but increasing tractive effort to 250 kN (56,000 lbf). Other modifications include the addition of working platforms, a nosing block, raised air intakes and an Auxiliary power unit this has raised the weight of the vehicle from 42.5 tonnes to 50 tonnes. The Hippo has a fording depth of 2.95 m (10 ft) and can pull vehicles up to 50 tonnes weight or push off from the beach a 240 tonne displacement landing craft.
Gilded Leopard, Eber and Keiler [ edit | edit source ]
Almost as soon as the Leopard was introduced into service in 1965, Porsche was awarded a contract to study further improvements to the existing design, while waiting deliveries of the MBT-70 in the mid-1970s. This original Gilded Leopard (vergoldeter Leopard) program expired in 1967 with no production order. In that year it had already become obvious that the MBT-70 would be a failure. The agreement between the USA and the BRD forbade any national development of an MBT apart from technological experimentation, so a new tank project was begun under the designation of Experimentalentwicklung or "experimental development", two prototypes of which were built.
When the MBT-70 program was ended a further contract was offered under the name Boar (Eber), with an emphasis on using as many technologies from the MBT-70 as possible, but without the problematic combined gun - rocket launcher. Two prototype vehicles were constructed using a new chassis from Porsche with the road wheels from the MBT-70 and the original Leopard engine, combined with a new Wegmann turret mounting the MBT-70's Rheinmetall 120 mm smoothbore gun (although some also mounted the original 105 mm). These were considered promising enough that seven more were ordered, this time powered by the MTU engine designed for the MBT-70. When this happened the Experimentalentwicklung team went public with their alternative design which they called the Keiler (a synonym of Eber). In 1971 the minister of defence, Helmut Schmidt, decided to abandon the Eber-project and build seventeen prototypes of a Leopard 2, based on the Keiler design, which had a turret with spaced sloped armour. The maximum weight was to be fifty metric tons.
During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, 1950s and '60s generation tanks were badly beaten by wire-guided missiles, and it was realized that dramatically improved armor protection was needed. The decision was made to allow the tank to increase its weight to the next classification, Military Loading Class 60 (tonnes), and a new design effort was started, with the spaced armour replaced with a much denser perforated armour assemblage. The new design would go on to augment and after the Cold War sometimes replace the Leopard in many countries' armies.
The commander’s station of the Leopard 2A7+ MBT incorporates a new PERI RTWL stabilised glass optical periscope for day and night reconnaissance over long distances. The periscope consists of a third-generation Attica thermal imaging device, a daylight CCD camera, an image fusion function, fibre optical gyros, and an eye-safe laser range-finder.
The gunner’s station is fitted with an EMES 15 stabilised main sight and a FERO Z18 auxiliary sighting telescope. The driver is provided with a combined thermal imager / image intensifier night vision for front and rear view.
KMW’s MBT Leopard 2 support systems and tank engine
A programme has been put in place to replace the H-WNA improved hydraulic system with E-WNA, which is an electrical weapon follow-up system. The replacement with the E-WNA provides the following advantages: the turret has no pressurised hydraulic fluid, lower noise level and lower power consumption and heat generation, improved reliability and lower maintenance and service requirements, saving in operating costs, and good long-term storage properties.
The crew compartment is equipped with a fire and explosion detection and suppression system which has been licensed by the company Deugra Ges. fur Brandschutzsysteme of Ratingen, Germany, from the UK company Kidde-Graviner of Slough, Berkshire. A fireproof bulkhead separates the fighting compartment from the engine compartment at the rear of the vehicle.
The engine is the MTU MB 873 diesel engine, providing 1,100kW (1,500shp), with a Renk HSWL 354 gear and break system. An enhanced version of the EuroPowerPack, with a 1,210kW (1,650shp) MTU MT883 engine, has been trialled on the Leopard 2.
Development of the Leopard 1 main battle tank began in 1956 and took about 10 years. The first trials began in 1961. Vehicle entered service with the Bundeswehr in 1965. Production ceased in 1984 and it was replaced by the Leopard 2. However the Leopard 1 was a very successful design. Over 4 000 of these MBTs were built in Germany. Another 720 were license-produced in Italy. Despite its age the Leopard 1 is still in service with a number of export operators.
The Leopard 1 has a welded hull and cast turret. Armor of this tank is relatively thin. Germans estimated that contemporary Soviet T-62 tank could penetrate frontal armor of the Leopard 1 at a range of 1 800 meters. Newer Soviet T-72 tank could penetrate it at a range of over 3 000 meters. The tank is fitted with NBC protection equipment for the crew.
Despite its relatively thin armor, the Leopard 1 packed a formidable punch. This MBT is armed with the British L7A3 105 mm rifled gun. It was a standard NATO tank gun, used on contemporary tanks, such as American M60 Patton and French AMX-30. This gun is loaded manually. Ammunition includes APDS, APFSDS, HEAT and smoke rounds. Germans estimated that the Leopard 1 could penetrate frontal armor of the Soviet T-62 tank at a range of 400 meters with APDS round and 1 500 meters with APFSDS round. Frontal armor of the newer T-72 tank could be penetrated by APFSDS round at a range of 800 meters.
Secondary armament consists of coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun and another roof-mounted 7.62 mm anti-aircraft machine gun.
Vehicle is powered by the MTU MB 838 Ca M500 multi-fuel diesel engine, developing 830 horsepower. The whole powerpack, including engine and transmission, can be replaced in field conditions within 20 minutes. The torsion bar suspension consists of seven road wheels, with the drive sprocket at the rear and idler at the front. The Leopard 1 is fitted with a deep wading kit and after preparation can ford water obstacles up to 4 m deep. A dozer blade can be attached at the front of the hull.
Leopard 1A1 was fitted with a new gun stabilization system allowing to fire effectively on the move. It was also fitted with side skirts, new thermal sleeve on the gun barrel and some other minor improvements.
Leopard 1A2 had better turret armor protection, improved NBC protection system and new night vision equipment.
Leopard 1A3 had new welded turret with composite armor and wedge-shaped gun mantlet.
Leopard 1A4 is externally similar to the 1A3, but included new computerized fire control system, and new sighting system.
Leopard 1A5 was developed in early 1990s. It was fitted with modern fire control system and improved night vision equipment. A total of 1 300 of the Leopard 1A1 and 1A2 MBTs were upgraded to this level.
Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, fitted with two 35 mm guns.
Bergepanzer armored engineering vehicle.
Some countries made local upgrades to their Leopard 1s to extend their service lives.

Top 10 Main Battle Tanks
Often we receive many questions which is the best main battle tank in the world. Which is the greatest modern MBT and why. Our Top 10 analysis is based on the combined score of protection, firepower, accuracy and mobility. None of the tanks listed here have seen combat against each other during military operations yet. And even though some things, such as armor composition, are kept in high secrecy, we know a lot about these machines. Data on their protection, firing range, accuracy, capabilities of their fire control systems, and so on are widely available. So we know capabilities of each of these tanks. This analysis is based on specifications and available data.
All of the tanks mentioned here are incredibly powerful and devastating. However crew training of the tank is also an important factor, as performance of the actual tank depends from the crew performance.
This list do not contains tanks that are currently under development, at the prototype stage or tanks that never reach production. The only exception here is the Russian Armata which was produced in small numbers for testing and evaluation, but is not yet produced in quantity.
Currently top 10 best tanks in the world are these:
It is a recent version of the proven and successful Leopard 2 design. It has additional armor and updated electronics.
The Leopard 2A7 is well protected against conventional and urban warfare threats, such as RPG rounds and IEDs.
This tank has better accuracy and longer range of fire comparing with other tanks due to its powerful gun and advanced fire control system. During numerous international tank challenge competitions the Leopard 2 series tanks outperformed American M1A2 SEP, British Challenger 2, French Leclerc and some other tanks in terms of overall performance.
This MBT is powered by a proven multi-fuel diesel engine, developing 1 500 hp. Despite increase in weight vehicle has increased mobility due to improved suspension components. Cross-country performance is similar to other Leopard 2 series tanks.
German Army ordered a first batch of 20 Leopard 2A7 MBTs, upgraded from Leopard 2A6. Deliveries commenced in 2014. German army plans to upgrade 50 to 150 tanks to the 2A7 standard. Qatar ordered 62 of these MBTs and Saudi Arabia more than 200.
Currently the Black Panther is one of the most advanced main battle tank in the world, outclassing anything North Korea or China have. Furthermore it is the most expensive main battle tank to date. Deliveries of the K2 Black Panther tank commenced to the South Korean Army in 2016. As of 2017 at least 100 tanks were delivered. South Korean requirement is for around 300 of these new tanks. These will eventually replace the older K1 tanks.
This tank uses composite armor of undisclosed type and explosive reactive armor modules. It is claimed that front armor withstands direct hits from 120 mm tank rounds, fired from L55 guns. Its protection level is broadly similar to that of the M1A2 Abrams, considering that the K2 is much lighter. The Black Panther tank is also completed with an active protection system and countermeasures system, that further increase its survivability on the battlefield.
This new South Korean tank is armed with the latest German 120 mm/L55 gun, similar to that used on the German Leopard 2A6 and 2A7. This tank has a very advanced fire control system with can spot, track and fire automatically at visible vehicle-size targets, and even low-flying helicopters, without needing any input from a human operator. The K2 also uses advanced munitions.
The Black Panther is fitted with a powerful diesel engine. It is fast and has a state-of-the-art hydropneumatic suspension.
The M1A2 SEP is a successor to the M1A2 Abrams. This tank has incredible technology and armor. Also it has seen combat. It is one of the most feared MBTs.
The M1A2 SEP offers significant protection against all well-known anti-tank weapons. This main battle tank uses advanced armor, reinforced with depleted uranium layers.
Its firepower and accuracy are slightly inferior to that of the Leopard 2A7 or the South Korean K2 Black Panther due to a shorter 120 mm/L44 smoothbore gun. Yet it still packs a formidable punch.
Its complex gas turbine engine offers good performance, but requires tremendous amount of maintenance, logistical support and is thirsty on fuel.
A number of older M1, M1A1 and M1A2 tanks were upgraded to this standard. The tank can be also fitted with a Tank Urban Survival Kit (TUSK), that improves survivability in urban environment. T o date very few Abrams tanks have been destroyed in combat.
The M1A2 SEP is in service with United States Army (at least 900). It is planned that this tank will remain in service beyond 2050. The M1A2 SEP has not been exported yet. However the previous M1A2 has been supplied to Kuwait (218) and Saudi Arabia (373).
It is a very capable tank. The Challenger 2 has the latest Chobham armor and is one of the most protected MBTs in the world today. It offers very high level of protection against direct fire weapons.
This British tank is armed with a very accurate 120 mm rifled gun. Its gun is rifled as opposed to smoothbore guns used by all other modern MBTs. Its maximum aimed range is over 5 km. Currently the Challenger holds the record for for longest tank-to-tank kill.
Engine of the Challenger 2 is less powerful than of its Western rivals. Also it is not as fast as other MBTs. However this tank is famous for its mechanical reliability.
The Challenger 2 is in service with United Kingdom (386) and Oman (38).
The Armata is a new Russian main battle tank of new generation. Pre-production tanks were first publicly revealed in 2015. In 2018 Russian MoD ordered a first batch of these new tanks. Exact order numbers were not disclosed but it is likely that around 60 tanks were ordered. First production tanks were planned to be delivered during the same year. Once in service, the Armata will gradually replace the ageing T-72, T-80 and T-90 tanks that become increasingly out-dated.
The Armata is a clean sheet design with a number of advanced features. It shares little common with the current T-90. Also the Armata is much bigger than its predecessor.
Its specifications are classified, however the Armata might be one of the most protected tanks in the world. It has newly-developed base armor, made of steel, ceramics and composite materials. Also Armata has a new Malakhit add-on explosive reactive armor. It has been reported that Armata will be fitted with a new Afghanit active protection system, that is currently being developed. However in 2018 it appeared that there are setbacks with development of the Afghanit. However by 2018 prototypes of this system were not completed and were not ready for testing. The tank has a new countermeasures system that reduces the chance of being hit by enemy ATGW with semi-automatic guidance.
This tank is operated by a crew of 3 men. All crewmembers are seated side-by-side in a well protected armored cell, located at the front of the hull. It is the first production MBT with such crew layout. The tank can operate even with penetrated armor, as far as the crew cell is intact.
The Armata is also a world's first production MBT with completely unmanned turret. It is armed with a new 125 mm smoothbore gun that is more accurate than the previous Russian tank guns. This tank can launch anti-tank guided missiles in the same manner as ordinary projectiles. The gun is completed with an autoloader. This tank has a hunter-killer capability.
It has been reported that this tank is fitted with a diesel engine, developing 1 200 hp.
Introduction of this new Russian MBT created a stir in the West. Now a number of countries, such as Germany and UK are looking to upgrade their tanks, or develop new designs in order to counter the threat posed by this new Russian tank.
The Merkava Mk.4 is the latest Israeli main battle tank. It is a successor to the previous Merkava Mk.3. The Merkava Mk.4 was adopted in 2004.
It is one of the most protected tanks in the world. This MBT has an unusual design with a front-mounted engine which gives the crew additional protection and chance to survive if the tank is knocked-out. Improved Merkava Mk.4 Meil Ruach tanks are fitted with a combat-proven Trophy active protection system, which destroys incoming anti-tank missiles and rockets. This tank is also well protected against air-launched guided missiles and advanced top attack anti-tank weapons.
The Israeli tank is armed with indigenous 120 mm smoothbore gun. The Merkava Mk.4 is equipped with new fire control system, that includes some very advanced features. One of them is a high hit probability firing against low-flying helicopters using conventional munitions.
Mobility of the Merkava Mk.4 is rather average due to excessive weight, even though it is fitted with a powerful engine.
All Merkava series tanks have a rear compartment which can be used to carry troops and cargo under armor. It can carry up to 10 troops when ammunition is unloaded.
The Merkava Mk.4 is in service with Israel. A total of 360 of these tanks have already been built and another 300 have been ordered by Israel Defense Forces. For a long time these tanks were not available for export. However in 2014 it was reported, that Israel will export a number of these tanks to an undisclosed customer.
The Japanese Type 90 tank was developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in cooperation with German Krauss-Maffei and MaK tank manufacturers. It has a number of external similarities with the German Leopard 2. The Type 90 was officially adopted by the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces in 1989. Full scale production commenced in 1992. At the time it was one of the most advanced and in fact the most expensive production MBT. Original Japanese army requirement was for 600 of these tanks, however only about 340 were built due to high unit price. This tank was never exported, as at the time Japan laws did not allow export of military equipment.
This MBT is armed with German Rheinmetall 120 mm smoothbore gun, which was produced in Japan under license. It fires all standard NATO 120 mm tank rounds. Unusual feature of the Type 90 is that this tank was fitted with a bustle-mounted automatic ammunition loading system. At the time only Soviet and Chinese tanks had autoloaders, but these were not used on Western tanks. The autoloader allowed to reduce the crew to 3 men, as there was no need for the loader.
This Japanese tank has a fire control system with independent commander's sight.
Another unusual feature of this tank is that it has a hydropneumatic suspension. It allows this MBT to "kneel", or "lean", giving a number of advantages.
In 2012 a new Type 10 tank was adopted by the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces. However it is much smaller and lighter than the Type 90. Even though it is much more technologically advanced, in fact currently it is one of the most advanced tanks in the world, it has inferior protection. Its main role is to support infantry with its firepower, rather than to combat enemy tanks.
This French main battle tank entered service in 1992. Overall it is a successful design. A number of design features of the Leclerc were later used on other Western tanks. The Leclerc was used during a number of peacekeeping and military operations.
The This French tank has advanced composite armor with add-on modular armor. Protection level can be tailored to the threat. Turret and hull roof was designed to withstand top-attack munitions. However in terms of protection the Leclerc can not match tanks such as the US M1A2 Abrams or the British Challenger 2.
This tank is armed with a 120 mm/L52 gun. This MBT is operated by a crew of three and is fitted with a bustle-mounted automatic ammunition loading system. It has a high hit probability against both stationary and moving targets. Also it has a hunter-killer engagement capability. It is claimed that the Leclerc can engage 6 targets, located 1.5 - 2 km away, within one minute with a hit probability of 95%. That's impressive result.
This tank is fitted with a battlefield management system. It automatically reports to command post tank's location, quantity of ammunition and fuel left.
This tank has good mobility due to its 1 500 hp engine and hydropneumatic suspension.
Currently it is in service with France (406) and the United Arab Emirates (388).
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine continued development of a T-80UD main battle tank. Their latest version of this tank is the Oplot-M.
The Oplot-M is fitted with explosive reactive armor of new generation. This MBT inherited from its predecessor automatic ammunition loading system. Ammunition is stored in the main compartment, rather than a separate compartment with a blow-out panels. It is a significant drawback of this tank, as once the armor is penetrated it is likely that the ammunition will detonate killing the crew and destroying the tank.
This latest Ukranian tank is not as accurate against long-range targets as its Western rivals. However this tank can launch anti-tank guided missiles in the same manner as ordinary munitions. These have a maximum range of 5 km.
The Oplot-M has an independent commander's sight with thermal vision, which gives the tank a hunter-killer engagement capability.
This Ukrainian tank is superior to the Russian T-90 as it has more advanced add-on armor, more powerful engine and superior fire control system. However it outperforms the latest Russian Army's T-90M only in terms of more powerful engine.
The Oplot-M completed Ukrainian Army trials. However it did not entered Ukrainian Army service due to limited funding. The only operator of this tank is Thailand. Currently the Oplot-M is produced in small numbers. Ukrainian Army operates a small number of older and less capable Oplot tanks.
The T-90 is currently the only tank produced in quantity in Russia. It is not as sophisticated as its Western rivals, however it uses proven technology and is cost effective. Currently it is the most commercially successful main battle tank on the global market. Also it is one of the cheapest among modern MBTs. The T-90 is currently in service with Russia (approximately 700), Algeria (305), Azerbaijan (20), India (620), Turkmenistan (40) and Venezuela (50
100). The T-90M is its latest version, which is used by the Russian Army since 2019. It has a number of improvements over the original T-90.
The T-90 has a small profile which makes it a harder target to hit. Significant drawback of the T-90 is ammunition stored in the main compartment due to its carrousel-type autoloader. Once the hull is penetrated onboard ammunition detonates by killing all the crew and destroying the tank. This drawback is common to all Soviet, Russian, Ukrainian and recent Chinese MBTs. Western tanks have a separate compartment in the turret bustle with a blow-out panels.
The T-90 is not as accurate against long-range targets, however it can launch anti-tank guided missiles in the same manner as ordinary munitions.
The latest T-90M uses a significantly improved fire control system than the original T-90. It has advanced sights with thermal vision, as well as panoramic commander's sight, which would allow to detect and engage targets faster. Though most other modern tanks use this system already.

The Bush Administration announced on March 2 that the specifics of a plan to begin upgrading many of the almost 10,000 weapons in its nuclear arsenal with a new and improved warhead design, the so-called Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW). It is hard to imagine a step that this government could take - short of the use of nuclear weapons - that could undercut more thoroughly the moral basis of its opposition to the proliferation of nuclear arms. Yet, somehow this story goes largely unnoticed by a public that, in spite of its weariness with the war in Iraq, stands confidently behind the administration in its attempts to staunch the spread of WMD to other countries. Why is this?
To some extent, our collection of thousands of fission and fusion bombs is the elephant in our living room. These weapons have insinuated themselves so thoroughly into the status-quo, that they are seldom remarked upon anymore. As a result, the debate that raged over the RRW was not about the size of the nuclear stockpile, but about which of the two competing designs - one from Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California, the other from Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico - would be selected. (The politically expedient, but technically flawed, idea of a "Frankenbomb" mash-up of the two proposals had been jettisoned soon after it was suggested.) Sadly, as has become common in discussions concerning U.S. weapons systems, the fundamental question - do we really need all of these warheads - was avoided entirely. It was assumed that program would go forward. The only issue that remained to be resolved was how the money, in this case billions of dollars, was to be distributed.
I wish I could say that the waste of taxpayer dollars was my primary criticism of the warhead program, but its fiscal impact pales in comparison with the harm it will do to U.S. - and international - security. Whatever safety is gained by having marginally more reliable nuclear weapons will be dramatically offset by the fact that such a modernization effort will only encourage other nations either to acquire nuclear arms, if they don't have them, or to upgrade them, if they do.
The insistence on the part of the U.S. on building and refining nuclear weapons while continuing to demand that other countries remain nuclear-free is yet another chapter in its half-hearted compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NNPT) of 1968. It is widely known that the NNPT restricted the possession of nuclear weapons to the 5 nations who were the acknowledged nuclear powers at that time - the U.S., the Soviet Union, Great Britain, France and China. What is seldom remembered is that the treaty also obligated members of the so-called nuclear club to work toward the dismantling of their own nuclear arsenals. These lesser known provisions were ignored by the super powers from the start, and, by the height of the Cold War, the U.S. and the Soviet Union had amassed around 20,000 nuclear explosives each. A couple of rounds of strategic arms reduction talks and the dissolution of the USSR have cut those totals in half, yet there are no significant reductions in store.
Once upon a time the justification for brandishing a large number of these fearsome weapons was that they provided deterrence against nuclear attack according to the appropriately named doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD). Although the relationship between the U.S. and Russia could not now be described as untroubled, it is certainly a far cry from the state of nuclear brinkmanship that once prevailed. The U.S. hardly views Russia as the existential threat it once did (although Russia's estimation of the United States may differ), and it would seem that both countries could meet their security needs with drastically reduced nuclear stockpiles. If that is the case, why does the U.S. want not only to maintain but even to modernize a nuclear force whose size exceeds any reasonable military requirement?
With the end of the Cold War the U.S. was at a foreign policy crossroads. Should it take a place as the first among equals in an international framework in which power is shared and security is collaborative, or should it seize the opportunity to pursue a kind of global military supremacy the likes of which the world had never before seen? The die was cast, and, unfortunately, the unilateralist path was chosen. What began in the immediate post-Cold-War years as a slouching toward a "New World Order" became, with the inauguration of George W. Bush in 2001, a headlong rush toward "Pax Americana" and the of creation of a military force so formidable that, it was imagined, no adversary would dare challenge it. An unassailable stockpile of "modern" nuclear arms was considered to be an essential component of this strategy.
Of course this direction in U.S. policy is questionable on a number of grounds, but with regard to nuclear arms it is particularly troubling. What has differentiated nuclear weapons (along with their chemical and biological counterparts) from conventional ones for the better part of the last 40 years was the understanding that their use had to be avoided at all costs. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty recognized this fact both by attempting to limit the spread of such weapons and by requiring nuclear-armed powers ultimately to liquidate their own stockpiles. For a period of time the Cold War gave the U.S. cover to disregard these obligations, since it otherwise would have not have been able to deter the threat posed by the Soviet Union, but that exemption ended with the collapse of the USSR. Instead of seizing the opportunity to move forward with reductions in these "exceptional" weapons, though, the United States adopted a policy whereby nuclear weapons have become "unexceptional" ones, in the sense that they could be employed to accomplish military objectives at its discretion. This legitimation of the use of nuclear weapons is the Pandora's box that the Bush administration has opened further with its decision to fund the Reliable Replacement Warhead program.
Now, I don't believe for a minute that Iran or North Korea, for example, would refrain from pursuing the development of their own nuclear weapons based upon a U.S. decision not to proceed with its own weapons modernization plans. But I do believe that the cooperation of the international community is essential in securing the compliance of nation states with the non-proliferation treaty and that such cooperation is drastically undermined when the U.S. hypocritically reserves the right to build and deploy nuclear weapons based exclusively on what it considers to be its interests while denying that very same prerogative to other countries.
If the United States is genuinely committed to ensuring that the proliferation of WMD is restrained, there is no better step that it could take than to reaffirm its commitment to the NNPT and reduce its arsenal of nuclear weapons and forgo the development and modernization that make the use of such weapons more likely. | weapons_science |
