Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began a year ago, officials in Kyiv have asked their Western allies to supply the country’s air force with advanced fighter jets such as the F-16. But the US, which makes the fighter jet, has long been reluctant to deliver it or allow other countries that own F-16s to re-export to Ukraine. US officials worried the jets could be used to strike targets inside Russia, potentially escalating the conflict, and said sending other weapons to Ukraine was a higher priority. But President Biden reversed course on Friday, saying he would allow Ukrainian pilots to train on the F-16 and that the United States would work with other countries to supply the jets. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed what he called “America’s historic decision” and said it would “greatly improve our military in the air.” Here’s what we know about how the move will affect Ukraine’s air force. How strong is the Ukrainian Air Force? Ukraine has a substantial but aging fleet of Soviet-designed fighter jets and helicopters, a legacy of its history as part of the former Soviet Union. The Ukrainian Air Force fleet includes fighters such as the MiG-29, bombers and transport and training aircraft, the force’s spokesman Col. Yuriy Ihnat said in an interview on Saturday. Western military analysts estimate that the combined fleet of Ukraine’s air and ground forces has shrunk by more than a third since the start of the Russian invasion. Ukraine has lost at least 60 of its 145 fixed-wing aircraft and 32 of its 139 helicopters, according to US military sources, among the classified information leaked on social media site Discord in recent months. The document is undated. The Ukrainian Air Force rarely discloses numbers about its fleet or other details, including incidents of planes being shot down or destroyed. But officials acknowledged some losses during the war and difficulties in repairing and replacing damaged aircraft. “The new aircraft is from 1991,” Colonel Ihnat said. “They all have to be serviced, repaired and have spare parts.” Obtaining spare parts has become a problem because many of them are produced only in Russia. Trade in such goods largely ceased after 2014, when Russian-backed forces seized control of eastern Ukraine and parts of the Crimean peninsula, even before a full-scale invasion. Overall, compared to the Russian Air Force, the Ukrainian Air Force is “technically superior and badly outnumbered.” November report Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies, London. How do Ukrainians use their planes? While Russian forces disabled Ukrainian air defense systems in the early days of the war, Ukrainian Mikoyan MiG-29 and Sukhoi Su-27 fighter jets engaged in air-to-air combat to repel Russian bombers and provided air defense over much of the country. As stated therein Company report. The Ukrainian fighter jet inflicted some losses on Russian aircraft, but also “suffered heavy casualties,” the report said. A few friendly-fire casualties occurred in the following days as the Ukrainians scrambled to introduce new air defense systems. Nevertheless, despite a superior navy, Russia was unable to achieve air supremacy across Ukraine thanks to the strong air defenses of the Ukrainians. Those defenses have been increasingly strengthened as Western countries have contributed some of their most sophisticated weapons. The Ukrainian Air Force continues combat operations, and Ukrainian planes and helicopters are often seen flying near the eastern front line. In recent weeks, Poland and Slovakia have replaced Ukraine with MiG-29s, the first time the country has received one to boost its depleted fleet. Some are unserviceable and will be used for spare parts, Col Ihnat said. However, Ukrainian jets and helicopters are vulnerable to Russian air defense systems and restrict their operations to avoid entering Russian-controlled territory. Ukrainian jets and attack helicopters have developed a tactic of flying low, unleashing unguided rockets from Ukrainian territory and quickly clearing the bank to avoid anti-aircraft fire. Russian aircraft use similar tactics, but have the advantage of superior firepower, which allows them to fire rockets and cruise missiles from greater distances. “Russian pilots remained alert throughout the war, so even a small number of Western fighters could have a large deterrent effect,” the RUSI Institute report said. Why do Ukrainians want the F-16? The Ukrainians don’t want to use the jets only as a deterrent. A group of Ukrainian parliamentarians told the German Marshall Fund in Washington last month that they need the F-16 because its radar can detect targets on the ground hundreds of miles away, allowing pilots to stay safely in Ukrainian-controlled territory while launching weapons. In Russian-occupied territories. Col. Ihnat said that in addition to being used for air defense — that is, shooting down incoming Russian missiles and drones — the aircraft could provide cover for Ukrainian troops trying to advance in any counterattack. He noted that it could also be used to intercept Russian planes that have begun launching guided bombs from at least 30 miles from the Ukrainian front line; to protect the sea route that allows Ukrainian grain to leave the country; and to gain air superiority over Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine. None of those objectives can be achieved with Ukraine’s current Soviet-designed aircraft, he said. “The Navy is very old,” Colonel Ihnat said. “We have four to five times less aircraft than the Russians, and the range of aircraft is four to five times less than the Russians.” How will the F-16 boost Ukraine’s capabilities? The small, single-engine and highly maneuverable war-bomber has long been a mainstay of the US Air Force, having been used extensively in combat during the 1991 Gulf War, the Balkans, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. According to Air Force Description of Fighter AircraftThe F-16 can fly at twice the speed of sound and can defend itself with air-to-air missiles while striking ground targets up to 500 miles away. Western and Ukrainian military analysts have said Ukraine’s air force needs such modern Western fighters and missiles to consistently counter Russian aircraft with deep firepower and to hold its own against the Russian juggernaut, which has relentlessly used bombers. Cities like Mariupol and Bakumud to catch them. Mr. Even if Biden doesn’t believe so, offering them is part of his thinking about how to protect Ukraine after the current phase of the current war is over. Ukrainian officials have long said it needs an army equipped and trained to NATO standards with modern aircraft to protect its border with Russia. The decision to provide F-16s to Ukraine suggests that the Biden administration and its allies now believe that even if there is a negotiated end to the fighting — perhaps a Korea-like ceasefire — Ukraine will need it long-term. The ability to deter an angry, permissive Russia. Oleksandr Shubko Contributed reporting from Odessa, Ukraine John Ismay from Washington, and David Sanger from Hiroshima, Japan.

We've been working our way through ranged combat and one thing keeps coming back up over and over again. What in the world can you throw? Throwing is unique. Most ranged combat weapons derive their effective weapon class from the weapon. Ammunition provides effects or is enchanted to add elemental damage. The weapons may also provide a bonus to various stats. Throwing turns this idea on its head and uses the weapon class of the ammunition. It makes sense logically since the player is technically the weapon for throwing. Throwing is pretty cool thematically; who hasn't had the daydream of being a ninja throwing shuriken or the dapper illusionist who throws a playing card or smoke bomb? Sound Logic, Cool Theme, Weird Outcome Throwing suffers because of its unique method for deriving weapon class. Dealing great damage at higher levels requires a strong weapon class value on your weapon of choice. The only throwing items that I know of in the game are throwing axes, harpoons, and the deck of playing cards from the illusionist secondary guild. A few others may exist, but the core issue with throwing should be pretty obvious. Limited options and a typically low weapon class combine to make throwing less viable at the higher level. I'm an avid roleplayer, however, there's a pragmatic choice to make when trying to create a character that is fun to roleplay and mechanically sound. The staff is looking to make throwing more viable and help it live up to the roleplay hype. Throwing Ideas at the Wall The staff is working hard on the mechanical side. The playerbase can help us with brainstorming ideas for more throwing weapons. We are especially lacking in medium and large thrown weapon ideas. Do you have a great idea for items that fit into these categories? Do you have a suggestion that you think would help make throwing more viable mechanically? Our discussions around throwing are still in the conceptual stages. Now is the time to send in your thoughts! We consider all well reasoned ideas and, even if we don't implement exactly as suggested, the more we have on the drawing board the better the final outcome. Send your concepts in via IDEA or drop a mudmail to Rita, Kereth, and Kellin in game.

The German physicist, philosopher and peace researcher Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker has died on 28th April at the age of 94. The brother of former German president Richard von Weizsäcker was born on 28th June 1912. Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker studied physics under Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr. Working with Hans Bethe in nuclear physics, he discovered the Bethe-Weizsäcker formula for nuclear masses and the Bethe-Weizsäcker cycle of nuclear fusion that powers the heavy stars. He also developed a model for the evolution of the solar system. During the Second World War, von Weizsäcker was a member of the elite team of German physicists working on the unsuccessful attempt to develop a nuclear weapon for Nazi Germany; later, von Weizsäcker always maintained that the failure of that project was due to the physicists' unwillingness to develop such a devastating weapon for the Nazis, rather than a lack of ability to do so. After the war, von Weizsäcker was a prominent opponent of plans for the nuclear armament of West Germany, signing the declaration of the Göttingen Eighteen that publicly exposed and rejected defence minister Franz-Josef Strauß's plan to arm the newly refounded German Army (Bundeswehr) with tactical nuclear weapons, and that created enough public opposition to end those plans once and for all. Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker's opposition to nuclear weapons and his interest in the responsibility of scientists for the use of their research led him into peace research, and to founding and directing the Max-Planck-Institute for research into living conditions in a scientific-technical world. He also worked as a philosopher, trying to unify all of physics into a coherent system of Natural Philosophy based on the idea of the quantum dynamics of primal logical alternatives (Uralternativen) underlying physical reality.

Ah, the trench knife. Not particularly ancient technology, but I think it’s one of the better anti-zombie weapons out there. Shotguns may seem fun, but they’re messy and noisy. Chainsaws are noisy as hell, make a huge mess and are dangerous to use. Swords get stuck but may be effective when used properly. The trench knife gives you a lot of freedom of movement, has a great way to crack a skull as well as a long blade to use as a survival knife. May take some getting used to, but I’d rather use one of these than swing a bat around. Of course, I’d rather not have a zombie apocalypse to begin with. Those are best confined to virtual media.

THE US MILITARY will this afternoon hold a test flight for the fastest plane ever to grace the skies. The Falcon HTV-2, which has a maximum speed of over 13,000 mph - will begin a trial flight at 3pm Irish time. The unmanned craft started life as a military research project, which sought to come up with an aircraft that could deliver a bomb to anywhere in the world within an hour. An inaugural test flight was held in April 2010, with the HTV-2 glider flying 4,800 miles at twenty times the speed of sound. The flight had ended prematurely when the on-board autopilot detected undesirable behaviour, but the plane landed itself safely. The craft is launched by rocket in a capsule, before it ‘hatches’ and launches from near-earth orbit. Because of its high altitude, the launch will not be shown online, but live data will be posted to Twitter by @darpa_news. More info on its flight can be found at the DARPA military website.

We’ve been fortunate so far, but it only takes one particular mistake to go unnoticed – one particular flock of geese, or 1 faulty computer system chip has the prospective to trigger a nuclear catastrophe. The more missile and nuclear tests Pyongyang conducts, Lewis argues, the more apparent the value of the moratoriums will become. With the submarine operating hundreds of feet under the surface, the crew has tiny awareness about what is going on in the planet. At times the submarine will come up to periscope depth to receive satellite signals for updates on what is going on in the globe. The sailors have to maneuver their way through hallways lined by 24 missile tubes that home ICBMs. The world’s food production would crash by much more than 90 %, causing worldwide famine that would kill billions by starvation. In most nations less than a quarter of the population survives by the end of year two in this scenario. A total of 140,000 men and women in Hiroshima and 73,000 in Nagasaki died instantaneously or within five months due to the nuclear blast, intense radiant heat from the fireball and ionizing radiation. A dirty bomb is a traditional bomb laced with radioactive, biological or chemical supplies that are disseminated in an explosion. Westinghouse Electric Organization, collectively with the world’s leading civilian nuclear power plant vendors, have adopted a widespread set of principles that reflect global most effective practices in connection with the export of nuclear energy plants. The Principles of Conduct articulate the nuclear power plant industry’s shared high requirements in the places of security, security, environmental protection and spent fuel management, compensation in the unlikely occasion of nuclear-associated harm, nonproliferation and ethics. This sort of voluntary, comprehensive, export-oriented code of conduct has never existed in the nuclear market. The design and style, construction and operation of nuclear energy plants is a multinational globalised industrial endeavour. It is unavoidable for any given country to use codes, supplies, components or solutions that are made by or provided from other countries. These codes contain determining enemies and allies, as properly as maintaining alliances and defending against enemies. Nuclear capabilities have traditionally been a tense subject amongst allies and enemies alike. Now, the US need to balance its interests to establish new geopolitical codes under the Biden administration. For instance, the US has traditionally promised protection to its allies in Japan and South Korea from China and North Korea. Nonetheless, that was before North Korea made missiles capable of hitting San Francisco. The method stated the United States had fired five ballistic missiles at the Soviet Union. A ballistic missile aimed at North America would be detected by a series of satellites and warning systems overseen by the U.S. Strategic Command, which would inform North American Aerospace Defence Command, or Norad, which guards the airspace of the United States and Canada. NNSA’s Space and Atmospheric Burst Reporting Technique three (SABRS-3) is an operational technique to detect nuclear explosions. Such so-named NUDET devices are critical for the US government’s ability to monitor compliance with nuclear arms control treaties, such as the 1963 Restricted Test Ban Treaty that prohibits nuclear weapons detonation in space, the atmosphere or beneath the sea, NNSA’s site says. SABR-three additional will assistance Strategic Command’s nuclear warfighting mission. The No Initially Use Act (HR 2603/S 1219-Smith/Warren) would modify U.S. declaratory policy to state that the United States would by no means use nuclear weapons first. The Restricting 1st Use of Nuclear Weapons (HR 669/S 1148-Lieu/Markey) would call for a president to get approval from Congress to use nuclear weapons 1st by way of an authorization for the use of military force. In any of these situations, if an adversary attacked the United States or its allies with nuclear weapons, the president could respond with a nuclear attack. In his book “The Bomb,” about nuclear war preparing navigate to this web-site, author Fred Kaplan writes about a National Safety Council war game in the course of the Obama administration that simulated a Russian tactical nuclear attack on a NATO country in the course of a Russian invasion of a single of the Baltic States. Reduced level officials decided not to respond with a nuclear weapon, as an alternative continuing to fight with standard forces. Playing politics with manage of the US nuclear arsenal is inappropriate — and harmful. The system was made at the height of the Cold War when some feared a president would have just minutes to respond to a massive, incoming Soviet attack. In a separate but further critical consideration, giving any a single individual unchecked authority to make such a decision is not compatible with a democratic technique founded on the concept of checks and balances. And Prof Colangelo points out it may possibly not be a fantastic thing to encourage these crew members to question any order that comes their way. Pavel Podvig, director of the Russian Nuclear Forces Project and a single of the world’s prime specialists on Russia’s nukes, told Company Insider that Petrov did a brave issue, but it really is entirely unclear if he definitely prevented a nuclear war. The blips on Petrov’s radar turned out to be a false alarm, some thing he supposedly instinctively knew so effectively he disobeyed protocol and backed off. It is challenging to identify a wrongful side in the Cold War and justify the other, as both countries were equally accountable. The unfortunate factor is that paranoia spread like a virus among individuals, which includes officials set in position to observe the sky, the sea, and the land for any abnormal behavior, i.e., feasible attack from the enemy. Precautionary measures were taken, but “human safeguards” recognised it as a false alarm as other information contradicted the message. The Pentagon attributed the error to a failed micro-electronic integrated circuit – which expense 46 cents – and “faulty message style”. The Secret Service agents around Pence would virtually definitely meet any such try with deadly force. There would have been a dozen or more dead rioters scattered on the bloodied floor close to the staircase exactly where Pence, his loved ones, and his entourage had gathered. If the mob’s survivors kept mauling and overpowering Pence and the other people, they may well not have thought to grab the Football, which is locked in a metal case tucked inside an ordinary-looking satchel. Even if they had grabbed the satchel, bashed the lock, and opened the case, they wouldn’t have recognized what to do with the stuff inside. Had they figured it out, the officers in the Pentagon would have recognized the signals had been coming from an unauthorized source. According to a history of the Football compiled by the National Safety Archive, President Dwight Eisenhower also briefly gave Vice President Richard Nixon a satchel although either of the two was traveling. The measured activity of each nuclide has been converted to the number of nuclei contained in the foil. Ultimately, the depth-profiles of the induced nuclides, i.e. the number of the induced nuclei as a function of the target depth, have been constructed and analyzed. The measured depth-profiles deliver facts on physical mechanisms of the high-power heavy-ion fragmentation. The measured depth-profiles have been also compared with the simulated ones obtained with FLUKA2020. Maintaining in thoughts complexity of the nucleus-nucleus interactions in the broad energy interval, the measured and simulated depth-profiles show a reasonable agreement. The Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement is expected for non-nuclear-weapon states under the NPT and is an selection for non-NPT members. In concluding a CSA with the IAEA, states ought to declare the type and quantity of material subject to safeguards in an initial report. The IAEA verifies that a state’s declaration of nuclear material is correct and comprehensive. A CSA also gives the IAEA the authority to independently confirm that all nuclear material in the territory or jurisdictional control of a state is not diverted for nuclear weapons or explosives purposes and that nuclear facilities are not misused. President Trump directed Secretary Mattis to determine methods to strengthen missile defense capabilities, rebalance homeland and theater defense priorities, and present the vital policy and approach framework for our nation’s missile defense systems. U.S. and allied intelligence agencies are stepping up efforts to detect any Russian military moves or communications that could signal that Vladimir Putin has ordered the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, according to five present and former U.S. officials. We think that the use and threat of use of nuclear weapons are abhorrent and morally incorrect. We call on the Government of Canada to perform urgently with other nations to conclude a Convention which will set out a binding timetable for the abolition of all nuclear weapons in the planet. The president would pick out a single of these plans or ask STRATCOM to come up with a distinct 1. A codified North Korean nuclear doctrine, nonetheless, seems to be an unlikely prospect, even though it might be objectively desirable in eliminating some ambiguity about inquiries of command and handle. As lengthy as U.S. and South Korean war planners can’t be confident about what would come about to North Korea’s nuclear weapons in the aftermath of a decapitation strike, releasing a doctrine that would only undermine that deterrent impact is highly unlikely. The procedure to launch a nuclear strike does not proceed by means of the common military selection-producing chain of command that needs input and approval from a lot of officials. As an alternative, the order is meant to be conveyed as immediately as attainable so military officers can execute a choice that only the president can make.

Categories: TARGET PRACTICE Military Handbooks: The Plattsburg Manual Advanced Training Military shooting or target practice is very different from shotgun shooting, or even the kind of shooting required of a large-game hunter; therefore we should begin with the most elementary instruction and drills, if proficiency is to be obtained. Our Small Arms Firing Regulations says, The sole purpose of rifle training for the soldier is to make of him a good shot under war conditions. are made off the range and not on it. By this we mean that the preliminary instruction you will receive before you go on the range will be of more benefit to you than the actual firing for record. Indeed, firing on the range will only test your ability to put into use the many points covered by your preliminary instruction. Therefore, if you are to become a proficient shot, maintain your interest and enthusiasm at its highest pitch during the preliminary instruction. Your preliminary instructions will probably become so tedious and tiresome that you will lose sight of their objects. Each preliminary instruction has its own and different purpose, and you will not receive the maximum benefit from them unless you realize this. This chapter will first explain briefly the purpose of each preliminary drill, and then give the essential things to be remembered when actually firing on the range.

Because of its popularity, it is also (usually) the least expensive handgun cartridge available. 9x19 mm refers to two dimensions: the diameter of the bullet (9 mm) and the height of the loaded round (19 mm). - Glock 19, 17 and 26 - Beretta 92 series - 9x19 mm is the NATO standard sidearm chambering - The US Army's official sidearm is chambered in 9x19 mm - The 9x19 mm is the most common chambering for police sidearms in the world, and in the United States - More 9x19 mm ammunition is manufactured in the world than any other centerfire pistol ammunition Stopping power debate After the FBI Miami firefight of 1986, the stopping power of the 9x19 mm round came into question. 9x19 mm is not the most powerful handgun cartridge available. Therefore it may not be the ideal tool to stop an armed attacker. However, the more power a handgun round has, the more recoil, blast and noise are associated with it. (Also more powerful rounds tend to be larger, limiting the ammunition capacity of the handgun.) For many police forces, military organizations and private civilians, the 9x19 mm represents a near-ideal combination of portability, power and controlability. - Barnes XPB 105 & 115 gr JHP (copper bullet) - Federal Tactical 124 gr JHP (LE9T1) - Speer Gold Dot 124 gr +P JHP (53617) - Winchester Ranger-T 124 gr +P JHP (RA9124TP) - Winchester Partition Gold 124 gr JHP (RA91P) - Winchester Ranger-T 127 gr +P+ JHP (RA9TA) - Federal Tactical 135 gr +P JHP (LE9T5) - Federal HST 147 gr JHP (P9HST2) - Remington Golden Saber 147 gr JHP (GS9MMC) - Speer Gold Dot 147 gr JHP (53619) - Winchester Ranger-T 147 gr JHP (RA9T)

By Ashley Perry, Intern with the Virtual Curation Laboratory Today’s animation was scanned in the lab on February 2, 2014 by Digital Curation Specialist Lauren Volkers and is of a .58 caliber Minié ball loaned to the Virtual Curation Laboratory as part of a collection of artifacts found at the Bladensburg Battlefield site in Maryland (18PR). This particular artifact is one of a handful of items recovered that likely belongs to the later Civil War component (Fort Lincoln runs along Bladensburg Road and is right next to Prince George’s County, where the town of Bladensburg is located). .58 caliber Minié balls were the required ammunition of the Springfield Model 1861, a rifled musket in widespread use during the latter parts of the Civil War. The Springfield boasted increased accuracy and range over previous models and is widely considered to be one of the most effective firearms of of its type. Over 1,000,000 of these rifles were manufactured during the war, over a fifth of those being produced by the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts. An animation of an archaeologically recovered Springfield rifle lock plate from George Washington’s Ferry Farm can be found here.

Although the work is interesting from a purely informational viewpoint, Mackenzie would be happy to know that it is impossible not to mull the social implications and social context of his book. Donald Mackenzie dedicates this work to "Alice, so you may grow up in a world in which the subject of this book is in every sense a matter of history." Finishing the text in 1989, and watching world events in 1990, Mackenzie writes in a epilogue that he hopes that nuclear weapons may be, at last, uninvented. It seems a strange hope to a reader like myself who never knew a world without nuclear weapons and who grew up with the understanding that new knowledge was like a powerful genie uncorked. Once "out there," the only question was who would control the genie. Lost technologies were the province of apocalyptic science fiction writers or anthropologists in remote South Pacific Islands. How does Mackenzie build a case for the possibility and desirability of the uninvention of nuclear weapons? Chapter One introduces some main issues: that missile guidance is a way to look at nuclear thinking, that some knowledge claims are hardened into fact and others are not, and that a social context is an integral part of each new weapon-technology-artifact. He argues that even the smallest details of guidance technology reflect a stake in power positions. He sketches out two camps (p. 20): those who believed the best deterrent strategy was in the mutually assured destruction of soft targets like cities, and those who believed that the best deterrent strategy was in counterforce, first strike capability against hard targets like missile silos. He also touches on how he gathered data on a classified subject (the appendix shows quite a bit of interviewing). Chapter Two describes the "gyro culture" developed after 1850 and the determination of the post-War German armed forces to develop new inertial systems. The end of World War II brought German rocket scientists to the US and Russia, and the conviction that inertial guidance was possible. (presumptive anomalies notwithstanding). Chapter Three traces the linking of guidance systems to the hydrogen bomb, and those in turn to the building of ballistic guided missiles possessed by the Air Force (Atlas, Thor, Titan, Minuteman,), Army (Jupiter, Pershing) and the Navy (Polaris). Chapters Four and Five develop the story of precision through particular missiles and how the branches of the armed services, angling for budgets, power and prestige, and perhaps moral high ground, positioned themselves on either side of the counterforce and deterrent strategies through stricter or looser requirements for accuracy. Chapter Six looks at how the U.S. government understood the state of Soviet technology; how they, too, built up a mixed arsenal of first strike and assured destruction missiles; and how a very different set of social conditions might have created different "facts" about guidance technology. Picking up that latter theme, the final chapters address two important questions: how are facts created as facts? and what are the lessons in 50 years of guidance technology? Mackenzie notes the political uses of uncertainty about untested missiles. Uncertainty was "boxed" or closed off according to the shifting definitions surrounding centrally contested facts. Among the lessons that he offers, the most memorable is this: overwhelmingly, nuclear weapons work was simply ordinary -- a job, like any other job -- pursued by a varied group of actors for varied motives: glory, money, power, interest, patriotism. Mackenzie argues that there is no pre-existing social need for anything, so -- the job can be dropped, and facts can be re-engineered into new artifacts.

Traditional Turkana weapons, which were used as much to protect their herds as to raid neighbouring tribes for theirs, included an eight foot long spear, bow and arrow, a bludgeon made from wood, ivory or bone, iron wrist knives and finger knives, and a shield made from buffalo, giraffe, or hippo hide. The wrist-knife is the most infamous of the lot, at least in terms of its spine-chilling appearance, and is unique - in Kenya at least - to the Turkana (various related peoples in southern Sudan also carry them). The blade is sheathed with two bands of goat skin leather, one on the inside to protect the wrist on which it is worn like a bracelet, and one on the outside. The outer band has steel and copper ends. Formerly used in close combat and in fights among the Turkana (it was taboo to kill a fellow Turkana with a spear), the wrist-knife's usefulness is gradually being made redundant by automatic rifles such as the AK-47.

If you’re an avid World of Tanks (WoT) player, you know that choosing the right tank is crucial for success on the battlefield. Among the various tank classes available, light tanks hold a unique position, offering speed and versatility. In this article, we’ll explore the world of light tanks in WoT and help you discover the best light tank that suits your playstyle. Introduction to Tanks Tanks, also known as armored combat vehicles, are heavily armored, tracked vehicles primarily designed for combat. They have been an integral part of modern warfare, and their history is a testament to human innovation in military technology. Historical Development of Tanks The concept of tanks dates back to World War I, where they were first used by the British Army. These early tanks were crude by today’s standards but laid the foundation for future advancements in armored warfare. Types of Tanks Tanks come in various types, each with a specific role on the battlefield. These include Main Battle Tanks (MBTs), Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs), and Light Tanks, among others. The Anatomy of a Tank A tank’s design consists of several critical components, such as the turret, hull, tracks, and the powerful engine that drives these behemoths. Role of Tanks in Modern Warfare Tanks play a pivotal role in modern warfare by providing ground forces with firepower, mobility, and protection. They are instrumental in breaking through enemy lines and supporting infantry. Iconic Military Tanks Over the years, some tanks have become legendary for their performance and impact on the battlefield. Examples include the German Tiger II, American M1 Abrams, and the Russian T-34. Tank Armament and Ammunition The effectiveness of a tank lies in its weaponry.

The Importance of Light Tanks in WoT Light tanks may not be the most powerful in terms of firepower, but they are indispensable assets to any team. They are essential for revealing enemy positions, disrupting the opponent’s strategy, and assisting artillery units with targeting. Without light tanks, a team might be left in the dark about enemy movements. Criteria for Choosing the Best Light Tank When it comes to selecting the best light tank for your WoT adventures, several factors come into play. These include the tank’s speed, camouflage rating, view range, and the effectiveness of its gun. Each of these aspects contributes to the overall performance of the tank.

The Role of Crew Skills and Equipment In WoT, your tank’s crew skills and equipment are critical for optimizing its performance. Skills like “Sixth Sense,” “Camouflage,” and equipment like “Coated Optics” can significantly enhance your light tank’s capabilities. Battle Strategies for Light Tanks When operating a light tank, it’s essential to understand your role on the battlefield. Use your mobility to get to advantageous positions quickly, spot enemies, and take opportunistic shots. Remember, staying hidden and spotting for your team can be just as valuable as dealing damage. Tips for New Players If you’re new to light tanks in WoT, start with a forgiving tank line, such as American or Russian light tanks. Learn the art of scouting and focus on staying alive to provide continuous vision for your team. Conclusion on the Best Light Tank in WoT Choosing the best light tank in World of Tanks depends on your playstyle and preferences.

PARIS, France: The French Ministry of the Armed Forces has announced that it has ordered a prototype of an anti-drone laser weapon system, called HELMA-P, to protect against drone attacks during the 2024 Paris Olympics. "The HELMA-P system provides a calibrated response to the drone threat, from dazzling the drone's observation instruments to the destruction of a mini or micro drone, weighing from 100g to 25kg, by altering its structure, causing it to fall in a few seconds," the ministry said in a statement. This prototype will also help "deepen the military's understanding of its deployment," as an anti-drone campaign is a priority laid out by the French Ministry of the Armed Forces for the 2019-2025 period, the statement added. Security for the Olympics is the responsibility of the host country, the International Olympic Committee told CNN. According to the chief engineer of weaponry at the ministry's General Directorate for Armament, the HELMA-P system can shoot powerful laser beams that heat up drones to a point where they either catch fire or overheat and shutdown. Philippe Gros, senior research fellow at French security and defense think tank Foundation for Strategic Research, said that in recent years drone threats have increased exponentially, including for major events, such as the Olympics. However, a powerful laser weapon being used in densely populated areas, such as Paris, has brought up safety concerns. "An important part of the anti-drone laser program is the safe operation of this weapon," the ministry noted. According to experts, a laser weapon system is one of the most cost-effective ways to counter drone threats in urban areas. "One of the reasons lasers are interesting is that, compared to interception missiles, there are no explosives involved and even if the drone explodes, it is just its debris that will fall. In general, it brings less collateral damage," Gros told CNN. "The problem is that drones are becoming more and more autonomous, they can fly many parts of the mission without an operator," he added. "Anti-drone laser weapons still have many weaknesses. For example, bad weather can impact their accuracy and efficiency. The industry is still on a learning path," Gros said.

The Tiger I was in use in World War II from late 1942 until the German surrender in 1945. It was given its "Tiger" nickname by Ferdinand Porsche (the Roman numeral was added after the Tiger II was produced). Tiger I was the German heavy tank of World War II. The initial official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H (abbreviated PzKpfw VI Ausf. H, Ausführung is German for "version") but the tank was redesignated as Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E in March 1943. This is a ABS Plastic model kit made by Targa of Japan. It is a cut-away German Tiger Tank Model. I enjoy these cross-section models as you get to appreciate the vehicle both inside and out. The detailing of this model is outstanding, right down to the crew. This Tiger I tank is 1/48 scale and is about 7 inches or 18 cm long (including main gun), 3 inches or 7.5 cm wide and 2.5 inches or 6.5 cm high. This model came complete in 7 boxes and required assembly of the pre-painted sections but that was part of the fun! It may be small but it is not lacking. More details including the complete dismantling of this tank in the next post. Another GREAT cross-section vehicle released was the Space Battleship Yamato Mechanic File Set (review here) by Bandai. This is a nice (and unprecedented) model, I have it also. But its disappointing that they left out the commander MG34. It would also be better if they made it as the Tiger late version with Zimmermit armour. hey tony, I don't collect much vehicles because when displayed horizontally, they take up much more space as compared to action figures which are displayed vertically. Also the ones with all the nice details are usually much larger in scale. 1/6 scale figures have the advantage of realism and seem most ideal for display en masse. That said, I still got this tiger tank because of its nice details at such a small scale :) I agree with you that Zimmermit coated armour would have been a really nice touch. Exelente modelo de plastimodelimo, boa pintura... Post a Comment

Professor Ted Postol "Missile Defense & the Rising Danger of Nuclear War with Russia" Tuesday, March 3, 2015 1575 I Street NW Marriott Conference Center (parking available in building) Missile defense is aggressively promoted by an unholy alliance of government, industry, and academia: Raytheon, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, MIT, National Academy of Sciences and both the Democratic and Republican parties. The program has taken on a life of its own. Postol's appearance is an opportunity to explore the confluence of political competition, the private sector opportunity to make large profits without product performance standards, and academic opportunism to gain favor with large government and industrial funders. In 2009, after initially expressing skepticism, President Obama reversed himself by announcing what he claimed is a new and radical approach to missile defense. Postol will explain why the radars in this system cannot properly track warheads and the interceptors cannot knock them down. Postol points out that the Missile Defense Agency agency has repeatedly misrepresented to Congress that long-range missile defenses can tell the difference between warheads and simple decoys. He will review the case that the agency has been rigging experiments and lying to Congress, allies, and Russia. Postol will show that Obama has abandoned his long-standing commitment to a world free of nuclear weapons by committing the nation to an ambitious trillion-dollar nuclear modernization program. Obama’s nuclear modernization seeks to create the capability to fight and win a nuclear war with Russia. Postol argues that the US missile defense program is destabilizing nuclear deterrence in ways that raise the risk of nuclear war and has contributed to the downward spiral in the US-Russian relationship. He will show that this failure of leadership started with the Clinton Administration and was eagerly carried forward by the Bush and Obama Administrations. The nuclear arms race is back. Most Americans imagined it had ended with the Cold War. Postol is far from alone in his concern about these developments. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has just advanced its famous Doomsday Clock to three minutes to midnight, indicating a level of danger exceeded only in 1953 after the US and Russia exploded their first hydrogen bombs. It notes that "the United States and Russia have embarked on massive programs to modernize their nuclear triads—thereby undermining existing nuclear weapons treaties." The Committee for the Republic is a citizen-based, non-partisan, nonprofit organization founded in 2003. The Committee sponsors speakers monthly on challenges to the American Republic, including the military-industrial complex, too-big-to-fail banks, campaign finance, and U.S. competitiveness.

What You Should Know About This Year November 24, 2020 Tips For Picking the most effective Glock 48 Holsters The best way to find an excellent, trusted, as well as safe pistol holster is to search online. There are a variety of great choices offered for a purchaser to select from and also there are some suggestions that can assist anyone make the best option. First, it is essential to consider what the kind of use you will be placing the handgun to. The even more you understand about just how you plan on utilizing your hand gun, the easier it will be to select the best one for your requirements. An additional variable to consider is just how much you are willing to invest in a holster. It does not matter if you purchase an inexpensive pistol hold or a really expensive model. It is necessary to remember that the even more money you pay for your gun, the much better the high quality of the holster must be. Likewise, premium models can commonly have a leather holster or even an aluminum attachment for the tool. These are very good to have, yet might not be required for you. Some customers like a nylon or carbon fiber alternative. You must likewise consider just how well you are able to conceal the gun. A properly designed holster will certainly be very easy to take out as well as put away when required, but it will be almost difficult for someone to see if there is something in the holster aside from your weapon. Ultimately, look at just how comfy you are with putting on the holster. Some designs can be awkward, while others can be hard to place on. Again, it depends upon the design that you are considering, yet constantly keep in mind that a great holster is comfortable. acquiring the most effective Glock holsters, there are a couple of different alternatives. A few of the more prominent alternatives are described listed below. The first alternative is one of the most usual and also is developed with a metal or timber structure that is affixed to a thick plastic grip. This sort of holster is simple to place on, yet may be awkward because of the density. Leather holsters are not as popular, however they have their advantages. They are usually a lot less comfy than steel choices, and they can be made to fit your particular hand gun. If you prefer a simpler style, belt clip options may be your ideal choice. You just clip your handgun onto the holster’s belt, which makes it really basic to get. It can also be used to bring several weapons if wanted.

Words: Khaled El-Domiaty, PE and Gary Bullock Photos: Courtesy of Protectiflex LLC and Enviromate Ltd An exciting and innovative building material that is both blast and ballistic resistant is now on the market, offering unprecedented protection for the security industry. ProtectiFlex masonry is a revolutionary material that is superior to much heavier concrete masonry blocks. The ProtectiFlex wall systems in concrete and masonry forms have been tested for blast, ballistic, and weapons threats globally and have earned several extreme loading accreditations. Also, the blocks have achieved a 2-hour fire rating with a minimum thickness of 4 inches. The ProtectiFlex blast, ballistic, and weapon effects testing have already taken place in the UK along with recently executed ballistic testing in the US and additional weapon effects testing in the UK. The role of ProtectiFlex is expansive, showing resistance to attack against blast, ballistic, forced entry, impact, weapon effects, fire, and seismic loads. As a result, it can be used to mitigate risk against accidents, natural disasters, and direct attacks. Its applications are also extensive with the ProtectiFlex masonry wall construction used in façade systems, shield walls, and much more. This proprietary technology combines recycled non-biodegradable material and composite fibers in a cement matrix. The beauty of ProtectiFlex is that it can be manufactured in a traditional concrete masonry plant using conventional equipment. This adaptability provides a cost-effective solution in a range of architectural finishes. In the UK, ProtectiFlex masonry blocks outclassed other comparative concrete masonry blocks tested under the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) criteria for a vehicle bomb threat explosion within a set of standoff distances. As well as the test performance, ProtectiFlex’s proprietary formula provides several advantages under extreme loading including superior damping, more flexibility, lighter weight, reduced fracture/spall mechanisms, and debris spread, enhanced tension-to-strain material characteristics, and superior compressive strain before failure. The Blast Test Arena for the ProtectiFlex masonry walls at the RAF Spadeadam Blast Range Test facility in the United Kingdom (see Figure 1) had five ProtectiFlex masonry walls of various thickness (ranging between 4 inches to 11inches) tested against a vehicle bomb explosion threat with various standoffs ranging between 40 ft and 80 ft. The walls were all orientated perpendicularly to the charge and the standoff was measured from the center of charge to the center of the walls (See Figure 2). Figure 1. Blast Arena Testing with ProtectiFlex Masonry Walls around the Bomb Threat. Figure 2. Blast Arena Test Arrangement of ProtectiFlex Masonry Walls around the Charge. HOW DID IT GO? The performance of the individual thickness of ProtectiFlex masonry wall was assessed from the loading blast pressure and impulse sustained, hazard type, protection category achieved, and EXV classification criteria compliance. The wall performance is summarised in Table 1 below. Table 1. Blast Performance Summary of ProtectiFlex Masonry at the Arena Testing |ProtectiFlex Wall Thickness||Comments on Test Results| |100mm||Tested to higher load criteria than required to achieve the Protection Category C25. Existing data for ordinary CMU construction of 100mm thickness is for EXV25 loading compliance only.| |215mm||Tested to higher load criteria than required to achieve the Protection Category C15.| |280mm||Tested to higher load criteria than required to achieve the Protection Category C15.| |The wall remained stabled following the test with only hairline cracking (<1mm) along the midspan. This performance proves adequate protection against the effects of a VBIED at 15m from a ProtectiFlex perimeter wall solution. The residual Stability of the wall indicates that sufficient protection is remaining in the wall post-blast to prevent/limit intruder access, provide protection against fragment throw and other ballistic threats.| Global Ballistic Testing In the UK, ballistic testing was undertaken by certified ballistic testing authorities to stringent British and European standards. ProtectiFlex was tested at David Goode Associates in the UK by the methodology demands of BS EN 1063:2000 and BS EN 1522. The tests demonstrate ProtectiFlex performance against various caliber sizes and speeds. ProtectiFlex not only stopped penetration of the projectile but also maintained structural integrity. The test barrel setup and test results are provided below. Figure 3. Test Barrel set-up Table 2. Ballistic Test Results by the British Standards. The ballistic resistance testing evaluation of the ProtectiFlex Masonry technology was recently fabricated with the Spherical Block LLC interlocking masonry technology configuration as shown in Figure 4 was be conducted at Oregon Ballistic Laboratories (OBL) in Salem, Oregon. The tests were for various thicknesses between 8 inches and 12 inches following UL 752 Standard for Bullet-Resisting Equipment and Materials and NIJ-STD-0108.01 standard for ballistic resistance protective materials in OBL’s indoor range as shown in Figure 5. The muzzle of the test barrel mounted at selected distances from the target will be positioned to produce 0-degree obliquity impacts. A follow-up ballistic tests results summary publication will be issued this year. Figure 4. Protectiflex Masonry Wall with Corrugated Interlock Spherical Wall Profile Figure 5. OBL Indoor Ballistic Range NIJ Level IV ballistic resistance per NIJ-STD-0108.01 is targeted with one shot of a 0.30 Cal M2AP ballistic threat at a targeted velocity of 2850 ft/s +/- 50 f/s. Four infrared velocity light screens, in conjunction with time-based frequency counters, will be positioned such that projectile velocity will be measured 8.25ft from the target. Penetrations and overall performance of the test specimen will be determined by examination of the test specimen and the 0.020-inch 2024-T3 aluminum observation panel mounted 6 inches behind and parallel to the test specimen. UL Level 8 to UL Level 10 ballistic resistance per UL 752 is targeted as summarized in Table 3 below. Four infrared velocity light screens, in conjunction with time-based frequency counters, will be positioned such that projectile velocity will be measured 8.25 ft from the target. Penetrations and overall performance of the test specimen will be determined by examination of the test specimen and the1/8” thick corrugated cardboard panel mounted 18 inches behind and parallel to the test sample. Table 3. Ballistic Threat Summary for UL 752 Level 8, Level 9 and Level 10 |Targeted Ballistic Rating||Ballistic Threat||Number of Shots||Targeted Velocity| |UL Level 8||M80, Copper||5||2750 ft/s +/- 275 ft/s| |UL Level 9||0.30 Cal M2AP||1||2715 ft/s +/- 271 ft/s| |UL Level 10||0.50 Cal M33 Ball||1||2810 ft/s +/- 281 ft/s| Ballistic and Forced Entry Testing Facility Oregon Ballistic Laboratories, LLC (OBL) was founded in Salem, OR in September 2004. OBL employees include degreed engineers, physicists, and ballistics technicians with over 75 years of combined ballistic testing experience. OBL has the following accreditations, certifications, and licenses: · US Department of Justice National Institute of Justice personal body armor testing certification to NIJ STD 0101.06. · ATC Contract Number W91CRB-10-D-0006, Awarded Oct. 30, 2009. · US Department of State certification to DOS SD-STD-01.01 Rev G. · US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosive licenses: o Type 10 o Type 11 o Type 33 · National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program. OBL is accredited to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) personal body armor standard 0101.06. This accreditation covers NIJ standards NIJ 0101.04 and 0101.06, including Section 5 (Flexible Armor Conditioning Protocol) and Section 6 (Hard Armor Conditioning Protocol). The accreditation recognizes demonstrated technical competence in the testing of Personal Protective Equipment to NIJ standards, and the effectiveness of OBL’s Quality Management System per the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. Weapon Effects Testing THE LAST WALL STANDING In a demonstration conducted by The Royal Engineers at Cranfield University Ordnance Test and Evaluation Centre (COTEC) in the UK, a ProtectiFlex masonry wall along with competing products was tested against weapon effects from a 105mm artillery shell, 122mm rocket, and 155mm artillery shell at selected standoffs. All mitigation products were placed at an equal distance of 5 ft (1.5m) from the explosive weapon devices. ProtectiFlex masonry wall specimen composed of two interwoven block layers throughout the wall thickness and was the only wall left standing after the 155mm Artillery Shell threat test. As shown in Figure 6 below The results were: 105mm Artillery Shell Threat –Overall wall system was intact. Minor damage to the face of the wall from the blast and fragmentation and no spalling on the back face. 122mm Rocket Threat – Overall wall system was intact. Moderate damage to the face of the wall and no spalling on the back face. 155mm Artillery Shell Threat- Upon exploding, the 155 artillery shell devastated the contained area, with the ProtectiFlex wall being the only one to survive with no spalling on the back face. Figure 6- 155 mm Artillery Shell Post-Test with ProtectiFlex Wall Intact Ballistic Performance Demonstration by Royal Engineers The Royal Engineers at COTEC tested ProtectiFlex masonry alongside competing products for ballistic and blast-resistant walls. All the blocks faced 30mm Rarden cannon shells fired from a Warrior IFV F510 at 875 yards among a range of other weaponry. A range of weapons effects was tested on the ProtectiFlex masonry blocks. Weapons fired included: - 5.56mm SA80A2 fired 60 rounds - 7.62mm GPMG fired 200 rounds - .338 Lapua L115A3 fired 20 rounds, - .50 Accuracy International AX.50 fired 10 rounds and Heavy Machine Gun .50 - 30mm Rardon Cannon on a Warrior IFV Additional weapons effects testing was recently conducted this year in the UK, and information will be published in the coming period. The range of calibers used in the COTEC Trial Supplemental Ballistic Trial Results 5.56mm fired at 5 ½” ProtectiFlex masonry wall. The wall was constructed with the thinnest part (5 ½ “) of the blocks’ surface, facing the projectile. On inspection of the wall, there were only three light strike marks (indicated below in the red circles). There was minimum-to-no damage to the blocks. See the photo below. 7.62mm fired at 4” ProtectiFlex masonry wall. This wall was constructed with the thinnest part (4”) of the blocks’ surface, facing the projectile. On inspection of the wall, there were several strike marks (indicated below in the red circles). The lower right strikes made minimum damage. The two high left strikes hit the edges of the brick causing scabbing to the front of the wall. None of the rounds passed through the wall. See the photos below. .50 fired at 7 ½” ProtectiFlex masonry wall. This wall was constructed with the blocks’ longer side facing the projectile There were two strike marks (indicated below in the red circles). On the back of the wall, there are two scab marks, one round can be seen in the top right of the second photo with the second round possibly passing through on the lower left. With such successful test results on many fronts, ProtectiFlex seems destined to be the material of the future. WHO IS BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY? Protectiflex, LLC is a small business in NY that was established by the primary engineers of Stone Security Engineering, PC (STONE), and the original developers of the patented material, Enviromate, Ltd., who were utilizing it in a masonry block product form in the United Kingdom.

When the moronic hoplophobes of the liberal-left began clamoring for gun bans back in the late 60s/early 70s, the object of their prohibitionism was the handgun. Now the Heller and McDonald decisions are the law of the land, in which handguns are explicitly set forth as examples of the type of weapon protected by the Second Amendment as applied to the states. So, today the object of hoplophobic obsession is the so-called "assault weapon", which the hoplophobes rather blithely imagine Heller exempts from constitutional protection. But which weapon, if you had to guess, is used in the vast majority of gun-related crimes? You guessed it: the handgun. "Assault weapons" (i.e., mere semiautos cosmetically patterned after military arms) are used in about one-fifth of one percent of all violent crimes and about one percent in gun crimes. What, oh what, is a hoplophobe to do!? Well, "let's not think about that dilemma", says the libby-left hoplophobe. "My brain hurts." "Nevertheless, I think banning 'assault weapons' is clearly a commonsense sort of thing for us to do." Really now? And what, pray tell, is an "assault weapon?" Is this an assault weapon?: Colt Model 1911 No? How about this?: Marlin Camp Rifle Mmmmm, probably not. Doesn't look military enough, and besides, it's a "camp rifle", you say. OK, well how about this?: No. A hunting rifle, you say? OK, well then surely this is an assault weapon: Yes, that last one is clearly an assault weapon. It's an AK-47, right? Wrong. It's a semiautomatic version of the AK-47 called the M70AB2. And like all the the three foregoing weapons, which you say are not "assault weapons", it fires one bullet with every pull of the trigger. It is the same self-loading technology that the old Colt semiauto handgun in the first photo above reflects: one squeeze of the trigger; one bullet. This technology has been around since the turn of the 20th century. Oh, and here's that "hunting rifle", the Ruger Mini-14, dressed up a little differently: Starting to feel a little silly now, are you? If not, you should be. A true assault weapon is a selective-fire weapon (i.e., capable of automatic fire in addition to semiautomatic fire), which in the full auto mode is able to "spray" bullets by merely holding the trigger down, and is generally available only to police and military. The semiautomatic firearms falsely called "assault weapons" that you want to ban so badly are merely dressed up as military arms. But they operate no differently than the Colt handgun: one pull of the trigger; one bullet. What increases or decreases their potential lethality is a detachable component called the "magazine": L: 30-round AK mags. R: 10-round AK mags. If you were halfway intelligent (and halfway principled), you'd seek to ban the high-capacity mags instead of the firearm itself. But then you'd be faced with a further dilemma: there are gazillions of these mags already in circulation, and even if there weren't, they are easily manufacturable and tradable on the black market. So, it would seem you're stuck with semiauto "assault weapons" whether you like it or not. Ban them, and you'll still have millions of other semiautos, which are functionally no different than the banned "assault weapons", with gazillions of high capacity mags. OK, you say, we're stuck with them, but maybe we can at least make people who own semiautos register their weapons. Except that you can't. Pass a registration law, and the vast majority of Americans who own these weapons will not comply, just as the vast majority of such gun owners in states that have registration laws have refused to comply with those laws. They are not so stupid as to register their guns with the GOVERNMENT, for crying out loud. The guns are meant to control government, not the other way around, and besides, Americans are under no constitutional obligation to register their arms, regardless of what some lawmaking body might decide. So, you can't really ban or even "control" so-called "assault weapons", because the millions upon millions of semiautos that are already owned are not in any way, shape or form true assault weapons (including the much smaller subset of several millions of them that have military configurations), and the vast majority of all those millions upon millions of semiautos will remain "paperless" (i.e., unregistered). Oy, what, oh what is a hoplophobe to do!?

Great Quotations of World War II Field Marshall Erwin Rommel| "Anyone who has to fight, even with the most modern weapons, against an enemy in complete command of the air, fights like a savage against modern European troops, under the same handicaps and with the same chances of success." "When I said that British fighter-bombers had shot up my tanks with 40mm shells, the Reichsmarschall who felt himself touched by this, said: 'That's completely impossible. The Americans only know how to make razor blades.' I replied: 'We could do with some of those razor blades, Herr Reichsmarshall.'" return to main menu

U.S. ‘Not Optimistic’ Heading Into Iran Nuclear Talks JNS.org – U.S. officials expressed pessimism going into nuclear talks with Iran in New York as a wide range of gaps remain between the two sides, especially over Iran’s uranium enrichment program. “Coming into New York, I think many of us were not very optimistic,” a senior Obama administration official said Thursday, adding that “everyone has come here to go to work.” The latest round of nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 powers—U.S., U.K., France, Germany, China, and Russia—is being held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Negotiators are attempting to reach a permanent deal on Iran’s nuclear program by the Nov. 24 deadline, as stipulated in an interim nuclear deal signed last year and extended in July. The P5+1 has said that it would allow Iran to retain 5-percent uranium enrichment capability, while Iran maintains that it wants that number at 20 percent, which nuclear experts say is just below the threshold of nuclear weapons breakout capability. Israel has said that any final nuclear deal must include Iran dismantling its entire program and not having any enrichment capability.

There are several important points to consider if you plan to carry a firearm. Self-Defense Weapons do save lives. According to Gary Kleck, PhD., firearms are used about 2.5 million times a year to stop crimes without a shot being fired. Never draw a weapon unless you intent to fire it and never draw a weapon just to intimidate. Deadly force is NOT present – until you actually pull the trigger of your firearm. Substantial responsibility comes with owning a firearm. Quality training and regular practice under the supervision of an expert instructor is needed for all who purchase a firearm. One defensive method is to try and make your enemy think you are crazier than they are. There are times when loud bluster and “fake” erratic behavior could unnerve an aggressor. When a shooter believes you are unarmed, his bravado becomes pronounced. However, normally a person who is “under-control” will be viewed as a competent opponent, who is going to “kick your behind” or put a hole in your head. It is a completely different ballgame when the proposed target can and will shoot back. It is hard to “aim” when you are busy “ducking.” Having the option to shoot back at an assailant determined to take your life, is evened when you have the means to shoot back. The “playing-field” changes dramatically and the assailant must contemplate whether to “bail-out” and disappear or continue their aggressive approach. What are some indicators of a carjacking about to take place? How about when a group of individuals divide and approach your “static” vehicle from opposite sides at the same time. One attacker targets the driver while the other attackers approach and try to enter the vehicle at the same time. However, when the “targeted driver” has a gun and shows it; many car-jackers will be deterred and end their attack. The visibility of a gun can act as a deterrent. A firearm does prevent many attacks without ever having to be fired. One advantage of a revolver is you can load the chambers with different rounds of ammunition, such as “soft points” verses fully jacketed, rounds. Soft point rounds penetrate a person about an inch and expand and stop quickly. The result of being shot with a “soft point” is incredible pain, but is rarely fatal. Fully jacketed, rounds tend to penetrate deep into a person’s body. They are of high velocity, causes great damage, and are usually fatal. The goal of personal defense is to stop an impending attack, not to kill. Fully jacketed, rounds many times over penetrate a person. Jacketed hollow points and to a lesser degree “soft points” likely will expand, causing a larger puncture wound. Jacketed hollow points and soft points are likely to stop the attacker. Jacketed hollow points and soft points can decrease the possibility of over-penetration. Non-Lethal Self Defense Weapon: TASER X2 Defender For those who would prefer to carry a non-lethal weapon for self-defense; one of the very best products is the TASER X2 Defender. High Performance Security now available to the public The Best Choice in Personal Defense - Most effective option for personal defense - Backup shot and Stun capability - Designed to incapacitate multiple attackers simultaneously - Protection from a 15-foot distance - Warning Arc – without firing the cartridge or unloading the TASER, you can visibly arc electricity across the front of the device and use as a stun gun in close encounters or display charge to an attacker without using force - Trusted by law enforcement - Dual laser sights show you exactly where both probes are expected to hit the attacker - Replaceable battery provides 500 firings - Compact design weighs only 11.5 ounces - Easy trigger pull with no recoil - IPX2-rated weatherproof technology increases functionality in tough conditions Non-lethal weapons by definition are intended to be less likely to kill a living target than conventional weapons. Whenever force is used, people are going to get hurt. With non-lethal weapons, serious injury is reduced. Law enforcement agencies, military forces, and peacekeeping forces; use non-lethal weapons and, or lethal force weapons. Familiarize yourselves with the terms , “less lethal” or “less than lethal weapons,” also.

Today I made a new Lino about a helicopter named “Sea King”. This helicopter is my favorite one in Daxford War Museum, it looks like a tiger. I also searching some information about this helicopter. Sea King is a British licence-built version of the American Sikorsky S-61 helicopter of the same name, built by Westland Helicopters. The aircraft differs considerably from the American version, with Rolls-Royce Gnome engines (derived from the US General Electric T58), British-made anti-submarine warfare systems and a fully computerised flight control system. The Sea King was primarily designed for performing anti-submarine warfare (ASW) missions. A Sea King variant was adapted by Westland as troop transport known as the Commando. In British service, the Westland Sea King provided a wide range of services in both the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. As well as wartime roles in the Falklands War, the Gulf War, the Balkans conflict, the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War, the Sea King is perhaps most well known in its capacity as a Royal Navy Search and Rescue (red and grey livery) and RAF Search and Rescue Force (yellow livery) helicopter. The Sea King was also adapted to meet the Royal Navy’s requirement for a ship-based airborne early warning platform. The red colour just like the war and blood, so I use this colour to be the background.

From: Andy King (firstname.lastname@example.org) Date: Wed, Aug 31, 2016 As one might suspect, Berdan’s men were coveted targets for the enemy. On one occasion when a member of the 1st U.S.S.S. was killed in an advanced rifle pit, some Confederates managed to get to his body. After confiscating his extremely accurate weapon, they left the Yankees a note indicating that they hoped to get more of these guns in the future. That same incident also made the Southern papers, which boasted that a “McClellan Sharpshooter had been picked off by a Kentucky hunter.” While they were in front of Yorktown, Berdan’s men talked about one particular Confederate marksman more than any other—a black sharpshooter. It seems he occupied a hollow tree more than 1,000 yards in front of their line. Apparently armed with a telescopic rifle, he kept the pickets pinned down with effective fire. Andy King-C&H Farms

On the 23rd of December 2013, legendary inventor of the AK-47 Mikhail Kalashnikov died of old age. During the second world war, after being hospitalised due to combat wounds, Kalashnikov supposedly overheard fellow Soviet soldiers complaining about their rifles. Being a mechanical engineer, he decided to develop a new Russian rifle: the AK-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova), or simply called the Kalashnikov. Loved by rebels, self-proclaimed freedom fighters, terrorists and third-world armies alike, this rifle exceeded the wildest expectations of the USSR when first introduced: its simple, durable and deadly design still makes it a prime export product of Russia and one of the most popular guns in the world. The Peasants’ Rifle The second world war and its geopolitical successor the cold war made it clear that both the United States of America (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) had developed a distinctly different approach to combat and weaponry. On the one hand, the USA usually had well-trained and equipped soldiers at their disposal, which meant they could have more precise and difficult rifle designs. On the other hand you had the Soviet strategic vision of the Red Army peasant-soldier sent to fight for the communist cause at and beyond their borders -a romantic image inspired by the 1917 Russian Revolution. Sharing its USSR-border with around 15 neighbours the USSR had to send out civilians to defend their homeland on multiple occasions during the 20th-century. The fact that the USSR was often forced to throw their conscripted civilians with no prior battle training onto the battlefield , meant a different approach to gun design was needed: Soviet rifles had to be straightforward and easy to use. Accuracy was not a top priority, simplicity was key. The AK-47: ubiquitous and indiscriminate Cheap to manufacture and assemble, the AK-47 gave the USSR a major head start as a weapon supplier for their socialist and communist allies during the cold war. Today for no more than €350 AK-47′s can be bought via the internet. In action films, AK-47 replicas are usually not used: it is cheaper to buy a real AK than to pay for a well-fabricated replica. Wildly distributed and modified (surprisingly the USA is currently the biggest manufacturer), the AK-47 has been used everywhere, from the jungles of Central- and Latin America, to the steppes of Asia and the deserts of Africa. Even though the United States tried to produce an American equivalent to the AK-47, the M16, their gun has never enjoyed the success of its Soviet counterpart. Numbers of usage staggeringly show that the AK-47 is by far the most popular gun: numbers easily go above 100 million AK-47 produced and in circulation, whilst the M16′s produced is estimated at around 10 million. This brings us to another explanation as to why the AK-47 is still the most popular rifle in the world. Thanks to it easy-to-use mechanism and a bountiful supply of battle-ready weapons supplied via unscrupulous arms dealers, the AK-47 is bound to appear wherever a revolution, coup or countercoup begins. It has been proven multiple times that children can pick it up from the ground and start shooting, which is exactly what some do or have to do. Even under water, or totally covered in mud, the AK-47 will fire. The anecdote of an AK-47 which was buried for 18 years together with a whole bunch of other military weaponry illustrates this point well: after being dug up, it was the only gun that worked perfectly. Spread all over the world, and incredibly easy to produce, the Kalashnikov will continue to be assembled for years to come -most often ending up in the wrongest of hands. In September 2013, Al-Shabab terrorists used the AK-47 to sow death and destruction in the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, costing the lives of 72 people. From Libya, Syria and Somalia to Mali and Afghanistan, the AK-47 is the weapon of choice for terrorism. Looking back on his invention this was one of the things Mikhail Kalashnikov regretted the most: “I’m proud of my invention, but I’m sad that it is used by terrorists.” In his many interviews, he stated that he never lay awake at night wondering about all the lives his invention has taken, though he deplored their widespread use as instruments of crime and terror. As veteran of the eastern front of the second world war, he instead tells us the world needs to blame the Nazi’s for making him a weapon developer in the first place :“I just designed the AK-47 because my motherland needed to be defended. It was designed as a weapon of defense, not offense.” The gun and the successful Soviet propaganda-machine brought Mikhail Kalashnikov both fame and notoriety, landing him a top spot in the former USSR weapons-manufacturing bureaucracy and six legislative terms in the Supreme Soviet, the USSR’s primary legislative body. After the fall of the USSR, Mr. Kalashnikov still reminisced nostalgically about the Soviet-Union and continued to appear in public to try to recast the AK-47’s notorious legacy in a positive way and complain about the knockoffs that are being manufactured illegally by former Soviet allies and cutting into Russian sales. Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the rifle that has started and ended more revolutions than any other weapon in history, died on Monday in Izhevsk, the capital of the Russian republic of Udmurtia, where he lived. He was 94.

Biden’s gun control plan is terrible for working class firearm owners tldr: the proposal is to make all semiautomatic weapons NFA items. Meaning they would have to be possessed with a $200 tax on each gun and magazine which can be argued means low income folks are even less able to arm themselves. [archive.org to bypass paywall] for people who aren't gun people, "semi-automatic" means it shoots one shot at a time, but automatically loads the next shot. Fully-automatic is already an NFA item. This would mean all modern pistols and rifles would be NFA items (aside from bolt action rifles, pump action shotguns, and revolvers. So, this would make a bolt action 50cal rifle, that can shoot through the side of a tank, legal to purchase without filing with the federal government. However, my 10/22 which shoots 22lr for plinking cans and hunting small game, and bounces off sheet metal, an "assault weapon" guns, covid, trumps @polymerwitch so basically the rich get to own their murder tools but the poor are unable to get anything to defend themselves and the cops won’t help. That‘s certainly a way to prevent a revolution. @polymerwitch not mentioned in this article is the waiting list for an NFA stamp, which is already at 6 months or more for the items that are already on the list (short-barrelled rifles and suppressors come to mind) and will probably be measured in years if this somehow gets through this is straight disarmament @polymerwitch for fuck's sake, what the fuck democrats So buy your guns now if you can afford it... @tulsi if this passes as is being discussed you would have to surrender it or pay a $200 tax for each gun and each magazine. So it will mostly affect poor people The home of polymerwitch (aka ShowerPickles). This is a single user instance, so I'm not going to write a code of conduct for myself. Feel free to discuss any issues with me and you can use my profile as a metric for if you want to federate with me or not.

Boeing’s Airborne Laser Team Begins Laser Activation Tests ST. LOUIS, May 28, 2008 — The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA], industry teammates and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency achieved another significant milestone for the Airborne Laser (ABL) missile defense program this month by completing the first laser activation testing on the ground at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. “ABL’s weapon system integration team has done a great job preparing the high-energy laser for activation testing, which will ensure each laser subsystem is brought on line sequentially and safely,” said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager of Boeing Missile Defense Systems. “Laser installation and the start of laser activation move the program a giant step closer to ABL’s missile shoot-down demonstration planned for 2009.” The final plumbing and wiring installations will be completed in the coming weeks. All major components of the weapon system, including the battle management system, laser components, and beam control/fire control system, were installed earlier. Laser activation testing is a methodical process to ensure ABL’s high-energy chemical laser has been properly integrated aboard the aircraft and is ready to produce enough power to destroy a ballistic missile. The tests first flow water or other inert substances through the laser to verify its integrity. Next, the laser’s chemicals flow through the laser to confirm sequencing and control. When the activation tests are complete, ground firings of the laser will occur, followed by flight tests of the entire ABL weapon system. The test phase will culminate in an airborne intercept test against a ballistic missile in 2009. The ABL aircraft consists of a modified Boeing 747-400F whose back half holds the high-energy laser, designed and built by Northrop Grumman. The aircraft’s front half contains the beam control/fire control system, developed by Lockheed Martin, and the battle management system, provided by Boeing. Boeing is the prime contractor for ABL, which will provide speed-of-light capability to destroy all classes of ballistic missiles in their boost phase of flight. ABL’s speed, precision and lethality also have potential for other missions, including destroying air-to-air, cruise and surface-to-air missiles. A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is one of the world’s largest space and defense businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is a $32.1 billion business with 71,000 employees worldwide. Moderator: •••@••.••• (comments welcome)

Whether to carry a pocket knife or not, that is a personal choice. For men, they fall into two broad categories. There are those who do not see the need to carry and those who cannot imagine a life without this multi-task tool. But that is not the subject of today. Instead, the focus will be on how to find the best pocket knife when out there shopping for one. There are quite some considerations that go into buying a perfect pocket knife. Here is your guide to make the best decision. What do you need the knife for? A mechanic will need a different kind of knife from an accountant or police officer. Will be using your pocket knife every day or it will only be on the weekends? The environment where you will be using your knife will also count. What type of knife are you looking for? Once you have established the purpose of your knife and how you will be carrying it, you would also want to choose a type that will go with your preferences. There are two categories of pocket knives: classic and tactical. The classic type is simple and not commonly attached to a clip. Their handles are made of common materials such bones and wood. On the other hand, tactical knives have pocket clips and have blade locks. Their handles are made of modern plastics, metal or composite materials. The number of blades Single blade pocket knives are very common. But that does not mean you cannot get a multi-blade knife if you need it. Single blades are small and easy to carry around. The multi-blade is larger and is not easy to conceal. How you will carry your knife Most of the knives on the market today come with a pocket clip so that you will not have trouble carrying in your pocket. They tend to be a bit larger. But that design does not suit everyone. If that is the case, there are clip-free knives available. These are not so large, and you can completely conceal them in your pocket. Blade sizes range from small to large. If you intend to use your knife on light tasks, then a small one will be ideal. If you are likely to use it on little bit heavy tasks, then you can go for the medium-size blades. For a knife that will be useful for most tasks, the large-size blade is the best choice. Lock or not? Locking knives are considered safer than their non-locking cousins are. But your preference will be playing a big role in what you should choose. But to take care of your flesh, it is best you stick with the locking type. It is obvious that you will have a budget for the kind of knife you need. The prices range from affordable to expensive. Depending on what you want from your knife and the depth of your pocket, you should be able to make a good decision. You can get a pocket knife for less than $30 or more than $100. The choice is all yours.

9 Inch RIFLED MUZZLE LOADING (RML) GUN MIDDLE NORTH BATTERY SIMON’S TOWN The gun was designed in 1865 as a broadside gun for ironclad ships and harbour seafront defence. A total of 190 were made. The gun was last fired in 1903. This gun was first mounted in Halifax Nova Scotia until 1878, then at Bermuda until 1881 and then at Sheerness England until 1885. It was mounted at Middle North Battery Simon’s Town in 1896 where it still exists. The gun, carriage, slide and mounting were restored in the East Dockyard Gun Shop in 1984.

Off I went into the wild blue yonder on a vintage, World War II B-17 Bomber. The kind folks at the Experimental Aircraft Association who flew to Zamperini Field in Torrance, CA from Oshkosh, Wisconsin. They flew on the very B-17 Bomber, dubbed “Aluminum Overcast“and it took 10 hours! Margaret Viola is with the EAA publicity team. She told me the 10 hour flight was chalk full of amenities, like army-style seat belts. Oh, that was it. The plane does not have an air pressure lock like airliners. No, you can feel the air, and the rain, from your seat. Plus, with all that “flow-through ventilation,” oil and gas vapors from the four prop engines make for an aeromatic experience. Did I mention they flew for 10 hours? As uncomfortable as this sounds, the B-17 Bomber, for it’s time, was an aviation engineering marvel. It was called “The Flying Fortress” and it was armed to the hilt with 50 caliber machine guns and a bomb bay filled with some serious blasting power ready to drop on enemy targets across WWII Europe. [nggallery id=2]My flight on the B-17 Bomber was nothing short of spectacular. It was loud, and on a beautiful Southern California day, I could see for miles. Inside, the gun turrets are armed with 50 caliber machine guns (they were locked), and the bomb bay was packed with bombs (I’m guessing they were inert) ready to go. The highlight of the trip was my meeting Ignacio Sanchez, a 90-year old WWII veteran who was a B-17 Bomber ball turret gunner. He would lay on his back inside the steel turret on the belly of the plane and fire at incoming planes. He says he would be in there for 12 hours at a time. During a 7 months period, he flew 35 missions with the 305th Bomb Group. He’s pictures in the photo gallery on this page. Sharp as a tack, he was also agile enough to crawl into the nose of the plane and enjoy the view of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. It was an honor meeting and talking with him. I think his eyes welled up a little when the plan took off. I can only imagine his memories. You can enjoy a ground tour of take a 40 minute flight on the Aluminum Overcast” this weekend (4/26-4/28) at Zamperini Field in Torrance, CA.

Russian ‘Kinzhal’ hypersonic missile destroys Kiev’s US-made ‘Patriot’ air defense system CNN immediately resorted to damage control to save the “Patriot’s” reputation, as it only arrived late last month and just recently entered service, claiming that “a US-made ‘Patriot’ air defense system was likely damaged, but not destroyed”. Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst For most of this month, the mainstream propaganda machine has been parroting the same story over and over again – a Russian 9-A-7660 “Kinzhal” air-launched hypersonic missile was shot down by a US-made “Patriot” SAM (surface-to-air missile) system. The “conclusive” evidence cited by the political West is laughable at best, but it was enough to convince those without specific knowledge of how weapons actually work, which includes most of the population. Moscow didn’t really comment on the claims. Or to be exact, not until the early hours of May 16, when the actual response came in a very “non-rhetorical” form. Namely, the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) launched a SEAD (suppression of enemy air defenses) mission over Kiev, with the operation including two “Kinzhal” hypersonic missiles, which were used to neutralize at least one battery of the “Patriot” SAM system. While neither side commented on the variant of the destroyed US-made air defense system, video evidence shows that it was most likely one of the latest iterations, the PAC-3 MSE (Missile Segment Enhancement upgrade) that also includes the much-touted CRI (Cost Reduction Initiative) interceptors. The cost of a single CRI missile currently stands at close to $5,300,000, meaning that the 32 interceptors fired by the Kiev regime forces amounted to nearly $170,000,000. Such a massive quantity of interceptors was still nowhere near enough to stop the Russian hypersonic weapons, although the Neo-Nazi junta announced that it shot down most of the missiles fired by the VKS, including the claim that it allegedly neutralized six “Kinzhals”, despite the fact that the Russian military used only two during this attack. Although Moscow didn’t publicly reveal this, the information is based on the comments from the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu himself. In response to the Kiev regime’s reverie, Shoigu stated laconically: “The figures given by the Ukrainians about the interception of Russian missiles are [usually] three times higher than the amount [of weapons] we actually use.” Several military experts estimate that the VKS used a lot of decoys of various types to bait the air defenses in and around Kiev, which would explain the claims of the local authorities that the Russian strike was “exceptional in density”. The Neo-Nazi junta officials stated that the attack also included cruise missiles and drones. Local air defense forces allegedly shot down 18 missiles and nine drones, including six “Kinzhal” hypersonic missiles. The claims are widely ridiculed by military experts and numerous Telegram channels, with dozens of memes and practical jokes being posted by users and commenters. Serhiy Popko, the head of the capital city’s military administration, stated: “The barrage was exceptional in its density, with the maximum number of missiles in the shortest time possible, but the vast majority of enemy targets in Kiev airspace were detected and destroyed.” CNN, the flagship of the mainstream propaganda machine, immediately resorted to damage control to save the “Patriot’s” reputation, as it only arrived late last month and just recently entered service, claiming that “a US-made ‘Patriot’ air defense system was likely damaged, but not destroyed, as the result of a Russian missile barrage in and around Kiev early Tuesday morning local time”, citing a US official as its source. The report further claims that “the US is still assessing to what degree the system was damaged”, adding that “this will determine whether the system needs to be pulled back entirely or simply repaired on the spot by Ukrainian forces”. It also noted that “a US National Security Council spokesperson referred CNN to the Ukrainian government for comment”. Such advice by the US government can only be interpreted by the fact that even Washington DC simply wants to avoid having to do anything with the Neo-Nazi junta’s ridiculous claims. The issue obviously lies in the fact that such laughable propaganda is not only completely unsubstantiated, but also makes the US itself look like a laughingstock of the world. This is particularly noticeable when looking at somewhat less propagandistic US media, such as The National Interest. Geoff LaMear, the author of one of the analyses recently published by the TNI, stated that “Patriot missiles won’t save Ukraine“, with the following assessment: “‘Patriot’ systems are limited to pinpoint defense of major assets and are designed to operate in tandem with air defenses engaging targets at higher and lower altitudes. Without these additions, ‘Patriot’ will have too many threats to engage and the result will either be porous coverage that doesn’t protect its defended assets, or coverage that quickly subsides when ‘Patriot’ runs out of interceptors. Moreover, ‘Patriot’ systems are themselves vulnerable. Operating a ‘Patriot’ radar system gives away its location, making it an open target for Russian attacks. This means that ‘Patriot’ is not a one-stop-shop for defending Ukraine’s military assets or its people.” Indeed, the “Patriot” is simply one segment of the US air defense/ABM (anti-ballistic missile) doctrine that also includes several other types of longer-range systems and interceptors. However, considering how lucrative air defense contracts are, the political West will surely continue suppressing any information about the destruction of its much-touted systems, while also parroting the ludicrous claims that Russian hypersonic weapons are being shot down by these same SAM systems. Such assertions come despite the fact that even top US officials repeatedly reiterated that there’s no viable defense against maneuvering hypersonic targets. This includes President Joe Biden himself, who stated last year that the “Kinzhal” cannot be intercepted.

Nightfighters (source: German Aces over Holland) In Netherlands two Nachtjagdgeschwader (NJG) were active. NJG1 was founded on 22 June 1940 in Mönchengladbach, Germany. This Nachtjagdgeschwader is the most successful Squadron of the second world war with 2311 victories, both day and night. In the beginning of the war the Luftwaffe was only focused on attacking the enemy. They realised that the Englishmen also were able to attack German cities and industries especially at night. The assault squadrons Zerstörergeschwader 1 (ZG 1) and IV./Zerstörergeschwader 26 (ZG 26), were therefore from June 1940 retrained from attacking units in defensive units, specialized in detecting and destroying Allied bombers at night. In september 1940 a part of NJG1 transformed to NJG2 at Gilze-Rijen and merged with parts of Zerstörergeschwader 2 (ZG 2).Zerstörergeschwader ZG 76 was also added to the nachtjagergeschwader 1 and 2. Dornier DO 17Z-7/10 The DO 17 was called the flying pencil because of its narrow shape. The planes were developed as light bombers, but by various modifications it was also suitable as a night fighter. Helmut Woltersdorf had often flown in this type of aircraft. In 1941 the DO 17 production stopped and was replaced by the much better flying Junckers Ju 88 Dornier Do 215B-5 The DO 215 was the successor of the Do17. The 215 was widely used for reconnaissance flights and was equipped with multiple camera’s. The 215B-5 nightfighter version, also called the Kauz III (OWL) for his spanner-anlage. The intention was to use this device to detect enemy aircraft during the finding of the enemy by night. De spanner-anlage was not successful due to too much interference. This type of aircraft was later on also equipped with Lichtenstein radar, but was taken out off service in 1944. Junkers Ju 88C The Junckers 88A was originally designed as Hunter/bomber with fixed forward facing machine guns. There are several variations of this type developed in the course of the war. In total 16,000 Ju 88s built. The first nightfighter version was the C version, with a 20 mm MG FF cannon and three 7.92 mm (0.312 inch) MG 17 machine guns. These were placed in a steel nose piece. The first aircraft were used by the Zerstörerstaffel 30 or KG30, which was quickly retrained to II/ NJG 1 in July 1940. In 1942 the C-6b version was first equipped with Lichtenstein FuG B/C radar and extensively tested by NJG1 above the Netherlands. These aircraft were also converted In 1944 to the FuG 220 Lichtenstein SN-2 radar. Heinkel He 219 The Heinkel He 219 Uhu (OWL) was a night fighter which was deployed by the Germans at the end of the war. The aircraft was for that period a hyper modern plane, equipped with a well-functioning Lichtenstein radar SN2. Also it was the first military plane with ejection seats and a nose wheel. Because the construction was very complex the Germans couldn’t produce this aircraft fast enough. Otherwise this plane may have prolonged the war. In terms of flight characteristics the Heinkels were as dangerous as the English mosquito ‘s. Messerschmitt Bf 109 The name Messerschmitt Bf 109 is a composition of the name of the designer (Willy Messcherschmitt) and the name of the factory where the first aircraft were built (Bayerische Flugzeugwerke). During the early to mid 1930s production of this type of aircraft started. At that time it was a modern fighter with a closed cockpit, a retractable undercarriage and was propelled by a water-cooled inverted V12 engine. During the war the BF109 was equipped with stronger engines to stay competitive with the Allied fighters such as in the P-51D Mustang, Spitfire MK. XIV and the Hawker Tempest MK. V In total, more than 30000 BF109 were built during the second world war. Messerschmitt Bf 110 The BF 110 was also designed as an assault weapon. In the early days of the second world war these aircraft were successful at the air bases in Norway, Poland and France. Bf 110’s lack of agility in the air was its primary weakness. This flaw was exposed during the Battle of Britain, when some Bf 110-equipped units were withdrawn from the battle after very heavy losses and redeployed as night fighters, a role to which the aircraft was well suited. Most major night-fighter ACEs flew this aircraft. The most successful ACE, major Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer flew only in 110 ‘s and claimed 121 victories in 164 missions. In the beginning the BF110 was a 2 seater, however by the introduction of the radar equipment some versions were converted to 3 crew members: pilot, radio operator/navigator and gunner. The hunt for the bombers. In the beginning of the second world war the planes were sent into the air hoping to detect and destroy an enemy unit. This tactic was later on changed by the introduction of the Himmelbett in the so-called DUNAJA ” Dunkele Nachtjagd “. This was an attack technique by means of radar posts conducting the night fighter towards the enemy plane. At the right spot the pilot had to detect the bomber visualy. The successor of this technique was the so-called HENAJA “Helle Nachtjagd” The pilots were helped to locate the enemy by the use of searchlights on the ground. The searchlights were also controlled by the radar and ensured that the pilots of the bombers were temporarily blinded by the huge amount of light The pilot of the night fighter could intercept the target easier because it was illuminated. A big disadvantage of these two kinds of defence systems was that only 1 plane at the time could be controlled by a radar station in the hunt for Allied bombers. The allies at that time knew how the defence of the German Reich worked, and sent the bombers in larger groups. The chance of the survival of large group of bombers sending through only one defence zone was bigger. This was the beginning of the 1000 bomber raids. Wilde Sau (wild boar) Because the Germans, in turn, saw that the bombers flew by in large groups through 1 defence zone only, they had to change the method of search and destroy. The method of “Wilde Sau” was developed. When a bomber stream was detected by the early warning system of the coast radar stations the fighters were sent by the radar stations towards the stream of bombers, rallied above the bombers, while simultaneously the bombers were lit by searchlights from below. This system worked at it’s best when there was low-hanging clouds. The bombers could be detected against the backdrop for illuminated clouds. Also torches with the FLAK guns could in be shot around the area to additional illumination. By the burning city or installation the bombers were already lit, so the hunters could find the bombers easier. The biggest disadvantage of this system was that the hunters had to fly blind until they reached the bomber. A part of the fighters could not find the stream of bombers because the bombers were always flying in a zig-zag course. The technique of Wilde Sau was later replaced by the method “Zahme Sau”. Zahme Sau (tame boar) By linking the radar stations and the invention of an improved radar aboard the aircraft (Lichtenstein Radar), the attack was to with the codified Zahme Sau. The operation was as follows: At the time the radar stations on the coast were detecting a group of bombers all radar stations of the route of the bombers were warned. Per radar station 3 hunters were sent into the air and remained around a beacon (Funkfeuer). At the time the first bombers were in the area of the radar post the fighters were sent 1 by 1 towards the bomber stream and tried to detect and destroy the bombers with their own radar In the beginning of the war the night fighter pilots were completely depending on their own sightings if they “coincidentally” came against an enemy. Also in the HENAJA and DUNAJA the crews were complete depending on their own eye-observations. The first real attempts to detect an aircraft was the so-called spanner-anlage. A sort of infrared Viewer in the cockpit. The system has never really worked well because it received too many signals and the pilot had to find out blimp on her schreen was the bomber. Own eyes therefore remained necessary. The first real working radar was the so-called Lichtenstein. The FuG 202 Lichtenstein B/C had a 32 Di- pole antenna (matratze). The system had a limited reach and the signal was later on disturbed by with tinfoil from the allies. The second generation was the FuG 220 Lichtenstein SN-2. These had a huge construction on the nose of the fighter (Hirschgeweih). This speed was slowed down by 50 km/hour. Fortunately, the bombers flew in that time also not very fast, but a quick interception was restricted. Later versions of the SN-2 had a more compact antenna. Despite all these developments, these counter measurements didn’t stop the bombing of Germany and they had the face the fact that they lost the war. Fortunately. Find the bomber was 1 thing, disabling was a challenge in itself. The Bombers were well armed for attacks from above and especially from behind. An attack from the side was as good as impossible due to the forward-facing cannons and machine guns of the night fighter. The bomber had only a hefty blind spot on the underside of the aircraft. The night fighters therefore usually attacking the bomber from below. - The night fighter creeps cautious under the bomber and flies at the same speed as the bomber. - The night fighter quickly pulls out his plane. The night fighter starts to aim at the fuel tanks and the wings at first. - By raising the fighter it moves slower than the bomber and the fighter will hit the fuselage of the bomber. - At present, the fighter will be in the crosshairs of the tail gunner. If the fighter has a steeper angle than the crosshairs of the tail he can disable the gunner. Often less experienced night fighter pilots had some trouble getting the angle right and were shot down by the tail gunner. The Americans had solved the problem of attacks from below by placing a rotatable turret under the belly of the B17 flying fortress. The so-called Sperry Ball Turret. Another method of attacking bombers by the Germans was placing tilted machine guns placed in the middle of the cockpit. The Germans called this “Schräge Musik” literally translated angled music. This allowed the night fighter to crawl unseen under the belly of the bomber and attack it while they flew straight out. The crew of the bomber was often completely surprised by the attack. Crew members who survived an attack with this night fighter thought they were attacked by FLAK-fire.

Hermann Göring was a proponent of the Bf 110, and nicknamed it his Eisenseiten (“Ironsides”). Development work on an improved type to replace the Bf 110, theMesserschmitt Me 210 began before the war started, but its teething troubles resulted in the Bf 110 soldiering on until the end of the war in various roles, alongside its replacements, the Me 210 and the Me 410. The Bf 110 served with success in the early campaigns, the Polish, Norwegian and Battle of France. The Bf 110’s lack of agility in the air was its primary weakness. This flaw was exposed during the Battle of Britain, when some Bf 110-equipped units were withdrawn from the battle after very heavy losses and redeployed as night fighters, a role to which the aircraft was well suited. The Bf 110 enjoyed a successful period following the Battle of Britain as an air superiority fighter and strike aircraft in other theatres. During the Balkans Campaign, North African Campaign and on the Eastern Front, it rendered valuable ground support to the German Army as a potent fighter-bomber (Jagdbomber or Jabo). Later in the war, it was developed into a formidable night fighter, becoming the major night-fighting aircraft of the Luftwaffe. Most of the German night fighter aces flew the Bf 110 at some point during their combat careers, and the top night fighter ace of all time, MajorHeinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer, flew it exclusively and claimed 121 victories in 164 combat missions. Genesis and competition Throughout the 1930s, the air forces of the major military powers were engaged in a transition from biplane to monoplane designs. Most concentrated on the single-engine fighter aircraft, but the problem of range arose. The Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM), pushed by Hermann Göring, issued a request for a new multipurpose fighter called the Kampfzerstörer (battle destroyer) with long range and an internal bomb bay. The request called for a twin-engine, three-seat, all-metal monoplane that was armed with cannon as well as a bomb bay. Of the original seven companies, only Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (Messerschmitt), Focke-Wulf and Henschel responded to the request. Messerschmitt defeated Focke-Wulf, Henschel and Arado, and was given the funds to build several prototype aircraft. The Focke-Wulf design, the Focke-Wulf Fw 57, had a wing span of 25.6 m (84 ft) and was powered by two DB 600 engines. It was armed with two 20 mmMG FF cannons in the nose and a third was positioned in a dorsal turret. The Fw 57 V1 flew in 1936 but its performance was poor and the machine crashed. The Henschel Hs 124 was similar in construction layout to the Fw 57, equipped with two Jumo 210C for the V1. The V2 used the BMW 132Dc radial engines generating 870 PS compared with the 640 PS Jumo. The armament consisted of a single rearward-firing 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 15 machine gun and a single forward-firing 20 mm MG FF cannon. Messerschmitt omitted the internal bomb load requirement from the RLM directive to increase the armament element of the RLM specification. The Bf 110 was far superior to its rivals in providing the speed, range and firepower to meet its role requirements. By the end of 1935, the Bf 110 had evolved into an all-metal, low-wing cantilever monoplane of semi-monocoque design featuring twin rudders and powered by two DB 600A engines. The design was also fitted with Handley-Page wing slots. By luck (and pressure by Ernst Udet), RLM reconsidered the ideas of the Kampfzerstörer and began focusing on the Zerstörer. Due to these changes, the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke design better fitted RLM’s requests. On 12 May 1936, Rudolf Opitz flew the first Bf 110 out of Augsburg. But, as many pre-war designs found, the engine technologies promised were not up to acceptable reliability standards. Even with the temperamental DB 600 engines, the RLM found the Bf 110, while not as maneuverable as desired, was quite a bit faster than its original request specified, as well as faster than the then-current front line fighter, the Bf 109 B-1. Thus the order for four pre-production A-0 units was placed. The first of these were delivered on January 1937. During this testing, both the Focke-Wulf Fw 187and Henschel Hs 124 competitors were rejected and the Bf 110 was ordered into full production. The initial deliveries of the Bf 110 encountered several issues with delivery of the DB 600 motors, which forced Bayerische Flugzeugwerke to install Junkers Jumo 210B engines, leaving the Bf 110 seriously underpowered and able to reach a top speed of only 431 km/h (268 mph). The armament of the A-0 units was also limited to four nose-mounted 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns. Even without delivery of the DB 600 engines, Bayerische Flugzeugwerke began assembly of the Bf 110 in the summer of 1937. As the DB 600 engines continued to have issues, Bayerische Flugzeugwerke was forced to keep on using Jumo motors, the 210G, which supplied 515 kW (700 PS) each (versus the 471 kW/640 PS supplied by the 210B). Three distinct versions of the Bf 110B were built, the B-1, which featured four 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns and two 20 mm MG FF cannons. The B-2 reconnaissance version, which had a camera in place of the cannons, and the B-3 which was used as a trainer, with the cannons replaced by extra radio equipment. Only 45 Bf 110Bs were built before the Jumo 210G engine production line ended. The major identifier of the A and B 110s was the very large “mouth” bath radiators located under the engine. In late 1938, the DB 601 B-1 engines became available. With the new engine, the design teams removed the radiators under the engine and replaced them with water/glycol radiators, placing them under the wing to the outside of the engines. With the DB 601 engine, the Bf 110’s maximum speed increased to a respectable 541 km/h (336 mph) with a range of approximately 1,094 km (680 mi). Later production variants The production of the Bf 110 was put on a low priority in 1941 in expectation of its replacement by the Me 210. During this time, two versions of the Bf 110 were developed, the E and F models. The E was designed as a fighter bomber (Zerstörer Jabo), able to carry four 50 kg (110 lb) ETC-50 racks under the wing, along with the centerline bomb rack. The first E, the Bf 110 E-1 was originally powered by the DB 601B engine, but shifted to the DB 601P as they became available in quantity. A total of 856 Bf 110E models were built between August 1940 and January 1942.The E models also had upgraded armour and some fuselage upgrades to support the added weight. Most pilots of the Bf 110E considered the aircraft slow and unresponsive, one former Bf 110 pilot commenting the E was “rigged and a total dog.” The Bf 110F featured the new DB 601F engines which produced 993 kW/1,350 PS (almost double the power the original Jumo engines provided), which allowed for upgraded armour, strengthening, and increased weight with no loss in performance. Three common versions of the F model existed. Pilots typically felt the Bf 110F to be the best of the 110 line, being fully aerobatic and in some respects smoother to fly than the Bf 109, though not as fast. Eventually 512 Bf 110F models were completed between December 1941 and December 1942, when production gave way to the Bf 110G. Although the Me 210 entered service in mid-1941, it was withdrawn for further development. There were insufficient aircraft to fully replace the Bf 110, so it remained in service until the end of the war. In the wake of the failure of the Me 210, the Bf 110G was designed. Fitted with the DB 605B engines, producing 1,085 kW (1,475 PS) in “War Emergency” setting, and 997 kW (1,355 PS) at 5.8 km (19,000 ft) altitude, the Bf 110G also underwent some changes which improved the aerodynamics of the aircraft, as well as upgrading the nose armament. No Bf 110 G-1 existed, as the Bf 110 G-2 became the baseline Bf 110G and was fitted with a large number of Rüstsätze, making the G the most versatile of the Bf 110. The initial batch of six pre-series production G-0 aircraft built in June 1942 followed by 797 G-2, 172 G-3 and 2,293 G-4 models, built between December 1942 and April 1945. Pilots reported the Bf 110G to be a “mixed bag” in the air, in part due to all changes between the G and F series. However the Bf 110G was considered a superior gun platform with excellent all-around visibility, and considered, until the advent of theHeinkel He 219, the best of the Luftwaffe night fighters. The Bf 110’s main strength was its ability to accept unusually powerful air-to-air weaponry. Early versions had four 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns in the upper nose and two 20 mm MG FF/M cannons fitted in the lower part of the nose. Later versions replaced the MG FF/M with the more powerful 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons and many G-series aircraft, especially those who served in the bomber-destroyer role, had two 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108 cannons fitted instead of the MG 17. The defensive armament consisted of a single, flexibly mounted 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 15 machine gun. Late F-series and prototype G-series were upgraded to a 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 81 machine gun with a higher rate of fire and the G-series was equipped with the twin-barreled MG 81Z. Many G-series night fighters were retrofitted or factory-built with the Schräge Musik off-bore gun system, firing upward at an oblique angle for shooting down bombers while passing underneath, frequently equipped with two 20 mm MG FF/M, but field installations of the 20 mm MG 151/20 or 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108 cannons were also utilized. The Schräge Musik weapons were typically mounted to the back of the rear cockpit. The Bf 110 G-2/R1 was also capable of accepting armament such as the Bordkanone series 37 mm (1.46 in) BK 37 cannon. A single hit from this weapon was enough to destroy any Allied bomber. The fighter-bomber versions could carry up to 2,000 kg (4,410 lb) of bombs, depending on the type.

|Politik und Gesellschaft Online International Politics and Society 4/1998 Vorläufige Fassung / Preliminary version Thus far the world's response to the nuclear tests by India and Pakistan has not ventured from the anti-proliferation efforts that failed to dissuade those countries from becoming declared nuclear powers; treaties, sanctions, conferences and arm twisting. The most we can reasonably hope for from this is a return to the status quo ante but with seven rather than five declared nuclear powers. It will all too likely be only a matter of time before new Indias and Pakistans are knocking at the door. We need to be more ambitious. One possibility is to set out to undermine the position India and Pakistan have taken that nuclear weapons have utility, at the least the utility of enhancing a nation's status on the world stage. We are in no position to refute that argument today because by both rhetoric and actions, the U.S., NATO and Russia confirm an even more extensive utility for these weapons. Despite being the most powerful of nations, the U.S. plans call for having 10,000 nuclear warheads almost ten years from now, even if the current arms control treaty is fulfilled; NATO insists on retaining the option of using nuclear weapons first if necessary to defend Western Europe against even a conventional military assault; and Russia recently retracted its pledge of no first-use of nuclear weapons. If we do not want the example of India and Pakistan to be contagious, we must de-emphasize the utility of nuclear weapons by reducing numbers drastically and immediately and by renouncing the doctrine of first-use. The first can be achieved by a process termed strategic escrow; the other by presidential declarations. Under strategic escrow the U.S. would reduce the readiness of its nuclear weapons by removing, say, 1,000 warheads from missiles and re-locating them several hundred miles away, inviting the Russians to place observers at the storage sites to count what went in and if anything were taken out. This process of verification would be straightforward and no treaty would be required. The warheads would not be destroyed and, so, formal approval by the Duma and Senate would not be necessary. It is the complex routine of negotiating, ratifying and executing treaties that results in such a glacially slow arms control process that the START II Treaty can take another ten years to reduce the U.S. nuclear arsenal to 10,000 warheads. Strategic escrow will accelerate this process only if the Russians reciprocate that initiative. There will be strong resistance in Russia to doing that. If it prevails the U.S. will have lost nothing, as the warheads could be returned to their missiles. In time, though, the Russians almost must come around. Russians today readily acknowledge that their country cannot sustain an arsenal of even 1,000 intercontinental nuclear-armed missiles for more than another ten years. They can neither afford to refurbish their existing, but deteriorating weapons, nor build enough new ones to make much difference. President Yeltsin has already told the Duma that 1,000 warheads is all Russia requires. Once a process of strategic escrow is going, the U.S. and Russia could each reduce to less than 1,000 ready nuclear warheads in a matter of a few years. At about 1,000 however, it would be necessary to bring all other nuclear powers into the escrow process. That is, the two nuclear superpowers would not go so far into escrow as to have fewer ready weapons than any of the other six nuclear powers. At this point, a program of unilateral initiatives by one nuclear superpower and reciprocal steps by the other would have to be turned into a treaty incorporating Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan and Israel. The treaty would establish, just as does the START process, a goal for the total number of nuclear weapons to be held by each country. It would also provide that in stages these eight nuclear powers would place the warheads for all of those weapons in escrow under joint observation. Hopefully, this would lead to a world in which there was only a modest number of nuclear warheads, but with all of them in escrow. There would, then, be no nuclear weapons immediately ready to fire; and, there would be international observers to warn of any moves to reconstitute ready weapons. Some of the other six nuclear powers might balk at this arrangement. If they were to hold out, though, they could come under great pressure to join a regime in which the nuclear superpowers had moved so dramatically downward in number of ready warheads. Coincidentally this would be a fine way to lessen one of the dangers into which India and Pakistan are presently heading, that of each sitting at hair-trigger nuclear readiness just across a fragile border. There would be much less risk of some foolish, unpremeditated use of a nuclear weapon during a crisis. In addition, it should greatly ease Indian concerns to know that China's nuclear capabilities were constrained. The number of China's weapons would have been limited by treaty and all of her nuclear warheads would be in escrow and under international observation. Still another consideration in placing all nuclear warheads in escrow would be to make storage facilities increasingly secure against surprise attack, keeping sufficient retaliatory forces in submarines at sea or in mobile land-based missiles. Zero nuclear warheads ready to fire and only modest numbers in escrow for each nuclear power would be a stable position. There would be no chance of accidents and there would be warning if any nuclear power prepared for war. At the same time, the ability to reconstitute ready weapons with only modest delay would be insurance against cheating either by one of the nuclear powers or by some rogue state. From this position, then, the world could decide when and if to go on to total nuclear disarmament. In the meantime there would still be a small number of nuclear powers and many non-nuclear ones, much as today. That is a condition against which the Indians have registered complaint. It would, however, be a much more benign condominium than today. It would also be a necessary waypoint on the path to disarmament and, thus, consistent with the position that nuclear weapons do not have utility. The other essential element in demonstrating that these weapons lack utility is to forsake their first-use. Declarations by the U.S. and Russia to that effect could lead to expanding the 185-nation Treaty of Nuclear Non-Proliferation into a Treaty of No First-Use with automatic political and economic sanctions against nuclear aggressors. As a practical matter, it would be difficult to the U.S. to forsake first-use because it would appear to be lessening its commitment to NATO. The onus, then, lies with the European members of NATO. There is no reason for them not to ask the U.S. to withdraw its nuclear guarantee. There is no conventional threat to Western Europe today or for the foreseeable future. There is also nothing larger to be lost, as no first-use is a fact of life for the U.S. today. For 53 years it has been unwilling to resort to nuclear weapons even in the face of military defeat. President Kennedy when faced with the possibility of using nuclear weapons in the 1962 Cuban missile crisis demurred on the grounds of the great uncertainties involved. General Colin Powell writes in his memoir that he was "unnerved" when he looked at a plan for the use of tactical nuclear weapons in the Gulf War and had the plan destroyed. Beyond history, the collateral costs, risks and uncertainties of using nuclear weapons will always outweigh any incremental effectiveness they offer. One of the most persistent and logical arguments for retaining the option of first use of nuclear weapons is to deter or respond to an attack with biological weapons. This, though, is stretching a point since there has never been a biological attack to which nuclear weapons could be remotely considered a proportionate response. Reserving the right to use nuclear weapons for such an eventuality has the disadvantage that it leaves open the door to nuclear proliferation. If even a major power requires resort to nuclear weapons for any reason, how can smaller powers not require them also? The argument against proliferation is simply undercut and it makes no sense to do that against a hypothetical threat. Should that threat materialize one day, it could be necessary to rethink this policy. Unless we are utterly persuaded such a threat will develop, it is a sound policy today. As far as using the threat of nuclear response to deter any kind of biological attack, we will always have that threat. It would be extremely rash for any nation to consider a biological attack against a nation with nuclear weapons without assuming there would be a nuclear response. The consequences of miscalculation would be too high to ignore that possibility. It may seem hypocritical to assume you have a deterrent threat even after denying that you would use nuclear weapons first. It need not be hypocritical if your best judgment, when making a pledge of no first-use, is that you would not use nuclear weapons first. With 53 years of precedent of no first-use, the presumption against such use is high. It is also argued that while no first-use may be a satisfactory policy for a country like the U.S., which has such other sources of power, it is not for others. Israel's position of vulnerability to a concerted Arab conventional attack is often cited. Yet, Israelis know full well that employing nuclear weapons could only defer the day of their defeat. A single nuclear detonation on any Arab nation would likely unite the Arab world in a way nothing ever has. Nuclear weapons are simply not a rational solution to their or anyone's problem. The irrationality behind these weapons does not mean they will not be sought or used, no matter how consistently the nuclear powers employ them only for deterrence. Leaders of rogue states and terrorist groups will still seek selfish benefits from them. The counter to their quests is that the greater good of the greater number dictates that these weapons should not be used. The U.N. is, in effect, taking that position in Iraq today. Whether it works over the longer run will depend on how seriously the developed world takes preventing nuclear proliferation. Will Iraq be subjected, as the UN mandates prescribe, to long term monitoring? Will similar international pressure be brought to bear on other would-be proliferants? None of this will work, however, unless the existing nuclear powers downgrade the role of nuclear weapons in their arsenals. This is both a practical and a moral matter. Moral leadership can prevail in human relations and even in affairs of the world. Such leadership, though, must be by example, not exhortation. More immediately, another reason for going to a program of strategic escrow plus no first-use is to solve two special problems. The first is persuading India and Pakistan to back away from the precipice by signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Comprehensive Test Ban Treaties; not turning their nuclear potential into a reality; and generally accepting international controls and standards in this arena. Both countries will be hard pressed domestically not to appear to be caving into sanctions levied by the U.S. and other external pressures. India and Pakistan could contend, however, that the moves of the U.S. and Russia into escrow and no first-use, responded to their legitimate complaint that the U.S. and Russia have not reduced their arsenals substantially, as promised in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The Indians and Pakistanis could declare victory and retreat into a more sensible nuclear posture. The second issue is the Duma's reluctance even to debate the ratification of START II. This is a very poor time for the U.S. to push the Russians on this treaty which they understandably believe is tilted against them. NATO has just thrust expansion onto them. Russia has a new, weak government and an economy in shambles. We risk an outright rejection of START II by insisting on Yeltsin's bringing it before the Duma. Since it will be a decade before START II is consummated anyway, a delay in ratifying it will hardly be critical. We could, instead, engage the Russians in strategic escrow. As they saw this joint program working to the advantage of both, they could put the START II Treaty back on the agenda with much less contentiousness. Whether it is strategic escrow and no first-use or some other devices, we badly need an imaginative way to supplement and accelerate the traditional nuclear arms control process lest proliferation overtake us.

US Navy seizes Iranian weapons in Arabian Sea: videoby News Desk US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Thursday afternoon that the USS Normandy (CG60) boarded a dhow in the Arabian Sea on Sunday and seized a “large cache” of Iranian-made weapons while conducting “maritime security operations.” “The weapons seized include 150 ‘Dehlavieh’ anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM), which are Iranian-manufactured copies of Russian Kornet ATGMs,” read the February 13 CENTCOM release. “Other weapons components seized aboard the dhow were of Iranian design and manufacture and included three Iranian surface-to-air missiles, Iranian thermal imaging weapon scopes, and Iranian components for unmanned aerial and surface vessels, as well as other munitions and advanced weapons parts.” Video footage released by CENTCOM Public Affairs shows US Navy personnel boarding the vessel during the February 9 operation in the Arabian Sea. Several images of the weapons obtained from the dhow were released by the US military as well. The news release noted that the cache of “advanced weapons and weapon components” retrieved from the vessel are “identical” to those seized by the USS Forrest Sherman from a boat in the Arabian Sea on November 25, 2019. “Those weapons were determined to be of Iranian origin and assessed to be destined for the Houthis in Yemen, which would be in violation of a UN Security Council Resolution that prohibits the direct or indirect supply, sale, or transfer of weapons to the Houthis,” CENTCOM alleged. The US revealed images of the weapons obtained in the November 25 raid following an early December 2019 press conference.

During world war two there were numerous bombing ranges in New Mexico that add another level of confusion to any research into possible cluster impact events. Because any small crater, or depression we see in New Mexico must be ruled out as a bomb crater first. You can see a typical example of the giant geoglyphs they used as bombing targets at 33.335478, -103.757649. Note the Nazi swastika in the bulls eye of the target. But it’s the crater beside, and the others near it, that concerns us, not the target. First of all, they used non-explosive practice bombs for almost all of those bombing runs. The only time live ordinance was used in practice bombing was when they needed to test the effectiveness of the bombs. But note the size of that crater. At more than 200 meters diameter, it’s too darn big. If we had bombs capable of that kind of damage, we had better things to do with them then blowing big holes in the desert. And there are thousands like that. All over west Texas, and eastern New Mexico. Look closely. It was there before the target was made. That’s no bomb crater folks.

DIVERS sparked an alert when they discovered an unexploded bomb. Lifeboats had to form a protective ring around the 500lb Second World War bomb which was discovered on Saturday morning, close to Selsey Lifeboat Station. The following day Royal Navy bomb disposal experts confirmed it was a bomb and plans were put in place to make it safe. On Monday the area around the bomb was evacuated and both Selsey lifeboats were launched as a precaution and stood off at a safe distance. Using an inflatable bag, the bomb was towed 1.5 miles south east of Selsey Bill. Both Selsey lifeboats acted as guard vessels and maintained a 700m cordon around the bomb until it was successfully detonated at 12.15pm

If you are actually searching for an ACOG duplicate on a budget, you must take into consideration the Crushunt 4x Thread Optic Range. This optic doesn’t utilize tritium, yet it possesses a reticle that compiles illumination coming from ambient sources. This makes it ideal for both time as well as night capturing. best scope for ar 15 A genuine ACOG is actually just about inconceivable to break, yet it can easily set you back a whole lot of cash. The good news is, there are a few great ACOG duplicates that will certainly offer you the exact same functionality for a lot less. Ease of making use of The most ideal acog duplicate should be actually user-friendly. This is especially vital if you’re mosting likely to be actually utilizing it for close-range firing. The reticle ought to be simple to observe and may be changed depending upon the illumination ailments. The most effective acog clones also deliver turret changes that are actually straightforward to utilize. They must additionally be capable to take care of harsh environments and an assortment of temperature levels. acog magnifier The Trijicon ACOG is among the absolute most well-known optics on the marketplace. It has a proven record and is actually an outstanding selection for both military and also police staffs. Its resilience as well as integrity make it an excellent possibility for a military scope. Nonetheless, it is actually a little bit expensive for most shootings. This is why some people go with an ACOG clone rather. ACOG clones are actually produced coming from top quality products and have developed components to boost accuracy. The most remarkable function is actually the lit tritium reticle. This feature enables the consumer to interact intendeds without needing to count on batteries. It’s likewise long lasting and may last approximately 12,000 hrs along with a single AA electric battery. Another trait to look for in an ACOG clone is actually the optic’s field of vision and reticle measurements. An excellent ACOG clone need to have the capacity to deliver an accurate chance at all arrays. For instance, the Crushunt ACOG duplicate has an eye relief of 1.5 ins, which is actually typical for an ACOG. It likewise possesses a 4x magnification, which is enough for most shooters. backup sights As being one of the most resilient rifle extents on the marketplace, the Trijicon ACOG is a solid option for AR-15 managers. The design is straightforward as well as trusted, along with no relocating components to crack or fag out over time. The reticle is likewise lightened for low-light conditions, making it optimal for usage in an assortment of firing cases. However, ACOGs can be actually fairly pricey, and many shootings are trying to find choices. The good news is, there are actually some wonderful possibilities accessible for those on a finances, including the Wipboten Correct Thread Reddish Illuminated Rifle Range. This extent can be found in at a lot less than half the rate of an original ACOG, and it delivers many of the very same attributes. It has a durable aluminum blend casing as well as a riflescope body that is fog-proof, shockproof, as well as water-resistant. Yet another option is actually the Crushunt 4 x 32 Reddish Chevron Etched Glass Reticle Rifle Range. This scope keeps the describing qualities of an ACOG, such as its set energy magnification as well as chevron/horseshoe reticle. It is actually an extremely sturdy alternative, with a parallax-free lense as well as a battery free of charge illumination source that provides you outstanding exposure. While it does not perform along with a Trijicon ACOG, it is an excellent option for those on a tight budget plan. When it concerns ACOGs, the Trijicon version is recognized for its own lighted reticle that doesn’t call for batteries. Instead, it makes use of tritium as well as optical fiber to energy the reticle in low-light or even no-light ailments. This is actually accomplished via the lengthy red pipe on the top of the visual that collects background lighting and lights up the reticle. While the tritium performs deliver a brilliant and orderly lighting during the night, it is going to inevitably dim and perish. This could be a problem for shooters that desire to use their ACOG for long-range accuracy firing. Luckily, there are actually clones that provide identical efficiency without making use of the tritium lighting unit. The Crushunt 4X Fiber Optic ACOG clone, for example, has an inscribed chevron reticle that operates in a range of lights health conditions. It likewise possesses an inconspicuous layout that assists with reliability as well as can easily be made use of with a lot of AR-15 rifles. While it carries out not possess a tritium powered illumination device, it uses optical fiber to gather ambient illumination and also brighten the reticle in dim disorders. Irrespective of the kind of ACOG you decide on, it ought to be shockproof and water-resistant to resist rough settings. It should be fog-proof and also possess a number of illumination settings to match your atmosphere. Furthermore, it ought to be actually quick and easy to mount as well as adjust to your rifle. Along with a tried and tested history of functionality in several of the toughest states and also conditions you can possibly imagine, you can not go incorrect with an ACOG duplicate. The reticle of the most effective acog duplicate lightens without the requirement for electric batteries. The lighting is offered through tritium or fiber optics that are powered by natural illumination. This assists the shooter view the reticle in low or no light disorders. Additionally, the lighting is actually flexible to meet a variety of capturing disorders. This is actually best for military capturing or even close quarters aim at practice. The ACOG is actually a sturdy, light in weight scope with high-magnification for specific shooting. It is actually crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and created to stand up to massive recoil and tough conditions. This scope is perfect for carbines, SMGs, and handgun quality carbine (PCC) guns. It can easily additionally be actually positioned on M4 rifles. It features a dealt with, parallax-free lens and has a big industry of perspective. It is also water-proof as well as fog-proof. Deciding on the appropriate ACOG duplicate or even substitute depends upon a couple of variables, consisting of develop quality, magnification, cost, and performance.

On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright revolutionized the world with the creation of the first successful airplane. Now, aircrafts have become one of the most well-known, most advanced, and most used methods of transportation. According to a 24-hour study by USA Today, there are over 76,329 flights taken per minute! An aircraft is considered a machine that is able to fly via air support and can be used to summarize airplanes, jets and helicopters. However, aircrafts are differentiated by different criteria – such as: usage, lift type, and more. When it comes to speed, there are only a few aircrafts that can boast about being a part of the top 5 fastest in the world. To see which aircrafts are on the list, keep reading! - Bell X-2 Starbuster According to NASA, The Bell X-2 aircraft (also known as the Starbuster) was an X-plane research aircraft that was designed to investigate the stability and control effectiveness at high speeds and altitudes. It was mainly designed to explore the effects of aerodynamic heating. This aircraft was created using stainless steel and K-monel and contained an escape capsule for emergencies. The Starbuster program was canceled after the death of Capt. Milburn “Mel” Apt – which resulted from his loss of control over the plane. - Mikoyan MiG-25 Foxbat The Mikoyan MiG-25 Foxbat was made from stainless steel and was developed for use as an interceptor by the Soviet Air Forces. This aircraft was known as one of the fastest military aircrafts in the world. The MiG-25 utilized some of the largest missiles ever fitted in an aircraft, and contained powerful radar systems. It’s no surprise that the MiG-25 went down in history as one of the greatest Soviet creations. - Lockheed YF-12 The Lockheed YF-12 was created as an experimental fighter-interceptor for the United States Air Force. This aircraft contained long range radar systems and infrared search sensors and tracking systems. The Lockheed YF-12 had speeds of over 2,000 mph and could fly at over 80,000 feet! Because of the budgetary restrictions and the shift from speed to efficiency, the program was canceled in the mid 1960s. In total, there were only 3 models ever created. - Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird The SR-71, also known as the Blackbird, was created by a man named Lockheed Martin in the 1960s. It was operated by the United States Air Force and was used to test high speeds and high altitudes. This aircraft was created to cruise at Mach 3.2, which is around 2,200 miles/hr. Researchers used this aircraft to test aerodynamics, thermal protection materials, high speeds, sonic booms, and etc. It set many records in airspeed and altitude and has serviced the United States for over 35 years! Therefore, the SR-71 is known as one of the best long-range aircrafts ever created. - North American X-15 The North American X-15 is currently known as the fastest aircraft in the world. According to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, it is a rocket-powered research aircraft. This aircraft bridged the gap between manned flight within and beyond the atmosphere. The X-15 gathered critical flight data that advanced the study of future hypersonic aircrafts. It was also able to fly faster and higher than any other airplane – with a peak altitude of 354,200 feet with a speed or 4,534 mph. That’s one amazing airplane!

The loud report of a rifle echoes through Iqaluit’s makeshift shooting range. The Canadian Rangers have their new piece of kit, and it replaces something older than most of the Rangers themselves. Rangers across the North are now receiving their brand new C-19 rifles, designed to replace the World War II era Lee Enfield .303’s. The C-19 is a .308, and has special changes to make it Arctic ready. The trigger guard is bigger to allow for gloves, it can be fired from either the left or right hand side, and it can take regular ammunition right off the shelf. Plus, there is the distinctive stock. (The Canadian military has ordered 6,000 new C-19 rifles to replace the Lee Enfield in the Arctic. Photo: Kent Driscoll) When asked if he thought the bold colour design on the stock was “pretty”, Iqaluit Ranger Sgt. Kevin Kullualik laughed and said, “maybe a little too pretty” before extolling the new rifle’s virtues. “They’re a lot better than the .303. They’re shorter, lighter and have better sights,” Kullualik said. In addition to better sights on the actual rifle, Rangers will be able to add their own personal scopes to the barrel. Rangers can shoot well under the worst circumstances, now they have scopes. The new rifles also keep one important feature of the Enfields, the single bolt action. The Arctic breaks machines; simple machines work best here. Anything more complicated than single bolt is asking for a problem. “It’s going to take a while to find out how good they are, how much better they are than the .303s shooting wise. “They seem to be an awesome rifle, easier to take care of, to clean and stuff,” said Kullualik. (Sgt. Kevin Kullualik tries out his new c-19 at Iqaluit’s firing range. Photo: Kent Driscoll/APTN) As the sergeant takes some practice with the Iqaluit media hovering, his fellow Rangers take the opportunity to gently heckle their leader, with catcalls of “You a celebrity now.” Rangers are different than most armed forces world-wide, in that they elect their sergeants. Kullualik may be getting a hard time from his troops, but they picked him to be the guy taking the hard time. Kullualik is hitting the target, and his shots are staying together in a nice group. For now, he is just working to finesse the sights and get a little closer to the middle of the target. (When the rest of Canada’s military comes North, the Rangers are the ones who make sure they are safe. A big part of that is making sure polar bears don’t get anywhere near the soldiers. Photo: Kent Driscoll/APTN) That distance could be life or death someday; when Canada’s military comes North, the Rangers are the ones who provide “animal control”, they make sure the Polar bears don’t get to eat a soldier. The C-19 is a .308, stronger than the Enfield. As a Ranger for 14 years, Kullualik knows just what the old Enfields could do. “The Enfield, if they’re sighted right, they’re sighted for about 800 yards or so, but with no scope, you can’t see far, so it is just what you can see with your eyes.” The Canadian Armed Forces have purchased over 6,000 C-19s and they will all be in the hands of Rangers by 2021.

Hi Friends! Today, from this article, we will try to illustrate you about what is RADAR system as well as different types of SONAR system with ease. At the end of this blog post, you will get to know completely about RADAR system and its types without getting any hindrance. What is RADAR Technology? Radar (short for Radio Detection And Ranging) technology is a system that uses radio waves to detect and locate objects. It works by emitting a radio signal from a transmitter, which then travels through the air until it encounters an object. The signal is then reflected back towards a receiver, which analyses the signal to determine the distance, speed, and direction of the object. Radar technology is widely used in a variety of applications, including air traffic control, military surveillance, weather forecasting, and navigation. It can be used to detect everything from aircraft and ships to weather patterns and even asteroids. The technology has also been adapted for use in automotive safety systems, such as collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control. ‘RADAR System’ Tutorial Headlines: In this section, we will show you all headlines about this entire article; you can check them as your choice; below shown all: - What is RADAR Technology? - Who Invented RADAR System? - Type is RADAR System - Bistatic RADAR - Doppler RADAR - Monopulse RADAR - Monostatic RADAR - Multistatic RADAR - Passive RADAR - Instrumentation RADAR - Weather RADAR - Mapping RADAR - Navigational RADAR - Pulsed RADAR - Pulse-Doppler RADAR - Moving Target Indicator RADAR - Continuous Wave RADAR - Phased Array RADAR - Speed RADAR - FMCW RADAR - Air-Defense RADAR - Air Traffic Control RADAR - Fire Control RADAR - Planar Array RADAR - Radars for Biological Research - Ground Penetrating RADAR - Synthetic Aperture RADAR - Synthetically Thinned Aperture RADAR - Fuzes and Triggers RADAR - Airborne RADAR - Motor Locating RADAR - FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) - What is RADAR system in car? - What is RADAR in remote sensing? - What is RADAR in weather? - What is RADAR in ship? - What are the different types of RADAR in aviation? - What type of energy is used in RADAR systems? - What are the common types of RADAR on ships? - What is RADAR and its types? Let’s Get Started!! Who Invented RADAR System? Radar was not invented by a single individual, but rather developed by several scientists and engineers over a period of many years. However, the first practical radar system was developed independently by two scientists: Sir Robert Watson-Watt, a British physicist, and Sir Henry Tizard, a British chemist and physicist. Watson-Watt is often credited as the father of radar for his work in developing the first operational radar system, which was used during World War II to detect incoming enemy aircraft. His team of researchers also made significant advances in the technology, including the development of radar displays and signal processing techniques. However, the basic principles of radar were first discovered by several scientists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Heinrich Hertz, who demonstrated the existence of electromagnetic waves in 1888; Nikola Tesla, who filed a patent for a system for detecting objects using radio waves in 1904; and Christian Hülsmeyer, a German inventor who built the first radar system in 1904. Other scientists and engineers, including Guglielmo Marconi and Sir Oliver Lodge, also made important contributions to the development of radar technology. Type is RADAR System There are different types of radar systems, which are designed to operate in specific environments and for different applications. Here are some of the most common types of radar systems: Also Read: Top Applications of RADAR System | Uses of RADAR in Daily Life Bistatic radar is a type of radar system in which the transmitter and receiver are located at different positions, with the transmitter and receiver being separated by a considerable distance. This is in contrast to traditional monostatic radar, where the transmitter and receiver are located at the same position. In a bistatic radar system, the transmitter emits a signal towards the target, which reflects off the target and is detected by the receiver. Because the transmitter and receiver are separated, the radar can measure the angle of arrival of the reflected signal, which can provide additional information about the location and movement of the target. Bistatic radar systems can be used for a variety of applications, including air traffic control, surveillance, and remote sensing. Doppler radar uses the Doppler effect that helps to measure the velocity of objects. It works by transmitting a signal of a specific frequency, which then reflects off an object and returns to the radar receiver. If the object is moving towards the radar, the frequency of the reflected signal will be higher than the transmitted signal, and if it is moving away, the frequency will be lower. This change in frequency is known as the Doppler shift, and by measuring it, the radar can determine the velocity of the object relative to the radar. Doppler radar is widely used in weather forecasting to detect precipitation, winds, and turbulence in the atmosphere. It can also be used in traffic monitoring, aviation, and military applications. Doppler radar has the advantage of being able to measure both the speed and direction of moving objects, making it a valuable tool for many different applications. Monopulse radar uses multiple antennas to accurately determine the angle of a target. The system uses the phase differences between the signals received by the antennas to calculate the angle of arrival of the target. In a monopulse radar system, the receiving antennas are arranged so that they form two or more beams, each pointing in a slightly different direction. The signals from these beams are then combined in a special circuit called a monopulse comparator, which calculates the difference in the phase of the signals received by each antenna. This phase difference is used to determine the angle of the target in a highly accurate manner. One advantage of monopulse radar is that it provides accurate measurements even when the radar is tracking multiple targets simultaneously. It is also less susceptible to interference and jamming compared to other types of radar systems. Monopulse radar is commonly used in air traffic control, missile guidance, and military applications. In Monostatic radar, transmitter and receiver are located at the same site. In other words, the radar antenna is used for both transmitting and receiving signals. The term “monostatic” comes from the fact that there is only one site for both transmission and reception. In monostatic radar, the transmitted signal is directed towards the target and when it reflects off the target, a portion of the signal returns to the radar antenna. This return signal is then processed by the radar system to determine information about the target, such as its distance, speed, and direction. One of the advantages of monostatic radar is that it is relatively simple to implement since it only requires a single antenna. However, it can be limited in terms of its performance, especially when it comes to detecting low-flying targets or targets that are close to the ground. This is because the reflected signal may be absorbed by the ground, which can make it difficult to detect the target. Additionally, monostatic radar can be susceptible to interference from other sources, which can affect its accuracy and reliability. Despite these limitations, monostatic radar is widely used in a variety of applications, including air traffic control, weather monitoring, and military surveillance. Multistatic RADAR (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output RADAR) is a type of RADAR system that uses multiple transmitters and receivers to detect and locate targets. In contrast to a traditional monostatic RADAR system, which uses a single antenna for both transmission and reception, a multistatic RADAR system separates the transmit and receive functions between multiple platforms or nodes. In a multistatic RADAR system, there are at least two or more transmitters and/or receivers, which can be located on different platforms, such as aircraft, ships, or ground-based stations. The system uses the principle of triangulation, where the time delay and phase difference between the transmitted and received signals at different nodes are used to determine the position and velocity of the target. One of the main advantages of multistatic RADAR is that it is more difficult for an enemy to detect and jam, since the transmissions come from multiple sources. It also provides better coverage and resolution compared to a traditional monostatic RADAR system, as the multiple nodes provide a more complete picture of the target. Multistatic RADAR systems are used in a variety of applications, such as air defense, maritime surveillance, and remote sensing. They are particularly useful in scenarios where stealth is important, such as in anti-aircraft defense, as well as in areas with difficult terrain, where traditional RADAR systems may be limited in their effectiveness. Passive radar system helps to detects and tracks objects by analysing the radio signals that bounce off them, rather than by transmitting its own signals and analysing the reflections. In a passive radar system, one or more receivers are used to pick up the signals that are emitted by other sources, such as commercial radio or television transmitters, and then use the data from those signals to determine the position and velocity of any objects in the vicinity that reflect those signals. Also Read: How Does RADAR Work? RADAR Components and Functions!! Passive radar systems offer a number of advantages over traditional active radar systems. They are less susceptible to detection and interference, since they do not emit any signals of their own. They can also be used to track targets that are difficult or impossible to detect with active radar, such as stealth aircraft or ships. In addition, passive radar systems are often less expensive and easier to maintain than active systems. One of the key challenges in designing a passive radar system is separating the signals from the target of interest from the background clutter caused by other reflections, such as buildings or terrain. This requires sophisticated signal processing algorithms and advanced hardware design. Despite these challenges, passive radar technology is becoming increasingly important in both military and civilian applications, including air traffic control, border surveillance, and anti-smuggling operations. Instrumentation radar refers to the use of radar technology for the purpose of measuring various parameters of an object or environment. This can include distance, velocity, direction, size, and shape. Instruments such as radar altimeters, Doppler radars, and weather radars are examples of instrumentation radar systems that are used in a variety of applications. For instance, radar altimeters are used in aviation to measure the height of an aircraft above the ground, while Doppler radars are used in weather forecasting to detect precipitation and wind patterns. Instrumentation radar systems typically operate by emitting a radio wave signal, which travels through the air and interacts with objects in its path. By measuring the properties of the reflected signal, the system can determine various characteristics of the object or environment being measured. Some advanced instrumentation radar systems also use multiple radar sensors or antennas to collect and process data from multiple angles or directions, providing a more detailed and accurate picture of the object or environment being measured. These systems are commonly used in fields such as aerospace, defense, and weather forecasting, where accurate and reliable measurements are critical. Weather RADAR technology is going to use for detecting and tracking the weather conditions in real-time. The technology works by emitting short pulses of high-frequency radio waves that travel through the atmosphere and bounce back when they encounter precipitation or other objects. The radar detects the time it takes for the radio waves to bounce back, and uses this information to determine the distance and location of the precipitation or other objects. The data collected by weather RADAR systems is used to create real-time images of precipitation patterns, which are used to track the movement of storms, estimate rainfall amounts, and issue weather alerts and warnings. Weather RADAR is an important tool for meteorologists, emergency responders, and the general public, as it helps to improve our understanding of weather patterns and can provide early warning of severe weather events. It is commonly used in weather forecasting, aviation, and military operations. RADAR technology utilises the radio waves to detect the location, speed, and direction of objects. Here are the basic steps involved in mapping with RADAR: Emit a Radio Signal: A RADAR system emits a radio signal, which travels through the air until it encounters an object. Receive the Reflection: When the radio signal encounters an object, part of it is reflected back towards the RADAR system. Measure the Time Delay: By measuring the time delay between the emission of the radio signal and the reception of the reflected signal, the RADAR system can determine the distance between itself and the object. Analyze the Reflected Signal: The reflected signal contains information about the size, shape, and composition of the object. By analyzing the properties of the reflected signal, the RADAR system can determine the characteristics of the object. Generate a Map: By repeating the process of emitting and receiving radio signals at different angles and positions, the RADAR system can build up a map of the surrounding environment. The map can show the location, size, and shape of objects, as well as their distance, speed, and direction of movement. Visualize the Map: The map can be visualized using various techniques, such as 2D or 3D images, contour maps, or heat maps. The visualization can help the user to understand the environment and identify potential hazards or targets. Navigational radar technology is used to determine the position, speed, and direction of objects in the vicinity of a vessel or aircraft. The system works by emitting a high-frequency electromagnetic signal from an antenna, which travels through the air and reflects off of objects in its path, such as other vessels, land masses, or buoys. The radar system then analyses the reflected signals to determine the location, size, and speed of the objects. This information is displayed on a screen in the vessel or aircraft’s cockpit, allowing the crew to navigate safely through the environment. Navigational radar can be used in a variety of applications, such as commercial shipping, military operations, and aviation. It is an essential tool for safe navigation, particularly in adverse weather conditions or low visibility situations. Pulsed RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging) is a type of radar system that uses short, high-energy pulses of radio waves to detect objects and determine their location and velocity. It works by transmitting a brief burst of electromagnetic energy in the form of a pulse, which travels through the atmosphere and reflects off objects in its path. The reflected energy, or echo, is detected by the radar receiver, which measures the time delay between the transmission and reception of the pulse. By analysing the time delay, the radar system can calculate the distance to the object. Additionally, the frequency shift of the echo relative to the transmitted pulse can be used to determine the object’s velocity. Pulsed radar systems can be used for a variety of applications, including military and civilian air traffic control, weather forecasting, and remote sensing of the Earth’s surface. They are often preferred over continuous wave radar systems because they offer better range resolution, allowing for the detection of smaller objects with greater precision. However, they require higher peak power and may be more susceptible to interference from other sources. Pulse-Doppler radar system utilities the pulse modulation techniques and the Doppler effect to detect and locate targets. It is widely used in modern radar systems, particularly in military applications. In a pulse-Doppler radar system, short pulses of radio frequency energy are transmitted towards the target. These pulses bounce off the target and are then received by the radar system. By measuring the time delay between the transmitted pulse and the received echo, the radar system can determine the distance to the target. In addition to measuring the distance to the target, a pulse-Doppler radar system also uses the Doppler effect to measure the velocity of the target. This is accomplished by analysing the frequency shift between the transmitted pulse and the received echo, which is caused by the relative motion between the radar system and the target. The Doppler effect allows the radar system to distinguish between stationary objects and moving objects, and to measure the speed and direction of moving objects. This makes pulse-Doppler radar systems particularly useful for detecting and tracking moving targets, such as aircraft, missiles, and ground vehicles. Pulse-Doppler radar systems are also designed to mitigate the effects of clutter, which is caused by reflections from stationary objects in the radar’s field of view. Clutter can obscure the radar’s ability to detect and track moving targets, so pulse-Doppler radar systems use various signal processing techniques to filter out clutter and enhance the detection of moving targets. Moving Target Indicator RADAR: A Moving Target Indicator (MTI) RADAR is a type of radar system used to detect and track moving targets, while rejecting clutter or stationary objects. The MTI RADAR works by comparing the echoes received in consecutive pulses and then filtering out the echoes from stationary objects or clutter, leaving only the echoes from moving targets. MTI RADAR is commonly used in air traffic control, military surveillance, and weather forecasting applications. The system is also used for ground-based surveillance of vehicles and personnel, as well as in marine navigation. One of the advantages of MTI RADAR is that it can detect and track targets even in adverse weather conditions, such as rain or snow. This makes it particularly useful in applications such as aviation and marine navigation, where the weather can have a significant impact on visibility and safety. Overall, MTI RADAR is a powerful tool for detecting and tracking moving targets, and has numerous applications in military, civilian, and scientific fields. Continuous Wave RADAR: Continuous Wave (CW) RADAR system is operated by continuously transmitting a radio frequency signal and receiving the reflections from the target. Unlike pulse RADAR, which transmits pulses of radio frequency energy and then waits for the reflections, CW RADAR emits a continuous signal and can operate at much higher frequencies. The basic operation of a CW RADAR involves the transmission of a continuous signal at a specific frequency, known as the carrier frequency. The signal is then reflected off a target, such as an aircraft, and returns to the RADAR receiver. The receiver then measures the phase and amplitude of the returned signal to determine the distance, speed, and other characteristics of the target. One advantage of CW RADAR is that it can operate at much higher frequencies than pulse RADAR, which allows for higher resolution and accuracy in target detection and tracking. However, it is more susceptible to interference from other sources of radio frequency energy, such as other RADAR systems or communication signals. CW RADAR is commonly used in applications such as weather monitoring, navigation, and remote sensing, as well as in military and defense systems for surveillance and target tracking. Phased Array RADAR: Phased array radar is a different type of radar system that is going to use multiple antennas and phase-shifting techniques to electronically steer the radar beam in different directions without physically moving the antenna. This allows the radar to scan a larger area faster and with higher resolution than traditional radar systems. The phased array radar consists of an array of antennas that are connected to a central control unit. Each antenna can be electronically controlled to transmit and receive radar signals, and the control unit can adjust the phase and amplitude of the signals to steer the beam in a particular direction. By changing the timing of the signals, the radar can also form multiple beams that can scan different areas simultaneously. One advantage of a phased array radar is its ability to quickly switch between different modes of operation. For example, it can scan a large area for targets, and then focus on a particular target for detailed tracking. It can also be used to track multiple targets at once, or to scan for specific types of targets such as aircraft or missiles. Phased array radars are used in a variety of applications, including air traffic control, weather forecasting, military surveillance, and missile defense systems. They offer several advantages over traditional radar systems, including faster scanning, higher resolution, and greater flexibility in operation. Speed radar is a device that is used to measure the speed of moving objects, typically vehicles on roads. It works by emitting a radio signal or laser beam that reflects off the object and returns to the radar unit. Based on the time it takes for the signal to return, the radar unit can calculate the speed of the object. Speed radars are commonly used by law enforcement agencies to enforce speed limits and detect speeding violations. They are also used in sports and other applications where the speed of moving objects needs to be measured accurately. It is important to note that the accuracy of speed radar readings can be affected by various factors, such as weather conditions, the angle at which the radar beam strikes the object, and the calibration of the radar unit. Therefore, speed radar readings should always be considered as an estimate and not an absolute measurement of an object’s speed. Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar system utilises the frequency modulation of the transmitted signal to determine the range and velocity of targets. In an FMCW radar system, the transmitted signal is modulated in frequency over a defined range, and the reflected signal from the target is mixed with a reference signal to determine the frequency shift caused by the target’s range and velocity. The FMCW radar system consists of a transmitter, a receiver, and a signal processing unit. The transmitter generates a continuous wave signal that is modulated in frequency over a defined range. The modulated signal is transmitted via an antenna, and the reflected signal from the target is received by the same antenna. The received signal is then mixed with a reference signal to produce a beat frequency signal that contains information about the target’s range and velocity. The signal processing unit processes the beat frequency signal to determine the range and velocity of the target. The range is determined by measuring the time delay between the transmitted signal and the received signal, while the velocity is determined by measuring the frequency shift of the beat frequency signal. FMCW radar is commonly used in a variety of applications, including automotive collision avoidance systems, altitude measurement in aircraft, and remote sensing of environmental parameters such as soil moisture and snow depth. It offers several advantages over other radar systems, including high resolution, low power consumption, and the ability to measure both range and velocity simultaneously. An Air-Defense RADAR system is specifically designed for detecting and tracking aircraft in real-time to provide early warning of potential threats. Air-defense radar systems are typically used by military forces to detect and track hostile aircraft or missiles, but they can also be used for civilian air traffic control. Air-defense radar systems work by transmitting a high-frequency radio wave signal that is directed into the airspace. When the radio wave hits an object such as an aircraft, some of the energy is reflected back towards the radar receiver. The radar system measures the time it takes for the reflected signal to return and uses this information to determine the distance, speed, and direction of the aircraft. Modern air-defense radar systems can also use advanced signal processing techniques to detect and track multiple targets simultaneously, even in environments where there is a lot of clutter, such as in urban areas or near mountain ranges. They can also be integrated with other sensor systems, such as infrared cameras, to provide a more comprehensive view of the airspace. Air Traffic Control RADAR: Air Traffic Control RADAR is a technology that is used by air traffic controllers to track the movement of aircraft. RADAR uses radio waves to detect objects and measure their distance, direction, and speed. In air traffic control, RADAR is used to track the position of aircraft and provide information to controllers about their altitude, heading, and speed. This information is used to direct aircraft safely and efficiently through the airspace, avoiding collisions and other hazards. There are various types of RADAR systems used in air traffic control, including primary and secondary RADAR. Primary RADAR sends out radio waves that bounce off the aircraft and return to the RADAR antenna, allowing the system to determine the aircraft’s distance and direction. Secondary RADAR uses a transponder on the aircraft that responds to signals from the RADAR system, providing more detailed information about the aircraft’s altitude, speed, and identification. Air traffic control RADAR systems are critical for maintaining the safety of air travel and are used in airports and air traffic control centers around the world. Fire Control RADAR: Fire Control RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging) system is mostly used in military applications to detect and track targets in order to direct weapon fire. This type of radar is used primarily in ground-based air defense systems and on naval vessels to locate and track aircraft, missiles, and other targets. Fire Control RADAR systems use various techniques such as frequency modulation, pulse-Doppler, and phased-array antenna technology to scan the surrounding airspace and track the movement of potential threats. They can also provide information about the target’s speed, altitude, direction of movement, and other important data that can help guide the targeting of weapons. In addition to providing targeting information, Fire Control RADAR systems can also be used for surveillance, reconnaissance, and search and rescue operations. They are critical components of modern military operations and have played a major role in many conflicts and military engagements throughout history. Planar Array RADAR: Planar array radar is a type of radar system that uses a flat, two-dimensional array of antennas to scan the surrounding area for targets. The array can be made up of multiple elements, each of which can transmit and receive radar signals independently. The planar array radar system works by emitting short pulses of radio frequency energy from each element of the antenna array, which then bounce off of objects in their path, and are reflected back to the radar. The reflected energy is received by each element of the array, and the information is processed to create a 3D image of the target area. One of the key advantages of planar array radars is their ability to scan the entire horizon in a single scan, making them well-suited for surveillance and tracking applications. They can also be used to detect and track multiple targets simultaneously, making them useful for military and air traffic control applications. Radars for Biological Research: Radars have long been used in various fields of research, including atmospheric science, astronomy, and military applications. In recent years, radars have also been used in biological research, particularly in the study of animal behavior, ecology, and conservation. Biological radars use the same basic principles as traditional radar systems, but with some modifications to make them suitable for biological applications. For example, the frequency of the radar is often reduced to minimize any potential harm to living organisms. One of the most common applications of biological radars is the study of bird migration. By using Doppler radar, researchers can track the movement of birds and gain insights into their migratory behavior. This information is useful for understanding the impacts of climate change and habitat loss on bird populations. Biological radars have also been used in the study of bats, which use echolocation to navigate and find prey. By using specialized ultrasonic radar, researchers can track the movements of bats and gain a better understanding of their behavior. Other applications of biological radars include the study of insect populations, the monitoring of animal movements in protected areas, and the detection of invasive species. In addition to their scientific applications, biological radars can also be used for conservation efforts by helping to identify and protect important habitats and species. Overall, the use of radars in biological research is a promising field that has the potential to greatly enhance our understanding of the natural world and inform conservation efforts. Ground Penetrating RADAR: Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive geophysical method that uses electromagnetic radiation in the microwave band (UHF/VHF frequencies) to detect and image subsurface structures and features. The radar sends out pulses of electromagnetic energy into the ground or other materials, and then detects the reflected signals from various subsurface objects and interfaces, such as buried objects, geological layers, and soil and rock strata. The method is based on the principle that different materials have different electrical properties, such as dielectric permittivity and conductivity, that affect the way they reflect and absorb the radar waves. By analyzing the amplitude, frequency, and phase of the reflected signals, GPR can produce 2D or 3D images of the subsurface structures, revealing their shape, size, depth, and composition. GPR is widely used in a range of applications, such as archaeology, geology, environmental studies, civil engineering, and military reconnaissance. It can be used to locate buried pipes, cables, and utilities, map bedrock and soil layers, detect voids and cavities, locate archaeological features and artifacts, and investigate the effects of soil erosion and contamination. Synthetic Aperture RADAR: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a type of radar system that uses microwave frequencies to create high-resolution images of the Earth’s surface. Unlike other forms of radar, SAR uses the motion of the antenna to create a synthetic aperture, which is effectively a large virtual antenna. This allows SAR to achieve very high resolutions that are typically not possible with other types of radar. The basic principle of SAR is to transmit microwave pulses from an antenna towards the ground, and then measure the time it takes for the signal to bounce back to the antenna after reflecting off the surface. By repeating this process from multiple positions, and combining the resulting measurements, SAR can create a high-resolution image of the surface. One of the advantages of SAR is that it can operate in all weather conditions, including rain and cloud cover, since microwave radiation can penetrate through these obstacles. SAR is used in a variety of applications, including remote sensing, military surveillance, and maritime monitoring. SAR data can be used to create maps, monitor changes in the environment, and track the movement of ships and aircraft. Synthetically Thinned Aperture RADAR: Synthetically Thinned Aperture RADAR (STAR) is a type of radar system used for remote sensing applications, such as detecting and imaging objects on the ground, ocean or in the air. It works by utilizing a large antenna array to transmit radio waves towards the target and then receives the reflected signal. The STAR technique involves combining multiple radar signals to create a virtual aperture that is larger than the physical aperture of the radar system. This is achieved by transmitting the radar signals from different positions and then synthesizing the received signals in software to create an image with higher resolution than what would be possible with a single physical antenna. The advantage of STAR is that it can achieve high-resolution imaging while using a smaller physical antenna array. This makes it a more cost-effective solution for many applications, particularly in remote sensing where large antenna arrays can be difficult to install and maintain. STAR can be used in a variety of applications, including mapping and monitoring of land and ocean environments, surveillance, and reconnaissance. It is particularly useful in detecting small objects, such as vehicles and boats, and in identifying changes in terrain and vegetation over time. Overall, the STAR technique is a powerful tool for remote sensing applications, offering high-resolution imaging at a lower cost than traditional radar systems with large antenna arrays. Fuzes and Triggers RADAR: A fuze is a device that is used to initiate or detonate an explosive charge. In the context of radar, a fuze is used to trigger the detonation of a radar-guided missile when it reaches a certain proximity to the target. The fuze is typically triggered by the radar receiver, which detects the reflection of the radar signal off the target and calculates the distance to the target. A trigger, on the other hand, is a device that initiates the transmission of a radar signal. The trigger is typically part of the radar transmitter and is used to initiate the transmission of a short pulse of radio frequency energy. This pulse is then transmitted into space and is reflected back by any objects in its path, including the target. In summary, a fuze is used to trigger the detonation of a missile when it reaches a certain proximity to the target, while a trigger is used to initiate the transmission of a radar signal to detect the presence of objects in the radar’s field of view. Airborne radar is a type of radar system that is designed to be used on aircraft. It is used for a variety of purposes, including detecting and tracking other aircraft, monitoring weather patterns, and mapping terrain. Airborne radar systems typically consist of a transmitter, a receiver, and an antenna that is mounted on the aircraft. The transmitter sends out a radio frequency signal, which is reflected off of objects in the environment, such as other aircraft, mountains, or clouds. The receiver then picks up the reflected signal and processes it to provide information about the location, distance, and speed of the objects that it has detected. Airborne radar systems can operate in different frequency bands, depending on their intended use. For example, weather radar systems typically operate in the X-band frequency range, while surveillance and tracking radars may operate in the S-band or L-band frequency range. Overall, airborne radar is a critical technology for aviation, as it enables pilots and air traffic controllers to detect and avoid potential hazards, and to make more informed decisions about flight paths and weather conditions. Motor Locating RADAR: Motor Locating RADAR (MLR) is a type of radar system used in military applications to locate the position of enemy motor vehicles. It works by transmitting a radio wave signal and then receiving the reflected signal back from any targets within its range. MLR systems use Doppler shift analysis to determine the velocity of the target vehicles. This information is then used to calculate the distance to the target and its location. The MLR system can also track the movement of the target vehicle, providing valuable intelligence to military commanders. In addition to its military applications, MLR technology can also be used in civilian settings, such as in traffic management systems or in search and rescue operations. Another advantage of planar array radars is their ability to electronically steer the beam in any direction without physically moving the antenna. This allows for quick and precise tracking of fast-moving targets, making them a valuable tool for missile defense systems. Overall, planar array radars offer high resolution and sensitivity, making them a powerful tool for a wide range of applications. FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) What is RADAR system in car? A radar system in a car is a type of sensor technology that uses radio waves to detect objects and obstacles in the surrounding environment. The system uses radar waves to determine the distance, speed, and direction of an object and provides the driver with information about the location of objects, including other cars, pedestrians, and stationary objects such as buildings or traffic signs. Radar systems in cars can be used for a variety of purposes, including collision avoidance, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and parking assistance. The system typically consists of several radar sensors placed around the car that emit radio waves and receive the reflected signals from objects in the environment. The data from the radar sensors are processed by a computer in the car, which then provides the driver with alerts and visual or audio warnings if a potential collision or obstacle is detected. Radar systems have become increasingly common in modern cars and are a crucial component of many advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. They provide an additional layer of safety and help drivers to make better decisions on the road, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall driving experience. What is RADAR in remote sensing? In remote sensing applications, radar systems are mounted on aircraft or satellites to gather information about the earth’s surface. Radar remote sensing works by transmitting a radio signal towards the surface of the earth and measuring the time it takes for the signal to bounce back to the radar system after interacting with the target. By analyzing the characteristics of the returned signal, such as its amplitude, frequency, and phase, radar can provide information about the location, shape, size, composition, and movement of objects on the earth’s surface. Radar remote sensing has several advantages over other remote sensing technologies, such as optical remote sensing. Radar can penetrate through clouds and other atmospheric obstructions, allowing it to gather data even in adverse weather conditions. It can also provide information about the subsurface features of the earth, such as soil moisture content and underground structures, which are not visible to optical sensors. What is RADAR in weather? Radar, in the context of weather, is a system that uses radio waves to detect and measure precipitation, clouds, and other meteorological phenomena. Weather radar typically operates by emitting pulses of radio waves from an antenna, which then bounce off any objects in the atmosphere, such as raindrops, snowflakes, or hailstones. By analyzing the time it takes for these waves to return to the antenna, and the strength of the returned signal, weather radar systems can determine the location, intensity, and movement of precipitation and other weather phenomena. This information is then used to create weather maps, forecasts, and warnings, which can help meteorologists and emergency managers make important decisions about how to prepare for and respond to severe weather events like thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. What is RADAR in ship? In ships, radar is an essential tool used for navigation and collision avoidance. Ship radar works by emitting short pulses of high-frequency radio waves, which travel through the air and reflect off of nearby objects, such as other ships, buoys, or land masses. The radar system then detects these reflected waves and uses them to calculate the distance, direction, and speed of the objects. Radar can provide valuable information to ship crews, such as the distance and bearing to other vessels, the speed and direction of other vessels, and the location of hazards such as rocks, reefs, and shorelines. This information is critical for safe navigation and avoiding collisions, particularly in low-visibility conditions such as fog or darkness. Modern ship radars may also incorporate advanced features such as automatic target tracking, collision avoidance algorithms, and integration with other ship navigation systems. What are the different types of RADAR in aviation? There are several types of radar used in aviation, including: - Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR): This type of radar system uses radio waves to detect and display the position, altitude, and speed of aircraft. PSR operates by transmitting a pulse of radio waves and then measuring the time it takes for the waves to bounce back off the aircraft. - Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR): This type of radar system uses both ground-based and aircraft-based equipment to provide additional information about an aircraft’s identity, altitude, and speed. SSR works by transmitting a signal to the aircraft’s transponder, which sends back information about the aircraft. - Mode S Radar: This is an advanced version of SSR that can provide more detailed information about the aircraft, including its position, altitude, speed, and identification. Mode S also enables communication between the aircraft and air traffic control. - Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR): This type of radar system uses advanced signal processing techniques to create high-resolution images of the ground, which can be used for mapping and surveillance purposes. - Weather Radar: This type of radar system is used to detect and display weather conditions, including precipitation, clouds, and turbulence, which can help pilots avoid hazardous weather conditions. What type of energy is used in RADAR systems? Radar systems typically use electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) range to detect and locate objects.

As a resident of California, it’s important to be aware of the state’s knife laws. Whether you’re an avid outdoorsman or simply carry a knife for everyday use, understanding these laws can help you avoid legal trouble and ensure that you’re carrying a knife that’s both safe and legal. In this article, we’ll provide an overview of California’s knife laws and answer the question: what size knife is legal to carry in California? We’ll discuss the different types of knives and their legal status in the state, as well as the consequences of carrying an illegal knife. Additionally, we’ll offer tips on how to choose the right knife for legal carry in California. - 1 Overview of California’s knife laws - 2 What Size Knife Is Legal To Carry In California? - 3 Penalties for Carrying an Illegal Knife in California - 4 Determining if a Knife is Illegal - 5 Tips on Selecting a Legal Knife for Everyday Carry in California Overview of California’s knife laws California has some of the strictest knife laws in the United States. The state divides knives into two categories: folding knives and fixed-blade knives. Folding knives are legal to carry as long as they have a blade length of 3 inches or less. Fixed-blade knives, on the other hand, are illegal to carry concealed unless you have a valid hunting or fishing license. It is important to note that even if you have a valid license, you cannot carry a fixed-blade knife in certain places such as schools, government buildings, and airports. Folding knives are commonly referred to as pocket knives and are legal to carry in California as long as they meet certain criteria. The blade must be no longer than 3 inches and must not lock into place when open. Additionally, the knife must not be designed for use as a weapon. This means that any folding knife with a double-edged blade or one-handed opening mechanism is considered illegal. Fixed-blade knives are typically larger than folding knives and do not fold into the handle. In California, it is illegal to carry a fixed-blade knife concealed unless you have a valid hunting or fishing license. However, even with a valid license, you cannot carry a fixed-blade knife in certain areas such as schools and government buildings. Hunting and Fishing Licenses To legally carry a fixed-blade knife in California, you must have a valid hunting or fishing license issued by the state. These licenses allow individuals to possess and transport their hunting or fishing equipment including their fixed-blade knife while engaged in lawful activities related to hunting or fishing. Penalties for Violating Knife Laws If caught carrying an illegal knife in California, you could face serious consequences including fines and imprisonment. The penalties vary depending on the type of knife and the location where it was carried. For example, carrying a switchblade knife in California is a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. It is important to understand California’s knife laws before carrying any type of knife. Folding knives with blades 3 inches or less are legal to carry, while fixed-blade knives require a valid hunting or fishing license. Violating these laws can result in serious consequences, so it is best to err on the side of caution and make sure you are following all applicable regulations. Please note: – California law prohibits carrying a concealed dirk or dagger, which includes any knife with a blade longer than 2.5 inches. What Size Knife Is Legal To Carry In California? In California, a legal knife size is defined as any folding knife with a blade length of 2. 5 inches or less. Blade length is measured from the tip of the blade to the point where it meets the handle. This measurement includes any curve in the blade and excludes any part of the handle that extends beyond this point. - Any knife with a blade length over 2. 5 inches is considered illegal to carry in California, unless it falls under one of the following exceptions: - A person who is hunting or fishing may carry a fixed-blade knife with a blade length of up to 6 inches while actively engaged in those activities. - A person who is on their own property or place of business may carry a fixed-blade knife with a blade length of up to 3 inches. - A person who has written permission from their school district may carry a knife with a blade length of up to 4 inches while on school grounds for use in an authorized activity such as a class or club. It’s important to note that even if your knife falls within these exceptions, law enforcement officers still have discretion when determining whether your knife is being carried legally or not. For example, carrying a large hunting knife while walking down the street could be seen as suspicious and lead to legal trouble. If you’re looking for an everyday carry (EDC) knife that’s legal to carry in California, consider choosing one with a blade length of 2. 5 inches or less. There are plenty of high-quality knives available that meet this requirement and are still capable tools for everyday use. When selecting an EDC knife, consider factors such as blade material, handle material, and locking mechanism. A knife with a high-quality steel blade will hold an edge longer and require less sharpening than a cheaper blade. A comfortable handle material such as G10 or Micarta will provide a secure grip even in wet conditions. And a reliable locking mechanism such as a liner lock or frame lock will keep the blade securely in place during use. Remember, carrying an illegal knife in California can result in fines and even jail time. By understanding the legal requirements for knife size and choosing a knife that meets those requirements, you can ensure that you’re carrying a useful tool without running afoul of the law. Please note: – However, it is legal to openly carry any knife with a blade length of up to 4 inches in California. Penalties for Carrying an Illegal Knife in California If you are caught carrying an illegal knife in California, you could face serious consequences. The penalties vary depending on the type of knife and the circumstances surrounding your arrest. Here are some of the potential consequences: - A misdemeanor charge with up to one year in county jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000. - A felony charge with up to three years in state prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000. - For certain types of knives, such as switchblades or ballistic knives, possession can result in a felony charge with up to four years in state prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000. Determining if a Knife is Illegal Law enforcement officers use several factors to determine if a knife is illegal or not. These include: - The length of the blade: In California, it is illegal to carry any knife with a blade longer than 4 inches (with some exceptions). - The type of blade: Certain types of knives, such as switchblades or ballistic knives, are always illegal in California. - The intent of the carrier: If law enforcement believes that you are carrying a knife for unlawful purposes (such as using it as a weapon), you may be charged with additional crimes. If you are unsure whether your knife is legal or not, it’s best to err on the side of caution and leave it at home. It’s also important to note that even if your knife is legal under California law, there may be other laws or regulations that prohibit its possession in certain areas (such as schools or government buildings). Please note: – The law also allows for the carrying of folding knives with blades longer than 2.5 inches as long as they are not concealed and do not have a locking mechanism. Tips on Selecting a Legal Knife for Everyday Carry in California When choosing a knife for everyday carry in California, it’s important to consider the legal restrictions on blade length and type. As discussed earlier, the legal limit for blade length is 2. 5 inches, with exceptions for certain types of knives such as folding knives and kitchen knives. One factor to consider when selecting a knife is its intended use. Are you looking for a knife for self-defense or utility purposes? If you’re looking for a self-defense knife, you may want to consider a fixed-blade knife with a shorter blade length that can be easily concealed. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a utility knife, you may want to consider a folding knife with a longer blade length that can handle tougher cutting tasks. Another factor to consider is the type of blade. There are many different types of blades available, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, tanto blades are known for their strength and piercing ability, while drop point blades are versatile and well-suited for everyday tasks. It’s also important to consider the quality of the knife when making your selection. A high-quality knife will not only last longer but will also perform better than a lower-quality one. Look for knives made from durable materials such as stainless steel or titanium. Lastly, it’s important to choose a knife that feels comfortable in your hand and is easy to use. Consider factors such as weight, grip texture, and handle shape when making your selection. By taking these factors into consideration when selecting a legal knife for everyday carry in California, you can ensure that you have a reliable tool that meets your needs while also complying with state laws.

There is a wide variety of magazine variations, more than P.38 pistol variations. P.38 is most of the time (but not always) stamped on the side of the housing and usually one or more inspection marks are stamped on the spine. However, there are numerous variations that differ from above description. Too many variations exist to describe them all here. For a good overview on the production process, development and variation of magazines I recommend the new book: P.38 Magazines and Grips: A Collector's guide from the Authors; D. de Vlieger, Ron Clarin and Wolf-Dietrich Roth Also my magazine collection page gives a good overview of all the magazine variations. In total four manufacturers of P.38 magazines are known.The following waffenambt acceptance stamps can be found on the mags (sometimes the mags have no stamps at all!). -Mauser (E/135 early) (E/WaA135 late) -Erste NordBohmische Metallwarenfabrik (E/706 and/or jvd) It is also possible to determine the manufacturer by the form of the welding spots. Especially the ENM mags have quite characteristic welding spots. These are rectangular in contrast to the round welding spots of the other manufacturers. Till the beginning of 1942 Walther provided magazines with serial numbers that corresponded to the pistols. After this date no more mags were stamped with serial numbers. No other manufacturers used serial numbers on their mags. Some wartime mags have serial numbers that were applied post war. P38v and P38U are common markings on wartime magazines. The suffix letter v is an abbreviation for the German word "Verlangert", which means enlarged. The enlargement is only 2mm and is introduced as improvement. U stands for the German word "Ungehartet" and means Unhardened. Those markings were introduced around 1943 and 1944 respectively and can be found on magazines of different manufacturers.

I purchased a Rhem 770 308 with scope as my first rifle. I wanted something to take to the range, shoot at a fair distance just to target shoot and perhaps some hunting later on. Needless to say this poor excuse of a weapon is being shipped right back to Remington with a quickness. every third round failed to extract due to the bolt sticking. I had to single feed the rounds because the loaded mag. caused the bolt to also jam when trying to eject rounds. Lets not even discuss my customer service experience. Without being to hard on me can anyone suggest a weapon which will better suit what I am looking for. I just want a weapon I can shoot, work on accurate targeting, have fun with and enjoy. I like bolt action but now I am not sure I even want a Remington. My weapons instructor has a rhem, 700 but I was hoping to stay under $1000.00. any feedback would be welcome. and yes I did some research prior to purchasing the 770. I saw some comments about the bolt but had hoped the issue had been worked out. A rifle has to feel good to me, balanced and fit in my shoulder comfortably so I will take a look at all suggestions.

What’s the Best Conceal Carry Gun? Top 10 Revealed You have the right as an American Citizen to keep and bear arms. You have the right to protect yourself and your family. But choosing the best conceal carry is an important decision. Even though we would like it to be otherwise, the world is a dangerous place. Crime and violence happen all around us. Turn on the news and see for yourself. The most important things in your life, your family and safety, must be protected. A concealed firearm is the perfect way to ensure you have the protection you need. Many times, it is the lawful citizen legally carrying a firearm that rescues would-be victims and saves lives. It could be a friend, co-worker, or stranger. Gone are the days when guys used to settle differences behind the barn with fists. Fights today involve knives and firearms. Others have lost the ability to defend themselves physically due to injuries or old age. A concealed firearm can help you repossess the defense you once had. Different individuals have different reasons and desires for a concealed firearm. We believe this review will help you understand the variety of firearms available and what may work well for you. There is a perfect firearm for everybody. 1. What Is Concealability? Concealability is the ability to conceal your gun. A gun owner needs to consider concealability based on his or her preferred carry method and how much the way the gun to be hidden. Concealability in a cowboy boot is different than in a waistband, and both are different from carrying a gun in a purse. Body types can also affect the concealability of a gun. If keeping the gun concealed is of the utmost concern, body style can have a direct effect on the buyer’s choice of gun. 2. What Is Capacity? A gun’s capacity is the amount of ammunition it can hold. A general rule among gun owners is the more capacity the better; it is better to have too many bullets than too few bullets. However, in the specific arena of conceal carry, small guns are often preferable, and when the gun gets smaller concessions have to made on capacity. 3. What Is Stippling? Stippling is a gun modification that results in a secure, slip-free grip. It is sometimes used to refer to hobbyists who modify their guns for better stippling, but it can also refer to a gun’s manufactured features. Guns with good stippling often feature dimpled handles with raised dots or ridges for gripping. 4. How Big Should a Conceal Carry Gun Be? One of the biggest factors to consider when shopping for a conceal carry gun is size, including height, length, and width. Pistols are generally grouped into four categories: full size, compact, sub-compact, and micro. Full-size pistols are the most common firearm size, but they are not always ideal for conceal carry because they are bigger than most people want to tote around. Usually a full-size gun is at least five inches tall, at least seven inches long (with a 4-inch barrel), and at least one inch wide. The magazines are usually double stack, meaning they have two rows of bullets in one magazine. A compact pistol between 4.5 and 5 inches tall with a 1-inch width. The barrel is three to four inches. For some people, the compact pistols can be useful conceal and carry weapons, but for many they are still a bit too big for comfort. Compact revolvers have even shorter barrels at about three inches or less. Subcompact pistols are the next smallest class of pistol measuring around six inches long. The barrel is three inches or less, and the height is no more than five inches. They primarily utilize single stack magazines. Subcompact revolvers are known as snubnose revolvers. The smallest pistols are micro-pistols, also known as pocket pistols. They are small enough to fit in your pocket. They are used when concealment is essential, but they are usually not pleasant to shoot. They are known to have a lot of recoil. 5. Where Should I Carry My Concealed Weapon? Carrying your concealed weapon is about more than just comfort. If you use a holster, it is important that your holster is made specifically for your handgun. You do not want your firearm to move around. The holster should hold the gun securely enough that you can do routine physical activity without having to worry about or adjust the gun. A good holster should also be able to keep your gun concealed. In some states, the visibility of the gun can lead to brandishing as opposed to concealed carrying. Your clothes and your holster will work together to conceal your weapon, so put great thought into both. Some holsters to inside the waistband. Shoulder holsters require a jacket to conceal the holster and gun. Inside the pants, holsters can be worn almost anywhere along the waistline. Outside-the-pants holsters, paddle holsters, and belt holsters are easier to conceal with a lot of clothes on, but they are harder to conceal when you are not wearing a lot of clothes. Ankle holsters are effective for concealing, though they hinder your ability to draw the weapon quickly. Aside from holsters, some gun owners carry in purses, fanny packs, and briefcases. These can be easy and useful but remember a criminal may go for your purse or briefcase. How We Reviewed We reviewed a variety of the best conceal carry guns based on their features, pros and cons, availability, and price. We also took a look at factors such as the gun’s portability, ease of use, weight, and stopping power. We know there are a variety of guns that serve different needs, and there is an equally large number of gun buyers with different preferences and needs. Understanding the differences between common options can help you get the most out of the following review. Guns come in a variety of styles and options, and best conceal carry for one individual may be different than for another person. Guns can accomplish many purposes, including self-defense, but the gun you use to defend your home and family may be very different than the gun you choose to keep on your person. The size and body type of the individual lends itself to personal gun choices along with countless other factors. It can be beneficial to choose a go-to gun for conceal carry in order to familiar and comfortable with it. There are some standard options a person needs to understand if he or she is going to make the best possible choice. While pistols dominate the world of concealed carries today, revolvers are one of the most traditional guns. They feature a barrel-like cylinder that revolves in order to line individual bullets with the barrel. Single-action revolvers are old-fashion revolvers that require a manual cock with each shot. They can still be purchased today, but they are more nostalgic than practical. Because of the extra time and effort between shots, they are not a legitimate choice among the best conceal carry weapons. Modern revolvers are double-action guns. When you shoot a double-action revolver, the trigger cocks and releases the hammer in the same pull. Double-action revolvers are much easier to use than single-action, and a more common choice for conceal carry needs. Many people choose a revolver as the best conceal carry option because of its ease of use and simplicity. The cylinder is easy to open for clear vision of the individual cartridge chambers. When you insert cartridges in the chamber and close the barrel, you are ready to fire. Unloading it merely requires you to open the cylinder, tip the barrel upward and press the extractor in the front. Loading and unloading a revolver takes no unusual strength or strategy. The simplicity carries over to shooting as well. In the event of a cartridge misfunction, a second squeeze of the trigger simply rotates the cylinder to align the next cartridge. Another perk of the revolver is its individual bullet chambers. Because each cartridge has its own chamber, the shape of the ammunition can vary more than other weapons. Because the cartridges are sized for width, most revolvers can utilize smaller-caliber cartridges with the same diameter. Common conceal carry revolvers use .357 Mag. and .38 Special chambers. The Magnum is a longer bullet and more powerful, but both are compatible because they have the same diameter. The golden rule in this situation is that shorter cartridges can be loaded into guns with longer chambers, but longer cartridges cannot be loaded into guns intended for shorter cartridges. Other perks include the revolver’s resistance to jamming and the ability to fire a revolver through clothing. They are easier to clean than some other options and do not need to be disassembled. When the barrel of a revolver is pressed directly against an attacker, it is not hindered by the pressure. Revolvers offer a wide variety of grip choices. Most revolver grips cover a metal frame, and you can choose different grips to fit around the metal frame of your gun. Small grips can be easier to conceal, but large grips can be easier to access and shoot. Grips can also be customized for your hand size and personal preferences. A primary disadvantage to revolvers is the limited capacity. The most common barrels are six-shooters, and some revolvers that are smaller and good for conceal carry only have five rounds. You can purchase eight-shooters, but they are usually too large to serve as the best conceal carry weapons. When you run out of ammunition, it can be time-consuming to reload a revolver. You have to eject the spent cartridges, reload new ammunition in each cylinder, and close the barrel again. While a speed loader can make the process faster, it is still an overall disadvantage. Another disadvantage of the revolver’s cylinder is the width. Some barrels are wide enough to make concealing difficult. While the lack of a safety on double-action revolvers, it can be a perk to shoot without worrying about an additional step, but for some the lack of a safety option is a danger. Modern pistols are usually semi-automatic weapons with many different features. A magazine is housed inside the gun’s grip. The magazine holds cartridges, and the capacity of the magazine varies depending on its size and other factors. A pistol is operated by a slide that engages the gun. Within the slide is a single barrel that holds one bullet at a time. The shooter loads his rounds into the magazine and inserts the magazine into the pistol until it clicks into place. By pulling back on the slide, the first round is chambered. The gun is now ready to fire. When the first round is fired, the first cartridge is expelled, and the second cartridge is automatically chambered. You can fire repeatedly until the magazine is empty. The first and primary perk of pistols is its ability to fire repeatedly. It is not uncommon for a pistol to accommodate 17 rounds. It is also easy to keep extra, fully loaded magazines nearby. Pistols are also flat and sleek, making them easier to conceal than many revolvers. The slide on a pistol is also more resistant to recoil than a revolver, and many have a safety mechanism. This is beneficial due to another pistol perk, a light trigger squeeze. The squeeze is light, and the trigger pull is short. Pistols also have a short reset, meaning the trigger does not have to return all the way forward before it can be fired again. Firepower is the recurring theme that differentiates the pistol from the revolver. Pistols can shoot faster and more often than revolvers. They also have safety perks, such as hammer drop safety. Many pistols have internal mechanisms to prevent the gun from firing if it is accidentally dropped. While you can buy pistol grip accessories and replacements, the variety of grips is less than revolvers. The grip on a pistol is important not only for shooting but also for manipulating the slide. For shooters with less strength or hand grip in general, it is important to have a firm grasp of the weapon when pulling the slide. Unlike the revolver that excelled in simplicity and ease of use, beginners often find pistols difficult to master. There is no uniformity among pistols, and one pistol can vary greatly from another. Magazine releases, safeties, and other functions can be activated differently and found in different locations on different guns. Disassembly and cleaning also vary widely between guns. Pistols offer less ability to interchange ammunition, and they are more susceptible to jams. Some pistols even lend themselves to accidentally hitting the magazine release and being left with only one cartridge in the chamber and no magazine in the handle. A gun’s caliber is the diameter of the barrel. The bullet size matches the barrel. For instance, a gun is labeled as “9×19” then the diameter of the bullets used in the gun is 9mm and the length of the bullets is 19mm. However, caliber is not always measured in metric units. The same caliber could be measured as .223 inch or 5.56 mm. Another common mistake is based on relative measurements and what seems like an insignificant difference. For instance, how much difference could there be between 9 mm and 10 mm? Could a 9 mm bullet not travel through a 10 mm barrel? But the truth is guns are precision instruments. Every millimeter counts. Even fractions of a millimeter count. Some pistol calibers are common, and others have recurring spots on our list. The 9 mm is very common, called a 9x19mm Luger or 9x19mm Parabellum. The 9 mm has always been used by a lot of military outfits, and recently the FBI switched all agents to 9mm firearms. It also has benefits to newer gun users, including minimal kickback. It is powerful enough to stop any attacker. Overall Price Range The guns we reviewed ranged in price from under $400 to around $750. A buyer’s budget can be affected by a number of items, including specific needs or preferences he or she has in a gun. Some may prefer a specific type of steel or simply be averse to polymers. Others may want a certain size or grip style. Ultimately the value of the gun is determined by how desirable it is, and what is desirable for you may be different than what another person desires. As you peruse our list of the best conceal carry guns, remember that you are looking for a gun you can carry every day, if need be. You should desire a gun that you are comfortable using and, more importantly, that you are confident using. Do not let somebody talk you into something you don’t want, because you will likely spend too much money on something you are not comfortable using. Finally, remember that a conceal carry is not a showpiece. Your gun is not to impress others; it is meant to protect yourself. So as you investigate our list of the best conceal carry guns, find the ones that you could carry every day with confidence to establish a range of what you will likely need to invest.

Background: Hemrod was a weapon master among the dwarves of Asgard. His pride was such that he dared to defy Odin himself in a singular combat. Of course, Hemrod expertise was not enough for the father God, who exiled him to Earth as a punishment. He landed Earth as a fireball from the sky and burned a building to ashes killing a family in the accident. When the fire brigade arrived, they found him naked and unconscious with an axe in his hand (his magical dwarf axe helped him). Unknown from the truth, they thought Hemrod was trying to help. Hermod, hunted by his own shame and fault, played the amnesic card with the fire brigade, which adopted him. Now, Hermod tries to expiate his sins working as a fireman. Disposition: Once proud and haughty, Hemrod has become a respected piece of the society. He is friendly and brave. Always trying to help to his mates. His mechanic skills serves the fire brigade well and he is very accepted in it. Although, Hemrod hides the secret of his true origin and special abilities, always fearing to be uncovered. He always keeps his axe near him “it brought me luck” -always says to those who ask.

To say that I’m a min-maxer would be a bit of an overstatement. Whenever I’ve got the time to worry about maximizing my D&D characters’ effectiveness, I do it more as a mental exercise than anything. Occasionally I make a decision based on such number-crunching, but more often than not I opt for the in-character decision despite my analysis. What can I say; I’m just one of those weird dorks who really likes math. My most recent excursion into min-maxing centered around one question. Which does more damage, a scimitar or a longsword? The question is fairly straightforward for most D&D veterans. A scimitar has a larger crit range (18-20) but lower base damage (1d6), while a longsword has a smaller crit range (19-20) but greater base damage (1d8). This will no doubt sound tedious and unnecessary to a casual player, but most of us who excel in the fine art of “character optimization” have pondered this question once or twice. To get at the answer, I designed a d20 weapon comparison tool. Just input the damage stats of the two weapons you’re considering and see which is better. It doesn’t take other factors into account yet, but it’s pretty good for answering the base damage versus crit debate. As for the scimitar versus longsword question, it depends on your damage bonus. You have to have a pretty hefty damage bonus (+19 or greater) to make the scimitar deal better damage on average. If it’s a choice between two keen swords, however, you don’t need nearly as much of a damage bonus (+9 or greater) to make the scimitar deal better damage. The whole debate is pointless, of course, if your target is immune to critical hits, but we min-maxers still like to argue about it nonetheless. Of course, the program can help shed light on other weapon choices for your character. In testing it, I came across these interesting findings. - Dagger versus Punching Dagger – As you can see, there is practically no difference here except for a slight damage increase against opponents with ACs so high that you have to roll a 20 to hit them. It’s not worth giving up the versatility of a normal dagger, in my opinion. - Dagger versus Kukri – Even with a high damage bonus to take advantage of the increased crit range, you’d be hard-pressed to get the kukri to dish out more than an extra point of damage on average than an ordinary dagger. As with the punching dagger, I don’t think an infinitesimal damage boost is worth losing the dagger’s versatility as a thrown weapon. - Longsword versus Bastard Sword – The only difference between these two weapons stat-wise is a one-point increase in average damage. For fighters and other characters with spare feats to burn on Exotic Weapon Proficiency, that’s not bad, although it’s still sub-par when compared to staples like Weapon Specialization. Take the good feats first; save bastard sword proficiency for when you haven’t got anything better to use them on. - Scythe versus Greatclub – Don’t let that x4 crit multiplier tempt you; the scythe dishes out damage about as well as a greatclub, which is arguably one of the worst two-handed weapons in the game. Even if you have the damage bonus to make those rare crits really worthwhile, you’d still be better off using a greatsword. It’s a shame, I know, but a scythe just isn’t worth using unless you’re in it for character reasons. I’m interested in hearing what other people learn from my weapon comparison tool, or whether anyone else even finds it useful for that matter. Suggestions for improvement are, likewise, quite welcome.

Israeli Defense Giant Rafael Introduces State-of-the-Art Hypersonic Interceptor Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has revealed its groundbreaking creation, “Sky Sonic,” an advanced interception system designed to counter hostile hypersonic missiles surpassing Mach 5 speed. This cutting-edge technology will make its highly anticipated public debut at the esteemed Paris Air Show next week. Hypersonic weaponry, capable of reaching speeds five times that of sound, represents a significant advancement in military capabilities. Urgency mounts as recent reports suggest Iran has launched its own hypersonic missile, emphasizing the crucial need to develop both offensive and defensive measures. Sky Sonic’s Game-Changing Capabilities Sky Sonic, soon to join Rafael’s formidable array of layered missile defense systems, including Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Iron Beam, is poised to revolutionize the field. While specifics surrounding Sky Sonic remain under wraps until its public unveiling, it promises to be a comprehensive system dedicated to neutralizing missiles soaring at approximately Mach 10. To achieve this feat, the system must swiftly track the hypersonic missile, utilizing a synchronized sensor suite, to detect and intercept its erratic, low-altitude flight trajectory. Furthermore, it must execute intercepts promptly while maintaining constant awareness of the missile’s intended destination. Decoding Sky Sonic’s Configuration Preliminary images reveal Sky Sonic’s configuration, featuring a booster and a powered warhead stage consistent with other nations’ hypersonic interceptors, which aim to overcome adversaries’ advantages. If Sky Sonic adheres to Rafael’s established anti-missile systems, it will rely on a kinetic kill mechanism, employing direct interception rather than an explosive warhead. Dr. Yuval Steinitz, Chairman of Rafael, remarked: “RAFAEL has witnessed a remarkable surge of interest on the global stage, driven by our proven operational capabilities and the evolving geopolitical landscape, which has presented numerous opportunities. We remain attuned to the unfolding developments and emerging threats within the current security context, continuously striving to develop the most advanced defense systems. Project Sky Sonic embodies an innovative and unparalleled response to the hypersonic weapon threat.” Through Sky Sonic, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems reaffirms its commitment to pushing the boundaries of defense technology, safeguarding nations against the challenges posed by hypersonic weapons.

A nuclear device the size of a briefcase has been developed in Pakistan. The scientist responsible has disappeared with it. The CIA believes the target is on US soil. When the disappearance of the miniaturized nuclear weapon is uncovered a covert division of the CIA sends Ryan Nash, a major in the 82nd Airborne, to Pakistan. His mission is simple: assassinate the rogue physicist before the drop-off to a fundamentalist Islamic cleric can occur in the North-West Frontier Province. But the mission is not as simple as it seems.

Never mind Al-Qaeda, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or the insurgency in Iraq, a new terror threatens the sensitive oil-rich region of Arabia. A favourite pastime amongst the Arab upper classes, camel racing is now the hot-button issue of the region. Many countries have abolished the use of children as jockeys, and have moved to develop light-weight robot jockeys to replace them. Qatar was first out of the gate with the CyberCamel 3000, a lightweight robot capable of guiding a camel at nearly the same speed as boy jockey of the same mass. The CyberCamel 3000 is armed with six light-weight tac missiles with explosive warheads; it also has a taser-like appendage capable of delivering 50,000 volt stun charge. (In the prototype this was to disable the camel in case the robot lost control of the beast, but it has been effective at close-in combat with enemy soldiers.) The other appendage holds a riding crop. Since then, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have tested the Ungulator Mark X, a doll-like robot that is surprisingly huggable. (Not recommended if the Ungulator is in assault mode, in which case the plush fur-like covering is electrostatically charged and capable of delivering a lethal high-amp charge.) In addition to this defensive measure, the Ungulator’s googley-eyes contain the world’s first effective weaponized lasers. Since the successful tests of these two robots, Kuwait has launched its own crash program, with a biological focus. Instead of expensive robots, Kuwait is experimenting with a variety of primates, psychotropic compounds and high doses of mutagenic radiation. They plan to release ChimpZilla Camel Guided “Fun Bombs” later this year.

The Continental United States are under the watchful eyes of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). During the Nike Missile Defense years of 1955-1974, the Army Air Defense Command (ARADCOM), worked along side with NORAD to manage the Army missile defense network of the United States. If there was a Soviet Air attack, Air Force interceptor fighters would meet the enemy hundreds of miles away from the U.S. Those Soviet aircraft that got past the interceptor fighters would be delt with by the Nike Missile Batteries in the region. These Missile Batteries were considered the last line of defense. NORAD was the central monitoring point for all air traffic with 3 Distant Early Warning radar networks across the Arctic circle to Greenland, and Canada along with Navy picket radar ships and Air Force Radar Planes watching the skies 24/7. If a threat was detected, it would be relayed down to the Air Force SAGE Sector Command Post in that sector. In the Los Angeles Defense area, the Air Force SAGE Command Post was at Norton AFB, near San Barnardino. Then it was relayed to the Army Air Defense Command Post (AADCP) at Ft. Mac Arthur, LA-45DC. and the The 670th.Air Force Radar Squadron atop Palos Verdes Hill. The Air Defense Command Post (AADCP) had a tracking console made by Martin Murettia that could track 200 targets simultaneously. As each Nike site could only fire one missile at a time, the targets were selected by the AADCP, and assigned to the individual Nike Missile Batteries. Headquarters of the 2 battalions were located at Ft. Mac Arthur, San Pedro HQ-47BDE. Norad still monitors the airspace over the world with Satellites instead of ground based terrestrial radar networks. In the late 1950’s to early 1960 there were 16 Nike Missile Sites protecting the military and industrial assets of the Los Angeles area. Those numbers were reduced to 9 sites by the late 1960’s due to the introduction of the more powerful Nike Hercules which replaced the Nike Ajax. In the Los Angeles Defense area, Half of the sites were managed by the regular Army, 4th. Battalion 65th Artillery and the other half were managed by the California National Guard 4th Battalion 251st. Artillery. The shared responsibility of the Regular Army and the Army National Guard protecting the airspace was repeated throughout the US. During the operational years from 1955 to 1974, there were always 2 Nike Missile Batteries in the Los Angeles area, ready to fire at an enemy target within 15 minutes. These were called “Hot Batteries” Nike Organizational Chart NORAD & ARADCOM Air Force Sage Sector HQ.

At great expense, the Army buys new and upgraded laptops every few years…why can’t it replace the M4 with newer and better designs? According to a survey by the Center for Naval Analyses on 2,608 troops who had actually fired their M4s in combat, 19 percent of M4 users reported stoppages. 47 percent of the M4 users experienced failures of their magazines to feed. This means that under battlefield conditions, there’s almost a 1 in 5 chance that your M4 will malfunction, and a 1 in 2 chance that you’ll experience a failure to feed! In July 2007, the U.S. Army announced a limited competition between the M4 carbine, FN SCAR, HK416, XCR, and the HK XM8. Ten examples of each of the four competitors were involved. Each weapon fired 6,000 rounds in an extreme dust environment. The XM8 scored the best, with only 127 stoppages in 60,000 total rounds, the FN SCAR Light had 226 stoppages, while the HK416 had 233 stoppages. The M4 carbine scored far worse than the rest of the field with 882 stoppages. The controversies with the M4 continue, but the corporate fatcats at Colt seem to be experts at greasing the wheels in the Army procurement office. So our soldiers will continue to get better laptops, but not better rifles.

It was something to be proud of at the time, but a lot of time has passed, and I have grown unsatisfied with this mod. I would like to re-release it with the following adjustments: 1) Underbarrel Grenade Launchers (UBGL) can now launch regular grenades, and do not carry their own ammunition. Inventory icons for grenades can be potentially replaced with their underbarrel versions if a UBGL is equipped. Perhaps this icon replacement can be extended to the regular grenade launcher as well. 2) A new secondary weapon: Grenade Bandoleer, can be carried by classes that use the Grenade Launcher, granting an additional grenade slot. 3) No more different tiers of weapon upgrades, there will be just one UBGL, one Underbarrel Shotgun and one Underbarrel Flamethrower. They will change their appearance and stats automatically based on the weapon they are attached to, just like Bayonets. 3) Additional Shotgun Ammo item changed to be one item that can go into two slots, as opposed to being two items, each for their own slot. That requires potentially problematic highlander tech, further testing required. 4) I might redo some of the underbarrels’ models, particularly the UBGLs. 5) Could potentially add the option to equip heavy weapons as underbarrel attachments. In order to facilitate this, the mod would have to be reworked. I would have to add just one new weapon upgrade: Underbarrel Rail, which would grant a new Inventory Slot that can be used to attach Heavy Weapons to the primary weapon. And then I would add the grenade launcher and shotgun as Heavy Weapons. Flamethrower already exists, naturally. Since all Heavy Weapons use the same model, I think it would be reasonable to also make just one generic underbarrel weapon model per primary weapon tier that could reasonably pass as both a shotgun, a flamethrower or a grenade launcher. Not an easy task, but accomplishable, and still easier than making a unique underbarrel attachment for each weapon upgrade for each tier, even if it’s less sensible. 6) I’m undecided whether I’m okay with UBGL being a mostly cosmetic alternative to the regular grenade launcher. Probably not. In order to spice things up, it can be changed so that the grenade must be loaded into UBGL before it can be fired, which is a turn-ending action, but then the grenade can be fired as a free action next turn. “Load UBGL” is no longer turn-ending if the soldier has the Salvo perk. Alternatively, loading the grenade can be a non-turn-ending action, and so would be firing it, with or without Salvo. That would mean Salvo is useless, but it would probably be more reasonable and balanced then the first option. 7) Should add some configuration for the scatter mod. 8) Move the underbarrel attachments further away from the barrel. This will mean the left hand will be clipping in the armory with most of the attitudes, but in retrospect, that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. I could also maybe potentially adjust some of the worst offender attitudes so it doesn’t look that bad.

SOHIGKLBR. POCKET KNIFE. No. 497,897. Patented May 23, 1893. UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. HEINRICH SCHICKLER, OF ESSLINGEN, GERMANY. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 497,897, dated May 23, 1893. Application filed August 13, 1892. Serial No. 443,052. (No model.) l To all whom it may concern: Be it known that l, HEINRICH ScHIoKLER, of Esslingen, Viirtemberg, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pocket or Pen Knives,of which the following is a f ull, clear, and exact description, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings. My invention is an improved pocket or penknife designed particularly for sharpening pencils, though adapted also for use in the same manner and for the same purposes as an ordinary pen or pocket knife. The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure l is a side View of my improved knife with the blade closed, one side being `partly broken away for purposes of illustration. Fig. 2 is a similar View with the blade open. Fig is a cross section on line of Fig. ],and Fig. Il is a cross section on line y--y of Fig. 2. In the iigures the knife blade ZJ, is of the ordinaryI or any desired form. It is secured between the walls or sides of the knife by a suitable rivet forming the pivot thereof, and is provided with a spring for holding it open or closed in the ordinary manner. One side or wall of the knife, as at e, is formed of a straight Hat piece of metal, and to this may be secured a rounded outside ornamental covering of any desired material. The other side has formed integral therewith or secured thereto a conical shell a, having` its interior wall of approximately the size and shape of the pointed end of a pencil. This conical shell is preferably formed, as shown, integral with the wall e', and extending about half way of the length of the handle. One wall of the conical shell in the same plane with the blade of the knife is cut away as at c and the edge of the blade extends about half way across the space thus formed between the interorof the shell and the space between the walls. The outside of the conical shell may be ornamented in any desirable manner, and the portion of the handle between the shell and the pivot end of the knife covered or ornamentedV as desired and made to correspond to the other side. As before stated the edge of the knife blade extends slightly into the cut away portion c, of the shell. To sharpen a pencil it is only necessary to insert the end into the open end of the shell until the end comes in contact with the knife edge, and then rotate either the pencil or knife, when the knife edge will act to trim or cut the end of the pencil to sharpen the same. I claim as my invention- A pocket knife havinga conical shell formed in one side of the handle thereof the said cone having one side parallel with the handle and provided with a cut away portion, with the blade of the knife extending when closed into the cut away portion, substantially as described. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses. R. BAYER, W.

Butterfly knife: how to use it and legal information (when it is legal and when its possession and use is illegal). The balisongor butterfly knife, is certainly not counted among thetypes of kitchen knives, therefore, before understanding how it is used, let's take a look at what the law says. Before you seehow to use a butterfly knifewe will give you an overview of the relevant regulations on the use and possession of weapons. L'use of the butterfly knifesometimes it can be consideredillegaland punishable by law under Art. 699 of the penal code. Butterfly knife: legal or illegal In many states thebutterfly knifeor balisongisillegal. For example, in Germany thebalisongis considered entirelyoutlawed(Waffengesetz, Arms Act) starting in April 2003, following the Erfurt massacre. In Germany, in fact, anyone who owns, sells or buys this knife is punishable by a fine of up to 10,000 euros and, if he commits a crime by holding and using this weapon, he is punishable by imprisonment from 1 to 10 years. . At the opposite end, we find Russia where thebutterfly knifeit is completely legal as long as the blade is no longer than 90 mm. InItalyown abutterfly knifeit is legal, as long as you keep it in your private home. And insteadillegalthe transportation and detention of thebutterfly knifeoutside the home: in practice, if you want to buy a butterfly knife you will have to keep it at home, you cannot carry it around even if the blade is not sharpened on both sides. To integrate art. 699 paragraph 2 of the criminal code and art. 4 paragraphs 2 and 3 n. 110 of 1975, on the port of aknifewith a folding blade equipped with a blade locking system, even if manual, it is irrelevant that theblade whether or not double-edged. In simple terms, even if yoursbutterfly knifeit has only been sharpened on one side of the hand, however it is illegal to carry it. In Italy there is a generalban on carrying weapons sanctioned by the aforementioned article 699 of the criminal code and by art. 4 paragraph 1 l.n.110 of 1975. The use of this knife can only be done in homes and private places where the use cannot harm the safety of third parties. What if they stop me for a checkup and I have a butterfly knife? Anyone who takes a weapon out of their home is punished with arrest for up to eighteen months just for mere detention. Remember that the law is not optional: it must be respected! Butterfly knife: how to use it How do you use a butterfly knife? First make sure you comply with the gun possession law and, forlearn how to use a butterfly knife, use a fake one or one with a dull blade, in this way you will avoid injury during any exercises. Thebalisongit is a knife of Filipino origin: it has a particular handle that is opened in two parts. L'use of balisong it is linked precisely to the peculiarity of the handle. If you learn how to use the double handle, you will have learned how to use a butterfly knife! The two handles can rotate on the blade which can be sharpened only on one side or on both sides, to ensure maximum safety, remember to use a butterfly knife with a dull blade. When the knife is closed, the blade is hidden inside the grooves of the handles themselves. Learn first to open and close the knife with a certain familiarity: if you are not careful you will be able to cut yourself just as you accompany the handle on the sharp edge of the blade (the handle shown on the left). While the second handle represents a safety lock. Remember that once you have removed the safety pin (a closure that locks the two handles) to open thebutterfly knife you will need to snap the handle to the right if you are right handed or to the left if you are left handed. While shooting, you will need to be skilled enough to let the blade and the first handle (the one shown on the left in the photo) snap out while you will have to grab the back half of the safety handle (the one shown on the right in the photo). In the following video tutorial (it is in Italian) the complete movement to trigger the butterfly knife is shown. The video shows the opening and closing movement (the basic acrobatics). Only when you are familiar with the click and the closing of the knife will you be able to try other more scenic stunts. In some places in Italy there is no shortage of Filipino martial arts courses where the use of balisong is provided. If you decide to practice solo or by following tutorials and tricks online, buy a "training" butterfly knife and not sharpened. At "this Amazon page" you can find a practicalbalisongwith blunt solid steel blade, so you will have the same weight and handle as aprofessional balisongbut without taking risks to your health and the law. From the Amazon page, we have reported the same to youbutterfly knifethat you find in the illustration above and that the boy uses in the video that follows, the only difference is that the blade is completely legal as it is not sharpened.

site.btaPM Says "Bulgarian Missiles, If Used in Ukraine, Will Protect People, Not Attack" If Bulgarian missiles are used, they will be for the protection of people, they are not offensive missiles, Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov told journalists on Wednesday regarding Russia's call for Bulgaria to reconsider its decision to hand over S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems to Kyiv. "These missiles or parts of them, if used in Ukraine, will be for the protection of cities like Kyiv, Odesa. They are for air defence," Denkov said. "I think that after everything we have seen in the last year and a half, Russia is the last one that could talk about respecting international treaties," Denkov said after the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation urged Bulgaria not to hand over missiles to Ukraine to avoid violating international law. "Bulgaria's transfer to Ukraine of missiles for S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems in the combat zone will lead to an escalation of the conflict and to innocent human casualties," the Russian Federal Service said in its Wednesday's statement. According to the service, this is yet another attempt by the Bulgarian leadership to blatantly violate its international arms control obligations, despite repeated clarifications from the Russian side. At a closed-door sitting on Wednesday, Parliament voted 141-40, with three abstentions, to approve a resolution on the provision of additional military aid to Ukraine. The aid consists of defective 5V55R surface-to-air missiles owned by the Defence Ministry and rounds of 5.56x45 mm-calibre automatic-weapon ammunition which have been discarded by the Interior Ministry.

The core of the Fallen forces, Vandals present a serious threat at any range. Loadout: Shock Rifle or Shock Blades Variants: Wire Rifle or Shrapnel Launcher and Shock Blades Vandals are dangerous combatants at medium range with their tracking Shock Rifles, or at long range with their sniper variant, the Wire Rifle. Shock Rifle Vandals prefer to stay at a moderate distance, letting their homing projectiles do the work of flushing you out of cover or hammering you in the open. Standing out in the open with multiple Shock Rifles targeting you is asking for a quick trip to the grave. On the other hand, Wire Rifle snipers are typically located at long range and prefer to stay that way. You can spot them by the telltale glow of the Wire Rifle as it charges to fire at you. Vandals can move very quickly, so be wary of losing track of them during a close-range firefight. Fireteam communication is very helpful when Vandals are around. Any party members who are at longer range and have a good overview of the battlefield can keep tabs on Vandal movement. Vandals are tougher and faster than Dregs, and their Shock Rifles are considerably more dangerous than Shock Pistols. Make good use of cover when fighting them, especially if there are multiple foes present. Pursuing combat in the open or rushing them is a potentially bad idea. Staying in hard cover and changing your position frequently is also helpful for dealing with sniper Vandals, as you can avoid their shots entirely and pick them off once you have a clean line of sight. For all types of Vandals, you should use a precision medium- to long-range weapon to eliminate them swiftly and from a distance. Close-range or sustained fire weapons expose you to a greater volume of Shock Rifle fire or Wire Rifle shots, neither of which is good for your health. Single target or area denial grenades work better than most seeking varieties because Vandals are usually strong enough to survive a seeker grenade hit. On the other hand, sticky grenades are frequently lethal, and area denial grenades can push them out of cover (or kill them outright if they refuse to move). Be careful when trying to use grenades or slower offensive supers against Vandals. These enemies are fast enough to evade incoming attacks if they are fully aware of your position and spot the incoming grenade or super. Equipped with cloaking technology, Stealth Vandals are a dangerous invisible threat. Loadout: Shock Rifle or Shock Blades Variants: Wire Rifle or Shrapnel Launcher or Shock Blades While Stealth Vandals are technically a simple variant of the basic Vandals, their inherent cloaks make them considerably more lethal. Stealth Vandals can be armed with Shrapnel Launchers, Shock Rifles, Wire Rifles, or Shock Blades. Melee Stealth Vandals use their cloaks to get in close and attack you for massive damage at point-blank range. In hectic battles or poor lighting conditions, it can be very difficult to spot sniper Stealth Vandals before they fire. Unalarmed Stealth Vandals won’t trigger their cloaking devices until they are aware of you. In some encounters, you can pick them off at long range before they become active and alert. Firing at a Stealth Vandal disrupts its cloak while it is taking damage, and they do decloak completely when they perform a melee attack. Using your movement abilities to escape from melee Stealth Vandals is highly recommended if they manage to close the distance with you. Sniper Vandals aren’t any more dangerous than normal Vandals once you are aware of their position. The trick is finding them in the first place before they take your head off. Stealth Vandals do sometimes move more slowly than normal Vandals to maximize the concealing properties of their cloaks, but they still advance very quickly into melee range when using their Shock Blades. Unlike normal Vandals, consider bringing some form of close-range weaponry if you know there is an abundance of melee Stealth Vandals in your chosen mission. You can often evade Stealth Vandals by jumping, but not every combat situation is suitable for exposing yourself in the air repeatedly while trying to maintain your distance.

There are a lot of different weapons out there. If you include all of the “traditional” martial arts weapons then the variety seems to grow tremendously. If you want to be as effective as possible in a self-defense situation, then you’d better have some weapons skills, but does that mean that you have to practice with as many different weapons as possible in the event that something strange or exotic is available in a fight? Thankfully, the answer is a definite “no”. What you should practice with are some weapons that are representative of their entire category. If you don’t know what the categories of weapons are, then read on. Like the classification of living things in biology, weapons can be grouped (and subgrouped) based on their characteristics. A good taxonomy will have non-overlapping categories. So, I’ll do my best to meet that standard here. Keep in mind that while the categories don’t overlap, there are weapons that fit into multiple categories. Not to worry though. If you understand how to fight with each of the categories, then that multi-category weapon will work just fine for you. |I love my XDM |Throwing knives…of movie fame |The ever popular “ninja” star |Yes…this is a rock |Here’s the typical rattan stick ala Filipino martial arts |Tonfas…like a stick with an extra handle |Nunchucks are good for bashing people… that definitely counts as an impact weapon (also a flexible weapon) |I witnessed the two year old version of my little brother smash the skull of my older brother with one of these. It looked like it hurt. So, this goes here. |The ubiquitous folding chair of pro wrestling fame |CRKT M16 Z … never leaves my side |A shard of broken glass will cut you as easily as any knife will |Prison shiv #1 |Prison shiv #2 |The school yard favorite… |Ergonomic handle for really driving that sucker deep |Three piece staff ala China |Kusari fundo ala Japan |Flail ala…miscellaneous European countries…I don’t know |I actually wear this kind of belt virtually every day. The metal doesn’t look like much, but I could break someone’s bone with it I’m sure. |Here’s the famous Dan Inosanto using a sarong (ala Indonesia) to make some poor guy’s day a little less pleasant Flexible weapons have a “bendy” part. They can be used to grab, immobilize, and strangle. When weighted, they can be used as effective impact weapons as well. That is about it for categories of weapons. If you can understand how to use each of the categories, then you should be able to use just about anything that you pick up to defend yourself adequately. You should be able to improvise just about any object into a weapon of some kind. Adaptability is key. I’ve been thinking a lot about various weapons and their applications in self-defense scenarios. So, expect to see more along this vein in upcoming posts.

Belgium’s Fabrique Nationale (FN) and Colt have long been competitors on the American firearms market. For almost a century both companies have competed for military contracts, designers, and sales on the American civilian market. However, in the 2000s, FN dealt a blow that stung Colt: it won a contract to produce the M16 rifle and M4 carbine, designs that were almost inextricably linked to the Colt brand. The story of how FN regained a foothold in the American market in the 1980s and continues to remain a couple steps ahead of Colt to this day is one of clever corporate maneuvering and complacency on Colt’s part. Unfortunately for Colt, following its bankruptcy in 2015, it has not come close to even competing with FN globally.

North Korea says chief Kim Jong Un oversaw a profitable flight check of a hypersonic missile he claimed would remarkably improve the nation’s nuclear “war deterrent.” The report by North Korean state media on Wednesday got here a day after the militaries of the United States, South Korea and Japan stated they detected North Korea firing a suspected ballistic missile into its jap sea. The Korean Central News Agency stated Tuesday’s launch concerned a hypersonic glide automobile, which after its launch from the rocket booster demonstrated “glide jump flight” and “corkscrew maneuvering” earlier than hitting a sea goal 1,000 kilometers away. Photos launched by the company confirmed a missile mounted with a pointed cone-shaped payload hovering into the sky whereas leaving a path of orange flames and Kim watching from a small cabin with high officers. The launch was North Korea’s second check of its purported hypersonic missile in every week, a kind of weaponry it first examined in September, as Kim continues a defiant push to develop his nuclear weapons capabilities within the face of worldwide sanctions, pandemic-related difficulties and deadlocked diplomacy with the United States. The North has been ramping up its testing exercise since final fall in what specialists see as an try to use extra strain on rivals Washington and Seoul to just accept it as a nuclear energy in hopes of profitable reduction from financial sanctions. The KCNA stated Kim praised the accomplishments made by his navy scientists and officers concerned in creating the hypersonic missile system, which he described as probably the most vital a part of a brand new five-year plan introduced in early 2021 to construct up the North’s navy power. The North has described the brand new missile as a part of its “strategic” weaponry, implying that the system is being developed to ship nuclear weapons. Hypersonic weapons, which fly at speeds in extra of Mach 5, or 5 occasions the velocity of sound, may pose an important problem to missile protection programs due to their velocity and maneuverability. Such weapons had been on a wish-list of subtle navy property Kim unveiled early final yr together with multi-warhead missiles, spy satellites, solid-fuel long-range missiles and submarine-launched nuclear missiles. Experts say North Korea is probably going years away from buying a reputable hypersonic system. But Kim’s attendance at Tuesday’s launch and the state media’s description of it as a “final test-fire” indicated that the North was presumably shifting towards deploying the weapon comparatively quickly. “The superior maneuverability of the hypersonic glide vehicle was more strikingly verified through the final test-fire,” KCNA stated. It stated Kim harassed the necessity to velocity up the growth of the nation’s “strategic military muscle both in quality and quantity and further modernize the army” and inspired navy scientists to proceed their success in “remarkably increasing the war deterrent of the country.” US State Department spokesman Ned Price stated Washington condemns the North’s newest launch, which violates a number of UN Security Council resolutions and poses a risk to neighbours and to the broader worldwide group.

Following Tuesday’s launch, the Joint Chief of Staff stated in an announcement that the North demonstrated extra superior functionality in comparison with its earlier check, however didn’t elaborate additional. Kim entered the brand new yr renewing his vow to bolster his navy forces, even because the nation grapples with pandemic-related difficulties which have additional strained its economic system, crippled by US-led sanctions over its nuclear program. The financial setbacks have left Kim with little to indicate for his diplomacy with former US President Donald Trump, which derailed after their second assembly in 2019 when the Americans rejected North Korea’s demand for main sanctions reduction in alternate for a partial give up of its nuclear capabilities. The Biden administration, whose insurance policies have mirrored a broader shift in US focus from counterterrorism and so-called rogue states like North Korea and Iran to confronting a near-peer adversary in China, has stated it’s keen to renew talks with North Korea “anywhere and at any time” with out preconditions. But North Korea has up to now rejected the concept of open-ended talks, saying the US should first withdraw its “hostile policy,” a time period the North primarily makes use of to explain the sanctions and joint US-South Korea navy drills.

With 4 billion 740 million dollars in modern armored combat equipment, the 18th Polish Mechanized Corps stationed in eastern Poland will be equipped. The first 28 tanks will be delivered to Poland for training later this year, with the entire deal to be completed by 2026. The modernization of the Polish army, including the acquisition of the latest Abrams armor, is aimed at deterring a potential attacker – Blaszczak stressed after the treaty was signed, adding that everyone is aware of what is happening in Poland’s eastern district at the moment. The agreement, announced last July, marks the first deployment in Europe of the American M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 armored vehicle developed to act as a counterweight to the Russian T-14 Armata tank. The purchases will be funded by Warsaw from sources other than the Army’s long-term modernization program. In mid-March, the Polish parliament passed a law on increasing defense spending and the size of the army. Accordingly, in addition to budget resources, expenditures for the purchase of weapons will also be covered by long-term loans and bonds, and next year defense expenditures in Poland will be raised to 3% of GDP.
