An apparatus for land, sea, and air defence, the apparatus consisting of a cylinder setup (16) formed by two or more nested cylinders characterised in that in order to create a cylinder mast (17) in line with the telescope-type operation, i.e., to change the cylinders from the shortened form into the elongated form, the pipe (34) or other tie binding, with the help of the connectors (33 and 35), together the ends of the inner cylinder (3) and the middle cylinder (2) or the outer cylinder (1) of the packed cylinder setup (16), which is pre-equipped with a minimum of one internal and / or external spring (45), can be cut by a remote-control switch and / or an explosive agent (36), preferably an electric primer and / or gunpowder and / or sulphur or the kind, triggered / detonated with the help of a wire (37). 5. An apparatus according to any of Claims 1 - 4 characterised in that the cylinders include the stoppers (18 and 19) restricting longitudinal movement at the point where each cylinder is nested inside each other. 6. An apparatus according to Claims 1 and 5 characterised in that an interior tube (11), thinner than the inner cylinder (3), can be attached, preferably with a flange (31), to the other end of the inner cylinder (3) and a valve (6) to the end opposite to the end of the interior tube (11) which is attached to the inner cylinder (3) which can be opened with a remote control switch. 7. An apparatus according to any of Claims 1 - 6 characterised in that at the other end of the apparatus, there is a space, the so-called weapon container (20) for storing an automatic weapon (8), a grenade thrower tube (14) and firing pin (15), missiles (12), various mines, as well as other weapons and ammunition. 8. An apparatus according to any of Claims 1 - 7 characterised in that the apparatus includes a pressure-operated piston (24) located in the operating cylinder which operates with a time delay valve (22) and a gear rail (25) attached to the piston(24) for turning the automatic weapon with a gear (26) and a shaft (9) attached to the gear to the firing position which position is essentially lateral with respect to the transportation position and for opening a fire. 9. An apparatus according to any of Claims 1 - 8 characterised in that the barrel / barrels of the automatic weapon (8) is / are located noncentrally in relation to the cylinder mast's (17) longitudinal shaft in order for the weapon to be able to rotate with recoil around the longitudinal rotation shaft (27) of the cylinder mast (17). 10. An apparatus according to any of Claims 1 - 7 characterised in that the weapon container includes a missile / missiles (12), essentially parallel with the cylinder mast (17), which is / are to be launched with an electric remote control unit. 11. An apparatus according to any of Claims 1 - 7 characterised in that the weapon container (20) includes grenade thrower tube / tubes (14) which are essentially parallel with the cylinder mast (17), with a grenade / grenades (13) at its / their upper end supported by a spring (32) or such other suspended locking pin (28) and with firing pin / pins (15) at its / their bottom end. 12. An apparatus according to Claim 11 characterised in that as the cylinder setup (16) opens up into a cylinder mast (17), the string, wire, cable or the kind (29) placed inside the channel (30) pulls the spring (32) or such other suspended locking pin (28) from supporting the grenade / grenades (13) whereupon the grenade / grenades falls / fall down to the bottom end of the tube (14) where the firing pin (15) fuses the primer located at the other end of the grenade (13), thereby firing the grenade. 13. An apparatus according to any of Claims 1 - 7 characterised in that a fragmentation or other type of mine (38) and the equipment to detonate the mine (38) are enclosed in the weapon container (20), which weapon container (20) is divided into two or more longitudinal halves or parts, each having its own base plate (46) or the like to support a fragmentation mine or other type of mine (38) and a protective lid (7) and the base plate (46) of each is fastened to the inner cylinder (3) with a shaft (39) which is in a transverse direction in relation to the direction of the telescope's movement. 14. An apparatus according to Claim 13 characterised in that as the weapon container (20) emerges from the ground, and with the transport locking ping (42) removed, its different halves or parts, each containing one or several mine(s) (38), are detached from each other by a thrust of one or several spring(s) (43) placed between the protective lids (7) and / or by a thrust of a movement and / or gravity and turn around the shafts (39) until the switch (41) of the trigger (40) placed on the base plate sinks inside the trigger (40) as its other end comes against the inner cylinder (3), igniting the detonator (44) and exploding the mine (38). 15. An apparatus according to any of Claims 1-14 characterised in that a drill (4) , rotated by power device (5) operating with a battery, an accumulator, or the kind included in the apparatus, is attached to the other end of the apparatus for drilling a hole into the earth to protect the apparatus. 16. An apparatus according to any of Claims 1-14 characterised in that the drill (4) is permanently fixed to the cylinder setup (16); hence, drilling takes place by rotating the cylinder setup (16) and by pushing it down. 17. An apparatus according to any of Claims 1-14 and 16 characterised in that to place the apparatus into the earth, a separate drilling unit, with implements, such as a drill, a battery, an accumulator, or the kind, and a power device is used to drill a hole and to put the apparatus according to the invention into the earth. 18. An apparatus according to Claim 17 characterised in that the apparatus has an implement to alleviate the impact of the upper load which implement consists of a stretch-material, preferably rubber, bag (47), connected or attached to the bottom end of the outer cylinder (1), containing, and / or attached to it, a cartridge (48) containing carbonic acid or other pressurised gas as well as a spike(49) or the kind, also attached to the bottom surface of the outer cylinder and placed inside the bag (47), for breaking the cartridge and discharging the pressure into the bag (47), or which implement is a compressible coil or other type of spring for alleviating the impact of the upper load.
