Army general ( Soviet Union ) Army general ( Russian : " генерал армии " , " general armii " ) was a rank of the Soviet Union which was first established in June 1940 as a high rank for Red Army generals , inferior only to the marshal of the Soviet Union . In the following 51 years the Soviet Union created 133 generals of the army , 32 of whom were later promoted to the rank of marshal of the Soviet Union . The rank was usually given to senior officers of the Ministry of Defence and General Staff , and also to meritorious military district commanders . From the 1970s , it was also frequently given to the heads of the KGB and the Ministry of the Interior . Soviet army generals include Ivan Chernyakhovsky ( the youngest Soviet World War II front commander , killed in East Prussia ) , Aleksei Antonov ( head of the General Staff in the closing stages of World War II , awarded the Order of Victory ) , Issa Pliyev ( an Ossetia n - born World War II commander who played a major role in the Cuban missile crisis ) and Yuri Andropov ( who held the rank as head of the KGB ) . The Soviet rank of army general is equivalent to the UK and US ranks of general ; Soviet and current Russian rank systems also have a marshal rank . The corresponding naval rank is admiral of the fleet , which has been used in both the Soviet and Russian Navies , although conferred much more rarely . General of the army was used for the infantry and marines , but in the air force , artillery , armoured troops , engineer troops and signal troops the ranks of marshal or chief marshal of the air force , artillery , etc . were used . The contemporary Russian Army retains the rank of army general and it is still frequently used . After the dissolution of the Soviet Union the ranks of marshal or chief marshal were abolished , and the most senior officers of these branches now hold the rank of general of the army . Although chief marshals and marshals and admirals of the fleet were in service equivalent to the general of the army , in rank they superseded them until 1974 when the rank general of the army was formally equated with the chief marshals or a troop arm and marshals of a troop arm . It was at this time that their shoulder straps were changed from a four star to a single , larger star and the army logo ( making them visually similar to the marshal shoulder strap ) . Likewise after 1974 they were permitted to wear the marshal ' s star necklace . Before 1943 , army generals wore five stars on their collar patches ( " petlitsy " ) . Since 1943 , they have worn four stars on their shoulder straps . From 1974 they wore a single large star with a ground forces emblem . In 1997 their Russian successors returned to the four - star insignia . In 2013 , the single large star returned as the insignia for army general in the Russian Federation .

Khattak first came to prominence in 2004 - 2006 , when as commander of Pakistan ' s 41st Infantry Division in Quetta he was thrust into battle against Balochi tribal militants . Despite a few early setbacks he was able to more or less control / contain the militancy , through a combination of diplomacy ( he helped to create a tribal militia to counter the militants called the " Marri Force " ) and decisive action when merited . War in North - West Pakistan . This brought him to the fore and he was sent to another hotspot as commander of the paramilitary Frontier Corps in 2006 . Here he applied the lessons learned and unlike his predecessor insisted on dialogue which ultimately led to the 2006 peace deal . Unfortunately this was used by foreign militants to regroup and led to a spate of suicide bombings in Pakistan in 2007 . The end of the ceasefire and the militants offensive brought FC under tremendous pressure and Khattak was criticized . However , he had by late 2007 and 2008 in conjunction with regular army troops managed to bring most of the restive Swat and Waziristan areas under some aspect of authority as evidenced by Baitullah Mehsud ' s unilateral ceasefire .

RARDEN The L21A1 RARDEN is a British 30mm autocannon used as an armoured vehicle weapon . The name is a contraction of the Royal Armament , Research and Development Establishment and Enfield . The Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment ( RARDE ) and the Royal Small Arms Factory ( RSAF ) , Enfield , at the time , were both part of the Ministry of Defence . Design . The weapon uses a long recoil system of operation , for minimum recoil forces on the mounting and vehicle . Spent cases are ejected forwards . The weapon was also designed for minimum inboard length , allowing for more space in the turret or a smaller turret overall . Another feature is that no gun gas escapes into the turret . The cartridge used is 170mm in length , and is based on the Hispano - Suiza 831 - L round . Unlike the belt - fed systems on most vehicle weapons , Rarden is loaded manually with three - round clips . This limits its capacity to fire in automatic mode to 6 rounds . The Rarden gun does not require an external power source and can therefore remain in action even if the vehicle is disabled . Manufacture . The RSAF Enfield manufactured the Rarden from the early 1970s . However the RSAF was incorporated within the Royal Ordnance Factories in the early 1980s , in the run up to their privatisation , becoming part of Royal Ordnance . Royal Ordnance ( RO ) planned to close Enfield and several other sites after privatisation . British Aerospace ( BAe ) bought Royal Ordnance on 2 April 1987 and the closure of RSAF Enfield was announced on 12 August 1987 . Most of RO Enfield ' s work was moved , prior to the closure of the RSAF , to RO Nottingham . It appears that manufacture of the Rarden was carried out at British Manufacture and Research Company BMARC from 1985 . This company was purchased by BAe in 1992 , becoming part of RO Defence ; now renamed BAE Systems Global Combat Systems Munitions . Service use . The Rarden is , or has been , fitted to a number of armoured vehicles in the British Army : It appears that the Rarden was also intended to be retro - fitted to the FV432 armoured personnel carrier , but when fitted with Rarden and its turret there was too little room left to accommodate the necessary infantry . Some vehicles were fitted with the Fox turret , as an experimental fire support vehicle . There were problems with the long - barrelled weapon fouling external fittings ( which meant that the turret had to be mounted on a three inch spacer ) and with blast damage to the flotation screen . Replacement . In March 2008 , the UK Ministry of Defence announced that a 40mm weapon firing Cased Telescoped Ammunition developed by the Anglo - French firm CTA International was selected to replace Rarden in the Warrior IFV and to be fitted to the reconnaissance vehicle which would replace the existing range of CVR ( T ) vehicles .

German Armed Forces casualties in Afghanistan With a contingent of 5 , 350 soldiers and policemen , Germany is one of the main contributors of troops to coalition operations in Afghanistan . Although German troops mainly operate in the comparatively quiet north of the country , the Bundeswehr has suffered a number of casualties during participation in the International Security Assistance Force mission in Afghanistan . Overview . As of May 5 , 2013 , 54 German soldiers and three policemen died in Afghanistan , raising the death toll to 57 . Among them are the first German reservists to fall in hostile actions and the first German policemen to die in a deployment abroad since World War II . In addition to these fatalities , 245 German soldiers and four police officers suffered injuries of varying degree caused by hostile activity . Controversy . The number of fatalities has caused a stir in Germany since it is the highest of all deployments abroad that the German army has ever participated in since World War II and because the German participation in ISAF and Operation Enduring Freedom , which is now in its seventh year , is much disputed at the moment . ISAF participation marks the first time since World War II that German ground troops have been confronted with an organized enemy . Prior to 2002 , the Armed Forces had sustained only two losses of life connected to direct hostile activities , ( A soldier with UN troops in Cambodia was shot dead in 1993 and a medical officer died when the helicopter he was travelling in was shot down by Georgian insurgents in 2003 ) . As a direct result of the number of deaths , German Federal Minister of Defence , Franz Josef Jung , presented plans to establish a central memorial for fallen soldiers in Berlin on June 17 , 2007 . Furthermore , the Bundeswehr has unveiled a new order which is to honour acts of heroism achieved in deployments abroad : The Cross of Honour for Bravery . An incident that occurred on June 26 , 2005 which was at first declared an accident by the Cabinet of Germany turned out to have been an attack with a remote - controlled device . The cause of death of a soldier who died on September 8 , 2007 at an unknown location in Afghanistan has not yet been disclosed . It appears to be a result of suicide . The cause of death of two soldiers who died in the first half of 2003 has yet to be disclosed . As no official sources specify the circumstances of their deaths , they are very likely not connected to hostile action . In a statement published on February 2 , 2008 , Herr Jung mentioned a number of 26 German soldiers who had been killed in Afghanistan . German media have reported several times that at least twelve Kommando Spezialkräfte Army Special Forces soldiers died in Afghanistan . In a 2010 interview however , KSK commander Hans - Christoph Ammon said that no KSK soldiers had so far been killed in action . However , due to a press release from the US European Command , it is confirmed that at least one soldier was wounded in action at an location in Afghanistan sometime between June and October 2005 .

Soviet War Memorial ( Schönholzer Heide ) The Soviet War Memorial in Schönholzer Heide ( Sowjetisches Ehrenmal in der Schönholzer Heide ) in Pankow , Berlin was erected in the period between May 1947 and November 1949 and covers an area of 30 000 m² . Schönholzer Heide was in the 19th century a popular recreation area . During the Second World War the place was turned into a work camp . After the war the north - western part of the area was used to build the third largest Soviet war memorial in Berlin , together with the memorials in Treptower Park and Tiergarten . A group of Soviet architects consisting of A . Solowjew , M . Belarnzew , W . D . Koroljew and the sculptor Iwan G . Perschudtschew made the sketch for the cemetery , where 13 , 200 of the 80 , 000 Soviet soldiers that had fallen during the battle of Berlin , should be buried . On a wall around the memorial there are 100 bronze tablets where the names , ranks and birth dates of the soldiers it was possible to identify , are written . This group constitutes about one fifth of the fallen soldiers . On both side of the main axis , which at its end one finds a 33 , 5 meter tall obelisk made of syenite , there are placed 8 burial chambers where 1182 soldiers are buried . Under the Honor Hall inside the obelisk there are buried two Soviet colonel s . A statue of the Russian Mother Earth is situated in front of the obelisk and constitutes the main point of the memorial . On the statue ' s base , which is made out of black porphyry , one finds 42 bronze tablets on which the names of fallen officers are inscribed .
