F 7 Såtenäs F 7 Såtenäs , Skaraborgs Flygflottilj , " Skaraborg Air Force Wing " , or simply " F 7 " , is a Swedish Air Force wing with the main base located near Lidköping in south - central Sweden . History of the airbase . The decision to set up the air wing was made in 1936 , but disagreements in choosing a location delayed the commissioning . The Såtenäs estate was chosen for its good location and close proximity to suitable target ranges , and was purchased for 685 , 000 SEK in 1938 . The first squadrons were set up by B 16A Caproni purchased from Italy at the start of World War II .

The second squadron followed suit in 1998 . F 7 is the main center for the entire Gripen system , and all training of pilots ( including that of foreign operators ) is carried out here .

Aviso An aviso ( formerly also an " adviso " ) , a kind of dispatch boat or advice boat , survives particularly in the French Navy , equivalent to the modern sloop . The " Dictionnaire de la Marine Française 1788 – 1792 " ( by Nicolas - Charles Romme ) describes avisos as " small boats designed to carry orders or advices " . French World War I avisos , used also during World War II , had displacement 300 - 700 tons , speed 13 - 20 knots , main armament usually of two 100 mm guns , two 138 mm guns or four 100 mm guns . In English they are often referred to as sloop s . Colonial avisos , such as the intended for overseas service , were larger . The Portuguese Navy built avisos to operate in the Portuguese Empire . The Portuguese built 1st Rate avisos ( " Afonso de Albuquerque " class ) of 2 , 400 tons and 2nd Rate avisos ( and " Pedro Nunes " classes ) of 1 , 200 to 1 , 700 tons . In 1932 the Portuguese s were also classified as 2nd Rate avisos . Modern avisos have grown to become combat - capable ships , smaller than a corvette but larger than patrol ship s . They typically have roles in anti - submarine warfare and coastal defence . In NATO classification they are usually recognized as corvettes .
Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad ( ) was an early Muslim general and governor for the Umayyad Caliphate . Biography . He was the son of Ziyad ibn Abi Sufyan .

In 674 he would cross the Amu Darya and defeat the forces of the ruler of Bukhara what would become the first known invasion of the city by Muslim Arabs . In 680 , Yazid ordered Ubayd Allah to keep order in Kufa as a reaction to grandson of Prophet , Husayn ibn Ali ' s popularity there . Ubayd Allah appointed his brother Uthman as deputy and marched to Kufa . Ubayd Allah executed Hussain ibn Ali ’ s cousin Muslim ibn Aqeel and put out the right eye of Hussain ibn Ali ’ s supporter Al - Mukhtar . He was also one of the leaders of the army of Yazid I during the battle of Karbala . Yazid left a vacuum in Iraq upon his death in 683 . Ubayd Allah abdicated the governor ' s mansion in Basra and took up shelter with Mas ' ud ibn Amr al - Azdi . The Azd were a Yemenite tribe who then supported the Umayyads against the rebellion of Abd Allah ibn al - Zubayr . But Basra ' s new governor Abd Allah ibn al - Harith sided with Ibn al - Zubayr , and had Mas ' ud killed the following spring ; some traditions add , probably accurately , that Ubayd Allah and Mas ' ud had complained about Ibn al - Harith ' s corruption ( again , probably accurately - but the Basrans did not then care ) with a view to regaining for Ubayd Allah his command . Ubayd Allah fled the city for Syria - leaving his wife and family behind . ( Madelung pp . 301 – 303 ) While Ubayd Allah was in Syria , he persuaded Marwan ibn al - Hakam not to recognise Ibn al - Zubayr . Meanwhile the messianic campaigner al - Mukhtar wrested Kufa from Ibn al - Zubayr in 685 . Seeing his chance , or so he thought , Ubayd Allah sent an army against al - Mukhtar . According to contemporary historian John bar Penkaye , al - Mukhtar sent an army of 13 , 000 lightly armed freedmen on foot under the command of Ibrahim ibn al - Ashtar . At the river al - Khazir Ibrahim met with Ubayd Allah , whose army had 40 , 000 soldiers . In the ensuing battle , Ubayd Allah ' s army was annihilated , and Ubayd Allah himself with most of his lieutenants fell . ( Brock pp . 65 – 6 )
