Head - on engagement A Head - on engagement is one where a surface - to - air missile system or jet aircraft engages another aircraft while the target aircraft is flying towards the attacker . This makes engagement with infra - red homing missiles more difficult because the hot engine exhaust nozzle ( s ) of the target are pointing away from the attacker . Typically only all - aspect infra - red homing missile s are able to perform head - on engagements . Radar - guided missiles are typically able , however head - on many aircraft have a much smaller radar cross - section so the radar may not be able to track / lock onto the target at maximum range in this type of engagement . Missiles typically have a lower chance of hitting a target in a head - on engagement because of the very fast closure rate . If the missile is travelling at Mach 2 . 5 and the aircraft at Mach 1 , the combined rate of Mach 3 . 5 doesn ' t give the missile very much time to respond to violent evasive maneuvers the aircraft might perform or to recover from being fooled by countermeasures , etc . In addition , the aircraft can turn away from the missile and then toward it again just before impact , forcing the missile to turn in a much tighter circle than the aircraft needs to in order to follow it through this maneuver . Although missiles can turn faster than aircraft , this advantage is often enough to cause the missile to fly past the aircraft without coming within lethal range . It has the advantage , however , of greatly increasing the effective range at which missiles or cannon s can be used . Many missiles have an effective range in a head - on engagement on the order of three or four times of that in a tail - chase engagement . The target aircraft effectively flies right into the weapon ( s ) fired at it .
Albatros L 65 The Albatros L 65 was a German two - seat reconnaissance fighter biplane first flown in 1925 . Design and development . Under the Treaty of Versailles , military aircraft production was restricted in Germany , so Albatros Flugzeugwerke established a subsidiary to build the L 65 in Lithuania .

The L 65 had a single - bay , staggered biplane configuration and was constructed of wood with a plywood skin . The wings were braced by interplane I - struts of broad aerofoil cross - section . Two prototypes were built , the first powered by a 340 kW ( 450 hp ) water - cooled 12 - cylinder " broad - arrow " Napier Lion engine ; the second had its first flight in 1926 and had a 421 kW ( 565 hp ) version of the Lion . The second prototype underwent evaluation by the " Reichswehr " to equip the clandestine training school at Lipetsk , but the Heinkel HE 17 was selected instead and no further aircraft were produced .

After Napoleon ' s victory at Austerlitz , the British expedition ' s position became untenable . The whole force including all participating and newly recruited KGL units re - embarked for England in February 1806 . The 5th line battalion KGL was initially brigaded with the 6th Line Battalion of the Legion .

On 18 June 1815 , during the Battle of Waterloo , the battalion was nearly wiped out during the fighting in the center of Wellington ' s battle line , in the wake of the so - called ` crisis´ . Around 6 o ' clock the Prince of Orange told Sir Charles Alten , the KGL ' s divisional commander , to send forward the 5th line battalion to attack the French infantry , who were pursuing the men from the 2nd light battalion KGL retreating from La Haye Sainte . Col . von Ompteda , the 5th battalions commander had noticed French cavalry nearby and protested the order to Alten , but he was told to obey his general by the Prince of Orange , who had overheard the exchange . Von Ompteda mounted his horse , ordered the 5th into line ( they had been formed in square to fight cavalry ) and , at their head , advanced on the French infantry . The enemy infantry ran , but riding out of the mists of smoke came a regiment of cuirassiers . They charged into the flank and rear of the 5th line who , with their muskets unloaded , were cut to pieces . Von Ompteda was among those killed , a colour of the battalion was lost and only 19 men escaped back to the allied line . Notable for his actions during the battle was the battalion ' s surgeon Georg Hartog Gerson . His coatee survived and is on display in Hamburg , Germany , in the " Museum für Hamburger Geschichte " .

When Governor Van Hogenheim sent military assistance to the region , the rebellion had reached the Berbice River and was moving steadily towards the Berbice capital , Fort Nassau . They took gunpowder and guns from the attacked plantations . By 3 March the rebels were 500 in number . Led by Cosala , they tried to take the brick house of Peerboom .
