Radioplane RP - 77 The Radioplane RP - 77 was a small target drone missile , constructed largely of plastic materials , produced by the Radioplane division of the Northrop Corporation . Although the RP - 77D was successfully tested by the United States Army , the decision was made not to procure the aircraft . Design and development . The development of the RP - 77 began in 1955 . Similar in outline to Radioplane ' s earlier OQ - 19 , four prototypes of the RP - 77 were constructed , two each of the RP - 77 , powered by a four - cylinder McCulloch piston engine , and of the RP - 77A , powered by a six - cylinder Lycoming engine . Results of flight - testing were insufficient to interest the U . S . Army , however in 1957 a proposal for an improved RP - 77D , powered by a Boeing 502 turboprop , resulted in a contract for the construction of 20 aircraft . The design of the RP - 77D made extensive use of glass - polyester plastic materials . The drone was launched using a rocket - assisted take - off system consisting of four Loki rockets , and was fitted with a radio control apparatus that , with the assistance of radar tracking , allowed the drone to be operated at a considerable distance from its launching point . In addition to equipment typically carried by target drones , the RP - 77D could be equipped with reconnaissance or meteorological sensors , or with air sampling equipment . The RP - 77D utilised the RPTA tracking system , developed by Radioplane , using audio frequency tones for control . Tip tanks allowed for carriage of additional fuel to extend the aircraft ' s range , and recovery at the end of the flight was by parachute . An improved version of the RP - 77D was projected , with provision for launching RP - 76 target missiles . Operational history . Following its maiden flight in March 1958 , evaluation of the RP - 77D by the U . S . Army took place throughout the remainder of that year , nearly 40 test flights being conducted . Although the test results were generally satisfactory , it was determined that the performance of the aircraft was an insufficient improvement over existing types in service to have the aircraft ordered into production , and the project was cancelled , along with the improved RP - 86 , a dedicated reconnaissance variant . Following the termination of the Army ' s evaluation , Radioplane , as a private venture , conducted an improvement program for the RP - 77D , fitting the aircraft with a larger wing , along with other modifications that improved the performance of the drone . However these improvements were insufficient to produce a renewed interest from the Army .

The 6th Division , meeting little opposition and traveling fast up the Chongchon River valley , reached Huichon , nearly sixteen miles north of Kujang - dong , on the night of October 23 , 1950 . Passing through Onjong , twenty - six miles from Huich ' on , during the night of the twenty - fourth , the 7th Regiment , 6th Division , turned north and advanced toward Chosan , fifty miles away on the Yalu River . A reinforced reconnaissance platoon from the 7th Regiment entered Chosan the next morning and found the North Koreans retreating across the Yalu into China over a narrow floating footbridge . On October 25 , in the ROK II Corps sector , the 3d Battalion , 2d Regiment , 6th Division , started northwest from Onjong , about fifty miles from the Yalu , toward Pukchin . Eight miles west of Onjong the 3d Battalion encountered what was thought to be a small force of North Koreans but was , in reality , a Communist Chinese forces ( CCF ) trap , in which CCF troops destroyed the 3d Battalion as an organized force . On the evening of the next day the division ordered its 7th Regiment to withdraw south . Before it could do so , however , it needed supplies , which were airdropped on the twenty - eighth . As the 7th Regiment headed south the following morning , it ran into an enemy roadblock about twenty miles south of Kojang . After the Chinese intervention and attacks in November 1950 , the U . S . 2nd Infantry Division , the Turkish Brigade , and the ROK 6th , 7th , and 8th Infantry Divisions were shattered units that would need extensive rest and refitting to recover combat effectiveness .

Kut Al Hayy AB was a primary air base for the Iraqui Air Force . At each end of the main 9 , 800 ' runway are a dozen hardened aircraft shelters knowns as " Trapezoids " or " Yugos " which were built by Yugoslavian contractors some time prior to 1985 with multiple runways and taxiways , patterned after their Russian counterparts . The base was heavily attacked by Coalition airpower during Operation Desert Storm in January 1991 . It was abandoned by the Iraqui Air Force after the cease fire in late February . In March 2003 the base was again sized by the United States Marine Corps during Operation Iraqi Freedom . The Marines established " Camp Chesty " at the abandoned base . With a support - base airfield , Camp Chesty was the largest supply depot in the northern most section of central Iraq and supplied all front line troops . The Marines ' home to the 7 , 000 Camp Lejeune , N . C . - based Marines of Task Force Tarawa , the Camp was divided from other areas of the camp by 10 - foot high sand berms , which keep them nearly cut off from different battalions , platoons and companies . As of May 2004 elements of United States Army 1st Armored Division were operating at FOB Delta near al - Kut . Home to the Center South Academy where Coalition forces are training Iraqi soldiers and police . As of April , 2004 Romanian forces , including Romanian intelligence units , were stationed at Camp Delta . Romanian intelligence units have deployed on site advanced imagery capabilities . Delta is home to human and signals intelligence units and a system of unmanned aerial surveillance vehicles ( “ UAVs ” ) which have flown over one hundred reconnaissance missions as of April , 2004 . These integrated unit assets are providing timely , actionable intelligence to coalition forces . Soldiers stationed at Camp Delta are able to enjoy hot showers and hot meals . Sometime after 2006 , the facility was turned over to civil engineers who rendered the airfield unserviceable . Large numbers of craters in the runways and taxiways are visible in aerial imagery and numerous areas of concrete have been removed ; leaving the airfield useless for any type of aircraft operation . Today the support base appears abandoned , as well as the concrete runway and series of taxiways remain exposed and deteriorating to the elements , being reclaimed by the desert .
