100 mm air defense gun KS - 19 100 mm air defense gun KS - 19 ( ) was a Soviet anti - aircraft gun . Following the end of the Second World War the Soviet Union introduced into service the 100 mm KS - 19 and 130 mm KS - 30 . The KS - 19 is a heavy towed anti aircraft gun that has largely disappeared from front line arsenals due to increased use of more effective surface - to - air missiles . Being a towed weapon an external form of mobility was required , usually an AT - S Medium or AT - T Heavy tracked artillery tractor . The 15 man crew were carried on the tractor along with ready use ammunition for the gun . Ammunition was loaded as a single round into the loading tray and a well trained crew could fire 15 rounds maximum per minute . Anti Aircraft ammunition includes high explosive , high explosive fragmentation and fragmentation types . The KS - 19 ' s onboard sights can be used to engage air targets ; however increased accuracy was achieved if used in conjunction with a fire control radar such as the SON 9 ( NATO Reporting name ' Fire Can ' ) and PUAZO - 6 / 19 director . As the KS - 19 is a heavy calibre Anti - Aircraft gun it also has some utility in the ground role especially against armored targets . As a result of this two armor piecing rounds were produced : the AP - T ( Armour Piercing - Tracer ) and APC - T ( Armour Piercing Capped - Tracer ) with the AP - T round reportedly able to penetrate 185 mm of armor at 1000 m . The KS - 19 was used in action by communist forces in both Korea and Vietnam . Recently Iran has built an upgraded automatic version of KS - 19 named Sa ' ir .

Ilya Wolston Ilya Wolston was an American citizen who enlisted the U . S . Army in World War II and served as a Russian interpreter . After the war , Wolston became a language teacher and professor . He was libeled in the book " KGB " , where it was stated that he was convicted of espionage ; he sued . His case went to the U . S . Supreme Court ( Wolston v . Readers Digest ) and they declared that Wolston was not a public figure and therefore his assertion of libel would stand . He died before the case could be retried in lower courts . While Wolston was also maligned in a book by Boris Morros , Morros ' credibility was seriously in doubt and he never provided any proof for many of his assertions . There have been other allegations against him that are factually untrue . While related to Russians who were , in fact , spies against the United States , there is no evidence that Wolston was ever complicit in any actions against the U . S . , and he remained a loyal citizen until his death . Careful scrutiny of FBI records will show that there was never any malfeasance uncovered regarding Wolston and that the only charge that was ever brought against him was Contempt of Court for not appearing at the trial of later convicted Soviet spy , Jack Soble . Wolston did not appear due to illness .

Antonio Beruti Antonio Luis Beruti ( 1772 – September 24 , 1841 ) was an Argentine revolutionary who participated in the May Revolution that started the Argentine War of Independence , and later fought in the Argentine civil wars . Born in Buenos Aires , Beruti was educated in Spain . After concluding his studies , he returned to Argentina and joined the nascent independence movement , which he helped to organize . Along with Domingo French , he led a group of revolutionaries known as " the Chisperos " , who played a pivotal role in the " Semana de Mayo " , the week beginning on May 18 , 1810 , which culminated in the May Revolution . Along with French , he distributed white and blue ribbons to the populace , so that patriots could distinguish themselves from royalists . In the " Cabildo Abierto " of May 22 , he voted for the deposition of the viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros and was the most fervent opposer to a " Junta " presided over by him . He was quoted as saying : " A Junta presided over by Cisneros is the same as Cisneros ' viceroyalty " . On May 25 , he confronted the members of the Cabildo to demand the abolition of the Viceroyalty and the election of a new junta . His demands were met , and that day the Cabildo elected Argentina ' s first independent executive , the Primera Junta , which was presided over by Cornelio Saavedra . A month later Beruti was named lieutenant colonel of the America Regiment , created by the Junta , and organized by himself and Domingo French . A supporter of Mariano Moreno , Beruti remained faithful to his ideals even after Moreno ' s death . For this reason , he began attending meetings at the Café de Marcos , a center of opposition to the Saavedrist faction . On the fifth and sixth of April , 1811 , the Saavedrists organized a coup against their opponents in the government . Miguel de Azcuénaga , Hipólito Vieytes , and Nicolás Rodriguez Peña were forced to resign and subsequently exiled from Buenos Aires . Beruti , along with French , Donado , Posadas , and most other active members of the Patriotic Society , was exiled to – among other places – Chile . Beruti then participated in the Chile campaign alongside General José de San Martín in early 1817 , and fought in the Battle of Chacabuco . His wife , Doña Mercedes Ortíz , was one of the ladies who , the previous year , along with Doña Remedios de Escalada de San Martín , had donated their jewels for the liberation campaign . On March 13 , 1817 , Bernardo O ' Higgins , at the request of San Martín , asked Beruti to return to the city of Mendoza and arranged his passport with governor Luzuriaga . He was able to return to Buenos Aires on November 17 . He later became a member of the Unitarian Party and participated in the civil war against the Federalists . Beruti died on September 24 , 1841 in the Battle of Rodeo del Medio , where he had fought under the command of Gregorio Aráoz de Lamadrid . He was buried in an unmarked grave and his remains have never been identified .
