As his company was advancing toward the village under heavy fire , an enemy machinegun and automatic rifle with rifle support opened upon it from a hill on the right flank . Seeing that his platoon leader had been wounded by their fire , S / Sgt . Crews , acting on his own initiative , rushed the strongpoint with 2 men of his platoon . Despite the fact that 1 of these men was killed and the other was badly wounded , he continued his advance up the hill in the face of terrific enemy fire . Storming the well - dug - in position single - handedly , he killed 2 of the crew of the machinegun at pointblank range with his M 1 rifle and wrested the gun from the hands of the German whom he had already wounded . He then with his rifle charged the strongly emplaced automatic rifle . Although badly wounded in the thigh by crossfire from the remaining enemy , he kept on and silenced the entire position with his accurate and deadly rifle fire . His actions so unnerved the remaining enemy soldiers that 7 of them surrendered and the others fled . His heroism caused the enemy to concentrate on him and permitted the company to move forward into the village .

AN / TPQ - 36 Firefinder radar Hughes AN / TPQ - 36 Firefinder Weapon Locating System is a mobile radar system developed by Hughes Aircraft Company and manufactured by Northrop Grumman and ThalesRaytheonSystems . The system is a " weapon - locating radar " , designed to detect and track incoming artillery and rocket fire to determine the point of origin for counterbattery fire . It is currently in service at brigade and higher levels in the United States Army , United States Marine Corps and Australian Army . The radar is typically trailer mounted and towed by a Humvee . Upgrades . Firefinder ( V ) 8 extends system performance , improves operator survivability and lowers life cycle cost . Greater processing power and the addition of a low noise amplifier to the radar antenna improves detection range ( by up to 50 % ) and performance accuracy against certain threats . Operations / Maintainers . The AN / TPQ - 36 is an electronically steered radar , meaning the radar antenna does not actually move while in operation . The radar antenna may however be moved manually if required . The system may also be operated in a friendly fire mode to determine the accuracy of counterbattery return fire , or for conducting radar registration or mean point of impact calibrations for friendly artillery . Capabilities Specifications Artillery : 18 km Rockets : 24 km Features Manufacturers . Northrop Grumman manufactures the AN / TPQ - 36 ( V ) 8 Firefinder radar . Before acquisition by Raytheon , the Hughes Aircraft Co . developed the AN / TPQ - 36 Firefinder radar at its Fullerton , California facility , and manufactures it at its Forest , Mississippi plant . Nomenclature . Per the Joint Electronics Type Designation System ( JETDS ) , the nomenclature AN / TPQ - 36 is thus derived :

Yakovlev Yak - 17 The Yakovlev Yak - 17 ( Russian : Як - 17 NATO reporting name " Feather " , was an early Soviet jet fighter . It was developed from the Yak - 15 , the main difference being tricycle landing gear . The trainer version , known as the Yak - 17UTI , was the Soviet ' s most numerous and important early jet trainer . Design and development . Following testing of the Yak - 15U , Yakolev ordered a major redesign , incorporating a nosewheel , while putting aside commonality with the Yak - 3 . In addition , the main gear had to be redesigned to place the wheels behind the aircraft ' s center of gravity . The main gear were moved behind the front spar , and when retracted they filled most of the space between the spars . This caused a major redesign of the fuel tanks and reduced their capacity to just 680 liters ( 150 gallons ) . This necessitated the addition of two 200 liter ( 44 gallon ) jettisonable tanks , which hung under the tip of each wing . The addition of the tip tanks required a redesign of the structure of the wing so that the aircraft could still maintain a load bearing of 12g . The vertical stabilizer was enlarged and a periscope was also added above the windscreen on most series aircraft . Armament , systems , and equipment were virtually unchanged . Operational history . Yak - 17 was first publicly displayed at the Soviet Aviation Day of 1949 , at Tushino . In operation , the Yak - 17 had most of the same faults as its predecessor , including relatively low speed and range , and an unreliable engine ( still based upon the German Junkers Jumo 004 ) with a complicated starting procedure . On the other hand , its handling was very simple , and similar to popular propeller fighters such as the Yak - 3 and Yak - 9 . This made it an excellent transitional machine to jet fighters . As a result , the trainer version Yak - 17UTI accounted for the majority of production , and almost all series - built Yak - 17s were of this tandem , dual - control trainer version , which filled an important need in all Soviet air arms . Surviving Yak - 17 can be viewed at the Central Air Force Museum at Monino . outside of Moscow and the Prague Aviation Museum at Kbely Airport , near Prague , Czech Republic . Surviving Yak - 17UTI include one example at the Polish Aviation Museum near Krakow and the Chinese Aviation Museum , near Beijing . Yak - 17UTI . The most produced variant of the Yak - 17 , the Yak - 17UTI ( NATO reporting name " Magnet " ) was a tandem - seat , dual - control trainer . Fuel capacity was greatly reduced , owing to the elimination of the wing tip tanks . Initially it was planned to include a single UBS machine gun , but this was omitted on series produced aircraft . In the U . S . , this aircraft was known as the " Type 26 " , and given the ASCC reporting name " Magnet " . Production began in 1948 . Total production of all Yak - 15 and Yak - 17 variants was 717 , with the Yak - 17UTI the most numerous of all variants of this early Soviet jet .

Amlaíb mac Sitriuc Amlaíb mac Sitriuc ( " Amhlaeibh , son of Sitric " ) or Olaf Sigtryggsson was the son of the Hiberno - Norse King of Dublin , Sigtrygg Silkbeard , a member of the Uí Ímair dynasty . His ancestors included Brian Boru , Olaf Cuaran , and Gormflaith , who were influential in medieval Ireland . He was ransomed by the Gaelic lord of Brega and later killed in England by Anglo - Saxons while on his way on pilgrimage to Rome in 1034 . Some of his descendants later became the Kings of Gwynedd in Wales . Life . Family . Amlaíb was the son of the ruling King of Dublin , Sigtrygg Silkbeard ( d . 1042 ) , and his wife Sláine , daughter of the King of Munster and High King of Ireland , Brian Boru ( d . 1014 ) , and his first wife . His paternal grandfather was Olaf Cuarán ( d . 981 ) , the powerful King of York and of Dublin . Olaf ' s wife was Gormflaith ( d . 1030 ) , a " beautiful , powerful and intriguing Irish woman " who later married Boru at the same time Sigtrygg married Sláine . Amlaíb had four half - brothers : Artalach ( d . 999 ) , Oleif ( d . 1013 ) , Godfrey ( d . 1036 ) , Glúniairn ( d . 1031 ) . Oleif was killed in immediate vengeance for the burning of the Norse city of Cork . Glúniairn was killed by the people of South Brega in 1031 . Godfrey was killed in Wales , possibly by a first cousin . Amlaíb was outlived by his half - sister Cellach , who died in 1042 in the same month as her father . Politics . In 1027 , after the death of Máel Sechlainn in 1022 and the chaos which accompanied the subsequent bids for the High Kingship by the Irish princes , Sigtrygg Silkbeard was forced to make a new alliance with the men of Brega . Amlaíb joined Donnchad of Brega in a raid on Staholmock , County Meath . The army of Sigtrygg and Donnchad was defeated by the men of Meath under their king , Roen Ua Mael Sechlainn . Sigtrygg rallied to the fight again , and fought a battle at Lickblaw where Donnchad and Roen were slain . In 1029 , Amlaíb was taken prisoner by the new lord of Brega , Mathghamhain Ua Riagain , who exacted a ransom of 1200 cows . Further conditions of the agreement necessitated payment of another 140 British horses , 60 ounces of gold and of silver , " the sword of Carlus " , the Irish hostages of Leinster and Leath Cuinn , " four hostages to Ua Riagain as a security for peace , and the full value of the life of the third hostage . " Added to the total , 80 cows " for word and supplication " were to be paid to the man who entreated for Olaf ' s release . The incident illustrates the importance of ransoming noble captives , as a means of political manipulation , increasing one ' s own revenues and exhausting the resources of one ' s foes . The demand of British horses also suggests that Dublin was one of the main ports for importing horses into 11th century Ireland , and that Amlaíb ' s family may have been personally involved in husbandry . According to the 17th century " Annals of the Four Masters " , Amlaíb mac Sitriuc " was slain by the Saxons " on his way on a pilgrimage to Rome in 1034 . He was survived by one Ragnhild , who was the mother of Gruffydd ap Cynan , from whom the Kings of Gwynedd were descended .
