Abd al - Aziz ibn Marwan ʿAbd al - ʿAzīz ibn Marwān ( ; died 705 ) was a member of the Umayyad dynasty , the son of Caliph Marwan I ( reign ed 684 – 685 ) and father of Caliph Umar II ( r . 717 – 720 ) . His wife Umm Asim Layla bint Asim was the grand daughter of the second Caliph Umar ibn al - Khattab . Life . Abd al - Aziz is most notable for his twenty - year - long tenure as governor ( " wali " ) of Egypt , from AH 65 ( 685 CE ) to his death in AH 86 ( 705 CE ) . He was placed in the post by Marwan I immediately after the Umayyads regained control of the province during the civil war against Ibn al - Zubayr , and held it until his death . He enjoyed wide autonomy in the governance of Egypt , and functioned as a " de facto " viceroy of the country . He proved himself a capable governor , and his rule was a period of peace and prosperity , marked by his conciliatory and co - operative attitude towards the leaders of the local Arab settlers ( the " jund " ) : throughout his tenure , Abd al - Aziz relied on them rather than the Syrians , who elsewhere were the main pillar of the Umayyad regime . He resided chiefly at Fustat , leaving it only for two visits to the caliphal court at Damascus and four more to Alexandria , although when the struck Fustat in 690 , he moved the seat of his government to the nearby town of Hulwan . Abd al - Aziz also supervised the completion of the Muslim conquest of North Africa ; it was he who appointed Musa ibn Nusayr in his post as governor of Ifriqiya . Marwan I had named Abd al - Aziz his second heir after his elder brother Abd al - Malik ( r . 685 – 705 ) . Abd al - Malik , however , wanted his son al - Walid I ( r . 705 – 715 ) to succeed him , and Abd al - Aziz was persuaded not to object to this change . In the event , Abd al - Aziz died shortly before Abd al - Malik . Abd al - Aziz was also hoping that his own eldest son , al - Asbagh — for whom he also nurtured hopes in the caliphal succession — would succeed him as governor of Egypt , making the province into a hereditary appanage for his family , but his son died a few months before Abd al - Aziz himself . He was succeeded by Abd al - Malik ' s son Abdallah , whose aim was to restore caliphal control over the province and , in the words of Hugh N . Kennedy , " remove all traces of Abd al - Aziz ' s administration " . Abd al - Aziz ' s descendants , however , remained influential in Egyptian affairs until the early Abbasid period .

3M11 Falanga The AT - 2 " Swatter " is the NATO reporting name for the 3M11 " Fleyta " ( flute ) MCLOS radio command Anti - tank missile of the Soviet Union . Development . The missile was developed by the Nudelman OKB - 16 design bureau . It was developed as a heavy ATGM at about the same time as the AT - 1 Snapper for use on both ground launchers and helicopters . It addressed some of the problems of the AT - 1 , it was much faster , and had slightly longer range . These improvements were achieved by sending commands via radio link instead of a trailing guidance wire - which allowed the missile to travel faster . However it did make it vulnerable to jamming . The missile system was shown to Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in September 1964 , and accepted for service shortly afterward . History . The AT - 2 was the first Soviet ATGM to be deployed from helicopters . Small numbers where fitted to the Mi - 4 AV . The missile was deployed on the Mi - 8 Hip as well as the Mi - 24 , and Mi - 25 ` Hind ' series of helicopters . It was also deployed on the BRDM - 1 and BRDM - 2 infantry fighting vehicles . The original AT - 2A ( 3M11 " Falanga " ) missile was problematic - one Russian source describes the missile as " notable for its complexity and low reliability " . Also the missile ' s range was felt to be inadequate . An improved version of the missile was developed : the AT - 2B ( 9M17 " Skorpion " ) . Externally the missiles are very similar - however the AT - 2B range is increased to 3 . 5 km . The standard production version was the 9M17M " Skorpion - M " It entered service in 1968 . The next development took was to integrate SACLOS guidance - the result was the AT - 2 " Swatter - C " or 9M17P " Skorpion - P " . It entered service in 1969 . A product improved version the 9M17MP was developed , with an improved engine and signal lamp . The missile has been used extensively in the following wars on the Mi - 24 platform . It has been replaced in Soviet service by the AT - 6 Spiral ATGM .
