T - 122 Sakarya The T - 122 Sakarya is a Turkish multiple launch rocket system developed by Roketsan . Overview . As part of the modernization drive undertaken by the Turkish Military in the 1980s and 90 ' s several new rocket systems were developed for the needs of the Turkish army . Prototypes of the system were revealed in 1995 with the first vehicles undertaking trials and evaluation in 1996 . Production commenced in 1997 . The system consists of two pods of 122 - mm launch tubes which are hydraulically traversed and elevated . It is equipped with a state - of - the - art fire control system which calculates firing data automatically for rockets with different warheads and is capable of storing up to 20 target coordinates . The vehicle can fire rockets singly or in salvo , with a full forty rocket launch taking less than 80 seconds and blanketing a target area of 500 m × 500 m . In addition the later versions of the T - 122 features an integral hydraulic crane which allows reloading of rockets pods within five minutes . The rockets for the system were developed and manufactured by MKEK and Roketsan , though the T - 122 can fire 122mm rockets from the BM - 21 and associated systems . Indigenous rockets are available with HE - FRAG or cluster warheads which can contain either anti - personnel or anti - tank submunitions . Maximum range of fire with extended - range rockets is up to 40 km . Variants . First production models of the T - 122 Sakarya launcher vehicle were based on the German MAN 26 . 281 heavy utility truck . An improved variant of the system was revealed in 2005 which is based on the MAN 26 . 372 truck which is also used as the launcher vehicle for the J - 600T Yıldırım short - range ballistic missile . The improved system is fitted to use factory - sealed disposable rocket pods that are specifically designed to be maintenance free , resistant to handling and environmental conditions and allow rapid reloading . The updated system can also be fitted with armour and an NBC system .
Military of Åland The Åland Islands are demilitarised . This means that there may be no military presence and that the Islands may not be fortified . The Åland Islands are also neutralised , and must therefore be kept outside of war in case of a conflict . History . When Åland was incorporated into the Russian Empire in 1809 the Islands ’ new rulers initiated the construction of a large fortress at Bomarsund on the eastern side of the main island . During the Crimean War French and British troops attacked and seized the fortress , and at the ensuing peace negotiations held in Paris in 1856 Åland was demilitarised through a one - sided commitment from Russia . When the League of Nations resolved the issue of Åland ’ s constitutional affiliation in 1921 a decision was also taken to draw up an international convention . The convention , which confirmed the demilitarisation of 1856 and also neutralised Åland , was signed by ten states . Russia is not a party to the 1921 convention , but the 1940 Moscow Treaty on the Åland Islands and the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty contain provisions on the demilitarisation of Åland . Neutralisation is not mentioned , however . Those who have right of domicile and moved to Åland before the age 12 are exempt from military service .

SCR - 299 The SCR - 299 was a U . S . Signal Corps mobile military communications unit used during World War II . History . The SCR - 299 " mobile communications unit " was developed to provide long - range communications during World War II . The US Military sought improvements of range , flexibility and durability over its existing SCR - 197 and SCR - 597 transmitters . In 1942 , Hallicrafters Standard HT - 4 was selected as the SCR - 299 ' s transmitter , known subsequently by its military designation as the BC - 610 . The SCR - 299 was first used on November 8 , 1942 during Operation TORCH involving companies of the 829th Signal Service Battalion establishing a radio net that could exchange messages between beach - landed forces and bases in Gibraltar . Despite initial problems unloading the sets from convoy ships , the SCR - 299s served until the installation of permanent Army Command and Administrative Network stations . According to US Army military historians , " General Dwight Eisenhower credited the SCR - 299 in his successful reorganization of the American forces and final defeat of the Nazi s at Kasserine Pass . " The range of the SCR - 299 exceeded original specifications , sometime establishing contact over . The SCR - 299 provided reliable communications with England during the North African campaign , and in Normandy on D - Day , served as a connection between two airborne divisions with Britain . The SCR - 299 was also used in the invasion of Sicily and the Allied invasion of Italy . War correspondents and press reporters frequently made use of the SCR - 299 and SCR - 399 . Access to the sets was provided to them by US Second Army and US Third Army Group Communications Teams , and in one instance , the SCR - 399 became the only means of getting press copy direct to London . In 1944 , a short subject film was produced by the Jam Handy Organization and sponsored by the Hallicrafters Company that showed the construction of the SCR - 299 and dramatized its use during World War II . Hallicrafters Company advertising of the period sometimes used illustrations of the shelter - mounted SCR - 399 to describe the achievements of the SCR - 299 . voice of victory

C . § 2011 et seq . , is a United States federal law that is , according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission , " the fundamental U .

Alcidas Alcidas was a Spartan admiral who was first appointed to lead 40 allied ships in the Spartan expedition to Mytilene in 427 BC . This was part of a double movement meant to hinder the Athenians from sending help to Lesbos , the other part being an allied invasion of Attica . However , the rebellion of Mytilene was crushed before his force could arrive , largely due to the leisurely pace with which Alcidas led the fleet , and he was forced to put into Embatum in the Erythraeid seven days after the town capitulated . Alcidas was then urged by Teutiaplus , an Elean , to attack Mytilene anyway , as the Athenians would most assuredly be taken by surprise , but Alcidas acted with typical Spartan hesitance and refused . Trying another approach , some Ionian exiles advised him to capture a town in Ionia and use it as " a base for effecting the revolt of Ionia . " Thucydides tells us this idea had merit , as the Spartans were " welcome everywhere " , and the loss of Ionia would be a serious blow to Athenian resources . However , Alcidas refused this offer as well , as he " was eager to find himself back in Peloponnese as soon as possible " . After these events Alcidas led his fleet to Cyllene and found that Brasidas had been sent to him in the capacity of " counsellor " , showing the Spartan disproval of his results at Lesbos . The Spartans then resolved to strengthen the fleet and send it to Corcyra where " a revolution had broken out " and to arrive speedily before the Athenians could send succor . Brasidas and Alcidas prepared accordingly , and together they defeated a fleet of Corcyrean ships , then fled when word reached them that 60 Athenian ships from Leucas under the command of Eurymedon had been dispatched to intercept them . Later , Alcidas was one of the three Spartans sent to found the colony of Heraclea in Trachis in 426 BC . Heraclea was " distant about four miles and a half from Thermopylae , and two miles and a quarter from the sea . " Thucydides tells us the Spartans wished to found this colony " because it would lie conveniently for the purposes of the war against the Athenians . A fleet might be got ready there against Euboea . . . and the town would also be useful as a station on the road to Thrace . "
