Smyrniote crusades The Smyrniote crusades ( 1343 – 1351 ) were two Crusades sent by Pope Clement VI against the Emirate of Aydin under Umur Beg which had as their principal target the coastal city of Smyrna in Asia Minor . The first Smyrniote crusade was the brainchild of Clement VI . The threat of Turkish piracy in the Aegean Sea had induced Clement ' s predecessors , John XXII and Benedict XII , to maintain a fleet of four galley s there to defend Christian shipping , but starting in the 1340s Clement endeavoured with Venetian aid to expand this effort into a full military expedition . He commissioned Henry of Asti , the Catholic patriarch of Constantinople , to organise a league against the Turks , who had increased their piracy in the Aegean in recent years . Hugh IV of Cyprus and the Order of the Hospital joined and , on 2 November 1342 , the Pope sent letters to engage the men and ships of Venice . The Papal bull granting the Crusade indulgence and authorising its preaching throughout Europe , " Insurgentibus contra fidem " , was published on 30 September . The first Smyrniote crusade began with a string of naval victories and ended with a successful assault on Smyrna , capturing the harbour and the citadel but not the acropolis , on 28 October 1344 . The precarious situation of the Crusaders in Asia spurred the Pope to organise a second expedition in 1345 . In November , under the command of Humbert II of Viennois , the second Smyrniote crusade set out from Venice . In February 1346 it won a victory over the Turks at Mytilene , but Humbert did little more at Smyrna than sortie against the Turks and refortify the Christian section of the city . The next five years were occupied by Clement VI with attempts to negotiate a truce with the Turks , who kept Smyrna in a constant state of siege by land , and direct financial and military aid to the city . Although his concern with the Crusade ended abruptly in September 1351 , the city of Smyrna remained in Christian hands until 1402 .

The initial version carried film cameras , but later versions carried a TV or radiation detection payload , with data relayed to a ground station over a datalink . Some 950 units were produced in the 1970s and 1980s . The Tu - 143 was used by Syria in reconnaissance missions over Israel and Lebanon during the 1982 Lebanon War , as well as by Soviet forces in Afghanistan during the Soviet war in Afghanistan . M - 143 variant . A target drone version , the M - 143 , was introduced in the mid - 1980s . Tu - 243 variant . The Tu - 143 was followed into service in the late 1980s by the similar but improved " Tu - 243 Reys - D " , with a 25 cm ( 10 inch ) fuselage stretch , to provide greater fuel capacity and about twice the range ; an uprated TR3 - 117 engine with 6 . 28 kN ( 640 kgf , 1 , 410 lbf ) thrust ; and improved low - altitude guidance . Tu - 300 variant . Since 1995 , Tupolev began promoting the further refined " Tu - 300 Korshun " , which resembles its predecessors but is fitted with a nose antenna dome and nose fairings for modern sensors and electronic systems . It also features a centerline pylon for a sensor pod or munitions . Financial issues forced a halt to development at the end of the 1990s , but work was resumed in 2007 . Specifications .
