Battle of Sa ' dah The Battle of Sa ' dah was a battle fought in March 2011 between al - Houthi insurgents and forces loyal to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh in the Northern town of Sa ' dah . In February 2011 , after the success of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution and Tunisian Revolution , the Arab Spring spread to many countries including Yemen . Houthis declared their support for the 2011 Yemeni uprising against Saleh and large crowds of Houthi followers joined the protests on their 10th day . During February and March , thousands of protesters held weekly marches in Sa ' dah city from the gates of the old city to the security barracks of Saleh ' s army . Houthis fighters stormed the town on March 19 , allegedly blowing up houses and inflicting heavy civilian casualties . This led to a heavy conflict with the al - Abdin tribes , led by pro - government Sheikh Uthman Mujalli , in which 45 people were killed and 13 houses were destroyed . Houthis then attacked the Telmus military site , overlooking the city and captured numerous machine guns , mortar shells , guns and tanks . Houthis prevailed in the fighting and burned down Sheikh Mujalli ' s house , destroying all his possessions and seizing sixteen cars . Sa ' dah governor Taha Hajer then fled the province to Sana ' a and police deserted their posts , after which all the leaders of the Sa ' dah army headquarters handed over their military equipment and bases to the Houthi group . By March 27 they were said to be fully in control of the town , running all the government facilities and control checkpoints and controlling all entrances to the city . On Saturday March 26 , Houthi field commander Abu Ali appointed Fares Mana ' a , one of the Middle East ' s most prominent arms dealers and former ally to Saleh , as governor of Sa ' dah . Mana ' a broke with Saleh after he had been imprisoned by him for months in Sana ' a and he resigned from the ruling GPC party to join forces with the Houthis along with several other prominent Sa ' dah politicians . Houthis hereby declared a separate administration fully independent from the Government of Yemen , consisting of rebels , residents and defected military commanders . The Houthi takeover of Sa ' dah resulted in over one and half year of relative peace and stability in the governorate .
Siege of Bartenstein Siege of Bartenstein was a medieval siege laid upon the castle of Bartenstein ( now Bartoszyce in Poland ) by the Prussians during the Great Prussian Uprising . Bartenstein and Rößel were the two major Teutonic strongholds in Barta , one of the Prussian lands . The castle endured years of siege until 1264 and was one of the last ones to fall into the hands of Prussians . The garrison in Bartenstein numbered 400 against 1 , 300 Bartians who lived in three forts surrounding the city . Such tactics was very common in Prussia : build your own forts so that any communication with the outside world would be cut off . However , at Bartenstein the forts were far enough to allow the castle to send out men on raids of the surrounding area . Local noble Miligedo , who showed the Knights secret ways in the area , was killed by the Prussians . The Knights managed to burn down all three forts when Bartians were celebrating a religious holiday . However , they soon returned and rebuilt the forts . Bartenstein was running out of supplies and no help was coming from the headquarters of the Teutonic Knights . They had already eaten their horses , so the only way to escape was on foot . Therefore they decided to trick the Prussians in order to gain lead . The Knights remained silent inside the castle and did not ring the bell for church service . Such silence tricked the Bartians to believe that the soldiers had fled and they came to examine the castle . Once they were close enough the Knights attacked them with arrows and stones . This was repeated three times , and when the Knights actually fled , they left one old blind man behind to ring the church bell . This allowed them to gain several days and safely reach Königsberg and Elbing . Other castles at Wistotempil , Schippenbeil , and Kreuzburg felt sometime in 1263 . The castles presented a definite threat to the Bartians and Warmians , who had to keep their armies at home and could not participate in wider uprising .

In , the British Air Ministry laid down specifications for a high altitude bomber to replace the Hawker Horsley and for a coastal torpedo bomber ( Specifications 23 / 25 and 24 / 25 ) . As these specifications were similar , the Air Ministry announced that a single competition would be held to study aircraft submitted for both specifications . Sydney Camm of Hawker Aircraft designed the Harrier to meet the requirements of Specification 23 / 25 , with the prototype ( " J8325 " ) first flying in February , the first of the competitors to the two specifications to fly . The Harrier was a two seat biplane with single bay wings powered by a geared Bristol Jupiter VIII radial engine . It was armed with one . 303 in ( 7 . 7 mm ) Vickers machine gun and one . 303 in ( 7 . 7 mm ) Lewis gun carrying a maximum of 1 , 000 lb ( 454 kg ) of bombs . The prototype Harrier was tested at the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment ( A & AEE ) at Martlesham Heath in November 1927 , where , while it met the requirements of Specification 23 / 25 and had satisfactory handling , the geared engine meant that it was underpowered , and it had an inferior bombload to the Hawker Horsley , the aircraft it was meant to replace . It was therefore modified to carry a torpedo . On testing the modified aircraft , however , it was found to still be underpowered , being incapable of taking off with torpedo , gunner and a full fuel load . It was therefore not considered further , the competition ultimately being won by the Vickers Vildebeest . The prototype was used by Bristol as an engine testbed , flying with the 870 hp ( 649 kW ) Bristol Hydra and the Bristol Orion engines .
