Tupolev Tu - 123 The Tupolev Tu - 123 Yastreb ( Falcon , ) was one of the earliest Soviet reconnaissance drones that began development in 1960 . Sometimes referred to as the " DBR - 1 " , it was introduced into active service in 1964 . Design . The Tu - 123 was a long - range , high - altitude supersonic strategic reconnaissance unmanned aircraft , in the form of a big dart , conceptually somewhat similar to the United States ' D - 21 . It carried both film cameras and SIGINT payloads . The Tu - 123 was ground - launched with RATO booster and powered by a KR - 15 after - burning turbojet in flight . The KR - 15 was an expendable version of the R - 15 engine used on the twin - engine Mikoyan - Gurevich MiG - 25 Foxbat interceptor . The Tu - 123 itself was expendable , parachuting its payload to the ground for recovery . History . Development . The Tu - 123 was a development of the proposed Tupolev Tu - 121 supersonic nuclear - armed cruise missile program . After the cancellation of that project in favor of ballistic missile s , the design was modified for a high altitude reconnaissance role . The project was officially launched on 16 August 1960 , under the designation “ DBR - 1 ” with the Tuploev Design Bureau designation of “ I123K ” ( later changed to “ Tu - 123 ” ) . Factory testing was completed in September 1961 and flight tests by December 1963 . The new UAV was adopted into active duty service on 23 May 1964 . Mass production was assigned to the Voronezh Factory Number 64 , and from 1964 – 1972 a total of 52 units were manufactured . Operational history . The Tu - 123 served with Soviet Air Force intelligence units stationed in the western border military districts until 1979 . It had ( theoretically ) the range to cover all of central and western Europe , and performed well in training exercises . However , the expense of operating an expendable system was not satisfactory . This concern led to a project to develop the Tu - 139 Yastreb 2 , a reusable version which could land on unprepared airstrips , but it was never put into production . The Tu - 123 was gradually removed from service , and replaced by the MiG - 25R reconnaissance version of the Foxbat . References .

First War of Kappel The first war of Kappel ( " Erster Kappelerkrieg " ) was an armed conflict in 1529 between the Protestant and the Catholic cantons of the Old Swiss Confederacy during the reformation in Switzerland . It ended , without any battle having been fought , with the first peace of Kappel ( " Erster Landfriede " ) . Under the lead of Huldrych Zwingli , the Protestant canton and city of Zürich had concluded with other Protestant cantons a defence alliance , the " Christliches Burgrecht " , which also included the cities of Konstanz and Strasbourg . The Catholic cantons in response had formed an alliance with Ferdinand of Austria . Conflicts between the two sides arose also over the situation in the common territories , especially the Thurgau , where the administration changed bi - annually between cantons and which thus switched between Catholic and Protestant rules . Several mediation attempts failed , such as the disputation of Baden in 1526 . After numerous minor incidents and provocations from both sides , a Catholic priest was executed in the Thurgau in May 1528 , and the Protestant pastor J . Keyser was burned at the stake in Schwyz in 1529 . The last straw was the installation of a Catholic reeve at Baden , and Zürich declared war on 8 June , occupied the Thurgau and the territories of the Abbey of St . Gall and marched to Kappel at the border to Zug . By mediation the Federal " Tagsatzung " , open war was barely avoided . Legend has it that instead of fighting , the two armies peacefully shared a milk soup , known as the " Kappeler Milchsuppe " , cooked in a pot placed exactly on the cantonal border between Zürich and Zug , while a peace was negotiated . ( The Catholics provided the milk , the Protestants the bread . ) The peace agreement ( " Erster Landfriede " ) was not exactly favourable for the Catholic party , who had to dissolve its alliance with the Austrian Habsburgs . The tensions remained essentially unresolved , and would flare high again in the second war of Kappel two years later .

Bitchū Matsuyama Castle , also known as Takahashi Castle , is a castle located in Takahashi , Okayama Prefecture , Japan . It is not to be confused with Matsuyama Castle in Matsuyama , Ehime Prefecture . Along with being one of only twelve remaining original castles in the country , Bitchū Matsuyama Castle is notable as the castle with the highest elevation above sea level in Japan . History . The castle was originally built on a nearby mountain in 1240 AD by Akiba Shigenobu . Takahashi Muneyasu constructed a castle on the modern site on Mount Gagyū in 1331 , though the design of this castle differed from the one that stands on the site now . This fortification dates to 1683 , when Mizunoya Sakyonosuke Katsumune built the castle that is on the site now . The tenshu was unusual in that it was only two stories tall , though a larger " tenshu " along the lines of Himeji Castle ' s would have been unnecessary as Bitchu Matsuyama Castle was located on a mountain , thus allowing a large field of vision . The lord ' s palace was constructed at the base of the mountain . Itakura Katsuyoshi became lord in 1744 , and his descendants ruled the castle until the Meiji Restoration . After the Edo Era had ended , the castle was partly destroyed , but the rest of it was abandoned and slowly fell into disrepair . In 1929 , restoration work was begun on the castle . Three parts were saved and still stand today : a short section of wall , the Nijū " yagura " , and the " tenshu " . Today . In recent years , parts of the castle have been reconstructed to augment the parts that remain , all of which have been named Important Cultural Properties by the National Government . It is also a popular place to visit because it is the only " yamashiro " , or mountain castle , to have an original " tenshu " . The castle is on a mountain and the road up to the summit does not go all the way , so to get to the castle , one must hike up a mountain path .

Soviet Air Forces Order of Battle 1 May 1945 Following is the organization of the Voenno - Vozdushnye Sily on May 1st 1945 . Air defense forces ( PVO ) for state territory . A note regarding the use " Patrol Area of " . The actual term used in the Russian OOB is ob ' yekty , which literally means ' objects ' . However , in the military sense it can mean structures , and targets . One possible interpretation that can be offered to better define the use in English is that the meaning here is of the actual " area of responsibility " of the unit in terms of installation s , facilities , logistic network s and other possible locations that an enemy may select to attack . In this sense the meaning is more an area - related definition then a specific location , describing the operational activity of the air unit within the realm of its responsibilities .
