It is similar in design to the Russian " Bar Lock " series radar and may have been derived from it as part of the sale of the SA - 2 system from the Former Soviet Union in the early 1960s . It features the same arrangement of the two large scanners attached to front and ear sides of a rotating cabin that houses the transmitter / receivers . Operating modes . The system operates in S - band and L - band , each parabolic scanner being illuminated by stacked horn feeds to generate families of multiple beams . There are five S - band transmitter / receivers and these are thought to operate with the lower of the two antennas , while the L - band feeds illuminate the upper scanner array . An IFF interrogator is incorporated in the system . Three PPI displays are available , one azimuth / range display and two to four additional PPI . MTI is provided in the L - band modules . The whole system is air transportable but requires considerable time and effort to assemble / disassemble . It is being produced by the Chengdu Jin Jiang Electronic System Engineering Company .

Slingsby Hengist The Slingsby Hengist was a British military glider designed and built by Slingsby Sailplanes Ltd . Like other British troop carrying gliders in the Second World War , it was named after military figures whose name began with H , in this case the Jute invader Hengist . Design and development . The use of assault gliders by the British was prompted by the use by Germany of the DFS 230 transport glider , which was first used in May 1940 to successfully land assault troops on the Eben Emael fort in Belgium . Their advantage compared to parachute assault was that the troops landed in one place , rather than being dispersed . The Slingsby T . 18 Hengist was designed by John " Jack " Frost . It was a 15 - seat glider designed to meet Specification X . 25 / 40 ( in accordance to O . R . 98 ) , issued in February 1941 . The specification was issued in case sufficiently powerful tugs were not available for the larger Airspeed Horsa . Four prototypes were ordered in late 1940 , the first prototype DG570 flying in January 1942 , towed by an Armstrong Whitworth Whitley . A total of 14 production Hengist Mk I were delivered to the RAF between February 1943 and March 1944 . One of Frost ' s uniquedesign touches was to fit the Hengist with a rubber bag as a landing device . A strengthened undercarriage was used on the production aircraft and was designated the Mk III , but this designation was not carried over to the RAF . In appearance , the Hengist was notable for the curved upper and lower surfaces of its flat sided fuselage . Operational history . Two of the Hengist Mk I series were delivered to the Glider Pilots ' Exercise Unit while others were issued to experimental units or remained in storage . Production was halted when Waco Hadrian gliders became available under lease - lend arrangements . As a back - up type , it saw no operational service and was phased out of service in 1946 .
Fifty - Seventh Army ( Japan ) The was an army of the Imperial Japanese Army during the final days of World War II . History . The Japanese 57th Army was formed on April 8 , 1945 under the Japanese 16th Area Army as part of the last desperate defense effort by the Empire of Japan to deter possible landings of Allied forces in southern Kyūshū during Operation Downfall . The Japanese 57th Army was based in Takarabe town , Kagoshima Prefecture . It consisted mostly of poorly trained reservists , conscripted students and home guard militia . Although the Japanese were able to raise large numbers of new soldiers , equipping them was more difficult . By August , the Japanese Army had the equivalent of 65 divisions in the homeland but only enough equipment for 40 and only enough ammunition for 30 . The Japanese did not formally decide to stake everything on the outcome of the Battle of Kyūshū , but they concentrated their assets to such a degree that there would be little left in reserve . By one estimate , the forces in Kyūshū had 40 % of all the remaining ammunition in the Home Islands . In addition , the Japanese had organized the Patriotic Citizens Fighting Corps — which included all healthy men aged 15 – 60 and women 17 – 40 — to perform combat support , and ultimately combat jobs . Weapons , training , and uniforms were generally lacking : some men were armed with nothing better than muzzle - loading musket s , longbow s , or bamboo spears ; nevertheless , they were expected to make do with what they had . The 57th Army was demobilized at the surrender of Japan on August 15 , 1945 without having seen combat .

E . Rogers in command . After a brief cruise to the Hawaiian Islands , " Fuller " arrived at her home port , San Diego , California , on 28 April 1920 , and at once took up the schedule of training which took the Pacific destroyers along the west coast from California to Oregon . In February and March 1923 , she joined in Battle Fleet maneuvers in the Panama Canal Zone , and returned to experimental torpedo firing and antiaircraft firing practice off San Diego . In July 1923 , with her division , she sailed north for maneuvers and repairs at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard . While making their homeward - bound passage from San Francisco , California to San Diego on the night of 8 September , the division went on the rocks at Point Honda when mistakes were made in positional calculations , causing the Honda Point Disaster in the foggy darkness .

Battle of Hokuetsu The was a battle of the Boshin War of the Meiji restoration , which occurred in 1868 in the northwestern part of Japan , in the area of modern Niigata Prefecture . Background . The Boshin War erupted in 1868 between troops favorable to the restoration of political authority to the Emperor and the government of the Tokugawa shogunate . The new Meiji government defeated the forces of Shōgun Tokugawa Yoshinobu ( mostly from the western domains of Satsuma and Chōshū ) at the Battle of Toba - Fushimi , and afterwards divided into three armies to advance on the Shogun ’ s capital of Edo . The imperial army marching up the coast of the Sea of Japan was commanded by Yamagata Aritomo and Kuroda Kiyotaka . Summary . Makino Tadakuni , the daimyō of Nagaoka , in Echigo Province ( modern day Niigata prefecture ) was a supporter of the Tokugawa shogunate , and refused to submit to the new government even after the fall of Edo Castle to the imperial armies . With the assistance of two Prussia n businessmen ( the brothers Edward and Henry Schnell ) as military advisor s , he purchased two Gatling gun s ( only one other existed in Japan at the time ) , 2 , 000 French rifles , and various other armaments . On May 4 , 1868 , Nagaoka joined the Northern Coalition against the Imperial government . The Imperial army was intent on seizing Niigata harbor to facilitate the supply of weapons and troops in the campaign against Aizu and Shōnai , the two main centers of the revolt . In the ensuing campaign , Imperial troops suffered heavy losses on land , especially due to the action of Nagaoka ' s Gatling guns . In the meantime , a small commando team reached Nagaoka Castle by sea , and set it on fire . The castle fell on July 8 , 1868 . A secondary action occurred two months later , when surviving Nagaoka troops , together with troops from Aizu , managed to take the castle back on September 10 , throwing the Imperial side in disarray . However , the attacking side also suffered serious losses , including its leader Kawai Tsugunosuke , who was wounded during the battle and later died of gangrene in Aizu . The castle was retaken by the Imperial troops on September 15 . Aftermath . The Battle of Hokuetsu ended the last resistance to the new Meiji government on the Sea of Japan coast of Honshū , and isolated the remaining center of resistance : Aizu . After an unsuccessful effort at stopping the progress of the Imperial armies at the Battle of Bonari Pass , the next key battle in the Boshin War was the Battle of Aizu .
