W87 The W87 is an American thermonuclear missile warhead . It was created for use on the MX or Peacekeeper ICBM , 50 of which , with up to 12 warhead s per missile , were deployed 1986 – 2005 . Starting in 2007 , 200 of the W87 warheads from now - retired MX / Peacekeeper missiles will be retrofitted onto much older Minuteman III missiles , with only one warhead on each missile . Description . Design of the W87 started in February 1982 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and production of the warhead began in July 1986 and ended in December 1988 . Its design is reportedly somewhat similar to the W88 , though that warhead was designed at Los Alamos National Laboratory . The weapons were refurbished for a lifespan by the National Nuclear Security Administration ' s Life Extension Program . The W87 design includes all modern safety features , including insensitive high explosive s LX - 17 and PBX - 9502 ( primary component TATB ) , a fire resistant pit , and advanced arming and fuzing safety features . The original yield of the W87 was 300 kilotons of TNT , but has the announced ability to be upgraded to a yield of 475 kilotons , presumably by using more HEU in the fusion secondary stage tamper . It is not known if that upgrade was completely tested or merely designed and ready to implement . The exact dimensions of the W87 are classified , but it fits inside the Mk . 21 reentry vehicle , which is a cone with base diameter of 22 inches ( 55 cm ) and a length of 69 inches ( 175 cm ) . The weight is believed to be between 440 and 600 pounds ( 200 and 270 kilograms ) . Variants . In addition to the higher yield upgrade option described above , a specific variant W87 - 1 entered Phase 3 development engineering and was assigned its type designation in November 1988 . This variant was intended for the MGM - 134 Midgetman small ICBM missile and was intended to have the full 475 kiloton yield . The Midgetman and W87 - 1 were cancelled in January 1992 .
Fortifications of Bucharest The fortifications of Bucharest are a ring of 18 fortifications built in late 19th century that surround Bucharest , the capital of Romania . A report by the War Ministry led the celebrated Belgian military architect Henri Alexis Brialmont ( who made several visits to Bucharest , meeting with King Carol in the process ) to draft a plan for the city ' s fortifications , with construction beginning in 1884 . The forts , about 4 km apart , cost 111 . 5 million gold lei ( 15 million were initially allocated ) , or three times the annual army budget . The forts took over two decades to build , and work was quite complex ; the walls are two metres thick in places . All 18 were linked by a road and a railway , which today is DN100 , Bucharest ' s ring road . 18 subterranean batteries were placed between the forts , and the fortification ring included some 240 pieces of artillery in all . Romania , which had recently won its independence from the Ottoman Empire , undertook this enormous effort in keeping with the prevailing military doctrine of the day , which said the capital city should be defended at all costs . In case of invasion , Bucharest was to be the point of retreat , but also the place where significant military operations would begin , spreading from the Danube to the Carpathians . At the beginning of the 20th century , chemical and aeronautical advances rendered the forts obsolete a short while after their completion . Explosives and aerial bombardment made classical fortifications useless in modern warfare . In 1914 , the Battle of Liège , in which the German Army broke through fortifications also designed by Brialmont with greater ease than expected , alarmed the authorities in Bucharest . The forts ' artillery pieces — all top - notch Krupp cannons — were quickly dismantled and transformed into mobile artillery . Indeed , by 1916 , when the German Army was approaching Bucharest , the forts had already been abandoned , and the city was taken without too much difficulty . Today , the military has abandoned most of the forts . Stray dogs seek shelter in some of them ; storage space and mushroom - growing facilities are other reported uses . During the , Fort 18 in Chiajna was used as a pickled goods market . However , the military still employs some of the forts , those to the southwest of the city in particular . They serve as firing ranges and munitions deposits , also housing army units ; civilians are forbidden entry . The best - known fort is number 13 , at Jilava — a military prison from 1907 , a feared destination for political prisoners and place of execution during the Communist era , and now still a penitentiary .
Battle of Piqua The Battle of Piqua , also known as the Battle of Pekowee or Pekowi , was part of the western campaign during the American Revolutionary War . Led by General George Rogers Clark , over 1 , 000 soldiers ( among them Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton ) crossed the Ohio River near present - day Cincinnati and burned five Shawnee villages , including Old Chillicothe , along the Little Miami River . Peter Loramie ' s Store , a British trading post - located in what was later Fort Loramie , Ohio in Shelby County , Ohio - , was also burned by Clark ' s men . The Shawnee gradually withdrew during the first few days before finally engaging American forces 7 miles west of Springfield , Ohio on August 8 , 1780 . Joseph Rogers , a cousin of George Rogers Clark , had previously accompanied him to Kentucky and was later captured by the Shawnee near Maysville . Despite having been adopted by the tribe , he was killed during the battle while trying to join American forces . After several hours of fighting , both sides suffered moderate casualties before scattering the small Shawnee rearguard . The campaign against the Shawnee in the Miami River Valley was intended to discourage further raids against Kentucky and other parts of the American frontier , and while no further raids were made by the Shawnee for the remainder of the American Revolutionary War , hostility greatly increased among the tribes living in the Ohio Country for years afterwards . The battle was the only major engagement fought in Ohio during the American Revolutionary War and a memorial trail and state park , the George Rogers Clark Memorial ( ) and Tecumseh State Park , was later built on the site of the battle by the Clark County Historical Society . An official ceremony was held on the 142nd anniversary to commemorate a monument to George Rogers Clark , a 18 ft . marble statue , as well as the birthplace of Tecumseh . The park was enlarged in 1930 and , on the sesquicentennial celebration of the battle , an historical conference was held at nearby Wittenberg College on October 9 , 1930 .

Operations continued until 15 October when the Squadron was withdrawn from action for one month , resuming operations on 22 November 1944 . The last operational flight occurred during April 1945 and the squadron was withdrawn from operations on 3 May 1945 . After the end of hostilities in Italy , the squadron was used in a transport role , being transferred to Biferno in June 1945 and was disbanded on 15 July 1945 . The squadron was re - established on 8 December 1980 at AFB Ysterplaat when ' A ' Flight of 15 Squadron , flying Super Frelon and Puma helicopters was re - designated as 30 Squadron .
