On June 13 , Sava Kovačević was killed while personally leading his men during the charge against fortified trenches of German 118th Division at Krekovi , on river Sutjeska . Owing to his humble background and habit of disregarding any privileges of the rank , Kovačević was one of the most popular Partisan commanders . He was famous for his personal courage : one of the well known episodes happened on February 20 , 1943 in Ostrožac on Neretva river when he , with his Brigade commissar Dragiša Ivanović , in an unexpected encounter with a group of Italian tanks , managed to jump on tank platform , Sava on the second and Dragiša on the third of three tanks , to destroy their crews and to capture one tank each . His heroic death made him into one of the Partisan icons . He was posthumously proclaimed People ' s Hero of Yugoslavia . In 1973 film " Sutjeska " he was played by renowned Serbian actor Ljuba Tadić . There have been several songs written about him or mentioning him . One song is " Sivi Sokole " ( Peregrine Falcon ) which mentions his death .

Designed for launch from carrier - based aircraft , the missile programme was cancelled before flight testing began , and the missiles produced were utilized as test vehicles . Design and development . Development of the AAM - N - 4 Oriole began in 1947 , when a development contract was awarded by the United States Navy ' s Bureau of Ordnance to the Glenn L . Martin Company to develop a heavy air - to - air missile , utilizing active radar homing for fire and forget operation , for launch from aircraft operating from aircraft carrier s . Oriole was intended to utilize a rocket or rocket - ramjet propulsion system ; the intended range of the weapon was , however as tested it was limited to a range of approximately . Ready for launch , the missile weighed , and used cruciform fins at the missile ' s midbody and at the tail for flight control . Flight speed was originally intended to be above Mach 3 . In 1948 , the Oriole contract was redefined to be a guidance development program instead of a project to develop an operational missile ; the program to construct test vehicles resumed in 1950 for research and development purposes , the missiles being redesignated RTV - N - 16 . Flight testing begain shortly thereafter at the Naval Air Missile Test Center at Point Mugu , California ; testing continued through 1953 , with 56 flight tests being conducted throughout the program ; as built the missile proved to be capable of Mach 2 . 5 .

Heckler & Koch PSG - 1 The Heckler & Koch PSG - 1 is a German sniper rifle created by Heckler & Koch in mid - 80s as a HK G3 sniper variant . Description . The PSG - 1 sniper system ( PrazisionsSchutzenGewehr , or " high - precision marksman ' s rifle " in English ) had been developed by the German company Heckler - Koch by the mid - 1980s as an ultimate police and counter - terror weapon . Some German elite law - enforcement groups , like GSG - 9 or KSK , participate in this development , and since its introduction the PSG - 1 had been adopted by various police forces in Europe and Americas . It is way too heavy and somewhat too gentle for military use , so it never seen any military use . Instead , HK developed two more sniper weapons . The first , that actually preceded the PSG - 1 , was the G3 - SG1 , an accurized and scope - fitted version of the basic Heckler & Koch HK G3 automatic rifle for German Army . And in the mid - 1980s HK also developed a derivative of the PSG - 1 , called MSG - 90 , for export military sales . The PSG - 1 is still offered by the HK , and is one of the most expensive factory - made sniper rifles on the market , hitting the $ 10 . 000 price tag in the basic package . Technically , the PSG - 1 is no more than a heavily modified G3 rifle . It features the same roller - delayed blowback action , derived from earlier CETME rifles , and the same stamped steel receiver with separate detachable trigger unit . The heavy barrel is precisely made by the cold hammer forging process with polygonal rifling for improved accuracy and longer life . Special trigger unit features a semi - automatic only hammer group and the adjustable trigger with trigger pull of about 1 . 5 kg ( 3 lbs ) . The ergonomically shaped pistol grip features an adjustable palm stop . Plastic buttstock is also adjustable for height and for length of pull . Another non - typical feature of the PSG - 1 is the " silent bolt closing device " , actually similar to the forward assist , found on M16 rifles . This is apparently to be used in situations where a complete silence must be maintained until the shot is fired . The devise is no more that a pushbutton , located just behind the ejection port , and linked to the bolt carrier by the ratchet - like device . The rifle is fed using standard 20 - rounds G3 magazines or special 5 - rounds magazines . There ' s no open ( iron ) sights on the PSG - 1 . Instead , it is fitted with the Hendsoldt 6X42 fixed power telescope sight with illuminated reticle . The scope has built - in range adjuster that works in ranges from 100 to 60 meters , so 600 meters is considered the maximum effective range . Most strangely , the PSG - 1 had no integral bipod . Instead , it is often used with the separate rest , mounted on the compact tripod .

List of aviation shootdowns and accidents during the Iraq War This list of aviation shootdowns and accidents during the Iraq War includes incidents with Coalition and civilian aircraft during the Iraq War . 129 helicopters and 24 fixed - wing aircraft have been reported by media to be lost in Iraq since the 2003 invasion till February 2009 . 45 of these incidents have been attributed to hostile fire such as anti - aircraft artillery and surface - to - air missile s . In March 2007 , Brig . Gen . Stephen Mundt said that 130 helicopters had been lost in both Iraq and Afghanistan , about a third to hostile fire , and he was concerned that they were not being replaced fast enough . Unmanned aircraft of any type are not included in the list . At least 283 personnel have been killed in helicopter crashes since the invasion , and 19 have died in fixed - wing crashes . Since the beginning of the invasion helicopters were the target of attacks with " aerial improvised explosive devices " , home - made bombs . In early 2007 the US Army announced that the Iraqi resistance has a strategy of attacking to US helicopters . This was confirmed by documents captured from Iraqi insurgents . A deputy commanding general in Iraq of the U . S . military said that the average month in 2006 and 2007 saw about 17 attacks against helicopters . Efforts to prevent more deaths included more training for helicopter pilots . They continue to improve tactics and aircraft defenses to reduce losses . In fall 2007 , the military deployed the more advanced V - 22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft . According to the military this aircraft which flies much higher and faster than helicopters has six to seven times more survivability than the CH - 46 . US Army started taking more precautions that resulted in reducing the number of shootdowns . Other aircraft . Several civilian and other aircraft have crashed in Iraq as well : Summary per type . Summing up the above list we have the following tables : " Note : Numerous crashes involving UAVs are not included in the lists above , because they are much easier to shootdown and crash a lot more .
