Battle of Arghandab ( 1987 ) The Battle of Arghandab was an offensive launched by Afghan government forces , supported by Soviet troops against Mujahideen strongholds in the Arghandab District of Kandahar Province , Afghanistan . The operation ended in failure , and the government forces withdrew after suffering heavy losses . Prelude . During the Soviet war in Afghanistan , the Afghan mujahideen had important forces in the Kandahar area . These were affiliated with different parties , and while they cooperated with each other , they were unable to form a unified command . The principal commanders were Mullah Naqib of Jamiat - e Islami , Lala Malang of Hezb - e Islami Khalis and Abdul Latif of the National Islamic Front of Afghanistan . In early 1987 , the mujahideen launched an attack in and around Kandahar . Diversionary raids targeted Soviet and WAD positions , but the main objective were the defensive outposts manned by pro - government militias defending the city . These were the Jowzjan i Uzbek militia of Abdul Rashid Dostum , the Achakzai militia of Ismatullah Muslim , and a Baluch force under Meri Baluchis . The militias suffered heavily in the attack , causing the government to plan a retaliatory offensive against resistance strongholds in the Arghandab District . Battle . The Soviet - Afghan force that was organised for the circumstance was composed of 6 , 000 men drawn from the 15th Division and the 7th Tank Brigade , stationed near Kandahar , with reinforcements from the 14th and 17th Divisions , and from local militias and troops brought in from Kabul . The Soviets contributed the 70th Motorized Rifle Brigade and air units , but the bulk of the force was composed of Afghan forces , and the Soviet role was limited to support missions . The communist regime sent its defense minister and interior minister to oversee the operation . The terrain of Arghandab district presented several difficulties for an attacking force . Situated in a lush agricultural area along the Arghandab River , it is crossed by many deep irrigation ditches which limit and channelize the movement of armoured vehicles , as well as providing cover for the defenders . The offensive began on May 22 , supported by massive artillery and aviation strikes . After some aircraft were shot by Mujahideen Stinger missile s , the Soviet helicopter gunships which had provided much of the air support were called off . The Afghan troops found themselves facing entrenched Mujahideen , dug in to camouflaged bunkers , and their morale suffered accordingly . The government troops often refused to attack , and large numbers defected to the resistance with their weapons . By the end of June the offensive ended . The DRA losses were 500 killed and wounded , as well as 1200 defections . The Mujahideen lost 60 killed defending Chaharqulba , the stronghold of Mullah Naqib , and " many others " in other areas .
Boulton Paul P . 120 The Boulton Paul P . 120 was a British research aircraft produced to investigate delta - wing aerodynamics in the early 1950s . It was very similar to the tailless Boulton Paul P . 111 apart from having a horizontal tailplane . Design and development . The P . 120 followed the earlier Boulton Paul P . 111 delta - wing experimental aircraft . It was produced for the Air Ministry to specification E . 27 / 49 and differed from the P . 111 in having a swept fin and rudder with horizontal tail surfaces high on the fin to improve longitudinal and directional stability . It had essentially the same wing as the P . 111 in the latter ' s greatest span configuration , an unclipped delta ; the wing tips of the P . 120 were not removable or replaceable , but they could be rotated differentially or together for lateral or longitudinal trim . Just inboard of these tips the P . 120 gained a pair of wingfences . The fuselages of the two aircraft were also identical , except towards the rear . Testing and evaluation . Test flying took place at Boscombe Down . Although there had been a problem on its first test flight on 6 August 1952 test pilot " Ben " Gunn when the tailplane incidence required for takeoff in the available distance was misjudged , the P . 120 had exhibited pleasant flying characteristics over 11 hours of flight time . Shortly before the Farnborough Air Show of September 1952 the previously unpainted P . 120 received a gloss black ( with yellow trim ) finish and immediately gained the nickname " Black - Widowmaker . " On 28 August Gunn encountered severe flutter which led to the loss of the whole port elevon . Unable to keep the aircraft flying and despite the dramatic nickname he ejected safely , making the first ejection from a delta winged aircraft though the P . 120 was lost . Although plans were made to convert the earlier P . 111 to the P . 120 configuration , a decision was made to suspend further development , making the P . 120 the last Boulton Paul design to fly .

Silesia Walls Silesia Walls ( , ) are a line of three ( or sometimes fewer ) parallel earthen ramparts and ditches that run through Lower Silesia in Poland , by the towns Szprotawa and Kożuchów . The walls are about 2 . 5 metres tall and , at their widest , 47 metres . They run for about 30 kilometres . It is hypothesized by Maciej Boryna of the Muzeum Ziemi Szprotawskiej that the Silesia Walls were the southwest border of the Duchy of Głogów and built in 1413 - 1467 . It is possible that rather than being military in nature the wall was designed to reduce smuggling .
