RSE Kriens ( Missile ) RSE Kriens was a Swiss - developed air defence missile . It never entered service . Kriens stands for the village in the canton of Lucerne Kriens . Design and development . From 1959 to 1966 Contraves developed - along with many other Swiss companies - the Kriens drawing on the experience of the guided missile system RSC / D , RSD 58 . The missile project was funded by Swiss industry and the federal government , and was developed up to production - ready stage . The first flight was on 23 March 1964 . The modular system used advanced technology for the ground equipment and the missiles . The whole system could be interconnected to a multi - part cluster , which included several radars and missile launchers . After introduction of the British Bristol Bloodhound as the BL - 64 the project was cancelled by the EMD . For export , the system was given the name ' Micon ' but the missile was never mass - produced , either for Switzerland nor for another nation A launcher with two missiles is held at the Flieger - Flab - Museum . Contraves used the technical / technological experience / expertise gained , for the buildup of the research rocket Zenit - C . The fire unit consists of : measuring radar , 1 - 3 radio collars , 4 launchers , command car , trolley and several units ( generators ) . Trolley , command car , tracking device and aggregates were individually housed on single - axle trailers , the measuring radar and missile launchers on each two - axle trailers .

As the son of Neoptolemus I and brother of Olympias , Alexander I was an uncle of Alexander the Great . He came at an early age to the court of Philip II of Macedon , and after the Grecian fashion became the object of his attachment . Philip in requital made him king of Epirus , after dethroning his uncle Arymbas . When Olympias was repudiated by her husband , 337 BC , she went to her brother , and endeavoured to induce him to make war on Philip . Philip , however , declined the contest , and formed a second alliance with Alexander by giving him his daughter ( Alexander I ' s niece ) Cleopatra in marriage ( 336 BC ) . At the wedding Philip was assassinated by Pausanias of Orestis . In 334 BC , Alexander I , at the request of the Greek colony of Taras ( in Magna Graecia ) , crossed over into Italy , to aid them in battle against several Italic tribes , the Lucanians and Bruttii . After a victory over the Samnites and Lucanians near Paestum , 332 BC , he made a treaty with the Romans . Success still followed his arms .

Ambassador MK III Missile Boat The Ambassador MK III fast missile craft or Ezzat - class is a small warship built by VT Halter - Marine for the Egyptian Navy . Four ships are planned at a total cost of US $ 1 , 290m ; the first , " S . Ezzat " , was delivered in 2011 and all 4 are scheduled for completion by the end of 2013 . Egypt already operated Halter ' s Ambassador design as a patrol boat for their Coast Guard fleet , and chose a variant of the design with reduced radar cross - section as the basis for a large modern missile boat . Its design was conducted with the assistance of Lockheed Martin . Background . The Egyptian Navy has used fast missile boats to patrol its coastline and defend the entrances to the strategic Suez Canal since the Soviet Union transferred Komar - class missile boat s in 1962 - 67 and Osa - class missile boat s in 1966 - 68 . Their success in sinking the Israeli destroyer " Eilat " in 1967 and other targets led to the Egyptians acquiring Fast Attack Craft from Europe and China , but the last were acquired in 1982 and by the late 1990s replacements were needed . New design . On 7 August 2004 the Defense Security Cooperation Agency ( DSCA ) notified the sale of three Fast Missile Craft to Egypt for US $ 565m under a U . S . Navy Foreign Military Sales program managed by the U . S . Navy ' s Naval Sea Systems Command ( NAVSEA ) . A contract was expected to be signed by the end of that year , but industry sources indicate that the program remained in limbo over technical questions that were not resolved until a meeting in Alexandria in January 2005 . Phase I began in December 2005 , when VT Halter Marine signed a USD 28 . 8M contract with the US Department of Defense to develop a functional design for a fast missile craft ( FMC ) for the Egyptian Navy . This was a new design , sometimes referred to as the Ambassador Mk IV design . Under this phase , VT Halter Marine conducted analytical , design , engineering and model testing for the craft . The effort included preparation for the integration of C4ISR as well as a combat system effectiveness study to validate the system requirements of the vessel . The first phase was completed in December 2006 . On 7 September 2008 , the DSCA reported that the budget for three ships had increased to US $ 1 , 050m and construction finally began in November 2009 . On 17 December 2009 the DSCA announced that a fourth vessel would be procured for an additional US $ 240m , increasing the program cost to US $ 1 , 290m . In May 2010 , the Egyptian Navy was in discussions for the procurement of two additional units ( five and six ) . These units could begin around 2014 . Service history . The first of the class , " S . Ezzat " ( 682 ) , was dedicated in a ceremony on 25 October 2011 . The second , " F . Zekry " , was launched on 4 March 2012 . The remaining two vessels - the " M . Fahmy " and " A . Gad " - were scheduled to be delivered by December 2013 , but that date may slip into 2014 .
