Meerkat ( vehicle ) The Meerkat is the lead vehicle in the Interim Vehicle Mounted Mine Detector IVMMD system , which evolved from a system known as Chubby . The system is manufactured by the Rolling Stock Division ( RSD ) of DCD - Dorbyl , a mechanical engineering conglomerate in South Africa . The Meerkat resembles a cross between a dune buggy and a grader , with a pair of horizontally - mounted rectangular panels , one each side , where the grader ' s blade would be . The Meerkat is intended only to detect land mines - the related Husky and its trailers are intended to dispose of detected mines . With its tire pressures lowered , the Meerkat produces a relatively low pressure on the ground below the tires , enabling it to pass over pressure - sensitive mines designed to destroy heavy vehicles . Even if it detonates a mine , the floor of the driver ' s cabin is armored and the structural components are designed to be quickly replaced .
Breguet 482 The Breguet 482 was a French four - engined bomber aircraft of the 1940s . It was designed prior to the outbreak of the Second World War , two prototypes were nearing completion when Germany invaded France in 1940 , with one being flown after the end of the war as an experimental platform . Development and design . In December 1936 the French Air Ministry issued a specification for a four - seat , twin - engined medium bomber , with Breguet ' s initial design , the Breguet 480 ( or Bre . 480 ) to be powered with the specified 1 , 225 hp ( 914 kW ) Gnome et Rhône 14L radial engines , which was meant to carry 1 , 000 kg ( 2 , 200 lb ) of bombs over a 2 , 500 km ( 1 , 600 mi ) radius . Gnome et Rhône abandoned the 14L however , so , after considering a version powered by two Hispano - Suiza 12Y V12 engines , Breguet reworked the design as the Breguet 482 , with four 1 , 350 hp ( 1007 kW ) Hispano - Suiza 12Z engines , with an order for two prototypes placed by the French Air Ministry on 12 May 1938 . The Breguet 482 was a mid - winged monoplane of all - metal construction , with a clean , low - drag , oval section monocoque fuselage , twin tails and a retractable tailwheel undercarriage . The planned defensive armament was a 20mm Hispano - Suiza HS . 404 cannon in a power operated dorsal position , with a 7 . 5mm machine gun in the nose and a further two machine guns in ventral mountings . Up to 2 , 500 kg ( 5 , 500 lb ) of bombs could be carried . Operational history . Construction of the two prototypes was well progressed when Germany invaded France on 10 May 1940 , and in late May it was decided to evacuate the near complete prototypes from Villacoublay near Paris , with the first prototype being sent to Bône in Algeria and the second to the Breguet factory at Anglet , near Bayonne in the far south - west of France . The first prototype was destroyed during a German air - raid following the Allied invasion of French North Africa , but the first prototype remained untouched , despite the fact that Anglet had been occupied by the Germans since 1940 . When the Germans withdrew , Breguet resumed work on the Br 482 , proposing to complete it with more powerful Hispano - Suiza 12Z engines and a heavier armament . The French " Armée de l ' Air " had no requirement for a bomber , however , and it was decided to use the aircraft , with the planned modifications , but with armament removed , as a research aircraft . In this form it was finally flown for the first time in November 1947 , being used for various experimental purposes , including testing of the 12Z engines .
Belgian National Movement The Belgian National Movement or MNB ( ) was a Belgian resistance group during the Second World War . History .

In February 1944 , most of the leaders of the group were arrested by German forces , effectively halting almost all the activities of the group , though the newspaper was still published until Liberation in September 1944 . Activities . The group ran the " Mill " intelligence network and was also active with the " Comet " Escape Line . It was also active in publishing a clandestine newspaper , La Voix des Belges .

Sukhoi Su - 5 The Sukhoi Su - 5 or I - 107 was a Soviet mixed - power ( propeller and motorjet ) prototype fighter aircraft built toward the end of World War II . Development . The appearance of German turbojet - powered Messerschmitt Me 262 near the end of WWII prompted Soviet Union to develop faster fighter aircraft . Since USSR lacked a production - ready turbojet engine , the efforts were directed toward mixed - power aircraft utilizing a conventional piston engine - driven propeller for the majority of propulsion with a small rocket or jet engine for bursts of speed . The Su - 5 ( initially I - 107 ) and the conceptually similar Mikoyan - Gurevich I - 250 were designed in 1944 . The aircraft first flew on 6 April 1945 and underwent limited flight testing . It was subsequently fitted with a laminar flow wing and attained 793 km / h ( 428 kn , 493 mph ) at 4 , 350 m ( 14 , 270 ft ) with the motorjet functioning . On 15 June 1945 , the Klimov VK - 107 A piston engine was damaged beyond repair in flight . Following acquisition of another VK - 107A , flight testing continued until 18 October when the engine reached the end of its service life . No further VK - 107As could be procured and the project was canceled . The Su - 5 was a conventional monoplane of all - metal construction . The VRDK ( ) motorjet in the rear of the fuselage was powered by a driveshaft from the VK - 107 piston engine and could provide an additional 100 km / h ( 54 kn , 62 mph ) of speed for three minutes .

Coordinating operations with the Continental and North American Air Defense Command s , she detected , tracked , and reported all air contacts that came within her radar surveillance . " Locator " was reclassified " AGR - 6 " on 28 September 1958 and for the next 7 years continued the constant vigil at sea , ever ready to sound the signal of enemy air attack . Her operations at sea were alternated by in - port replenishment periods at San Francisco , California . Decommissioning . After contributing 9 years to the defense of the United States . " Locator " decommissioned at San Francisco 9 August 1965 . Her name was struck from the Naval Register 1 September 1965 and was sold for scrapping , 4 January 1975 .
