Bira gun The Bira gun was a . 577 / 450 Martini - Henry calibre machine gun designed and manufactured in Nepal during the latter part of the 19th century . It was a development of , and based upon , the American Gardner gun . It was double barreled , but fed through an overhead drum magazine similar to the later Lewis gun . The Bira gun was never deployed operationally . Invented by the Nepalese General Gehendra Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana ( 1871 – 1905 ) and similar in some respects to the American Gardner ( especially in the reciprocating bolts ) , the internal mechanism of the Bira Gun is actually quite different in a number of ways , especially as it is hand - crank fired — but the handle is rotated counterclockwise , as this was found more reliable than the usual clockwise rotation of most other mechanical guns such as the Gatling gun and Nordenfeldt gun . Bira Guns were manufactured in 1896 – 97 and are literally handmade , with few parts from one interchangeable with those on another . They were apparently never used in battle but are interesting artifacts in that they were built at a time when fully automatic machine guns , such as the Maxim , had been developed and were becoming increasingly common .
Triple Alliance ( 1717 ) The Triple Alliance was a treaty between the Dutch Republic , France and Great Britain , against Spain , attempting to maintain the agreement of the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht . The three states were concerned about Spain becoming a superpower in Europe . As a result of this militarisation took place , causing great havoc to civilians . This enraged Spain and other states , leading to brinkmanship . It became the Quadruple Alliance the next year with the accession of Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI . Background to the Alliance . After the death of Louis XIV and Queen Anne relations between France and Great Britain improved . George I and the new French Regent , Philippe II , Duke of Orléans were cousins and each faced threats to their regime . Orléans was concerned that his domestic enemies , in particular Louis Auguste de Bourbon , Duc de Maine , would combine with Spain to overthrow him , while George I wished to persuade the French to withhold support for any further Jacobite risings . According to Louis de Rouvroy , Duc de Saint - Simon , who opposed the Alliance , the British Ambassador to Paris , John Dalrymple , 2nd Earl of Stair , argued that the short - term advantage to both regimes of an alliance outweighed their traditional differences . Orléans agreed , as did his secretary Guillaume Dubois , the future Cardinal , who ( together with James Stanhope , 1st Earl Stanhope , the English Secretary of State ) , is generally regarded as the principal author of the Triple Alliance . Saint - Simon , who loathed Dubois , argued that the Bourbon Kingdoms of France and Spain should be perpetual allies , but this took no account of present realities . The Cellamare Conspiracy fully justified Orléans ' concerns about Spanish intentions , and the successful conclusion to the War of Quadruple Alliance vindicated the decision to ally with Great Britain and the Dutch Republic .
Sablatnig SF - 1 The Sablatnig SF - 1 was a reconnaissance seaplane built in Germany during the First World War . Development . It was a conventional two - bay biplane with staggered wings of unequal span and a fuselage of particularly sleek design . The pilot and observer sat in open cockpits in tandem , and the undercarriage consisted of twin pontoons braced to the underside of the fuselage and to wings . Operational history . Sablatnig delivered the SF - 1 prototype to the SVK ( " Seeflugzeug Versuchs Kommando " – " Seaplane Testing Command " ) in October 1915 under the naval serial number 490 . It was finally accepted into active naval service a full two years later , in October 1917 . Although accepted for service with the Imperial German Navy , only the prototype was built , and no production order was forthcoming .

He was one of a group of seventeen soldiers in the military of Sierra Leone that succefully staged a coup that ousted president Ahmad Tejan Kabbah in May 1997 . In 2007 , Kanu was convicted of committing war crime s and crimes against humanity in the Sierra Leone Civil War . Kanu was born either in Freetown or in the Maforki Chiefdom in the Port Loko District of Sierra Leone . Kanu was invited by Johnny Paul Koroma to join the AFRC Supreme Council . In this capacity , were he serves as the commander of the AFRC and Revolutionary United Front forces that attacked civilians in the north , east , and centre of Sierra Leone in 1998 and in Freetown in January 1999 . Kanu was indicted on 15 September 2003 , was arrested on 16 September 2003 , and his trial before the Special Court for Sierra Leone began on 7 March 2005 . He was tried with Brima Bazzy Kamara and Alex Tamba Brima . Kanu was found guilt of crimes against humanity and war crime s on June 20 , 2007 , including counts of murder , rape , forced labour , and the use of child soldiers . He and his co - defendants ' convictions were the first convictions for the Special Court for Sierra Leone and were also the first time anyone had been convicted of the international crime of using child soldiers . On 19 July 2007 , Kanu was sentenced to 50 years ' imprisonment which will probably be served in Austria or Sweden .
Nav / attack system A nav / attack system ( short for navigation / attack system ) is a generic term for an integrated suite of sensor s and navigation equipment that allow a military aircraft to locate and attack specific ground targets with a high degree of precision . Since the late 1950s nav / attack systems have begun to integrate a variety of different sensors , using a computer to compile the data and present it to the aircrew . Although early integrated nav / attack systems suffered from poor reliability , improvements in digital computing technology , particularly the advent of the microchip , have resulted in substantially more sophisticated and effective equipment . A typical modern nav / attack system is based around an inertial navigation system ( INS ) that allows the aircrew to locate the target area without reliance on active sensors such as radar that might alert enemies to the aircraft ' s presence . Since INS is subject to " drift , " limiting its accuracy , the nav / attack system periodically updates the aircraft ' s position based on external radio beacon s ( such as TACAN ) or ( since the 1990s ) GPS or equivalent satellite navigation system , or using a Doppler radar ( although this increases the risk of detection ) . The system typically provides steering cues to the pilot . Once the aircraft reaches the target area the nav / attack system assists the crew in calculating range to target and other parameters necessary for the delivery of bomb s , missile s , or other ordnance . Modern systems typically provide automatic weapons release : the crew authorizes launch / release ( by pressing the weapon trigger or " pickle " ) , but the nav / attack computer actually releases the weapon in order to insure the correct trajectory and to compensate for wind , aircraft velocity , and other factors . The goal of modern air forces since the end of World War II has been a system capable of finding the correct target day or night , even in adverse weather . While current nav / attack systems come closer to this goal than the comparatively primitive systems of the 1960s , they still have significant limitations , and remain dependent on intelligence - gathering and pre - mission planning before the aircraft takes off .
Burns Air Force Station Burns Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located west - southwest of Burns , Oregon . It was closed in 1974 . Burns Air Force Station was established as part of the planned deployment by Air Defense Command of forty - four Mobile radar stations across the United States to support the permanent Radar network established during the Cold War for air defense of the United States . This deployment had been projected to be operational by mid - 1952 . Funding , constant site changes , construction , and equipment delivery delayed deployment . History . The Station was activated on 8 June 1955 after the 634th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was moved to Burns by the 9th Air Division . The squadron began operating an AN / MPS - 7 search - radar set at this site atop Burns Butte , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . By 1959 this radar had been joined by a pair of AN / FPS - 6 height - finder radars . An AN / FPS - 7B radar replaced the AN / MPS - 7 radar in 1960 . During 1961 Burns AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system , feeding data to DC - 16 at Stead AFB , Nevada . After joining , the squadron was re - designated as the 634th Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) on 1 March 1961 . The radar squadron provided information 24 / 7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range , direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile . On 31 July 1963 , the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z - 118 . Also in 1963 , two AN / FPS - 90 s were performing height - finder duties . In 1965 an AN / FPS - 66 A search radar ( relocated from Condon AFS , OR ) replaced the AN / FPS - 7B at the site . One AN / FPS - 90 height - finder radar was retired in 1968 . In addition to the main facility , Burns operated an AN / FPS - 14 Gap Filler site : The 634th Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) was inactivated at Burns AFS on 30 September 1970 as a result of budget restrictions , and the general phase down of air defense radar stations . The squadron was later re - activated in 1972 at Lake Charles AFS , Louisiana . Today , what was Burns Air Force Station is abandoned . The site buildings stand deteriorated and heavily vandalized . It appears as a ghost town on top of the butte .
Hans Georg von Arnim - Boitzenburg Johann or Hans Georg von Arnim - Boitzenburg ( 1583 Boitzenburger Land - April 28 , 1641 Dresden ) was a German general . At different times during the Thirty Years ' War , he was a Field Marshal for the Holy Roman Empire and Field Marshal for its opponent the Electorate of Saxony . He also pursued various diplomatic tasks . Biography . Arnim was born in Boitzenburger Land , Brandenburg . After studies at Frankfurt ( Oder ) , Leipzig , and Rostock , he entered into service at the Prussian court at Königsberg in 1612 , a post he had to leave the next year because of a duel . He aided the Swedish army under Gustavus Adolphus against Russia from 1613 to 1617 . During a number of years he was sent on secret mission between Gustav Adolph of Sweden and the Elector of Brandenburg to arrange the marriage to Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg , then 1621 - 22 with his German regiment aided the king of Poland - Lithuania in action against the Ottoman Empire . In 1626 , although a Protestant , he was persuaded by Wallenstein to enter into the army of the Holy Roman Empire . he quickly rose to the rank of field marshal , and won the esteem of his soldiers as well as that of his commander , whose close friend and faithful ally he became . This attachment to Wallenstein , and a spirit of religious toleration , were the leading motives of a strange career of military and political inconstancy . Arnim , a devoted Lutheran himself , was sent with his imperial troops by the emperor Ferdinand II to aid Swedish - Polish King Sigismund III in the battle against the Lutheran Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden on June 17 , 1629 , at Stuhm . Arnim and his troops carried out this task very reluctantly . When the Polish did not pay the troops they mutinied or went over to the Swedish side . Arnim left the imperial service on account of the Edict of Restitution and Wallenstein ' s dismissal . He entered that of the Elector John George of Saxony , and was in command of the left wing of the army of Gustavus Adolphus at Breitenfeld ( 1631 ) . He then invaded Bohemia , took Prague , and was victorious at Nimburg ( today Nymburk ) , and in 1632 returned to Saxony , then fought in Brandenburg and Silesia . He was one of the principal agents in the negotiations between John George and Wallenstein , which were terminated by the latter ' s death in 1634 . After this , he defeated the imperial army at Liegnitz and operated in conjunction with Bauer in Bohemia . In protest at the Peace of Prague , Arnim left the Saxon forces in 1635 . He was kidnapped by Axel Oxenstierna , for alleged intrigues with Wallenstein against Sweden , and was taken to Stockholm in 1637 , but escaped to Hamburg in November 1638 and thereafter devoted himself to freeing Germany from foreign domination . He was carrying on a campaign , as lieutenant general of the imperial and Saxon forces against the French and Swedes , when he died in Dresden .
Aelianus ( comes ) Count Aelianus ( Greek : Κόμης Αιλιανός ; Latin : Aelianus Comes ) ( † . 359 AD ) was the chief Roman officer in charge of the defense of Amida during the siege of 359 by Shah Shapur II . Very little is know about his life , except that he was noted by Ammianus Marcellinus as having led new recruits into an attack on the Sassanids who were laying siege to the Roman city of Singara . After the capture and sack of Amida , he was gibbet ed by the victorious Sassanians along with his tribunes . He was mentioned in the earlier books of Ammianus Marcellinus ( books 1 - 13 ) , but these are lost .
