RL - 83 Blindicide The RL - 83 Blindicide is an antitank rocket launcher produced by Mecar SA of Belgium and was an improved derivative of the M20A1 Bazooka . Its name roughly means " tank killer " , derived from the French " véhicule blindé " ( " armoured car " ) and the suffix " - cide " . Versions . The Blindicide was also produced in a 100mm version ( the RL - 100 ) . The 83mm version fired a 1 . 6 kilogram projectile with a 0 . 5 kilogram warhead while the 100mm version fired a 2 . 75 kilogram projectile . The rate of fire was six rounds per minute and the range 400 meters for both versions . The muzzle velocity of both versions varied , with the 83mm version firing at 100 m / s while the 100mm version fired at 195 m / s . A later round introduced for the RL - 83 has a muzzle velocity of 120 m / s and uses a rocket booster to achieve a velocity of 300 m / s . The effective range of this 2 . 4 kilogram projectile is 500 meters . The high - explosive antitank ( HEAT ) rocket of the RL - 83 Blindicide can penetrate 300 millimeters of rolled homogeneous armour or one meter of concrete . Besides HEAT , the Blindicide can also fire anti - personnel , smoke , incendiary , and illumination rounds . A final version of the Blindicide was the RLC - 83 , a shortened version of the RL - 83 . The RLC - 83 differs from the RL - 83 in having a 1 . 2 meter launch tube . The RLC - 83 is intended to be used only with the rocket - boosted long - range projectiles . Switzerland produced a licence version of the Blindicide , the Raketenrohr 58 ( RR 58 ) . The Raketenrohr 80 ( RR 80 ) was an improved version with new aiming system for use by night . The Swiss army had a total of 20 , 000 RRs in service , all of which have been replaced by the German Panzerfaust 3 . Operational history .

Rogožarski Brucoš Rogožarski Brucoš ( Serbian Cyrillic : Рогожарски Бруцош ) was a single - engine , two - seat , low wing monoplane aircraft designed as a trainer in Yugoslavia before World War II . It was designed and built in the Rogožarski aircraft factory in Belgrade . Design and development . In order to replace its obsolete pilot training aircraft , the Zmaj Fizir FN biplane , the Yugoslav Royal Air Force ( YRAF ) Command held a competition in mid - 1936 to develop a new aircraft for training pilots . The new aircraft was to be a low wing aircraft so that Yugoslavian pilots could get accustomed to piloting the fighters that the Yugoslav Royal Air Force was using , the Hawker Hurricane , Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Rogožarski IK - 3 . The Rogožarski Factory decided to participate in the competition and engaged two well - known aerospace engineers , Miroslav Nenadović and Mitrović Milenko - Spirta , who began working on the design . Building of the prototype started the same year , and it flew for the first time in May 1940 . It was handed over to the YRAF for examination , and aircraft functionality . Operational history . During the testing done in the aircraft repair plant all deficiencies observed were remedied and the plane was able to fly again before October 1940 . Simultaneously with the repairs the wings underwent reconstruction so they could enter into reverse - this was the first Yugoslav aircraft with folding wings . Unfortunately , the Commission had already given an unfavorable opinion on the Brucoš . Factory Rogožarski objected to this view , and formed a new commission to re - examine all the additional aircraft that participated in the contest . The second Commission declared the Ikarus Aero 2 aircraft as the best . Desiring , however , to sell his plane , and in cooperation with Royal Yugoslav Navy aviation , the factory re - designed the Rogožarski " Brucoš " as a floatplane with a 140 kW Walter Six engine and floats from the Canadian Edo Aircraft Corporation . This aircraft was offered to the Navy command as a floatplane for basic training . At the beginning of April , the single Brucoš was in the hangar of the Experiment Aero Group at Zemun airport , only to be flown on 10 April 1941 to the war airfield in Veliki Radinci where the first fighter brigade had been relocated . The Brucoš is believed to have been burnt with other aircraft to keep them from falling into enemy hands .

Women in the Paraguayan War Paraguayan women had a significant role in the Paraguayan War ( 1864 – 1870 ) . The Paraguayan War , also known as the War of the Triple Alliance , was one of the most dreadful in the history of Latin America . It began in 1864 when the leader of Paraguay , Francisco Solano López , attacked the neighboring countries ( Argentina , Brazil and Uruguay ) because he saw them as an obstacle in his plans to take control of the sea outlet offered by the Rio de la Plata . This war can be observed from many different directions , such as the significantly large amount of time it took Paraguay to recover from its defeat , or the contributions this war had on Brazil ' s decision to abolish slavery . Though these angles are an important part of the puzzle , history seems to have forgotten one major group of people : women , Paraguayan women , to be more specific . During the period just before the war began many Paraguayan women were the heads of their households , meaning they did have some power and authority . They received such positions by being widows , having children out of wedlock , or their husbands worked on " peon s " . When the war began women started to venture out of the home becoming nurses , working with government , and stabilizing themselves into the public sphere . When the " New York Times " reported on the war in 1868 they considered Paraguayan women equal to their male counterparts . Paraguayan women ' s support of the war effort can be divided into two stages . The first being from the time the war began in 1864 to the Paraguayan evacuation of Asunción in 1868 . During the period of the war , peasant women became the number one producers of agricultural goods . The second stage begins when the war turned to a more guerrilla form . It started when the capital of Paraguay fell and ended with the assassination of Paraguay ' s president Francisco Solano López . At this stage the number of women becoming victims of war was increasing . Women helped sustain Paraguayan society during a very unstable period . Though Paraguay did lose the war , the outcome may have been more disastrous without women performing specific tasks . They were farmers , soldiers , nurses , and government officials . They became the symbol for national unification , and at the end of the war , the traditions women maintained is part of what held the nation together .
