BILL 1 Anti - tank guided weapon The RBS 56 BILL is a Swedish manportable SACLOS wire - guided anti - tank missile developed by AB Bofors . Development began in 1979 and entered production in 1985 . BILL stands for ( Bofors , Infantry , Light and Lethal ) . By 1996 15 , 000 missiles had been produced and supplied to the Swedish and Austrian armies . Between 1996 and 1997 Brazil received a number of missiles . In the late 1990s production shifted to the BILL 2 . The Swedish army received the first deliveries of the BILL 2 in 1999 . Description . A man portable BILL system consists of a missile in a sealed launch tube , tripod , day sight and thermal night - vision sight . The missile ' s shaped charge warhead is aimed downwards at an angle of 30 degrees and is triggered by a proximity fuze as the missile passes over the intended target . The top attack warhead allows the missile to strike the thinner top armour of tanks . To enable this to work effectively the missile flies 0 . 75 meters above the line of sight between the launcher and the target . A secondary effect of this is to enable the missile to be used to engage targets largely behind cover , for example a hull down tank . When launched the missile is propelled from the launch tube at around 72 meters per second by a gas generator at the rear of the launch tube . Once the missile is clear of the launch tube the sustainer motor engages and accelerates the missile to a speed of 250 meters per second . Once the missile is about 400 meters from the launcher , the sustainer motor cuts out and the missile continues in free flight .

American Civil War fortifications in Louisville Louisville ' s fortifications for the American Civil War were designed to protect Louisville , Kentucky , as it was an important supply station for the Union ' s fight in the western theater of the war . They were typically named for fallen Union officers ; usually those that served in the Army of the Ohio . The inspiration for building the forts came in October 1862 , when Confederate forces engaged in their largest attack in Kentucky , only to be halted at the Battle of Perryville . Construction began in 1863 , going at a slow pace until Confederate forces marched on Nashville , Tennessee in the autumn of 1864 . This caused General Hugh Ewing to demand from the city to force both military convicts and local " loafers " to help build the fortifications . Due to military engineers being needed on the front lines , the fortifications in Louisville were designed by civilian assistant engineers , as were the ones in Cincinnati , Ohio . Louisville was never endangered , so the guns never fired , save for salutes . Description . Unlike earlier fortifications , which were quickly constructed of stone masonry and timber , these forts were designed for heavy artillery fire . Also , it was decided that a five mile ( 8 km ) radius from the city would not adequately defend the city from artillery fire . As a result , newer fortifications would not use any pre - existing fortifications . They typically held a minimum of 50 artillerists and 200 infantrymen , with four to six cannon . Twelve batteries were to back up eleven forts in an 10 and a half mile arc around the city , relying on the Ohio River to protect the city ' s northern flank . They were placed in prominent positions , where they could engage in a cross - fire of opposing forces . The forts ' lengths were between 550 and , with walls fifteen to thirty feet thick , and six to eight feet high . 200 rounds for each gun were available in the forts . Forts . These forts were : Batteries . Only two of the proposed twelve batteries were constructed : After the war . By March 31 , 1865 , the eleven forts were mostly completed . On May 1 , progress of the fortifications had ended , as the majority of Confederate forces had already surrendered . Forty - four to sixty - six artillery pieces were to be used at the forts , but only twenty - two had been installed by the time construction was halted . None of these protections for Louisville have survived into the 21st century .

Cahir Castle Cahir Castle ( ) , one of the largest castle s in Ireland , is sited on an island in the river Suir . It was built in 1142 by Conor O ' Brien , Prince of Thomond . Now situated in Cahir town centre , South Tipperary the castle is well preserved and has guided tour and audiovisual shows in multiple languages . Role in history . In 1375 , the castle was granted to James Butler , newly created Earl of Ormond , for his loyalty to Edward III . His son James , the second Earl ( by his second marriage ) passed the lands around the barony of Iffa and Offa West to his children , though they were not themselves noble . This changed by 1542 when the first of the Barons Cahir was created . Unlike their staunchly Anglican kinsmen , this branch of the Butler dynasty sided with the Roman Catholic Irish in the Elizabethan wars . In 1599 the castle was captured after a three - day siege by the army of the Earl of Essex and was for a year put under the charge of Sir Charles Blount . Lord Cahir joined with the Earl of Tyrone in 1601 and was attainted for treason , but later obtained a full pardon . In 1627 the Castle was the scene of a celebrated killing when Cahir ' s son - in - law , Lord Dunboyne , murdered a distant cousin James Prendergast , in a dispute over an inheritance . During the Irish Confederate Wars the castle was besieged twice . In 1647 George Mathew , the guardian of the young Lord Cahir , surrendered to Murrough O ' Brien , 6th Baron Inchiquin ( later 1st Earl , and a descendant of Cahir ' s builder ) following his victory at the battle of Knocknanauss . In 1650 he surrendered again to Oliver Cromwell , during his conquest of Ireland without a shot even being fired . In 1961 the last Lord Cahir died and the castle reverted to the Irish state . Construction . Cahir Castle was built in the 13th century on a site of an earlier native fortification called a cathair ( stone fort ) , which gave its name to the place . The castle was built in two parts , with the side now by the street being built 200 years before the side now housing the audio - visual show . Granted to the powerful Butler family in late 14th century , the castle was enlarged and remodelled between the 15th and 17th centuries . It fell into ruin in the late 18th century and was partially restored in the 1840s . The Great Hall was partly rebuilt in 1840 . In recent times . Now a national monument , the castle is managed by the Office of Public Works . In 1981 it was used as a location for a major battle scene in the film " Excalibur " .

Li Rusong Li Rusong ( ) ( 1549 – 1598 ) was a Chinese general of the Ming empire who is from the town of Tieling , Liaodong province . He was the Commander - in - chief of the Ming Empire ' s army in the first half of the Imjin War that took place in Korea peninsula .

His father Li Chengliang was also a famed army commander of Ming empire , known for his accomplishment of defending Liaodong province from Manchus . Based on historical documents , Li Rusong ' s 6th generation ancestor Li Ying ( Chinese : 李英 ) was originally from the Korean town of Chosan in present - day North Korea ( Hangul : 초산군 , Hanja / Chinese : 楚山郡 ) . But there are also historical documents which state that the further ancestors of the Li family were from central China who moved to Korea during war time . Military career . Li Rusong ' s first rise of fame was in early 1592 , when he managed to defeat a major rebellion at Ningxia . The Ming army had been unable to move the rebels holed up in the city for the first 6 months , but after Li arrived the city fell within 3 months . Li was able to divert the waters of the Yellow River directly into the city , which led to its fall . He was immediately appointed the chief general of the expedition into Korea after this ; he led a force of some 36 , 000 into Korea in the last few days of 1592 . Together with Ming administrator Song Yingchang , Li Rusong was generally successful in Korea , first retaking the city of Pyongyang in a direct assault within two weeks of setting off ( on January 8 of 1593 ) , and then took back the city of Kaesong a couple week later . As he marched south towards the Korean capital of Hanyang ( 漢陽 ) in later January , the Ming army clashed with the Japanese forces in the Battle of Byeokjegwan , which resulted in the Ming army being pushed back briefly . Within two months after this he succeeded in recapturing Hanyang . He ordered Chinese and Korean troops to refrain from killing all Japanese soldiers and grant them the right to retreat . Sword . Li is also honoured as the inventor of a sword skill called jedok geom in Korean , which he presumably used during his stay in Korea . The Koreans published his sword - style in their martial arts manuals called Muyesinbo ( 1759 ) and Muyedobotongji ( 1791 ) . Death . In April 1598 , the Mongols invaded the Ming province of Liaodong from the north when Li Rusong was leading a small scouting group around its forests . Surrounded by thousands of Mongol cavalry , he could not escape , and was captured and subsequently killed . He was posthumously given the title of Zhonglie ( 忠烈 ) ( Lord of Fidelity ) .
