Constantine Gongyles Constantine Gongyles ( ; ) was a Byzantine eunuch and court official who led a failed expedition against the Emirate of Crete in 949 . Biography . Nothing is known of Constantine ' s early life , except that he came from Paphlagonia . The " Life of St . Basil the Younger " hagiography indicates that he and his brother Anastasios were relatives of the eunuch Constantine the Paphlagonian , who rose to power at court as a favourite of the powerful " parakoimomenos " Samonas and of Emperor Leo VI the Wise ( r . 886 – 912 ) . Constantine first rose to prominence in 913 / 914 , when following the death of Emperor Alexander ( r . 912 – 913 ) , the Empress - regent Zoe Karbonopsina selected him and his brother as her personal councillors . On this occasion , Constantine was raised to the supreme noble rank of " patrikios " . Constantine Gongyles wielded great influence during the regency of Zoe ( 913 – 919 ) , but he fell from power under Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos ( r . 920 – 944 ) . Although Gongyles had intervened to save Lekapenos from blinding for his role in the disastrous Battle of Acheloos , the Gongyles brothers supported the general Leo Phokas the Elder in his struggle for the throne against Lekapenos . The brothers were quick to change sides when Lekapenos gained the upper hand , but they are not mentioned in the sources during the latter ' s reign . Upon Lekapenos ' s deposition in December 944 , however , Constantine Gongyles was appointed as head of the Byzantine navy . Thus , in 949 he was placed in charge of a large - scale attempt to recover the island of Crete from the Saracens . The expedition ended in a disastrous failure , which the Byzantine chroniclers attribute to his lack of military experience : he neglected to fortify the camp of the expedition force , which was routed and well - nigh destroyed in a surprise night attack by the Saracens . Gongyles himself barely escaped on his flagship . His fate thereafter is largely unknown ; at the time of the composition of the " Life of St . Basil the Younger " ( probably in the 960s ) , he and his brother lived in retirement and were spending their fortune on philanthropic and charitable causes .

South Korea Ballistic Missile Range Guidelines In 1979 , South Korea agreed to ballistic missile guidelines , limiting the country ’ s ballistic missile development and possession to 180 km in range . In 2001 , United States officials agreed to extend the range limit to 300 km , which only applied to high - velocity , free flight ballistic missiles , excluding slower , surface - skimming cruise weapons . South Korea developed an unmanned aerial vehicle ( UAV ) and cruise missile called Hyunmoo - 3 . The UAV would not have any limitation in range while the cruise missile ’ s range was 1500 kilometers ( 930 miles ) . South Korea ' s missile ranges were less than North Korea ’ s missiles such as Rodong ( 1300 kilometer - ranged ballistic missile ) and Taepodong - 2 ( 6000 kilometer - ranged intercontinental ballistic missile ) . On October 6 , 2012 , after numerous caucuses between South Korea and the U . S . , both agreed to extend the ballistic missile range to 800 km . This was shorter than the range South Korea suggested ( 1000 kilometers ) but much longer than the existing 300 km limit . After the latest missile guideline extension , one particular Chinese media reported that South Korea ’ s ballistic missiles would gain the capability to reach China , Japan , and Russia as well as North Korea . The media showed concerns over the possibility of a South Korean attack on Beijing , should the South ’ s missile range be extended . Another Chinese media outlet , Shinhwa , evaluated that the extension of the missile range as a violation against the Missile Technology Control Regime ( MTCR ) . Japan raised concerns of heightened resistance by North Korea . The Russian Department of External Affairs opposed the extension of South Korea ’ s missile range , through the column of Alexander Lukashcvich , spokesperson of Department of External Affairs . North Korea stated that they would strengthen their military force in response to the extension . North Korea stated that their rockets were capable of reaching South Korea , Japan , Guam , and even the US . North Korea also said they would ‘ respond to nuclear weapons with nuclear weapons , and respond to missiles with missiles ’ as stated by the National Defense Committee . The National Defense Committee also stated the only thing left was resolute action and that they would show the world an ‘ unimaginable war ’ . Jay Carney , the spokesperson of the White House , briefed that the agreement for extending the missile range was to improve South Korea ’ s defense capacity to face the threats of North Korea ’ s ballistic missiles . He also emphasized that the alliance between the U . S . and South Korea focused on the mission to keep the Korean peninsula , and Southeast Asia safe , and the U . S . would keep to their pledge of defending South Korea steadily .

RIM - 24 Tartar The General Dynamics RIM - 24 Tartar was a medium - range naval surface - to - air missile ( SAM ) , and was among the earliest surface - to - air missiles to equip United States Navy ships . The Tartar was the third of the so - called " 3 T ' s " , the three primary SAMs the Navy fielded in the 1960s and 1970s , the others being the RIM - 2 Terrier and RIM - 8 Talos . History . The Tartar was born of a need for a more lightweight system for smaller ships , and something that could engage targets at very close range . Essentially , the Tartar was simply a RIM - 2C Terrier without the secondary booster . The Tartar was never given a SAM - N - x designation , and was simply referred to as Missile Mk 15 until the unified Army - Navy designation system was introduced in 1963 . The Tartar was used on a number of ships , of a variety of sizes . Initially the Mk 11 twin - arm launcher was used , later ships used the Mk 13 and Mk 22 single - arm launchers . Early versions proved to be unreliable . The Improved Tartar retrofit program upgraded the earlier missiles to the much improved RIM - 24C standard . Further development was canceled and a new missile , the RIM - 66 Standard , was designed to replace it . Even after the upgrade to a new missile , ships were still said to be Tartar ships because they carried the Tartar Guided Missile Fire Control System .
