2009 Sudan airstrikes In January and February 2009 , there was a series of two air strikes in Sudan and one in the Red Sea , allegedly conducted by Israel against Iranian arms being smuggled to the Gaza Strip through Sudan . The Israeli government hinted that Israeli forces were involved in the incident . Raid . Amos Harel , military correspondent for the Israeli daily " Haaretz " , wrote that the decision to strike in Sudan apparently originated in a belief that Iran was about to inject a significant quantity of arms into Gaza , possibly 70 - kilometer - range Fajr - 3 rocket s . A story in " The Sunday Times " also reported that the trucks were transporting Fajr - 3 rockets , which had been brought by Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps to the Port Sudan and given to local smugglers . The article also stated that the strike was conducted by unmanned Elbit Hermes 450 s . However , " TIME " reported that the strike was F - 16s escorted by F - 15s and UAVs . On April 8 , " Yediot Aharonot " , quoting an American source , reported that Israeli naval commando ( Shayetet 13 ) forces were involved in the operation , which included an attack on an Iranian arms ship docking in Sudan . Former IAF commander Eitan Ben - Eliyahu said the main difficulty in such an attack is precise intelligence . Getting to the target requires a flight of about two and a half hours , presumably on a southerly flight path along the Red Sea coast , under the Saudi and Egypt ian radar and with aerial refueling . The incident was first mentioned in mass media by CBS News on March 25 . On May 26 , Sudanese defense minister Abdel Rahim Mohammed Hussein reported that the convoy was made up of 1 , 000 civilians and was involved in " a smuggling process at the border with Egypt " . The minister disclosed that 119 people were killed ; among them were 56 smugglers and 63 smuggled persons from Ethiopian , Somali and other nationalities . Further strikes . A land cruiser was struck by a missile in Port Sudan on April 7 , 2011 . Sudan blamed Israel for the strike , which was reported to have either killed or wounded Abdul Latif Ashkar , a top Hamas operative . A lengthy article at WRMEA agreed with Sudan about Israel conducting the strike and angrily condemned Israel , but also seemed to undercut Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Karti ' s quoted view that Israel conducted the strike to prevent Sudan from being removed from sanctions and isolation related to its previous support for terrorism : a follow - up quote from the Jerusalem Post discussed Iranian arms smuggling to the Gaza Strip , with the article confirming that Hamas was shipping weapons through the Sudan to Hamas , and stated that Israel was attempting to counter Iran ' s influence in the area ( which the article implicitly stated was linked to material support for terrorists ) . Some Sudanese newspapers reported that Israeli aircraft attacked Gaza - bound arms convoys in late 2011 . Sudan claimed that on October 23 , 2012 four Israeli aircraft attacked a munition factory south of Khartoum .
Type 037 - class submarine chaser The Type 037 class submarine chaser , also known as the Hainan class , is a class of submarine chaser of the People ' s Republic of China ' s People ' s Liberation Army Navy , designed by China to replace the Soviet S . O . - 1 class submarine chaser . Early units had Dual Purpose Mk . 26 76 . 2 mm guns and Russian RBU - 1200 ASW rocket launchers , but eventually , these were replaced by Chinese Type 66 twin 57 mm guns and Type 81 ASW rocket launchers ( the Chinese version of RBU - 1200 ) . The original Skin Head radar has been replaced by the Pot Head radar . In addition to ASW missions , these simple yet effective units are also capable of a wide variety of missions such as mine laying and patrol . These boats were first equipped with Soviet Soviet Tamir - 11 ( MG - 11 , with NATO reporting name Stag Hoof ) hull mounted sonar with a typical range of 3 km , but in the 1970s , they were superseded by domestic Chinese SJD - 3 sonar , which is modification of original MG - 11 : instead of being fixed to the hull , SJD - 3 has a telescoping arm , so when not in use , the sonar is stored in the hull , and when deployed , the sonar is lowered into water several meter below the hull , thus increased detection range by avoiding baffles generated by the hull . Exports and successors . Over 70 were built , but as newer submarine chasers enter service , this class is being transferred into the reserves . A number of these have been exported to Bangladesh , Egypt , North Korea , Pakistan and Myanmar . The Type 037 Hainan class is also the base of Type 206 class gunboat , also known as Huludao class . Operational service . During the Sino - South Vietnamese naval clashes on January 19 , 1974 , two boats of this class , # 281 & # 282 ( two out of the 8 total in Chinese inventory ) participated in the latter half of the battle , the fastest Chinese units in the conflict . Originally the units were waiting at Yongxing Island , but due to the problem of communications ( mainly due to the backwardness of the Chinese communication gear ) , they were not notified until the battle was already in progress .

The programme was a co - production between the Open University and the BBC and aired in November 2008 on BBC 2 . The material was presented by Michael Palin who " reveals the shocking truth that soldiers continued to be killed in battle for many hours after the Armistice had been signed . " Palin recounts the personal stories of the last soldiers to die in the final days , hours and minutes of World War I . The programme commences with a brief mention of Major General William M . Wright of the United States 89th Division who , according to the Palin , sacrificed lives storming the town of Stenay simply so his troops could have a bath ; " . . . that lunatic decision cost something like 300 casualties " according to American historical author Joseph E . Persico . The German 1918 Spring Offensive was Germany ' s last attempt to force the British and French to capitulate before the expected arrival of overwhelming American forces . The gamble almost succeeded but the allies first held and then , in July at the River Marne . pushed back the Germans . On 8 August - " The Black Day of the German Army " , the British launched their counter - attack at Amiens . The Germans were forced back and would never recover . They had suffered extremely high casualties in their offensives ; the allied naval blockade was threatening starvation ; revolution at home meant troops were fighting both the enemy and their own countrymen ; and now American troops were arriving at the front at a rate of 300 , 000 each month . Faced with disaster , the German Government dispatched a civilian peace delegation under Matthias Erzberger . On Thursday , 7 November French soldiers on the Front line near La Capelle witnessed the approach of several German cars bearing white flags . The delegation was escorted through the devastated French landscape via Guise and onto Homblières from where they were placed on a train . The train was routed through Tergnier to a gun siding by Rethondes in the forest of Compiègne and the personal train carriage of Marshal Foch , supreme commander of the Allied armies . Foch was in no mood to compromise and greeted the delegation : " What do you want from me ? " . The Germans stated that they were there to negotiate an armistice . Foch replied that as far as he was concerned there would be no negotiation - they were there to receive his terms . A meeting was arranged for the next day from whence the Germans would have 72 hours , from the 8th to 11th , to agree to Foch ' s terms ; Erzberger suggested an immediate ceasefire but this was refused by Foch . Foch conceded virtually nothing during the ensuing talks . Erzberger was required to telegraph the terms back to the Supreme Command and was told to accept any terms as the situation was so grave ; the messages were uncoded and were read by the Allies . At 5 : 10 am 11 November 1918 the two sides signed and the news was sent around the world that hostilities would cease at 11 : 00 am .
