152 mm gun M1910 / 34 152 - mm gun model 1910 / 34 ( ) was a Soviet 152 . 4 mm ( 6 inch ) heavy gun , a modernization of the 152 - mm gun M1910 / 30 , which in turn was based on 152 - mm siege gun M1910 . Description . M1910 / 34 combined a barrel of the M1910 / 30 with a carriage of the 122 - mm gun M1931 . The barrel was of built - up construction ; it was equipped with interrupted screw breechblock and recoil system consisting of hydraulic buffer and hydropneumatic recuperator . The split - trail carriage had leaf spring suspension and wheels with solid rubber tire s . Development and production history . The first upgrade of the 152 - mm siege gun M1910 resulted in a weapon with improved characteristics , but didn ' t address some significant shortcomings , namely insufficient mobility ( due to unsprung carriage and separate transportation of barrel ) and limited traverse . The new modernization was an attempt to solve these problems by using a modern split trail carriage of the 122 - mm gun M1931 . A prototype went through ground trials starting 16 May 1934 . The trials lasted until 16 January 1935 , then the gun was given to the army for testing . The responses were mostly positive and the gun was officially adopted as 152 - mm gun model 1910 / 34 . Because of its maximum elevation angle of 45° , it was sometimes referred to as howitzer . In fact , even the developers initially called the piece 152 - mm howitzer model 1932 and later 152 - mm howitzer model 1934 . The latter name can also be seen in some official documentation . Production at the " Perm plant " started in 1934 and continued until 1937 , with a total of 275 pieces built . Organization and employment . According to RKKA organization , 152 - mm guns were employed by corps artillery and by the Reserve of the Main Command , typically instead of 152 - mm gun - howitzer M1937 ( ML - 20 ) . Heavy gun regiments of Reserve of the Main Command had 24 pieces each . According to different sources , at the outbreak of Great Patriotic War the Red Army possessed either 146 M1910 / 34s or all 275 pieces . These undoubtfully saw combat in the war , though due to their limited number the details of their service are unknown . A few pieces were captured by Germans which adopted them as 15 , 2 cm K . 433 / 2 ( r ) . Summary . The second modernization of the M1910 significantly improved mobility and traverse of the gun . The barrel was not transported separately anymore , which meant much faster set up time . Improved elevation led to slightly longer range . However , there were still some problems . The elevation mechanism was combined with equilibrator in a single device - a construction which resulted in slow elevation . The maximum elevation angle of 45° was considered insufficient . Some elements of the gun , mostly of the upper carriage , were hard to produce . As a result , more attempts to improve the design followed , eventually resulting in the 152 - mm gun - howitzer M1937 ( ML - 20 ) .
VL Pyry VL Pyry ( Finnish language for " blizzard " ) was a Finnish low - winged , two - seated fighter trainer aircraft , built by the State Aircraft Factory ( " Valtion lentokonetehdas " ) for use with the Finnish Air Force .

The chief designer was Arvo Ylinen , and the other persons of the design team were Martti Vainio , Torsti Verkkola , and Edward Wegelius . The first flight was made on March 29 , 1939 by the factory test pilot . The FAF ordered 40 aircraft in May and the aircraft were quickly constructed and were ready in the spring of 1941 . These were designated VL Pyry II and their identification numbers ran from PY - 2 - PY - 41 . The first unit to be equipped with Pyrys was the Air Force School in Kauhava , in 1941 . Around 700 pilots were trained in the aircraft and the type accumulated over 56 , 000 flying hours over a service life of 20 years . PY - 1 and PY - 27 made last flights of the Pyry in Härmälä on 7 September 1962 . The first accident with a Pyry happened in March 1943 , when Major E . O . Ehrnrooth , commander of a Messerschmitt Bf 109 squadron , fatally overstressed his aircraft .

Dewoitine D . 372 Dewoitine D . 372 was a French fighter aircraft of the 1930s . History . Design of this machine was by SAF - Avions Dewoitine but owing to over work at that companies plant at the time , manufacture of the D . 372 was transferred to Lioré et Olivier . They were high - wing monoplanes of all - metal construction with valve head blisters on their engine cowlings . The first prototype flew in October 1931 . Flight testing resulted in the need for multiple revisions in both engine and airframe , so it was February 1934 before the second prototype flew . Its performance prompted the French government to order for 28 for the " Armée de l ' Air " and " Aéronavale " . The Lithuanian government ordered 14 that remained in service with their tiny Air Force until 1936 , when they were sold to the Spanish Republican government .

Turbine - class destroyer " Turbine " class was a class of destroyer s built for the Italian " Regia Marina " in the late 1920s . They were essentially larger versions of the earlier . All the ships of the class were lost during World War II . History . During the Spanish Civil War , the Italian Navy supported the Spanish Nationalists not only by assisting them with war supplies , but also through undercover operations against enemy shipping . In the course of these missions , the destroyer " Ostro " torpedoed and sank the Spanish Republican freighter " Conde de Abasolo " on 13 August 1937 , while the " Turbine " sent to the botttom by the same means the Soviet " Tymiryazev " on 30 August , both of them off Algeria . At the beginning of World War II , when Italy declared war against Britain and France , all eight ships of the " Turbine " class were based in Tobruk , Libya . They were tasked with mine laying duties and running supplies between Tobruk and Taranto . On 16 June 1940 , " Turbine " sank the British submarine just off Tobruk . " Turbine " , " Aquilone " and " Nembo " took part in the shelling of Sollum on 14 June 1940 . They repeated this action on 26 June . On 28 June 1940 , " Espero " , " Ostro " and " Zeffiro " were in convoy , heavily loaded down with cargo , when they were intercepted by a British task force of five ships . In the ensuing battle , sank the " Espero " as it lagged behind to allow the other two destroyers to reach Benghasi and later Tobruk safely . On 5 July 1940 , British aircraft carrier launched an attack on Tobruk harbor . Its Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers sank the " Zeffiro " , and severely damaged the " Euro " . Later that month , on 20 July , another Swordfish from HMS " Eagle " spotted the " Nembo " and " Ostro " in the Gulf of Bomba and sank them both with torpedoes . On 17 September of the same year , Swordfish from attacked Benghazi harbor where " Aquilone " and " Borea " were berthed , and both were sunk . " Euro " was part of the escort of the ill - fated " Duisburg " convoy , when her commander lost the opportunity of torpedoing the cruiser HMS " Aurora " due to an error of identification . On 3 July 1942 , while escorting three freighters from Taranto to Benghazi along with the Navigatori class destroyer " Da Verrazzano " , " Euro " and " Turbine " shot down two Beaufort bombers . After the Italian armistice in September 1943 , " Euro " was assigned to the allied fleet and was later sunk by German Junkers Ju 87 " Stuka " dive bombers off Leros Island , Greece . " Turbine " was seized by the German Navy and put into service in the Aegean Sea as a torpedo boat . On 19 June 1944 , at Porto Lago , she was badly damaged by an explosion , which was thought to have been sabotage . She set in to the port of Salamis for repairs , but a US air strike on the port on 16 September sunk her before they could be entirely completed .
Nationalist and Integrationist Front The Nationalist and Integrationist Front ( ; FNI ) is a Lendu rebel group active in the Ituri conflict in Ituri , Democratic Republic of the Congo . The FNI has fought against the Hema tribe and is blamed for the ambush and murder of nine MONUC peacekeepers near the town of Kafe in February 2005 . FNI political leader Floribert Ndjabu was arrested by Congolese authorities , while military head Etienne Lona turned himself in . The BBC alleges that in 2005 , the Pakistani MONUC peacekeepers in Mongbwalu entered in a trading relationship for gold with FNI leaders , eventually drawing Congolese army officers and Indian traders from Kenya into the deal . It is further alleged that these peacekeepers returned weapons taken from the FNI as part of demobilization efforts to FNI leaders known for human rights violations . A 2005 Human Rights Watch report details the connection between the FNI and the mining corporation AngloGold Ashanti , a subsidiary of the Anglo American plc . AngloGold Ashanti admitted that its employees had paid money to the FNI on more than one occasion , in exchange for access to gold mines in the Ituri province . In May 2006 , one MONUC peacekeeper was killed and seven were taken captive in fighting with the FNI . All of the UN peacekeepers were from Nepal and engaged in operations to disarm the militias 62 miles ( 100 km ) west of Bunia , the capital of Ituri . Two of the seven were released in June and the remaining five in mid - July . On 17 July the new leader of the FNI , Peter Karim Udaga , announced that he and sixty of his fighters were ending their battle with the government in exchange for the integration of FNI forces into the national army , including a post of Colonel for Karim . The FNI , the Congolese Revolutionary Movement , and the Front for Patriotic Resistance of Ituri ( FRPI ) agreed to disarm on August 22 , 2007 . However , in 2008 , several residents in Mongbwalu reported witnessing FNI militias being resupplied by Pakistani UN peacekeepers . The transfer of weapons was confirmed by two FNI leaders currently in prison - " Kung Fu " ( Gen . Mateso Ninga ) and " Dragon " .
