Taifun ( rocket ) Taifun ( German for " typhoon " ) was a German World War II anti - aircraft unguided rocket system . Waves of Taifuns were to be launched en masse into US B - 17 Flying Fortress formations hoping for a direct hit . Although never deployed operationally , the system was copied in the US as the Loki , and the USSR as R - 103 . The Taifun project originally dates to 25 September 1942 , when Hermann Göring authorized the start of a number of anti - aircraft projects after a long hiatus when all such advanced development had been frozen by Hitler . Along with the Taifun , the Enzian , Rheintochter , Schmetterling and Wasserfall were also given full funding . The design was originally started by Scheufeln , an officer at Peenemünde , who wanted to introduce an extremely simple system in case the more complex projects did not " work out " . The Taifun proposal was developed by a small team at Peenemünde along with the Electromechanische Werke in Karlshagen . Their design was 1 . 93 metres long and 10 cm in diameter , with four small stabilizing fins at the base . The engine was fueled by a hypergolic mixture of nitric acid and " Optolin " ( a mixture of aromatic amines , gasoline , Visol , and catechol ) pressure - fed into the combustion chamber . The pressure was provided by small cordite charges that were fired into the fuel tanks , in the process bursting a pair of thin diaphragms to allow the fuel and oxidizer to flow into the combustion chamber , and launched the rocket . At burnout 2 . 5 seconds later , the rocket was travelling at 3 , 600 km / h ( 2 , 237 mph ) . Nominal range was to have been about 15 km , with a maximum altitude of 12 km . The rockets were fired in salvos of up to 30 from a launcher mounted on an adapted 88 mm gun mounting . The original plans called for 2 million to have been produced by January 1945 , but the engine experienced lengthy delays and none were ever deployed operationally . The only such system to see operational use was British , who deployed both the Unrotated Projectile and 2 inch RP during the war .
Battle of La Bassée The Battle of La Bassée was a battle between British and German forces in northern France in October 1914 , and was part of the Race to the Sea . The German 6th Army took Lille before the British force could secure the town , while the 4th Army arrived and attacked the exposed British flank at Ypres . The British were driven back ; the German Army occupied La Bassée and Neuve Chapelle . Around 15 October , the British took over the initiative and recaptured Givenchy . However , they failed to reach La Bassée . Meanwhile , the German troops got reinforcements , and retook the initiative . Thanks to the arrival of the Lahore Division of the Indian Corps , the British held off the further German attacks until early November , when both sides focused their interest on the battle of Ypres , so the battle around La Bassée died out and the line stabilised .

Yazaman al - Khadim Yazaman or Yazman , surnamed al - Khadim ( " the eunuch " ) was military governor ( emir ) of Tarsus for the Abbasids and chief military leader in the Muslim borderlands with the Byzantine Empire in Cilicia ( the " al - thughur as - Sha ' miya " ) from 882 to his death in 891 . He is celebrated for his naval raids against the Byzantines . Soon after his appointment , he was embroiled in the dispute between the governor of Egypt , Ahmad ibn Tulun and the all - powerful Abbasid regent , al - Muwaffaq . In September / October 882 , Yazaman was arrested by Tulunid agents , but was released by the local people . Ahmad ibn Tulun himself then marched on Tarsus , but the inhabitants opened the sluice gates and flooded the plain around the city , forcing the Tulunids to return to Damascus without achieving anything . In 883 , Yazaman faced a large Byzantine army sent against Tarsus , under the command of the Domestic of the Schools , Kesta Styppeiotes . Yazaman attacked the Byzantine camp at night , scattering the Byzantine forces and killing Styppeiotes . Yazaman led a major naval raid soon thereafter against the fortress of Euripos ( Chalkis ) , comprising 30 large ships ( of the type called " koumbaria " in Greek ) , but it was beaten off with great loss by the local governor of Hellas , Oineiates , with the aid of thema tic levies and the use of Greek fire . The historian al - Tabari records that Yazaman also led a land raid in 886 and a naval raid in 888 , during which he captured four Byzantine ships . Despite his earlier opposition to them , in 890 Yazaman swore allegiance to the Tulunids , under Ibn Tulun ' s son Khumarawaih . Tarsus was under Tulunid control until 897 , when it was recovered by the Abbasids . Yazaman died on October 23 , 891 , during another raid against Byzantine territories . He was besieging the Byzantine fortress of Salandu ( possibly Tzamandos in western Cilicia ) , when he was wounded by a catapult . This caused the Arabs to break off the siege , and he died on the way back . His troops carried him to Tarsus , and buried him there . According to the 10th - century account of al - Mas ' udi ( " The Meadows of Gold " , VIII , 74 – 75 ) his fame was such that he was among the ten illustrious Muslims whose portraits were displayed in Byzantine churches in recognition of their valour .
S1850M The S1850M is a long range radar for wide area search . The S1850M is produced by BAE Systems Integrated System Technologies ( formerly AMS UK ) and Thales . It is a modified version of the Thales Nederland SMART - L radar . The S1850M is advertised as being capable of fully automatic detection , track initiation and tracking of up to 1 , 000 targets at a range of . It is also claimed to be highly capable of detecting stealth targets , and is able to detect and track outer atmosphere objects at short range , making it capable of forming part of a Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence system . The contract for initial production of the S1850M was signed in 2001 ; 2 for the UK , 1 for France and 1 for Italy , with a common prototype based in Toulon . In 2005 a follow - on contract was signed for 5 more for the UK , 1 more for France and 1 more for Italy . Even a stronger version of the S1850M is under testing , which is actually an updated version of the current SMART - L radar , which the Dutch Navy will call the Smart - L mk2 Radar , with even a greater search radius , but this version is still under testing . It would have a tracking range of over 800 km over sea and 400 km into space . Applications . In all its current applications the S1850M is the long range radar ( LRR ) component of the Principal Anti Air Missile System . On the Type 45 destroyers it is paired with the SAMPSON multifunction radar , on the Horizon ships it is paired with the EMPAR multifunction radar . On 11 February 2009 , Thales indicated that the S1850M radar will be used on the Royal Navy ' s " Queen Elizabeth " class aircraft carrier .

Battle of Pandosia The Battle of Pandosia was fought in 331 BC between a Greek force composed mostly of Macedonians , Epirotes and Tarantines against Southern Italic mountain tribes , including mostly Oscan speaking Samnites , Lucanians , and Bruttii . The Macedonians were led by Alexander of Epirus , the uncle of Alexander the Great . The Italic peoples soundly defeated the invading Greeks , and Alexander of Epirus was killed by a Lucanian during the battle . The Battle of Pandosia ' s significance is threefold . First , it marks the beginning of the end for Greek colonization in Southern Italy . After the battle , Greek colonization of Italy ceased , and existing Greek city states found themselves under pressure from the Oscan tribes . Second , the battle marked the first time in over a hundred years that the massively successful Greco - Macedonian phalanx battle formation saw defeat . The Italians defeated the phalanx by forcing the Greek forces to do battle on uneven , hilly territory . The Italian fighters , armed only with short swords and small shields , fought in small companies ( later called " maniples " in Latin ) , that featured maximum speed and maneauverability . They easily outflanked the less maneauverable Greek fighters in phalanx formation . Until the end of the Roman Empire , gladiator shows featured a style of fighter bearing the distinctive Southern Italian battle gear . The Romans called this style , unsurprisingly , the Samnite . Lastly , the battle is generally credited as the one which showed the Romans how to defeat Greek armies . The Romans later employed modified Samnite tactics with great success as they subdued the Mediterranean . The exact battle site is still disputed . The only certainty is that it is in the mountainous Cosenza province of modern Calabria , Italy .
