76 mm air defense gun M1938 76 mm air defense gun M1938 ( ) was 76 . 2 mm ( 3 inch ) Soviet air defense gun , created by Soviet artillery designer M . N . Loginov . This gun was a modernized version of the 76 . 2 mm air defense gun model 1931 , with a slightly modernized barrel and a completely new two - axle carriage ZU - 8 . This carriage was also used for the more powerful 85 mm 52 - K air defense gun , developed in 1939 . The 85 mm gun was chosen for mass production by the Soviet authorities and tooling was switched from the 76 . 2 mm AD guns , to the 85 mm gun . As a result of this decision , the total number of M1938 AD guns , delivered to the Red Army , was relatively small . These guns were used in the first stages of the German - Soviet War and were gradually replaced by the more powerful 52 - Ks . The muzzle velocity of the 6 . 5 kg ( 14 . 33 lb ) projectile was 816 m / s ( 2 , 677 ft / s ) and this allowed the shell to reach a 9 , 250 m ( 30 , 347 ft ) maximum altitude . The external appearance of the 76 mm and 85 mm AD guns is very close ; the two types can be differentiated by their muzzle brake , the larger gun possessing the larger muzzle brake .

Sfera ( helmet ) The Sfera ( Russian : Сфера ) ( Sphere ) are bullet resistant crash helmet style helmets of titanium and steel manufactured with protective GOST ratings of 1 and 2 respectively . They are worn by the Internal Troops of the Interior Ministry in the Soviet Union and its successor state Russia , these helmets continue to be used today by the police and special purpose troops . Versions . СТШ - 81 Сфера . Introduced in the year 1981 , the STSh - 81 was the first example to be produced by НПП КлАСС ( Classcom ) and the material of choice was titanium . STSh - 81 helmets are no longer in production . ССШ - 94 Сфера - С . The SSSh - 94 is the successor to the STSh - 81 and is currently produced by Classcom . Outwardly similar to its predecessor , the introduction of steel armor allowed for improved quality and protection at the cost of additional weight ( The STSh - 81 weighs 2 . 4 kg while the SSSh - 94 weighs 3 . 3 kg ) . The steel used in the SSSh - 94 is of the same type as that used in the Maska series of helmets .

Second Chōshū expedition The Second Chōshū expedition ( Japanese : 第二次長州征討 ) , also called the Summer War , was a punitive expedition led by the Tokugawa Shogunate against the Chōshū Domain . It followed the First Chōshū expedition of 1864 . The Second Chōshū expedition was announced on 6 March 1865 . The operation started on 7 June 1866 with the bombardment of Suō - Ōshima , Yamaguchi by the Navy of the Bakufu . The expedition ended in military disaster for the Shogunate troops , as Chōshū forces were modernized and organised effectively . By contrast , the Shogunate army was composed of antiquated feudal forces from the Bakufu and numerous neighbouring domains , with only small elements of modernised units . Many domains only put up half - hearted efforts , and several refused Shogunate orders to attack outright , notably Satsuma who had by this point entered into an alliance with Choshu . Tokugawa Yoshinobu , the new Shogun , managed to negotiate a ceasefire after the death of the previous Shogun , but the defeat fatally weakened the Shogunate ' s prestige . Tokugawa military prowess was revealed to be a paper tiger , and it became apparent that the Shogunate could no longer impose its will upon the domains . The disastrous campaign is often seen to have sealed the fate of the Tokugawa Shogunate . The defeat stimulated the Bakufu in making numerous reforms to modernize its administration and army . Yoshinobu ' younger bother Ashitake was sent to the 1867 Paris Exposition , Western dress replaced Japanese dress at the Shogunal court , and collaboration with the French was reinforced leading to the 1867 French military mission to Japan .
