Bamboo Curtain The Bamboo Curtain is a Cold War euphemism for the political demarcation between the Communist and capitalist and non - communist states of East Asia , particularly the People ' s Republic of China . The term was less often applied to the Korean Demilitarized Zone dividing North and South Korea and the flexible Southeast Asia border between Communism and the West ( here referring to the forces aligned against Communism during the Cold War ) . During the Cultural Revolution in China , the Chinese authorities put its sections of the Curtain under a lock - down of sorts , forbidding entry into or passage out of the country without explicit permission from the Chinese government . Many would - be refugees attempting to flee to capitalist countries were prevented from escaping in this manner . Occasional relaxations had led to several waves of influx of refugees into the then British crown colony of Hong Kong . The term " Bamboo Curtain " was used less often than the term " Iron Curtain " in part because while the latter remained relatively static for over 40 years , the former shifted constantly and was somewhat more porous . It was also a less accurate description of the political situation in Asia because of the lack of cohesion within the East Asian Communist Bloc , which ultimately resulted in the Sino - Soviet split ; The Communist governments of Mongolia , Vietnam and later Laos were allies of the Soviet Union , while Cambodia ' s regime of Pol Pot was loyal to China . Shortly after the Korean War , North Korea swore allegiance to neither the USSR nor China ( this refusal to take sides by North Korea continues today , though now in the opposite direction : North Korea proclaims solidarity with both Russia and China ) . Improved relations between China and the United States during the later years of the Cold War rendered the term more or less obsolete , except when it referred to the Korean Peninsula and the divide between allies of the US and allies of the USSR in Southeast Asia . Today , the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea is typically described as the DMZ . " Bamboo Curtain " is used most often to refer to the enclosed borders and economy of Burma ( though this began to open in 2010 ) .
Landing Craft L - 50 The Landing Craft L - 50 was a mechanized landing craft used by the Swedish Navy and the Swedish coastal artillery from the 1950s to the 1980s . At that time the Swedish Coastal Artillery was a separate military branch consisting of five regiments . After several reorganizations , they are today called the 1st Marine Regiment ( Amf 1 ) and located in Berga örlogsbas . The Coastal Rangers ( Kustjägarna ) are also part of the Swedish Navy . They have replaced their old L - 50 boats with Fast Attack Craft 90H . The L50 - boats could carry both vehicles and personnel and was designed specifically for landing of coastal rangers under fire . During the crossing the personnel was protected behind the vessel ' s steel hull and a massive ramp at the bow . The vessel was built with a flat bottom so it could run well into shallow beaches without run aground . When the vessel had run as close to land as possible , the ramp went rapidly down and the personnel stormed ashore , if necessary by use of " Fire and Movement " . The initially goal was normally to establish a beachhead in order to ensure the landing of the main force . Today some of the L50 boats have been rebuilt and are currently used by governments and private organizations throughout Scandinavia .
Charles Chanoine Charles Sulpice Jules Chanoine ( December 18 , 1835 , Dijon , Côte - d ' Or – January 9 , 1915 ) was a French military officer who played an important role in the Far East , and later became Minister of War . Early in his career , he served as chief of the French troops in China during the Second Opium War ( 1856 – 1860 ) . Later , from 1867 to 1868 , he was posted to Japan as the commander of the First French Military Mission to Japan , sent to that country by Napoleon III at the request of the 14th shogun Iemochi Tokugawa . Among the officers under his command in Japan was Jules Brunet , who would play a key role in the conflict between the Shogun and the restoration forces of the Meiji Emperor during the Boshin War . Due to the involvement of the Mission in supporting the Shogun , Chanoine had to leave Japan with the majority of the other French advisors in October 1868 , per orders of the new emperor Meiji . Those who chose to remain , led by Jules Brunet , sent letters of resignation from the French army before joining the forces of the Shogun . This was done apparently with Chanoine ' s tacit agreement , as he covered up their departure for a period of several days . As Henri Brisson ' s third Minister of War in 1898 , Chanoine , like his predecessors , Generals Cavaignac and Zurlinden , attempted to prevent a review of the Dreyfus case , against the wishes of the cabinet , which had already decided to support review . The indecision within the government caused by Chanoine ' s actions , as well as the chaos on the streets caused by the anti - Dreyfusards , led to the fall of the government . During his Ministry , Chanoine named Jules Brunet , his former aide in Japan thirty years earlier , to the position of Chief of Staff of the French army ( " Chef d ' Etat Major " ) . Chanoine had a son , Lt . Julien Chanoine , who played a role in the French conquest of Chad , in the Voulet - Chanoine Mission .

Configuration was a classic high - wing , " tail - dragger " aircraft with fixed landing gear . History . The Do 27 was developed from the Do 25 , an aircraft originally designed to a Spanish military requirement for a light utility aircraft . The Do 27 seated four to six and the original prototype first flew in Spain on 27 June 1955 . Most production aircraft were built in Germany , the first taking flight on 17 October 1956 . The remainder ( 50 ) were manufactured in Spain by Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA as the CASA - 127 . The German " Luftwaffe " and German Army ordered a total of 428 of the Do 27A and Do 27B ( with dual controls ) . A later version with the same basic specifications but equipped with wider track landing gear was known as the Do 27Q - 5 .

Opytny - class destroyer The Opytny ( Опытный - Experienced ) was a unique destroyer built for the Soviet Navy . The Soviet designation was Project 45 . She was commissioned in 1941 and fought in World War II as part of the Baltic Fleet .

Design . The Specfcations ( TTZ in Russian ) for this ship were issued in 1934 . The ship was intended as a prototype to test a new propulsion system , which was intended to use high pressure Wagner type boilers developed by Germany . The Wagner boilers were more compact and powerful then conventional boilers and used superheated steam ( 75 atmospheres vs . the 26 - 27 atmospheres in conventional boilers used for the " Project 7 " destroyers ) . The machinery was mounted in a unit layout with two funnels and alternating boiler rooms and engine rooms . The design speed was 42 knots Due to the weight savings it was designed to mount 3 twin enclosed gun turrets in positions A , X and Y similar to the Japanese Fubuki class destroyer s . A new gun system , the B - 2LM , was developed for this ship however due to poor weight control the twin turrets were substituted for single guns . Service .
