Western Army ( Russia ) The Western Army ( ) or 16th Army was created on November 15 , 1918 , by the Russian SFSR for the purpose of recovering territories lost by the Russian Empire during the First World War and establishing Soviet republics in those territories . The Western Army engaged various local forces from the Baltic States , Belarus , Poland and Ukraine , and its actions contributed to starting the Polish – Soviet War of 1919 – 1920 . History . After the Treaty of Brest - Litovsk , the newly established Russo - German border was controlled on the Russian side , by the so - called Western Section of Curtain Troops ( Западный участок отрядов завесы ) , or simply the Western Curtain . The curtain was a sparse and heterogeneous set of detachments . Its commander was Vladimir Egoryev . ( His official rank was " military leader " ( военный руководитель ) , since he was a former Tsarist general ) The Western Curtain covered over 800 kilometres along the line Nevel – Polotsk – Senno – Orsha – Mogilev – Zhlobin – Gomel – Novy Oskol . Eventually the Western Curtain was arranged into seven detachments with over 20 , 000 troops . This number was actually very small in relation to the area it covered , and insufficient in case of any larger battle . Moreover , part of its manpower was moved to other bottlenecks of the Russian Civil War . Eventually , further recruiting by the Red Army allowed a reorganization of the detachments of the Curtain into regular division s , and the Western Curtain was further reorganized into the Western Defense Region ( Западный район обороны ) . It was created by the Revolutionary Military Council order # 3 / 2 on September 11 , 1918 . The Region extended from Petrograd to the Western edge of the Southern Front , and was commanded by Andrey Snesarev ( Андрей Евгеньевич Снесарев ) . After the Treaty of Brest - Litovsk was annulled by the Soviets on November 13 , 1918 the Western Defense Region was transformed into the Western Army ( November 15 , 1918 ) , garrisoned in Smolensk . It was composed of : the Pskov – Lithuanian Infantry Division , the 17th Vitebsk Riflemen Division , the ' Western ' Riflemen Division and units of the 2nd Area of Front Defense . By the end of 1918 , the strength of the Western ( 16th ) Army was around 19 , 000 men , but had little artillery or cavalry ( 8 guns and 261 horses total ) . Over the next few months the strength of the Army grew to 46 , 000 men . It was considered by the Soviet High Command to be one of the least important armies in that period . Immediately after its formation , on November 17 , 1918 , the Western Army started a bloodless advance , following the retreat of the German forces , in the direction of Belarus and Ukraine . The purpose of the Russian westward offensive of 1918 – 1919 was to take control over the territory abandoned by the German Army retreating from the Ober - Ost theater of operations . Later the Soviet Western Army engaged various self - defence and militia groups from Belarus , Lithuania , Poland and Ukraine . Among scores of battles , the Battle of Bereza Kartuska on February 14 sparked the Polish – Soviet War .

French frigate De Grasse ( D 612 ) The De Grasse is a F67 type large high - sea frigate ( warship ) of the French " Marine Nationale " specialised in anti - submarine warfare , though she also has anti - air and anti - surface capabilities . She is named after the 18th Century admiral count François Joseph Paul de Grasse . Between 1994 and 1996 , the " De Grasse " and her sister " Tourville " were refitted with the modern SLAMS anti - submarine system , an active Very Low Frequencies sonar . In April 2006 , the " De Grasse " lost her towed sonar array during an exercise in heavy sea . The incident was reported by the " Canard Enchaîné " ; an investigation was launched to ascertain responsibilities for the loss of the 3 million euro worth sonar array . Meanwhile , the spare sonar of the decommissioned " Duguay - Trouin " was fitted on the " De Grasse " . The De Grasse is due for decommissioning by the mid of 2013 .
STOBAR Short take - off but arrested recovery ( STOBAR ) is a system used for the launch and recovery of aircraft from the deck of an aircraft carrier , combining elements of both short take - off and vertical landing ( STOVL ) without catapult - assisted take - off but with arrested recovery ( CATOBAR ) . Aircraft launch under their own power using a ski - jump to assist take - off ( rather than using a catapult like most carriers ) . However , these are conventional , rather than STOVL aircraft , and thus require arrestor wires to land on the ship . The STOBAR system is simpler to build than CATOBAR — but it works only with light , and lightly armed , fighter aircraft that have a high thrust to weight ratio . As of 2013 , it has only been used regularly on Russian and Chinese carriers . Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System s have been proposed for STOBAR operations . Users . The Russian Navy aircraft carrier " Admiral Kuznetsov " is the first STOBAR carrier . Under construction carriers that will feature a STOBAR configuration include the Chinese aircraft carrier ex - Varyag and the Indian ( formerly the Soviet carrier " Admiral Gorshkov " ) , as well as the future Vikrant class aircraft carrier . When the Eurofighter Typhoon was proposed for the British Royal Navy ' s " Future Carrier Borne Aircraft " , it was envisaged that they would operate in a STOBAR configuration . Instead , the Joint Combat Aircraft will be deployed on the next generation Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carrier s in a STOVL configuration . Lockheed Martin is trying to determine if the F - 35C can be used as a STOBAR fighter . The Dassault Rafale is STOBAR compatible , after several simulations conducted by Dassault Aviation , the Rafale is able , with no modification , to take - off from a ski - jump carrier and the Indian Navy could consider it for a future acquisition .
