When his platoon was pinned down by heavy fire from enemy mortars , machineguns , machine pistol s , and rifles , he climbed in advance of his squad on a maneuver around the left flank to locate and eliminate the enemy gun positions . Undeterred by deadly fire that ricocheted off the barren rocky hillside , he crept to the rear of the first machinegun and charged , firing his submachinegun . In this surprise attack he captured 8 prisoners and turned them over to his squad before striking out alone for a second machinegun . Discovered in his advance and subjected to direct fire from the hostile weapon , he leaped to his feet and ran forward , weaving and crouching , pouring automatic fire into the emplacement that killed 4 of its defenders and forced the surrender of a lone survivor . He again moved forward through heavy fire to attack a third machinegun . When close to the emplacement , he closed with a nerve - shattering shout and burst of fire . Paralyzed by his whirlwind attack , all 4 gunners immediately surrendered . Once more advancing aggressively in the face of a thoroughly alerted enemy , he approached a point of high ground occupied by 2 machineguns which were firing on his company on the slope below . Charging the first of these weapons , he killed 4 of the crew and captured 3 more . The 6 defenders of the adjacent position , cowed by the savagery of his assault , immediately gave up . By his l - man attack , heroically and voluntarily undertaken in the face of tremendous risks , Sgt . Karaberis captured 5 enemy machinegun positions , killed 8 Germans , took 22 prisoners , cleared the ridge leading to his company ' s objective , and drove a deep wedge into the enemy line , making it possible for his battalion to occupy important , commanding ground .

Beriev A - 60 The Beriev A - 60 was a prototype laser laboratory of the Soviet Union as a counterpart of the U . S Air Force Airborne Laser Laboratory . The Beriev A - 60 was to be a laser cannon installed in a Ilyushin Il - 76 Candid , the A - 60s of the Soviet Air Force used a dummy ball instead of the laser cannon , as the Soviet / Russian laser programs had problems to fit in a rotary cannon . Other thing that should be noted is the Beriev A - 60 had a design similar to the Boeing YAL - 1 , aircraft made decades later . Description . Initiated by the Soviets as a parallel program to the US Air Force Airborne Laser Laboratory , the Almaz / Beriev A - 60 program aimed to demonstrate an airborne HEL DEW capability , and provide baseline data for the development of an operational weapon . The A - 60 was therefore a research testbed , even if an operational capability were to be later based on this design . Two demonstrators were built , the first flying in 1981 , the second in 1991 . Much of what is available from Russian open sources does not detail actual progress or achievements in this program . Observable design modifications to the Il - 76MD Candid host airframe include : # Nose mounted fairing for the installation of a steerable beam director turret ( curiously a similar arrangement to the much later Boeing YAL - 1 A design ) . All open source imagery shows a dummy optical beam director turret installation in the nose . Claims by Russian authors that the beam director was to be deployed from a dorsal hatch are impossible to reconcile with the unique ball turret shaping characteristic of a rotating and tilting beam director . Subject to basic design of the turret , this arrangement would provide at least hemispherical solid angle coverage , and possibly slightly more subject to turret tilt angle relative to the cylindrical fairing shroud . There have been no disclosures on the type of laser intended for the A - 60 , although given the concurrent effort by Almaz on the CO GDL for the ground based mobile point defence weapon , it is reasonable to assume the same design . The large exhaust port in the aft fuselage is consistent with a GDL or chemical laser . The current status of this program is not clear . At the end of the Cold War research funding collapsed for most advanced programs , but it is not known whether this project was mothballed or disbanded . If the Russian Air Force sought an airborne laser weapon then the A - 60 project would be a viable starting point .
