Siege of Constantinople ( 1422 ) The first full - scale Ottoman Siege of Constantinople took place in 1422 as a result of the Byzantine Emperor Manuel II ' s attempts to interfere in the succession of Ottoman Sultans , after the death of Mehmed I in 1421 . This policy of the Byzantines was often used successfully in weakening their neighbours . When Murad II emerged as the winning successor to his father , he marched into Byzantine territory . The Turks had acquired their own cannon for the first time by the siege of 1422 , " falcons " , which were short but wide cannon . The two sides were evenly matched technologically , and the Turks had to build barricades " in order to receive … the stones of the bombards . " The Byzantine defenders won the battle . Contemporary Byzantine tradition ascribed the deliverance of Constantinople to a miraculous intervention by the Theotokos . Aftermath . In spite of the Byzantine victory , the ' Empire ' at this time had in fact been reduced to a few disconnected strips of land besides the city of Constantinople itself . It was also facing grave economic problems and lacked soldiers . Pius II promoted the affordable donation of cannon by European monarchs as a means of aid . Any new cannons after the 1422 siege were gifts from European states , and aside from these no other advances were made to the Byzantine arsenal . As such , the next Ottoman leader , Mehmed II , would be successful in 1453 . Traditions . Byzantine accounts attributed the lifting of the siege to an apparition of the Theotokos upon the city walls , which greatly inspired the defenders . John Kananos records that :
Tête nucléaire océanique Tête nucléaire océanique ( TNO or oceanic nuclear warhead ) is a French thermonuclear warhead intended for use on the M 51 submarine - launched ballistic missile , that is being developed and built by the Division of Military Applications ( DAM ) at France ' s Commissariat à l ' énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives ( English : Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission ) . It will be carried on Triomphant - class submarine s . The TNO is intended to replace the currently deployed TN 75 warhead . Its commissioning is planned for 2015 , when France ' s newest submarines , either " Le Terrible or " Le Vigilant " , will be one of the first to carry the warhead . Yield . The TNO has a yield that is estimated to be greater than or equal to the yield of the TN 75 warhead , 150 kilotons of TNT ( kt ) . The warhead ' s charge is called " robust " : less optimized than the TN 75 but with an improved reliability and life - span . Development of the technology in the warhead has benefited from the final series of French nuclear tests conducted in 1995 - 1996 in Moruroa , French Polynesia . The warhead ' s design and functionality were ultimately validated through simulation , particularly with DAM ' s Tera 100 supercomputer , Megajoule laser , and radiographic equipment . Production of the TNO is estimated to be complete , although it is not yet in France ' s operational stockpile of nuclear weapons . Re - entry vehicle . The re - entry vehicle of the TNO is composed of a conical outer envelope with high performance thermal protection . It has been optimized for performance with the M 51 missile and enables precision on very long range atmospheric reentry trajectories . It also features advanced stealth .
