Battle of Pollilur ( 1780 ) The Battle of Pollilur , also known as the Battle of Polilore or Battle of Perambakam , took place on 10 September 1780 at Pollilur near the city of Kanchipuram in present - day Tamil Nadu state , India as part of the Second Anglo - Mysore War . It was waged between two forces commanded by Tipu Sultan of the Kingdom of Mysore , and Colonel William Baille of the British East India Company . The army of the East India Company surrendered and suffered a high number of casualties . It was the worst loss the British suffered on the subcontinent until Chillianwala . Aftermath . Baille and many of his officers were captured and taken to the Mysore capital at Srirangapattana . After British reinforcements from Calcutta arrived , Eyre Coote was able to stabilise the situation and counter - attack . A second battle was fought a year later in the same area where Coote defeated Haider Ali ' s forces . Rockets . The Mysore rockets used during the battle were much more advanced than the British East India Company had previously seen , chiefly because of the use of iron tubes for holding the propellant ; this enabled higher thrust and longer range for the missile ( up to 2 km range ) . After Tipu Sultan ' s eventual defeat in the Fourth Anglo - Mysore War and the capture of the Mysore iron rockets , they were influential in British rocket development , inspiring the Congreve rocket , which was soon put into use in the Napoleonic Wars .

Battle of Bhopal The Battle of Bhopal was fought on 24 December 1737 in Bhopal between the Maratha Empire and the combined army of Mughals and their allies ( Rajput s of Amber ) . Background . The Mughal emperor was alarmed by Maratha conquests . In 1737 , the Marathas entered Delhi and defeated Mughals . The Mughal emperor asked Nizam and Rajputs for rescue . The Nizam left Hyderabad with a massive force and the combined army of Nizam and Rajputs clashed with Marathas near Bhopal . Battle . The battle was fought between the Maratha Empire and Mughal forces led by Nizam of Hyderabad near Bhopal in India in December 1737 , and was arguably the largest pitched battle fought in India in the 18th century . The battle resulted in decisive Maratha victory mainly through the swift tactics of Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao . The Mughal Empire was left in a wrecked position and was unable to face the later invasion of Nadir Shah . The Rajput army included Sawai Raja Jai Singh ' s forces under his son Iswari Singh and Diwan Raja Ayamal , and Badan Singh ' s forces under his son Pratap Singh . Later , on 7 January 1738 , a peace treat was signed between Peshwa Bajirao and Jai Singh at village Doraha near Bhopal .
Wada Yoshimori He was the son of Miura Yoshiaki and grandson of Sugimoto Yoshimune , making him a descendant of the Heike . Among his sons were Wada Yoshinao , Asahina Yoshihide , and Wada Yoshishige . He also had a nephew , Wada Tanenaga . He fought in the battles of Ichi - no - Tani ( 1184 ) and Dannoura ( 1185 ) and participated in the campaign against Kiso Yoshinaka ( 1184 ) and Fujiwara Yasuhira ( 1189 ) . Like many others , he and his family became victims of the struggle for power that followed the death of the first Kamakura shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo . Tension had been growing between the Hōjō Regents and Wada , and open war started when Wada Yoshinao , Wada Yoshishige and Wada Tanenaga were accused of conspiracy and arrested . Yoshimori , who was in Kazusa , returned to Kamakura and managed to free his two sons . Tanenaga was however detained and exiled to Mutsu province . War ensued ( the so - called ) and in 1213 he was defeated and killed together with his family . The Wada are traditionally supposed to be buried in the Wadazuka Mound in Kamakura , however this is only an unproven theory born after excavations " in situ " during the Meiji period .
Heckler & Koch HK36 The HK36 was an experimental assault rifle introduced by Heckler & Koch in the early 1970s . At the time , research in small - caliber military cartridges had become more popular thanks to the United States ' adoption and combat use of the M16 and its 5 . 56 mm round . The HK36 rifle fired a 4 . 6×36 mm round whose bullet has a " spoon point " ( German : " Löffelspitz " ) designed by CETME ' s Dr . Gunther Voss . Low bullet weight and the straight - line layout of the rifle reduced recoil , while the high velocity of the round gave it an almost flat trajectory out to , which was also the limit of its effective range . Beyond that point , the bullet lost velocity very quickly . Operation . The HK36 used H & K ' s delayed blowback system , with a four - position selector switch for the firing mode . In order from top to bottom , these were safe ( marked " 0 " ) , single - shot ( " 1 " ) , full - automatic ( " 25 " or " 30 " ) and controlled burst ( " 3 " ) — however , the weapon was intended to be available with 2 - , 3 - , 4 - or 5 - round burst mode . Ejection of empty cartridge cases was to the right , while the bolt remained open once all ammunition had been expended . Magazine . Early versions of the weapon had a standard detachable box magazine made from stamped metal . The method of reloading for the later prototypes was an unusual departure from modern systems , being intended to reduce weight along with eliminating the handling of individual rounds . The rifle had a metal box mounted permanently below the receiver , in front of the trigger guard ; this magazine had a side - opening " door " through which a pre - packaged box of 30 cartridges could be inserted once a knob on the rifle had been pulled down . The box had an open top and bottom , closed by tape , so that the magazine follower could push the rounds up into the rifle during firing . Variants . As mentioned , early models used a conventional detachable box magazine while later versions had the integral one . In addition , most of the rifles appear to have been fitted with a telescoping stock of a completely different type than that fitted to most other Heckler & Koch weapons ( such as the G3 and MP5 ) , but some are known with a fixed , plastic stock . Legacy . Despite never being accepted for military service , the rifle was notable for introducing the three - round burst concept and integrated optics to Heckler & Koch weapons . The various innovations gave H & K some interesting ideas for the future , which have resurfaced in the Heckler & Koch MP7 PDW and G36 rifle .
Aleysk ( air base ) Aleysk is an air base in Altai Krai , Russia located 6 km west of Aleysk .

During the 1970s or 1980s it was home to 812 IAP ( 812th Interceptor Aviation Regiment ) flying MiG - 23 MLD aircraft . Station history . The Aleysk area was once the home to a division of the Strategic Rocket Forces , the 41st Guards Lvovsko - Berlinskaya orders of Kutuzov and Bogdan Khmelnitskiy Missile Division which the 812 IAP may have been designated to protect . There were 30 silos for RS - 20 / SS - 18 ' Satan ' ICBMs in the area , but from late 2000 through 2002 , the silos were destroyed in accordance with US / Soviet arms reduction treaties . The process was managed by US Government contractors under the Nunn - Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program and observed / verified by United States Air Force representatives according to START I elimination requirements . The final regiment went off duty on 31 August 2001 , and the Division was disbanded on 1 December 2001 . The SRF ' s Aleysk military garrison area , which included housing , a school , three kindergartens , a swimming pool , and a large amount of other equipment , is now home to the 122nd Motor Rifle Division of the Siberian Military District ' s Ground Forces .

Fort Popham Fort Popham is a coastal defense land battery at the mouth of the Kennebec River in Phippsburg , Maine . It is located in sight of the short - lived Popham Colony and , like the colony , named for George Popham , the colony ' s leader . During the American Revolution a minor fortification stood on this site ; in 1808 the federal government built a small battery derisively known as an " embargo fort " on this location as part of the second system of fortifications that guarded the coast . It remained manned until 1815 and saw minor action during the War of 1812 . Construction of Fort Popham was authorized in 1857 but did not begin until 1861 . The fort was built from granite blocks quarried on nearby Fox and Dix islands . It had a - high wall facing the mouth of the Kennebec River and was built in a crescent shape , measuring approximately in circumference . Fort Popham ' s armament consisted of 36 Rodman gun and some 10 inch Parrott rifle arranged in two tiers of vaulted casements . One of the Rodman gun was donated to the town of Bowdoinham to remember its soldiers who died in the civil war . The cannon is still there . A single Parrott rifle sits near the fort grounds . The back side of Fort Popham was built with a low moated curtain containing a central gate and 20 musket ports . In 1869 construction at Fort Popham stopped before the fortification was completed . The fort was garrisoned again after additional work was performed during the Spanish - American War and World War I . Construction of Fort Baldwin on the headland above Fort Popham began in 1905 with longer - range guns , which eventually rendered Fort Popham obsolete . The fort , located two miles ( 3 km ) from popular Popham Beach State Park , is open to the public as Fort Popham State Historic Site . It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Fort Popham Memorial on October 1 , 1969 , reference number 69000012 . Further reading .
