Dahr al - Wahsh Dahr al - Wahsh ( also spelled Dahr al - Wahch ) is a village in Lebanon , located to the east of Beirut . It has received attention as the site of an October , 1990 conflict termed the " Dahr al - Wahsh massacre " by Middle - East studies professor Mordechai Nisan . Interpretation and description of the event varies according to source . In 2000 , the Lebanese militia Guardians of the Cedars released a statement which included the following description of the event : The people of the village of Dahr al _ Wahch saw Syrian soldiers push a column of Lebanese prisoners who were walking in their shorts towards some unknown destination . A nun , a nurse at the governmental hospital of Baabda , saw the arrival of corpses and of the Red Cross ambulances . " I counted between 75 and 80 , she explained . Most of them had a bullet in the back of their heads or in their mouth . The corpses still carried the mark of cords around their wrists . " The rigidity of the corpses fixed their crossed arms behind their backs . They were naked , wearing only shorts . Some ten of them had their eyes gouged out , another ten had an arm or leg cut off . All had been shot in their heads . There can be no doubt about their execution . The Hraoui government announced that there had been no massacres . Izzat Nweilati , in a paper published by the journal of the Syrian Human Rights Committee , describes the event as the result of a miscommunication , when Lebanese forces at Dahr al - Wahsh did not receive cease - fire orders from Michel Aoun and so attacked Syrian troops who were crossing a landmine field . With 150 of their own killed , the Syrians retaliated against the Lebanese for deviating against the " rules of war " . Newilati , who indicates that then Defense Minister of Lebanon Albert Mansour described the event as a " double massacre " , states that the corpses he found a day after the event had been " shot in the head while their hands were tied to their backs " , most unclothed . Lebanese - born Walid Phares of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies posits that the Lebanese attacked the Syrians as a matter of choice , refusing to surrender to Syrian invasion . He describes the battle as an " illustrious episode " in " a short war with terrorism " , following which the Syrians tortured and executed soldiers and civilians as an act of revenge .

Line of communication A line of communication ( or communications ) is the route that connects an operating military unit with its supply base . Supplies and reinforcements are transported along the line of communication . Therefore , a secure and open line of communication is vital for any military force to continue to operate effectively . Prior to the advent of the use of telegraph and radio in warfare , lines of communication were also the routes used by despatch rider s on horseback and runners to convey and deliver orders and battle updates to and from unit commanders and headquarters . Thus , a unit whose lines of communication were compromised was vulnerable to becoming isolated and defeated , as the means for requesting reinforcements and resupply is lost . The standard military abbreviation is LOC or SLOC for Sea line of communication or ALOC for Air line of communication . The interdiction of supplies and reinforcements to units closer to the front lines is therefore an important strategic goal for opposing forces . Some notable examples : Notes . a line of communication can also refers to a civilian management ( corporations lines of communication )

Beriev A - 50 The Beriev A - 50 ( NATO reporting name " Mainstay " ) is a Soviet - built airborne early warning ( AEW ) aircraft based on the Ilyushin Il - 76 transport . Developed to replace the Tupolev Tu - 126 " Moss " , the A - 50 first flew in 1978 . It entered service in 1984 , with about 40 produced by 1992 . Description . The mission personnel of the 15 - man crew derive data from the large Liana surveillance radar with its antenna in an over - fuselage rotordome , which has a diameter of 29 ft 9 in ( 9 . 00 m ) . The A - 50 can control up to 10 fighter aircraft for either air - to - air intercept or air - to - ground attack missions . The A - 50 is capable of flying for 4 hours at 1000 km from its base at a maximum takeoff weight of 190 tons . The aircraft can be refuelled by Il - 78 tankers . The radar " Vega - M " is designed by MNIIP , Moscow , and produced by NPO Vega . The " Vega - M " is capable of tracking up to 50 targets simultaneously within 230 kilometers . Large targets , like surface ships , can be tracked at a distance of 400 km . After completing State Joint Tests , Beriev has delivered the first upgraded Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft to the Russian Air Force . The aircraft , ' 47 Red ' / RF - 92957 was handed over at Beriev ' s facility in Taganrog on October 31 , 2011 . It was accepted by an air crew serving with the 2457th Aviabaza Boevogo Primeneniya Samolotov Dalnego Radiolokatsionnogo Obnaruzheniya ( Aviation Base for Combat Operation of Airborne Early Warning Aircraft ) at Ivanovo Severny , which is the only base using the A - 50 operationally . The 2457th operates 16 aircraft . A second aircraft , ' 33 Red ' is getting upgraded and is due for delivery in 2012 . These are the only two production upgrades ordered to date ( January 2012 ) , but Beriev anticipates further orders . Development work on the A - 50U commenced some years agoand State Tests started on September 10 , 2008 , using Russian Air Force A - 50 ' 37 Red ' as a prototype . The main element of the modernisation involves replacing the outdated analogue equipment with a new , digital avionics suite supplied by Russia ' s Vega Radio Engineering Corporation JSC . Notable improvements include : faster data processing , enhanced signal tracking and improved target detection . Crew rest , toilet and galley facilities are also included in the upgrade . These upgrades form the basis of the concept for a new production aircraft , based on the Il - 476 airframe ( new built Il - 76MD with PS - 90A76 engines ) . Configuration will be similar to the A - 50U , but with a new Vega Premier active phased array radar . See also . Related development : Ilyushin Il - 76 , KJ - 2000 Comparable aircraft : E - 3 Sentry
Capture of Saint Martin ( 1633 ) Part of the Eighty Years ' War , the Capture of Saint Martin was a Spanish naval expedition against the island of Saint Martin occupied by the Dutch Republic and administered as part of the Dutch Antilles . The island , claimed by Spain since Christopher Columbus ' second voyage to the West Indies in 1493 , lies a few hundred miles east of Puerto Rico . The capture eliminated the presence of Dutch privateer s in the island , weakening Dutch privateering and commerce in the Caribbean . Action . The Spanish reconnaissance revealed that Dutch settlers had a 22 - gun fortress covering Sint Maarten ' s approaches , so admiral Cadereyta sent an emissary ashore from the Spanish flagship " Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu " , to demand the garrison ' s surrender . Approximately 150 Dutch defenders and 40 black auxiliaries under Jan Claeszoon van Campen rejected Cadereyta ' s overture .

Musket fire halted them , with de Hoces receiving a crippling wound in his left elbow and side . The Spaniards inaugurated formal siege proceedings , bringing ashore four heavier guns to install in a battery , and then launched another 100 - man assault the night of 28 June during which the veteran naval captain Tiburcio Redín was injured . Aftermath . On 1 July , a badly wounded van Campen and his 62 Dutch and 15 black survivors requested terms for their surrender , which were granted . Cadereyta occupied the fortress the next day , deciding to keep it for Spain and strengthen its defenses by adding four 24 - pounders , four 18 - pound demi - culverins , and five 12 - to ten - pounders to its armament , plus a permanent garrison of 250 Spanish soldiers and 50 auxiliaries under Captain Cebrián de Lizarazu . The Spanish fleet then sailed to San Juan de Puerto Rico , arriving with its prisoners and three Dutch prize ships on 13 July . The Spaniards allowed all inhabitants to leave , hoisted the Spanish flag and read a Holy mass of Gratitude in the fort .
