Doru Davidovici Doru Davidovici ( 1945 – 1989 ) , was an aviator and writer . Born in Romania in a Jewish family , Doru Davidovici became one of the most loved Romanian fiction writers in the 1980s . During the communist years , his books gave an unusual sense of liberty and new horizons by describing the experience of flying , and the closeness it forged - both between pilots , and between pilots and their machines . The plane is seen by Davidovici not simply as a machine that enables one to fly but as an actual character , with its own personality and almost with its own soul . His work is influenced by writers like Ray Bradbury , Radu Tudoran and Bertolt Brecht . The titles include " The Horses of Voroneţ " ( 1974 ) , " The Colour of the Sky " ( 1981 ) , " Silver Wings " ( 1983 ) and " Rise and Walk " ( 1989 ) . Keeping a sense of proportion , it is reasonable to draw a parallel between Davidovici and the French aviator and writer Antoine de Saint Exupéry . They both found a source of literary inspiration in their profession , and they both died , at about the same age , flying a fighter plane . Beside his narrative work , Doru Davidovici is known for his essay on the UFO s , " My colleagues from the unknown " . Here Davidovici regards , once again through his pilot eyes , the UFOs and the issues raised by their presumed existence . Doru Davidovici lost his life together with Dumitru Petra on 20 April 1989 during landing procedures while flying his MiG - 21 from a training flight back home to RoAF 86th Air Base .
DEFA cannon The DEFA cannon ( " Direction des Études et Fabrications d ' Armement " ) is a family of widely used French - made aircraft revolver cannon s firing the standard 30 mm caliber NATO rounds . Design history . The initial DEFA 551 was developed in the late 1940s . It was based on the German Mauser MG 213 C , an experimental revolver cannon developed for the Luftwaffe . The MG 213 never reached production , but inspired the DEFA , the very similar British ADEN cannon , and the smaller American M39 cannon . As the DEFA 552 it entered production in 1954 . In 1968 an upgraded version , Canon 550 - F3 , was developed , entering production in 1971 as the DEFA 553 . The new version provided a new feed system , nitro - chrome plated steel barrel , forged drum casing , and improved electrical reliability . Overview . The DEFA 553 is a gas - operated five - chamber revolver cannon using pyrotechnic cocking and electrical ignition . It fires a range of 30 mm ammunition in various types , and is capable of continuous fire or of 0 . 5 - second or 1 - second bursts . The 553 was superseded by the DEFA 554 , which incorporates a number of detail improvements . The DEFA 554 uses three , rather than two , of the chambers for reloading , increasing rate of fire . Barrel life and mechanical reliability are improved , and an electrical control unit now allows the pilot to select two rates of fire : 1 , 800 rounds per minute for air - to - air use or 1 , 200 rounds per minute for air - to - ground attacks . The 554 also provides three pyrotechnic cartridges rather than one , allowing the pilot to cock the weapon only after take - off while still having two cartridges to recock in flight . Deployment . The DEFA 550 series was the standard cannon armament of all gun - armed French fighters from 1954 until the advent of the Dassault Rafale in the 1980s . A pair of these weapons , with 125 – 135 rounds per gun , is standard fit on the Dassault MD 450 Ouragan , Dassault Mystere , Mirage III / V , Dassault Étendard and Dassault Super Étendard , Sud Aviation Vautour , Mirage F1 , French SEPECAT Jaguar s , and the Mirage 2000 series . It was also used on the Israeli A - 4E / F / H / N Skyhawk , IAI Nesher , IAI Kfir , and IAI Lavi , the Italian Aeritalia G91Y and Aermacchi MB - 326K , the Indonesia n A - 4 , and the South African Atlas Cheetah and Impala Mk . II . Various gun pod installations are available from CASA , Dassault Aviation , and Matra . The DEFA 550 is very similar to the British ADEN cannon , and can use the same ammunition . The DEFA 550 series has now given way to the GIAT 30 series used on the Rafale , although it is likely to remain in widespread use for many years to come .

Mesopotamian military strategy and tactics The Mesopotamian Civilization had a surprisingly adept grasp of tactics . In fact , they are the first confirmed users of the shield wall tactic later made famous as the Roman " testudo formation " . It is unknown who first developed this tactic , but it is thought to have been developed somewhere between 2500 BC and 2000 BC . Another Mesopotamian tactic involved small , well - disciplined ( for the time ) spear man formations . Armed with javelins , they were the first effective missile troops , as shown during their war against the Hittites in around 2000 BC . These missile units were later idealized in the famous epic poem " The Siege of Damascus . " So , by around 1700 BC , the Mesopotamian battle formation consisted of the shield wall and short - sword armed sliders in front , and the missile troops behind , with charioteers on the flanks . These formations served the Mesopotamians well for many years , but were eventually outclassed by slingers and archers . In each race that thrived in Mesopotamia , military and defensive tactics differ . The Sumerians invented the horse - drawn chariot with lighter wheels , allowing quick maneuvering and evasion in the battlefield . Akkadians and Babylonians focused on their military power because of constant threats from neighboring tribes and kingdoms . Amidst all this , however , the Assyrians were one of the most successful military kingdoms . They were one of the first to produce iron weapons , which became essential to every army .
