YF - 12 The Lockheed YF - 12 was a prototype interceptor Mach 3 + , based on project SR - 71 . Only three were built and only one remains today . The YF - 12A program was canceled at the end of 60 due to financial reasons . However , the remaining aircraft remained in service NASA until their final expulsion in 1979 . Description . The SR - 71 was the last in a series of aircraft that the famous Lockheed Skunk Works manufactured called the Blackbird Series ( excluding the current stealth aircraft ) . There was the original A11 , A12 , YF - 12A , M21 , and the SR - 71A , B and C . There was also a proposal to build a Blackbird Bomber ( designated B12 ) . Out of all of these aircraft the one that stands out is the Interceptor version of the Blackbirds called the YF12A . Lockheed Skunk Works manufactured three YF12A Interceptor aircraft . The design is basically the same as the SR - 71 . However , modifications were made to the photo bays to accept the AIM - 47 missiles ; a cockpit was added to accommodate the Fire Control Officer ; two ventral fins were added under each nacelle and a folding stabilizer fin was added under the centerline of the aircraft . The YF12A carried three GAR9 / AIM - 47 missiles which could carry a 250 kT nuclear warhead . The YF - 12A nose is rounded to accommodate the Hughes ASG - 18 Radar and Fire Control System . The ASG - 18 was a combination of long range radar and infrared search sensors along with a precision radar coupled to the infrared tracking system . Range of the trackers was estimated at 200 to 300 miles giving the YF - 12A unprecedented ability to track and destroy enemy aircraft . During testing of the YF - 12A , seven known missile firings occurred . These were conducted with the YF12A flying at Mach 2 . 0 or faster and the target drone aircraft flying at 40 , 000 feet or lower altitude . Features . The YF - 12 Blackbird was fabricated of over 93 % ( structural weight ) of titanium alloys to allow it to withstand skin temperatures of over 500 degrees Fahrenheit . It had the ability to carry three AIM - 47A long range AAMs and could fly at mach 3 for substained periods . Pre - production version . Three were built Variants .

Operation Big Operation Big was a task force which was part of the overarching Allied effort ( called Operation Alsos ) to capture German nuclear secrets during the final days of World War II . Worried that French forces might beat the US to Werner Heisenberg ' s laboratory in Hechingen , Boris T . Pash hastily organized a flying column of Sixth Army combat engineers ( " Task Force A " ) . His team reached Horb three days later and headed for Haigerloch while the French troops occupied themselves with looking for members of the Vichy Government in nearby Sigmaringen . Pash and his engineers , accompanied by General Eugene Harrison , the Sixth Army Group ' s Chief of Intelligence , overran Haigerloch on 23 April 1945 . In a laboratory in a cellar they found a German experimental nuclear reactor whose vessel was empty of uranium and heavy water . A few drums of heavy water were later found in the laboratory ' s main chamber and a German scientist told Pash that the reactor ' s uranium cubes had been concealed beneath hay in a nearby barn . Pash subsequently had the empty reactor blown up . The task force then proceeded to Hechingen where they found and detained Erich Bagge , Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker , Max von Laue , and Karl Wirtz , then went on to Tailfingen where they arrested Otto Hahn . Werner Heisenberg , who had left Hechingen on 19 April , was captured by Pash and a small force at his home in Urfeld , on 3 May 1945 . Pash concluded that the German nuclear program had been years behind the Manhattan Project and that there was no possibility of them mounting any form of last - ditch nuclear attack . He called it " probably the most significant single piece of military intelligence developed during the war " .

Steyr SSG 69 The SSG 69 ( " Scharfschützengewehr 69 " = Sniper Rifle 69 ) is a bolt - action sniper rifle produced by Steyr Mannlicher and serves as the standard sniper rifle for the Austrian Army . Adopted in 1969 ( hence the designation ) , it was ahead of its time with the use of synthetics and cold hammer - forged barrels for durability . The SSG - 69 is the Austrian Army ' s standard issue sniper rifle . The SSG - 69 is also used by several law enforment organizations . The SSG is extremely accurate and several international competitions have been won using an SSG - 69 with accuracy being sub 0 . 5 MOA . There are several variants made with mostly cosmetic differences , the only anomaly being the SSG - PIV using a 409 mm barrel with a 1 : 250 mm ( 1 : 10 inches ) twist designed to handle heavy subsonic ammunition . The bolt action uses rear - locking ( in common with the SMLE ) , rather than the more common front - locking lugs . This , and the fact that it is only produced in the ' short action ' length limits the chambering to non - magnum calibres , a legacy of a military weapon designed only to fire the 7 . 62x51mm NATO cartridge . It is essentially a target / police / military weapon , however with its caliber and inherent accuracy , it lends itself to hunting requiring longer distance shots . An unusual feature is the standard rotary 5 - round magazine . A 10 - round staggered box is available as an accessory . Both are transparent - backed , immediately showing remaining capacity .
