Siege of Ochakov ( 1788 ) The Second Siege of Özü ( now in Ukraine ) was one of the major events of the Russo - Turkish War ( 1787 – 1792 ) . It was known as " Özü Kuşatması " in Turkish . Russian forces led by Prince Grigori Potemkin and general Alexander Suvorov besieged the city , controlled by the Ottoman army under the command of Hasan Pasha , in 1788 . Despite Suvorov ' s urging to storm the city immediately , Potemkin kept the Russian forces encircling Özü ( Ochakov ) , bombarding the city with cannons and cutting off the defenders ' supply of food and ammunition . Having kept his soldiers out of direct battle , Potemkin was able to minimize Russian casualties , though he was accused by his Generals of cowardice . The argument about storming continued in the Russian headquarters during the entirety of the siege . Also , Russians captured strategically important Pirezin Island on July 18 , 1788 . The Turks made several attempts to break the siege . On July 27 , about 5 , 000 janissaries attacked positions of the Russian Cossak squad and forced it to retreat . Suvorov personally led reinforcements and chased janissaries to the Özü gates , but was injured . Hassan - pasha expected reinforcements from the Turkish fleet , gathering in Limans , but after the attack of Admiral Senyavin ' s fleet , Turkish reinforcements were cut off . The condition of both armies continued to decline , there was a threat of epidemic , and the weather was growing very cold . Potemkin ultimately gave in to Suvorov ' s arguments . On the night of December 17 ( December 6 by Julian Calendar ) , the Russians struck and captured Hassan - pasha ' s palace , forcing its guards to surrender . About 4 , 000 Turks were taken prisoners , including Hassan Pasha himself , but most of the city garrison was massacred in the street fight . The Russian victory was glorified in a famous ode by Gavriil Derzhavin , and in a Te Deum by Giuseppe Sarti .

The works lasted some 15 years . In origin the castle - palace was provided with a large moat , with a rivelin at the main entrance , sporting the heraldic symbols of the House of Malatesta . The walls were thought to be thick enough to bear the struck from the new artillery pieces appearing in Europe in that period . Although originally positioned externally from the city , it has no towers facing that side : all towers are in fact oriented towards city . These towers are square , and once housed a bronze cannon each . The central part of the castled was the residence of the prince , with rooms decorated with tapestries , curtains and frescoes . Also the exterior should be decorated , as it is suggested by the few maiolica tiles visible at the Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta died here in 1468 . In 1821 the castle was turned into barracks for the local Carabinieri . Five years later , the external walls were demolished and the moat filled .

Focke - Achgelis Fa 330 The Focke - Achgelis FA 330 " Bachstelze " ( ) was a type of rotary - wing kite , known as a gyroglider or rotor kite . They were towed behind German U - boat s during World War II to allow a lookout to see farther . Development . Because of their low profile in the water , submarines could not see more than a few miles over the ocean . To solve this , the German admiralty considered a number of different options , including a folding seaplane ( Arado Ar 231 ) . In the end , they chose the FA 330 , a simple , single - seater , autogyro kite with a three - bladed rotor . The FA 330 could be deployed to the deck of the submarine by two people and was tethered to the U - boat by a 150 m ( 500 ft ) cable . The airflow on the rotors as the boat motored along on the surface would spin them up . The kite would then be deployed behind the U - boat with its observer - pilot aboard , raising him approximately 120 meters above the surface and allowing him to see much farther — about 25 nautical miles ( 46 km ) , compared to the 5 nautical miles ( 9 km ) visible from the conning tower of the U - boat . If the U - boat captain were forced to abandon it on the surface , the tether would be released and the FA 330 descend slowly to the water . When not in use , the FA 330 was stowed in two watertight compartments aft of the conning tower . Recovering , dismantling , and stowing the FA 330 took approximately 20 minutes and was a difficult operation . Operational history . As Allied air cover in other theatres of the war was considered too much of a threat , only U - boats operating in the far southern parts of the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean used the FA 330 . Despite its advantages , the use of the FA 330 only resulted in a single sinking when " U - 177 " used one to spot , intercept and sink the Greek steamer " Efthalia Mari " on 6 August 1943 . The Allies came into possession of an FA 330 in May 1944 when they captured the submarine " U - 852 " intact . After the war , the British government did successful experiments towing FA 330s behind ships and jeeps , but the development of the helicopter quickly occupied the attention of the military . U - boats that deployed FA 330 kites included at least " U - 177 " , " U - 181 " , and " U - 852 " . Survivors . Several FA 330s are on public display including :
