Battle of Tarbat The Battle of Tarbat was a Scottish clan battle fought in the 1480s on the Tarbat peninsula , in Easter Ross . The Clan Ross cornered a raiding party of Clan Mackay near the village of Portmahomack and put many of them to the sword . The survivors sought sanctuary in the nearby church but the Rosses set fire to it , killing all inside . The Mackays took revenge for this outrage in the subsequent Battle of Aldy Charrish . It should not be confused with the Battle of Tarbat Ness in the 11th century , when Thorfinn the Mighty defeated " Karl Hundason " , possibly a Viking name for Macbeth . Background . The second half of the 15th century had seen a series of raids by the Mackays of Strathnaver on the Rosses of Balnagown . Finally the Rosses gathered their forces to attack the invaders who were led by Angus Roy Mackay of Strathnaver , son of Neil " Bass " Mackay . The exact date of the battle is uncertain , other than it happened before the Battle of Aldy Charrish , which documentary evidence dates to either July 1487 or June 1486 . The date most commonly cited for events at Tarbat is 1486 , but all that can be said is that it was probably some time in the 1480s . Battle . The Rosses appear to have encountered the Mackay raiding party on the Tarbat peninsula , where they were " fiercely attacked " . It appears that many Mackays were killed before they sought shelter in the Tarbat church . More were apparently killed before the church was set on fire . Angus Roy MacKay was among those killed . As a poem put it : Archaeology supports this story . Archaeologists have been investigating the Tarbat Old Church at Portmahomack for evidence of a major monastery largely destroyed around 800AD . While the target of this presumed Viking raid has attracted most attention , a new church was built on the site in the 13th century . This " Church 4 " apparently suffered a major fire during the Middle Ages . Fire has scorched the sandstone of the internal walling to a bright orange , even in the crypt , and charcoal from possible roof timbers or thatch was found in the nave near the crypt entrance . Aftermath . John ( Iain ) Riabhach Mackay avenged his father ' s death by invading the Ross lands with the help of Clan Sutherland in 1487 . This raid culminated in the Battle of Aldy Charrish at the head of the Kyle of Sutherland which saw Alexander Ross of Balnagowan and many of his kinsmen slaughtered . The Clan Ross never really recovered from this defeat .
And you are lynching Negroes " And you are lynching Negroes " ( , translit . " A u vas negrov linchuyut " ; " but at your place Negroes are being lynched " ) is an anecdotal counter - argument phrase , which fully represents the " tu quoque " arguments used by the Soviet Union in response to allegations that it had violated human rights . The phrase refers to racial discrimination and lynching in the United States . Origin . The use of the phrase as a reference to demagoguery and hypocrisy is traced to a Russian political joke , about a dispute between an American and a Soviet man . There were numerous versions of the quip . In a 1962 version , an American and a Soviet car salesman argue which country makes better cars . Finally , the American asks : " How many decades does it take an average Soviet man to earn enough money to buy a Soviet car ? " After a thoughtful pause , the Soviet replies : " And you are lynching Negroes ! " The Soviet media frequently covered stories of racial discrimination in the west , as well as reporting on the impacts of unemployment and financial crises , which were seen as inherent problems of the capitalist system . The US ' long history of lynching parties and racial tension was seen as a skeleton in the closet for the country , which was exploited by the Soviet Union to point out hypocrisy when being reproached with alleged human rights violation s , primarily during the Stalinist period , but also afterwards . Variants . Similar phrases are used in the languages of Eastern Europe , in different variants .
FLORAKO FLORAKO is a Swiss radar system for military and civil aviation . The acronym stands for Florida radar replacement air radar system capable communication system ( in German : Florida Radarersatz Radarluftlagesystem Kommunikationssystem ) in the initial phase of the project meant the name FLORES RALUS KOMSYS and emerged from the project name of the sub - systems Procurement . The FLORAKO System was Introduced on the 2nd February 2004 by the Swiss Air Force . It replaces the older FLORIDA Airspace monitoring and management system , which dated back from the 1960s . The acquisition costs amounted to approximately 728 million Swiss francs . The four radar sites Mount Pilatus Scopi , Weisshorn and Weissfluh are classified and therefore not publicly available . Supplier of the system was Thales Raytheon Systems , a joint venture between Raytheon Company and Thales Group . Thales Raytheon Systems was also involved of the further expansion of the system that was delivered in 2008 and still carrie out further upgrades of the system . Technology . The FLORAKO radar system is used for air defense . It consists of an air surveillance radar in semiconductor technology , and a secondary radar subsystem for simulation . The 3D objective FLORAKO provides real - time information , correlated with the secondary radar data over a wide detection area . The FLORAKO constantly working with 15 Rpm rotating phased array antenna . At least one of these Command , Control , and Communications ( C3 ) facilities is always connected to the Air Defense & Direction Center ( the ADDC or air ops center ) at Dübendorf and fully operational on - line on a 24 / 7 basis , controlling Swiss airspace . Depending on the international situation , more facilities will be manned up ; in case of crisis or war ( ADDC and 4 facilities operational ) the coverage will be extended far beyond the Swiss boundaries . Each of these AirOps facilities is capable of making all battle management decisions in case the ADDC or the other AirOps facilities might be eliminated . Operational lifetime of this hi - tech system is guaranteed by its manufacturers for at least 25 years . The system consists of : The radar system may eventually be completed by mobile TAFLIR ( TAktische FLIeger Radars - Tactical Flight Radars ) . These Ground Master 200 type AN / MPQ - 64 radars are a variant of the Northrop Grumman AN / TPS - 75 and are deployable in areas of difficult terrain or where specific coverage is needed . Peacetime TAFLIR deployment locations are at Dübendorf and Emmen . In time of crisis or at war they can be deployed anywhere . The FLORAKO is a modified version of the requirements for Swiss radars Master A and Master M from Thales . In addition to the data of the FLORAKO radar stations and the data of the mobile TAFLIR radars and civil Skyguide radar data can be fed into the FLORAKO system . The armasuisse , an interpendet branch of the MoD , operates a special equipped Pilatus PC - 12 with the civil immatriculation HB - FOG to calibrate the radars , MIDS Link - 16 and Radiocomunication of the FLORAKO system .

Wei ( rank ) Wei ( 尉 ) is the rank held by company - grade officer s in the military of both the People ' s Republic of China and the Republic of China . It currently exists in three grades , " shao wei " ( 少尉 ) , " zhong wei " ( 中尉 ) ( " chung wei " using Wade – Giles ) , and " shang wei " ( 上尉 ) . An additional grade , " da wei " ( 大尉 ) , formerly existed in the People ' s Liberation Army , during the period 1955 - 1965 . However when the use of rank and insignia was restored in 1988 , this rank was not re - established . As opposed to the Western tradition of using different names for equivalent ranks in the army and navy , Chinese armed forces use the same rank names for all services , prefixed in the case of the PLA by " hai jun " ( 海军 ) ( naval force ) or " kong jun " ( 空军 ) ( air force ) .

Thomas Seinbeck ' s " In the Shade of the Cypress " ( published 2010 ) is a historical novel whose main character is Zhou Man . In his book " 1421 : The Year China Discovered the World " , amateur historian Gavin Menzies argues that Zhou Man built a fortess at Bittangabee Bay Australia and that his fleet approached and mapped the Pacific coast of North America and may have been wiped out by a megatsunami resulting from a comet impact creating Mahuika crater . The Australian geographer Professor Victor Prescott states that the structure at Bittangabee is considered by local archaeologists to be early 19th century and that Menzies misinterpreted the Waldseemüller map which he used as evidence for a visit by Zhou Man to the Americas .
468th Strategic Fighter Squadron The 468th Strategic Fighter Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit .

Sixth Siege of Gibraltar The Sixth Siege of Gibraltar in 1411 was the only occasion on which control of Gibraltar was contested between two Islamic powers . After the failed Fifth Siege of Gibraltar in 1349 – 50 , which ended with the death of King Alfonso XI of Castile from bubonic plague , the Kingdom of Castile was preoccupied with the Castilian Civil War and its aftermath . In 1369 , Sultan Muhammed V of Granada took advantage of the Castilians ' distractions and in the Siege of Algeciras ( 1369 ) he seized the city of Algeciras , on the west side of the Bay of Gibraltar , which Alfonso XI had captured in 1344 . After razing it to the ground he made peace with Henry II , the winner of the civil war . The truce was renewed by Henry ' s successors John I and Henry III . At some point during the truces , control of Gibraltar was transferred from the Marinid dynasty of Morocco , which had held it since 1333 , to the Granadans . It is not clear why this happened ; it may have been as a condition of the Granadans assisting the Marinids against rebels in Morocco . In February 1407 , the truce between the Christian and Islamic kingdoms collapsed during the reign of the infant John II as the result of a minor skirmish . A Castilian fleet put to sea and inflicted a major defeat on the Moors in the Strait of Gibraltar . The rulers of Granada and Morocco met at Gibraltar and agreed to sue for a fresh truce , but relations between the two Islamic states soon broke down amid disagreements between their rulers . The garrison of Gibraltar rebelled in 1410 against the Granadan ruler , Yusuf III , and declared allegiance to Abu Said Uthman III of Morocco . Abu Said Uthman III sent his brother , Abu Said , to take charge with an army numbering some 1 , 000 cavalry and 2 , 000 infantry . They occupied a number of castles in the area as well as the ports of Estepona and Marbella . A Granadan counter - offensive in 1411 drove Abu Said back to Gibraltar , where he took refuge . Yusuf III ' s son Ahmad laid siege to Gibraltar and defeated several Moroccan attempts to break out . Eventually a Granadan sympathiser in the garrison helped the besiegers to gain entrance . They stormed the Moorish Castle , forcing Abu Said to surrender , and restored Granadan control over Gibraltar . Back in Morocco , Abu Said Uthman III reacted by writing to Yusuf III to ask him to execute Abu Said for disloyalty . Instead , the Granadan sultan gave Abu Said an army and sent him back to Morocco to launch an ultimately unsuccessful rebellion against Abu Said Uthman III .

Historical equipment of the Iranian Army This article will only consider military equipment that has been used since 1925 , and is no longer considered ' standard issue ' within the regular armed forces . From 1925 to the Iranian Revolution in 1979 , Iran used to be equipped with the very latest Western hardware . Cases exist where Iran was supplied with equipment even before it was made standard in the countries that developed it ( for example the US F - 14 Tomcat , or the British Chieftain Tank ) . The Iran – Iraq War , and post - revolutionary sanctions at the time had a dramatic effect on Iran ' s inventory of Western equipment . Under the pressures of war all supplies were quickly exhausted and replacements became increasingly difficult to come by . Despite severe concerns regarding quality and effective design , the war eventually forced Iran to turn towards the Soviet Union and China amongst others to meet its short term military requirements . Nevertheless , the experience of using advanced and high quality Western equipment was not lost on any of the branches of the Iranian armed forces . Severely disappointed with the inferior Russian and Eastern equipment , Iran sought to develop its own indigenous ability to mirror the high technology of the west and to provide a totally reliable source of equipment for the future . Hardware . Most of the Iranian combat vehicles are a motley mix of U . S . , Chinese , and Soviet - era Russian materials . The American vehicles ( M60 Patton tanks ) came from between 1941 - 1979 , when the U . S . and its bloc supported the government of the Shah . During the Iran – Iraq War of 1980 - 1988 , much of the replenishing of the Iranian materials came through Communist China . After the Iran – Iraq War and a relatively moderate stance by Iran during the 1990s , Russia began to sell the Iranian regime military goods ( SCUD launchers , T - 55 , T - 62 & T - 72 tanks . )

Rimington ' s Guides Rimington ' s Guides ( also known as Rimington ' s Tigers or Rimington ' s Corps of Guides and then later as Damant ' s Horse ) were a unit of light horse in the British Army active in the Second Boer War . They were led by Major M . F . ( Mike ) Rimington , later Colonel Rimington . He also led a column in the later stages of the war . The Rimington ' s Guides also had the name Rimington ' s Tigers due to the leopard skin hatbands worn on their slouch hat s . Rimington gave his Corps of Guides the nickname " catch - ' em - alive - o ' s while other forces gave him the nickname " The Night Cats " because of their night marches and stealth like movement . Rimington left the Guides in January 1901 . The force was reorganised as Damant ' s Horse under Major Frederic Damant , Rimington ' s second - in - command , though they were often known by his name through the remainder of the war . Composition . The unit was recruited from English speaking South Africans . Every man in Rimington ' s Corps of Guides was obliged to speak Boer and at least one of the local African dialects , with many speaking both . They were armed with carbines and pistols , riding light ahead of the main army .
