Georg Henrik Lybecker Georg Henrik Lybecker was a Swedish friherre and Lieutenant General of the Swedish Army . He died June 4 , 1718 at Värsta , Närke ( his birth date is unknown ) . Military career . After joining the Scanian cavalry regiment he rose to the rank of Major in 1703 and Lieutenant Colonel in 1704 . Lybecker participated in Charles XII of Sweden ' s campaign against Poland during the Great Northern War , notably at the battle of Kliszów in 1702 . He and was appointed Governor of Viborg County and Major General of cavalry in 1706 . He became friherre in 1707 . When the commander of the army in Finland General Georg Johan Maidel was dismissed in 1707 , Lybecker was appointed as his successor . His task was to protect Finland against Russia n attack . This task was difficult since the available defensive forces in Finland were so weak . In 1708 Lybecker led his forces on an expedition into Ingria with the intent to divide Russian forces . The expedition was a failure : Lybecker was forced to evacuate his force by ship at Kolkanpää , abandoning all his cavalry . In 1710 , Viborg fell to the Russians without him making any attempt to relieve the city . Lybecker was promoted to Lieutenant General that same year , but the government in Stockholm , dissatisfied with his inactivity , removed him from general command and entrusted the army of Finland to count Carl Gustaf von Nieroth . After von Nieroth ' s sudden death in 1712 , Lybecker was appointed commander in Finland a second time , but this time proved himself even less worthy of the position . He made no attempt at preventing Russian troops from landing on the southern coast of Finland , nor did he support Carl Gustaf Armfeldt ' s beleaguered force in Helsinki , nor did he attempt to recover Helsingfors after it fell in Russian hands in May 1713 . He assembled his main force in Borgå , but when the enemy prepared for a landing there he withdrew further north without firing a shot and afterwards marched aimlessly around while southern Finland was taken . Lybecker blamed the instructions Charles XII had given him , which forbade him from committing to a major battle . However , the displeasure over his indecision was widespread , both in the army ranks and elsewhere . Lybecker was recalled in autumn of 1713 and was court - martial led in Stockholm . After a drawn - out trial , where the bishop of Åbo Johannes Gezelius the younger testified against him , he was sentenced to " loss of life , honor , and property " . He was pardoned by the king on New Year ' s Day 1718 , but confined to his estate Värsta , where he died on June 4 the same year .

Battle of Martynów The Battle of Martynów of 20 June 1624 refers to the engagement between the Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth forces under hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski and the horde of Crimean Tatars under Khan Temir . Koniecpolski dealt a crushing defeat to Khan Temir ' s forces near Martynów ( Мартинів ) . The victory at Martyniów was the biggest Polish victory over the Tatar raiders in a century . Background . In the spring of 1624 the Crimean Tatars began to organize another raid into the Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth borderlands . The horde , led by Khan Temir , approached the Commonwealth in May , and hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski gathered forces to stop it . However , his army was numerically inferior , so that at first he could only carry out delaying actions . By 13 January when he received intelligence that the horde had begun to turn back , he had about 5 , 000 troops : 600 hussars , 1350 registered Cossacks cavalry , 650 additional Cossack cavalry , 1450 other light cavalry , 350 infantry , 450 nobles from pospolite ruszenie , and several light cannons . This force included several notable soldiers and commanders , such as Stefan Chmielecki , Jan Odrzywolski , Samuel Łaszcz , Paweł Czarniecki and Stefan Czarniecki . He sent some forces , including mobilized peasants , to block possible routes of retreat for the horde , in order to force the horde to cross a river near the village of Martynów , where he planned to ambush them . The Tatar strength is unknown . Leszek Podhorodecki cites a contemporary diarist ' s estimate of 15 , 000 , calling it a " gross exaggeration " . Battle . Koniecpolski had to lay several possible ambushes , as Khan Temir was a savvy tactician , and would not fall easily into a trap . Eventually , he tricked the Tarars into attacking his lines , and after some feints by both sides , he managed to trick them into attacking a fortified tabor formation . In order to entrap Khan Temir , Koniecpolski created the illusion that his forces were retreating , abandoning high ground and leaving some scattered wagons with supplies , suggesting disorder . The Tatar atteck was absorbed by the Polish cavalry , and a bloody battle ensued , which after about an hour caused the Tatars to break off . Koniecpolski ' s then pursued them , before withdrawing again , this time luring Tatars into the artillery fire of the tabor formation . This was followed by the charge of all 12 chorągiew s of Polish cavalry . In the ensuing retreat , many Tatars drowned in the Dniestr river or nearby muds , and Khan Temir was wounded . Polish forces pursued the fleeing Tatars , and were able to free most of the people the Tatars had captured and were leading into slavery ( jasyr ) . The Polish pursuit ended on the night of 20 to 21 June . Aftermath . The victory at Martyniów was a major success for Koniecpolski , as it was the biggest Polish victory over the Tatar raiders in a century . At the same time , Khan Temir lost some influence among the Tatars .

Heavy ICBM Heavy ICBM is a term that was created in the 1970s to describe a class of Soviet ICBM s ( intercontinental ballistic missiles ) . They were characterized by a heavy throw - weight of 5 to 9 metric tons ( hence the word , " heavy , " in the name ) and a length of over 35 meters , and were thus capable of delivering a large number of warheads in a single MIRV missile . This term usually refers only to R36 / SS - 9 Scarp and the R36 M / SS - 18 SATAN missiles . Deliveries . The SS - 9 was silo launched missile capable of delivering warheads of 5 - 18 Mega tons , traveling a distance of up to 15 , 500 km , these were then replace by the similar SS - 18 with payloads of 18 - 25 Mega tons . The silos used for launching were the same for both , once modified .
Stearman XOSS The Stearman XOSS was an American biplane observation floatplane developed by Stearman Aircraft for the United States Navy during the late 1930s . Intended to replace the Curtiss SOC Seagull in service aboard battleships , it proved inferior to the Vought OS2U Kingfisher in a fly - off , and did not enter production . Design and development . Known by the company designation Model X - 85 , the Stearman XOSS - 1 was designed during 1937 in response to a U . S . Navy specification calling for an observation - scout type aircraft , capable of operating from either water or land , and stressed for catapult launching from battleships and cruisers . The new aircraft was intended to replace the Curtiss SOC as the standard observation and gunnery spotting aircraft in service aboard the Navy ' s battleships . In response to the request for proposals , the Navy received designs from Stearman Aircraft , Chance Vought , and the Naval Aircraft Factory . The Stearman Model 85 , given the designation XOSS - 1 , was a conventional two - seat biplane , with the pilot and observer seated in tandem in a fully enclosed cockpit . The aircraft could be operated with either float or wheeled landing gear , with the former being of the single center - float type , and the latter being a conventional taildragger undercarriage . The XOSS - 1 had the unusual feature of being fitted with full - span flaps on the upper wing to reduce stalling speed . It was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R - 1340 Wasp radial engine . Operational history . Flying for the first time in September 1938 , the XOSS - 1 proved to have benign flying characteristics , and over the next several months was evaluated against the Naval Aircraft Factory XOSN , another conventional biplane , and the Vought XOS2U , a mid - wing monoplane . The evaluation proved that the XOSS - 1 was conventional in all respects ; the full - span upper - wing flap reduced the aircraft ' s landing speed to , while the top speed achievable was . Both the XOSS - 1 and the XOSN - 1 , despite not possessing any significant faults , were considered to be insufficiently advanced , being inferior in performance and potential to the Vought machine . The XOS2U - 1 was declared the winner of the competition in May 1939 , and the XOSS - 1 ' s development came to an end . The aircraft was used for liaison purposes by the Navy , being scrapped at NAS Jacksonville in 1941 .
