Stanisław Tochowicz. Stanisław Tochowicz (7 May 1923 – 3 October 1994) was a Polish metallurgist, professor of technical sciences, professor and Director of the Institute of Metallurgy of the Silsesian Polytechnic, prorector of the Silsesian Polytechnic, professor and Head of the Department of Metallurgy of Steel at the Częstochowa Polytechnic.

Biography 
He was born in 1925 as the son of Antoni Tochowicz from Słomniki near Kraków, and Kazimiera Florentyna Tochowicz née Malska. He had four siblings. Cardiologist Leon Tochowicz was his relative.

In 1949 he graduated from the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków. From 1948, he worked at the "Pokój" steelworks in Nowy Bytom, where he came to the position of the steel mill's main technologist. In 1952, at the age of twenty-nine, he became the main steelworker of the Central Board of the Steel Industry (Centralny Zarząd Przemysłu Hutniczego). Then he became the deputy director for technical progress in the Union of Iron and Steel Industry (Zjednoczenie Hutnictwa Żelaza i Stali).

In 1968 he started working at the Silsesian Polytechnic. He organized a branch of the Polytechnic in Katowice. He was a professor and Director of the Institute of Metallurgy, and also a vice-rector of the Silsesian Polytechnic. In 1982 he moved to the Częstochowa Polytechnic, where he focused on scientific research and headed the Steel Metallurgy Department. He was particularly involved in the research on the use of plasma in metallurgy.

He was an expert of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization in South America, Africa and Turkey. He was an active member of the Association of Engineers and Technicians of the Steel Industry (Stowarzyszenie Inżynierów i Techników Przemysłu Hutniczego), that granted him an honorary membership, and was the editor of several scientific journals. In 1990 he obtained the academic title of professor.

He was married and had two children.

He retired in 1993. He died on 3 October 1994. He was buried at the Rakowicki Cemetery in Kraków (quarter XXXIV, row: south, place: 19).

Bofors 375 mm anti-submarine rocket. The 375 mm ASW rocket family  is an ahead-throwing anti-submarine rocket system developed by Bofors. The system has three types of launcher with either two, four, or six barrels, and entered service in the 1950s.

Sweden used the four-barreled system on the  and s. France built the four-barrelled system under licence then developed the six-barrel system and used it on many classes of warship including  and  destroyers and  "A69" D'Estienne d'Orves-class avisos (corvettes). Turkey uses it on the Burak-class corvettes which are all former A69 class corvettes, mainly designed for coastal anti-submarine defense and ocean escort missions. The Netherlands used it in the s. It was also used by Royal Malaysian Navy on the s before they removed it from the ships. Indonesia use it on its three s and Brazil on six s, all of which are still in service.

Inesite. Inesite is a hydrous calcium manganese silicate mineral.  Its chemical formula is Ca2Mn7Si10O28(OH)2•5(H2O).  Inesite is an inosilicate with a triclinic crystal system. It has a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6, and a specific gravity of 3.0.  Its name originates from the Greek Ίνες (), "fibers" in allusion to its color and habit.

Occurrence and distribution 
Inesite occurs in hydrothermal replacement deposits of manganese-rich metamorphic rocks and serpentines.  It was first described in 1887 at Hilfe Gottes Mine, Oberscheld, Dillenburg, Dillenburg District, Hesse, Germany.  Outside of the type locality, there are several notable localities of inesite, such as:

 Wessels and N'Chwanning Mines, Kalahari Manganese Field, Northern Cape, South Africa where Inesite is associated with datolite, pectolite, apophyllite, ruizite, orientite and quartz.

 Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia.

 Långban, Persberg, Värmland, Sweden.

 Kawazu Mine, Shizuoka Prefecture, Chubu Region, Honshu Island, Japan

 Hale Creek Mine, Trinity County, California, USA, where Inesite is associated with Rhodochrosite, bementite, and hausmannite.

 Fengjishan Mine (Daye Copper Mine), Edong Mining District, Daye County, Huangshi Prefecture, Hubei Province, China.

Krymsk air base. Krymsk is an air base of the Russian Aerospace Forces as part of the 4th Air and Air Defence Forces Army, Southern Military District. The base is also known as the 6972nd Air Force Base is an airport located  to the north of Krymsk. 

 satellite imagery shows runway 04/22 extended to 3.00 km.

History

In 2011, the airfield was closed for renovation.

The main fighter regiment at the base had gone through a series of re-organizations and re-designations by 2012:
January 9, 2001: absorbed the 562nd Fighter Aviation Regiment, and renamed 3rd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment.
January 12, 2009: renamed 6972nd Guards Aviation Base.

As of February 2022, the base was home to the:
 1st Guards Composite Aviation Division HQ
 3rd Composite Guards Aviation Regiment with two squadrons of Sukhoi Su-27M3 (NATO: Flanker)

2012 flooding
According to Izvestiya, the airbase suffered from floods in Krymsk in July 2012. An eyewitness reported that the flow of water washed sand and rubble destined for the runway, under the water were not only pits, but also the basements and first floors of residential and administrative buildings of the military town. "About 15 combat aircraft flooded, which did not have time to take out before reconstruction. At the same time, the builders and the military were most afraid that aviation kerosene would be poured out due to the elements and the bombs would begin to tear". In the same article, an unnamed representative of the military district said that at the time of the reconstruction at the airfield there were only "aircraft taken out of service and in storage" and there was no fuel and ammunition affected by the flood.

The Russian Ministry of Defence denied reports of serious damage to the airfield. A spokesman for the Southern Military District said: "The message that the airfield in Krymsk was badly damaged and 200 million rubles would be required for its reconstruction is not true." He also stressed that the airfield "is located on a hill, and the maximum amount of water at the very peak of the flood reached a height of 10 centimeters".

After the floods, 5,500 military were deployed to the city of Krymsk to help rebuild the city, and a military campground was built on the airfield of the Krymsk airfield.

Russo-Ukrainian war
On the night of 14 November 2024, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on the Krymsk military airfield, where Su-27 and Su-30 fighter jets and Ka-27 helicopters are stationed. The Russian Ministry of Defence said they shot down 51 drones using conventional air defence capabilities and that no casualties were reported.

Marinovka air base. Marinovka is an air base of the Russian Aerospace Forces as part of the 4th Air and Air Defence Forces Army, Southern Military District.

As of 2022, the base is home to the 11th Composite Aviation Regiment (11th SAP) which had two squadrons of Sukhoi Su-24M/MR (NATO: Fencer-D/E)

History 
The base was home to the 168th Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment between 1991 and 1992,
and the 296th Fighter-Bomber Aviation Regiment 1993-98.

Some Su-34 and Su-24s were redeployed to the air base after a Ukrainian drone strike on Morozovsk air base. A satellite image from 19 August 2024, appeared to show some 15 Su-34s and 14 Su-24s at the air base. 

On 22 August 2024, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, the air base was attacked by Ukrainian military drones, resulting in explosions and a fire at the air base. The governor of Volgograd Oblast, Andrey Bocharov, claimed that most of the drones had been intercepted, and that the debris from an intercepted drone fell causing a fire. The fires were detected by NASA's FIRMS.

Voisin XII. The Voisin XII was a prototype French two-seat four-engine biplane bomber built near the end of the First World War but which did not enter service.

Development
The Voisin XII was a long-range night bomber with four Hispano-Suiza 8Bc engines mounted in pairs in tandem. The aircraft was built in response to the BN2 requirement for a long-range night bomber. One prototype was built and test flights were successful, but the war's end precluded the Voisin XII from being ordered into production.

The Voison XIII night-bomber or Type E.87-2 was a proposed development of the Voisin XII, it was not built.
