The Type 054A (NATO codename Jiangkai II) frigate is a class of Chinese multi-role frigates, the first of which entered service with the People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force in 2007. The class is planned to comprise 24+ vessels. As of 2016, 22 are in service, 1 is fitting out, and 2 are under construction. It is a development of the Type 054 frigate, using the same hull but with improved sensors and weapons.
The Type 054A carries HQ-16 medium-range air defence missiles and various anti submarine rockets in a VLS system. The HQ-16 provides area air defence from all engagement angles up to a range of 50 km, a considerable improvement over the HQ-7 carried on the Type 054 which have inferior range and limited engagement angles. Contrary to HQ-9 VLS on Type 052C destroyer which adopts a cold launch method, HQ-16 appears to adopt a hot launch method instead, with the same design principle of US Mk 41 VLS: a shared common exhaust system is sited between the two rows of rectangular launching tubes.The VLS system is also capable of firing anti-submarine missiles.
The 4 AK-630 close-in weapon systems (CIWS) of the Type 054 were replaced with 2 Type 730 CIWS on the Type 054A. The autonomous Type 730 provides improved reaction time against close-in threats.

Hundreds of Filipino were dead and thousands were rendered homeless when Tropical Storm Ondoy (international codename: Ketsana) ravaged most parts of Metro Manila, especially its eastern part, and nearby regions. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared the whole country under state of calamity as
another super typhoon threatens to bring more devastation to the still-suffering nation.
A week after the typhoon, some roads were still covered with thick mud and some villages and streets were still underwater. People who were badly affected are still staying in nearby public schools that were converted into evacuation centers, surviving on releif goods being rationed by the government and other organizations. Classes in all levels have been suspended for a week. According to the National Disaster Coordinating Council, Ondoy caused an estimated P4.8 billion, P3.6 billion of which comes from the agriculture sector.

The Type 908 (NATO reporting name Fusu-class, also known as Nancang-class) replenishment ship is a class of multi-product replenishment oilers commissioned into the People's Liberation Army Navy and the Royal Thai Navy. The first Type 908 replenishment ship, Qinghaihu, was originally laid down for the Soviet Navy as a Komandarn Fedko class merchant tanker, but construction was halted due to insufficient funds. The ship was then purchased by China as an incomplete vessel in 1993 from post-Soviet Ukraine. The ship has a near sister ship (INS Jyoti (A58)) operating with the Indian Navy. After significant refit, the ship was consecutively renamed the Qinghaihu (885), formerly ex Nancang (Nanyun 953) and ex-Vladimir Peregudov . Another similar ship was built and sold to Thailand and currently in service with the Royal Thai Navy as HTMS Similan (871).
The Type 908 AOR is the 2nd generation Chinese replenishment ship that is outfitted with a total of six cranes, four oil refuelling stations, and two stores stations. This allows the ship to replenish three warships simultaneously. The ship, through her helicopter facilities, is able to replenish warships operating nearby via vertical replenishment (VERTREP).

Fat Man
"Fat Man" (also known as Mark III) was the codename for the type of nuclear bomb the United States detonated over the Japanese city of Nagasaki on 9 August 1945. It was the second of the only two nuclear weapons ever used in warfare, the first being Little Boy, and its detonation marked the third nuclear explosion in history. It was built by scientists and engineers at Los Alamos Laboratory using plutonium from the Hanford Site, and was dropped from the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Bockscar piloted by Major Charles Sweeney.
The name Fat Man refers to the early design of the bomb because it had a wide, round shape. Fat Man was an implosion-type nuclear weapon with a solid plutonium core. The first of that type to be detonated was the Gadget in the Trinity nuclear test less than a month earlier on 16 July at the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range in New Mexico. Two more were detonated during the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946, and some 120 were produced between 1947 and 1949, when it was superseded by the Mark 4 nuclear bomb. The Fat Man was retired in 1950.
The gun-type and implosion-type designs were codenamed "Thin Man" and "Fat Man", respectively. These code names were created by Robert Serber, a former student of Oppenheimer's who worked on the Manhattan Project. He chose them based on their design shapes; the Thin Man was a very long device, and the name came from the Dashiell Hammett detective novel The Thin Man and series of movies. The Fat Man was round and fat and was named after Sydney Greenstreet's character in Hammett's The Maltese Falcon. Little Boy came last as a variation of Thin Man.
ファットマン
ファットマン（英語: Fat Man、「太った男」の意味）は、第二次世界大戦末期にアメリカ合衆国で開発された原子爆弾である。
アメリカ軍の分類番号はMk.3であり、大戦後も製造が継続された。人類史上初の核実験であるトリニティ実験に使用されたガジェットとほぼ同型。
ファットマンはマンハッタン計画の一部としてロスアラモス国立研究所で作られた核兵器である。リトルボーイ（Mark 1）が高濃縮ウランを用いたガンバレル型の原子爆弾であるのに対して、ファットマンはプルトニウムを用いたインプロージョン方式の原子爆弾である。
1945年8月9日に実戦使用されており、長崎県長崎市の北部（現在の松山町）の上空550メートルで炸裂した。長崎市への原子爆弾投下を行ったのは、B-29ボックスカー（機長：チャールズ・スウィーニー少佐）である。爆弾の威力は8月6日に広島県広島市に投下されたリトルボーイより若干威力が高いが、長崎市は起伏に富んだ地形で、平坦な広島市に比べて威力が減殺された。破壊の度合いは広島市に比べると小さいものの、死者約7万3,900人、負傷者約7万4,900人、被害面積6.7 km2、全焼全壊計約1万2,900棟という甚大な被害をもたらした。核出力はTNT換算で、21キロトン ± 2 キロトン、すなわち 8.8×1013 J = 88 テラジュールである。
第二次世界大戦終結後も製造が続けられ、Mark 2（ThinMan） というガンバレル型プルトニウム型爆弾は開発中止され、インプロージョン型原爆であるファットマンへと移行し、1940年代のアメリカ軍の核戦力を担った。
アメリカ合衆国では1941年よりマンハッタン計画として核兵器の開発を行っていた。ウランを用いた核兵器の開発（Mark 1=リトルボーイ）は進んでいたものの、プルトニウムを用いた核兵器の開発には障害があり、1943年にガンバレル型（Mark 2=シンマン ）とインプロージョン方式（implosion、爆縮）（Mark 3=ファットマン）の両方の開発が進められることとなった。1944年にガンバレル型（Mark 2）は放棄され、インプロージョン方式で開発が継続されることとなった。
核物質にはプルトニウム239を用いている。核出力はTNT換算21キロトンを記録した。インプロージョン方式で用いられている爆縮レンズはジョン・フォン・ノイマンらによって完成した技術である。
使用されたプルトニウムはワシントン州ハンフォードにあるハンフォード・サイトのB原子炉で製造された。
プルトニウム型原爆（インプロージョン方式）の実証のため、1945年7月16日にアメリカ合衆国は、ニューメキシコ州アラモゴード砂漠にあるホワイトサンズ射爆場でファットマンのプロトタイプであるガジェットを用いて人類史上初の核実験であるトリニティ実験を実行した。
ファットマンの特異な形状の空中挙動を確かめるため、通常爆薬を装填した同形・同質量の模擬弾「パンプキン」が作られ、投下訓練の一環として日本に対して実戦投入された。
ファットマン型の原爆はまず3発が製造され、1発が長崎へ投下されたほか、核実験のクロスロード作戦（1946年）で使用された。
1945年7月にヘンリー・スティムソン陸軍長官にファットマン型原爆は毎月1個の生産が可能だと報告されたが、1945年8月15日に戦争が終結し、原爆製造の優先順位が引き下げられたため、生産量は縮小された。ハンフォードのプルトニウム生産炉も中性子照射による損傷で稼動に耐えなくなったため1946年に生産を停止した。
ファットマン自体は戦後も生産が継続され、1947年にはロスアラモス国立研究所にファットマン60発分の部品が備蓄され、アメリカ兵器廠には使用可能なファットマン型原爆13発が備蓄されていた。1948年までには50発が生産され、1949年までに120発が生産された。改良型のMark 4の生産は1949年からのことである。
ガンバレル方式・インプロージョン方式のプルトニウム原子爆弾にはそれぞれ「シンマン」「ファットマン」とのコードネームが与えられた。これらの命名を行った人物は、ロバート・オッペンハイマーのかつての教え子で、自らもマンハッタン計画に参加したロバート・サーバーだった。サーバーはそれぞれの爆弾の外観に基づいて名前を選んだ。Mark 2は細長い形状であったため、ダシール・ハメットの探偵小説『影なき男 （原題：The Thin Man）』とその映画化作品から着想を得て、「シンマン（Thin Man、痩せ男）」と命名された。これに対してMark 3は丸くずんぐりした形状であったため、『マルタの鷹』（ハメットの同名探偵小説の1941年の映画化作品）にて、シドニー・グリーンストリート（英語版）が演じたキャラクター「カスパー・ガットマン」から着想を得て、「ファットマン（太った男）」と命名された。
なお、イギリス保守党の政治家であるチャーチル首相にちなんだものとする俗説がある。
日本語では、「ふとっちょ（太っちょ）」または「デブ」（『はだしのゲン』など）と翻訳されることもあるが、「ファットマン」の表記もある。

R-17 Elbrus “Scud-B" Tactical Ballistic Missile
"Scud"is the codename for a series of tactical ballistic missiles based on a late 1950s Soviet Union design. The mass-produced R-17 Elbrus "Scud-B" went into service in 1964. It can carry a payload of a thermonuclear, chemical, or conventional warhead to a range of over 180 miles. "Scud-Bs" are usually loaded on a Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) vehicle allowing the missile and its launch system to be quickly relocated. After arriving at a new location, a "Scud" can be readied for launch in 60 to 90 minutes. With around 7,000 built "Scud-Bs"were used by over 30 countries and saw combat in several wars, Several countries continue to use "Scud-Bs" or foreign built versions of the missile.
During Operation Desert Storm the Iraqi Military deployed Soviet built "Scud-B" missiles and Iraqi produced Al-Hussein, and Al-Hijarah versions of the "Scud-B" design. During the war Iraq launched a total of 88 "Scuds" at targets in Israel and Saudi Arabia. One struck a U.S. Army barracks in Dharan, Saudi Arabia killing 28 American soldiers. Coalition Forces committed 40 percent of their aerial assets to finding and destroying mobile "Scud" launchers. The launchers and missiles were well hidden and only a few were found, and fewer were destroyed.

So meet Draven Aim Nobel. His hair killed me to recolor (I have a full collection almost ready for upload ;) ).
ANYWAYS, this is my entrant for the Scribbler's Codename Contest. I'm pretty psyched about it, because it looks like a really well organised contest!
As for Draven here, not so much editing. I re-did his lips and shaded the hell out of it, but that's about it. I did enough editing with the CC for this guy without remaking it in drawing! I turned the outfit into a shirt only (granted, pretty easy), remade the pants you can't even see ><, recolored and alpha edited the hair, added a lip scar and a tattoo on his eye.
At first he was supposed to have a red/black cross target replacing his left eye, but I found it a little too much like something I'd seen in movies before (though I still can't remember which).
Ok, I stop rambling now xD

The Sukhoi Su-27 heavy air superiority fighter - codenamed 'Flanker' by NATO - was designed during the Cold War as a Soviet counter to potential Western opponents such as the US Air Force's F-15 Eagle. It first flew in 1977. Service entry began during 1985, and when the 'Flanker' started appearing at Western air displays in the hands of Sukhoi test pilots, starting at Paris in 1989, it astounded spectators with its manoeuvrability.
In the post-Soviet era, the original Su-27 series has continued to equip the Russian armed forces, and carried on serving with the Ukrainian Air Force as well as other former Soviet states and several export customers. The design has continued to be developed for both Russia and overseas markets, some of the latest derivatives incorporating thrust vectoring.
The Ukrainian Su-27s (one P model and one UB model) that are coming to Fairford for RIAT 2019 are on the strength of the 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade, based at Myrhorod in central Ukraine.
Gefechts-Turm Augarten (Flak tower)
Flakturm VII - codename Peter
Vienna, Austria
Das Flakturmpaar im Wiener Augarten (Bezirk: Leopoldstadt) trägt den Codenamen „Peter“.
Gefechts- und Feuerleitturm wurden in der Zeit von Juli 1944 bis Jänner 1945 nach Bauart III errichtet.
Der Gefechtsturm ist mit seinen 13 Stockwerken um zwei Meter höher als der zwölfstöckige Leitturm, um deren Plattformen auf dasselbe Niveau zu bringen.
Es handelt sich um die zuletzt errichteten, und dementsprechend am weitesten entwickelten Flaktürme des Dritten Reiches.
English:
This Flakturm was of the third generation. The tower still stands and is not currently used.
The Flakturm (Flag tower) is a concrete bunker that is placed in a city. The bunker was provided with a space where people (in the largest tower itself was room for 20,000 people) could shelter during bombings and there was space for storage of goods. The bunker was equipped with Flak anti aircraft gun (Flak is the acronym for Flugabwehrkanone, also called Fliegerabwehrkanone).
These large towers were built during the Second World War in the cities Berlin (Germany), Hamburg (Germany) and Vienna (Austria).
Each Flak tower complex consisted of a G-Tower (Gefechts-Turm) and L-Tower (Leit-Turm).
