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.

The engine uses hypergolic propellant, a kerosene fuel and nitric acid oxidizer that ignite when they are combined.
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).

DongFeng 15 (Export name: M-9; NATO codename: CSS-6, Chinese: East Wind 15), a Short-Range Ballistic Missile, is the only non-nuclear missile in service with the PLA Second Artillery Corps (i.e. strategic missile force).
The missile shown here is most probably a DongFeng15B, which is fitted with four small fins at midsection for corrections at the final phase of the flight.
This vehicle is a TAS5450 or WS2400 8X8 transporter-erector-launcher (TEL) vehicle.
Apparently, only after this vehicle had paraded passed the Tiananmen Square was the camuoflage sheet pulled over the missile.

Mercedes introduced the C-Class Sport Coupé (codenamed "Peanut" ver. CL203) to Europe in October 2000 as a three-door hatchback coupe, based on the regular W203 C-Class range. North American sales began in 2001 for the 2002 model year.
Whereas the C-Class sedan and wagon had the traditional Mercedes horizontal bar grille with the hood ornament, the Sport Coupé had a star-grille front end giving it a sportier look. The Sport Coupé also had a fastback roofline, an optional panoramic sunroof, and a functional rear spoiler to provide downforce at high speeds. The Sport Coupé was seven inches (178 mm) shorter overall than the sedan, while sharing the same wheelbase length.
The C 230 Sport Coupé was powered by a 2.3-litre supercharged, four-cylinder motor (M111) with output of 143 kW (192 hp) and 281 N⋅m (207 lb⋅ft) of torque, which was more powerful than the C 240 sedan's 175 PS (129 kW; 173 hp) V6 engine, although the M111 was coarse and noisy at the high end. In 2003 the M111 was replaced with a quieter and more efficient DOHC supercharged 1.8 litre four-cylinder engine (M271).
Cobra Mist was the codename for an Anglo-American experimental over-the-horizon radar station at Orford Ness, Suffolk, England (grid reference TM450511). It was known technically as AN/FPS-95 and sometimes referred to as System 441a; a reference to the project as a whole. Cobra Mist was part of a small number of "Cobra" long-range surveillance radars operated by the U.S. Originally intended to be mounted in Turkey and offer coverage of most of European Soviet airspace, when Turkey objected to the site it was moved to the UK and sited to offer a view of most of western Europe. Built through the late 1960s and into 1970, when the system was first turned on it proved to be plagued by noise problems that could not be identified and the project was shut down in 1973.
The site and buildings are now occupied by a radio transmitting station used mainly for the BBC World Service until 2011

The Type 054A (NATO codename Jiangkai II) frigate is a Chinese multi-role warship class, 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 2015, 18 are in service, 4 are 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 was first revealed while under construction at the Guangzhou-based Huangpu Shipyard in 2005.
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.
The 100 mm main gun on earlier Type 054 class is replaced by H/PJ26 stealthy 76 mm dual purpose gun mount, which is a Chinese development of Russian AK-176. The adoption of smaller caliber gun is the result of the need of higher rate of fire for air defense, including sea-skimming anti-ship missiles. H/PJ26 utilizes advanced synthetic material such as fiber glass to a much greater degree than the original AK-176, resulting in over 30% of weight reduction to 11.5 ton of H/PJ26, as opposed to the 16.8+ tons of AK-176.
Another improvement of Type 054A over the original Type 054 (as well other older ships in the People's Liberation Army Navy) is its information systems (IS) for maintenance and inventory control, which automatically provides information to shore based facilities or supply ships on the parts in need, to the last detail, so that parts in need can be provided more quickly. The resulting down time due to maintenance & repair is reduced to a fraction of what it is for older vessels without this IS system. The Chinese[who?] have termed this IS for maintenance and inventory control another force multiplier because it increased availability for deployment by reducing downtime.
The Type 054A retains its predecessor's stealth features, including sloped hull design, radar absorbent materials, and a clean profile.
An improved variant beginning with the 18th unit launched from Huangpu Shipyard in 2009 has the 7-barrelled Type 730 CIWS replaced by the more capable 11-barrelled Type 1130, and is referred as Type 54A+. Other reported improvement over the original Type 054A includes the incorporation of towed array sonar.
Type 054A frigate made first operational deployment to Gulf of Aden, when FFG-570 Huangshan set sail as part of 2nd Escort Flotilla/Task Group 167 on 2 April 2009, the Escort Flotilla arrive there on 13 April 2009, and take over form 1st Escort Flotilla/Task Group 169 on 15 April 2009. Since then 11 type 054A have deployed to Gulf of Aden for anti-piracy operations.
In the lead-up to the Libyan civil war, the FFG-530 Xuzhou was deployed from anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden to help evacuate Chinese nationals from Libya.
In January 2014, the FFG-546 Yancheng was redeployed from anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden to the eastern Mediterranean Sea to escort Syrian chemical weapons destined for destruction.

Operation Downfall was the codename for the invasion of Japan. 25 divisions of the Allied powers excluding Russian troops and the floating reserve were tanking part in the operation. The invasion was canceled because of the Japanese surrender but the new T-28 Super Heavy tank/ Heavy Gun Carrier was sceduled to take part of the invasion but production was cancled after the invasion was cancled. 15 Atomic bombs was being produced to help US troops but were also stopped. The airburst was 1,800–2,000 ft (550–610 m) above the ground had been chosen for the bombs to achieve maximum blast effects, and to minimize residual radiation on the ground as it was hoped that American troops would soon occupy the country. All plans for the invason was cancled after the first two atomic bombings and Japans' surrender.
