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.
R-17 Elbrus "Scud-B"
SPECIFICATIONS:
DIAMETER: 2 feet 11 inches
LAUNCH WEIGHT: 13,007 pounds
THRUST: Over 29,000 pounds
RANGE: 186 miles
PAYLOAD: 2,171 pounds
LENGTH: 37 feet 2 inches
ENGINE: The S5.2 engine for the "Scud-B" is a single chamber liquid fuel rocket engine designed by the A.M. Isaev Design Bureau. The engine was a much simpler and lighter design than the complicated German designs of World War II. The engine uses hypergolic propellant, a kerosene fuel and nitric acid oxidizer that ignite when they are combined.
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.

Normandy
Utah Beach was the codename for one of the Allied landing beaches during the D-Day invasion of Normandy, as part of Operation Overlord on 6 June 1944. Utah was added to the invasion plan towards the end of the planning stages, when more landing craft became available. Despite being substantially off course, the U.S. 4th Infantry Division landed there with relatively little resistance, in contrast to Omaha Beach where the fighting was fierce. Utah beach, about three miles long, was the westernmost of the five landing beaches, located between Pouppeville and La Madeleine

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.

Beach, Saint Aubin Sur Mer, Normandy, France, august 2011.
This was the most eastern part of the Canadian assigned Juno Beach on June 6, 1944, codenamed "Nan Red"
Juno or Juno Beach was one of five sectors of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944, during the Second World War. The sector spanned from Saint-Aubin, a village just east of the British Gold sector, to Courseulles, just west of the British Sword sector. The Juno landings were judged necessary to provide flanking support to the British drive on Caen from Sword, as well as to capture the German airfield at Carpiquet west of Caen. Taking Juno was the responsibility of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and commandos of the Royal Marines, with support from Naval Force J, the Juno contingent of the invasion fleet, including the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). The beach was defended by two battalions of the German 716th Infantry Division, with elements of the 21st Panzer Division held in reserve near Caen.
The first units of the North Shore Regiment's "A" and "B" companies touched down on Nan Red at 08:10 in chest-deep water. They were tasked with securing Saint-Aubin and clearing defences in the village. "B" Company landed to find that the Saint-Aubin strongpoint "appeared not to have been touched" by preliminary naval bombardment. The two assault companies faced a 100-yard (91 m) sprint across open beach in the face of fire from Saint-Aubin. "A" Company suffered the heaviest casualties, incurring many fatalities from beach mines. "B" Company faced stronger opposition at the strongpoint, yet managed to breach the seawall and barbed wire. The strongpoint's 50 mm antitank gun was still active, and the thick concrete casemates protected it from infantry fire. By 08:10 Sherman tanks of the Fort Garry Horse and Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers (AVRE) tanks of the 80th Assault Squadron, Royal Engineers, had landed at Nan Red, and began to assist "B" Company in clearing the gun emplacement. The 50 mm gun knocked out four of the squadron's tanks, while the North Shore's machine-gun platoon flanked the position. The right section of the strongpoint was eliminated by antitank guns and combat engineers, while the central antitank gun was silenced by petard shells from the British AVREs. When the North Shore captured the strongpoint, approximately half the defenders were killed; 48 German soldiers surrendered.

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).

Utah beach, about 3 miles (5 km) long, was the westernmost of the five landing beaches, between Pouppeville and La Madeleine. A practice run for these landings, known as Exercise Tiger, took place in April 1944 on the southern coast of the United Kingdom. This training exercise resulted in 749 American servicemen perishing and nearly 300 being wounded after poorly executed naval escort permitted an attack by German E-boats on the landing force.

Customs created for a big Codename Unknown release of 18 customs throughout Kidrobot stores and online
As indicated by his codename, Ypsilon is the second Perfect Soldier, having been "born" after Proto-One (See Fyana). She was with Ypsilon during his awakening in the underground sections of the former Red Shoulder base on Melkia. She gave him his name, and he formed an immediate attachment to her as would a child to its mother. She first attempted to teach him gentleness, but his pre-programmed killing nature emerged despite this, much to be pleasure of Albert Killy and the other masters of the Secret Society.
Under the later tutelage of Borough and Prince Kanjelman in Kummen, Ypsilon matures as a warrior. His genetically-engineered combat skills are honed to perfection, and unlike Proto-One, he remains fiercely loyal to his commanding officers.
Emotionally, however, Ypsilon is still very much a child. Arrogant and egocentric, he sees himself as the ultimate in human evolution. From his first encounter with Chirico Cuvie, Ypsilon becomes obsessed with killing him, convinced that Chirico has poisoned the mind of Proto-One ... and only his death will end her "confusion" about whom she really loves. This obsession increases from one bloody battle to another throughout Kummen and all the way to their final showdown on Sunsa.
