the Outcome was a foregone conclusion. Although the cruiser before the battle carefully laid sandbags, worthy of protection from fire heavy and rapid-fire artillery to make they are unable. And the white color of the sides of peacetime against a dark shore only contributed to the transformation of the “Castilla” is a good target. If early in the fight the fires from numerous hits of shells of medium caliber has been able to take control, the first exploding in the infirmary 203-mm projectile, which put an end to the suffering of the wounded were there, caused a fire with such force, to extinguish which it was no longer possible. Just a few minutes another American projectile of the same caliber exploded in the engine room and caused one of the strongest fire. But under the forecastle came the third the same projectile, the commander of the cruiser Morgado realized that if he doesn’t start the immediate evacuation of personnel, the entire crew just burn to death.

Fighter-interceptor, the Mirage IIIC. In 1953, the French air force announced a competition to create a light supersonic fighter-interceptor. Virtually all aircraft manufacturers and enterprises of France took part in it. Southeast Association – Societe Nationale de Constructions Aeronautiques du Sud-Est (SNCASE) built fighter-a tailless “durandal” with a triangular wing. The power plant consisted of a turbojet Atar 101F with a thrust of 3,400 lbs and a SEPR rocket engine with a thrust of 825 kg. southwest – Societe Nationale de Constructions Aeronautiques du Sud-Ouest (SNCASO), has proposed an unusual Orthoptera car SO.9000 “Trident”, with two turbojet engines of Turbomeca “Marbore” II with a thrust of 400 kg each and three-chambered SEPR rocket engine with a thrust of 3750 kg.
The aircraft short takeoff and landing An-72 was created to solve special military problems. To increase the lift coefficient of the wing engines located on its upper surface. However, their gas jets blown part of the airfoil and flaps, using the Coanda effect. An-72 is equipped with two turbofan engines D-36 takeoff thrust of 6500 kgf.
And so Germany entered the First world war, glorified “submarines of the Kaiser” as the most formidable weapon in the war at sea. Entered, having … only 28 submarines, half of which, as it was considered unlikely to have been able to act out of sight of shore, and the rest were barely able to operate close to even the nearest East coast of the UK. And any ideas on how all this “wealth” to use. Moreover, much improvement in the near future and not expected: in the program of development of the submarine fleet, adopted in 1912, it was decided to build 70 units. At first glance, quite a lot, but 36 of them were intended for the defense of the German Bay and 12 to cover the direct approaches to the bases, first of all, to the Keel, 10 had to be “material reserve”. And only 12 boats, according to the Admiral-staff, led the naval operations of the German fleet was originally allocated for active operations. Not later than in the North sea. Was also surprised by the slowness of time: the 70 units was supposed to have in the ranks already… in 1919! Germany almost all put on the development of the surface of the high Seas Fleet, which was to crush the British Grand fleet in a decisive battle at the expense of higher-quality ships and training of personnel.
During the Second world war, Germany was the leader in the development of heavy armored vehicles with wheel formula 8×8. After a good armored car Sd.Kfz.231(8 Rad), which was a frame structure, followed by Sd.Kfz. 234/1 with a monocoque body (see “armor collection” № 1, 2007). For these machines and their modifications was characterized by the presence of all eight of the steered wheels and two control stations. Four-axle, or, as they are often called, vosmiklasnica armored vehicles have been successfully used by Hitler’s Wehrmacht in all theaters of war until the last days of the Second world war.
Design domestic car GAZ-21 “Volga” is haunted by the many fans of this car. Some create precise scale models-copies of this iconic sedan. Others meticulously and carefully recreate the published in the edition of luxury vintage cars, which today look better than the ones that came off the Assembly line 50 years ago. Well, while others using a fundamental design decision, so happily found in the design of GAZ-21, creating the “explanation” of this car an exclusive design.
The car VAZ-1111 “Oka” was put into production in 1988 — assembling the machine was carried out at the Kama and the Volga factories. Further production of the car and joined the Serpukhov car factory, which produced the first machine with manual control. “Oka” is a front wheel drive car midget class (its length is 3.2 m), fitted with a 29-horsepower two-cylinder engine working volume 0,649 L.
During the war in Korea was shot down by an American fighter jet F-86 “sabre”. After studying Soviet specialists captured machine, the Soviet government in the beginning of 1953, decided on the reproduction of this aircraft. To copy it created a small design Bureau OKB-1 headed by Vladimir Kondratyev. Together with the ongoing work of OKB-1, led the development of future vehicles, including supersonic fighter with a molecular engine. Given the relevance of the topic and the declared characteristics, the proposal considered by the scientific and technical Council of the Ministry of aviation industry (map), where it received a negative opinion, and against the head of the design Bureau and of the works conducted by the team, was made, in the language of the time, and draw conclusions.
In the dark night of 18 to 19 September 1895 cruiser “Sanchez-Barkataki” out to sea. Yesterday, during a secret meeting, his commander captain 2nd rank ibáñez, Francisco Varela was ordered to intercept gun smugglers in the area Kalasa. The operation was given so much importance that the Board was attended by the chief of the naval forces in Cuba rear Admiral Manuel Delgado Parejo.
Oscillating turret French light tank AMX-13 was only one of the features of this machine. Another feature is a violation of the creators of the familiar classic layout, when the power plant took a normal time for the location of offices in the front of the case, the working place of the driver with the control organs of the tank shifted to the left side, moreover, the fighting compartment was placed in the aft.
