The VF-0's maximum speed is Mach 2. 74 at above sea level altitude, using variable intake slats to slow the inrushing air to subsonic velocity, rather than a single variable intake ramp.

It was their fear of the spectre of 1914 that emerged victorious in the conflict of goals between armament in breadth for a short war and armament in depth for a feared long war.

The new Volkssturm was also to become a nation-wide organization, with Heinrich Himmler, as Replacement Army Commander, responsible for armament and training.

The design was initially noted for its powerful armament of six five-inch ( 127 mm ) guns and three triple torpedo mounts.

The Germans were also fond of large destroyers, but while the initial Type 1934 displaced over 3, 000 tons, their armament was equal to smaller vessels.

The military scout airplane was not expected to carry serious armament, but rather to rely on its speed to reach the scout or reconnoiter location and return quickly to report — essentially an aerial horse.

It was not considered unreasonable to use World War I-style armament to counter enemy fighters as there was insufficient air to air combat during most of the period to disprove this notion.

The term " frigate " was used because such ships still mounted their principal armament on a single continuous upper deck.

The lower deck, known as the " gun deck ", now carried no armament, and functioned as a " berth deck " where the crew lived, and was in fact placed below the waterline of the new frigates.

Contrary to America's policy which restrained armament ( limited equipment was provided for infantry and police forces ) to South Korea, Stalin extensively armed Kim Il Sung's North Korean army and air forces with military equipment ( to include T-34 / 85 tanks ) and " advisors " far in excess of those required for defensive purposes ) in order to facilitate Kim's ( a former Soviet Officer ) aim of conquering the rest of the Korean peninsula.

The daishō was the symbolic armament of the Edo period samurai.

Due to torpedo improvements in range and accuracy, emphasis was placed on a secondary armament of smaller guns to defend against them.

Main armament was eight 21 cm guns, but with six 15 cm and eighteen 8. 8 cm guns for smaller targets.

Main armament was twelve 28 cm guns.

Main armament was five double turrets housing twin 30. 5 cm guns, arranged with two turrets fore and aft and one in the centre of the ship.

In Vietnam, the M113 was often fitted with extra armament and used as an ad-hoc Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

A major strategical defeat in the Battle of Moscow forced Albert Speer, who was appointed as Germany's armament minister in early 1942, to nationalize German war production and eliminate the worst inefficiencies.

The question of whether or not it could fill its original role as the main armament of all tanks was still open.

It is unclear how much armament was actually produced there ; Schindler and some of the workers claimed in the immediate post-war years that there had been no production that would have been useful to the German war effort, and even that some or all of the output had been deliberately faulty product.

A linkless ammunition feed system was developed for the upgraded M61A1, which subsequently became the standard cannon armament of U. S. fighters.

During an American bombing raid on August 24, 1944 that was directed at a nearby armament factory, several bombs, including incendiaries, also fell on the camp, resulting in heavy casualties amongst the prisoners ( 2, 000 prisoners wounded & 388 killed by the raid ).

Above all, he wanted to ensure that the Navy would have a pre-eminent role in Hitler's Weltreich and armament priorities far beyond what it could hope to achieve in this war " Hitler saw the conquest of the Soviet Union, which was intended to give Germany lebensraum and with it control of enough of Eurasia, to provide sufficient Autarky to challenge the sea powers and carry out Raeder's plans for trans-oceanic expansionism.

This advance was quickly ushered into service, in the Fokker E. I ( Eindecker, or monoplane, Mark 1 ), the first single seat fighter aircraft to combine a reasonable maximum speed with an effective armament ; Max Immelmann scored the first confirmed kill in an Eindecker on 1 August.

Fitted with a developed version of this gear, the M. 5 became the Fokker Eindecker which, due to its revolutionary armament, became one of the most feared aircraft over the western front, its introduction leading to a period of German air superiority known as the Fokker Scourge until the balance was restored by aircraft such as the Nieuport 11 and Airco DH. 2.

The Chinese severely damaged four Japanese warships — the Japanese flagship Matsushima suffered the worst single-ship loss with more than 100 dead or wounded after being hit by a heavy Chinese round ; Hiei being severely damaged and retired from the conflict ; Akagi suffering from heavy fire and with great loss of life ; Saikyo, the converted liner, urged on by Admiral Kabayama Sukenori despite its lack of offensive armament, had been hit by four 12 inch ( 305 mm ) shells and was sailing virtually out of control as a result — did cosmetic damage to two more, and killed about 180 Japanese sailors and wounded 200 more.

With powerful armament, stealth technology that allows it to fly virtually undetected, and other accoutrements ( such as infrared scanners, powerful microphones and cameras, and a U-Matic VCR ), Blue Thunder appears to be a formidable tool in the war on crime.

The first 10 T-26s were assembled in July 1931 – they were identical to British Vickers 6-Ton tanks except for their armament.

Except for the armament, lvrbv 701 is identical to the Pansarvärnsrobotbandvagn 551 ATGM carrier.

Muzzleloaders have to be manually reloaded after each shot ; a skilled archer could fire multiple arrows faster than most early muskets could be reloaded and fired, although by the mid-18th century, when muzzleloaders became the standard small armament of the military, a well-drilled soldier could fire six rounds in a minute using prepared cartridges in his musket.

hoplitai ) derives from " hoplon " (, plural hopla ), the type of the shield used by the soldiers, although, as a word, " hopla " could also denote weapons held or even full armament.

In reality Graf Spee's gunfire did not " straddle " Exeter until 0623 after three salvoes, and her main armament fire was not " split " between the British ships until 0630, although these events are shown happening immediately.

Several of the Locusts also were fitted with Littlejohn adaptors to increase the range and penetration power of their main armament, although it is not clear how many were fitted or if they were fitted at manufacture or after they reached the squadron.

In this capacity, he was instrumental in establishing the Luftwaffe, originally responsible for armament production although Ernst Udet was soon making most of the decisions concerning contracts for military aircraft.

Reynaud's reforms proved remarkably successful ; a massive austerity program was implemented ( although armament measures were not cut ) and France's coffers expanded from 37 billion francs in September 1938 to 48 billion francs at the outbreak of war a year later.

Initially the armament was a Type 91 6. 5 mm machine gun, although in later models this was replaced by a Type 92 7. 7 mm machine gun.

UNPROFOR was deployed throughout the region to maintain the ceasefire, although in practice its light armament and restricted rules of engagement meant that it was little more than an observer force.

Its primary armament was not cannon ( long guns or carronades )— although bomb vessels carried a few cannon for self-defence — but rather mortars mounted forward near the bow and elevated to a high angle, and projecting their fire in a ballistic arc.

They formed a small part of the armament on larger ships, with two or four guns only being carried, although on smaller, experimental steam vessels they, and the much larger canon-obusier de 150, of 27 cm bore, were proportionately more important, the paddle steamer Météore, for example, carrying three canon-obusier de 80 pieces and six small carronades in 1833.

V, which had a shorter barrel, was lighter and had a higher rate of fire ( desirable in aircraft armament ), although at the expense of some muzzle velocity.

Published design drawings and commentary by concept artist Peter McKinstry indicates that this section is capable of opening to deploy alternative weapons which would traverse around the midsection to replace the standard armament, although this has yet to be seen on screen.

This consists of the SOZH-M gunner's main sight with integrated laser range-finder and missile-guidance channel, the Vesna-K targeting system with thermal imaging camera and automatic target tracker AST-B, an armament stabilisation system, a ballistic computer with data input sensors and a PL-1 IR laser projector.

The only armament the Nirvana carries are a series of turrets that encompasses the ship's hull, all which fire a laser that automatically locks-on to enemy units, while bypassing all friendly units.

The vehicle is based on the hull of Leopard 1 tank with a large fully rotating turret carrying the armament — a pair of 35 mm Oerlikon KDA autocannons and the two radar dishes — a general search radar at the rear of the turret and the tracking radar, and a laser rangefinder, at the front between the guns.

The design boasts a powerful armament in the form of one heavy double-mount plasma cannon ( the big guns mounted forward ), two particle / laser turrets ( mounted on either side of the forward hull ), eight medium pulse cannon turrets ( the bubble-like turrets mounted all over the ship ), and two heavy missile launchers.
