Military applications emerged fairly early in the infancy of aviation, in the form of first trials to establish the superiority of the third dimension over the battlefield. Well- known examples include the balloon reconnaissance efforts made in France even before the birth of the aircraft, and it was not long before the first generation of flimsy, underpowered aircraft were being tested in a military environment. The Italians used aircraft for reconnaissance missions at Tripoli in 1910-1912, and the Americans made their first attempts at taking air power to sea as early as 1910-1911.

  • The Mission a Word with Your Press - Publishers and Purveyors of Fine Stories
    The Mission A Word With Your Press - Publishers and Purveyors of Fine Stories page 1 / 5 The Mission A Word With Your Press - Publishers and Purveyors of Fine Stories Tom Favia is one of the very few veterans whose distinguished service record includes Combat Missions during Peacetime, and we are fortunate he chose AWwYP to share this exciting story. When I first read his story, I was captured by the cat and mouse games he played with the Soviet Army. He faced down the Stasi – the official state security service of East Germany, Soviet troops and artillery, and he was armed only with a Maglite and a camera. Tom’s story is a day in his life espionage and intrigue. The real stuff, the kind of job we’ve seen in movies and thought, “Dang, that would be fun!” So, here’s Tom’s story. Read and enjoy. I sure did. The Mission Berlin, a cold autumn morning in 1989. We checked our kit and personal gear, made sure we had our passes then drove our Mercedes G-Wagon out of the compound. Our destination, East Germany. Driving toward the Glienicke Bridge the Tour Officer and I discussed matters pertaining to our targets as we approached the official crossing point from West Berlin into Potsdam. Both of us were experienced in this kind of mission but knew that this, like previous tours, sometime take unexpected turns. Crossing into East Germany was like entering another world. I turned and took one last look at the grass and trees lining the roads and the explosion of colors of the houses in West Berlin as we approached Glienicke Bridge.

  • NIGHT SNIPER by Aleksandr Petrenko, Translation and Commentary by Lester W
    NIGHT SNIPER by Aleksandr Petrenko, translation and commentary by Lester W. Grau1 The views expressed in this article are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the U.S. Army, Department of Defense or the U. S. Government. Before the first Chechen War, there was not a single combat-ready division in the Russian Army. There had not been a single regimental or division-sized exercise in two years and most battalions were lucky to get to the field for a week of training in a year. Units were chronically under strength. Consequently, the Russian Army formed composite units from untrained and partially-trained companies and battalions from across Russia. Normal Russian TO&E motorized rifle units had a “sniper” per platoon. This was not so much a sniper, in the Western understanding of a field-wise crack shot who would hunt his prey in the combat zone, as a platoon marksman who made the hard shots beyond the 300 meter maximum effective range of the Kalashnikov assault rifle. The “sniper” was supposed to be protected by one of the platoon riflemen. The sniper’s assigned weapon was the Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunskaya (SVD) . The SVD was introduced into the Soviet Army in 1963. The SVD is a 7.62mm 10-shot semiautomatic rifle that mounts a four-power PSO-1 scope and is calibrated out to 1,300 meters but is not very effective over 800. The SVD is not nearly as rugged or soldier-friendly as the rugged Kalashnikov family of small arms.

  • Vol 30 Issue 3
    review from the editor's aerie Any dream of aerial conflict is merely the product of fertile imagination, a malady often encountered in younger men with insufficient service to recognize certain things as manifestly absurd. An anonymous Army spokesman (1911) as quoted in Air University Review. lanuary-February 1979, p. 47 One of the elder statesmen of the Air Foce recently agreed that the Air University Review is a book "written by old men for old men." That hurt! True, we have often been accused of prejudice against junior officers, women, and noncommissioned officers because of the scarcity of their articles in our pages. This is the 148th issue of the Review. Casual research in the tables of contents over this 30-year history reveals that the lead article spot is typically the stomping ground of the high and the mighty. Twice, Secretary of Defense Harold Brown has occupied the lead position, though not in his present capacity. An ambassador of the United States headed the line-up in our luly-August 1977 edition. A congressman was number one in March-April 1975. Former Secretaries of the Air Force have been the point man. also. Even a foreign ambassador to the United States supplied the lead in the September- October 1971 issue. Twenty-five four-star generals, fourteen doctors of philosophy, eight chiefs of staff, and one Air Marshal of the Royal Air Force have also led the parade. Only once in these 147 issues, however, has a junior officer made the front rank, and that was a captain in September- October 1975.

  • Arty Bty (BM-21 Grad MLRS X 6) - Widely Exported
    Arty Bty (BM-21 Grad MLRS x 6) - Widely Exported Soviet Union [-1991] Type: Mobile Vehicle(s) Commissioned: 1961 Operator: Red Army Length: 0 m Width: 0 m Crew: 1 Sensors / EW: Weapons / Loadouts: - 9M22U [Grad] 122mm Rocket - (BM-21 Grad) Rocket. Surface Max: 22.2 km. Land Max: 22.2 km. - 9M522 [Grad] 122mm Rocket - (BM-21 Grad) Rocket. Surface Max: 22.2 km. Land Max: 42.6 km. OVERVIEW: The BM-21 Grad (Grad is Russian for "Hail as in "Hailstorm") is a 122mm multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS). DETAILS: The BM-21 Grad was developed in the early 1960's and was first seen by The West in 1964. It was intended to replace WWII era MLRS systems such as the highly successful "Katyusha" rocket launcher. The BM-21 is a 122mm MLRS with 40 rifled tubes stacked horizontally in four rows of ten tubes. The tubes are on a pivoting platform attached to the bed of an unarmored 6x6 truck chassis, which give it the ability to engage different targets without moving the vehicle. The tubes are sighted in similar fashion to laying a mortar using sights mounted on the left side of the launcher. The 40 rockets can be ripple fired in about 20 seconds. The launcher was initially mounted on a Ural 375D 6x6 truck and upgraded to a Ural 4320 6x6 in 1976, but the launcher is versatile enough that it could be mounted on many different types of truck. The rockets themselves are unguided ballistic rockets and are over nine feet long.
