*Peter Suciu* *Firearms, * While many Cold War-era submachine guns have been taken out of production and even service, the Italian-made Beretta Model 12S shows no signs of going away anytime soon. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Beretta Model 12 first saw action in the Vietnam War when it was used by members of the Viet Cong who were carrying the weapon. It has seen use in combat in the Lebanese Civil War, the Iran-Iraq War and most recently the Libyan Civil War. Stocks of the weapon were also reportedly used by the IRA during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. As the wo...

An Age of Heroes? The setting of the ancient Greek myths
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Once again we reenter this discussion. No one takes notice of the work twenty years ago by Da vinci. He relocated the whole Homeric cycle up in the Baltic. From the text we know that the trojan War took place around 1179 BC. We also know that a massive tsunami elimited coastal Scotland and obviously much else twenty years later in 1159 BC. This is pinned down by tree ring dating which also established a climate collapse lasting twenty years in Northern Europe. Thus the Dorian invasion had to be the Greek peoples fleeing the Baltic. It would takes a summer to tramp south in...

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* Japan had a plan to build 14 Unryu-class carriers, but it suffered from a serious lack of reality. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Japanese war effort was so unbalanced and so crippled by industrial and managerial weaknesses that the June 30, 1942, aircraft carrier plan was little more than a feverish reaction to Coral Sea and Midway.

In the 1990s, China introduced its answer to the MiG-29 and F-16. The J-10 was a light single-seat multirole aircraft meant to replace older J-7 and J-8 aircraft as the bulk of forces a possible adversary would meet.
