MUTINY ON STOROZHEVOY    A Case Study of Dissent in the Soviet Navy by Gregory D. Young

In November 1975, a group of sailors led by the ship's political officer took over the Soviet "Krivak" class destroyer "Storozhevoy" and attempted to sail to Sweden to seek asylum. They were attacked and turned back by Soviet naval and air units. Information of this dramatic event which has never been acknowledged by the Soviets, made it to the West only piece by piece. It was the intent of this study to assemble all available data for critical analysis to determine potential causes and implications.

That looks like it is a far better tool than the Hurst Jaws of Life as far was cutting goes. Faster, no hydraulic cable, etc. Definitely not as powerful but for sheet metal and such it definitely seems impressive.

No go due to fire from powder charge. Not safe around gas leaks.

I mean yeah, that's a Belenko anecdote also mentioned by Young in his article "MUTINY ON STOROZHEVOY".

But can anyone remember the author of "The Threat"?

It was fully of anecdotes like that (including the joke that sopranos in the Red Army Choir came from the tank corps...because of the auto-loaders!)

It's the engagement circles of Soviet air defenses around Moscow, and the principle cities where the launch sites were located, apparently for the S-25 Berkut (NATO SA-1 Guild) missile system

So really quite old now, but fascinating to see. The OP's link has that photo waaaayyyy down toward the bottom somewhere--it's more of a photo essay without much context.

ETA: My guess based on the ranges shown is that the green circles are EW radars, and the SAMs themselves are the yellow and red wedges around Moscow. The blue might be some intermediate radar, but I think each site (all of those wedges) had their own radars to guide their missiles.

In true Soviet fashion, they poured a LOT of resources in a short period of time to solve that problem.

The MiG-25 was called ‘the booze truck’ or the Russian equivalent because of the alcohol used to cool the radars.

Huh. Big missile needs big plane. Another part of the system. Don't know if we thought about putting air-launched versions of SAMs on a B-29 to use it as an interceptor.
G-400 Interceptor aircraft. These were Tu-4 with G-300 (izdelie 210, downsized version of V-300 with aerial launch) missiles.

My MRAP (MaxxPro-Plus) got hit by one of these in Mosul, fortunately it hit in the rear quarter and didn't do much damage and nobody got hurt.  My Gunner actually saw the guy throwing it, thought is was a small pipe bomb until the little drogue chute popped out the back.  My Gunner couldn't engage the thrower because he was in the middle of a crowd of people at the bazaar.  Come to find out later the Leader took a wrong turn and that's how we ended up trundling through the bazaar.

Their Gsh-30-1 single-barreled 30mm cannon is capable of puking out 30 rounds a second, although I think it artificially reduced to 25/second to prolong barrel life.  The operating spring impinges on an "accelerator" lever, since the rounds must be fed and ejected at a velocity nearing or possibly even in excess of rate-of-expansion of the spring.  They've had interesting, ridiculously-high-rate-of-fire machine guns dating back to the 1920s with the ShKas machine gun.

The stranded-wire spring was invented by the Soviets to provide a spring that wouldn't fail within a few hundred cycles from that kind of abuse.

Fake pic but real concept:

The author of the project, Boris Ushakov, was working on the project as an engineer and military technician in 1937-1938. The name of the vehicle was “Flying Submarine”. In other words, it was a plane able to submerge in the water. It underwent many modifications, in its latest version it represented a solid metal plane whose flying speed was 100 knots, speed under the water – about 3 knots.

The hammer spring and the extractor spring in the AK are both stranded-wire springs.  I think the intent of using 3 wires in the hammer spring, which is a torsion spring, is simply to take advantage of the higher tensile strength and lower stress levels of the smaller wires - the strength of drawn wire increases tremendously as one progresses down to the smaller grades.  If it were made of a single wire, it would "take a set" at a lesser angle of deflection. The intent in the extractor spring, as in an operating spring, is to damp a mechanical "surge wave" and limit operating stresses and bouncing of the extractor.

I've seen pictures of stranded-wire operating springs in AKs, but mine doesn't have one.  I don't know if there was a variant that had one as standard.  Stranded-wire springs actually give inferior service life if they are NOT loaded quickly enough, so replacing a homogeneous single-wire spring with a stranded-wire spring is not always advisable.  I just checked a technical report on the ShKas machine gun that I have, and with the gas regulator fully-open, it is puking out an astonishing 36 rounds per second.  That is almost twice as fast as an MG42!  I believe the stranded-wire (made of 2 wires instead of 3, strangely) was invented for that weapon.

I started watching Jive when he was just streaming Cold Waters games. He would talk about his knowledge and experiences (as much as he could) during the game streams but started doing whiteboard videos when his viewers started asking for it. Pretty awesome that he's turned it all into a career. (he also writes for Warzone magazine now) His sonar clip analysis videos are fantastic.

He bought it for like $12K when the wall fell and sold it when he sold the dealership to a former Seachicken player. He got something like $1.6mil out of it, good investment. Not the same driving thru that section of I-5 since he sold everything off.
