Their mission, here in Guatemala's wild north: Blow up dozens of clandestine airstrips used by planes laden with Colombian cocaine. Drug Enforcement Administration estimates that 70 percent of the cocaine that ends up in the United States passes through Central America. Guatemala's sparsely inhabited Peten region is the last stop before the drugs cross into Mexico on their way north. It is here that Guatemalan drug-trafficking organizations serve as a link between their Mexican and Colombian counterparts, unloading and splitting up tons of cocaine into smaller shipments that can be transported more easily by land.

But even as the latter entered service, its replacement was in full development. Fifteen years after, when the Leopard 2 was unveiled, this was a sensation, which has not been challenged since. The new one was bought not only by customers of the previous Leopard, but a cohort of new customers joined in. The Leopard 2 remains, as of today, for most defense experts, the 1 MBT in Europe and, for many, the 1 worldwide, with a perfect balance between firepower, protection and mobility. Development Early development started right after the Leopard came into production in At that stage, new intelligence reports stated the Soviets, who had already presented the mm armed T , were about to start building the mm 4. In response, Rheinmetall was already working on the L44 mm 4.

Development[ edit ] Construction concepts pioneered in the DH. By the early-mids, de Havilland had a reputation for innovative high-speed aircraft with the DH. There were, however, counter-arguments that, although such a design had merit, it would not necessarily be faster than enemy fighters for long. The idea of a small, fast bomber gained support at a much earlier stage than is sometimes acknowledged though it was likely that the Air Ministry envisaged it using light alloy components. Based on his experience with the Albatross, Geoffrey de Havilland believed that a bomber with a good aerodynamic design and smooth, minimal skin area, would exceed the P.
Jack the Ripper , 91BG , famed for having shepherded the first 8AF crew to return to the US, is the last B to see combat from the original complement of bombers which began operations in August Hunter had largely eschewed fighter escort in favor of fighter sweeps until he was relieved in August At the time the 8AF fighter complement was composed of Ps, each with a maximum combat radius of mi using two 75 gal droptanks. Eaker forced the issue, fighters still lacked the range to stay with the bombers for long and as such, German interceptors often simply waited for the escorts to leave before attacking. While the P and P could respectively manage a radius of mi and mi using gal droptanks, these aircraft did not arrive until after the onset of winter, and more importantly, after JUGGLER had been put into effect.
