: Korkut ( ku, Têlî), is a district and eponymous city center of Muş Province of Turkey. The mayor is Haşim Arık ( AKP). History Human settlement of the area is at least 10,000 years. Korkut has a tell from which the town derived its old name. This tell is estimated to be dated to the Old Bronze Age (around 3000 BC) but has not been examined archaeologically. In the 9th century BC, the area was part of the Urartu state. The Armenian Taron kingdom ruled the town from the 4th century until the beginning of the 9th century, and the Christian diocese of Taron still hold nominal sway in the area as a titular see.

After World War I and the following " Young Turks" revolt, it was reorganized as the "General Directorate of Military Factories" in 1923. Today, the MKE is made up of 12 facilities that employ 7,430 personnel. Legal status The company's legal status has changed from state-owned enterprise to a corporation, with the Law Nr. 7330 dated July 3r ...

Surface To Air Missile
A surface-to-air missile (SAM), also known as a ground-to-air missile (GTAM) or surface-to-air guided weapon (SAGW), is a missile designed to be launched from the ground to destroy aircraft or other missiles. It is one type of anti-aircraft system; in modern armed forces, missiles have replaced most other forms of dedicated anti-aircraft weapons, with anti-aircraft guns pushed into specialized roles. The first attempt at SAM development took place during World War II, but no operational systems were introduced. Further development in the 1940s and 1950s led to operational systems being introduced by most major forces during the second half of the 1950s. Smaller systems, suitable for close-range work, evolved through the 1960s and 1970s, to modern systems that are man-portable. Shipborne systems followed the evolution of land-based models, starting with long-range weapons and steadily evolving toward smaller designs to provide a layered defence. This evolution of design increasin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
