cuirassier

Napoleonic era. A type of heavy cavalry that got its name from the cuirass, the French word for breast plate. The idea was large men upon powerful horses, who were able to charge head-on into the enemy and expose and flanks or holes left in the lines of infantry after an artillery barrage. They were equipped with a cuirass, a long sword, two pistols and eventually a carbine.

After the artillery finsished its barrage, the cuirassiers charged the broken lines of infantry.

The UH-60. The U.S. Army's main transport helicopter. Has variants such as the MH-60, HH-60 "Pavehawk" and the AH-60 Direct Air Penetrator.

Blackhawk Down is an awesome movie which features this helicopter getting shot down.
