Factory trials started on 8 May; on 9 June prototypes were brought to the Sofrinsky firing ground near Moscow.

Agassi, who lost to Federer in the championship match last year, will be the story line of the United States Open for as long as he is firing ground strokes.

A year later, together with his men he worked out the German Army firing ground at the village of Blizna, where V-2 rockets were tested (see also Home Army and V1 and V2).

The area continued to be settled since the Middle Ages, but the name "Uchinada" did not appear in history books until 1952, with the occurrence of the United States Military Firing Ground Condemnation Conflict.
