I have heard on several occasions mention of the Sarajevo approach, which was often used in the Bosnian war of 1992 - 1995. Typically a turboproped aircraft would approach the airport at FL100 and at 4.0 DME to the threshold push the nose down, whilst going into Beta to avoid Vne.

An example of the final profile is shown in the video below (this was to avoid small arms fire on approach)
