SOVIET ROCKET FORCES

Abstract

The author tells of the mightiest form of Soviet Armed Forces -- the Strategic Rocket Forces. The book shows new features and possibilities gained by all armed forces after being equipped with nuclear missile weaponry. Operational-tactical missile weaponry, surface-to-air rockets, antiaircraft rockets, aircraft and ships-rocket carriers are discussed in detail. Clear examples are given of the excellent mastery of new weapons by land troops, soldiers of the antiaircraft defense, sailors and aviators; these weapons can strike the target without failing in any of the most complex conditions. The book describes love and respect of Soviet people for missilemen, and the high honor of serving in the Soviet Rocket Forces. In those sections of the book dealing with the development of rocket technology abroad, the author used data published in foreign publications.
