The Problem of Space in Soviet Operational Art.

Abstract

This assay provides commentary and context to the Soviet General Staff's approach to the study and preparation of space as an arena for the conduct of military actions. These comments are based on a lecture given by General-Major I.B. Shaposhnikov at the Voroshilov Academy of the General Staff in the mid 1970s and draw upon a larger study of these issues which was under taken by the author et al.: Soviet Views on Military Operations in Space (1986). Keywords: Soviet military doctrine, Spacecraft military applications; Soviet general staff.
