Description

Soviet Cold War Fighters looks at the main periods of the development of the Soviet fighter designs; generation by generation; covering all the important features and developments of each generation (a total of four generations of fighter developed from the late 1940s to the late 1970s/early 1980s) and the most emblematic combat employments of the members of the generation. In separate boxes; pilot/designer/maintainer comments are inserted as well as other interesting facts and figures about the aircraft; their weapons and the instances of combat employment. Soviet Cold War Fighters explains the Cold War background of the technological developments behind the front-line fighter types in the Soviet Union; detailing where; when and how these aircraft were deployed and what was their impact on the Cold War developments; especially their role for delivering tactical nuclear weapons or their capability to counter attacks by US/NATO strategic bombers; carrying nuclear weapons. This approach has allowed Alexander Mladenov a greater flexibility in revealing new and previously unknown or little-known facts and figures.
