SynopsisThis story of fearsome multiple rocket launchers--forever associated with the Soviet Red Army and modern Russia's armed forces--will appeal to all those interested in military technology., Although military rockets have been used since the Middle Ages, it was not until the Soviet Union pioneered the concept of Multiple Rocket Launchers (MRLs), in the late 1930s, that they emerged as a decisive weapon. In the modern era, these Soviet/Russian Katyushas have served in combat in Afghanistan, Chechnya, and Georgia. Developed to fill the operational need for massed artillery fire support, the MRL possesses enormous destructive power and a devastating psychological impact. This New Vanguard provides a survey of Soviet and Russian Federation MRLs from the beginning of their development in 1938 to the present. It focuses on the history, design, and specifications of self-propelled ground MRL systems, but also covers towed, static, railway, and naval mounts. It highlights the many variants of the principal systems, and includes MRL unit tables of organization and equipment, information on MRL munition types, and coverage of dedicated MRL resupply vehicles.

A must for libraries of military studies.
Information on vehicle nomenclature and systems is good, A little more detail on vehicle usage by other countries and some photographs could have added more interest.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

the title is prefect.
it is good to see books being written about subjects that are only briefly mentioned in most books about subjects which only get little write up about them.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
