Download or read book Soviet Aircraft Industry written by Peter G Dancey and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2017-04-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soviet aircraft industry was an essential part of the USSR’s campaign for global dominance in the twentieth century. Thanks to the thick fog of secrecy that enveloped it throughout the Cold War, it has long inspired the fascination of analysts and enthusiasts in the West; until the collapse of the USSR in 1991, details of Soviet aircraft were often a matter of conjecture. This book aims to uncover fully the mystery surrounding this topic. Drawing on original and previously unpublished information obtained directly from the former USSR, Soviet Aircraft Industry examines the unique characteristics of Soviet-designed aircraft—particularly military types, which were the cause of great concern to the West. Further, by virtue of the industry’s central role throughout Soviet history, this book provides a rare and important perspective into the broader theme of Russia’s great communist experiment.

Download or read book March of 1942 written by Juan Fraile-Nuez and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-03-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time-based research about the Soviet Aircraft Industry during the period of the Great Patriotic War, which merges historical facts, written communications, the situation at the front, the needs of the Soviet Air Force and the hardships of its industry to support the war. The work focuses on the Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik and its developments throughout the war and relies on other designers to give an overall image. To complete this 67 books research work, three generations were required. The first generation wrote the story, the second collected and kept such documents, and the third generation searched for, compiled, verified them, and put them into this research work, translating them from Russian and German to Spanish and vice-versa. To carry out this extensive and precise work, more than 25,000 official documents from the archives of the Russian Federation and Germany have been translated and verified, hoping that the vast amount of data being published in the West for the first time can improve the understanding of the Soviet Aircraft Industry during this period. The book series is strictly focused on the Soviet aircraft industry during a month period and it was not planned to include orders of battle, because the research focuses on the aviation industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in the 1930s, the Soviet Air Force's long-range bomber arm (known initially as the ADD and later as the DA) proved itself during the Second World War and continued to develop in the immediate post-war years, when the former allies turned Cold War opponents. When the strategic bomber Tu-4 was found to be too 'short-legged' to deliver strikes against the main potential adversary - the USA, both Tupolev and Myasishchev OKBs began the task by creating turbine-engined strategic bombers. By the Khrushchev era in the mid/late 1950's the Soviet defence industry and aircraft design bureaux set about adapting the bombers to take air-launched missiles for use against land and sea targets and in 1962 the DA fielded its first supersonic aircraft - the Tu-22 Blinder twinjet, which came in pure bomber and missile strike versions. The Brezhnev years saw a resurgence of strategic aviation with the Tu-22M Backfire 'swing-wing' supersonic medium bomber entering service in the mid-1970s followed in 1984 by the Tu-95MS Bear-H and Tu-160 Blackjack which were capable of carrying six and 12 air-launched cruise missiles respectively. Soviet Strategic Aviation in the Cold War shows how the DA's order of battle changed in the period from 1945 to 1991. Major operations including the air arm's involvement in the Afghan War, the Cold War exercises over international waters in the vicinity of the 'potential adversary' and the shadowing of NATO warships are covered together with details of Air Armies, bomber divisions and bomber regiments, including their aircraft on a type-by-type basis. Over 500 photos, most of which are previously unpublished in the West, are supplemented by 61 colour profiles, colour badges and line drawings of the aircraft and their weapons, making this an essential reference source for the historian and modeller alike.
