This title explores the history of the airborne troops, the elite striking arm of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, from their inception in 1930 until the fall of the USSR.
Established in 1932, the Vozdushno-desantnye voyska ("air-landing forces," or VDV) of the Red Army led the way in airborne doctrine and practice. Though they were initially handicapped by a lack of infrastructure, due in part to a turbulent political climate in the 1930s, they still conducted major drops during World War II, including at the Dnepr River in September 1943.
After the war ended, the VDV became independent of the Air Force and were elevated to the role of strategic asset. The newly rebuilt divisions were now organized and trained to conduct deep insertions behind enemy lines, attacking command-and-control facilities, lines of communication, and key infrastructure targets such as nuclear power plants. This training came into play in numerous Cold War confrontations, including Soviet operations in Hungary (1956) and Czechoslovakia (1968). During the Soviet war in Afghanistan (1979--89), the VDV proved to be the most formidable of the Mujahideen's opponents, with the development of the air assault concept--the transport, insertion, and support of air-landed troops by helicopter rather than parachute.
This title explores the development of the VDV from its conception in 1930 to their role in the Cold War and in the later invasion of Afghanistan. Supported by contemporary photography and specially commissioned artwork of uniforms and battlescenes, this title is a comprehensive and engaging guide to the history of airborne forces in the Soviet period.

Описание: 'Java is heaven, Burma is hell, but you never come back alive from New Guinea' - Japanese military saying The capture of Lae was the most complex operation for the Australian army in the Second World War. In many ways it was also a rehearsal for the D-Day invasion of France, with an amphibious landing combined with the first successful large-scale Allied airborne operation of the war. D-Day New Guinea brings together the extraordinary stories of the Australian, American and Japanese participants in this battle, and of the fight against the cloying jungle, the raging rivers and the soaring mountain ranges that made New Guinea such a daunting battlefield. Phillip Bradley brings a compelling clarity, humanity and new insight into a little known but crucial Australian battle of the Pacific War.
Mark Galeotti's new study of both the combat vehicles of Russia's legendary Spetsnaz special forces and the whole range of unique and modified vehicles that Russia's elite units use, from combat snowmobiles to the world's biggest water-cannon.
Elite forces need elite vehicles. As Vladimir Putin has devoted effort and funds into modernizing Russia's armed forces and turning them into an instrument geared not just for defending the Motherland but also projecting power beyond its borders, Russia has seen a growing emphasis on special and specialist forces. Traditionally, the elite Spetsnaz commandos had to make do with regular vehicles or civilian-based "technicals, not least to conceal their presence (or, indeed, very existence). Now, increasingly at the forefront of Russian power projection, the Spetsnaz are acquiring more capable, versatile vehicles, such as the paratroopers' BTR-D personnel carrier, and also experimenting with exotic, specialist new acquisitions, such as the Chaborz M-3 buggy and Yamaha Grizzly all-terrain vehicle. The other elite branches of Russia's forces, such as the Arctic-warfare troops of the 200th Independent Motor Rifle Brigade, the paratroopers of the Air Assault Troops (VDV), the Naval Infantry, and the elite units of the security forces are also developing and fielding new vehicles for their specialist roles, from combat snowmobiles to urban-warfare vehicles. From highly-mobile LMVs able to operate in the deserts of Syria or the streets of Ukraine, through dedicated fire-support vehicles such as the air-droppable Sprut-SD or the massive BMPT "Terminator," to amphibious tanks and drone-equipped security trucks, these are the workhorses of Russia's special forces. This study explores all these combat vehicles in detail, combining expert analysis from Russia expert Mark Galeotti with highly accurate full-color illustrations and photographs.

Описание: The trilogy ends with "Everyone Comes Home." Jack has a serious clash with Pentagon superiors threatening to resign his commission over a debacle in Grenada. He loses men due to incompetent units, and what he considers the immoral Rules of Engagement. Jack graduates with a master's degree from the prestigious War College, returning to the Rangers with combat operations in Panama and Somalia. When Jack has two platoons ready to take back the embassy in Iran when it is stormed by student dissidents, he is told to stand down from his brilliant plan. An operation by the Delta Force totally fails. As a new Brigadier, Jack returns to the 101st. The incompetent Orin Jensen is surprisingly promoted as commander of the division. Just as the sounds of war are heard from the Middle East, Orin collapses with acute appendicitis. Jack takes command of the division making an historic flight with 100 Apache and Black Hawk helicopters from Ft. Campbell up the Potomac River, past the Pentagon, leap frogging across the North Atlantic through Europe to Saudi Arabia, when Iraq attacks Kuwait. This action is key to thwart Iraq's planned attack on Saudi Arabia. Jack is promoted to head the XVIII Airborne Corps. Meanwhile their different moves have allowed multiple teaching positions for Mary Clarke. Jack receives his fourth star and sent to the Pentagon where he is given a large research project to evaluate the basic military skills of all major Amy units. In the Middle East he and his driver are ambushed. While wounded he is still able to take out four enemy soldiers, saving his driver before he passes out. Jack and Mary Clarke decide to semi-retire, but Jack is offered the opportunity to teach at West Point. Four years later Mary Clarke retires as a full professor at Columbia University. The cadet corps make a special request to have a Pass-in-Review parade to honor the general, followed by lunch and a speech by Jack on a topic of his choice. In attendance are an unexpected contingency of over thirty Generals and Command Sergeant Majors, having played a part in Jack's astonishing career. Jack delivers a surprising speech covering topics unexpected by all. Later, there is another surprise with a telephone message, asking Jack to return a call by someone that has likely read his new book Unjust War Theory and perhaps listened to his speech.
An important guide that highlights the multiphase chemical processes for students and professionals who want to learn more about aerosol chemistry
Atmospheric Multiphase Reaction Chemistry provides the information and knowledge of multiphase chemical processes and offers a review of the fundamentals on gas-liquid equilibrium, gas phase reactions, bulk aqueous phase reactions, and gas-particle interface reactions related to formation of secondary aerosols.

Описание: The US Airborne force fielded some of the toughest, best-trained and most resourceful troops of World War II - all necessary qualities in a force that was lightly armed and which would in most operational circumstances be surrounded from the moment it landed on the battlefield. The German Wehrmacht grew to rely on a series of defensive measures to combat the airborne threat, including fortifications, localized reserves, and special training to help intercept and disrupt airborne troops both in the air and on the ground. Despite such methods it was cool-headed command and control that would prove to be the real key to blunting the Airborne's edge.
Using specially commissioned artwork, this book examines the development of the American airborne forces that spearheaded the Allied effort in Sicily, Normandy and Operation Market Garden, and the German countermeasures that evolved in response to the threat of Allied airborne landings.
