Soviet Weapons of the Afghan War

Detailní popis produktu

The Soviet Infantry Weapons of the Afghan War is the first volume in the newest book series from Safar Publishing, which comprehensively examines the arsenals that the Soviet Union developed and deployed.

The majority of weapons utilized by the Soviet Army during its final colonial conflict in the 1980s are covered in this volume. Although the book predominantly examines firearms, its scope extends beyond conventional AK-74 rifles, which would be anticipated in a manuscript of that nature. This publication encompasses a wide range of weaponry - from pistols that were issued to Soviet officers to heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.

In contrast to popular books of a similar format, this one emphasizes the practical application of the armaments during the conflict rather than their technical aspects. A substantial amount of effort was devoted to the examination of memoirs and conducting interviews with veterans in pursuit of the completion of this publication.

Soviet Infantry Weapons of the Afghan War covers the following categories of weapons used during the Soviet-Afghan War:

• Pistols

• Sniper rifles

• Automatic rifles

• Machine Guns

• Grenade launchers 

• Heavy weapons

• Disposable grenade launchers

• Hand grenades

• Bayonets
