Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, marked the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the largest conventional war in Europe since 1945. What started off as a hybrid conflict of plausible deniability, soon spread to the Donbas, and then, on 24 February 2022, was escalated into an all-out invasion of Ukraine by Russia. What has not changed since 2014 is the dominant role that the artillery has played on the battlefield and that in the armed services of both sides. As of February 2022, the gun artillery systems designed in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR; colloquially 'Soviet Union') have formed the backbone of the artillery forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (ZSU). Because many of them were worn out already during the eight years of the war in the Donbas, and stockpiles of ammunition were rapidly exhausted in order to blunt the invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (VSRF), starting in mid-2022, Western allies of Ukraine began supplementing and, in some cases, replacing Soviet-designed artillery system by towed- and self-propelled guns of own design. Although relatively small in number even three years later, these systems have not only proved qualitatively superior to Soviet-legacy systems, but also played a critical role in the defence of Ukraine, enabling the ZSU to shift away from the Soviet-style massed fire towards one that emphasises precision, and deploys artillery as a force multiplier. The tenth book in this mini-series within the EuropeatWar series, the War in Ukraine, Volume 10: Ukrainian- & Western-Designed Artillery Systems, 2022-2024 is based on extensive research with help of first-hand sources, and richly illustrated by authentic photography and documentation, and custom-drawn colour profiles and diagrams. AUTHOR: Wen Jian Chung is a PhD student at the University of California, Irvine with a long-term interest in the development of weapons systems originating in the former Soviet Union. 124 colour photos, 18 colour profiles, 4 b/w photos, 1 colour map, 5 diagrams, 2 tables Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Soviet military doctrine long placed great emphasis upon the use of massed artillery and its use was honed to a fine art during the Great Patriotic War. In the early part of the Cold War this arm was allowed to atrophy in an era where it was expected that nuclear weapons would dominate the battlefield from the outset. During the 1960s, 70s and 80s however the Soviet artillery arm underwent a renaissance and large numbers of the resulting generation of weapons systems were passed on to the inheritor states of the USSR in the 1990s. While Russia was able to maintain its Soviet-legacy artillery systems, and introduce some new developments, Ukraine was much less able to do so and in particular lacked the levels of ammunition reserves and manufacturing capability of Russia. Inevitably, Ukraine turned to the West and began to receive weapons and ammunition from NATO and allied nations. Despite the critical role gun artillery plays in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, the technical aspects and histories of the individual artillery systems used by both sides have received relatively little attention in English, where they are often lumped together as generic 'artillery'. This book aims to rectify this deficiency in the accessible literature and examine the major tube artillery systems and mortars employed by both sides in this conflict. War in Ukraine Volume 9: Artillery 2022-2024 is illustrated throughout with original colour photographs and the atWar series signature colour artworks.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Examines the development of Soviet legacy MBTs by Ukraine in the post-Soviet era into models including the Bulat and Oplot, and the refurbishment and modernization of T-64, T-72 and T-80 models. The two largest heirs to the massive Soviet tank force that faced NATO during the Cold War - Russia and Ukraine - have been fighting one another since 2014 in what has now become the largest war in Europe since 1945. Volume 5 of the War in Ukraine series examines the development of Soviet legacy MBTs by Ukraine in the post- Soviet era into models including the Bulat and Oplot, and the refurbishment and modernization of T-64, T-72 and T-80 models to meet the need to respond to the war ongoing since 2014. Furthermore, this volume examines the organization and training of the opposed Russian and Ukrainian MBT forces and presents a number of case studies of their employment since 2014. The volume is completed with appendices on Explosive Reactive Armor as used in its various forms in this conflict, and the various types of 125mm gun ammunition and gun-launched anti-tank guided missiles used by both sides. This volume, extensively illustrated with full color images, is essential reading for the reader interested in post-Soviet Ukrainian MBT design, and the forces employed by both sides in the current war in Ukraine. The full history of the Russo-Ukrainian War remains to be written, but this book aims to at least give a background and a glimpse into one particular aspect of the war, as well as the role the MBT has played in the largest war of the twenty-first century so far.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Heirs to the massive Soviet tank force that faced NATO during the Cold War, since 2014, the Russian and Ukrainian tank forces, two largest armoured forces in Europe, are fighting on opposing sides of the RussoUkrainian War, the largest scale European conflict since the Second World War. The main battle tank (MBT) has been a critical part of land warfare. This book explores the primary MBTs used by each side of the conflict, from the latest Russian T-90M Proryv and Ukrainian BM Oplot, to the venerable Soviet T-64 that spawned them all. In particular, it takes a greater, in-depth look at some of the more neglected and misunderstood aspects of Soviet, Russian, and Ukrainian tanks and attempts to dispel some of the myths that have arisen since the Cold War. It also takes a look at the evolution in the training, doctrine, and usage of the Russian and Ukrainian tank forces as they have increasingly diverged in the aftermath of the outbreak of the war in 2014. Ukraine in particular, has made efforts to transform its military along the lines of NATO, while Russia has chosen to chart its own course. How has this affected the performance of both militaries, especially following the full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022? The full history of the RussoUkrainian War remains to be written, but this book aims to at least give a background and a glimpse into one particular aspect of the war, as well as the role the MBT has played in the largest war of the 21st century so far. 88 colour photos, 15 colour profiles, 6 diagrams, 1 graph Exploring the main battle tanks used by each side of the Russo-Ukrainian War, from the cutting edge T-90M Proryv and BM Oplot to the venerable T-64 that spawned them all.
