    Soviet air defences and the SR-71

    Apparently the SR 71 was able to evade Soviet air defences simply because it travelled too fast. The reason I am interested in this is that there were proposals in 1960/61 for a British ramjet missile (OR 1182) which would fly at speeds in excess of M = 2 and at high altitude. A report was...

    Soviet and Russian Research Vessels

    Could some-one in the know explain what the research ships Akademik Ioffee and Akademik Vavilov were built to do? I've just been on the Ioffe and there is some interesting kit still onboard. The standard answer was that they were built in 1989 for sound propagation trials, Ioffe the transmitter...

    Soviet Leader Grigory Romanov (1985-XXXX)

    Would the history of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union have been different if Grigory Vasilyevech Romanov had been elected as Secretary General of the CPSU on March 11, 1985 rather than Mikhail Gorbachev? Thoughts?

    Original Project 705 design (1,500 ton displacement)

    I'm just wondering, have any drawings or artist impressions of the original Project 705 design, before they changed over to the design that would lead to the Alfa class, surfaced (no pun intended!) in recent times?

    Of course, we've all heard of the SPPU-22, SPPU-6 and maybe SPPU-687... but what exactly with the SPPU-30's intended role? What about the other flexible gun mounts under development in the early 80s? Some information on the PP-27 mobile gun mount for the Su-27...

    I could be mistaken, but despite the numerous mentions of BOR-4 program (which led to BOR-5 and then Buran) I haven't found a single topic devoted to it, so here goes. These pictures show the Kosmos-1445 sub-scale demonstrator being retrieved at sea after some flight test. The second one...

    Vladimir Fedorovich Savelyev's quadruplanes

    Until the early 1920s, aircraft development was based mainly on the intuition of designers. As for aerodynamics, this science was in its infancy. Suffice it to say that the concept of inductive resistance was not known at that time, which led to the emergence of "flying monsters" with three...

    Soviet decoy missiles for bombers in Cold War (similar to the ADM-20 Quail) ??

In the USA during the Cold War there were some projects about decoy missiles (i.e. the ADM-20 Quail or the Convair MX-2223), but I didn't find any info about similar projects in the Soviet Union...
