Besides "Flogger" and "Hind," the Soviet Air Force is also deploying the Sukhoi-designed "Fencer-A," an interdiction fighter-bomber which is the first Soviet jet aircraft specifically designed for a ground attack role, as well as greatly-improved versions of the SU-17 "Fitter-C/D" and MIG-21 "Fishbed-J/K/L/N" jet fighters which both feature much-upgraded avionics systems and new air-to-ground guided weaponry.
His final chapter takes sharp notice of the vast Soviet/Warsaw Pact military buildup, but Cordier optimistically contends that the United States and NATO have a capacity for operational and technological integration far beyond that of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. He further asserts that this capacity for integration would substantially enhance NATO combat readiness during crisis-period mobilization and, with West European economic potential, permit the ongoing NATO program for total technological interoperability and standardization to reach full fruition.Accompanied by a generously detailed set of appendices on key NATO and Warsaw Pact combat equipment, the work reflects a generally solid utilization of recent source materials on the topic. As such, Professor Cordier's monograph should stand as an excellent discussion of this crucial issue which, if it sacrifices an occasional point for brevity's sake, is still better than a number of other recent literary efforts of similar scope and intent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
