Quick updates on what we’re working on and what’s coming next. As promised, these updates will now appear roughly once every quarter. It also helps me to track my own progress.

Titles that will come out this year!
This year has brought significant progress for our publishing house. Instead of the usual single release, we have completed three new manuscripts. All are now in print, and we expect to receive the finished books by the end of autumn.
Soviet Weapons of the Atomic Age
Our third Kickstarter book is now complete, marking the second volume in the Soviet Weapons series. But what comes next? On one hand, it would make perfect sense to expand the series into other periods. On the other, the most obvious subject—Soviet weapons of World War II—might not add much that’s truly new to the publishing world.
Let me know what you think about this.
Ukrainian Armed Forces in Peacekeeping Missions
Long-awaited by many, this is the second Safar book dedicated to uniforms and equipment. It has taken over five years to bring this project to completion, and I can’t wait to finally place it on my shelf. Without a doubt, it’s one of my favorite subjects to research and reenact. Expect a good variety of camouflage patterns and unique pieces of equipment in this book!
Gallipoli
Gallipoli 1915 – The Dardanelles Disaster offers a detailed study of one of Britain’s greatest military failures and a tragic episode of the First World War. Conceived by Winston Churchill as a bold strike against the Ottoman Empire, the campaign ended in bloody defeat. Drawing on British, French, Russian, Turkish, and German sources, this text-based study examines the naval battles, landings, trench warfare, and political consequences, supported by archival photographs and detailed maps.
New books in 2026
With these projects completed, we now have the time and resources to move forward with new work. For me personally, 2026 will be a milestone year, as most of the upcoming titles are written by other authors, requiring only minimal organizational input on my part. This is an exciting development, as it allows us to explore entirely new subjects and bring greater diversity to our collection. Here are some of the books planned for release in 2026:
Other projects in work
I sill have couple more books to complete, based on my personal collection. They turned out to be much harder than I expected, yet we continue working on them, hoping that they will be released at some point. Here is a quick list of things that we are currently working on and hoping to bring to life in 2026-2027:
First Chechen War - uniforms of both sides
War in Bosnia (1992-1995) - study of history and uniforms
Zastava factory - complete visualised encyclopaedia
Soviet Day and Night oprical scopes
