Soviet Weapons of the Atomic Age
Volume II in Safar Publishing’s new series exploring the Soviet arsenal
The Soviet Army took part in no large-scale conflicts between the end of the Second World War and the Afghan War, leaving the early Cold-War era poorly studied. Uniforms, equipment, vehicles, and—most of all—weapons from this period have never been thoroughly documented.
This volume fills that gap. It surveys nearly every infantry weapon issued by the Soviet Army after 1945—from wartime holdovers to the latest designs of the Soviet armaments industry.
Covered weapon categories
Pistols
Sniper rifles
Automatic rifles
Machine guns
Grenade launchers
Heavy infantry weapons
Elegantly laid out in a contemporary design and illustrated with hundreds of high-resolution, full-colour photographs printed on photo-grade paper, Soviet Weapons of the Atomic Age is an indispensable reference for anyone interested in firearms or Soviet military history.
