- Soviet Military Power was a DoD Cold War publication estimating the military strategy and capabilities of the Soviet Union. First published in 1981, it became an annual publication in 1983 until the Soviet Union crumbled in 1991. The books were published by intelligence specialists at the Defense Intelligence Agency using classified input from across the intelligence community. Those reports were distilled into unclassified into the report. To protect photographic assets, DIA artists created about 150 detailed paintings of Soviet military hardware and installations just for the book. Soviet Military Power was translated, printed, and disseminated in several languages, including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Italian. This video was Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci's thumbnail sketch of the book. Carlucci had been Deputy Director of the CIA, and the President Reagan's National Security Advisor before becoming SecDef.

Why is it that to date essentially all abandoned Cold War mega projects have been documented and properly presented through documentary , except for , the (permanently ) abandoned Soviet Naval Fleet Bunker . Is it because the radiation levels are too high ? Simply , being that said Mega Project is permanently abandoned due to , half-life , please , someone document the Soviet Naval Fleet Bunker , society deserves to see , know and learn about this most massive of Cold War facilities .

I had a copy of that!
I can't understand why the soviets spent so much on their military around 15-17% of GPD in peace time they didn't need half the nuclear forces they had. They might still be a union if they had been more sensible.
because they had to match the west collectively. NATO and US specifically for decades believed that the threat of radiation was exaggerated and that they could first strike the Union and disable the silos. Jeffrey Sachs spoke about this not too long ago, and how he told the rich elite in the West that that's madness and to not do it.
Generally, the Soviets represented a contending economic system. The power of our ruling class rests in ownership, so powerful socialist countries that attack private property will naturally have to be destroyed. In fact, all socialists countries represent ideological threat to the status quo, no too dissimilar to how liberals posed a threat to the kings of Europe.
That's why even small island nations like Grenada had to be destroyed. Being able to provide for your citizens medicine, food, work and housing to all your citizens when your GDP per capita is 10x smaller than your capitalist counterpart is a really dangerous message to the rest of the world. This plays into the Domino Theory, which CIA officer and whistleblower explained in numerous interviews
Потому что США и НАТО угрожали.Неужели не понятно?
Update, 2023. Just kidding.
This video isn’t biased at all. 😅😅
Yeah so if you talked to anyone in the Navy in the 80s they'd tell you their ships where poorly maintained. Yes they had surplus of equipment in 80s but it wasnt advanced as we thought. And after 1990 so much corruption and sales of ammo depots equip. Insane how much USSR spent on military and buran project trillions while ppl suffered
Ukraine in 2023: 😂
Not so super power after all?
One year later
3 years later...
Basically, a bunch of junk.
