Red SAM: The SA-2 Guideline Anti-Aircraft Missile by Steven J Zaloga

ISBN: 9781846030628 PUBLISHER: Osprey Group
FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 48 PUBLICATION DATE: 2007

DESCRIPTION: Osprey New Vanguard Series No. 134 The Russian SA-2, nicknamed Red SAM,is history's dominant antiaircraft missile. In 1960, it famously downed Gary Powers' U-2 spyplane, and two years later it was one of the missiles deployed during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which almost sparked a nuclear showdown between America and the UssR. The SA-2 was also deployed in Vietnam, North Korea, Egypt, and even the Gulf War. Using photographs, color artwork, and rare accounts from the weapon's designers, Steven J Zaloga examines the missile's development, linking this to its massive impact on Cold War air campaigns, and investigates the design changes that have helped the SA-2 stand the test of time.
