Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Abstract : In this paper the author explains the roles and general capabilities of Soviet airborne forces and the nature of Soviet airborne operations. Considering that at present the USSR is believed to have eight active-duty airborne divisions, the importance and widespread use of this type of force in a future war must be considered. The author concludes that while problem areas in training and support of airborne units do exist, the Soviet Union does possess a considerable potential to employ airborne forces in a variety of missions.
