=head1 VERSION

This  is  version 0.06,  the  Fresco  version,  released on  the  49th
anniversary  of the  dogfight between  a  MiG-17 Fresco  flown by  ace
Colonel Tomb and a F-4 Phantom flown by soon-to-be-aces Cunningham and
Driscoll

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Acme::MetaSyntactic;

    my $meta = Acme::MetaSyntactic->new( 'soviet' );

    print $meta->name();          # return a single name
    my @names = $meta->name( 4 ); # return 4 distinct names (if possible)

If you want some category other than 'electronic', the second line should
read:

    my $meta = Acme::MetaSyntactic->new( 'soviet', category => 'vehicle/aircraft' );

If C<meta>  from L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> is  installed, you can  use it
from the command line:

    meta soviet

    meta soviet/vehicles/submarines

=head1 SOURCES

Note: I  have used only  sources published  I<before> the fall  of the
Soviet Union. Therefore, the module  name is C<A::MS::soviet>, with no
"ex-"  prefix. For  each  entry,  the sources  are  listed, with  page
numbers  for  most  books.  The   games  use  data  cards,  which  are
unnumbered.

Some sources, especially early  sources, may contain some errors. Some
equipment  may appear with  faulty intelligence  reports which  give a
wrong  code or  description.  And  a later  intelligence  report would
correct it.  The best  example is the  Backfire, first given  the code
"Tu-26" and then the code "Tu-22M".

=head2 Main Sources

These sources  contain extensive lists  or extensive tables  of soviet
equipment.

=head3 MISSILES

This category lists Soviet missiles  with the NATO codename and the US
designation. The missiles' Soviet  designations were still a secret at
the time  of the  Soviet Union  collapse.  You will  note that  the US
designation is  different between  the ground-to-xxx variant  (no "N")
and the ship-to-xxx  variant (with a "N"), while  the NATO codename is
the same.
