Amx: Brazilian-Italian Fighter-Bomber
by Zeitoun Moralez, João Paulo       
(Paperback - English - 9781950394081)
Italy began work on a new fighter-bomber in the late 1970s, aiming to field an aircraft capable of surviving in heavily defended Cold War airspace, flying at very low level, and releasing its weapons deep in enemy territory with a high degree of accuracy. In the early 1980s, Brazil joined the program, resulting in the AMX. br br Developed to meet the demands of the Cold War scenario, the AMX program resulted in one of the world's most capable fighter-bombers, a type that has seen action in several conflicts and campaigns since it entered in service the early 1990s. This book covers the entire AMX story, from the origins of the program to its daily operations. ..

Modern Taiwanese Air Power: The Republic of China Air Force Today
by Choo, Roy    Ho, Peter   
(Paperback - English - 9781950394036)
The sovereign status of Taiwan - or the Republic of China - has been a source of instability in the Asia-Pacific region for much of the last 70 years. While Taiwan aspires to be an independent and democratic nation, the communist-led People's Republic of China sees it as a breakaway province. With Beijing flexing its muscles in recent years amid rising tensions between China and the US, the potential for a military flashpoint along the narrow Taiwan Strait cannot be overstated. br br The strategy of the Republic of China Armed Forces is to present Beijing with a credible deterrent, and should this fail, defend against a People's Liberation Army attack and pos ..

Cuban Migs: The Defenders of Castro's Air Force
by Higuchi, Hélio    Bastos Junior, Paulo Roberto   
(Paperback - English - 9781950394098)
The Fuerza Aérea Revolucionaria (FAR), one of the most powerful and little-publicized air forces in the Americas, had Mikoyan-Gurevich (MiG) fighters as its main fighter aircraft, both in the defense of Cuban territory against the threat of US invasion and in support of Cuban leader's efforts to export their revolutionary ideals. br br With its MiG fighters, Cuba's FAR was one of the symbols of the Cold War. This book tells the history of a small Caribbean island that challenged the might of the United States. Based on extensive research with veteran airmen, historians, Cuban publications, and documents, the introduction and utilization of all MiG models in F ..

Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles: Current Types, Ordnance and Operations
by Gettinger, Dan       
(Hardcover - English - 9781950394050)
The field of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) is rapidly diversifying as an array of light, midsized, and heavy UCAVs and munitions enter the global marketplace. This has the potential to dramatically expand access to armed unmanned platforms and change the way unmanned aerial vehicles are used in combat. br br The influence of UCAVs on the conduct of war has already been felt in conflicts in the Caucasus, the Middle East and North Africa, where state and non-state actors have fielded a dizzying number of UCAVs from around the world. At the same time, advanced militaries are beginning to equip UCAVs with increasingly sophisticated munitions, some of wh ..

Chinese Air Power in the 20th Century: Rise of the Red Dragon
by Rupprecht, Andreas       
(Paperback - English - 9781950394005)
The international community has not only acknowledged China's continuing rise as a world power but has also closely observed Beijing regain its place in the international community and grow to become a dominant player in the Far East. br br Despite the difficulty in obtaining relevant information, Harpia's Modern Chinese Warplanes series has filled an important void in recent years, focusing on the current situation, the structure of this growing force, its order of battle, and the latest types in service and under development. br br Chinese Air Power in the 20th Century examines the different periods, explains the political events behind them and they con ..

Modern USMC Air Power: Aircraft and Units of the 'flying Leathernecks'
by Copalman, Joe       
(Paperback - English - 9781950394029)
As America's expeditionary force-in-readiness, the US Marine Corps operates an eclectic mix of fixed-wing, rotary-wing, tiltrotor and unmanned aircraft to support the marine rifleman on the ground. The first two decades of the 21st century have seen an almost complete transformation of the marine air wings, as Cold War-era legacy aircraft yield to digital-age replacements. In Harpia's first book dedicated to a North American air arm, Joe Copalman explains the significance of each aircraft transition in the Marine Corps over the previous 20 years - community by community - on the Marine Air-Ground Task Force and its ability to conduct amphibious and expeditionary ..

Red Dragon 'Flankers': China's Prolific 'Flanker' Family
by Rupprecht, Andreas       
(Paperback - English - 9781950394104)
Noted for its exceptional performance, the Sukhoi Su-27 is not only one of the most capable fourth-generation fighters but its development history is also remarkably rich. The 'Flanker' story took on a new industrial and political dimension when the Su-27 was chosen by China to meet the People's Liberation Army Air Force's requirement for a new fourth-generation type. br br This was a win-win-situation: Russia received a much-needed multi-billion-dollar contract and the PLAAF, for the first time, obtained a true high-end fourth-generation fighter. However, what followed was a complex drama, with both sides telling different stories. Following the direct sale ..

Modern Israeli Air Power: Aircraft and Units of the Israeli Air Force
by Zidon, Ofer       
(Paperback - English - 9780985455422)
Israel remains the cornerstone of Middle East conflicts and tensions, and the spearhead of Israeli military might remain the Air Corps (Kheil Ha'Avir) of the Israeli Defense Forces. Renowned for its continuous efforts to maintain dominance in every dimension of air warfare, improve its capabilities, and outsmart its opponents, the Israeli Air Force has recently been moving away from preparations for interstate wars towards improving its potential to wage asymmetric conflicts, counterinsurgency campaigns and special operations. It has become smaller and leaner, but also much more efficient, and is foremost a force with much improved quick-reaction capabilities. ..

by Zeitoun Moralez, João Paulo       
(Paperback - English - 9780997309249)
The Embraer Super Tucano is tough enough to support operations from unprepared runways and in temperatures of 36 C and 100% humidity.

Modern Chinese Warplanes: Chinese Naval Aviation - Combat Aircraft and Units
by Rupprecht, Andreas       
(Paperback - English - 9780997309256)
China's economic development has been matched by rising political ambitions and the aim of returning the country to a central role in regional and global affairs. It is therefore considered vital for China to demonstrate military presence in its area of influence. Within the past decade, China's military has undergone some of the most profound reforms and improvements since its establishment. The Chinese navy and its naval air arm are playing an increasingly important role in achieving these goals. A 2016 'white paper' called for a greater focus on the seas and clearly stated the requirement for China to establish itself as a major maritime power. Consequently, ..

Modern Chinese Warplanes: Chinese Air Force - Combat Aircraft and Units
by Rupprecht, Andreas       
(Paperback - English - 9780997309263)
In 2012 the original Modern Chinese Warplanes set the standard as a uniquely compact yet comprehensive directory of modern Chinese air power, combining magnificent illustrations and in-depth analysis. Now almost six years later, much of the fascination that Chinese military aviation holds for the analyst and enthusiast still stems from the thick veil of secrecy that surrounds it. However, in the time that has passed since the first edition a plethora of new types, systems and weapons has been revealed. What is more, the structure of the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) has been completely revised by transforming the former Military Regions into Theatr ..

Flashpoint Russia: Russia's Air Power: Capabilities and Structure
by Butowski, Piotr       
(Paperback - English - 9780997309270)
Russian military aviation has undergone several upheavals in the post-Soviet era. There have been two driving forces behind these changes. First, the Russian experience of air power in conflicts has led to an increasing integration of the various branches of the armed forces. Today's VKS was created as a result of the absorption of the Air Defence Troops (VPVO) by the Air Force (VVS) in 1998, and then a merger of the Air Force with the Aerospace Defence Troops (VVKO) in 2015. ..

Modern Chinese Warplanes: Chinese Army Aviation - Combat Helicopter Units
by Rupprecht, Andreas       
(Paperback - English - 9780997309287)
Compared to the People's Liberation Army Air Force and Naval Aviation, the PLA's Army Aviation is the least known and understood of the country's air arms. Its formation was only approved in 1986 and it was established as the Army Aviation Corps in January 1988, using helicopters inherited from the Air Force. br br Beginning as a single regiment, the first true Army Aviation brigade was formed in 2009 and the force has now expanded to around a dozen frontline units operating hundreds of different helicopters. In its current form, Army Aviation has established itself as a major force in support of the PLA Ground Forces. ..

Arab Migs: Volume 6 - October 1973 War, Part 2
by Cooper, Tom    Grandolini, Albert    Nicolle, David
(Paperback - English - 9780985455460)
Arab MiGs Volume 6 continues Harpia Publishing's renowned coverage of air actions by Arab air forces during the October 1973 Arab-Israeli War. After researching in the Middle East for more than 40 years, interviewing and discussing the fighting in detail with pilots, participants and eyewitnesses from almost every unit involved, the authors provide the first ever coherent narrative of this air war. While it has often been argued that air power did not play a dominant role in the conflict, it eventually proved critical to its outcome. Moreover, thousands of combat experiences that were learned during this war -- and paid for in blood by both sides -- proved extre ..

by Cooper, Tom    Rupprecht, Andreas

People's Liberation Army Surface-To-Air Missile Forces: Current Strategy, Structure and Systems
by Majerski, Marko       
(Hardcover - English - 9781950394111)
This book analyses the capabilities of the People's Republic of China's surface-to-air missile (SAM) units. It covers not just Air Force SAMs, but the entire SAM network, composed of naval units and ship-based SAMs, as well as the Army's SAM units. It offers a historical overview of SAM forces in China, how they formed and grew in numbers, before listing and describing all the major historical SAM systems. The current state of SAM units in China is the focus, however, with a considerable portion of the book dedicated to listing and describing all the SAM systems in use in China today. This encompasses Air Force, Army and Navy systems, including ship borne SAMs. ..

Operation Eldorado Canyon: The 1986 Us Bombing Raid on Libya
by Rotramel, Jim       
(Paperback - English - 9781950394128)
If asked to pinpoint the beginning of the war against Islamic extremism, most would probably say September 11, 2001. However, there has been tension between Islamic autocracies and Western governments going back centuries. In the early 1980s, the boogieman du jour was Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, who sponsored numerous acts of terrorism throughout Europe. After a series of attacks resulted in American deaths, U.S. President Ronald Reagan elected to strike back. br br Operation Eldorado Canyon is usually remembered as a long-range mission by British-based F-111s. However, it was an amazingly complex mission that involved two U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and a uniqu ..

Modern South Korean Air Power: The Republic of Korea Air Force Today
by Polderman, Robin

Since the early 1950s, the heavily industrialized nation of South Korea has seen steady growth and is now the world's seventh-largest exporter and 11th-largest economy overall. As the Cold War on the Korean peninsula gathered momentum, the development of the Republic of Korea Air Force became one of the nation's top priorities. While initially dependent on the United States for its aircraft, Korea's aviation industry has matured rapidly, and the ROKAF's use of indigenously manufactured equipment is on the rise. br br Modern South Korean Air Power provides a detailed look at the aircraft and armament, as well as the organization and the modernization process ..
