Tom Clancy mentioned it in "Red Storm Rising"! No one believed then.
It may not have been a very debugged capability, but neither were Soviet AWACS. To this day, A50s are hardly too useful, and in the Soviet times, they were a joke.
- protomyth 6y agoI do love the chapter name "Frisbees of Dreamland ".
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 6y agoGreat book. My father read the book as a Marine stationed in Keflavik Iceland and said it was eerie.
- arethuza 6y agoThe problem I had with Red Storm Rising was that the scenario leading to the war was pretty weak - I much prefer Arc Light.
- anovikov 6y agoExactly. An Azeri muslim radical couldn't probably do what he did to help his "brothers" in Tatarstan, because Clancy overlooked that Azeri, unlike all other Soviet muslims, are Shia, others being Sunni... They'd much rather kill one another than a Commie.
