NAME

Acme::MetaSyntactic::soviet -- NATO codenames for Soviet-designed equipment

DESCRIPTION

Some codenames given by NATO to Soviet-designed aircraft, missiles, submarines, radars and other electronic systems. The various categories and sub-categories are

  • electronic

  • electronic/radars

  • electronic/misc

  • vehicles

  • vehicles/aircraft

  • vehicles/helicopters

  • vehicles/missiles

  • vehicles/submarines

  • vehicles/error

The default category is 'electronic'.

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

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 meta from Acme::MetaSyntactic is installed, you can use it from the command line:

meta soviet

meta soviet/vehicles/submarines

SOURCES

Note: I have used only sources published before the fall of the Soviet Union. Therefore, the module name is 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".
