Pacific Fleet Against All Odds - 80 years since the battle of Shumshu Island (the last battle of World War II). This was an operation to capture Japan's most heavily fortified island in the Kurils and decisively secure the USSR's Far Eastern flank. - Tinkering with the heavy aviation cruiser concept will certainly be worth the risk.

#OTD in 1975, several crew members seized the Soviet frigate Storozhevoy to protest corruption in the Brezhnev government.

The incident inspired Tom Clancy to write THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. - If you want to know my actual thoughts on the Yak-38: No, obviously I don't actually believe its the "best plane ever with zero flaws" (there was of course many). If I had to summarize my criticism into one idea it would be that the Harrier grew up and the Forger didn't.

Project 61MP (NATO calls it the "Mod Kashin") is a modification of Project 61 ships to give them antiship firepower, as originally their primary tasks were air defence and ASW. To that end they received 4x P-15M Termit missiles which have a range of 80km. - Master copy with no watermark.

Best plane ever. Zero flaws.
