Publisher's Synopsis
This book contains a listing of surface-to-air missiles from all countries and Acronyms related to surface-to-air missiles. The Acronyms originated in China so many of the acronyms are peculiar to China and provide some insight into what they think are important anti-aircraft concepts. You have to read between the lines and once you go through the list you will see that they have an overall long-term plan. Is it a coincidence that China initiated development of the largest seaplane in the world when they began expanding the size of the Spratly Islands? Check out the drawing of several HQ-9 surface-to-air missile batteries as well as the drawing of the anti-aircraft guns on Woody Island in the Paracel Islands.
