Outdated, but a classic!

From descriptions of train tracks that are of different sizes in Russia and Poland, to tanks with 2 transmissions (both manual!), to descriptions of brutal hazing of conscripts, to "estimating" the Soviet defense budget, it's clear, from this bookm that a lot of cow-dung was passed off by conservatives as "military threat analysis."A classic!
