Articles
There were many articles about aircraft P-38 Lightning. Some reviews weren't too flattering. Unfortunately, some of these allegations survive to this day.
This text aims to provide all those who need it with an explanation of the various military terms
and the principles of operation of military installations.
The article discusses the origin of the names of some Soviet and Russian ships, aircraft, weapons and weapon systems, as seen by Dmitry Litovkin in an article in the Izvestia newspaper. The translation of the original text is supplemented by additional information, observations and pictures so that it is understandable even to the Czech reader, who does not master military issues in too much detail.
