Khand-e Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Can somebody tell me why CIA wwould document their own tank or their own serect armor(at 80s) ? Guessing it's changed quite a bit since the original Abrams models. There's not a whole lot of point to keep something so obsolete and dated a secret.

EnsignExpendable Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 This one is fun: THE TANK AND ASSAULT GUN INDUSTRY OF THE USSR (1953) I like how it has to explain to the reader what a turret is.

Collimatrix Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 That is simultaneously pretty good for period American documents, and also a good explanation for how some of these persistent myths got started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter_Sobchak Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 My favorite thing is how the author puts unnecessary apostrophes in the middle of the names of Soviet cities. So we get names like Kar'kov and Gor'kiy. It makes them look a bit Klingon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnsignExpendable Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Those apostrophes aren't unnecessary, they signify the soft sign character ь. I have no idea how it migrated into transliterated Russian though, the closest thing that was implemented was the cancellation of the hard sign ъ in favour of the apostrophe in 1917. The apostrophe actually works like a hard sign (stops the syllable in the middle of the word) whereas the soft sign does something completely different. I've seen it in lots of places though, not just here. Walter_Sobchak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a whole lot of point to keep something so obsolete and dated a secret. that hasn't stopped them in the past the advantage of declassifiers of documents working at a different agency is that they can't be fired by the Department of Defense.

Ramlaen Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Part of a 1992 report to the US congress about the Gulf War, the only reason I dug it up was because of a debate about whether M1A1 HA was a made up designation. http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a249391.pdf Xlucine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
