  Check out Safar Publishing&apos;s books on Soviet Airborne Forces equipment during the Cold War:<br><a href="https://www.safar-publishing.com/product-page/vdv">https://www.safar-publishing.com/product-page/vdv </a><br><a href="https://www.safar-publishing.com/product-page/uniforms-and-history-of-the-soviet-ariborne">https://www.safar-publishing.com/product-page/uniforms-and-history-of-the-soviet-ariborne</a><br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=394prfENU4k&amp;t=135">2:15</a> Clarification: The explosive filler figure given for the 122mm howitzer shell is OF56, which was not widely available until the late 1980s. Shells available at the time of Nona-S&apos;s introduction included OF462 and OF24 which had 3.67kg and 3.97kg of filler respectively

  I think biggest thing making Nona better then other vehicles in BMD family is fact that it being mainly indirect weapon means that it doesn&apos;t have to rely on that paper thin aluminum armor.

  To anyone interested in Late Cold War TOE &amp; Units of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact I would suggest the &nbsp;FM-100-2 series of manual written by the US Army

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=394prfENU4k&amp;t=575">9:35</a> my grandpa participated in this operation. Later he was a commander of artillery of 98th Airborne Divison in 2000 during Second Chechen War until he was injured and retired.
