Amerikai–szovjet hadászati rivalizálás a levegőben, az űrben, a víz alatt és az „Anyadír-hadművelet” (szovjet atomrakéták telepítése Kubába, 1962)
US-Soviet Military Rivalry in Air, Space, under Water and the Operation Anadyr (Deployment of Soviet Nuclear Missiles in Cuba, 1962)

Summary/Abstract: In the years and months leading up to the October 1962 Cuban missile crisis, there was an intense US-Soviet military rivalry in air, space and under water. The present paper provides a detailed review of these developments. The second part of the paper is based on a 526-page memoir written by Soviet Army General Anatoly I. Gribkov, published in 1992 in German Gribkov worked in the general military staff during the missile crisis and was one of the few officers who had a near complete insight into the preparations made by the Soviets in Cuba. He was one of the officers that worked out the top secret Operation Anadyr that set out to deploy Soviet medium-range missiles in Cuba. Moreover, he also played a key role in controlling the deployment of missiles on the island. The memoir of the Soviet marshal reveals to the reader a number of details and behind-the-scenes secrets. (Gribkov held the post of Chief of Staff of the Warsaw Treaty from 1976 to 1989.)
