The purpose of this paper is to survey available information on Soviet airborne forces and present a description of Soviet airborne history and missions. The survey was conducted by means of library research. The survey indicates that the Soviets intend to use their airborne forces for offensive operations in the tactical, operational, and strategic rear of their enemy during nuclear and conventional wars. They will use these forces to add depth to the battle, to exploit nuclear attacks and to accomplish a variety of strategic, operational, and tactical missions. (Author)
