More TRP genius in GR's WW2 echoes....echoing thru Gitmo...

[Mark Kohut]

from "One Minute to Midnight".

P. 125. 'The Soviets had brought two FKR regiments to Cuba. Each regiment controlled forty nuclear warheads and eight cruise missile launchers."

FKR was a Russian acronym which translated as "front-line winged rocket"--the cruise missiles were the descendants of the German buzz bombs that terrorized London during WW2. Nicknamed "flying bombs' or "doodlebugs" by the British, the German V-1 missiles were3 essentially unpiloted aircraft that dropped out of the sky when their fuel ran out."

"The Soviet trailer-launched missiles [launch practice happening between midninght and 5 AM to avoid spy planes] could hit targets up to 110 miles away, destroying everything within a radius of six thousand feet. A single FKR missile could devastate a U.S. aircraft carrier group or a major military base."...p. 125

"the other regiment..had been ordered to 'deliver a blow to the U.S. Naval base at Guantanamo Bay"..
