Naval Pilot at the Red Banner Air Force Academy Moscow
An article concerning Heroes of the Soviet Uniou studying at the Red Ban-
ner Air Force Academy in Moscow, identified one of them, DIDENKO, as a naval
pilot who is outstanding in his studies.
Other Heroes of the Soviet Union identified were Mai KARELIN, a fighter
pilot who shot down 13 enemy fighters and 6 bombers during World War II, and
who is now in the 2d-year class; Maj FESENKO, who participated in the battles
for Berlin; and Officer BALDIN, a ground-attack pilot who flew more than 200
sorties during the war. (Moscow, Krasnaya Zvezda, 2 Jul 55)
Gunnery Training in a Helicopter
An article by S. VINOGRADOV concerned gunnery training of the helicopter
crew commanded by Capt RYBOVALOV. The article described how the helicopter
rose to a designated altitude, and then flew to the firing range, arriving at
the specified time. Capt RYBOVALOV kept the ship on course and commanded the
flight technician, Tech-It MISHCHENY,O, to prepare to fire. The crew received
"e;:cellent" for the i?unnery exercise. (Moscow, Krasnaya Zvezda, 12 Jul 55)

"The Designer of Military Equipment"
[Comment: The following is a detailed extract from an editorial published
in source.]
After paying tribute to the work of tank designers Zh. Ya. KOTIN and A. A.
MOROZOV; fighter-aircraft designers A. S. YAKOVLEV, S. A. LOVOCfHQN, and A. I.
MLKOYAN; bomber-aircraft designers A. N. TUPOLEV and V. M. PETLYAKOV*; ground-
attack aircraft designer S. V. IL'YUSfrIP;; artillery and mortar designers V. G.
GRABIN, F. F. PE"TOV, I. I. IVANOV, and B. I. SHAVYRIN; and ship designers
Z. A. DERIBIN, F. F. POLUS1IKIN, Ye. M. ZYUNOVIDOV, V. M. BURLAKOV, and A. I.
MASLOV, the editorial discussed postwar problems in military weapons and equip-
ment designing.
The editorial stated that Soviet scientists and designers, independently
and in a very short time, worked out methods for the production and utilization
of atomic energy, and created atomic weapons for the defense of the country.
The successes achieved in the field of jet aviation were also remarkable, with
aircraft of all types being perfected. In the struggle for technical progress
in the military field, young cadres capable of independently solving the com-
plex problems of creating various models of combat vehicles, armaments, and
equipment have developed under the guidance of experienced designers, and many
of them have received high decorations from the government.
However, the editorial stated that all is not well everywhere, as was
brought out at the recent All-Union Conference of Industrial Workers, where
considerable shortcomings in the work of design agencies (konstruktorskiye
byuro), scientific-research institutions, and design institutions (proyektnyye
instituty) were revealed. Some design and research organizations are develop-
ing new model:: of cone equipment too slowly, are paying insufficient attention
to improving re chiner already in existence, and sometimes design items which
have airea9-?''ecome obsolete. Some designers do not consider the needs and
suggestions ;noee using the equipment. These shortcomin.s revealed at the
conference to those organizations doing, similar work on military
equipment.
Some dent r,se continue to use old methods despite the need for a new
outlook nn: ?,r!,:- it to contemporary military equipment, _nd they do not make
use of the lr__,t, s,-ientifir advancements. Another cause for come shortcomings
in the creation of new nalitary equipment is the lack of guidance over the
practical wor;- if r:erirrners; there are many defects in the planning of their
work, and creative initiative is often hampered by the composition and ap-
proval of tasks, and by the inspection of machines at various stages of plan-
ning.
It is decidotly necessary to improve leadersLip in design agencies and
scientific-research and development institutes in order to assure that workable
models of weapons and combat equipment meet the requirements of military mi:-
sior,e. Automatic Ieviceo, remote-control apparatus, electronic equirnent, and
the achievements of nuclear physics must all be used in creating new combat
equipment. The appearance and utilization of electronic c:Iculating machines
opens enormous possibilities to the scientists and engineers in the r'ield of
military equiprr'-nt. It is necessary to perfect the nears of mechani ing en'i-
neering work ant the rendying of equipment for combat use, and to perfect the
instruments which control the quality of combat machines and their equipment.
A strong point in Soviet science and engineering is the linking of theory
and practice; this unity is necessary for technical progress in military mat-
ters. It is therefore necessary to continuously strengthen the bonds between
scientists and designers and the troops in the field: scientists and designers

must visit troop units more often and provide for technical conferences on the
spot. This will permit the more rapid revelation of the good and bad points
of new models, and will allow for more rapid implementation of the suggestions
by unit personnel for improving new equipment.
Military testing organizations perform an important role. They are called
upon to test thoroughly all new models, to make evaluations of this equipment
for the government, and to expose weak and strong points in the light of modern
military requirements. This means that inspectors must themselves be well in-
formed on the latest developments of science and technology, and must display
inflexible exactingness and principle.
We are not fully using the capabilities of higher technical milit'.^y-edu-
cational institutions for developing new equipment. Highly qualified special-
ists, such as the teaching staffs of academies and institutions, are not drawn
strongly enough into design work. Existing design agencies have still not be-
come the foundation for training young cadres in design work. In many cases
these agencies are not given sufficient attention, and are oftentimes not staffed
with the proper specialists. Important work is often given to those who do not
have sufficient training to handle it.
Since no piece of military equipment is developed in isolation, but in close
contact with other pieces of equipment and with all of contemporary science, de-
signers can work successfully only if they critically assimilate and further de-
velop all that has been created by modern science and technology. There are,
however, many shortcomings in this matter: there is an insufficient number of
b,od technical reference and handbooks on designing machines, mechanisms, and
devices; little literature is being published on the achievements of domestic
and foreign science and technology; and the experiments of well-known scientists
and designers are poorly publicized. These tasks are entrusted to Voyenizdat
(The Military Publishing House) of the Ministry of Defense USSR.
The great tasks of developing military equipment can be successfully solved
only when the work of designers proceeds in the midst of courageous scientific
criticism and self-criticism, and of free exchange of opinion on the problematic
questions of theory and practice. Some designers strive to monopolize one en-
tire field of specialty in order to protect themselves from criticism. This
mouldy situation of reciprocal praise and ignoring mistakes, of aspiring to
maintain the monopoly of certain designers, and of inevitably strangling this
branch of technology, retards the growth of young cadres.
The editorial also discussed the role ok party organizations in eliminating
the shortcomings enumerated. (Moscow, Krasnaya Zvezda, 7 Jul 55)
