With the Cold War arms-race well into its second decade, Soviet military technology achieved a number of unparalleled successes. Their efficient battle tanks, self-propelled guns, artillery, aircraft, and continually evolving air defense systems had forged a path to near technological parity with, or perhaps even superiority over, the United States.
