INTRODUCTION PURPOSE The aviator and aerial observer have a need for a ready reference of combat equipment likely to be
encountered during combat operations. The primary purpose of this manual is— '
* To familiarize the aviator and aerial observer with modern combat equipment.
* To serve as a pocket reference for the aviator and aerial observer for field use.
* To serve as a guide for commanders in conducting unit training in equipment recognition.
SCOPE
This manual provides information on current operational combat vehicles, guns, and aircraft of
the United States, Allied Western Powers, and foreign countries which reasonably can be
expected to be observed from the air during hostilities.
Because some equipment is classified, this manual is not all-inclusive. It should be emphasized that the depicted data is based on the best information available. Sufficient equipment is
illustrated to familiarize the user with the most common weapon systems currently being field^k
by the United States, Allied Western Powers, and the Warsaw Pact countries. Consider that
publications of this nature will have a built-in time lag and that some equipment may be
experimental or classified at the time of writing that may be fielded or unclassified at publication
time. It is your responsibility to verify the latest information available—especially on threat
equipment.

THREAT Long-range air defense weapon and missile systems dominate the air above the battlefield. They can deny forward fighting elements effective close air support and force helicopters to operate
g out-of-range or below line-of-sight of acquisition radar, or to use terrain flying techniques. Their capabilities are such that virtually anything that can be seen can be hit and killed. Aviation operations against an enemy equipped with sophisticated air defense and electronic weapons will be significantly affected by the following, singly or in combination, and must be considered in mission planning and execution:
• Air-to-air missiles
• Surface-to-air missiles
• Concentrations of small arms fire
• Monitoring of communications
• Helicopter attacks on helicopters
• High performance aircraft attacks on helicopters
• Jamming of comrnand and control frequencies
• Jamming of air traffic management systems «ie to this high threat environment, every effort must be made to correctly recognize, identify, d differentiate between friendly and hostile equipment. The aviator, by aerial reconnaissance,
plays a vital role in the overall plan of the combat commander by informing him of who, what, where, and the number of opposing forces confronting him.

GENERAL TRAINING NOTES The items of equipment portrayed in this manual are grouped together by type: rotary wing aircraft, fixed wing aircraft, antiaircraft guns and surface-to-air-missiles, armor, artillery, ligKt armored vehicles, and miscellaneous vehicles. The groupings are tabbed on the left margin and further subdivided by user countries. Those pages containing Warsaw Pact and potential threat equipment are shaded entirely in brown for easy reference. The user country and pertinent data are given below the photographs. As you read and study the illustrations, select unique identifying features of each in order to provide instant battlefield recognition. Many items (showing user as various countries) may be employed by friendly, hostile, and uncommitted nations. Bear in mind that identifying and engaging a target will not likely be on a simple one-to-one confrontation. A tank or an antiaircraft weapon like the ZSU-23-4 will likely be used in multiple units or in conjunction with other supportive units which will be trying to acquire you as a target while you are occupied with your target acquisition. In some cases, areas most lucrative for mobility or firepower kills are depicted on certain types of combat equipment with a dot. However, you should remember that the frontal arc of the hull and turrets of armored vehicles are the most difficult to penetrate and dangerous to face. Because of this, engages from the flanks, rear, and top offer better kill probabilities.
The gaming device (Tactical Vehicle Identification) depicted on page 321 can be used as invaluable instructional tool for increasing knowledge of combat equipment and for proficier^P testing. This training device may be effectively used in class instruction or for self-testing.
METRIC VALUES ARE GIVEN THROUGHOUT THIS MANUAL AND A CONVERSION SCALE FOR COMMON MEASUREMENTS APPEARS ON PAGE 320.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS - LEVELS OF SKILL
Accurate visual recognition of combat equipment is essential to aircrews, aviators, and observers in making an engagement decision. It is vital that recognition be swift and accurate. The specific level of skill required by an individual is determined by the individual's duty position, his potential for exposure to the Threat, and the degree to which he must distinguish enemy equipment from friendly equipment during combat operations
LEVEL 1. The individual will recognize, with at least 90 percent accuracy, all the known hostile equipment constituting the Threat and the friendly equipment expected to be operating in his area. The number of pieces of combat equipment that must be recognized at level 1 may vary from area to area, but probably should not exceed 15 total. Selection of these units for recognition training should be based on intelligence estimates of the local Threat and the inventory of friendly equipment expected to be providing support to a unit's combat operations. Level 1 is necessary for commanders and staffs in planning, conducting, and evaluating training and tactical exercises.
LEVEL 2. The individual will be expert at recognizing all friendly and potentially hostile combat equipment expected to be in a specified zone. The number of units to be learned cannot be precisely specified, but will probably range between 20 and 30, depending upon the theater of •orations. The selection of combat equipment for training should be based on intelligence
[¡mates of the potential Threat and the inventory of friendly equipment in the combat area. Personnel who should achieve this level of skill are pilots, observers, and aircrew. These individuals should approach 100 percent accuracy with 90 percent accuracy being a minimum acceptable level of proficiency. Individuals charged with the conduct of recognition training should also achieve level 2.

The HIND is a multi-purpose helicopter capable of carrying eight fully equipped combat troops in addition to a complete external armament load. It is larger than the UH-1 or the AAH. In addition to the standard pylon armament found on the HIND-A, the HIND-D, as seen in these photographs, incorporates a turret which houses a four-barrel "Vulcan" type 12.7mm gun. This turret can also accommodate a 23mm cannon. The sensor pack under the nose of the HIND-D probably carries a forward-looking infrared scanner slaved to the gun and a low-light-level TV.

CONSIDERATIONS IN DETERMINING AIMING POINTS ON ARMOR
A. Armor Protection. Armoring any vehicle is always a compromise providing greater protection in certain locations than in others. Customarily, the greatest protection is on the front of the hull
and turret protecting the tank's weapon system; the least protection is on the rear, sides, top,and undercarriage. For air-delivered weapons, the rear, sides, top, and undercarriage (being the least protected armor areas) are the easiest to penetrate.
B. Engine Compartment. The engine compartment is one of the most vulnerable areas. Remember that this area has the least protection, and is the most easily penetrated. Damage to the engine will convert a mobile tank to a stationary pillbox much easier to destroy.
C. Suspension System. This is a susceptible area for attack and may immobilize a tank; but this is a chancy target and should not be engaged if rear, sides, or top are available.
fc). Fuel System. Many foreign tanks will use both internal and external auxiliary fuel tanks. Auxiliary tanks (about 55-gallon drum size) are mounted on the sides or rear of the tank and are usually jettisoned upon contact with the enemy. However, they are ideal aiming points for a

surprise attack. Internal tanks are located in the engine compartment and around the driver's
compartment. As an example, the T-62 can be completely destroyed by left flanking shots that hit
fuel cells and ignite both fuel and ammunition. Flanking hits have an excellent chance of hitting
both external fuel cells and stowed ammunition.
E. Weapon System. This is the most difficult to destroy of all the vulnerable areas on a tank. If
the crew is blinded by smoke and the tank is practically disabled, the chances of success are
greatly increased. Remember that this is the most heavily armored area and also the most
dangerous to face.
F. Assault Guns and Lightly Armored Vehicles. Assault guns are armored much like tanks
(heavy in front, light on sides), except that the crew compartment may or may not be open top.
Flanking fire is the most desired and effective. Personnel carriers have light armor and may be
attacked with antitank weapons. Frontal attacks should be directed at the center front of the
vehicle. Flank attacks should be directed at the hull just above the top of the tracks or wheels.
Small arms fire may be directed against tires on wheeled APCs.

BATTLE FORMATION AND TARGET ACQUISITION
Within the first echelon (wave) of an attacking Warsaw Pact Force you will normally see the PT-76 first, then the main battle tanks intermixed with infantry riding in APCs such as BMP, BTRs, or mixed. Immediately behind the armor and infantry forces will be the artillery and air defense weapons.
What target do you engage first? This depends upon the degree of threat presented. Generally, the target having the longest effective range should be engaged first. For example, the BMP mounts the SAGGER with effective range to 3,000 meters and the main gun (73mm) with an effective range of 800 meters. If you see tanks and BMPs at a range of 2,500 meters, and are not facing an immediate threat yourself, you would want to shoot the BMP first because of its longer effective range. As the tanks move closer, within 1,500 meters approximately, their greater I accuracy and faster rate of fire makes them a greater threat and should be engaged accordingly.
