Soviet Rockets Strengthen Enemy Firepower in Vietnam
Soviet heavy weapons, including an estimated 175 long range 122 mm rockets, are boosting firepower across South Vietnam. About 5,000 of these 122 mm missiles have been delivered by the USSR to North Vietnam, with only a few into the south so far. The weapons, shown publicly in 1965 and eclipsing older 110 mm rockets, mark a shift in armament and may reflect new Soviet aid policies. The NVAVG reports indicate these systems raise firepower but have limited impact on mobility and effectiveness thus far.
