Name: The Silver Swallow of the Dnieper
Author: Shanshan Who Isn’t Sansan

Synopsis

In 1989, the Soviet Union returned home in triumph after winning a total victory in Afghanistan. But beneath the veneer of victory lay wounds inflicted by half a century of military rivalry. Once the Soviet leadership understood the true purpose of “quiet diplomacy” and realized that no agreement with the Western bloc was ever possible, it faced a national economy on the brink of collapse and resolved to liberate Europe before all was lost. The future ace pilot Yeremy Shevastianovich Mir would also rise to the occasion during this period, writing his own legendary story as a Soviet hero.

Any Novels with Expert-Level Military and Weapons Knowledge?

A lot of war novels are written by people who know nothing about the military. They lack even basic knowledge of weapons and military affairs. The calibers are all over the place, MG42s show up right from the start, and there are piles of artillery that don’t fit the circumstances at all. Then there’s that Italian cannon: the 1897 model was already obsolete by World War II.

Looking for Hardcore Military Fiction

I don't need things to be ultra-realistic, but please don't give me ridiculous stuff like a passenger plane doing a Cobra maneuver, hitting a target with iron sights at 800 meters, or holding down the trigger without letting go...

Looking for Air Combat Novels

Looking for books like Mocked as a Scrap Mecha from the Start? I'll Still Become an Ace. Any novels about aerial combat? They don't have to be technically accurate. Stories with aerial combat elements are fine too.
