Hussar ' s Picture Book Hussar ' s Picture Book is a memoir by the Hungarian author Pál Kelemen . Based on the author ' s personal diary and covering the entire period of World War I from 1914 to 1918 , the book is a memoir of the experiences of a Hungarian cavalry officer of the Blue Hussars of the Imperial army of the Austro - Hungarian Monarchy . The book provides an uncommon perspective on the war as it is written by a well educated , multi - lingual , Hungarian officer serving in multiple fronts . Though battles and combat feature throughout , the main focus is on the author ' s personal life . The war serves as a backdrop to a man of high birth in a society struggling to adapt to the modern world . The portrait provided of war on the eastern front is starkly different from that of the western front described in novels such as " Le Feu " " ( Under Fire ) " . Antiquated militaria such as cavalry regiments are only eliminated near the end of the war period . The memoir presents a fairly positive view of the author ' s service . Written in a different time period , it could easily have passed for pro - war propaganda . Parts of the author ' s diary were used as such during the war period by the Hungarian government . For most of the novel , the view of the war is a positive one and the author ' s personal experiences harken back to the romantic and idealistic notions of war .

R - 16 ( missile ) The R - 16 was the first successful intercontinental ballistic missile deployed by the Soviet Union . In the West it was known by the NATO reporting name SS - 7 Saddler , and within Russia , it carried the GRAU index 8K64 . Description . The missile was 30 . 4 m long , 3 . 0 m in diameter and had a launch weight of 141 tons . The maximum range was 11 , 000 km with a 5 - 6 Mt thermonuclear warhead and 13 , 000 km with a 3 Mt warhead . The missile had a circular error probable ( CEP ) of 2 . 7 km . History . During development , a massive failure occurred on October 24 , 1960 , when a prototype rocket exploded on the pad killing over 100 personnel . After decades of government coverup , this incident , referred to as the Nedelin disaster , was finally revealed . After the delays associated with the deaths of most people working on the project , the first flight of the missile took place on 2 February 1961 . Initial operational capability was achieved on 1 November 1961 . The missile continued to serve until 1976 , with maximum deployment numbers reached in 1965 with 202 missiles deployed . The Soviets had fewer than 50 of these missiles deployed in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis . It is possible that only around 20 interim R - 16 launchers were operational during the height of the crisis . The R - 16 was a true first - generation intercontinental missile and a vast improvement over the largely experimental ' zeroth ' generation R - 7 Semyorka . Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine was bipropellant used in R - 16 . It was initially deployed at soft sites which were not shielded from nuclear attack . On normal duty the missiles were stored in hangars , and it took one to three hours to roll them out , fuel them , and reach launch readiness . The missiles could remain fueled for only a few days due to the corrosive nature of the nitric acid fuel oxidant . After this , the fuel would have to be removed and the missile sent back to the factory for rebuilding . Even when fueled and in an alert posture , the Soviet missiles still needed to wait up to twenty minutes to spin up the gyroscopes in their guidance systems before launch was possible . Despite these shortcomings , the R - 16 was unquestionably the first truly credible rocket - based strategic nuclear deterrent developed by the Soviet Union . The Soviets were aware of the missile ' s vulnerability , and from 1963 onward some R - 16U missiles were based in silos , with around 69 silo launchers put into service . Each launch complex consisted of three silos clustered together for economic reasons to allow them to use a common refueling system , making them vulnerable to a single U . S . missile . The control system of this rocket was designed at OKB - 692 ( Kharkiv , Ukraine ) .
