☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue opens with an aerial dogfight between American and Soviet forces, featuring a specially constructed rammer plane with reinforced nose and leading-wing edges designed to destroy enemy aircraft. An American pilot is ejected during combat and captured by Soviet forces in the Urals region. A second story follows an underwater demolition team as they infiltrate a Soviet harbor, navigate through barbed wire obstacles on the seafloor, and prepare to destroy enemy submarines by detonating explosives in torpedo tubes. The narratives depict Cold War military engagements presented as hypothetical scenarios of conflict between American and Russian forces.
During World War III, a team of U.N. paratroopers and civilian nuclear physicists are dispatched on a high-stakes mission to the Russian Urals to locate and disable hidden Soviet atomic bomb stockpiles. Lieutenant Lloyd struggles to lead the operation while protecting the scientists, but as the airborne invasion closes in on the heavily fortified mountain tunnels, tensions mount and the true cost of the mission becomes clear. Will the team survive long enough to complete their dangerous objective?
An American underwater demolition team infiltrates a heavily fortified Soviet submarine base in the Baltic to sabotage their snorkel fleet, but when one nervous member's oxygen fails during the mission, the team fractures under impossible pressure—with lives hanging in the balance as alarms blare and the base erupts into chaos. Amid claustrophobia, sacrifice, and split-second choices, a man must decide what he's willing to do to prove himself when everything falls apart.
