Russian sailors working on P-700 Granit anti-ship missiles aboard an Oscar or Oscar II class submarine.
The size of these things is striking. The Granit, known in NATO reporting as the SS-N-19 Shipwreck, measures roughly 10 metres in length and weighs around seven tonnes. Designed during the Cold War to destroy carrier battle groups, it carried a large high-explosive or nuclear warhead and could travel at supersonic speed.
The missiles were carried by the Oscar class submarine and improved Oscar II boats in angled launch tubes running along the outer hull. Unlike Western submarines that rely primarily on torpedoes or smaller cruise missiles, these boats were built around their missile battery.
Granit was intended to operate in coordinated salvos. One missile would climb to altitude to act as a scout, sharing targeting data with the others flying lower. If the lead missile was destroyed, another would automatically assume the role.

Portsmouth in 1976 – A Glimpse into the Past.
Fifty years ago, in 1976, Portsmouth was firmly established as the home of the Royal Navy. The Cold War was at its height, and global tensions between the West and the Soviet Union shaped international relations. Despite this political climate, moments of diplomacy and goodwill still occurred.
One notable event took place when the Soviet Navy missile cruiser Ozbratsovy made a goodwill visit to Portsmouth Naval Base. In a striking scene captured by photographer Jonathan Eastland (AJAX Ref: 6034244), Soviet sailors lined the deck of the warship as it entered harbour. The image symbolised a rare moment of openness during a period otherwise defined by suspicion and rivalry.
For local residents, the visit would have been both fascinating and unusual. A Soviet warship docking at a British naval base during the Cold War was a reminder of the delicate balance between strength and diplomacy. Portsmouth, long associated with naval power, briefly became a stage for international engagement.

Hi guys, first time poster. I you are only slightly interested in US military pressence in germany in the 80s, I advise you to check out the Facebook-Profile of a guy named Björn Kühnl (https://www.facebook.com/bkone77). He has a few pictures of american troops in germany and how they were mingling with the german civilian poulation which produces some heartwarming and cool images. Just check this out as a teaser:

Portuguese paratroopers using variety anti-tank rockets during 'Exercise Display Determination 1981'. Portuguese troopers also made usage RPG-7s alongside others and this caused quite stir when NATO country use Soviet weapon.
