Acme::MetaSyntactic::soviet -- NATO codenames for Soviet-designed equipment
Some codenames given by NATO to Soviet-designed aircraft, missiles, radars and other electronic systems. The various categories and sub-categories are
electronic
electronic/radars
electronic/misc
vehicles
vehicles/aircraft
vehicles/helicopters
vehicles/missiles
vehicles/error
The default category is 'electronic'.
Version 0.01
use Acme::MetaSyntactic; my $meta = Acme::MetaSyntactic->new( 'soviet' ); print $meta->name(); # return a single name my @names = $meta->name( 4 ); # return 4 distinct names (if possible)
If you want some category other than 'electronic', the second line should read:
my $meta = Acme::MetaSyntactic->new( 'soviet', category => 'vehicle/aircraft' );

Not yet introduced in Acme::MetaSyntactic, but published separately on 23rd October 2008, 46th anniversary of the blockade of Cuba.
Note: I have used only sources published before the fall of the Soviet Union. Therefore, the module name is A::MS::soviet, with no "ex-" prefix. For each entry, the sources are listed, with page numbers for the books. The games use data cards, which are unnumbered.
