The rocket is launching into the zenith!

A novel about the fates of ordinary Russian people who, driven by their hearts, took up arms in defense of Donbass in 2014, about the difficult choice between a peaceful life and duty, as well as for the first time in domestic artistic literature about the combat use of the latest anti-aircraft missile and artillery systems Pantsir-S1. The author is a native of Donbass, a military medic, who served in one of the tank units of the DPR. At the beginning of the Special Military Operation, he covered the liberation of Volnovakha and Mariupol as a military correspondent. The book includes examples of interactions with civilians, with military personnel of the DPR and the Russian Federation, as well as personal experiences of survival during eight years of undeclared war against Russian Donbass. The anxious life of mining towns is realistically depicted, army life is portrayed, and the technical features and combat operations of the Air Defense and Missile Defense Forces are covered in-depth as far as open sources of information allow.
