The illustrations show aircraft and helicopters, tanks, Soviet Navy submarines countering the US naval presence on the Gulf, area surveillance stations and even a group of vast oil-storage tanks at Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia. - "Born in Battle" was an Israel-published magazine that covered military and defence matters.
