I added some of the ones you guys suggested. I'm not going to add them all, there are too many. My goal isn't to write an encyclopedia, but to provide a quick reference guide. I added the ones that I have encountered more or less regularly in discussions at defense forums, and in articles. Please don't suggest silly ones like BSG. And while I appreciate the input, this is here to be used. Given the low activity of the Red Army forum I'm highly doubtful that we really need that many of them.
