The Tamans division will be the first to receive the latest armored vehicles on the Armata and Boomerang platforms.
The Second Guards Motorized Rifle Taman Division will be the first formation to receive Tanks "Armata", self-propelled guns "Coalition", BMP "Kurganets" and armored personnel carriers "Boomerang", according News.
Serial supplies of equipment are expected by 2020, but for the time being, the division’s servicemen are exploring combat vehicles that have driven through Red Square during the last year’s Victory Parade.
“Earlier, the Russian military department wanted to distribute the latest technology to various military units. But at the end of 2017, it was decided to form one "division of the future." In addition to the latest generation of armored vehicles, the most modern control systems and unmanned aerial systems will appear in it, ”the newspaper writes, citing the Russian military.
According to the editor-in-chief of the magazine Arsenal of the Fatherland, Viktor Murakhovsky, the Tamansk division will become a kind of “test bench” where a new vehicle will be run by troops.
He noted that the testing grounds and the material and technical base of the Taman Division allow to actively explore the possibilities of new technology, "the proximity of places of deployment of the compound to the leading scientific centers of the Ministry of Defense - 3 Central Research Institute, Academy of Frunze and General Staff Academy also plays a role."
