This year's first large batch of equipment for the Airborne Forces entered service with the 76th Airborne Division in Pskov. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The 76th Airborne Division was reportedly armed with a battalion set of equipment, which included 39 combat vehicles: 31 BMD-4M units and eight BTR-MDM Rakushka units. This is the seventh battalion unit, which entered service with the Pskov paratroopers. It is specified that combat vehicles entered the 234th Guards Airborne Assault Black Sea Order of Kutuzov, 3rd degree, regiment named after the Holy One Alexander Nevsky.

The seventh battalion set of military equipment for the Pskov paratroopers includes 39 new generation combat vehicles: BMD-4M (31 units) and BTR-MDM "Shell" (eight units)

- said in a statement.

According to the Deputy Commander of the Airborne Forces, Major General Anatoly Kontsevoy, in 2020 another two battalion sets of combat vehicles are expected to enter the formations and military units of the Airborne Forces.

It is noted that all the military personnel of the air assault regiment, who received new equipment, had previously undergone a training and retraining course for new weapons in Omsk on the basis of 242 training center for training junior airborne specialists.

Unclear

Draw an analogy.

[carstorm 11]

In addition to the caiman, the 103rd landing brigade received 32 BTR-70 MB1 armored personnel carriers and 18 units of a towed rifled semi-automatic 2B23 Nona M1 mortar. 18 year news))))

The production of military equipment has been established. Troops are equipped as HOW!

I completely agree with you. According to the plans of the Defense Ministry this year, the accumulated pace of rearmament of the army and navy will continue, and the level of equipment with modern weapons and equipment should be at least 70% and stably maintained in the future. For certain types and branches of the Armed Forces, this indicator has already been practically reached.

This is a clear definition that all sorts of different people can tell their "tales" about "rusty cans" with which OUR army is armed, somewhere where they are still ready to listen ...
They have their own "fairy tales", and we, the REALITY.

Of course, I understand what army you are talking about, but it’s better to clarify. Here above, the Vitebsk division was added to the Russian army ...

[whatis love]

Probably it means that with the new military equipment it is necessary to complete those parts that the first will take battle in the event of a power supply

[maidan.izrailovich]

Probably it means that the new military equipment needs to be completed with those partswho will be the first to fight in the case of BP

Then the first should be equipped with motorized infantry (infantry). They are the first in the event of war to enter the battle.
And the Airborne Forces are:

Airborne Forces are reserve Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces.

And reserves are not the first to enter the battle (war). https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian Federation_Airborne Troops
But in any case, it’s good that different types of troops receive new equipment and weapons.

[whatis love]

Motorized riflemen also get new equipment, just the specifics of each kind of troops has its own

[rocket757]

In fact, BATTLE KIT, it is strong. The battalion is a serious tactical unit, sufficient to perform most tasks in modern conditions.
This is the opinion of existing military experts.

Did you (or your specialists) mean most of the tasks assigned to the battalion? And the remaining (a minority of tasks, in your opinion) who will perform, I wonder? Specialists - they are such specialists!

[rocket757]

It is clear that it is necessary to equip the whole army with new weapons, not a question.
For which departments tasks appear more often, i.e. they must be re-equipped with new technology and ready at any time to complete the tasks.
The whole army is understandable, but the boom is hoped, for it missions, combat tasks, have not been identified in the foreseeable future.

[jonht]

In the event of a major non-nuclear war, motorized riflemen, tankers and everyone else will enter the fray. But recently, the wars are local and it is precisely the Airborne Forces and the Marine Corps that are most often involved in them. So to say parts of constant combat readiness.

[bk316]

It is just NORMAL.

You know, at the end of the USSR, the general information background was just this:

- medicine is free - it's okay to talk about it;
- education is available - it’s normal to talk about it;
- Housing is being systematically built; Khrushchev’s are being replaced with new houses - it’s normal to talk about it;
- the army is arming - it’s normal to talk about it;

And that's what

clothes there are more accessible than ours - it's horror, let's savor it;
the Politburo of the old-timers - this is wrong, let's mock it;
lost the lunar race - so it is generally necessary through the word is all the end of the communist idea;


This all formed a distorted picture of the world and also became one of the reasons for the collapse of the USSR.

Well, that's about it.

I also remember how they survived only in country gardens. potatoes and pickles, onions, carrots in the sand. but survived and raised children.
Do you remember how the NTV information flow went? first about us, rallies, plant stops, lack of medicine, and at the very end - news about America, how they called the police who removed the cat from the tree and gave it a vitamin, or what went through the carnival in which city and baked the largest pizza that they distributed to everyone (( ((

I am not a supporter of finishing off the remnants of the Union in the person of the Russian Federation, but, honestly, I do not observe any particular positive around. So, private, transitory is. And I don’t see something on a larger scale and for the future. So there is no need to "substitute" anything, the masters of the country themselves lead it ... anywhere.

In terms of calibers, complete disagreement is obtained with the Airborne Forces of 30 and 100 mm for the ground, the transition to 57 mm Zushki 23 mm will soon be. But the BMD 4’s dynamic protection and the Shell are also lacking.

In NE mostly 100 and 30, at 57 it seems to me they will not soon switch.

1. 23-mm ZSU Shilka removed from service. And for a long time already. In a very small amount - less than a hundred - 23-mm ZU-23.
2. There will be no transition to the 57-mm autocannon as the main armament of the BMP! (Maximum - a limited number of 57-mm ZSU Derivatsiya-PVO.) That is. the armament of the main infantry and airborne infantry fighting vehicle will continue to be, in general, unified.

[Vadim237]

I wrote about Zushka and not about Shilka. There will be no transition to 57-mm autocannons, as the main armament of BMPs, in the RF Army. Yeah - "Epoch" uninhabited combat module was created for installation on existing BMP-2 and BMP-3, as well as on equipment on the chassis of promising platforms such as Kurganets-25, etc.

Since the information about this new product is sketchy, many questions arose about the 57 mm automatic grenade launcher mounted on the module.

The fact that this gun significantly exceeded the capabilities of the well-known 30-mm 2A42 and 2A72 in the fight against manpower is known from the published materials about the AGS-57, which, as expected, became the basis for the new gun.

Many experts were not convinced that this weapon would be able to effectively deal with armored vehicles. However, according to the data that appeared on the Web, it can be concluded that the "Epoch" will receive an armor-piercing sub-caliber projectile. Along with the Kornet and Bulat anti-tank guided missiles, it was demonstrated at an exhibition of Russian weapons novelties, which was held within the framework of the Defense Ministry collegium at the end of December this year.

As a result, according to experts, Russian BMPs will now be capable of effectively hitting the most modern Western armored vehicles, like the German Puma, not to mention the modernized versions of the Bradley.

As reported by the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense, in 2020, the troops will receive the first batch of BMP-3 with such combat modules. Also, according to some sources, the "Epoch" will be equipped with "Kurgan-25".

[Private-K]

Here you are sort of already grown to the major forum, i.e. should have read a lot from what was written here ... But you, apparently, a writer ...
Experimental tests are low-ballistic gun, read AUTOMATIC Grenade launcher cal. 57 mm. (Do you, I hope, understand that such a tool is the exact opposite of the 57mm HIGH BALLIST PUNCHER that you mean?) And it is intended for the modernization of light BMP-1 / -2 of which there are too many and it is impossible to replace them with new correct BMPs, but it is necessary to increase combat potential. Therefore, there is a desire to try to do this by installing a new combat module on these infantry fighting vehicles with, I repeat, a 57-mm automatic grenade launcher.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have no problem hitting armored vehicles, etc. For there is a mass of ATGM on BM, portable and self-propelled. Not to mention the mass of their tanks.
Therefore, the Russian Armed Forces are purchasing hundreds of new modernized BMP-3s with 100 + 30.

[Vadim237]

"The RF Armed Forces have no problem hitting armored vehicles of pr-ka. For there is a mass of ATGMs on BM, portable and self-propelled." And not a single third-generation ATGM system, KAZ Trophy is already being installed on the Abrams and testing KAZ for infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, and at the expense of a large number of tanks in our country, all these tanks do not have a system of protection against ATGMs of the third and fourth generations of which Western countries more and more every year. 30 mm shells as well as 100 mm high-explosive shells, foreign infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers will not penetrate, for that 40 mm telescopic sub-caliber shells of these foreign vehicles, our infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles from a distance of 2000 meters into an easy one, so that replacing 30k and 100k with a single 57 mm gun with telescopic projectiles, as well as equipping with new reactive armor is obvious, both in the ground forces and in the airborne forces. And as for tanks, the most massive sub-caliber shells in service with tank forces are Mango and Mango M, the first armor penetration is 500 mm, the second 600 - they will not take any of the modern Western tanks head-on.

We draw attention to 1: 19-1: 28 and the last five seconds of this video: what is on board the car, which was not shown on others? Nodes for additional armor are installed - it is possible that DZ.
Conclusion: new BMP-3s are delivered to the troops nominally with such mounts. This means that additional protection kits are supplied.
