Battalion set BMD-4M and BTR-MDM entered the mountain airborne assault division of the Airborne Forces

A battalion set of military equipment entered service with the mountain airborne assault division of the RF Airborne Forces deployed in the Southern Military District. This is reported by the Ministry of Defense.

According to the report, the Airborne Division received about 40 units of new armored vehicles - BMD-4M airborne combat vehicles and BTR-MDM armored personnel carriers ("Shell"). It is clarified that the combat vehicles were transferred to the airborne assault Kuban Cossack regiment of the Novorossiysk guards airborne assault formation.

These airborne combat vehicles increase the combat potential and combat power of the Airborne Forces, and in particular the combat power of your division. These samples are floating and have no analogues in their characteristics, many times lighter tanks and are slightly inferior to them in firepower, and in speed, maneuverability and power reserve in many ways surpass

- said the Deputy Commander of the RF Airborne Forces for Logistics Nariman Timergazin, who was present at the equipment transfer ceremony.

Prior to that, in January and June, the 234th Guards Airborne Assault Black Sea Order of Kutuzov, 3rd Class Regiment named after Saint Alexander Nevsky of the Pskov Airborne Division, received two battalion sets of equipment.

In January, the Deputy Commander of the Airborne Forces, Major General Anatoly Kontsevoy, said that in 2020 three battalion sets of military vehicles were expected to enter the formations and military units of the Airborne Forces.

The serial production of BMD-4М ("Object 960М") is carried out by JSC "Volgograd Tractor Plant", BTR-MDM ("Object 955") is made by JSC "Kurgan Machine-Building Plant" (KMZ).

Happy for Landing But just as recent events show, it is necessary to saturate the army and the UAV.

Quote: mal

you need to saturate the army and the UAV.

I think that the Airborne Forces is useful and something like Derivation-Air Defense + something mobile means of radio suppression of the "UAV swarm".

[Magnat231]

And what are the recent events, when you do not have air defense, then the cornman, a strategic bomber

[Wolf]

There is no UAV and radar stations that can easily detect them, zpr. Radar station on long-flying UAVs or something like that is fixed and means of destruction of UAVs, REB or something like that, Tunguska new modernized versions to shoot down cheaply. But Kurganets is also needed. A lot of this is needed, but also a balance between the need and the possibilities. Defense against UAVs, as well as means of destroying them and the CENTERS FROM WHERE THEY are CONTROLLED, IS A PRIORITY FOR THE MODERN ARMY.
No need to score like the Poles during the Second World War when Hitler attacked Poland, stormed the German tank on horseback with sad consequences. The outdated army is much worse than the Partisans. By obsolete is meant the PHILOSOPHY of Waging War at the tactical level.
The Polish generals simply did not have an idea of ​​how to wage war against such a technological modern enemy, time passed them, they remained in the past.
In my opinion, they would have passed much better if the army was immediately turned into partisans and waged a partisan war than a frontal warrior with a much technically strong enemy.
UAVs in the Karabakh war showed only PART OF ITS POSSIBILITIES !!!

And mornaritsi need a UAV and ochim! And Daggers need UAVs and ochim. etc......

[Nikolaevich I]

"... entered the Mountain Division of the Airborne Forces ..." - my heart skipped a beat in delight (!): "Boomerang"? "Kurganets"? No ... no figs for you! Take what they give! Well ... BMD-4M / BTR-MDM so BMD-4M .... that's not bad either! And "Boomerang" with "Kurganets", probably, my great-grandchildren, nevertheless, will wait!

[tarabar]

If Boomerangs and Kurgan residents are crammed into the Airborne Forces, then they will no longer be paratroopers, but mabuts. Means is not from me.

[Ros 56]

I am very surprised by your minus, although I am probably the only one writing behind you. Do they put Modera?

[Avior]

I don't want to say anything, but here is the man on the left on the tower in the photo - he has no problems with the hatch?

[nonsense]

I am one jarring from the phrase "mountain airborne assault division of the Airborne Forces" and from the fact that BMD entered its armament? The logic of the armament process eludes me ... If the division is mountainous, then why would it need armored vehicles at all? - In the mountains, it will not go far ... If the division is an assault, then "lumel" equipment like BMD is like a dog's fifth leg - you will not get too much on it. A more serious technique is needed here ... Everything is confused in the house ...

[Mishka78]

Yes, I agree with you. And I am also jarred by these names:
Airborne assault Kuban cossack Regiment of the Novorossiysk Guards Airborne Assault Formation.
234th Guards Airborne Assault Black Sea Order of Kutuzov 3rd Class Regiment named after St. Alexander Nevsky Pskov Airborne Division
Is this all just official names?
Cossack regiment of the Airborne Forces named after St. Alexander Nevsky?
What a trash, honestly ..

As far as I understand, this is already the 11th battalion kit.

The first two battalion kits for the combat unit were delivered by Kurganmashzavod in 2016. The 137th Guards Parachute Regiment received them. The third and fourth battalion kits in 2017 were received by the 31st Guards Airborne Assault Brigade. Then, in 2018-2019, the fifth and sixth battalion kits received the 104th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment. The seventh set was transferred to the 234th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment in early 2020. The eighth and ninth battalion kits received the 108th airborne assault regiment in May 2020. The tenth set entered the Pskov division in June 2020. At that time, there were 320 units in the Airborne Forces. BMD-4M and up to 180 pcs. BTR-MDM

Together with the new delivery, 351 pieces are obtained. BMD-4M and 189 pcs. BTR-MDM, a total of 540 units of new equipment in the Airborne Forces.
