The main task of the Airborne Troops Command is multipurpose re-equipment of the troops as soon as possible.

The main task of the Airborne Forces Command (Airborne Forces) as a military command body is a multi-purpose rearmament of troops in the shortest possible time (the nearest 3-5 years) terms, Commander of the Airborne Forces Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov told reporters.

According to the Commander of the Airborne Forces, in the development of a number of armored tracked vehicles for the Airborne Forces, the ideology laid down by the legendary Vasily Margelov should be sustained - three units of airborne combat vehicles (platoon) should be transported and parachuted from one aircraft. At the same time, the characteristics of armor protection and armament of airborne combat vehicles (BMD) must meet the latest requirements.

“All these indicators are met by the new BMD-4M combat vehicle,” says Vladimir Shamanov. “It’s certainly not perfect, but it has tremendous potential for further improvement and modernization of both the base chassis and the weapon module,” he concluded.

According to Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov, the first 5 units of BMD-4М Airborne Forces will be received for the final state tests by the end of this year. Another 5 units BMD-4М and 10 units of the multipurpose shell armored carrier shell - in the first half of 2014.

At the same time, the Airborne Forces Command is considering the options for adopting reconnaissance, special units and airborne support units for lightly armored vehicles.

“Our Tiger family cars have proven themselves well, but for the final decision on their adoption it is necessary to carry out a full range of military tests, including checking the possibility of their landing from military transport aircraft aviation”, Continued Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov.

“In this regard, we have established close cooperation with the management of KamAZ. There are already good developments, and in September-October of the current year, the first samples of equipment meeting the requirements of the Airborne Forces will begin to flow to the troops, ”he concluded.

The multi-purpose approach and the unified ideology in re-equipping the troops are incorporated into the state armament program and are reflected in the plans to re-equip and re-equip the airborne troops before 2020.

So after all already lifted! We had to buy 10 units this year, then the figure was 7 units, and now 5 and 5 in 2014. With such a rise in prices in 3-5 years, there is no way. It is necessary to stop chaos and go to normal economically reasonable prices.

[S_mirnov]

“I hope there will be no problems with rearmament,” - how can this not arise ?! What do you think you can systematically destroy the defense industry, and then again, and make a bunch of high-quality and cheap weapons?
Well, just the top of naivety!

But this is very slow! I understand that if 20 30 40 well 50 units go into operation This is the pace! And for 5 pieces, we will modernize the army for 20 years and not finish

Airborne .. a direct cult of some sort recently

My and your defense are all the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, a small part of which is the Airborne Forces. And now the Airborne Forces has been turned into a brand, including those who are at the helm of these troops. Which, among other things, will confirm your comment, since the installation has popped into your head that only the Airborne Forces are our REAL PROTECTION. So it’s better to knock denyushku.

I don’t know what your shaman knows or does not know, and Shamans simply require the necessary airborne weapons. After 20 years of the collapse of the military-industrial complex, it is difficult to get the amount of modern technology, but at the pace, at the Soviet level. You should not fool around on the subject of the Airborne Forces, as these are troops, belonging to which gives a feeling of pride to any decent person. In order to understand, you need to blaspheme real, not virtual epaulets, then there will be no desire in an empty bazaar.

[shipp53]

Special production at the Volgograd Tractor Plant made only machines for the "Paratroopers", from BMD1 to BMD4, Shells, Octopus, etc., and now the production of BMD has been completely destroyed, the production of landing vehicles has been transferred to the Kurgan Machine-Building Plant, which made only BMPs, here they learn with the Shell, BMD4M, because for them this is new, because in the BMD the constructor fought to reduce the weight of the machine (so that it could parachute), and Kurgan is still a problem with the weight. After all, the production of landing vehicles in Volgograd was specially destroyed in order to weaken the power of the Airborne Forces, and buying equipment behind the cordon, there are already examples. In the photo at the beginning of the article, the machines of the Volgograd Tractor Plant BMD4 were made until 2008.

Look at the map of Russia, about the size of the modern army, you will see and it will become clear that the airborne forces, in essence, the state’s life circle, to delay the aggressor, until the main forces approach, cut off the enemy from supplying, vital communications, etc.

[mojohed]

Airborne Forces is the only maneuverable shield of Russia. And its fighting efficiency leaves no doubt. Glory to the Airborne Forces!

[Vladimir-89]

You're not right. In addition to swimming in the fountains, they did not show themselves. Why limit these compounds to wretched BMDs, if they still never jump from planes, but ride like ordinary motorized rifles? Reform them into airmobile brigades needed.

Or you need to be the most ordinary, stupid maimun. I hope you do not belong to them, and therefore, read more, at least, and even better, go to the Army and understand everything.

[Vladimir-89]

aviamed90 I’m all leading to the fact that a BMD that doesn’t have any analogs should go to the trash, because you don’t need aluminum with roof doors, but you need either airborne Kurganets / Boomerang or buy normal equipment abroad. The same Strikers or Patria (although they probably will not fit in size)

That is, you should not wait for a story from you why you need the Airborne Forces?

[Mauritius]

The troll is me.
Operation Anadyr (1962) was attended by "subunits of the strategic missile forces, consisting of 51 consolidated missile divisions (16 launchers and 24 R-14 missiles), the 79th missile regiment of the 29th missile division and the 181st missile regiment of the 50th missile division (24 launchers and 36 R-12 missiles) with attached repair and technical bases, support and maintenance units and subunits. The division's nuclear potential in the first launch reached 70 megatons. "

[aviamed90]

I think that Vladimir-89 is somewhat right and even, in many ways, right.
It is worth reading the Combat Charter of the Airborne Forces and their destination.
Using paratroopers as a simple infantry is stupid. For this, there are motorized arrows.
Training a paratrooper is much more complicated and expensive than a simple soldier. And the fact that the Airborne Forces are used for other purposes only means that there are very few combat-ready units in the SV (specifically in the MSV).

Speaking of jumping. Airborne landing periodically and even with equipment. But quite rarely and not all parts. But this already depends on the BTA (in which the situation is no better than in all the other RF Armed Forces) and the understanding of the leadership of the Armed Forces.

[svp67]

Quote: aviamed90

It is worth reading the Combat Charter of the Airborne Forces and their mission.
Using paratroopers as a simple infantry is stupid. For this, there are motorized arrows.

Then the counter-question is - where and when were the paratroopers used instead of motorized rifles?

Wherever they were used. Starting from Afghanistan and ending with Chechnya with Georgia.

[svp67]

Quote: Vladimir-89

I REPEAT the question, where and when were airborne units used instead of motorized rifle units?

[svp67]

Quote: Vladimir-89

Wherever they were used.

You Daddy complete ignoramus. At present, the Airborne Forces are our quick reaction forces, that is, the troops that will be primarily deployed and used on the threatened section. Due to their specificity, they are armed more easily than motorized rifles and are therefore much more portable. Well, do not forget about the parts of special forces that also take the form of airborne forces, so the tasks will be found in any conflict or pre-conflict situation.

[Vladimir-89]

So I say, mobility is good, but "from heaven to slaughter" is bad. We need air transportability and a landing method, but sleepless BMDs are not needed, normal equipment is needed.

[svp67]

The landing can land in various ways. It is possible that in some conflicts it will be necessary to deploy airborne units from end to end of the country by air and land by parachute in their territory to create maneuverable defense in threatened areas and you want to deprive them of even light armor? But it is not known how much they will have to stay until motorized riflemen and tankers approach. So this technique is needed by our airborne forces, it is simply REQUIRED.

[aviamed90]

Then I, as an aviator, have a question: do you transfer a lot of them, having the current number of BTA aircraft (even involving transport aircraft of other types of the Air Force and GA) and transport helicopters? It was considered somehow. Result: 1,5-2 pdp with equipment or 1,5 airborne forces without equipment (the estimate is approximate and depends on the types of aircraft). And this is without security parts.

Do not believe? Look at the military structure of the BTA, AA SV, TA of the Air Force and the Civil Aviation.

[svp67]

Quote: aviamed90

Result: 1,5-2 pdp with technology

In order to SIGNIFICANTLY spoil the "mood" of the enemy and make it difficult with maneuverable actions, and perhaps for some time to detain the enemy troops, these forces are quite enough. It all depends on tactics ...

[aviamed90]

svp67

Not sure. Depends on the number of troops of the opposing enemy.

Suppose the Japs landed in Primorye or in Kamchatka. Can you imagine the scale of such an airborne operation?
But the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (according to the doctrine they did not prepare for this)
Well, suppose we are transferring our airborne forces in quantity (see above). Where do the SVs come from (TV and SV)? Those. main forces (or reinforcements).
It takes a lot of time to pull them up! So the idea of ​​moving troops from one part of the country to another is a bluff! To do this, you must have at least a developed transport infrastructure (at least a railway road or a road (water) network) and, as a maximum, a sufficient quantity of BTA. We have neither one nor the other. Counted such options in Monino - they are not real and not feasible.
And throwing people to death without a goal, just to spoil someone's insistence - is not reasonable, pathetic and criminal.

In addition, such masses of aviation must be covered by fighter aircraft. Where do you get it so much?

Therefore, such tasks, as I outlined, should certainly be solved by SV (of which the cat cried).

[svp67]

Quote: aviamed90

Where do the CBs come from (TV and CB)? Those. main forces (or reinforcements).

Already apparently I will not reveal the secret - from Siberia and the Urals. And not so much time is required for this, since the railway network - TRANSIB and BAM exist and operate, and now there is also a direct highway passing through the whole country for military equipment ...

[aviamed90]

Too shy to ask. How do you transfer them? And how long?

[svp67]

Quote: aviamed90

By then, nothing will remain of the guys from the Airborne Forces. And not because they kill - cartridges (shells) simply run out.

[Mauritius]

As last time?
One landing regiment? In two hours?

[mehanik27]

let's be fair, the phrase about which you mention for so many years has been so taken out of context and perverted that it is simply ridiculous to recall it.

[Mauritius]

This phrase was uttered after the failure of the attempt to capture Grozny by the Chechen opposition with the support of Russian tanks in November 1994. When the same task was posed to P.S. Grachev (the result is well known), he began to talk about a phrase taken out of context that he was misunderstood, etc.
"Just listen fully to my statement. Otherwise, they snatched out only one phrase from the context of a big speech - and let's exaggerate. It was about the fact that if you fight according to all the rules of military science: with the unlimited use of aviation, artillery, rocket forces, then the remnants the surviving bandit formations could indeed be destroyed in a short time by one parachute regiment. could do it, but then my hands were tied."

[mehanik27]

How wonderful, you learned to copy from Pedivikia ... so what, if you take into account the fact that fighting by all rules with aviation, and so on, is it really possible to take Grozny with one regiment ????

[Mauritius]

It was truly said two thousand years ago: "An army of rams led by a lion is stronger than an army of lions led by a ram."

[Mauritius]

Common truths and common ones.
Indeed, it was said two thousand years ago: "An army of rams led by a lion is stronger than an army of lions led by a ram!"

[cyclist]

I would choose an army of lions led by a lion

[Mauritius]

Unfortunately, we live in the real world.

[svp67]

... explaining to the personnel the need for the rational use of ammunition and other materiel, the skillful use of weapons and military equipment captured from the enemy;
(Combat charter of the Airborne Forces, paragraph 57)

[pavel031976]

the average speed of separation of troops is 60 ... 70 km \ day

[aviamed90]

And you count - how long does it take to transport 1 TP (or SME) on the railway from the areas you specify. You probably joked about the highway across the country? Even if it weren’t our Putin highway, but the autobahn, then what normal commander would spend motor resources on tanks and other equipment? It’s not enough to transfer tanks - they still need to shoot something! Those. must be relocated with rear and support parts.

And this: the time to concentrate at the loading station, the loading itself, travel time, unloading, a march to the designated lines, combat deployment. This is not counting problems with cars and platforms for equipment. The guys from VOSO have been sufficiently informed on this subject. Ask them.
This is not a day or even a week.

In addition, there are simply no roads in Kamchatka. And in Primorye there is only one branch (Khabarovsk-Vladivostok) and its throughput is not very high (since no one has been involved in it since the times of the USSR).

Why am I writing like this - I myself took part in such calculations, though only for the support of the fighter-bomber regiment (the regiment itself flew according to its plans under its own power). So this is aviation. And with SV everything is much more complicated, especially with TV.

That's all our quick response troops in fact.

[svp67]

Listen, you understand the aviator, so you have a general idea of ​​earthly affairs. Already, these plans have been developed and are in safes awaiting a signal. There is everything you are so worried about, moreover, the command responsible for implementing these plans teaches them by heart, with the passing of offsets.
And on the Far East, the main port is Vanino ... To which the approach is from both BAM and TRANSIB.
And the main thing now at all exercises is the issue of loading - unloading on the railway transport units is really worked out

[aviamed90]

Yes - I'm an aviator. But not only were you trained in combined-arms tactics, operational art of the SV, rear support, etc. They taught well in the Soviet Union. And my idea is not general, but quite concrete. I know what I'm talking about.

And about the plans ... Do you yourself believe in that? Maybe they were lying, these plans are in safes. But after the defeat arranged by the stool, they lost their practical meaning.
Just because there are almost no combat forces left. We switched from divisions to brigades (the results of brigade tactical exercises are known). How can one plan something without troops and not knowing what they are capable of?

And I really once dealt with the planning of the transportation of railway support units on the railway. And these parts, believe me, are not much different from the same in the NE. The same platforms, the same wagons and tanks.

And in the Far East not only the port of Vanino. Here is a reference: "5,6 sea trade and 22 fishing ports are located along 10 thousand miles of the coast of the Far East. The largest of them, with a potential turnover of at least 1 million tons: - Vostochny, Nakhodka, Vladivostok, Posiet, Plastun - in Primorsky Territory; Vanino, De-Kastri - in the Khabarovsk Territory; Kholmsk, Korsakov, Uglegorsk - on Sakhalin; Magadan - in the north and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky - in Kamchatka.Currently, problems common to the main ports of the Far East are insufficient cargo capacity (in in some cases - due to their geographic location), lack of port communications and equipment obsolescence, insufficient railroad capacity (lack of wagon fleet, “narrow” border crossings, etc.). "

But who will let you land there? No, really! Only on the coastline! And this is another story - more of a Marine.

[svp67]

Quote: aviamed90

And these parts, believe me, are not much different from the same in the NE. The same platform, the same cars and tanks.

The platforms are those, but not those. You can’t load a tank on every one, and each type of military equipment has its own peculiarities ... In addition, there are still a lot of questions on security, communications, and security. And for that matter, how many samples of equipment you have capable of unloading at unprepared sites?

[svp67]

Quote: aviamed90

In addition, there are simply no roads in Kamchatka.

And there is already someone on the railway will not ride, only on roads or off-road.

Quote: aviamed90

he himself took part in such calculations, though only for the support units of the fighter-bomber regiment

You did it once, but the "overland" ones have to do it all the time ... So for them there is no "Chinese" letter ...

[aviamed90]

In short, I did not convince you that the SBR in modern war is nonsense?

They are good at local conflicts (not to be confused with regional wars) and special operations (which corresponds to the purpose of the Airborne Forces).

Have you ever tried to drive on BMD through the remote taiga and hills? There, people walk with difficulty.

"You did it once, but the" overland "ones have to do it all the time ... So for them there is not some kind of" Chinese "letter ...".

So what? Let once. It’s useful, you know, to think seriously about the problem at least once, and not just to pose an impossible and stupid combat task.

And will you name at least one case in the recent history of the Russian army when the SV division (TD or ISD) was transferred as a whole with support units to the area located at a distance of at least 1000 km? Something I don’t remember. Only Chechnya and Georgia do not give as an example - there was a different story.

Anyway, the Nefig had 300 Spartans blocking Thermopylae in front of an enemy of many thousands - they were foolish criminals. It is strange only that the people and History think differently.

In general, if our "unreasonable criminal grandfathers" reasoned in this way, neither we, nor Russia, as a state, would simply not exist at all.

Do you think that the slogan "We'll throw our hats and fill them with corpses" is unusually effective and in demand in the XNUMXst century? Remember the lessons of the Second World War ... Or people are already worthless to you? Do you think that there is romance in when thousands of paratroopers are thoughtlessly sacrificed? This is not romance, this is a war crime. And according to the law, they are imprisoned for him at best, and at worst - ...

[svp67]

Quote: Vladimir-89

The Airborne Forces are the type of troops that are initially taught to fight in complete encirclement. So they are not taken into the "boilers", they themselves deliberately go there. But whether they die or remain alive depends largely on other types and types of troops.

[svp67]

The defense of the aerodrome is organized by separate company (platoon) strongholds with anti-tank weapons and air defense facilities located in them in the directions of the likely advancement of the enemy. Removing the front edge of strongholds should exclude the defeat of aircraft on the runway by direct fire from tanks and enemy guns. The gaps between the supporting points are covered with mine-explosive obstacles. Extension routes and reserve deployment lines are being prepared. Part of the units allocated for action from ambushes on the path of the enemy.

Retreating is possible. Not in their ability to delay the "first wave". But in their ability to restrain it, make it "trample", deprive of supplies and destroy the control system, collect and report intelligence information, that is, create all the conditions for bringing the main forces into battle.

[Lopatov]

They will "hold" the "first wave" for a couple of minutes. These are not infantry, and in the "first wave" there are by no means "light" units.
The "heavy" American motorized infantry will tear the parachute battalion like a hot water bottle. A motorized rifle is designed for butting with three such motorized infantry.

[Lopatov]

As where? They cut it. Moreover, unlike the Airborne Forces, at times.

For example, take Western VO.
How many infantry are there? Right, five teams. Moreover, one of them is engaged in the protection of facilities in Moscow.
And how many airborne are there? Correctly. Three divisions.

In Western VO there are more paratroopers than motorized rifles.

[aviamed90]

Various Peacekeeping Forces, Afghanistan, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Chechnya and, if you remember, Tbilisi (instead of the MVD).

To this I want to add my opinion: the Airborne Forces are definitely needed, but for this we need to change a lot, starting from the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation. And in the form as it is now - they are very expensive in terms of losses and in the sense, excuse me, of money.

So I’m talking about this: the current strength of the armed forces does not provide the required level of security for the country.

And the fact that planes are expensive ... So - do you offer to fight on airplanes? This is the specifics of the Air Force. And the airborne forces have their own specifics.

I propose to learn to fight with what is and not to interfere with people who "see the future battlefield" to do everything to protect the Motherland. The Airborne Forces is an expensive branch of the military, the best of the best in health guys are selected there, and alas, we don't have many of them, so why shouldn't these guys have the best equipment in the world?
And the fact that someone there has problems with the "fountains", so better look at how we have "simple" people drive cars - are they better than "fountains"? Apparently it's not the Airborne Forces, but the state of society as a whole?

You're not right. In addition to swimming in the fountains, they did not show themselves. Why limit these compounds to wretched BMDs, if they still never jump from planes, but ride like ordinary motorized rifles? Reform them into airmobile brigades needed.

Airborne troops exist in many armies of the world. To talk about the Airborne Forces as having no tasks is at least silly. Tasks of the Airborne Forces:

Airborne Forces (Airborne Forces) - a type of force intended for combat operations behind enemy lines. Usually they are part of the ground forces, less often - part of the air force (fleet), but can also be an independent branch of the armed forces.

Designed for landing from the air behind enemy lines or for rapid deployment in geographically remote areas, they are often used as quick reaction forces. The main method of delivery of the Airborne Forces is parachute landing, can also be delivered by helicopter

In the USA, there is the 18th Airborne Corps of the Ground Forces, which includes several divisions and brigades (for example, the 82nd Airborne Division (Airborne Forces) and the 101st Airborne Assault Division (Airborne Forces)), with a total strength of about 90 thousand people (to compare the Russian Airborne Forces there are only 35 thousand people), and they are not going to liquidate or transform this kind of troops, just like Israel, and moreover they are developing this kind of troops.
Conclusion: Russian Airborne Forces should be developed and modernized! And all your words are just nonsense ...

[Vladimir-89]

Let's start with the fact that the Airborne Forces is a purely soviet invention. They were abandoned everywhere after WWII, but the USSR wanted it to "have no analogues."

Conclusion: Russian Airborne Forces must develop, modernize! And all your words are just nonsense ...

Oh, nowhere is there such a cat-like as ours - when a whole kind of troops with their aluminum equipment is camped for incomprehensible purposes.

Can you read? I told you that there are also Airborne Forces in the USA and Israel, they have not refused the Airborne Forces, and they will not refuse. Or will you with stupid obstinacy deny this fact? I recommend typing in a search engine
82nd U.S. Airborne Division and carefully study the issue, and not write any nonsense ... In many countries of the world, they not only do not abandon the airborne troops, but also develop them.

[Lopatov]

Have you studied it yourself? For example, why are the airborne troops the Americans.

[Rebus]

Quote: Spade

For example, why are the airborne troops the Americans.

Concerning the 18th US Airborne Corps:

US military experts believe that the VDK is necessary for a strategic operation during a crisis and should be prepared for action in a critical situation in any region. He arrives in the operation zone by air, sea and land ...
The main tasks of the VDK are: readiness for emergency transfer to any region of the world; providing comprehensive support to the allies and pro-American regimes by increasing the military presence and demonstration of force, and, if necessary, conducting military operations; protection (protection and defense) and the evacuation of American citizens and objects in the crisis zone. In addition to the main tasks, the corps is entrusted with a number of additional tasks: suppressing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in the Third World countries, combating international terrorism and drug trafficking, and carrying out UN peacekeeping missions. Forces 18 of the Airborne Forces, according to the chairman of the committee of chiefs of staff, should be focused on use primarily in areas where the US military presence is limited for political, economic and other reasons. To such regions, the American military-political leadership includes primarily the Near and Middle East, Africa, the zone of Central and South America. At the same time, the use of the corps in any strategically important region for the United States is not ruled out.

And the airborne units in this corps:

The division can solve both tactical and operational-strategic tasks. The main ones include: delivering sudden attacks on the enemy from the rear, seizing and destroying command and control posts. Communication centers, airfields, nuclear weapons delivery vehicles, mastering important areas of the terrain, ferry crossings, bridgeheads, prohibiting the enemy from retreating and moving his reserves out of depth, strengthening surrounded by a group of their troops. In addition, 82 airborne units may be involved in special operations, such as capturing political and military leaders, as well as suppressing national liberation movements and maintaining stability in regions and countries of "vital importance" to the United States.
The division can be parachuted, landing or combined. In the landing area, as a rule, 10-12 zones of discharge and four to six landing zones are assigned to it. Depth of landing (landing) is 10-200 km from the line of contact of the parties. American experts note the readiness of 82 airborne divisions to parachute on any overseas theater of operations after they are transported to operational areas by military transport aircraft. Similar airdrops were carried out at exercises such as Bright Star (in the Middle East), Golden Feznt (in Central America) and others.

In 2003, the main hostilities in Iraq took place in the west and southeast of the country, where the main forces of the Anglo-American coalition attacked from Jordan and Kuwait. All the attention of the world was riveted to the fierce battles for Basra, Karbala and Fallujah, stubbornly refusing to give up. Against this background, the opening of the northern front, went almost unnoticed by the general public. Although the operation itself was unprecedented. In the early morning of March 26, about 1000 soldiers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade of the US Army, after a five-hour flight, made the most massive landing since the Second World War behind enemy lines.

[Lopatov]

You see how good it is to be educated. So, the US Airborne Forces are intended to build up forces in the theater of operations, and either in friendly or in neutral territories. First, a company of 3-hour readiness, then a daily battalion, then more, more and more. And after 60 days, the Americans have a full-fledged military grouping capable of waging a local war. American paratroopers provide security and a military presence, and with the arrival of all troops, they are transferred to the attached Humvees to act as normal light infantry units.

Quote: Rebus

In the early morning of March 26, about 1000 soldiers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade of the US Army, after a five-hour flight, made the most massive landing since the Second World War behind enemy lines.

Loudly said. However, it is not entirely true. They landed in Iraqi Kurdistan, the airfield was already controlled by special forces and intelligence. Two battalions were dropped by parachute method, plus they dropped 10 artillery and air defense cargo platforms. This was done only because the airfield was not yet adapted to receive a large number of aircraft. And they flew from Italy.
Then they transferred people and equipment by landing method. Why was this "not noticed"? Because they did not participate in real hostilities. They provided protection for the base, convoys from Turkey and supported the armed formations of the Kurds with artillery fire and intelligence, which were ruled by advisers from the Special Operations Forces.

[bask]

Quote: Spade

You see how well enlightened. So, the US Airborne Forces are designed to build up forces on the theater of operations, and

Once again, there is no need to compare the airborne troops of the United States and Russia.
Amers have marines. Armed with heavy weapons and their own aircraft.
The Airborne Forces in Russia combines the tasks of both marines and paratroopers in the United States.
So that it is impossible to compare the Russian and American airborne.
The tasks on paper are the same, but it is only on paper.

[Lopatov]

This is yes, "combine". Because the Marines are even more cut than the infantry.

This is at Budesy

The use of a paratrooper regiment in cooperation with NH-90 or CH-53 helicopters will make it possible, along with classical tasks (landing, airborne transfers, general support), to solve the main thing - to conduct an air-assault (airmobile) operation behind enemy lines, during which the infantry will carry out the capture and retention of the bridgehead, and will also fight in various conditions. Helicopter units will provide fire support, communications, troop deployment and reconnaissance.
Participating in combined-arms operations, the airmobile brigade will be able to independently conduct combat operations with the support of the Air Force and, in some cases, the Navy. The experience of using army aviation on the territory of Iraq showed that, along with its use in combined-arms operations, direct fire support of the actions of the ground forces gained great importance.

4. Wheel anti-mine armored vehicles Mrap.
Everything is air transportable.
In 2012, the Pentagon for the first time in nine years of the war sends heavy tanks M1 ,, Abrams ,, to Afghanistan. The Marine Corps will receive 16 tanks.
oddly enough, but the amers believe that tanks will allow the Marines to have a son, to fight the Taliban more effectively ..
It is the marines, but as you know, in Afghanistan the sea is for thousands of cells. What are they doing there? They carry out combat missions as the most prepared elite part of the armed forces of the United States.
The Russian Airborne Forces are the most trained and combat-ready troops in the Russian Army. You only need to equip them with modern weapons.

I agree, many forget about infantry, and modern motorized rifle units in mobility on the battlefield will not yield to paratroopers, the question is different, to quickly get on a plane and fly to the other end of the country and immediately fight.

If you do what Marshal Ogarkov suggested, creating bases for storing property and equipment on possible theater, then the motorized rifle brigade can be transferred faster than the airborne brigade.

[mehanik27]

Well, they tried to do something similar during the reform, but as always a good idea was brought to fruition. The truth presented it as a breakthrough in the development of the RF Armed Forces

[Lopatov]

I would have signed civilian personnel for this. Aunts in VOKhR and men-technicians for service. Cheaper and much more reliable.

[mehanik27]

there it was .... there were a dozen stunted military men and aunts who were in charge of storage facilities where the equipment was located. Only cheapness and reliability didn’t smell at all there.

[Lopatov]

Well I do not know. I was at the GRAU bases, where it worked great.

[aviamed90]

The lack of a sufficient number of military transport vehicles and transport aircraft, the throughput of railway and roads, and much more, are in the way.

There is a way out, but it is not acceptable for the leadership of the Russian Federation. Everything is very simple - it is necessary to keep in the threatened areas (strategic or operational areas) enough troops to repel 1st strike and ensuring the extension of the main forces, taking into account the mobilization of the armed forces (in this system, in general, a mess (RVK)).

This amount has long been calculated by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR (RF).

But we have a reduction (optimization). And you can’t exceed the number of the army more than 1 million people.

Do you think that the airborne forces will go directly against superior enemy forces. The main task is to disorient the enemy troops, sow house among them, deprive mobilization opportunities and much more, but now the tasks have changed a bit, no one is preparing for a big war in Europe, and the level of air defense assets has reached a high level. In the event of a serious war, the landing will solve any problems and may return to the old scheme.

For twenty years I gave the Airborne Forces, I know many officers and generals of the Airborne Forces personally, and then all sorts of people begin to pour mud on well-deserved people and teach us what the Airborne Forces need and what not.

Now more fashion is driving, it’s convenient for many to order an expensive little useful one. About a year and a half ago I tried to make a cargo discharge system such as shovels, armored shields, so that the unit that arrived at a height could be strengthened without carrying heavy loads, but this is not cool - a trench with an armored guard. Let the army play enough adventures, then the partisans will come down.

[Lopatov]

The armor plates are not serious. Here is a good thing: http://www.cpstent.com/catalog/8/

Found, covered with soil, even in the mountains you can create normal engineering structures. And then, unlike the bags, he poured it out, threw it to another place and installed it again.

[Volkhov]

You do not understand - bulk containers need to be filled up with something, in the illustration - with a front-end loader. I had in mind a different situation - the company lightly reached a height without roads, there is no loader, but competitors will come soon - that is, you have to quickly dig into hard ground and get mortars from somewhere, etc. All this - crowbars, trench charges, containers with ammunition must be dumped from above, but so that it does not slip to the enemy. If people dig in and are covered by an armored shield when shooting, then it will be difficult to defeat them, but on a bare slope and with a minimum of reserves - it will be much easier.
It's just that the site has a lot of fiction - for example, plans to go to the war by rail at express speed. In reality, the stations will look like Belaya Kalitva on May 8, and the bridges will fall to the bottom, like Belgrade, electric locomotives will even go deadlock due to a collapse of the network, and the locomotive, unlike a steam locomotive, is poorly repaired - it’s easy to weld a hole in the boiler, and a hole in diesel - at the factory. In the Great Patriotic War, only 16000 locomotives were delivered from the United States - so many will not send diesel locomotives.
The troops immersed in wagons in the war will be isolated like a royal train somewhere in the forest, they will not be able to fight from the car, and die as many as they like under bombardment.
The real way out - mobile sets for heavy trucks to switch to the rail - KAMAZ will drag 3 ... 5 cars, but this must be designed and done beforehand, and this is not at all cool - some kind of wheels, pneumatic adapters ...

The recruits are the same for all, but the education of the recruits is actually different, especially the upbringing of the tradition and the level of combat training. We do not live in an isolated society, we often encounter motorized riflemen and tankers at training grounds and see how much the level of combat training, motivation of the Airborne Guards, Marines and Special Forces is higher than that of the land soldiers. It came to the ridiculous, I personally had to teach tank lieutenants how to work with the electronic ballistic computer. And what is the artillery preparation of the attack, the combatants of the ground forces are generally unaware, although it is they who must steer the attached and supporting artillery. As regards the Airborne Forces, these tasks are constantly being worked out, not to mention their native tactics. Hence the training of fighters a few goals higher. And from here, unfortunately, the temptation of the country's leadership to use the Airborne Forces wherever possible, although the army component should work. We, the paratroopers, also do not like to be a gag everywhere, so pull your officers and fighters to our level.

Airborne tags should be primarily the forces of rapid deployment!
Which in preparation and equipment should surpass the infantry. With the exception of special units ((GRU) and marines .. Airborne units should be used both for: overcoming the prepared defense of the enemy, and for conducting landing operations.
To perform these tasks, the Airborne Forces should have their own armored, artillery, aviation, sniper units, MRAP, auxiliary and combat engineer armored vehicles.

Why airborne heavy equipment? To lose all your mobility benefits?

And do not confuse the US Marine Corps with the Airborne. These are different types of troops and with different tasks. Compare better our airborne with the American (and they also have them):
"The US Airborne Forces (English Airborne Forces) is a highly mobile elite branch of the US Army, which includes military formations, units and subunits of light infantry, designed to deliver by air to the rear of the enemy and conduct active hostilities in his rear zone.
A limitation for US VAT combat units can only be the number and carrying capacity of military transport aircraft, ensuring their delivery to the combat area. "

Well, you are a strategist!

And what does the storming of Grozny have to do with it? Is this a task for the Airborne Forces?

Yes, despite the fact that the Airborne Forces during the assault played a key role. And whether or not they are questions to the General Staff of Russia.
The basic model of BMD for the airborne forces should be like that of the Shredskoy SEP.
SEP is ,, Modular Tactical Platform, “Tracked and Wheeled. With unification up to 80%. Modularity in the design, the central part of the hull, docking with the base chassis. Allows you to transform SEP into a tractor, ambulance, 10 infantry armored personnel carriers, missile launcher, command post, mine clearing vehicle, radar, reconnaissance vehicle, chemical reconnaissance vehicle, communications center, electronic warfare machine, self-propelled mortar. Modules can be replaced in the troops. SEP weight is 17,5 tons, 8/8 wheeled maximum weight is up to 24 tons. Load capacity is 6 tons. The internal volume is 13 cubic meters. The length and width of the SEP are the same for the 6/6 wheeled and the caterpillar - 5,9 and 2,7 meters. Height - 1,9 for tracks and 2 meters for wheels.
Here is such an example should be BMD for the Airborne Forces. Defense, for mine and ballistic protection not lower than STNAG-3

At what storm of Grozny did the airborne forces play a decisive role ???

[Lopatov]

That's exactly what no heavy equipment is needed. They need to return the helicopter regiment seized under Gorbachev.

During the storming of cities and mountains. ((Storming of Grozny))). The Airborne Forces and Marines played a key role.
And all without the cover of heavy armored vehicles. ((It's good that the Marines had their own tanks)) Now they’ve taken away.
without heavy armored vehicles and attack aircraft, modern asymmetric warfare is indispensable. (((there will be big losses)))

[mehanik27]

And let's not take the example of Grozny. Fortunately for the Airborne Forces as a whole and for us in particular during the chaos and collapse in the early 90s, there was preserved at least partially combat training in almost all parts, if not in all. And this is not because they are paratroopers, and due to the fact that they have always been a separate state in the state. Although, if you face the truth, the same marines often had cases when companies were manned by simple sailors before being sent to Chechnya, that they had seen the machine once sworn . And in the end they fought no worse than VD

And let's not take the example of Grozny.

And let's be.
As the most illustrative example.
In Israel, all paratrooper units are equipped with heavy, armored vehicles. The exception is the special forces brigade, zahanit,
During the 2006 war in Lebanon, Hezbollah fighters opened heavy fire at buildings captured by assault groups of paratroopers. ((As in the storming of Grozny)))
But the Israeli paratroopers had BTR-T ,, Ahzarit and MBT. ,, Merkava ,, And they well studied the experience of the Soviet army during the storming of cities in the Second World War.
During street battles in, WWII, the Soviet T-34s moving at high speed broke through the line of defense. Then they drove ((in reverse, many such episodes in old Soviet films)) to the store, the arch, using them as a shelter. Opening fire from guns and machine guns, destroying enemy firing points. Assault groups, under cover of tank fire, successfully stormed the enemy strongholds and broke into the defense.

If as of now ((elite highly mobile infantry))) the weapons and tactics-charter of the airborne forces should be changed. Under modern tasks of the airborne forces.
And most importantly, there should be armored vehicles and aviation to solve the widest range of tasks facing the airborne forces.
Not in vain in the West and in the East, fear and respect the Airborne Force !!!!
With the adoption of only BMD-4M and BTR ,, Shell, "these issues cannot be resolved. (((At the rate of rearmament of 7 pieces a year))) it's just a mockery of the airborne forces.
The experience of other countries will not hurt, but it should be revised and applied to Russian conditions.

How on what? They were originally created as airmobile. What heavy equipment is there? I’m saying that they had a Mi-8, Mi-24 helicopter regiment in their staff in the brigade.

This is generally a very sad story about the air assault brigades, regiments and battalions of the ground forces.
Gorbachev began to kill them, and our valiant "no one but us" finished off. Probably because they understood their necessity and their lack of need.

[aviamed90]

Lopatov

You are confusing something. There have never been a single helicopter in the state of Oshbr. Moreover, such brigades were part of the SV, and not the Airborne Forces.
Units and units of army aviation were only given to them for the duration of the combat mission.
AA AA (ASV) was periodically included in the Air Force (with operational subordination to the commander of the military districts, i.e., SV), then in the SV (in direct subordination of the commanders of military districts).

In any case, she performed tasks in the interests of the SV (tactical assault landing on enemy territory). In this case, no equipment (neither light nor heavy) was transported. Since the Mi-8 is not intended for this. Here in the Mi-26 transport, you can still stuff something like a UAZ. And the Mi-24 is a combat support helicopter, and not a transport one.

And the Airborne Forces performs the tasks of landing in the operational-tactical depth by means of the VTA.

[Lopatov]

I don’t confuse anything. Each brigade has a helicopter regiment. And the destruction of the Soviet airborne assault (read airmobile) brigades began with the fact that they had not yet formed army regiments from them. What completely discounted the idea. Well, and then completely rotted. On UAZ transplanted.

Well no. It is here that we are talking about the airborne assault brigades of the ground forces: the 11th Specialized Brigade Brigade in Ulan-Ude, the 56th Brigade Brigade in Kamyshin, the 83rd Brigade Brigade in Ussuriysk, and the 100th Brigade Brigade in Abakan.
This is not the Airborne. These are brigades intended for helicopter tactical landings in the interests of the SV.

I can't get used to the official use of a name without a middle name. "Colonel General Vladimir Shamanov". It is impossible to imagine that at one time they could print in a newspaper "Marshal Rodion Malinovsky" or "Andrey Grechko". Or name, patronymic (at least initials) and surname, or simple military rank and surname. As it started twenty-odd years ago, "Ariel Sharon, Boris Yeltsin, Bill Clinton," and so on, and so it is still going on. And then there is this boorish poking at every step - "buy, connect, take a loan", etc.

The attack is one of the types of combined arms combat. We can say the main one, because the goal of defense is to exhaust the enemy, inflict the maximum possible losses on him, and create the prerequisites for an offensive. Without an offensive, there is no victory in battle.

Glory to the Airborne Forces! Glory to the commander Vladimir Shamanov!
The main thing is not to interfere with figures like Serdyukov. In that confrontation, Shamanov could "burn out", but he became even stronger and, as before, is ready to work for the good of Russia and its armed forces.

Yes, no one offended me, so sometimes you cause laughter ... And what do you have, the facts that Shamanov actively opposed Serdyukov ???? The facts alone, that for various mischief Serdyukov threatened to say a lot with his finger (this is when he tried to catch investigators on particularly important cases of the UPC, and he wrote official important papers to the prosecutor’s office to the prosecutor general, and his son-in-law’s affairs), and he quickly drowned Serdyukov for much less.
At the same time, I personally have a completely normal attitude towards Shamanov, I just unlike nobody idealize anyone anywhere. He, as a competent military leader, turned out to be very out of place in Chechnya and did a lot to quickly end the war, and it’s a pity that he was also restrained by politicians ..And for the fact that he supported Budanov openly, a separate plus sign in his karma, although of course he could more actively defend him

In addition, parachute landings are used in the initial stages of amphibious landings, without the parachute method it is not conceivable to use SPN ...

the car is good. and I don’t need to book additionally either. it is necessary to establish a turret or anti-measures from damage to RPGs and families of anti-tank shells. Only electronics will be improved and the machine will be SUPER. The machine should:
to see at night
range of view 4-6 km,
the possibility of a launcher for UAVs,
and ATGM.
Then the paratrooper will have everything in one. The machine must be universal.

[VohaAhov]

The main thing is that our airborne troops are afraid all over the world.
And if they are afraid, then they respect.
It is not clear why only Comrade Shamanov, in a conversation about rearmament, speaks only of BMD-4M, Tigers, KAMAZAKH and Shells? Airborne troops need an SPRUT SPG. We need a 152 mm towed artillery mount in a lightweight version. And the main thing is air defense. At the moment, the paratroopers are fighting off the air enemy with 23-mm installations and MANPADS. We need a "Pantsir-VDV" based on BMD-4.

All over the world ??? Fear???

But you won’t believe it, but in the days of the USSR there were 7 divisions, like all Europe and Turkey had a bone! Yes, I agree to raise all the divisions to the wing, it was simply not realistic, there were no such opportunities, but the fact itself was sobering. Therefore, in 1978, the reinforcement of all mechanized regiments of the Bundeswehr was completely completed, increasing firepower by 2,5 times.

Operation Danube.
At 2 a.m. on August 21, 1968, advanced units of the 7th Airborne Division landed at the Ruzyne airport in Prague. They blocked the main objects of the airfield, where the Soviet An-12s began to land with troops and military equipment. The capture of the airfield was carried out using a deceitful maneuver: a Soviet passenger plane approaching the airfield requested an emergency landing due to alleged damage on board. After permission and landing, the paratroopers from the aircraft captured the airport control tower and ensured the landing of the landing aircraft.
By 4:30 a.m. on August 21, the Central Committee building was surrounded by Soviet troops and armored vehicles, Soviet paratroopers burst into the building and arrested those present. Dubcek and other members of the Central Committee spent several hours at gunpoint of Soviet machine guns.

At 5:10 a.m. on August 21, an reconnaissance company of the 350th Guards Airborne Regiment and a separate reconnaissance company of the 103rd Airborne Division landed. Within 10 minutes they captured the airfields of Turany and Namesti, after which a hasty landing of the main forces began. According to eyewitnesses, transport aircraft landed at airfields one after another. The landing jumped, not waiting for a complete stop. By the end of the runway, the plane was already empty and immediately gained momentum for a new take-off. With minimal intervals, other planes with landing and military equipment began to arrive here. Then, the paratroopers with their military equipment and in the captured civilian vehicles went deep into the country.

By 9:00 a.m. on August 21 in Brno, paratroopers blocked all roads, bridges, city exits, radio and television buildings, a telegraph office, the main post office, administrative buildings of the city and region, a printing house, train stations, as well as headquarters of military units and military enterprises industry. People’s commanders were asked to stay calm and keep order. Four hours after the landing of the first groups of paratroopers, the most important objects of Prague and Brno were under the control of the Allied forces. The main efforts of the paratroopers were aimed at the seizure of the buildings of the Central Committee of the CPC, the government, the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, as well as the building of the radio station and television.

So, to solve such problems, the Airborne Forces were intended in Soviet times. Now there are no such tasks, but nobody wants to abandon such wonderful troops, and various justifications are being invented.

You are mistaken. You cite the classic police operation against Czechoslovakia as an example. This is not the task of the Airborne Forces. Not at all!

[Mauritius]

Police - a system of public services and bodies for the protection of public order, the fight against crime, etc. (true truth). The police operation is aimed at restoring public order.
Replacing the political leadership in another country is not a police operation, but a military operation.

A police operation is not in the sense that it is being carried out by the police. And in the sense that it is being conducted by the army by police means for a specific purpose (in this case, the replacement of the regime in the country).

Police methods - detention, interrogation, search, escort, cordon, etc.

It is not the fault of the commander and units of the Airborne Forces that this bacchanalia began in Afghanistan, when the motorized rifle units did not fully cope with their tasks, and for conducting combined-arms operations, they more and more attracted the units of the Airborne Forces! This was already then the level of training of motorized rifle (1982 -87) left much to be desired.
Likewise, in Chechnya, in a nightmare, it was impossible for the rear services and airborne forces to dream that some kind of clever guy from Gen. Headquarters, and from the Headquarters of the grouping will be ordered to form rear and support columns and reinforcements from airborne units, with THEIR "DURAL" boxes, which will be worn according to tasks and conditions that are not peculiar to them, fully developing the service life. Do you know how the Airborne Forces nicknamed the BMD-shka? - Disposable condom, designed for landing and LIFTING, AND SHORT-TERM FIRE CONTACT! When carrying out an operation in the rear of the enemy, then the car was blown up and the personnel, if someone still remained, proceeded to perform secondary tasks in the rear of the enemy, etc. etc.

Airborne Forces is blood sweat bruises in difficult conditions, this is heroism, courage, courage, who can be compared with the Airborne Forces deprived of the Marine Corps.

[Vladimir-89]

It’s a pity that there are no problems, and so everything is right.

Nobody infringes your courage.
You don't know much about the organizational structure of the Airborne Forces. Read ... Read, at least "Wikipedia".

[Lopatov]

"Toad crushes" from the fact that instead of supplying equipment to the base of the armed forces, motorized riflemen, they buy expensive disposable toys for the Airborne Forces.

[Break chance]

Since the tasks were not written, therefore, the Airborne Forces is an overcoming for the sake of ... nothing. If someone has time - please, but not for my taxes.

[Vladimir-89]

But what about the glorious traditions of fathers and grandfathers? What about rewarding posthumously, getting into cauldrons and ambushes, riding on armor, swimming in fountains, fights with cops?

[a.hamster55]

Dear WAISSON! There are search engines on the network, check back periodically. MABUTA-suit jumping for special forces believe me there are such. I personally wore MABUTA for the particularly warm regions of the former USSR.
The kit included: - Panama hb, - Hb jacket with a turn-down collar, - Hb pants with cuffs at the bottom, - Boots with high berets with lace up. And God forbid you to boast of breaking bricks on the skull of brains.

[regsSSSR]

any advance is a big plus! trampling on the spot and empty chatter must be inappropriately this is a sure minus! good cars nekamu esho not interfere, God forbid that all zaplonirovannoe turned out good luck!

[RSNV.]

That's just where this forward

[a.hamster55]

They say that a paratrooper’s point can open three rows of thorns before the dome opens! I agree at the very heart almost stopped! But the bayonet is better

[jump master]

You have the wrong information, it’s not about triggering when you open the parachute! And in what you are landing, as well as with what, and for what!

[Alex]

Well, tasks for the Airborne Forces have been given to you lately. Thank God there hasn’t been large-scale military operations. Of course, in counter-terrorist operations and regional conflicts it’s really difficult to pick up tasks for such troops. However, Margelov created the Airborne Forces based on the experience of the Second World War, where there are tasks for landing there was more than enough. We still maintain our army not only for police events.

[Vladimir-89]

However, Margelov created the Airborne Forces based on the experience of the Second World War.

The whole point. Said it suddenly and bluntly.

[mehanik27]

I all thought that the Airborne Forces began to be created before the war on the basis of the 11th Infantry Division in the 30s, which then became a 201st Airborne Brigade. But it turns out that Vasily Filippovich only began to create the Airborne Forces after the Second World War ... Vyazbmoy fought to death and died then ???

[Lopatov]

Very good question.

[cyclist]

Shamans take care of their subordinates !! Good !!

[lucidlook]

In accordance with GPV-2020, more than one thousand BMD-2020M were to be received by the Airborne Forces by 4.

According to General Shamanov, the Russian Airborne Forces are equipped with modern equipment and weapons by only 4%, so GPV-2020 provides 90-100% of the renewal of the fleet and arsenal of troops.

Colonel-General Shamanov said that "if they offer me more advanced weapons, which finally begin the rearmament process, then I will abandon the BMD-4M. But knowing the capabilities of our defense industry complex and this machine, I will say: there is no alternative to the BMD-4M."

It seems that they will take it more from hopelessness than from some of its mega-capabilities. However, it is not so important.

[cyclist]

and what mega opportunities can there be? this machine is suitable for carrying out its tasks as part of the airborne units and, in general, it is not worth demanding superpowers from it

[lucidlook]

Quote: cyclist

and what mega opportunities can there be?

I, for example, radically correct those flaws that were identified during the operation of the BMD-2 and 3. In particular, poor booking. The BMD-4M, of course, has a slightly better level of protection, but still it remains bulletproof. The armament was delivered more powerful - well, of course, but it in itself pulled weight, plus ammunition. And every ton of airborne forces is worth its weight in gold. It turned out something like PT-76 in a new way. Not clear, in general.

[cyclist]

in principle, to improve protection, you can add hinged blocks, but these are already constructive solutions, for example, with parachute landing, we use one set, for ground operations we put a more protected version

That's exactly what no heavy equipment is needed. They need to return the helicopter regiment seized under Gorbachev.

What kind of shelf are you talking about?

[Lopatov]

I’m about the four airborne assault brigades of the ground forces. When they were created during the USSR, their staff included transport and combat helicopter regiments (20 Mi-24, 40 Mi-8 and Mi-6). That is, roughly they could carry out the simultaneous landing of an air assault battalion, reinforced by artillery.

[aviamed90]

See helicopter landing capabilities above.

Can you imagine how many they need to land a battalion?

And it is supposed to use the oshdbr, mainly as a DRG (6-8 people) with known tasks, and only secondarily (under certain conditions) as a tactical landing. They also had (operational) subordination before the GRU of the General Staff of the Armed Forces.

I have been in the Air Force since 1986, but for the first time I hear about such helicopter regiments. Maybe you mean operational subordination, and not organizational structure? Or am I missing something? ...

[Lopatov]

Let's count. 1 battalion of 478 people is 20 Mi-8. Given all the transportable weapons and property of 40 helicopters, they will do it with a bang.

Not on your nelly. For this there were brigades of special forces. A fairly powerful air assault battalions with a mortar battery, anti-tank battery (the infantry has no more than a platoon), a grenade platoon, an anti-aircraft platoon, only as tactical landings. First of all, in the mountains and forests. And the GRU, they never obeyed.

Missed. Initially, they were created in such a way, but already at the stage of formation the helicopter regiments were taken away from them, instead they started insane experiments with the introduction of one battalion on the BMD, the introduction of self-propelled batteries, and so on. other

And why should the Strategic Missile Forces in general go into battle they are not taught this. I served in the Strategic Missile Forces the truth in connection, the troops are extremely far from military operations. And in combat training classes, it feels like they are taught how to die faster, how can you talk silently and immediately.

It is about Margelov’s creation of a modern airborne structure using airborne armored vehicles.

[Chukcha]

Well, yes, the war is "on the nose", what are the terms? The faster the better.

[aviamed90]

The fact that the carnage will be - it does not raise questions. Question - WHERE, WHEN and with WHOM?

And now you can only analyze the situation, make assumptions and prepare.

The team-headquarters of the game, not otherwise.
What for generals to pay money? Put our readers in the general staff - they will ruin everything

[aviamed90]

Seraphim

Do you think that generals do not "hang" on forums between the cuts of the military budget (for the purpose of plagiarizing the right decisions for the success of military reform)? Now such generals !!! Oooh !! Maybe they stole the idea of ​​military reform at some forum and ... What if they hang? Or maybe not the generals, but the remaining Smerdyukov girls who make decisions. Who knows?...

In addition, there are people on the forum who have a decent military education. Is it bad? On the contrary, this clarifies many issues.

[mehanik27]

I strongly doubt that generals hang on forums, girls may hang, but not at all like this.

[alert_timka]

Has anyone seen the latest BMD live? In my opinion, it is smaller than the BMP and I had a question: is the turret module with a pair of 100mm and 30mm cannon on such a machine appropriate? And how did they manage to cram the ammunition of both guns, the crew of the car and the landing there? Thanks in advance to everyone who answers my question.

[aviamed90]

Question on the topic. But, unfortunately, I am not an expert.
