The Ministry of Defense is reviving the legendary tank army, which took Berlin in 1945

81
The First Guards Revives in the Russian Army tank army - a celebrated union of Soviet times, reports Interfax-AVN message source in the Ministry of Defense.



“The army headquarters has already been restored,” said a source.

According to him, “the Fourth Guards Kantemirovsky Tank Division, the Second Guards Taman Motorized Rifle Division, the Sixth Tank Brigade, 27-I Guards Sevastopol Motorized Rifle Brigade” were already included in the re-uniting formation. There is a process of formation of "compounds and parts of the army kit."

According to military experts, First Tank will significantly increase the strike capabilities of troops in the western direction.

The headquarters of the army is located in the suburban village of Bakkovka.

Help Agency: “The First Guards Tank Army was formed in 1944 on the basis of the First Tank Army (second formation) as part of the First Ukrainian Front. In 1945, she participated in the Berlin Strategic Offensive. After the war, was part of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany with headquarters in the city of Dresden. After the withdrawal from Germany, the army headquarters was in Smolensk until its disbandment in 1998. ”

          This order from the other side, by the way, cost a lot of money. Really it was impossible to add a blue stripe to the existing symbol and that's it. All the colors of the Russian Flag are in place and the Army Star has kept everything. But they acted differently, even the competition was announced. Well, now both the authors and those who dragged this "star-symbol" through, let them explain why America is rushing from it. But as always, everything is incognito.

          I agree, then. what they do with symbols is a miracle of squalor and utter nonsense!

          As a result, after some time the field of patriotics will sharply narrow, and either we will lose part of the patriotic epos, or again the authorities will be perceived as once by L.I. Brezhnev - short-sighted and toothless.

          "Signs and symbols rule the world, not words or law." These words are attributed to the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius. Interception in mind control begins with interception of control of symbols. Here is the imposition of foreign names in our media on combat aircraft and missiles, PAK FAK, MAK DAK, SUPER POOPER JET, MS-21, instead of the legendary Turolev, Ilyushin, Yakovlev. What you look into is what you turn into. The war against the Russian Civilization is being waged in accordance with all priorities and without illusions. Management priorities are, in military terms, various ways of waging aggression, wars with the aim of mastering the human, natural, energy and other resources of a country. See "The Six Priorities for Managing Humanity".

          Maybe as long as we can be controlled?
          For example, using symbols that are inherent in other nations, and not ours.
          Pentacle or "five-pointed star", it is the Star of Solomon. When placed in the region of the forehead (for example, on a cap), it is an inhibitor of brain activity. Imposed on us after the October Revolution.

          The symbol of Russia is the Eight-pointed Star of Russia.

          To understand the intricacies of management, we just need to study DOTA and BER. And until then, the Rus will be imposed by symbols that oppress us, and not give the power of Will.

              WK, with all due respect ... Exactly what I used to learn all my life - I study the annals of my ancestors - Rusov, and you - I WRITE. That is precisely our ideological inconsistencies.
              Surely you have never been interested in Bunker, KOB ... You do not know what SPAS is. You have not studied the Old Slavic Initial Letter. And all your knowledge of the Russian language is limited to the phoneme series of the Primer.
              Therefore, I am glad to receive a feedback - that not everyone shares and perceives ancient knowledge.
              But it is gratifying that there are more and more like me and we are young!
              So Russia has a chance to wake up and throw off the thousand-year-old Morok.
              Good and Health to you! ))))))))

        Yes Shoigu is a good creator of Potemkin villages such as the Kubinka-Alabino park ... tank biathlon (by the way, he revealed all the inconsistency of our tank building), air strikes ... even for motorized riflemen some kind of window dressing ... and at this time the barracks are collapsing, (not under Serdyukov they began to be repaired) in a little over a month, six planes crashed (two of them are strategists) ..... you also know nothing about the failed "hybrid" war in Donbass? .... well, by the way, the abused here who is not lazy Serdyukov did a lot (defended increased funding) of the GRU special forces, whose forces liberated the Crimea ... although it is not customary for them to beat bottles on the head like in the Airborne Forces ... and maybe that's why ... in general ... comments on VO 80% for + sy ... for a long time there was a discussion on the site that all titles should be canceled ... + and - leave .... in short, if tomorrow the Darkest does not lay down Shoigu, then forgetting about "stool" to start watering. ...

          Serdyukov did a lot
          Anatoly Eduardovich understood little in army affairs, he did not need to say thanks here. The appointment of Serdyukov as Minister of Defense in February 2007 for many was a surprise. Putin’s decision can be explained by the fact that Serdyukov proved during his service at the Federal Tax Service the ability to control huge financial flows, as they said then in the central apparatus of the Ministry of Defense. Putin then emphasized that Serdyukov has experience in the field of economics and finance, and here it is necessary to control “huge budget funds” for the modernization of the armed forces. For army affairs was General Makarov, if he was to be praised for what he had done, then this was done not thanks to, but rather, contrary to Serdyukov. I agree with you about tank biathlon, in NATO tank competitions are made more literally, we have this show, which can become a dangerous profanity, wondering who to take it as a standard for training tank crews. On the whole, do not magnify the merits of Anatoly Eduardovich against Shoigu. Of course, it would be better if the talented real general was engaged in the army, but then, it would be better if socialism returned, at its best.

General Makarov was scolded by anyone for his addiction to foreign technology, in terms of tank equipment, so I agree with him, our tank building is out .... and no prospects are visible ... while there were no sanctions, they could buy if not products, but at least components and licenses for them ... power plants, guns, fire vision systems, recipes for armored alloys, electronics, etc. ... now about a talented general ... the position of the Minister of Defense is not the position of the commander of the troops, it is much broader ... these are the problems of wartime ... supply, evacuation, the conversion of civilian production into military production, the implementation of civil defense, etc., so there is an opinion that the Ministry of Defense can be combined with the Ministry of Emergencies, where the Ministry of Emergencies will be "go troops" for example (of course, the bureaucracy in both their ministries will not like it) .... but Ustinov is a good example of a civilian at the post of the Ministry of Defense ... although he wore a military uniform, like Shoigu.

    In the early 80s, we served in the SA. My friends guarded in Kr. horn several thousand tanks from the GDR put on conservation. Others guarded the tanks in the forest beyond the Urals, the pre-war tanks and the T-34. Everything is in grease, waxed paper. I’m in our division, in the warehouses I saw boxes with soldier’s copper buttons \ that need to be cleaned with GOI paste \, tunics, even shorts, breeches and so on. And this is measured well ... And the arms depots are my mother! Boxes with three rulers, with bayonets in the kit, issue 30s - new. The potential is great. The army can not only be dressed, but also armed in acc. with the era.

      Until 1991, in 1 GVKTA there were 2 tank divisions and one motorized rifle (main striking power) + a huge bunch of battalions (EW, communications, chemists, etc.) and brigades (anti-aircraft and missile) and helicopter regiments.
      Although the news is a hundred years in the afternoon, it is said about the modern 1 GVTA - 1 tank division, 1 tank brigade, motorized rifle division and brigade.
      To the main part, in my opinion, there should be no questions.

      And this is not enough? You are aware that a worthy adversary for this army does not exist even in China. Geyropu will pass through without noticing. We’ll have to mess with the states until the right amount of transport aircraft is built, and we already have a plan for release, we won’t transfer the army at once, but we can capture the bridgehead in Fashington.

    Legendary army units return. This is a huge plus, more the Army is always strong and traditions too (all other things being equal). However, I - until now - never ceases to admire (and reassure) the fact that the Federal Center for Defense Management has been commissioned. When all the components of this system are put into operation (including the army center of the 1st Guards TA) up to the company level, then we can take a breath for a while: the lack of a proper command and control system for a long time was our scourge. And so you look, and the "first stunning blow" will become impossible ...

The revival of the first tank that took Berlin is very symbolic. Let the modern commanders of the first tank be worthy of its founder - twice the hero of the Soviet Union Mikhail Efimovich Katukov.

    He served in a separate air defense missile defense system in Naro-Fominsk. When leaving Germany, part of its infrastructure (barracks-1 unit, medical unit-1 unit, park and fuel and lubricants-1 unit) donated to us the Kantemirovsk division, since the god of war himself ordered us to be together (they have T-80 and we have a complex based on the T-80). For this they called us "Germans", "German brigade" and all that ... but everything was fine. Now I just want to be happy for the kantikov. In the first guards tank they the first role is prepared drinks And with mine it is not clear ... my brigade like "Buka" was transferred to the echelon of the defense, then they were reorganized into some kind of regiment. They probably know better there. I am not a guard or a tank, although on tracks. I am not an army, but I am not one, we are many! drinks Congratulations, Kantemirovsky regiments still expand everything to full-time and you will have great military happiness soldier

    Well, since there are no courageous people, I’ll add:
    1. A source in the Ministry of Defense is not a decision of the General Staff signed by the Minister and (in the case of the formation of a compound of this magnitude) supreme.
    2. The army is not an order lying in the safe, it is primarily PEOPLE. For the full organization of such a connection, it is necessary to call upon the appropriate number of people once a year.
    Question: Where can I get ??? And this is only in one army. He served in the Chita missile (in a large circle was called the ARMY), and she was in 88m. But we were all cropped-neutered. So minus-do-not-minus, but we simply don’t have enough people for a normal technological ARMY (as a compound).

    Another ostentatious action of the Ministry of Defense. In modern warfare with the use of the WTO, electronic warfare, etc. such a clumsy monster as a tank army will stand and wait for instructions from the leadership. Airmobile brigades, which should include motorized rifle, tank, artillery units with air defense and air defense cover, are much more effective in their use. Moreover, all these units must be part of the brigades and obey the commander of the brigade. This is the only way in the conditions of modern warfare and a rapidly changing environment that a commander is able to successfully conduct a battle.
