[CM Black Sea – BETA Battle Report - Russian Side]

Verba is only in service with VDV at this time - so might have been glossed over by the researchers for inclusion.

 

In 2014 Russian Armed Forces receive 2 Division (VDV) and 2 Brigade set (Ground Forces) of 9K333 Verba.

 

«Верба» для Сухопутных войск и ВДВ.

Итого за год КБМ оснастило Российскую армию двумя бригадными и двумя дивизионными комплектами.

 

[Why doesn't the US Air Support roster in CMBS have the A-10 on it?]

This is dependent on a specific BDe. Just as a matter curiocity, where did you get that specific OOB?

Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade TO&E № 5/060 (Штат № 5/060 - отдельной мотострелковой бригады на МТ-ЛБМ) and information from vif, otvaga2004 etc.

[Strategic and tactical realities in CMBS]

Ive been watching a number of videos from both sides now and the potential propaganda misuse is inevitable. 

Some video from "ukrainian controlled new terminal"?

1.30+ new terminal parking.

[Strategic and tactical realities in CMBS]

But the fact still is that Ukraine is in the airport now and the separatists appear to have been kicked out of the new terminal. If someone has proof to the contrary, please show it.

Oh, there is this video that was uploaded today from the Ukrainian side. 

Video probably from october/november.

1. No snow.

2. He speaks about "our (recently) completely burned out vehicle". This BTR-80 was destroyed in october.

[Strategic and tactical realities in CMBS]

Someone said 4 x Russian battalion tactical groups involved in ukraine in summer?

 

 

4, исключительно добровольцев.

AFAIK 4 Battalion Tactical Groups.

[Strategic and tactical realities in CMBS]

 Don't you think this "Cyborg" is going use the Russian KSVK (6C8) 12.7mm sniper rifle he captured a few days ago, or do you think he's going to send it back to Russia?

 

On livejournal.com? This ASVK was captured in august.

[will ukraine have a t72]

Are those Kontact-5 or Nozsh plates on the newer vehicles? 

T-72UA-1 - Nozh.

T-72AB - Kontact-1.

 

 Does anyone happen to know the answer or have a reference source about them?

T-72UA-1.

Т-72УА-1(Russian).

I do not have a link, but the source was a Russian activist by the name of Yelena Vasilyeva.

Sorry but this source so far "killed" in ukraine:

Football team -

(Russian)

Fictional characters from books -

(Russian)

Buryat students - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FqdgQ7t51M (Russian)

[ukraine military vs russia]

Which is why Russia has risked moving in top of the line counter battery fire equipment which it can not claim was captured from Ukraine since only Russia has such equipment.

ARK-1 «Lynx» 1RL239

Produced - 1981–1986 (USSR)

SNAR-10 1RL-232 “Big Fred”

Produced - 1970–1991 (USSR)

top of the line

since only Russia has such equipment.

Really?

[Status update on "Black Sea"]

Perhaps they have not received modernized equipment yet because they will be the first to receive the next generation vehicles?

Yes they probably replace T-80U with "Armata" in 2016.

[Status update on "Black Sea"]

I also thought that Russians would be fielding some T-80s but maybe they are out ot the Russian active service?
