How do you know the T-90AM will never be adopted by the Russian Army
T90AM would not be adopted b/c our MoD wants Armatas and not T90AMs
This.

September 2015 Victory Day
V day in russia are May 9th.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing a 2a82 armed version appear in a future module
The thing is this text about downgraded export version called T-90SM, not the russian one called T-90AM (which never will be adopted to the army btw)..
-
Or are all Russian military contracts 100% honest and effective?
Its simple - if some one produce bad gear he went to siberia.
US media
Not only US media. There were debates in UK and even Israel.
-
false story
Why this time you didnt call it propaganda?
I have this silly notion that Ukrainians and Georgians should decide for themselves to what degree they want to have relations to Russia.
But then they do, you call them terrorists.

For example, I own a Bulgarian Army "waterproof" uniform that is not. An ex government official was behind it. He was legally banned from making deals with the Bulgarian government. He covertly owned/operated two companies, one that made the uniforms and an "independent testing lab". He illegally brokered the deal for the uniforms, sent the defective uniforms to the government, the government sent it to his "independent testing lab", which (amazingly
) approved the uniforms, and then he got a lot of money.F-35

Russia have 2500 BM-21, 900 BM-27 and 106 BM-30.
Each brigade have MLRS troop plus russia have independent batters what can be added to any unit.
-
No one will ever try to stop 240mm rockets. But if MLRS will use ATACMS it will be intercepted even by tunguska.
How US plan to stop Russian MLRS hordes is the good question too.
-
I didn't see any tactical markings on the vehicles.
-
In terms of themobarics you're still looking at specialist weapons.

It can be given to any soldier just like all other disposable launchers.
-
T-72BM?
What is that?
-
some country sends ammunition, tanks, artillery and volunteers/vacationers to aid the ( for example ) Chechens in an armed uprising to gain independence from Russia, that would be ok ?
They allready did it in the 90s.
-
And that's ok ?
Ask Assad.

The XM-25 has entered combat use
As far as i know only for combat testing. Just like SCAR project.
11 ABCTs, 8 SBCTs, and 14 or so IBCTs
So only 1/3 will be M2s?
So at best parity in machine guns then?
In my mind 7,62 GPMGs are better then 5,56 LMGs.
APS
I dont realy think what US can field APS on big number of theyr tanks any soon.
The Javelin can punt out a missile to 2.5 KM and achieve catastrophic kill against ERA and APS equipped vehicles.
Newer Kornets fire 2 rockets at the same target. That is the harder way then top attack, but still it will work.
-
XM-25
I will discuss it only after it will be called M-25.
This is actually incorrect.
Most of the brigades are not using M2s. Am i wright?
and the allocation of designated marksmen systems
Most marksmans are just dudes with M4 with ACOG. MSV have at least 1 SVD in each platoon.
and light machineguns (true belt fed ones vs magazine fed) is significantly higher.
RPK-74 are not used by the russian army right now.
And even more some brigades have come to 2 PKMs in evry section.
In terms of transports, BTR and Strykers are both fairly similar in terms of practical performance
BTRs can float.
-
Voyska, maybe?
Yes.
MotoStrelkovie Voyska.
-
Well that's true in general, but Strykers have heavier armor, SLAT protection against RPGs, and an overall good record of surviving multiple RPG/HMG/IED strikes in Iraq.
I dont realy think what they can survive PG-7VR hit. Or even PG-7VL.
And yeah striker have better IED protection, i will not denie it.
Sure, but an ol' .50 cal with TI sights and good FC can still be more beneficial under many scenarios...
So i can say about 30mm. TIs are great, but you need them to spot targets, not for aiming.
APC/IFV and riflemen working together
BTR/BMP are part of the section. Section commander are the vehicles commander. They can not be splited.
current Russian doctrine calls
Its just said what section comander can do it if it will be usefull.
-
MSV, what that acronym stands for?
Motor-rifle troops.
Main component of the russian ground forces. Even more - we have MSV and support assets for the MSV.
-
What's the situation in US and RF basic motorized/mechanized infantry platoons with communication equipment?
For now section leader and senior gunner have the radios. When the Ratnik will show up MSV will have the same netcentric gear as the us army.
-
worse protection
They have the same.
ACs, RPGs and .50 will penetrate them bouth.
FC, optics
Here i will agree. But still 30mm AC is a huge boost.
Now as far as dismounted infantry aspect
There is no dismounted inf in MSV. Each BTR or BMP are part of the infantry section just like any other soldier in it.
while Russian MSV squads are made up of 6 men that split into a fire-support team (TL + RPG + MG) and an assault team (3 riflemen).
They never split coz russian section are smaller then US one. Sure some soldiers can be assignet to the some sort of task but they will not do it regulary.
US seems to exert more firepower in such breakdown...
As i said above MSV section will allways have support from BTR or BMP.
-
US better at shooting while RU better in suppresive fire and movement due to better APCs.
Most of US inf are ride in Strykers and HMMVEs. Most MSV use BTRs.
-
Do you have any infromation, have RF military organized or mobilized any motorized infantry brigades or other military units from Russian citizens in Crimean peninsula region?
Crimean conscripts serve in russian army just like evrybody else. We do not form brigades formed from ppl from only one region - in all or units serve coscripts from different regions.
-
Crimean self defence troops
They were formed before Crimea become part of russia and they are disbanded.
That's for russian citizens on russian federation soil.
Crimea is the russian soil too. And the ppl leve here are russian citizens.
I referred to the local volunteers from occupied territories
They are not part of doctrine. Russian troops will cooperate only with regular troops.
Allmost all of the armies over the history have had similar arrengements in occupied territories and I presume RF ain't going to make the difference.
Russian military doctrine aims for the fast mechanized offensive, paramilitary formations are simply too slow and had bad gear.
Russian armed forces have enough AKs and BTRs to form new MRBs if needed.
-
Just look at all the evidence.
Where did he get those pictures btw?
Actually, I do believe it does.
They are not part of our military doctrine.
When russia will start mobolisation all coscripts will go into carde brigades to fill them to full strength.
) approved the uniforms, and then he got a lot of money.

May i ask why did battlefront include export version of BMP-2 in russian army list too?
