BTR Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Since I've no access to Ukrainian info, I decided to drop them in the Marine doc. It felt like a waste to delete the whole part in the VDV section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Added comment to doc. Last I read, the MoD largely postponed the plans to expand VDV to beyond 2020. I believe the new regiment in Crimea is still being raised. http://tass.ru/en/defense/857623 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotte Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 17 hours ago, BTR said: Naval Infantry is a lot harder to research and is generally a lot more closed to public then the VDV. As such it is a "shorter" doc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VWUEsCDPnIrgek6-XWmg1bVv0T4xHah3Q8gumLCszUQ/edit?usp=sharing Much appriciated @BTR Excellent write ups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagler Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I do believe that the Ukrainians have reactivated older T-80BV back into service with their airborne too. http://www.janes.com/article/53010/ukraine-receives-first-modernised-t-80-mbts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each VDV brigade has a company of T-80BV Edited July 11, 2016 by Haiduk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
