Tied Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 You guys wanna know how we used to do it in my day? Well each motor-rifle section has a strength of eleven. One man acts as assistant to the rocket launcher and is jokingly referred to as the missile transporter. He does indeed carry three rockets, in a satchel. Each of these has a warhead capable of penetrating the armor of any modern tank (the earlier warheads could probably go through an M-60 frontally no problem, and the newer rounds reguralery were issued such as the commonly know RPG-7v designations), booster and sustainer engines, a spin stabilizer, a turbine, a fin assembly and a tracer compound. His are not the only rockets in the section. Motor infantry is also equipped with anti-aircraft rockets with seeker heads, which enable them to distinguish hostile aircraft from friendly ones and to destroy them. In addition, the section has four 9-M-14 `Malyutka' rockets which have an automatic guidance system. All this in one infantry section. The section's BMP-1 combat vehicle has an automatic 73mm gun and three machine guns and has sufficient fire-power, maneuverability and protection to take on any modern light tank. The BMP-1's 'Malyutka-P' could still very easily kill a number of modern western MBTs. The section also has three radio sets, sensors for the detection of radioactivity and gas and other complex devices in addition to its ordinary infantry equipment. Even at the lowest level we find not a true infantry formation but a hybrid of tank, anti-tank, SAM, chemical, sapper and other sub-units. The infantry is the oldest of the arms of service. All the remainder originated later and were developed as additions or reinforcements to the infantry. From our examination of the infantry section we see that the modern infantry is an arm of service which, even at its lowest level, has absorbed elements of many others. The concept of the infantry, not as cannon fodder, but as the framework of the entire Armed Forces, the skeleton on which the whole of the remainder develops, has been held for a long time by Soviet generals. After the last war, all Soviet infantry officer training schools were renamed Officer Cadet Academies, and began to turn out, not run-of-the-mill platoon commanders, but commanders with a wide range of knowledge, able to organize cooperation between all arms of service in the battlefield, in order to ensure joint success. Probably the reason that today's officers are not called either infantry or motor-rifle commanders, but all-arms commanders.

Priory_of_Sion Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I just began reading When the United States Invaded Russia, and it had a brief summary of WWI. What I found interesting of note is that the myth of rifle-less Soviet soldiers in WWII does indeed come from WWI accounts, but those WWI accounts are from Russian generals who are shifting the blame away from themselves in order to explain their terrible defeats. Russia in WWI armed practically every soldier for the most part and had ~1000% increase in rifle production from 1914-17. So it is like a double-myth.

Donward Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 The US/Western intervention in Russia is indeed an odd and forgotten chapter in history. I'm wondering if the one rifle, two men myth might be a Soviet invention and pejorative to display how corrupt and inept the Czar's handling of the war was?

Like triple stack mag? It is hard to tell from that photo. Usual 5.45 and 7.62x39 mm mags have almost the same width Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
