T-34/85 mediums tanks were rushed into production in December 1943 in response to improved German designs such as the Panther. In addition to incorporating a more powerful main gun, the turret of the new T-34/85s finally accommodated three men instead of two, which removed the greatest operational deficiency of the design. Full radio equipment and a full vision copula for the commander were also specified. T-34/85s served in brigades mixed with 76.2mm T-34s as new tanks were rushed forward as quickly as possible, and requirements were satisfied by what was available. Guards units generally received preferential treatment, so were more likely to have the more powerful tanks at earlier stages of production.

The Russian T-54 tank is one of the most modified and widely produced contemporary tanks in history.  Still used today in dozens of countries, the T-54 earned its keep as a main battle tank through solid and low-profile design, full infrared vision for the entire crew, and an impressive main gun.  Probably the only drawback to this tank was its lack of ability to fire while at full speed; the tank had to be either firing at a short halt or from a dedicated defensive position.  Its thick body armor allowed for either circumstance, regardless.

This represents a 2 vehicle section of MT-LBs. The MT-LB is an amphibious armored tracked vehicle. It has a low-silhouette, box-like hull made of welded steel plates, and a small turret on the right front that mounts a single 7.62-mm machine gun. There are four firing ports: one on each side of the vehicle and one in each of the two rear exit doors. The flat hull roof has two forward-opening, troop exit hatches. The flat-track suspension consists of six road wheels with no return rollers. The hull of the MT-LB is all-welded steel with the crew compartment at the front, engine immediately behind the crew compartment on the left side and the troop compartment at the rear of the hull. The machine gun turret is mounted to the right of the commander's position and is armed with a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. Both the driver and machine gunner have a windscreen in front of their positions which, when in action, is covered by a flap hinged at the top. There is a vision block in each side of the hull, to the left of the driver's and the right of the machine gunner's position. An aisle provides access from the crew compartment at the front of the vehicle to the personnel compartment at the rear which has inward-facing folding canvas seats for the 10 infantrymen. Two hatches over the top of the troop compartment open forwards. The infantry enter and leave the vehicle by two doors in the rear of the hull, both of which are provided with a firing port. There is an additional firing port and vision block in each side of the troop compartment. An unditching beam is often carried on the roof or side of the vehicle. The MT-LB is fully amphibious being propelled in the water by its tracks. Standard equipment on all vehicles includes an NBC system. The MT-LB has air-actuated brakes which can be connected to a trailer. Night vision equipment includes an OU-3GK white/infra-red searchlight with a range of 400 m for the commander and a TVN-2 infra-red periscope for the driver with a range of 40 m. It can also tow a trailer or weapon weighing up to 6500 kg or carry up to 2000 kg of cargo or stores.

T-55A Medium Tank. This unit also represents the later modernised T-55AM. The T-55 has a fully tracked, five-road-wheeled chassis. The T-55 has a low-silhouetted hull with a dome shaped turret mounted over the third road wheel. It is armed with a 100-mm rifled gun, which has a bore evacuator at the muzzle. The T-55 also mounts a 7.62-mm coaxial machine-gun. Early versions also mounted a bow-mounted 7.62-mm machine-gun. The T-55 differs from the older T-54 models because it lacks the right-hand cupola and the turret dome ventilator, which is located in front of that cupola on the T-54. Most T-55’s also lack the turret-mounted 12.7-mm antiaircraft machine-gun of the T-54. All T-55’s mount an infrared gunner’s searchlight above, and to the right of the main gun. This searchlight, however, is not a distinguishing feature since it has been retrofitted to many T-54 and T-54A tanks. The T-55 combines a high velocity gun with a highly mobile chassis, a low silhouette, and exceptional long-range endurance. Improvements over the T-54 include a larger V-12 water-cooled diesel engine with 580 rather than 520 hp, and an increased cruising range of 500 rather than 400 kilometers (600 kilometers with auxiliary tanks). The increased cruising range can go up to 715 kilometers with two 200-liter auxiliary fuel tanks which can be carried on the rear. The T-55 has two-plane stabilization of the main gun rather than vertical stabilization only. It also has a basic load for the main gun of 43 rather than 34 rounds. The T-55 can ford depths of 1.4 meters without preparation. It has snorkel equipment which enables it to cross depths of up to 5.5 meters at a speed of 2 kilometers per hour. This equipment takes about 30 minutes' preparation, but can be jettisoned immediately on leaving the water. All T-55’s have the PAZ radiation detection system; the T-55A also has an anti-radiation liner. Injecting vaporized diesel fuel onto the exhaust system can generate a dense smoke screen

The T-62 medium tank has a fully tracked, five road-wheeled chassis. The chassis has close spaces between the three front road wheels and large gaps separating the third, fourth and fifth road wheels. The drive sprocket is at the rear and the idler is at the front; there are no track return rollers. The rounded turret, mounted over the third road wheel, is more smoothly cast and more nearly egg-shaped than that of the T-54/55 series. The commander’s cupola on the left is cast with the turret. The loader’s hatch on the right is also farther forward. The 115-mm smoothbore main gun has a longer and thinner tube than the 100-mm main gun of the T-54/55. Its bore evacuator is about two-thirds of the way up the gun tube from the turret. There is also a 7.62mm coaxial mg. The T-62M also mounts a 12.7-mm antiaircraft DShK machine-gun at the loader’s hatch position. A gunner’s IR searchlight is mounted on the right, above the main gun. A smaller IR searchlight is mounted over on the commander’s cupola. The driver’s hatch is in front of the turret on the left side of the flat, low-silhouetted hull. Like the T-55, the T-62 has a 580-hp, V-12, water-cooled diesel engine. This engine gives the T-62 a cruising range of 280 kilometers cross-country; 450 kilometers on paved roads, with integral fuel cells; and 400 kilometers cross-country, or 650 kilometers on paved roads, with two 200-liter auxiliary fuel tanks. The tank also shares the snorkeling and smoke screen-generating capabilities of the T-54/55 series. It has the same PAZ radiation detection system as the T-55. Some T-62’s may have been retrofitted with full NBC collective protection systems (air filtration and overpressure). Most models have the same IR night sight and driving equipment and the same fire control equipment as the T-54/55. Some T-62s, however, have received a passive night sight. This replaces the gunner’s active IR sight. A laser rangefinder may now replace the stadiametric reticle rangefinder. The most significant improvement over the T-54/55 tanks, however, is the 115-mm smoothbore main gun. It fires hypervelocity, armor-piercing, fin-stabilized, discarding sabot (HVAPFSDS) round with a muzzle velocity of 1,615 meters per second. The penetrator flies in a very flat trajectory, and is extremely accurate out to 1600 meters. The normal 40-round basic load typically includes 12 HVAPFSDS, 6 HEAT, and 22 HE-Frag rounds. The T-62 also has an automatic shell ejector system. The recoil of the main gun activates this system, which ejects the spent shell casings through a port in the rear of the turret. The T-62 has the standard 7.62mm PKT coaxial machine-gun with a range of 1,000 meters. The T-62M also mounts a 12.7-mm antiaircraft DShK machine-gun. The DShK has a range of 1,500 meters against ground targets and a slant range of 1,000 meters against aircraft. The T-62A also has a stabilized main gun; it enables the gunner to track and fire on the move with improved accuracy.

These improvements include the Volna fire control system with the BV-62 computer, Meteor M1 gun stabilization package, TShSM-41U sight, KDT-2 laser rangefinder and 1K13 guidance sight package. This tank is equipped with the AT-12 Sheksna laser-guided antitank guided missile, which operates in much the same way as the AT-10 STABBER ATGM. This tank also includes the uprated V-55U engine, and the R-173 radio system. This vehicle is also usually fitted with the BDD appliqué armor package.

The T-64 retains the low silhouette of the T-54/55/62 series of tanks. The suspension consists of six small dual road wheels with the drive sprocket at the rear, idler at the front and four track-return rollers which support the inside of the double-pin track only. The first, second, fifth and sixth road wheel stations are provided with a hydraulic shock absorber. Over the top of the suspension, which slopes downward towards the rear, is a rail on which panels of additional armor can be attached. The driver’s hatch is centered at the top of a sharply sloped upper glacis. The glacis has four steel ribs and a v-shaped water and debris deflector. Integrated fuel cells and stowage containers give a streamlined appearance to the fenders. The tank has a toothed shovel/dozer blade on the front of the hull beneath the glacis. There are attachment points beneath the blade for the KMT-6 mine-clearing plow. The low, rounded turret is centered on the hull. The commander’s cupola is on the right side of the turret; the gunner’s hatch is on the left side. The 125-mm main gun has a four section removable thermal shield. It has two sections in front of, and two sections to the rear of the mid-tube bore evacuator. A 7.62-mm coaxial machine-gun is mounted to the right of the mantlet. The infra-red searchlight is mounted on the left of the main armament. Two or three boxes of 12.7-mm ammunition are mounted on the left side of the turret. The snorkel is carried on the top of the turret at the rear and at the very rear of the turret is a detachable stowage box. The T-64 has two snorkels for deep fording; one is fitted to the turret and the other to the engine compartment. The T-64 has superior mobility than its predecessors. The 5-cylinder, opposed-piston, diesel engine has an output of 700 hp. The hull and turret are of cast and welded steel armor that incorporates a mixture of conventional steel and ceramic inserts called Combination K, with the ceramic inserts providing superior protection against HEAT attack. The sides of the hull and upper part of the suspension were provided with gill type armor panels which sprung outward during combat to reduce the effectiveness of HEAT projectiles. The T-64 is armed with the 125-mm 2A26 smoothbore gun with a vertical ammunition stowage system, and automatic loader. The incorporation of an automatic loader allowed for a three-man crew. The 125-mm gun is stabilized in both elevation and traverse with the ordnance being fitted with a thermal sleeve and fume extractor. The main armament can be laid and fired while the T-64 is moving across country and the commander can override the gunner if required. The 125-mm gun is stabilized, but does not have the same firing on the move capability as Western MBT such as the M1 or Leopard 2. The 125-mm gun has a sighted range out to 4000 m using the day sight and 800 m using the night sight. Maximum effective range of the 125-mm smoothbore gun of the T-64B is 2000 meters, firing the following types of ammunition: APFSDS, HE-FRAG, HEAT, and a Beehive anti-personnel round. The 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine gun has electric elevation with manual controls being provided for emergency use. The 12.7-mm antiaircraft machine-gun of the T-64 can be aimed and fired from within the tank. It has the PAZ radiation detection system, an anti-radiation liner, and a collective NBC filtration and overpressure system.

T-64B This was a major redesign of the T-64A to incorporate a new hull and turret armor that was not as bulky as the first generation Combination K armor on the T-64A, but at the same time offering the same or better protection. The T-64B has a laser rangefinder for improved first round hit probability, explosive reactive armor and strengthened turret hatch protection. There are at least two versions of the T-64B. New construction T-64Bs that appear to lack the usual forward gunner's sight and rebuilt T-64Bs, which are modifications of earlier T-64s. The T-64B's 125-mm ordnance also fires the AT-8 Songster ATGM, which is kept in the automatic loader in two separate parts like standard APFSDS or HEAT-FS rounds and loaded using the automatic loader. A T-64B normally carries six AT-8 Songsters plus 36 rounds (projectile and charge) of 125-mm ammunition.

T-64BV This is the correct designation for the T-64B fitted with explosive reactive armor. The T-64BV has a different explosive reactive armor package from the T-80. The former has about 111 blocks; the latter has between 185 and 221 blocks. On the T-64BV the reactive armor covers the glacis plate, the forward part of the turret front, sides and roof and hull sides extending to the five road wheels. When fitted with explosive reactive armor, the smoke dischargers are moved from either side of the main armament to either side of the turret rear, roughly in line with the fourth and fifth road wheels.

The T-72 Main Battle tank. The suspension consists of six large, die-cast, rubber-coated road wheels with the drive sprocket at the rear, idler at the front and three track-return rollers that support the inside of the track only. Shock absorbers are fitted at the first, second and sixth road wheel stations. The track of the T-72 is of the single pin type with rubber. Over the top of the suspension, which slopes downward towards the rear, is a rail on which panels of additional armor can be attached. There is an engine exhaust on the left side of the hull above the last road wheel. The glacis is well sloped, transversely ribbed and has a deep V splash-board. Integrated fuel cells and stowage containers give a streamlined appearance to the fenders. The low, rounded turret is centered on the hull. The commander’s cupola is on the right side of the turret; the gunner’s hatch is on the left side. The 125-mm main gun has a four section removable thermal shield. It has two sections in front of, and two sections to the rear of the mid-tube bore evacuator. A 7.62-mm coaxial machine-gun is mounted to the right of the mantlet. The T-72 mounts an infra-red searchlight on the right side of the main armament rather than the left as in the case of the earlier T-64. There are two light steel stowage boxes mounted on the turret, one at the rear and the other on the right slightly behind the commander's position. The snorkel is carried on the left side of the turret to the rear. The T-72 normally carries an unditching beam at the rear and there is also provision for carrying two 200 liter fuel drums at the rear to increase operational range. These can be quickly jettisoned if required by the tactical situation. The T-72 is powered by a V-12 piston multi-fuel air-cooled engine that develops 840 hp. The engine will run on three fuels: Diesel, Benzene or Kerosene. The turret has conventional cast armor with a maximum thickness of 280-mm, the nose is about 80-mm thick and the glacis is of a new laminate armor 200-mm thick, which when inclined gives between 500/600-mm of protection. Later production T-72s do however incorporate advanced armor protection in their turrets. Main armament is a 125-mm (2A46) smoothbore gun fitted with a light alloy thermal sleeve and a bore evacuator. The 125-mm gun is stabilized in both planes. The gun fires three main types of separate loading ammunition, APFSDS, HEAT-FS, and HE-FRAG(FS). Using the gunner's quadrant, the T-72 can fire HE-Frag rounds in the indirect mode out to 9400 m. Of 39 rounds of ammunition carried, 12 are APFSDS-T, 21 HE-FRAG(FS) and the remaining six HEAT-FS. The ammunition is of the separate loading type with a consumable cartridge case; all that remains of the latter after firing is a stub. The additional rounds of ammunition are stowed in racks behind the turret basket and in indentations in the rear floor fuel cell and second forward right cell near the driver. The carousel automatic loader is mounted on the turret floor and on the rear wall of the turret. The projectile is loaded in the lower half of a carrier, the cartridge and propellant in the upper half. The carousel carries 24 ready use projectiles. A 7.62mm PKT machine gun is mounted coaxially to the right of the main armament and has 250 rounds of ready use ammunition. A 12.7 mm NSV machine gun is mounted on the commander's cupola. The 12.7-mm machine gun can, however, only be used with the commander exposing the upper part of his body. Maximum sight range in the ground-to-ground role is 2000 m; maximum sight range in the anti-aircraft role is 1500 m. The T-72 mounts a dozer blade under the nose of the tank, to clear obstacles and prepare fire positions. Like most other former Soviet tanks, the T-72 can be fitted with mine-clearing equipment such as the KMT-5, KMT-6 and KMT-6 M2. The dozer blade can be brought into the operating position in one or two minutes and enables the tank to prepare its own defilade position without calling on engineer support. The T-72 is provided with an NBC system and can be fitted with a snorkel for deep fording. The tank takes about 20 minutes to prepare for amphibious use and is ready for action within two minutes of leaving the water.

The T-80 retains the low silhouette of the earlier FSU tanks. The suspension consists of six forged steel-aluminum rubber-tired road wheels, drive sprocket at the rear, idler at the front, and five return road wheels. The rubber-tired road wheels are in two halves that are bolted together. The road wheel spacing is not identical and there are distinct gaps between the second and third, fourth and fifth, and fifth and sixth road wheels. The side skirt covers the return rollers. The rubber-bushed, double-pin track has rubber track pads and U-shaped track guides. The T-80 has a distinct oblong exhaust outlet in the hull rear. The driver’s hatch is centered at the top of a sharply sloped upper glacis. Integrated fuel cells and stowage containers give a streamlined appearance to the fenders. The tank has a toothed shovel/dozer blade on the front of the hull beneath the glacis. There are attachment points beneath the blade for the KMT-6 mine-clearing plow. The low, rounded turret is centered on the hull. The commander’s cupola is on the right side of the turret; the gunner’s hatch is on the left side. The 125-mm main gun has a four section removable thermal shield. It has two sections in front of, and two sections to the rear of the mid-tube bore evacuator. A 7.62-mm coaxial machine-gun is mounted to the right of the mantlet. The infra-red searchlight is mounted on the right of the main armament. Banks of electrically operated smoke dischargers are mounted either side of the 125-mm gun/missile launcher, normally five on the left and four on the right. The T-80 has a GTD-1000 gas-turbine engine developing 1100 hp coupled to a manual transmission with five forward and one reverse gears. This is the first former Soviet operational tank to be powered by a gas-turhorns. The glacis plate is of the laminate type for improved protection against kinetic energy and HEAT attack and there is a dozer blade under the nose of the vehicle. The turret is steel with an inner layer of special armor; the gunner sits on the left and the tank commander on the right. The T-80 MBT uses the same 125-mm gun and horizontal ammunition system as the T-72 whereas the T-64 uses a 125-mm 2A26 gun with vertical ammunition stowage. The fire control system is an improvement over that fitted to earlier former Soviet tanks. This tank can fire either the AT-8 Songster ATGM or four types of separate loading ammunition, e.g., projectile and semi-combustible cartridge case. These four rounds are HE-FRAG (FS), HEAT-FS, APFSDS-T and Flechette. A total of six AT-8 Songster ATGMs are carried and these are identical to those launched by the T-64B MBT deployed some years ago. A 7.62-mm PKT machine gun is mounted coaxially to the right of the main armament and a 12.7-mm NSV machine gun is mounted on the commander's cupola. To extend the operational range of the T-80, additional fuel tanks can be mounted at the hull rear. These can be quickly jettisoned if required. Standard equipment includes snorkels for deep fording operations that are carried on the turret rear when not required, an overpressure type NBC protection system, night vision equipment for all three crew members, unditching beam carried across the hull rear and a laser warning device activated by laser rangefinders, laser designators or precision-guided munitions fitted with a laser guidance device. Mounted on the turret rear is a large circular container that carries two snorkels. The larger one is the snorkel for the gas-turbine, with another one being fitted onto the radiator grill by means of two adapters. This provides an air intake for the gas-turbine.

T-80U This was first observed in 1989 and is referred to by NATO as the SMT (Soviet Medium Tank) M1989. The new turret has an improved frontal armor package with second generation explosive reactive armor. This version is also equipped to fire the 9K120 Svir (NATO designationAT-11 Sniper laser-guided anti-tank missile in place of the older Kobra. Although based on the chassis of the T-80B it has many improvements including the replacement of the gas turbine engine by a more fuel efficient and more powerful turbine engine (GTD-1250, developing 1250 hp), different engine decking, new commander's cupola with 12.7-mm NVS machine gun now capable of being fired from within the turret under remote-control in a similar manner to the earlier T-64, a bank of four 81-mm electrically operated smoke dischargers either side of the turret firing to the frontal arc (902B Tucha), smaller snorkel kept on rear of turret when not required, the commander's sight appears to be new and may well incorporate an image intensification channel as there is no infra-red searchlight on the commander's cupola. The turret roof between the commander's and gunner's hatches has been provided with additional protection against top attack weapons and a collar of rubber skirts hangs from the turret front. Mounted on the roof forward of the tank commander's cupola is the laser designation system which projects a modulated beam; the system is protected by a rectangular armored box cover. The T-80U has full length side skirts but those above the first three road wheels are armored and are provided with lifting handles. There are also rubber elements fitted beneath the front glacis which provide additional protection against mines with tilt-rod fuses and HEAT warheads. The forward skirt elements are armored and a radiation absorption liner coats the armor inside and outside. Protection for the driver, particularly against mine explosions, is enhanced by suspending the driver’s seat from the hull roof. A special camouflage paint distorts the tank’s appearance in the visible and IR wavebands.

The IS-3 Heavy Tank embodied a redesign of the IS-2 turret and hull front. Some sources claim that a few saw action around Berlin in the closing weeks of the war, while other sources deny it. Undeniable, however, was the shock it gave Western observers when first shown publicly during the Allies' victory parade in Berlin in September 1945. About 350 were built prior to the end of the war.

This represents a 2 vehicle section of MT-LBs. The MT-LB is an amphibious armored tracked vehicle. It has a low-silhouette, box-like hull made of welded steel plates, and a small turret on the right front that mounts a single 7.62-mm machine gun. There are four firing ports: one on each side of the vehicle and one in each of the two rear exit doors. The flat hull roof has two forward-opening, troop exit hatches. The flat-track suspension consists of six road wheels with no return rollers. The hull of the MT-LB is all-welded steel with the crew compartment at the front, engine immediately behind the crew compartment on the left side and the troop compartment at the rear of the hull. The machine gun turret is mounted to the right of the commander's position and is armed with a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. Both the driver and machine gunner have a windscreen in front of their positions which, when in action, is covered by a flap hinged at the top. There is a vision block in each side of the hull, to the left of the driver's and the right of the machine gunner's position. An aisle provides access from the crew compartment at the front of the vehicle to the personnel compartment at the rear which has inward-facing folding canvas seats for the 10 infantrymen. Two hatches over the top of the troop compartment open forwards. The infantry enter and leave the vehicle by two doors in the rear of the hull, both of which are provided with a firing port. There is an additional firing port and vision block in each side of the troop compartment. An unditching beam is often carried on the roof or side of the vehicle. The MT-LB is fully amphibious being propelled in the water by its tracks. Standard equipment on all vehicles includes an NBC system. The MT-LB has air-actuated brakes which can be connected to a trailer. Night vision equipment includes an OU-3GK white/infra-red searchlight with a range of 400 m for the commander and a TVN-2 infra-red periscope for the driver with a range of 40 m. It can also tow a trailer or weapon weighing up to 6500 kg or carry up to 2000 kg of cargo or stores.

ISU-152 heavy assault guns entered service in March 1944 alongside the ISU-122, and were identical to them except for the fitting of the 152mm gun-howitzer in place of the longer 122mm gun. Very effective in the support of tank formations, the ISU-152s, like the earlier SU-152s and SU-122s, were issued to independent mechanized gun regiments. The success of these regiments led to the formation of Guards Mechanized Heavy Artillery Brigades in December 1944.

The 120-mm 2S9 Anona (Anemone) self-propelled howitzer/mortar was first seen in public in May 1985 and it is an airborne artillery assault vehicle that has been developed to carry out two tactical functions: conventional artillery equipment to replace existing mortars and howitzers and as a direct fire anti-tank weapon system firing HEAT projectiles. The 2S9 has a crew of four; commander, driver/mechanic, gunner and loader. The 2S9 hull is a stretched version of the BMD airborne combat vehicle and is divided into three compartments; the command compartment, the fighting compartment and the engine compartment. The two-man turret is located in the middle of the hull and is of welded steel construction with 16-mm thick frontal armor. The turret roof has two hatches, one for the gunner and the other for the loader. The track is the same as that used on the BMD airborne combat vehicle and the suspension is hydro-pneumatic with an adjustable ground clearance of between 100 and 450-mm. The ground clearance is adjustable by the driver/mechanic from within the vehicle. There are six road wheels each side and five track-return rollers. The 2S9 is armed with a 120-mm breech-loaded mortar (2A60) with a barrel approximately 1.8-m long. The mortar is probably provided with an interrupted-screw breech mechanism and a chamber detent to retain a round in place when the barrel is elevated. Ammunition is fixed and loading is manual, although ramming is automatic. The 120-mm mortar has a rate of fire of 6 to 8 rds/min. In the indirect fire role the mortar fires high explosive, white phosphorous and smoke rounds. Mounted below the turret rear is an ammunition loading hatch and mounted on top of the hull is a device for loading ammunition from the ground directly into the fighting compartment. This allows sustained fire missions to be carried out whilst still retaining onboard ammunition supply. The 2S9 takes 30 seconds to come into action and a similar time to come out of action. When in the firing position the suspension is raised to provide a more stable firing platform. Standard equipment includes an NBC system, night vision equipment and an electric bilge pump. The 2S9 is amphibious and is powered in the water by two water-jets at the rear. Power can be delivered to the water-jets and the track at the same time. When in the water, splash vanes can be erected in front of the driver's position. For air transport the 2S9 can be carried by any former Soviet Military Air Transport (VTA) medium or heavy cargo aircraft. It can be para-dropped from the An-32 `Cline', Il-76 `Candid' or An-22 `Cock' aircraft using the PRSM-915 heavy drop system, from heights between 300 and 1500 m

The all-welded steel hull of the 2S1 is divided into three compartments: driver's at the front on the left, engine to the right of the driver and the turret at the rear. The welded turret, which does not overhang the side of the hull, has a well-sloped front and sides with the commander seated on the left, gunner in front of and below the commander and the loader on the right. The indirect sight is mounted in the roof of the turret, forward of the commander's cupola with the direct sight being mounted to the left of the main armament. A long stowage box is often mounted on the left side of the turret and there is a large door in the rear of the hull, hinged on the left side. The rear door has a single firing port in the center. The suspension system is similar to the MT-LB multi-purpose tracked vehicle's and consists of seven road wheels with the drive sprocket at the front, idler at the rear, but no track-return rollers. An unusual feature of the 2S1 is that the suspension can be adjusted to give different heights, which is of particular use when the vehicle is being transported by tactical transport aircraft. The 2S1's main armament, designated the 2A31, is a modified version of the 122-mm D-30 towed howitzer. The ordnance is fitted with a fume extractor and muzzle brake and is held in position when traveling via a lock on the hull glacis plate which is operated by remote-control by the driver. A power rammer and extractor are fitted to the folding guard rail to enable a higher rate of fire to be achieved and to permit loading at any angle of elevation. A maximum sustained rate of fire of 5-8 rds/min can be obtained with a sustained rate of fire of 70 rounds for the first hour and, of the 40 122-mm projectiles normally carried, 32 are HE, six smoke and two HEAT-FS. Of the 40 rounds of 122-mm ammunition carried, 16 are in standby stowage on the left and right of the sidewalls. When in action, ammunition would normally be used from outside the 2S1 system and fed to the crew inside via a ramp. One of the two ammunition members outside the vehicle is connected to the vehicle intercom and would fuse the projectiles before they are passed into the vehicle. The remaining 24 projectiles and charges are stowed near the loader's position with the empty cartridge cases being ejected outside the turret. The HE projectile has a maximum range of 15300-m. Other ammunition types available include leaflet, HE/RAP (range of 21900 m), armor piercing high explosive, flechette, and chemical projectiles. Standard equipment includes infra-red night vision lights and an NBC system. It is fully amphibious, being propelled in the water by its tracks. Any water that enters the hull during amphibious operations is removed via the exhaust outlet using the bilge pump. Whilst afloat only 30 rounds (projectiles and charges) are carried.

The all-welded steel hull of the 2S3 is divided into three compartments; driver's at the front on the left, engine to the right of the driver and the turret at the rear. On the forward part of the glacis is a splash board to stop water rushing up the glacis plate when the vehicle is fording a stream. The air-inlet and air-outlet louvers are on the top of the hull with the exhaust outlet on the right side of the hull, just above the track guard. The large all-welded turret has a sloped front and well-sloped sides with a vision block in each side. The commander is seated on the left of the turret with the gunner forward and below him and the loader on the right. The commander has a cupola which can be traversed through a full 360° and a single piece hatch cover that opens to the rear. Mounted on the forward part of the hatch is a 7.62-mm machine gun which can be aimed and fired from inside the turret. There is an OU-3K infra-red/white searchlight mounted to the left of the machine gun. In the rear half of the hull is a total of 33 projectiles complete with fuses which are stowed in three horizontal layers. On the 2S3M/2S3M1 is a projectile carousel which holds an additional 12 projectiles in the vertical position. Stowed below the projectiles are 16 charges in two layers of eight with an additional eight being stowed near the loader's position and the remainder being stowed in brackets in the vehicle. An ammunition resupply hatch is provided in the right side of the turret and there is an oval hatch at the rear of the hull which opens downwards. Wherever possible, ammunition would be used from outside the 2S3 with the onboard ammunition supply being retained ready for immediate use. The two ammunition crew-members are in a 6 x 6 truck and on arriving at the fire position one of these plugs into the external connector of the 2S3's intercom system at the rear and listens into the firing commands. The prepared projectiles (complete with set fuse) and charge are then passed through the openings in the rear of the vehicle. The later 2S3M/2S3M1 has a single opening. Main armament Is a 152-mm weapon, designated the 2A33, which is based on the towed 152-mm D-20 gun/howitzer but with a bore evacuator added behind the muzzle brake. The barrel has a double-baffle muzzle brake, fume extractor and a gun barrel traveling lock. The normal projectile fired by the 2S3 is the HE-FRAG OF-540, which is fitted with an RGM-2 fuse, weighs 43.5 kg, contains 5.76 kg of TNT, and has a maximum muzzle velocity of 655 m/s and maximum range of 18500 m. Other types of projectiles fired include chemical, HEAT-FS (also referred to as HEAT-SS, with latter standing for spin stabilized), HE/RAP (high explosive rocket assisted projectile) with a range of 24000 m, AP-T, illuminating, smoke, 0.2 kT tactical nuclear, incendiary, flechette, scatterable mines (anti-tank and anti-personnel) and semi-active laser. The gun has an elevation of +60°, a depression of -3° and turret traverse is a full 360°. The 2S3 has infra-red night vision equipment and an NBC system. It has no amphibious capability and normally carries an unditching beam at the rear of the hull.

The system consists of a chassis based on T-54 components but with much thinner armor, four rather than five road wheels and a large open-topped turret armed with twin 57 mm S-68 guns which have the same performance and use the same ammunition as the towed single S-60 anti-aircraft gun. The all-welded hull of the ZSU-57-2 is divided into three compartments: driver's at the front, fighting in the center and engine at the rear. The large turret has slightly sloping sides, well-curved corners and is fitted with external grab rails on either side. The torsion bar suspension consists of four dual rubber-tired road wheels with the drive sprocket at the rear, idler at the front but no return rollers. The first and last road wheel stations are provided with a hydraulic shock absorber. The all-steel track has steel pins that are not secured at the outer end and are free to travel towards the hull. A raised piece of metal welded to the hull just forward of the drive sprocket drives the track pins into position each time they pass. Main armament of the ZSU-57-2 consists of twin 57 mm S-68 cannon with an elevation of +85º, depression of -5º, and 360º turret traverse. Elevation, depression and turret traverse are powered, with manual controls available for emergency use. The ammunition, in clips of five rounds, is fed to the magazines each side of the weapon by a loader seated in the forward part of each side of the turret. The right-hand gun is modified to be loaded from the right so as to avoid loading problems. The guns are fully automatic, recoil-operated, and each gun has a cyclic rate of fire of 105 to 120 rds/min with a practical rate of fire of 70 rds/gun/min. Maximum horizontal range is 12000 m, maximum vertical range 8000 m, although effective ranges are less than this. Effective slant range is 3993 m, effective altitude limit with weapons elevated at +45º is 2835 m and effective altitude limit with weapons elevated at +65º is 4237 m. Fire control for the ZSU-57-2 is achieved by an optical mechanical computing reflex sight. The weapons can fire the following types of fixed ammunition: FRAG-T and APC-T. The empty cartridge cases and clips are deposited on a conveyor belt which runs under the weapons. This takes the cases and clips to the rear of the turret where they are deposited in the wire cage mounted externally on the turret rear. A total of 300 rounds of ammunition are carried in clips of five rounds. Cyclic rate of fire is 120 rounds per barrel per minute. The ZSU-57-2 has no NBC system and no amphibious capability. Long-range fuel drums can be fitted to the rear of the hull to increase the operational range of the ZSU-57-2.

The ZSU-23-4 is a fully integrated, SP AA system with four liquid-cooled 23-mm automatic cannons mounted on the front of a large, flat, armored turret. The chassis has many components borrowed from other Soviet armored vehicles. The suspension system resembles that of the PT-76 and ASU-85; that is, it has six road wheels and no track support rollers. The driver sits in the left front of the hull; the rest of the crew (the commander, gunner, and radar operator) sit in the turret. The GUN DISH fire control radar mounted on the rear of the turret can fold down during travel. The ZSU-23-4 has the capability to both acquire and track low-flying aircraft targets, with an effective AA range of 2,500 meters. It also is capable of firing on the move because of its integrated radar/gun stabilization system. The high-frequency operation of the GUN DISH radar emits a very narrow beam that provides excellent aircraft tracking while being difficult to detect or evade. However, such a frequency also dictates a limited range; linking the system to other long-range acquisition radars in the area can compensate for this. The ZSU-23-4 can also engage lightly armored ground vehicles. The four guns are water-cooled and have a cyclic rate of fire of 800 to 1,000 rounds per minute each. However, the gunner normally fires them in bursts (2 to 3 rounds per barrel) to reduce ammunition expenditure and prolong barrel life. Each ZSU-23-4 carries about 2,000 rounds onboard. Supply trucks, which follow the ZSUs at a distance of 1.5 to 2.5 kilometers, carry an estimated additional 3,000 rounds for each of the four ZSUs. Electronic target acquisition, tracking, and ranging is automated; an onboard computer determines super elevation and azimuth lead. Conventional optical sights also are available. The onboard load normally mixes two types of ammunition at a ratio of three HEI-T rounds per one API-T round. An HEl round is also available. The HEI-T and HEl rounds are intended for defeating aircraft by blast, fragmentation, or incendiary effect. However, they may also be used against personnel in a ground role. The API-T round can penetrate lightly armored ground targets and aircraft and defeat them by an incendiary effect. Tracers facilitate correction of fire. The ZSU-23-4 is not amphibious, but has a fording capability of just over one meter. During river assault operations, the ZSU-23-4s would be ferried to the far bank immediately after the leading companies. The crew of the ZSU-23-4 receives a degree of protection from the thin armor (maximum thickness 9.4 millimeters in the hull, 8.9 millimeters in the turret). A radiation detection and warning system and an air filtration and overpressure system provide collective NBC protection.

The SA-8 GECKO is a single-stage, solid-fuel, short-range, low-altitude, all-weather SAM system. The TELAR (transporter erector launcher and radar) vehicle is a six-wheeled design designated BAZ-5937. The driver's compartment at the front of the vehicle has accommodation for two, the driver and commander, with access to it via a hatch in the roof. The engine is at the very rear. Four command-guided missiles are carried ready to launch, two either side. The main fire control radar is at the rear of a one-man gunner-radar operator position and folds back 90º to reduce the overall height of the vehicle for air transport and during high speed road travel. It is known that the radar operates in the H-band with a 360º traverse and has a maximum range of 35 km. The complete conical-scan radar installation of the GECKO has been assigned the NATO code name LAND ROLL. Each battery also has two missile transloaders based on the same chassis with a long coffin-like blunt pointed tarp roofed structure covering the cargo space and crane. When operating, the blunt point area is raised and the tarped structure is slid to the rear. A total of 18 reloads in boxed sets of three are transferred to the TELARs by the hydraulic crane mounted centrally behind the vehicle cab. In the Regiments Maintenance battery there is a single radar collimation vehicle using the same chassis. This has a collimation antenna which lies on both sides of the vehicle and overhangs the rear during transit. In operation it is raised and mounted on each side of the hull directly behind the cab. The SA-8a (GECKO Mod 0) high acceleration missile (Factory Index number 9M33) has a launch weight of about 130 kg. Maximum speed is Mach 2.4, minimum altitude is 25 m, maximum effective altitude 5000 m. The minimum range is 1500 m and the maximum range 12000 m. Against an F-4 Phantom target the warhead's lethal radius at low altitude is 5 m and is fitted with proximity and contact fuses. In 1980 a newer missile, the SA-8b or GECKO Mod 1, was introduced into service. Contained in a rectangular launch box it has improved guidance and speed characteristics to give an increased maximum range of 15000 m. The warhead weight of both missiles is 19 kg. The reloading time is five minutes. Combat deployment time is four minutes with system reaction 26 seconds. The surveillance radar of the LAND ROLL operates in the H band and has an effective range of around 30 kilometers against a typical target. The tracking radar is of the pulsed type and it operates in the J band with a range of 20 to 25 kilometers. The two I-band guidance radars make it possible to launch two missiles at the same target, each one responding to a different frequency to frustrate ECM. Mounted on top of each missile guidance radar is an LLLTV/optical assist system for target tracking in low visibility and heavy ECM. LAND ROLL is also known to have a short-range target acquisition capability. The vehicle is fully amphibious, being propelled in the water by two water jets at the rear of the hull. The vehicle is fitted with an air filtration and overpressure NBC system together with IR systems for the commander and driver.

The SA-9 GASKIN is a short-range, low-altitude SAM. The system consists of a BRDM-2 transporter erector launcher (TEL) chain-driven belly wheels removed and the normal turret replaced by one with four ready to launch SA-9 container-launcher boxes. These are normally lowered to the horizontal when traveling to reduce the overall height of the vehicle. The original version of the Strela-1 was known as the 9M31 (SA-9a, nickname GASKIN Mod 0) and used an uncooled first-generation lead sulfide (PbS) infra-red (IR) seeker operating. This was supplemented by the 9M31M variant (SA-9b, nickname GASKIN Mod 1) which has an improved seeker providing greater target sensitivity and lock on ability. The 30 kg Mach 1.5 missile is 1.8 m long, 0.12 m in diameter and has a wing span of 0.375 m. The minimum range of the 9M31 is 800 m and the maximum range 6500 m within altitude limits of 15 to 5200 m. The minimum range of the 9M31M is 560 m and the maximum range 8000 m (increasing to a possible 11000 m when used in a tail-chase engagement) within altitude limits of 10 to 6100 m. When engaging a head-on target the system has a considerably reduced range. The SA-9 is fitted with an HE-fragmentation warhead and proximity fuse with a lethal radius of 5 m and damage radius of 7.6 m. One SA-9 TEL (SA-9 Mod A, BRDM-2A1 or SA-9A TEL) in each battery has been fitted with Flat Box A passive radar detection antenna, one either side of the hull above the front wheel housings, one under the left launch canisters pointing forward and one mounted on a small frame above the rear engine deck plate pointing rearwards to give 360º coverage. The TEL with no Flat Box A system is known as the SA-9 Mod B, BRDM-2A2 or SA-9B. The vehicle crew of three consists of the commander, driver and gunner and there is an IR system for the first two to use at night. An air-filtration and overpressure NBC system is fitted as standard. In combat the missiles are usually sequentially fired (two per target) to increase the kill probability with a time between rounds of about five seconds. Reloading is performed manually and takes about five minutes to accomplish.

The SA-13 GOPHER is a short-range, low altitude SAM system. The SA-13 TELAR is a modified MT-LB amphibious armored tracked vehicle with the machine-gun turret removed. The launcher pedestal mounted to the rear of center of the vehicle is 360º traversable. It incorporates the operator’s position behind a large, rectangular window at its base. The SA-13 incorporates a range-only radar (HAT BOX) which provides the operator the target’s range to the system. There are two versions of the SA-13 transporter erector launcher and radar (TELAR) variant of the MT-LBu vehicle in service, designated TELAR-1 and TELAR-2. Appraisal of both does not show any significant structural differences but it is known that the TELAR-1 carries four FLAT BOX B passive radar detection antenna units, one on either corner of the vehicle's rear deck, one facing aft and one between the driver's vision ports at the front, whereas the TELAR-2 has none. The TELAR-1 is apparently used by the SA-13 battery commander. Known as the ZRK-BD Strela-10 system, the SA-13 missile (9M37) is 2.2 m long, 0.12 m in diameter with a 0.4 m wingspan and has a maximum speed of Mach 2. It carries a 5 kg HE warhead and is fitted with either an improved passive lead sulfide all-aspects infra-red seeker unit, or a cryogenically cooled passive all-aspects infra-red seeker unit. Normally the TELAR carries four ready to fire SA-13 missile container-launchers and eight reloads in the cargo compartment but it has also been seen on numerous occasions with either SA-9 GASKIN container-launcher boxes in their place or a mixture of the two. This enables the battlefield features of both missiles to be utilized to the full by allowing the cheaper SA-9 (Strela-1) to be used against the "easier" targets and the more expensive and sophisticated SA-13 (Strela-10) against the 'difficult' targets. The missile mix also allows a choice of infra-red (IR) seeker types on the missiles for use against extremely low altitude targets as well as in adverse weather conditions. The estimated minimum range of the SA-13 is 500 m and the maximum effective range of 5000 m with altitude engagement limits of 10 to 3500 m. Some vehicles have a pintle-mounted PKT 7.62 mm machine gun in front of the forward hatch for local protection. Other vehicles have been seen with additional support railings for the system on the rear deck. The HAT BOX circular parabolic radar antenna is located between the two pairs of missile canisters and is a simple range-only set to prevent wastage of missiles outside the effective range of the system.

The SA-2 (V-750) is a medium to high altitude surface-to-air missile system. It is a two-stage weapon with a large solid propellant booster stage fitted with four very large delta fins. The missile itself has a storable liquid fuel sustainer rocket motor which uses an inhibited red fuming nitric acid/kerosene fuel mix. Towards the mid-section is a set of four cropped delta-shaped wings with a second in-line set of small fixed fins at the nose and a third in-line set of slightly larger powered control fins at the tail. The warhead of the SA-2a/b/c/d/f weighs 195 kg (130 kg of which is HE) and is an HE internally grooved fragmentation type with proximity, contact and command type fusing available. The 295 kg nuclear warhead for the SA-2e variant is believed to have a yield of 15 kT. The conventional warhead weighs the same. The warhead of the SA-2a/b/c/e/f models is fitted forward of the main fins and behind the nose-mounted guidance assembly. Maximum blast radius against a high altitude target such as a U-2 is around 244 m due to the rarefied atmosphere. At medium to low levels against fighter sized targets the kill radius is about 65 m and the blast radius for severe damage is 100-120 m. The weapon has a CEP figure of 75 m with the large blast radius compensating for any system inaccuracies. The whole V-75 system, including the launcher, is designed to be simple and easy to operate with the minimum of specialized training. In practically all user countries the pattern of a battalion site is as follows: six semi-fixed trainable single rail launchers are deployed in a hexagon arrangement, about 60-100 m apart. They can either be dug into pits, left at ground level or hardened by being dug in and surrounded by concrete revetments. In the center of the launchers is the battery command post with the fire control team and its computer, the Fan Song missile control radar, the P-12 (NATO designation Spoon Rest-A truck-mounted or Spoon Rest-B) early warning radar and usually six reload rounds on their articulated trailers. The battalion's early warning and target acquisition Spoon Rest A-band radar has a range of 275 km using a large Yagi antenna array. At regimental HQ there is a fourth Spoon Rest, a van-mounted P-15 (NATO code name Flat Face) 250 km range C-band search and tracking radar with two elliptical parabolic reflectors and a PRV-11 (NATO code name Side Net) 180 km range E-band nodding height-finder radar mounted on a box-bodied trailer. There is also a radar control truck and a Mercury Grass truck-mounted command communications system for linking the HQ to the three battalions. Maximum radar range of the E-band Fan Song A/B/F models varies between 60-120 km depending upon target type, altitude and operating conditions. The G-band Fan Song D/E maximum range is extended to between 75-145 km under the same parameters. In some countries which only deploy early versions of the SA-2, the elderly ground-mounted P-8 Dolphin (NATO code name Knife Rest-A) or truck-mounted P-10 (NATO code name Knife Rest-B/C) radars may be used in lieu of Spoon Rest. They are A-band sets and have an operating range in the order of 150-200 km.

The SA-3 (S-125) GOA is a two-stage, solid-fuel, low to medium-altitude SAM. Two ready missiles travel in tandem on a modified truck or tracked vehicle from which the crew loads the missiles onto a ground-mounted, trainable launcher for firing. Both twin and quadruple launchers are in use. The SA-3 has a large 2.6 second burn jettisonable solid fuel Isayev OKB booster section fitted with rectangular fins that rotate through 90º at launch. The smaller missile body has an 18.7 second burn Isayev OKB solid fuel sustainer rocket and is fitted with four fixed fins aft and four movable control surfaces forward. After booster jettison the second stage is captured in the radar beam and guidance signals are sent via antenna on the rear fins to place the missile on an intercept trajectory. In the initial 1961 version, US designation SA-3a (NATO designation GOA Mod 0), guidance is by command throughout the flight, while in the definitive version introduced into service in 1964 and known by the US designation SA-3b (NATO designation GOA Mod 1), this has been improved. Long-range early warning and target acquisition is usually handled by a van-mounted P-15 (NATO designation FLAT FACE) radar. In many SA-3 battalions the P-15 has been replaced by the P-15M set (NATO designation SQUAT EYE) which has approximately the same performance but has had its antenna mounted on a 20-30 m mast to improve the low altitude coverage. A PRV-11 (NATO designation SIDE NET) 180 km range 32000 m altitude E-band height-finder radar is also used. All target data generated is passed onto the SA-3 battalion's organic trailer-mounted fire control radar known by the NATO designation LOW BLOW. Maximum acquisition range is 110 km and tracking range of the I-band system is between 40-85 km depending on the target size, altitude and operational conditions. It can track six aircraft simultaneously and guide one or two missiles at once. For operating in a heavy ECM environment, late production LOW BLOW radars have been fitted with 25 km range TV cameras to give the fire control team the same data as from the emitting radar and allow a command guidance interception only to be performed. If the missile fails to intercept, another signal is sent to either change the trajectory or self-destruct. The trainable launchers are ground-mounted but can be relocated. SA-3s are normally transported in pairs from battalion storage areas on modified ZIL-131 (6 x 6) or ZIL-157 (6 x 6) trucks and loaded onto the launchers with the aid of a conveyor. It takes only a minute to load the missiles onto the rails, but the duration between missile launches is about 50 minutes due to missile preparation, truck transit and other reloading procedures. The missile's ability to dive also allows it to be used against surface targets and naval vessels.

Each SA-4 TEL (Industrial Index designation 2P24) consists of a tracked armored chassis on top of which is mounted a hydraulically operated turntable carrying the two missiles. The engine is to the right of the driver with the remainder of the space in the vehicle taken up by the crew and electronics. There are hatches for the other crew members either side of the missile turntable. The torsion bar suspension consists of seven dual rubber-tired road wheels with the drive sprocket at the front and the idler at the rear, and four track return rollers. The vehicle has an air filtration and overpressure NBC system and an IR night vision system for the commander and driver but no amphibious capability. The launcher can be traversed by 360º with the missiles being elevated up to an angle of 45º on their launcher arms for launching. The missile is launched by four solid booster rockets mounted externally on the body. After launch the boosters burn for about 15 seconds and then fall away when the fueled ramjet kerosene sustainer motor ignition speed of over Mach 1 is attained at about 9 km from the TEL. The four fins are fixed and the four wings, in two pairs, are hydraulically operated. A typical target engagement is believed to take place as follows. The target is first detected at long range by a 150 km range and 30000 m maximum altitude Long Track early warning radar which is mounted on a lengthened version of the AT-T heavy artillery tractor with a large van body added and is also used for the SA-6 SAM. Long Track operates in the E-band and passes data to the SA-4 GANEF battery where the H-band Pat Hand continuous wave fire control and command guidance radar takes over. Height information is also provided by the 240 km range Thin Skin truck- or trailer-mounted height-finder radar which operates in the H-band. The Pat Hand radar is mounted on essentially the same chassis as the GANEF launcher with the whole assembly collapsed flat and a grill raised in front of the radar for road transit. This radar acquires the target at about 120-130 km and when it is within the 80-90 km tracking range a single missile is launched and guided to the target by the guidance beam with a semi-active terminal homing phase for the final stage. The missile is tracked in flight by a continuous wave radar transponder beacon attached to one of the tail fins. If required the Pat Hand can handle two missiles per target in order to increase the kill probability. The reserve missiles are carried on Ural-375 (6 x 6) trucks. Reloading the TEL takes between 10 and 15 minutes.

The SA-6 GAINFUL is a two-stage, solid-fuel, low-altitude SAM. It has radio-command guidance with semi-active radar terminal homing. The SA-6 TEL (Industrial Index designation 2P25) is all-welded with the crew compartment at the front, missiles on the turntable immediately behind the crew compartment and the engine at the rear. The engine and transmission are at the rear of the hull. The torsion bar suspension system consists of six rubber-tired road wheels with the drive sprocket at the rear and the idler at the front. There are no track return rollers. The SA-6 vehicle has an air filtration and overpressure NBC system and infra-red night vision equipment fitted as standard but the vehicle has no amphibious capability. Three SA-6 missiles are carried on a turntable which can be traversed through a full 360º with the missiles elevated on their launchers to a maximum of +85º. When traveling the turntable is normally traversed to the rear and the missiles are horizontal to reduce the overall height of the vehicle. It is estimated that the SA-6a (NATO designation GAINFUL Mod 0) missile has a length of 5.7 m, body diameter of 0.335 m, wing span of 1.245 m, tail span of 1.524 m and has a launch weight of 599 kg with a 56 kg HE-fragmentation warhead. The proximity and contact fuses are armed after some 50 m of flight. The basic SA-6a has a maximum effective range of 24000 m and a minimum effective range of 3000 m, the minimum engagement height is 100 m when using the STRAIGHT FLUSH fire control radar and 80 m when in the optical tracking mode, the maximum effective altitude is about 11000 m. Reload missiles are carried on modified ZIL-131 (6 x 6) trucks and are loaded manually onto the launcher by a crane carried on the rear of the loader vehicle. Reloading an TEL takes approximately 10 minutes. STRAIGHT FLUSH has a similar chassis to that of the SA-6 with a range of 55 to 75 km and a 10000 m altitude capability depending upon conditions and target size, and performs limited search, low altitude detection/acquisition, pulse Doppler IFF interrogation, target tracking and illumination, missile radar command guidance and secondary radar missile tracking functions. The vehicle also carries the fire control computers for the missile battery. Some modified STRAIGHT FLUSH vehicles have been observed with a TV camera of 30 km range to enable the battery to remain in action even if the vehicle's radars are jammed or forced to shut down because of the threat of anti-radiation missiles. STRAIGHT FLUSH can also be linked to the launch vehicles by either a radio data link or a 10 m long cable for direct data input to the launcher's systems. The data link antenna is carried on the right forward hull corner of the TEL. The upper foldable STRAIGHT FLUSH 28 km range dish antenna is of the conical scanning type and is used for low altitude H-band sector search scans, target tracking and target illumination. The lower parabolic antenna is of the G-band 55 to 75 km range medium altitude target acquisition and early warning radar type, with the lower feed for medium to high altitude coverage and the upper feed for low altitude coverage. The STRAIGHT FLUSH can begin target acquisition at its maximum range of 75 km, and begin tracking and illumination at the 28 km mark. The STRAIGHT FLUSH can only illuminate a single target and control three missiles at any one time so normal practice when a target track has been initiated is to normally order the launch of two and sometimes three weapons from one or more TELs. With radars up, reaction time from a dormant condition through the target acquisition, IFF interrogation and lock-on phases to missile launch is about three minutes. If the radar vehicle is already active then the time taken for the sequence is reduced to between 15 to 30 seconds. A battery is able to become mobile and relocate to an alternate firing position in approximately 15 minutes from systems being shutdown.

The BMD AIFV superficially resembles the BMP-1, although it is considerably smaller. This full-tracked amphibious vehicle has a BMP-type turret. Like the BMP-1, its main armament is a 73-mm smoothbore gun with a 7.62-mm coaxial machine gun mounted on the right side of the main gun and a Sagger ATGM launcher mounted over the gun. The BMD, however, also has two additional 7.62-mm machine guns, one mounted in each of the front bow corners. The troop compartment has overhead armor cover; however, it has only one firing port on each side and one in the rear from which the mounted infantrymen can fire their weapons. The BMD has an independent suspension consisting of five small road wheels with the idler at the front and the drive sprocket at the rear. There are four track-return rollers. The independent suspension combines a hydraulic system for altering the ground clearance and maintaining track tension with pneumatic springs, which enables the ground clearance to be altered from 100 to 450 mm. Main armament of the BMD-1 is a 73 mm model 2A28 smoothbore, low pressure, short-recoil gun. This is fed from an automatic 40-round magazine to the right rear of the gunner. The weapon fires a fixed fin-stabilized HEAT round which is the same as that used in the SPG-9 infantry weapon and has a maximum effective range of 1300 m. A 7.62 mm PKT machine gun is mounted coaxially to the right of the main armament and is fed from a continuous belt of 2000 rounds, honeycombed in an ammunition box mounted below the weapon. A cartridge case and link collector are mounted in the turret basket. Mounted over the main armament is a launcher rail for a SAGGER ATGM. Two missiles are carried inside the turret and are loaded via a loading rail through a hatch in the forward part of the turret roof. The bow machine gunner sits to the driver's right and aims the two bow-mounted 7.62-mm PKT machine guns. The two machine guns are mounted one either side of the vehicle's front firing forwards. The BMD is fully amphibious, being propelled in the water by two water-jets at the rear of the hull. Before entering the water a trim vane which is stowed on the glacis plate when not in use is erected at the front of the hull. The vehicle has electric and manual bilge pumps, a gyro-compass, engine pre-heater, smoke-generating equipment, NBC system and a centralized ethylene-bromide fire-extinguishing system as fitted to other former Soviet armored vehicles.

The BMD-3 is the successor to the BMD-1 and BMD-2 AIFVs. The BMD-3 features a brand new chassis fitted with the complete turret of the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle. The BMD-3 retains the boat-shaped hull with the two-man turret located in the forward third of the chassis. The BMD-3 has much better amphibious capability than its predecessors. There is more room inside the vehicle, a significant increase in firepower, with the two-man turret offering better overall command and control of the vehicle and its weaponry. The BMD-3 can be airdropped from transport aircraft with the complete crew of seven men remaining inside the vehicle. In the past, the crew was dropped separately, and it often took a considerable time for them to locate the vehicle. By dropping the BMD-3 with its crew ready in the vehicle, the element of surprise associated with airborne operations is enhanced. The BMD-3 is of all-welded construction which provides the crew with protection from small arms fire and shell splinters. The crew consists of commander, gunner, driver, and four infantrymen, with the commander normally dismounting with the squad. A further three infantrymen can be carried in an emergency in the rear. The two-man power operated turret is armed with a 30-mm 2A42 dual feed cannon which is fitted with a distinctive muzzle brake and is stabilized in both elevation and traverse. Maximum effective range when firing AP-T (armor piercing-tracer) ammunition is 2000-m, and when firing HE-I (High Explosive-Incendiary) ammunition is 4000-m against an area target. A 7.62-mm PKT machine-gun is mounted coaxially to the right. Mounted on the roof is an ATGM launcher for either the AT-4 Spigot or AT-5 Spandrel. Mounted on either side of the turret is a bank of three 81-mm electrically operated smoke dischargers firing forwards. Mounted at the front of the BMD-3 on the left side is an AG-17 30-mm automatic grenade launcher while on the right bow is a 5.45-mm RPKS machine-gun. Each of the bow weapons is operated by one of the infantrymen seated in the front of the BMD-3. The power pack is located at the rear of the hull and consists of a 2V-06 water-cooled diesel developing 450-bhp which gives a very high power-to-weight ratio of 34 hp/ton. The hydroneumatic suspension of the BMD-3 is adjustable to give a ground clearance of between 130-mm and 530-mm, although for normal road travel it is 450-mm. The BMD-3 is fully amphibious being propelled by two water jets mounted on either side at the rear of the vehicle.

The BTR-70 is a successor vehicle to the BTR-60PB. Both vehicles have the same turret armament. The BTR-70 is slightly longer in the hull. It also has a recognizable gap between its front set of road wheels and the rear set. Triangular-shaped access doors are in this lower hull space on both sides of the vehicle. They provide side entrance and exit for troops. (The BTR-60PB has only top hatches.) Also, the wave deflector attaches differently on the BTR-70 than on the BTR-60PB. The BTR-70 has two upgraded, 8-cylinder, 120-hp gasoline engines. The hull, which provides improved protection over the frontal arc as compared to the BTR-60, is of all welded-steel. Like the BTR-60PB and BRDM-2, the BTR-70 is has a small conical turret armed with a 14.5-mm KPT machine gun and a coaxial 7.62-mm PKT machinegun. The troop compartment can hold six infantry men, seated facing out and each is equiped with a firing port and vision block. The BTR-70 is equipped with an NBC protection system, a central-tire regulation system, and a fire detection/suppression system. Mounted at the front of the hull is a winch which has 50-m of cable and can pull 6000 kg. The BTR-70 is fully amphibious. It is propelled in the water by a single water-jet at the rear of the hull.

The BTR-80 is the successor to the BTR-70 and has several significant improvements over the earlier wheeled APCs. The BTR-80 retains the same, boat-shaped hull front, and sloped sides, although the rear deck has been reconfigured by raising the rear and squaring off the rearward-sloping engine compartment. The side-half doors of the BTR-70 have been replaced by full side doors, and the firing ports have been modified to face forward. The BTR-80 has a hull of all-welded steel armor construction. The twin gas engines of the BTR-70 have been replaced by a single, more-powerful diesel engine which give the BTR-80 better performance and lower the risk of fire. The turret, which is similar to that on the BTR-60PB and BTR-70, is armed with the 14.5mm KPV heavy machine gun and coaxial 7.62-mm PKT machine gun. This turret is improved in that it can be elevated to +60 degrees compared to the +30 degrees of earlier vehicles. The sighting system for the machineguns is improved as well. There are six 81-mm smoke mortars mounted on the rear of the turret which can be fired from inside the vehicle. The full side doors of the BTR-80 are positioned between the second and third axles of the vehicle. Each side door consists of an upper half which opens forward, and the lower half which opens down and forms a step ladder for troops entering or exiting. The upper half of the door is also fitted with a firing port. The crew of the BTR-80 consists of a commander, gunner and driver, and can carry seven infantry men. There are three forward-facing firing ports along the length of the hull, one at the front of the vehicle for the commander, and two in the roof hatches. The front two firing ports are designed for the 7.62-mm PK general purpose machine guns. The remaining firing ports are designed for AKMS/AK-74 individual weapons. The BTR-80 is fully amphibious and has a front-mounted winch, overpressure NBC system, night vision equipment and a central tire-pressure regulation system.

The MT-LB is an amphibious armored tracked vehicle. It has a low-silhouette, box-like hull made of welded steel plates, and a small turret on the right front that mounts a single 7.62-mm machine gun. There are four firing ports: one on each side of the vehicle and one in each of the two rear exit doors. The flat hull roof has two forward-opening, troop exit hatches. The flat-track suspension consists of six road wheels with no return rollers. The hull of the MT-LB is all-welded steel with the crew compartment at the front, engine immediately behind the crew compartment on the left side and the troop compartment at the rear of the hull. The machine gun turret is mounted to the right of the commander's position and is armed with a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. Both the driver and machine gunner have a windscreen in front of their positions which, when in action, is covered by a flap hinged at the top. There is a vision block in each side of the hull, to the left of the driver's and the right of the machine gunner's position. An aisle provides access from the crew compartment at the front of the vehicle to the personnel compartment at the rear which has inward-facing folding canvas seats for the 10 infantrymen. Two hatches over the top of the troop compartment open forwards. The infantry enter and leave the vehicle by two doors in the rear of the hull, both of which are provided with a firing port. There is an additional firing port and vision block in each side of the troop compartment. An unditching beam is often carried on the roof or side of the vehicle. The MT-LB is fully amphibious being propelled in the water by its tracks. Standard equipment on all vehicles includes an NBC system. The MT-LB has air-actuated brakes which can be connected to a trailer. Night vision equipment includes an OU-3GK white/infra-red searchlight with a range of 400 m for the commander and a TVN-2 infra-red periscope for the driver with a range of 40 m. It can also tow a trailer or weapon weighing up to 6500 kg or carry up to 2000 kg of cargo or stores.

The BMP-1 is a fully armored Amphibious Infantry Fighting Vehicle (AIFV). Its low-silhouetted hull has a sharp, sloping front with a conspicuously ridged surface. A centrally located, extremely flat, truncated cone turret mounts a 73-mm smoothbore gun and a 7.62-mm coaxial machine-gun. A launching rail for an AT-3 Sagger antitank guided missile attaches above the gun. The 290-hp, water-cooled, 6-cylinder diesel engine is in the right front of the hull. The driver's hatch is at the left front, directly in front of the commander's hatch, which mounts an IR searchlight. The gunner's hatch is on the left side of the low turret roof. On the rear of the turret are four large hatches in the roof of the troop compartment; two large exit doors are also in the rear. There are four firing ports in each side of the troop compartment and one in the left rear door. The suspension has six unevenly spaced stamped road wheels, with three track support rollers and a front drive sprocket. A combination of effective antitank firepower, high mobility, and adequate protection makes the BMP a formidable improvement over the earlier BTR series of armored personnel carriers. It's 73-mm main gun fires a rocket-assisted, fin-stabilized HEAT projectile with an effective range of 800 to 1000 meters. It also has an automatic loader. For longer range antitank capability, the BMP-1 carries the AT-3 SAGGER ATGM, effective to 3000 meters. The BMP is amphibious, propelled through the water by its tracks. It has the range and speed necessary to keep up with the fast-moving tanks it normally follows in offensive formations. The BMP has a three-man crew. This includes the vehicle commander, who becomes the squad leader when the infantry passengers dismount through the rear exit doors. Vision blocks and firing ports in the sides and rear of the troop compartment allow the infantrymen to fire personal weapons from inside the vehicle on the move. The troops also carry the RPG-7V or RPG-16 antitank grenade launcher, which can be fired by a passenger standing in a rear hatch. BMP IFVs carry the SA-7/14/16/18 and AGS-17 weapon systems in the BMP-equipped MRB's air defense and automatic grenade launcher platoons. When buttoned-up, the crew and passengers have NBC protection in the pressurized and filtered hull. This allows them to operate regardless of the outside environment. The BMP has an infrared searchlight, periscopes, and sights for night operations. It also has a capability to make its own smoke screen by injecting diesel fuel into the exhaust manifold.

The BMP-2 is an infantry combat vehicle vari-ant of the BMP-1 that incorporates a major arma-ment change. It has an enlarged two-man turret which mounts a 30-mm automatic gun, model 2A42, with a long, thin tube and a double-baffle muzzle brake, along with a 7.62-mm coaxial machine gun on its front. On top of the turret is an ATGM launcher. This launcher can employ either AT-4 Spigot or AT-5 Spandrel missiles. The AT-5 SPANDREL canister is normally seen mounted. The engine is an upgraded 300-hp, V-6 diesel. The vehicle commander now sits in the two-man turret, along with the gunner. Because of the enlarged turret, there is room for only two roof hatches in the rear fighting compartment, rather than the four of the BMP-1. The BMP-2 can accommodate one less passenger than the BMP-1; there also is one less firing port for an assault rifle on each side. However, a new machine-gun-type firing port on the left side of the hull, forward of the turret, indicates that an infantryman now occupies the BMP-1 vehicle commander's position. The torsion bar suspension either side consists of six road wheels with the drive sprocket at the front, idler at the rear and track-return rollers. The upper part of the track has a sheet metal cover deeper than that of the BMP-1 which is filled with a buoyancy aid. Main armament comprises a 30-mm cannon model 2A42. The gunner can select single shots or one of two automatic rates of fire, low at 200 to 300 rds/min or high at 500 rds/min. The 30-mm cannon has dual feed, one for HE-T and the other for AP-T; both with a muzzle velocity of 970 m/s. The 30-mm cannon is fully stabilized and has an effective range against ground targets of 1000 m although it is sighted to 4000 m. Its high elevation allows it to be used against aircraft and helicopters. A total of 500 rounds of 30-mm ammunition is carried. A 7.62-mm PKT machine gun is mounted to the left of the main armament and 2000 rounds are carried for this weapon. An infra-red searchlight is mounted coaxial to the right of the 30-mm cannon and the commander also has a roof-mounted infra-red searchlight model OU-3GA2. Mounted on the turret roof between the gunner's and commander's hatches is a launcher for either an AT-4 SPIGOT or AT-5 SPANDREL ATGM. A ground mount is carried to allow the ATGMs to be launched away from the vehicle. Most BMP-2s have a bank of three electrically operated 81-mm smoke dischargers firing forwards. The smoke grenade launcher system is designated the 902V. In addition, the BMP-2 can lay its own smoke-screen by injecting diesel fuel into the exhaust outlet on the right side of the hull. This system is called the TDA and can only be used when the engine is warm and the vehicle moving. To the turret rear is the infantry compartment which has only two roof hatches compared to the BMP-1's four. It carries six infantrymen who sit down either side of the vehicle back-to-back. In either side of the rear troop compartment are three firing ports; each of which has an associated roof-mounted periscope angled to the front of the vehicle. The infantry normally enter and leave the vehicle via the two doors in the hull rear. Each of these doors has an integral fuel tank and periscope in the upper part of the door. The left door also has a firing port. The engine and transmission are to the right of the driver's compartment with the air-inlet and air-outlet louvers on top of the hull. The BMP-2 is powered by a UTD-20 four-stroke, six-cylinder model UTD-20 supercharged diesel engine developing 285/300 hp at 2600 rpm. The engine is coupled to a manual transmission with five forward and one reverse gears. The BMP-2 is fully amphibious. Standard equipment on the BMP-2 includes a full range of night vision equipment for commander, gunner and driver, fire extinguishing system, GPK-59 gyro-compass system, PAZ overpressure NBC system, engine pre-heater and turret extractor fan.

The hull of the BMP-3 resembles the BMD Airborne Infantry Fighting Vehicle, and has a well sloped glacis plate with the hull sides being vertical. The new turret is in the center of the vehicle with the commander being seated on the right and the gunner on the left. There is an additional crew member to the left and right of the driver's position, each of these being provided with a roof hatch that opens forwards and a single periscope in the hull roof in front of the hatch cover. The troop compartment is at the rear of the hull with entry via two doors in the hull rear that open left and right, with the left door having a firing port. As these doors are opened steps automatically fold down. The armor of the BMP-3 is believed to be laminated aluminum, and its manufacturers claim it affords protection against 30-mm armor-piercing rounds over the 60-degree frontal arc. Over the frontal arc the turret is provided with a layer of spaced armor and mounted on either side of this is a bank of three 81 mm electrically operated smoke dischargers. Main armament of BMP-3 is a 100-mm rifled gun (2A70) which fires conventional high explosive ammunition at a maximum rate of fire of 8-10 rds/min, and the AT-10 Stabber laser-guided anti-tank guided missile. The AT-10 ATGM has a maximum range of 4000-m and is estimated as being able to penetrate a maximum of 500 mm of RHA. The 100-mm gun can also fire an HE-FRAG (high explosive fragmentation) round with a muzzle velocity of 250 m/s with a maximum effective range of 4000 m. A total of 30 rounds is carried for the 100 mm gun of which 22 are HE-FRAG and eight are laser-guided projectiles. The coaxially mounted belt-fed 30-mm automatic cannon is mounted to the right of the 100-mm gun. This automatic cannon fires three types of ammunition: armor piercing tracer, HE splinter, and splinter tracer. The gunner can select single shot, low rate of fire (200-300 rds/min) or high rate of fire (550 rds/min). Maximum effective range for engaging ground targets is 2000 m. The BMP-3 is powered by a 500 hp diesel engine coupled to a fully automatic hydro-mechanical transmission. The suspension either side consists of six dual rubber-tired road wheels with the idler at the front, drive sprocket at the rear and three track-return rollers. The suspension is adjustable by the driver to suit the type of terrain being crossed with minimum ground clearance being 190 mm and maximum ground clearance being 510 mm. The BMP-3 is fully amphibious being propelled in the water by two water-jets mounted at the rear of the hull. It is also provided with an NBC system, internal communications equipment, radios with a maximum range of 20 km and an IFF system.

The SA-11 GADFLY is a medium-range, semi-active, radar-guided missile using solid-rocket propulsion. The system provides defense against high-performance aircraft and cruise missiles. The SA-11 systems is comprised of the TELAR (9A310M1), Loader/Launcher (9A39M1), SNOW DRIFT Surveillance Radar (9S18M1), and Command and Control vehicle (9S470M1). The TELAR, which is based on the GM-569 tracked chassis, carries four ready to fire missiles on a turntable that can be traversed a full 360º and H/I-band FIRE DOME monopulse guidance and tracking radar. The associated tracked Surveillance Radar vehicle uses the same chassis and carries the early warning and acquisition radars (SNOW DRIFT) and provides the target's height, bearing and range data. The Loader/Launcher vehicle (LLV) resembles the normal TELAR, but lacks the FIRE DOME fire control radar which was replaced with a hydraulic crane for reloading 9M38 missiles. The SA-11 GADFLY system’s Command and Control vehicle works in conjunction with the SNOW DRIFT, which has a detection range of 85 km against high-flying targets, 35 km against targets at an altitude of 100 meters, and 23 km against targets flying nap-of-the-earth (NOE); it has a tracking range extending from 70 km for high-flying targets to 20 km for NOE targets. Tracking of helicopters hovering at 30 m can be made as far as 10 km. The SNOW DRIFT receives early warning from brigade-level surveillance radars such as the SPOON REST. Once a target is identified then it is turned over to an TELAR via a data link for tracking and attack. The FIRE DOME engagement radar has an effective guidance range of 3-32 km and an effective altitude envelope 15 meters to 22 km. It can engage approaching targets moving at a maximum of 3000 km/h (1860 mph). The radar can guide up to three missiles against a single target. The system also can be fitted with a supplementary electro-optical sighting system for use in cases where electronic jamming from the target aircraft overwhelms the usual semi-active radar homing system. In this case the missile uses radio-command guidance. The Mach 3 semi-active homing missile has a maximum slant range of 28 km and a minimum range of 3 km. It is capable of engaging targets between the altitude limits of 30 and 14000 m and can sustain 23 g maneuvers. The missile length is 5.6 m, diameter is 0.4 m and the wing span is 1.2 m. Launch weight is 650 kg and is fitted with a 70 kg HE warhead, which has a 17 meter kill zone. Propulsion is by a solid fuel rocket motor. The LLV can load itself in rear areas from the 9T229 transporter in 15 minutes, and then take those missiles to reload the TELAR in about 13 minutes. In the event the firing battery is saturated with targets, the LLV can launch missiles, though it requires radar guidance from a nearby TELAR. The SA-11 represents a considerable improvement over the earlier SA-6 GAINFUL system. The system is more mobile, taking only about 5 minutes to move from road march to engagement. The battery can engage six separate targets simultaneously, instead of only one by the SA-6. Moreover, the higher kill probability of kill means that the ready reserve of missiles will not be exhausted as quickly as with the SA-6. Russian sources claim a single missile kill probability of 60-90% against aircraft, 30-70% against helicopters, and 40% against cruise missiles. The configuration provides it with much greater resistance to ECM than older FSU SAM systems.

The 2S19 is based on a full tracked MBT chassis with the driver at the front, fully enclosed turret in the center and powerpack at the rear and in many respects is similar to the French 155-mm GCT self-propelled artillery system based on an AMX-30 MBT chassis. The hull and turret is of all-welded steel armor construction which provides protection from small arms fire, shell splinters and mines. The 2S19 self-propelled artillery system is based on the chassis of the T-80 MBT but with automotive components of the T-72 MBT as the 2S19 has a distinct exhaust outlet on the left side that is not on the T-80 which is powered by a gas-turbine engine. Mounted under the nose of the vehicle, in a similar manner to that of the T-72/T-80 MBT's, is a dozer blade that can be used to prepare fire positions or clear obstacles. The suspension is of the torsion bar type with six road wheels, idler at the front, drive sprocket at the rear and track-return rollers with the upper part of the track being covered by a skirt. The vehicle commander is seated on the right and operates the roof-mounted 12.7-mm machine gun that can be operated by remote-control and the searchlight. The 12.7-mm machine gun can be used to engage both ground and air targets. Mounted externally on the right side of the turret are boxes of 12.7-mm machine gun ammunition for ready use. Main armament comprises a long-barreled 152-mm gun fitted with a fume extractor and a muzzle brake. When the 2S19 is traveling the ordnance is held in position by a traveling lock mounted on the glacis plate. The 152-mm gun fires an HE-FRAG (high explosive fragmentation) projectile to a maximum range of 24700 m, although using an extended-range projectile its range is probably 36000 m. Other types of projectile can also be fired including illuminating, incendiary, smoke and tactical nuclear. Automation of the loading process enables a maximum rate of fire of 8 rds/min to be achieved using onboard ammunition and 6 to 7 rds/min using projectiles and charges from the ground. This selects and then places the fused projectile into the breech with the charges being loaded semi-automatically. In addition to selecting the projectile from the magazine, the automatic loading mechanism controls the number of rounds to be fired and has built-in test equipment. Laying in elevation is automatic with laying in traverse being semi-automatic. A total of 50 projectiles and charges is carried. Spades are not required on the 2S19 as it is very stable when in the firing position. If required the 2S19 can be reloaded through the turret rear while the system is firing. This enables the system to move off to its next fire position with a full load of ammunition on board. Three smoke dischargers are mounted either side of the turret. A 16 kW autonomous gas-turbine auxiliary power unit (APU) is provided in the turret and this provides power within 30 to 60 seconds of being switched on. This allows the system to be fully operational at temperatures ranging from -50 to +50°C with the main diesel engine being switched off to conserve fuel supplies. Standard equipment includes an NBC system and night vision equipment for the driver. The 2A65 can also fire the KRASNOPOL laser-guided anti-armor projectile.

BM-13 rocket launchers first saw combat in July 1941, and remained an effective ordnance delivery system for the remainder of the war. At first so secret that they were officially designated "Guards Mortars", BM-13s were more affectionately referred to by the Soviet forces as "Katyushas", or "Little Kate." The Germans called the BM rocket launchers "Stalin Organs" after the horrific scream the rockets made in flight, and feared them more than conventional artillery despite the fact that the rockets were rather less accurate. A single BM-13 salvo could drop 4.35 tonnes of explosives and rocket bits into a 10 acre area in a 7-l0 second burst. The standard mounting platform for the BM-13 was the BM-13-16, which featured 16 launching rails on a ZiS (or later an American Lend Lease Studebaker 2.5-ton) truck, although a number of other trucks and vehicles were utilized as requirements demanded.

The BM-21 is distinguishable from other MRLs by its square-cornered, 40-tube launching apparatus with 4 banks of 10 tubes. A protective canvas often covers the apparatus. The BM-21 is mounted on the Ural-375D 6 x 6 truck chassis, which has a distinctive fender design and a spare tire on the rear side of the cab. The BM-21 has no blast shields on the driver's cab. However, the material used in the cab windows and windscreen is strong enough to withstand the overpressure and other effects associated with the firing of 122-mm rockets. The BM-21's crew can fire it either from the cab or remotely from a distance of up to 60 meters when using a cable set. They can fire some or all rockets at a fixed 0.5-sec interval. They can fire single rockets manually at any desired interval. This five-man crew can reload the launcher in 8 to 10 minutes. The BM-21 fires a rocket with a range of 20,380 meters. Each launch tube is grooved to impart a slow rotary motion to the rocket. However, the rocket is primarily fin-stabilized. This combination of spin- and fin-stabilization ensures closely grouped fire at ranges of up to 16 kilometers. On explosion, the warhead produces a great fragmentation effect and shock wave. The warhead fill may be Frag-HE, chemical, incendiary, scatterable mines, or AP/AT bomblets. An advanced rocket has a maximum range of 30,000 meters. It takes the battalion 23/32 minutes to occupy fire positions (day/night) and 11/14 minutes to leave the fire position. The battalion will normally be found some 5000 m behind the FEBA during offensive and defensive operations. The launcher can be traversed through 180º and the bank of 40 launcher tubes elevated from 0 to +55º electrically or manually. The rockets can be launched singly at any desired time interval by manual means or in partial or complete salvo at a fixed 0.5 second time interval from within the cab or up to 60 m away from the cab with the aid of a remote-control unit connected to the vehicle by a cable. The rockets must be fired with the launcher parked obliquely to the target to prevent blast damage to the unshielded cab. Because of its high volume of fire and large area coverage, the BM-21 is well suited for use against troops in the open, for use in artillery preparations, and for delivery of chemical concentrations. One volley from a BM-21 battalion is 720 rounds. Because these weapons have a large circular error probable (CEP), they are not suited for attacks against point targets. The Ural-375D vehicle has a maximum road speed of 75 kilometers per hour. a cruising range of 750 kilometers, and an exceptional cross-country capability.

The 220-mm BM-27 Uragan (Hurricane, 16-round) MRL was introduced into service in 1977 and is sometimes referred to in the West as the M1977. The industrial designation for the BM-27 system is 9K57 and is mounted on a modified ZIL-135 (8 x 8) cross-country truck chassis designated the BAZ-135LM (industrial designation 9P140) which is fitted with a central tire pressure regulation system and has steering on the front and rear axles. Before the rockets are launched two stabilizers are lowered at the rear of the vehicle, one either side. The BM-27 provides chemical, high explosive and submunition supporting fire to maneuver units. The following rocket types are known to be used with the system: unitary HE, APAM bomblets (30 bomblets), AT mines (24 mines), and AP mines (312 mines). The launcher has a traverse of +-30º, maximum elevation of +55º and consists of one layer of four tubes and two layers of six tubes. A rapid reload capability is provided for by another ZIL-135 that carries 16 rockets arranged in two stacks positioned either side of the vehicle bed with a single round capacity reloading arm between them. For reloading the launcher is lowered to the horizontal and swung to one side, the new rockets being loaded with the aid of a rammer. Reloading time is estimated to take up to 20 minutes. Maximum rate of fire is one round every 0.5 seconds.

The Soviet Army was equipped with BM-24 after WWII. The BM-24 multiple launch rocket system fired the powerful M-24F 240mm rockets, each carrying 27,4 kg of the explosive. In addition to the M-24F, the system could also fire the M-24FUD, having the lighter 18,4 kg shell, but with a longer 10600m range. The MS-24 and MS-24D, loaded with P-35 poison-gas, were also available. The system had 12 launch tubes located on a rotary frame, disposed on a stub pole at the vehicle rear. The lining and turning mechanisms were hand driven. The cabin and fuel tanks were protected from rocket's exhaust by steel skin plates. Two jacks were set against the soil before shooting to discharge the back axles springs and to stabilize the platform. The 95 hp engine permitted the BM-24 to reach a speed 55km/h on the highway and to have a range of up to 600 km.

The ZSU-23-4M features large ammunition panniers, mounted on the turret sides, three (instead of two) access ports on each side of the hull and an armored cover for the guns. It also has a digital computer, an improved Gun Dish radar and can be linked to off-carriage radar and fire control equipment if required. The Gun Dish radar on the ZSU-23-4M is capable of being used independently in the search mode whereas on previous versions it had been slaved to the gun tubes. In 1985 a modified ZSU-23-4M was seen with protrusions on the right and left sides of the Gun Dish radar dome and vanes down its center. The vanes are side-lobe clutter-reducing devices and the protrusions are IFF receivers. The most significant changes in late production versions of the ZSU-23-4 have included a major change to the air cooling supply system as well as the radio and electronic systems of the vehicle. These changes have improved the overall reliability of the system. An improved ventilation system for the fighting and crew compartments has been installed.

The 2S6 Tunguska is a integrated air defense system armwed with 30-mm cannons and SA-19 surface to air missiles. The layout of the vehicle is conventional, with the driver seated at front left, the turret in the center and the engine and transmission at the rear. The driver has a single-piece hatch cover over his position and immediately in front of this are three periscopes. The turret has vertical sides with the commander's cupola being well forward on the right side. Suspension is of the hydro-pneumatic type with six equally spaced road wheels, drive sprocket at the rear, idler at the front and three track return rollers. When traveling, the suspension is lowered to provide maximum possible ground clearance, but when in the firing position it is raised and locked out to provide a more stable firing platform. The 2S6 is probably powered by a derivative of the V-59 diesel engine used on the 2S3/2P24/GMZ chassis although in this application the engine is supplemented by a 50 kW turbine system to allow it to operate with the main engine switched off. The cannon used in the 2S6 are much longer than those of the BMP-2 and are mounted in pairs with the right cannon having the appearance of being slightly to the rear of the left cannon and is provided with a muzzle velocity measuring system. Although the maximum vertical range of the weapons is probably around 5000 m, the maximum effective anti-aircraft range is around 3000 m. According to former Soviet sources, the 2S6 can engage targets flying at a maximum speed of 500 m/s with the complete system having a reaction time of eight seconds. Effective range of the complete system is from 0.2 to 8 km according to former Soviet sources. The SA-19 missiles are mounted four either side of the twin 30 mm cannon and have independent elevation indicating they are probably of the fire-and-forget type. However, it is equally possible that they are of SACLOS (semi-automatic command to line-of-sight) type with an IR terminal seeker. The SA-19 has an approximate range of 8 km and are kept in sealed containers and reloaded in clips of two missiles. The estimated length of the missile is 2 m and it has a launch weight of 30 kg, of which 8 kg is the high explosive warhead. Some sources have indicated that the missile could be semi-active laser guided, infra-red or command radar. The missiles are probably launched in pairs for increased kill probability. Protection is provided for the rear, sides and top of the missile canisters, this may be armored or more probably be made of sheet steel to avoid damage by trees and bushes. To the immediate rear of the launcher is a blast deflector. The weapons can be used when the vehicle is moving but greater accuracy would be obtained if stationary and the hydro-pneumatic suspension is locked out. The 2S6 has individual tracking and surveillance radars in a system called the Hot Shot by NATO. The surveillance and target acquisition radar being mounted on the turret roof at the rear, this folds down 90º to the turret rear when not required so reducing the overall height of the system and reducing possible damage from trees and other terrain obstacles. This radar has a maximum effective range of at least 18 km. Mounted on front of the turret is the fire control radar which tracks the target and has a range of between 8 and 10 km. On the left side of the turret roof are the optical sights which may have both day and night capability as well as being used in a heavy ECCM environment. There are at least two types of roof-mounted optical sights, the earlier system being somewhat similar to that of the older ZSU-23-4 system. The second arrangement is believed to be a new design and incorporates a day/night capability. One of the roof sights is probably used with the SA-19 SAMs. A laser rangefinder is probably incorporated as well, as the system presumably includes an IFF interrogator which interacts with the usual Khrom-Nikel (Odd Rods) IFF system found on Soviet combat aircraft. The turret has seats for three crew members.

The T-90 retains the low silhouette of the earlier FSU tanks. The suspension consists of six large, die-cast, rubber-coated road wheels with the drive sprocket at the rear, idler at the front and three track-return rollers that support the inside of the track only. Shock absorbers are fitted at the first, second and sixth road wheel stations. There are side skirts that extend along the entire side of the tank. The front third of this skirt consists of armored panels, whereas the rear two-thirds consist only of rubberized panels. There is an engine exhaust on the left side of the hull above the last road wheel. The glacis is well sloped, and is covered by second generation ERA bricks and a large transverse rib that extends horizontally across the glacis. The driver sits at the front of the hull and has a single piece hatch cover that opens to the right, in front of which is a single wide-angle observation periscope. Integrated fuel cells and stowage containers give a streamlined appearance to the fenders. The tank has a toothed shovel/dozer blade on the front of the hull beneath the glacis. There are attachment points beneath the blade for the KMT-6 mine-clearing plow. The low, rounded turret is centered on the hull. The commander’s cupola is on the right side of the turret; the gunner’s hatch is on the left side. The 125-mm main gun has a four section removable thermal shield. It has two sections in front of, and two sections to the rear of the mid-tube bore evacuator. A 7.62-mm coaxial machine-gun is mounted to the right of the mantlet. The T-90 mounts two infra-red searchlights on either side of the main armament; these are part of the Shtora ATGM defense system. The turret is covered with second generation reactive armor on the frontal arc. This ERA gives the turret an angled appearance, with the ERA bricks forming a "clam shell" appearance. There are ERA bricks on the turret roof to provide protection from top-attack weapons. There are banks of smoke mortars on either side of the turret, The T-90 is powered by the Model 84 V-84 diesel engine, which produces 840 hp. This results in a power to weight ratio of only 18.06 hp/ton, which is considerably less than that of the T-80. The second generation ERA package, combined with the advanced armor technology, makes the T-90 one of the best protected main battle tanks in the world. This high level of protection is supplanted with the TShU-1-7 IR-Jamming system, which is designed to disrupt the guidance of incoming ATGMs. This system consists of two infrared lights, one on each side of the main gun, which continuously emit coded pulsed infrared jamming when an incoming ATGM has been detected. The T-90 is also equipped with a laser warning package that warns the tank crew when it is being lased. The T-90 retains the 125-mm 2A46-series main gun of the T-72 and T-80, and is capable of firing the AT-11 Sniper laser-guided ATGM. The AT-11, which can penetrate 700-mm of RHAe out to 4000 meters, gives the T-90 the ability to engage other MBTs, vehicle ATGMs, and even most helicopters before they can engage the T-90. The computerized fire control system and laser range-finder, coupled with the new gunner’s thermal sight permit the T-90 to engage targets while on the move and at night. Detailed information on the Agave gunner’s thermal sight is not yet available, but this is probably a first generation system and not as capable as current Western systems.

BMD-2 Airborne Combat Vehicle This vehicle is the BMD-1 with its turret replaced with a new one-man turret. This turret is of a new design with the gunner being seated on the left and provided with a single piece circular hatch cover that opens to the front. In front of this is the gunner's day/night sight that appears to be identical to that fitted on the BMP-2. Additional periscopes give observation to the sides and a white light searchlight is mounted on the forward part of the turret roof. On the left side of the turret is another sight that moves in elevation with the 30 mm 2A42 cannon and this is believed to be the high angle of fire sight which is used to aim the weapon when it is being used in the anti-aircraft/anti-helicopter role. A total of 300 rounds of 30 mm and 2940 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition is carried. Main armament comprises a 30 mm 2A42 stabilized cannon with a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun mounted coaxial to the right with a launcher for an AT-4 Spigot (maximum range 2000 m) or an AT-5 Spandrel (maximum range 4000 m) ATGM mounted on the right side of the turret roof. While the BMD-1 has two bow-mounted 7.62 mm PKT machine guns, one in either side, the BMD-2 has only one 7.62 mm bow-mounted machine gun on the right side with the machine gun port in the left side being eliminated.

The Hrizantema missile system is mounted on a BMP-3 ICV chassis and it is designated 9P157-2. This tank destroyer retained the amphibious capability of the BMP-3 and has an NBC protection system and a front-mounted self-entrenching retractable blade. The firing ports in the rear troop compartment were removed, as well as the standard BMP-3 turret, which was replaced by a twin missile launcher. The two-man crew consists of a driver and system operator and they are both seated in the front of the vehicle under full armor protection, ensuring high combat survivability. The twin missile launcher in the ready-to-launch position holds two missile containers, each with a 9M123 Hrizantema ATGM. When they are launched, it is lowered into the hull and automatically reloaded by an automatic loading system which holds 15 additional missile containers. When they are spent, the loader is reloaded from the right side by an onboard loading device. A missile test equipment is also included with the Hrizantema ATGM system.

T-80BV This is essentially the T-80B fitted with first generation explosive reactive armor. When fitted with its explosive reactive armor package, the T-80 is virtually immune over its frontal arc to penetration from all current NATO ATGMs which rely on a HEAT warhead to penetrate armor. With the explosive reactive armor fitted the smoke grenade launchers are moved from either side of the main armament back to either side of the turret and positioned between the turret side and the explosive reactive panels On the turret of the T-80, the panels are joined to form a shallow chevron pointing. Explosive reactive armor is also fitted to the forward part of the turret roof to provide protection against top attack weapons The explosive reactive armor package on the T-80 provides a high degree of protection against ATGMs such as MILAN, HOT, TOW and SWINGFIRE over the frontal arc. It does not provide any added protection against APDS or APFSDS attack. When the HEAT projectile reaches the MBT its high speed jet initiates the explosive between the two plates and drives the plates aside. These moving plates perturb and eat the mass of the incoming jet. The jet is then unable to achieve any significant penetration of the main tank armor

The Russian-built T-62A was a tank designed to add more firepower on top of the successful T-54 model.  The result was a main gun with increased range and a greater variety of ammunition types.  Though its combat record was questionable, as a main battle tank it was still a force to be reckoned with, particularly in consideration of its large main gun with a range of about 1600 meters.  Among its most notable appearances is the 1973 Yom Kippur War. This is the T-62M version with added composite armour.

The Mil-17 Hip H. The MI-17 is a multirole helicopter used to resupply CLF guerrillas or insert PSOC detachments. It can also be very heavily armed with an extensive array or rockets, misslies and guns. It is often used to air assault infantry forces to attack the point of penetration, reinforce units in contact or disrupt counterattacks. Additional missions include; attack, direct air support, electronic warfare, airborne early warning, medevac, search and rescue, and minelaying. The Mi-17 helicopter, developed at the Mil Design Bureau from the Mi-8 helicopter, is in serial manufactured at the Kazan Helicopter Production Association. The designation Mi-17 is for export; the Russian armed forces called it Mi-8MT. The Mi-17 can be recognized because it has the tail rotor at the starboard side, instead of the port side. The Mi-17 added a number of improvements to its predecessor, including a vibration damper to increase comfort for crew members and passengers. The helicopter features a high thrust-to-weight ratio pair of TVZ-117MT or TVZ-117VM shaft-turbine engines with a takeoff power of 1,900 hp. The Mi-17 is capable of single-engine flight in the event of loss of power by one engine (depending on aircraft mission weight) because of an engine load sharing system. If one engine fails, the other engine’s output is automatically increased to allow continued flight.

LCAC Aist Landing Craft Air Cushion. The Aist is the Soviet Navy’s first large military hovercraft. Unlike the experimental ACVs currently undergoing trials for the US Navy, it is not designed to be accommodated in the docking wells of larger landing ships, but is intended for independent high speed assault operation over relatively short distances. Such a craft would clearly be extremely useful in the Baltic, where it would be invaluable in overcoming defensive minefields laid by the Danish and Federal German navies to protect their respective coastlines. The Aist is powered by two marinised gas turbines, each rated at 12-14,000hp. The turbines drive four propeller units, giving a maximum speed estimated at 65kt. A continuous tank deck with ramps at either end can accommodate two MBTs (T-62 or T-72) or five PT-76 amphibious tanks. A reduction in the number of vehicles enables up to 150 troops to be carried. Above the vehicle hangar is a navigating bridge with good all round vision and a lattice mast carrying tbe navigational radar. Twin 30mm mountings are fitted side by side at the forward end of the hangar, and the Drum Tilt FC director is installed atop the bridge. As well as providing anti craft defence, the guns can be used for the suppression of shore defences.

LCAC Pomornik Landing Craft Air Cushion. The Zubr Air Cushion Landing Craft is built by the Almaz Shipbuilding Joint Stock Company in Saint Petersburg. Ten Zubr class ships, which are sometimes referred to by the NATO codename Pomornik, have been built since 1986. The ship is fitted with light armour plating to provide a degree of protection to the crew and the troops against ammunition and blast fragments. The Zubr can carry up to 130t of cargo: three medium battle tanks such as the T-80B tank, or eight BMP-2 infantry combat vehicles, or ten BTR-70 armoured personnel carriers, or 360 fully equipped amphibious landing troops. The ship has a bow and a stern ramp for fast landing of troops and combat material. The ship is equipped with two stabilised multiple rocket launchers, four Igla-1M portable air defence missile systems, and two AK-630 30mm automatic gun mounts. The AK-630 shipborne artillery system is supplied by the Ametist Design Bureau in Moscow, the Izumrud Joint Stock Company in Vladivostok, the Sporting and Hunting Guns Research and Design Bureau in Tula and the Tula Engineering Plant Joint Stock Company also based in Tula. The AK-630 artillery system provides defence against manned and unmanned air attack, including incoming sea- skimming anti-ship missiles, small sea targets, lightly armoured coastal targets and floating mines. The six-barrel automatic gun, model AO-18 has a firing rate of 5,000 rounds/min.

The GSP is built on two modified K-61 tracked amphibians, placed side by side and flanked by two large steel pontoons. The set actually consists of two self-contained, mirror-image half-ferries which resemble each other but are not interchangeable. In travel position, one pontoon is folded atop each amphibian. After launching, the pontoons are lowered on hinges to the outer sides of the amphibians and locked in place. The two half-ferries then are locked together and treadways are attached to the top of the decked pontoons and transversely across the gunwales of the amphibians. For loading and unloading, the ferry is equipped with a scissors-type ramp extending from the outer gunwales of both pontoons. The pontoons are filled with foam plastic to make them unsinkable. The GSP is organic to the engineer battalion of motorized rifle divisions (8 half-ferries) and tank divisions (12 half-ferries). It is also found in engineer brigades, pontoon bridge regiments and assault crossing battalions at ARMY and FRONT level. It is used primarily in support of tank, heavy artillery and missile units in assault river crossings. The self-propelled ferry is capable of carrying up to 50-metric tons of equipment(including medium and heavy tanks, self-propelled artillery and other tank-based equipment) at a water speed of up to 7.7 km/hr. Assembly time is 3 to 5 minutes. The bank can be no higher than 0.5-meters and the water depth no less than 1.2-meters at the point where the GSP places its ramps to load or unload. Otherwise the ferry can be damaged. The ferries cannot be joined together to form a floating bridge.

This unit represents the K-61 Amphibian as well as the PTS. The PTS-M is an unarmored, full-tracked transport vehicle. It strongly resembles the K-61, which it is replacing, but is substantially larger. Unlike the K-61, the PTS-M has a fully enclosed cab which is located farther forward than the open crew compartment of the K-61 and has two circular hatches in its roof. The large cargo bed has a removable canvas cover and seven supporting bows. A winch is mounted at the front of the cargo compartment. The large, triangular tailgate has two integral, hinged loading ramps. The torsion bar suspension consists of six large road wheels, with the drive sprocket at the front and the idler at the rear. It has neither support slides nor support rollers. The engine is located under the center of the cargo compartment with exhaust ports just above each side of the cargo compartment. The vehicle is propelled in the water by two 3-bladed propellers and is steered by two rudders at the rear of the hull. Standard equipment includes infrared night vision devices, an intercom, radios and a high-capacity bilge pump. The PKP wheeled amphibious trailer is often used with the PTS-M. The PKP is a boat-shaped two wheeled trailer with two small folding side pontoons for improving trim and increasing buoyancy. It has a foam plastic filled, watertight hull and treadways on its deck with recesses for the wheels of transported artillery pieces. The PTS-M is organic to the engineer battalion of the motorized rifle and tank divisions (12 amphibians in the amphibious platoon of the assault river crossing company) and the divisional maintenance battalion (1 amphibian). Three PKP trailers are also found in the amphibious platoon. Together, they are used primarily to transport artillery, air defense or logistical elements across water barriers. The PTS-M is capable of transporting 50 to 70 troops or cargo loads of 7,500 kg on land or 15,000 kg in water. It can be used to transport larger trucks such as the URAL-375D. Typical equipment loads are similar to those for the K-61, except that the PTS-M normally is used to carry trucks and other prime movers, while the PKP trailer is used for artillery pieces. The PKP has a load capacity of 5,000 kg. The PTS-M with the PKP trailer can transport an artillery piece, it's prime mover and it's crew in a single lift. The same task would require the use of two K-61s. For travel, the PKP can be transported in the cargo compartment of the PTS-M. The PTS-M can also be used as an ambulance, transporting 12 litters on special rack mounts. With a fully sealable cab, the PTS-M can operate under conditions of chemical or nuclear contamination.

This unit represents the various BAT/BTM/MDK/PKT dozers and ditch machines of the Red Army. The BAT has a cable-operated, two-section adjustable dozer blade mounted on an AT-T heavy artillery tractor. The BAT-M adds a hydraulic operating mechanism for the blade, and a rotary crane mounted on the bed of the vehicle. The BAT-M can move material with its blade at a rate of 200 to 250 cubic meters per hour. Its crane capacity is 2 metric tons. Its maximum road speed is 35 kilometers per hour, and its range is 500 kilometers. The BAT-M weighs 27.5 metric tons. Its two-man crew can place it into an operation in five to seven minutes. It has a filtration system and can operate in contaminated areas for short periods of time. Although it is an aging piece of equipment, the BAT-M is still found in engineer units at all echelons. However, the BAT-2 is currently replacing it.

The BM obr. 37 82mm was the standard medium mortar in Soviet rifle battalions. Reasonably light and effective, the weapon was initially crewed by five men, and could be transported by three. Later in the war, the crews were reduced by one or two men to conserve manpower. Later models (obr. 41 and obr. 43) had wheels so they could be moved without being disassembled.

The SPG-9 can also fire a 4-kg rocket-assisted HE round. The SPG-9 is man-portable, but a truck or APC normally carries it. It must be dismounted and placed on its tripod for firing. It normally has a crew of three. Both IR and passive night sights are available. The rocket-assisted HEAT projectile has an effective range of 1,000 meters and can penetrate 400 millimeters of armor. It has a high muzzle velocity which is increased to 700 meters per second by rocket assist.

PTP obr. 41 57mm anti-tank guns were about to enter Soviet service as Operation Barbarossa commenced in June 1941. Using the carriage of a ZIS-3 76mm field gun, the Model 1941 57mm ZIS-2 was nearly twice as heavy as earlier Soviet anti-tank guns, but with its heavier round and longer barrel, the 57mm was a far more capable weapon. In 1943, 57-41 anti-tank gun production was superseded by that of the PTP obr. 43, also of 57mm, which differed largely in using the tubular carriage of another version of the ZIS-3 76mm gun. The performance of the two guns were nearly identical. Both are represented by the PTP obr. 4l in the game.

The Germans referred to the ZIS-3 as the "Ratsch-Bum" or "crash-boom" because the sound of impact of the weapon's high velocity projectile followed the sound of its firing so closely. Both rifle and Guards Rifle divisions were equipped with this gun, to the number of 32 and 36, respectively. A crew of six could fire a ZIS-3 25 times/minute.

The 9K11 Malyutka (AT-3 SAGGER) is a wire-guided ATGM with a HEAT warhead. It has several launch configurations: man-pack, armored vehicle, and even helicopter. With the man-pack version, the operator carries the SAGGER missile in a fiberglass "suitcase." He attaches it by a hinged support to the lid of the case. From that position, he launches the missile by means of a firing button on the control box. He then uses the control box's periscope sight and control stick to guide the missile to the target.The SAGGER can engage targets at ranges of 500 to 3,000 meters and penetrate over 400 millimeters of armor. It employs an MCLOS guidance system in which the operator must observe both missile and target and guide the one towards the other. The wire-guided missile is invulnerable to electronic countermeasures and has a very small percentage of malfunctions.

Although the Model 39 was less bulky than its predecessor, it was slightly heavier, and more difficult to produce. Ballistics were little changed from those of the more primitive 76-36, and armor piercing shot was a standard issue. In 1941, the 76-39 was replaced by the superb ZIS-3, which had the same ballistics, but featured a simplified carriage which made the gun easier to handle and produce. Eventually the ZIS-3 would make up the bulk of Soviet light artillery. The 76-39 and ZIS-3 series are represented together in the game.

The 9K111 Fagot (AT-4 SPIGOT) is a tube-launched, wire-guided, SACLOS, ATGM system, similar in many respects to the US TOW system. The AT-4 system consists of three major components: the SPIGOT missile, the launch tube, and the missile launcher. The tripod-mounted launcher for ground-launched employment has a periscope sight attached to its left side. The sight and the missile tracker comprise a single unit, which is mechanically attached to the launch-tube connecting rail so both move together in elevation. The crew loads the SPIGOT missile by sliding the tube onto the launch supports from the rear until the electrical contacts and a mechanical catch engage; then the system is ready for launch. The SPIGOT has a minimum range of only 70 meters and a maximum range of 2000-2500 meters. There are two types of missile, SPIGOT-A and SPIGOT-B, the latter having an improved sustainer motor which increases the maximum range from 2000 m to 2500 m and an improved warhead which increases the penetration from 400 mm to 460 mm. The AT-4 tracker is adequate, simple, and in-expensive. Its extremely narrow field of view makes it more difficult to decoy, since the decoy source must be inside the field of view. 


P02116
The SA-7 GRAIL (Strela-2) is a man-portable, shoulder-fired, low-altitude SAM system similar to the US Army’s REDEYE. The missile had a HE warhead and passive infrared homing guidance. The system comprises the missile (9K32 & 9K32M), a reloadable gripstock (9P54 & 9P54M), and a thermal battery (9B17). There are two versions: the SA-7a (9K32) and SA-7b (9K32M). The SA-7a (Strela-2) was introduced for service in 1968, but was quickly replaced by the SA-7b (Strela-2M) which became the most common production model. The SA-7a has a slant range of 3.6 km and a kill zone between 15 and 1500 meters in altitude. Its speed is about 430 meters per second (Mach 1.4). The SA-7b, differs from the SA-7a primarily by using a boosted propellant charge to increase range and speed. This gives the SA-7b a slant range of about 4.2 km, a ceiling of about 2300 meters, and a speed of about 500 meters per second (Mach 1.75). Both the SA-7a and SA-7b are tail-chase missile systems, and its effectiveness depends on its ability to lock onto the heat source of targets, usually low-flying fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. Although the SA-7 is limited in range, speed, and altitude, it forces enemy pilots to fly above minimum radar limitations which results in detection and vulnerability to regimental and divisional air defense systems. An identification friend or foe (IFF) system can be fitted to the operator’s helmet.

The SA-18 GROUSE (Igla 9K38) is a further development from the SA-7 & SA-14 series of manportable SAMs. The SA-18 resembles the earlier SA-14 in many details such as the use of a similar thermal battery/gas bottle. However the missile itself an entirely new design with substantially improved range and speed. Like the SA-14, the SA-18 has a 2 kg. high-explosive warhead. However, the new seeker and aerodynamic improvements extend its effective range and its higher speed enables it to be used against faster targets. The 9M39 missile of the SA-18 employs an IR guidance system using proportional convergence logic. The new seeker offers better protection against electro-optical jammers; the probability of kill against an unprotected fighter is estimated at 30-48%, and the use of IRCM jammers only degrades this to 24-30%. The 2 kg. warhead is fitted with a contact and grazing fuse. The SA-18 has a maximum range of 5200 meters and a maximum altitude of 3500 meters.

The SA-14 GREMLIN (Strela--3 9K34) is the successor to the SA-7/SA-7b (Strela-2 9K32 and Strela-2M 9K32M). This system is comprised of the 9P59 gripstock, 9P51 thermal battery/gas reservoir, and 9M36-1 missile. The SA-14 has an external appearance very similar to that of the SA-7. In fact the gripstock, launch canister and aft missile body are almost identical. The most significant differences are the new seeker system and the substitution of a ball-shaped 9P51 thermal battery and gas reservoir for the old canister shaped battery found on the SA-7. The new nitrogen-cooled lead sulfide seeker of the SA-14 allows it to home in on the exhaust plume of jet engines, turboprop and helicopter gas turbine engines. The enhanced seeker allowed the SA-14 to be fired against a target from much broader angles, as well as defeating certain countermeasure techniques such as exhaust shrouds. In addition, optical filtration was added to the seeker to reduce vulnerability to typical IRCM flares. Because of the small warhead size of the SA-7, the warhead of the SA-14 was nearly doubled in weight. To prevent the heavier warhead from degrading missile performance, the guidance electronics were reduced in weight and a new solid-propellant motor was fitted so that aerodynamic performance was actually increased. The SA-14 has a maximum range of 4500 meters, and a maximum altitude of 3000 meters.

In 1937, the 122-31 was replaced by the 122mm 1931/37, which used the carriage of the Model 1937 gun-howitzer, and differed from the earlier gun only in detail. The Model 1931/37 could be towed by either horse or motorized transport, and required 8-10 minutes to unlimber and prepare for firing.

The RPG-7V is a recoilless, shoulder-fired, muzzle-loaded, reloadable, antitank grenade launcher. It fires an 85-mm (PG-7) or 70-mm (PG-7M) rocket-assisted HEAT grenade from a 40-mm smoothbore launcher tube. The launcher has two hand grips; a large optical sight; a thick, wooden heat guard around the middle; and a large, flared blast shield at the rear of the tube. The RPG-7V is light enough to be carried and fired by one person. However, an assistant grenadier normally deploys to the left of the gunner to protect him with small arms fire. The grenadier normally carries two rounds of ammunition, and the assistant grenadier carries three rounds. The internal rocket motor of the PG-7/7M grenade ignites after traveling approximately 11 meters; this gives the projectile higher velocity (sustained out to 500 meters), flatter trajectory, and better accuracy. Further enhancing accuracy are four large, knife-like fins at the rear of the projectile which unfold when the round leaves the tube, and smaller, offset fins at the very rear which produce a slow rotation. The maximum effective range is 500 meters for stationary targets and 300 meters for moving targets. Maximum range is 920 meters, at which point the projectile self-destructs approximately 4.5 seconds after launching. The PG-7/-7M grenade, with a shaped-charge warhead, has armor penetration of 330 millimeters. The current RPG-7V model can mount a telescope and both infrared and passive night sights. All RPG-7 models have optical sights which can be illuminated for night sighting. They have open sights for emergency use.

The 9K115 Metis (AT-7 SAXHORN) is a lightweight, man-portable, tube-launched, SACLOS, ATGM system with a wire command link. One man can carry and operate it, but its crew normally consists of two men. The gunner carries the 9P151 firing post and one missile, and the assistant gunner carries three additional 9M115 missile canisters. The SAXHORN missile, with a HEAT warhead, has a minimum range of 40 meters, and maximum range of 1,000 meters. The operator tracks the target visually using a monocular scope. The missile is guided automatically to the target on which the operator keeps the cross-hairs of his sight. The basic 9M115 missile has a unitary shaped-charge warhead and is capable of penetrating 460-mm of armor. The AT-7 can be fired from the shoulder as well as from the tripod but this requires a great deal more skill. It can be fired from an enclosed space, such as a building, although it requires at least 6 meters of clear space behind and an internal volume of 100 m3.

The AT-X-14 Kornet (the X designated that it is not yet in production) is a tripod mounted laser-beam riding antitank guided missile. The AT-X-14 is a laser beam riding missile with a semi-automatic command line of sight (SACLOS) guidance system. The Maximum range of the AT-X-14 is 5000 to 5500 meters. The minimum range is 100 meters. There are two types of warheads available for the AT-X-14, a tandem high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead, and a blast enhanced fuel-air-explosives (FAE) warhead. The HEAT warhead is claimed to be able to penetrate up to 1200-mm of RHAe protected by explosive reactive armor (ERA). FAE warheads are effective against not only buildings but also against troops in the open and various types of armored vehicles. While the FAE will not penetrate the armor, it will create a massive overpressure which will cause injury to the troops inside the vehicle. The basic system has a day sight but a thermal night sight has been developed which enables targets to be recognized at a range of up to 3500 meters depending on conditions. The thermal sight is clipped onto the right side of the launcher with the bottle at the rear.

Many of these guns saw service in the anti-tank role instead, as their low silhouette, powerful rounds, and relatively high rate of fire could pose a serious threat to even the heaviest German armored vehicles. This later version D-44 fires a very effective HEAT round.

The T-12 is a 100-mm smoothbore antitank gun mounted on a two-wheeled, split-trail carriage, with a single caster wheel near the trail ends. The long (8,484-mm) gun tube has a cylindrical, multi-perforated muzzle brake which is only fractionally larger in diameter than the thin barrel. The MT-12 variant has a winged shield angled to the rear on both sides and an additional recoil cylinder above the breech on the right. Both versions frequently mount infrared night sighting equipment. The T-12 and MT-12 fire fin-stabilized, non-rotating rounds similar to those of the 115-mm gun of the T-62 tank. Muzzle velocity is 900 meters per second for HE and HEAT rounds or 1,500 meters per second for HVAPFSDS rounds. Maximum indirect fire range is 8,200 meters (Frag-HE). The effective direct fire range is approximately 1,000 meters (HEAT) or 2,000 meters (HVAPFSDS). The HEAT round can penetrate about 400 millimeters of armor at any range. The HVAPFSDS round can penetrate about 225 millimeters at 1,000 meters. The theoretical rate of fire is reportedly 14 rounds per minute; however, rate for aimed fire is only 6 rounds per minute, and the maximum practical rate is 10 rounds per minute.

The D-30 has a unique three-trail carriage, a conspicuous box-like shield for the recoil-recuperator mechanism mounted above the tube, and a small protective shield which is fitted between the wheels. The gun has a semiautomatic, vertically sliding, wedge-type breechblock. A truck (Ural-375 or ZIL-131) or armored tractor can tow it at speeds up to 80 kilometers per hour. It is towed muzzle-first by a large lunette just under the muzzle brake, with its trails folded under the barrel. Early models of the D-30 had a multi-baffle muzzle brake; more recent models (D-30M) have a double-baffle muzzle brake similar to that used on the SP version 2S1. In firing position, the crew of eight unhitches the gun; it lowers the central emplacement jack, raising the wheels high enough to clear the trail legs; and it spreads the two outer trails 120 degrees on each side. The revolving mount permits 360 degrees traverse and is equipped for high and low angles of fire. This makes the D-30 fully suitable for antitank defense. The D-30 fires the following variable-charge, case-type, separate-loading ammunition: FRAG-HE, HEAT-FS. Other types of projectiles include chemical, illuminating (S-462 weighing 22.4 kg), smoke (D-462 weighing 22.3 kg), leaflet, flechette, incendiary and recently an RAP has been introduced with a maximum range of 21900 m. There are at least two chemical projectiles for the D-30. The Sarin projectile weighs 22.2 kg of which 1.3 kg comprises the Sarin CW. The 122 mm viscous Lewisite projectile weighs 23.1 kg of which 3.3 kg comprises the viscous Lewisite CW agent. In both cases the CW agent is dispersed by the explosion of a TNT bursting charge. The D-30 can also be equipped with a IR or passive night vision sights for direct fire.

The 240 mm M-240 mortar consists of a barrel with breech and breech-block frame, a frame with shock absorbers, the mount with training and equilibrating mechanisms, a two-wheel traveling carriage with the suspension, a boom for changing from the firing to the traveling configuration, a baseplate and a towing bar with a lunette. The sights are carried separately and are mounted on the mortar only when firing. The shock absorbers are used to protect the sights from firing vibrations and also provide the link between the ordnance and mount. It is also used when the mounting returns to the loading position after firing. The boom provides stability when firing and also has two winches to convert the mortar from the firing to the traveling configuration. The M-240 has a minimum range of 800 m and a maximum range of 9700 m with traverse limited to 18°. Elevation limits are from +45 to +65°. The sights, elevation and traverse gears are on the left-hand side of the barrel. The mortar is normally towed, at a maximum speed of 40 km/h, muzzle first by an AT-P, AT-L or AT-S tractor which also carries the crew of 11. Additional vehicles carry the ammunition and emplacing equipment. On arrival at the firing position, which has to be on firm ground, the mortar is uncoupled from the tractor and the towing lunette is removed. The large circular welded baseplate is lowered to the ground and packed with earth to provide a stable firing platform. The smoothbore barrel is 5.34 m long and for loading is swung into the horizontal position. At the lower end of the barrel is the breech-block and projectile guide. Bringing the M-240 into action takes at least 25 minutes, slightly less to move it after firing. Weight in action is approximately 4150 kg. The HE bomb weighs 130 kg of which 34 kg is payload. The bomb, which is almost 1.5 m long, is brought to the mortar on a two-wheeled trolley and a team of five is used for loading. Large tongs/gripping pincers are used to lift the bomb from the trolley onto the projectile guide with two men on each handle and the fifth steadying the fins. The bomb is then pushed into the barrel and the breech is closed. The barrel is then raised to the firing position. The rate of fire is about 1 rd/min.

The 130-mm field gun M-46 has a recognizable long, thin tube with a cylindrical, perforated (pepperpot-type) muzzle brake. It has a hydro-pneumatic recuperator and a recoil cylinder located above and below the tube, respectively. For travel, the crew withdraws the tube from battery to reduce the overall length of the weapon. The rearward- angled, winged shield may then hide the recuperator above the tube from sight. The gun has a manually operated horizontal sliding wedge breech-block. It fires case-type, variable-charge, separate-loading ammunition. It has night direct fire sights (IR and/or passive in nature). The gun is mounted on a two-wheeled split trail carriage with large sponge-filled rubber tires on each of the single wheels. For travel, it has a two-wheeled limber. A truck or armored tractor can tow it at speeds up to 50 kilometers per hour. The trails consist of steel plates welded into box-section construction. When traveling the barrel is withdrawn by a mechanism on the right trail from battery to the rear to reduce the overall length of the weapon. The carriage is of the split trail type and is provided with a two-wheeled limber. When traveling the spades are removed and carried on each of the two trails. The recoil system is mounted under the barrel, and in front of the shield, which has been removed on some models, is an inverted U-shaped collar. The M-46 has direct fire sights including an APN-3 active/passive night sight. The M-46 is an excellent indirect fire weapon with high muzzle velocity and exceptional range (27,490 meters). It is also a formidable antitank weapon with impressive armor penetration capability. Its tactical role usually is counter-battery. It fires case-type, variable-charge, separate-loading ammunition, including: FRAG-HE, APC-T. Other types of projectile include SP-46 illuminating weighing 25.8 kg with an m/v of 687 m/s and smoke target marking with an m/v of 930 m/s. An RAP is known to be in service having been used by Syria in the 1973 Middle East War. At least two chemical projectiles have been fielded for this weapon. The 130 mm Sarin projectile weighs 33.4 kg of which 1.6 kg comprises the Sarin CW agent which is dispersed by a TNT bursting charge. The other is a VX projectile weighing 33.4 kg of which 1.4 kg is the VX CW agent.

The D-20 uses the same carriage and recoil system as the 122 mm Field Gun D-74 which was also shown for the first time in 1955. The D-20 can be distinguished from the D-74 by a much shorter and fatter stepped barrel and a larger double-baffle muzzle brake. The shield has an irregular top with a sliding center section and the top of the shield can be folded down to reduce the overall height of the weapon. A circular firing pedestal fitted as standard on all D-20s is inverted and secured just forward of the shield when traveling. In the firing position the firing pedestal is lowered, allowing the weapon to be traversed quickly through a full 360°. On each of the split box-section trails is a castor wheel (on top) and a spade (underneath). It fires the following case-type, variable-charge, separate-loading ammunition: FRAG-HE, CP, AP-T. Other types of ammunition include chemical, HE/RAP (range of 24000 m), HEAT, illuminating (S-540), smoke (D-540) and tactical nuclear (0.2 kT). More recent ammunition types include HEAT-SS (spin-stabilized), flechette, scatterable mines (anti-tank and anti-personnel) and semi-active laser. The latter is called the KRASNOPOL by the former Soviet Union and is claimed to have a maximum range of 18 km. At least two types of chemical projectiles have been identified. One weighs 40 kg of which 2.8 kg comprises the Sarin CW agent which is dispersed by the TNT bursting charge. The 152 mm viscous Lewisite projectile weighs 42.5 kg of which 5.4 kg comprises the CW agent which is dispersed by the explosion of the TNT bursting charge.

This gun has a distinctive four-wheeled carriage, and has an armored shield that slopes to the rear and extends over the wheels. The 49 caliber barrel of the 2A36 is fitted with a multi-slotted muzzle brake weighing 141 kg with the recoil system consisting of a buffer and a recuperator which are mounted above the ordnance towards the rear. The horizontal sliding breech mechanism opens to the right automatically. The ordnance pivots on the cradle which is of cast and welded steel construction. Elevation and traverse is manual with the former being from -2° 30' to +57° with traverse being 25° left and right. The direct and indirect sights are mounted on the left side of the carriage as are the elevation and traverse mechanisms. Mounted below and to the rear of the breech is the load assist system which is referred to as a quick firing loading system by the former Soviets. This includes a hydraulic rammer operated from the hydro-pneumatic accumulator with controls being provided for ramming and return. A fused projectile is placed on the loading tray which is mounted to the right of the breech. When the breech is opened this slides to the left until it lines up with the breech. The projectile is then rammed into the ordnance, the loading tray then slides back to the right. Types of separate loading ammunition fired include high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) and armor-piercing tracer (AP-T). The former weighs 46 kg and has a maximum muzzle velocity, using the top charge, of about 800 m/s. Before loading the projectile the fusing mode is selected either for fragmentation or high explosive action. The cartridge cased charge is then located in a similar manner and when the breech is closed the rammer automatically returns to the side and the weapon is then ready to fire. The former Soviets quote a rate of fire of six rounds a minute for the 2A36 and say that a battery can put almost one ton of ammunition onto a target in one minute. The AP-T round is used in the direct fire mode against tanks and other armored fighting vehicles. The propelling charge, which weighs a maximum of 11 kg, is placed in a conventional cartridge case. The standard HE-FRAG projectile has a maximum range of 27000 m although a rocket-assisted HE-FRAG projectile, called the active-reactive projectile by the former Soviets, can also be fired. This has a maximum range of 40000 m. Other types of projectile that can probably be fired by the 152 mm 2A36 include chemical, smoke, concrete piercing, incendiary and tactical nuclear. The ammunition system used by the 152 mm 2A36 is of a new design and is not inter-operable with that of earlier former Soviet artillery systems, such as the 152 mm 2S3, and may well be of a new streamlined design. The walking beam suspension has a total of four rubber-tired braked road wheels for high speed towing as well as for improved cross-country mobility with the tires having a normal tire pressure of 4.8 kg/cm2. Each of the front road wheels has a hydraulic shock absorber and a manual handbrake. When in firing position, the 152 mm 2A36 is supported on a circular jack that is located under the forward part of the carriage and on each of the box type welded trails which is provided with a spade. The standard spade is the winter spade but when firing from soft terrain much larger summer spades are used. When coming out of action, the jack is raised clear of the ground and secured under the front, spades removed and stowed on the trails, trails brought together and clamped with a tie mechanism. The hinged tow bar is fitted to the right trail and the weapon is then hitched up to the prime mover. Although the 2A36 was first observed being towed by the new KrAZ-260 (6 x 6) truck, it can also be towed by the KrAZ-255B (6 x 6) truck or ATT, ATS or ATS-59 full tracked vehicles.

The 2A45M shares similar ordnance to that of the T-72/T-80 MBTs. The 2A45M is mounted on a three trail carriage similar to that of the 122-mm D-30M towed howitzer, which enables it to be quickly traversed and laid onto a new target. The ordnance is fitted with a distinctive single baffle muzzle brake. The gun crew is protected by a shield which slopes to the rear and axis of fire 0.925 m. The 2A45M weighs 6300 kg when deployed in firing position and maximum range in the direct fire mode is quoted as 2100 meters. While maximum range of the conventional artillery mode firing a high explosive fragmentation round is 12,200 meters, this is limited by the maximum elevation of the ordnance. The 2A45M fires the same family of ammunition as the T-72/T-80 MBTs. This ammunition is of the separate-loading type (for example projectile and charge), but a dedicated round for the 2A45M may have been developed. The 2A45M is believed to be capable of firing the AT-11 SNIPER (Svir) laser beam riding, antitank guided missile which has a maximum range of 4000 meters. The 2A45M is fitted with an 20 kW auxiliary propulsion unit which provides it with limited battlefield mobility. It has two small wheels on the closed trails for steering purposes. It can be towed by a truck up to a maximum road speed of 80 km/h.

The 152 mm 2A36 is also referred to as the MSTA-B by the former Soviet Union with the weapon also forming the main armament of the new 152 mm self-propelled artillery system the 2S19 which is also referred to as the MSTA-S. The 2A65 has a long slender barrel which is estimated to be about 40 calibers long, and has a double-barrel muzzle brake. The split trail carriage has few features of note other than swiveling castor wheels secured towards the end of each trail leg and the provision of a hydraulically raised and lowered firing platform under the forward carriage. The 2A65 weighs 7000 kg, is manned by a crew of eight and can be brought into action in about two minutes. It is normally towed by a 6 x 6 truck up to a maximum speed of 80 km/h or 20 km/h across country. A ramming mechanism and a semi-automatic breech can produce a maximum rate of fire of seven rounds a minute. The 2A65 can fire most existing 152-mm howitzer projectiles but a new family has been specifically designed for the 2A65 (and 2S19). In his family one of three pre-loaded cartridge cases can be selected to suit a particular fire mission. Firing the latest FRAG-HE projectile the maximum range is 24,000 meters, but a FRAG-HE with a base bleed (BB) unit added can improve this to 29,000 meters. There is a cargo round containing 42 dual purpose (anti-personnel and armor-penetrating) bomblets, each containing 45 grams of explosives. Another novel projectile dispenses small radio transmitters intended to jam enemy communications. The 2A65 can also fire the KRASNOPOL laser-guided anti-armor projectile.

The SA-16 has been improved over the SA-18 through the addition of a new seeker and modified launcher nose cover. Whereas the 9M39 missile is fitted with an aerodynamic spike on the nose, the 9M310 missile of the SA-16 has the spike replaced with an aerodynamic cone which is held in place with a wire tripod. The protective covers of the new seekers differ: on the SA-18 it is conical shaped cover, while on the SA-16 it is tubular with a prominent lip at the forward edge. The 9M313 missile of the SA-16 employs an IR guidance system using proportional convergence logic, and an improved two-color seeker, presumably IR and UV). The seeker is sensitive enough to home in on airframe radiation, and the two-color sensitivity is designed to minimize vulnerability to flares.

2B9 82mm Vasilek Gun mortar. The 2B9 is a breech-loaded, recoil-operated mortar fed by four-round clips. The cyclic rate of fire is 40 to 60 rds/min but a clip of four rounds can be fired in two seconds. The 82-mm barrel is mounted on a towed, split trail, wheeled carriage and in action the weapon rests on the trail legs and a forward extendible leg that is lowered by a handwheel, with the main carriage raised off the ground. The ordnance then rests on a turning plate allowing 10° of traverse but the saddle is not fixed directly to the plate. Instead, it is supported by hydraulic elevators that can extend the ordnance into a high angle for indirect fire. For this the saddle, cradle, ammunition feed tray and ordnance are elevated together and moved forward so that at full elevation the trunions are above the carriage axle. Elevation is from 0 to 80°. The 2B9 can be fired as a mortar, using bombs loaded manually from the muzzle, at a high barrel elevation angle, or for automatic direct fire in the manner of a light or anti-tank gun (direct sights are provided) using the breech magazine loading feature. Range for direct fire is 1000 m and combat ranges are between 100 and 5000 m.

The 2B11 is a 120-mm towed mortar (the 2S12 is the same mortar carried portee-style on the back of a truck). The 2B11, which is a conventional, muzzle-loading, smoothbore mortar with a large circular baseplate, has a number of improvements over its predecessors, the M-1937 and M-1943, primarily of which is the use of modern materials which reduce the overall weight compared to earlier models. The 2B11 is fitted with a special safety device which prevents double-loading. The 2B11 has a crew of five. The 2B11/2S12 has a rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute with 6 seconds required to reload the tube for the next firing. The 2B11 can fire virtually any 120-mm mortar bomb produced in both the East and the West. The maximum range for standard FRAG-HE rounds is 7100 meters, with a minimum range of 480 meters.

The 2B16 is a 120-mm towed combination mortar-howitzer. The ordnance is likely a towed variant of the ordnance of the 2S9 120-mm Self-propelled Combination Gun. When in the firing position the 2B16 Combination Gun is supported on a small circular baseplate located under the forward part of the carriage with the wheels raised clear of the ground, and on the two trails. The trails are of a box section and locked together at the rear for towing, probably by a GAZ-66 (4 x 4) 2 ton truck which also carries the crew and a quantity of ready use ammunition. The ordnance is fitted with a large multi-baffle muzzle brake with the recoil system being mounted above the ordnance and extending about half-way along the barrel. When in the traveling configuration the ordnance is withdrawn out of battery to the rear to reduce the overall length of the system. A thin shield is provided either side of the ordnance to give some protection to the gun crew from shell splinters with the left side of the shield being slightly higher than the right as this also protects the sighting system. The upper part of the shield can be folded forward through 180° if required, although there is an aperture in the shield for the direct fire telescopic sight. The elevation and traverse handwheels are located on the left side of the carriage as are the direct and indirect sights. The breech is of the vertical sliding type and what appears to be a chamber indent device is fitted to retain the round in place when the weapon is fired at high elevation. It is believed that a power rammer is normally fitted to assist in loading ammunition at higher elevations as well as increasing its rate of fire. The 120-mm gun has a rate of fire of 6 to 8 rds/min. The direct fire HEAT projectile is estimated to defeat up to 600-mm of armor. In the indirect fire role the mortar fires high explosive, white phosphorous and smoke rounds. According to former Soviet sources, the maximum range of the 120-mm weapon is some 8000 m.

The RPU-14 was first produced in 1964 and adopted in 1967. It was first seen publicly in the November 1967 Moscow Red Square parade, and to date it has appeared only with Soviet forces. Although still found in some Soviet airborne divisions in the 1980s, the RPU-14 was in the process of being replaced by the airborne 122-mm rocket launcher (12-round) M1975. The 140-mm (16-round) towed rocket launcher RPU-14 is of simple, compact construction. The launch tubes are arranged in four banks of four tubes each, and the launcher is mounted on the same carriage as the 85-mm field gun D-44, with split tubular trails and a caster wheel. The RPU-14 normally is towed by the GAZ-66 4x4 light truck. The RPU-14 fires the same high-explosive fragmentation (M-140F) and chemical rounds as the BM-14-16 and BM-14-17, as well as a smoke round (M-14D). The effectiveness of the launcher is based on the rapid sequence of its salvo fire. With a rate of fire of 2 rds/sec, it can put its 16 rockets on target in approximately 8 seconds. Thus, the fire is effective because of its surprise effect as well as the explosive effect of the rockets. The rockets also are spin-stabilized to reduce the dispersion of rockets and thus to increase the accuracy and density of salvos. The maximum range is 9,810 meters. The RPU-14 is designed for employment with airborne forces. It differs from other rocket launchers due to its air-transportability and air-droppability.

By 1939, the Soviets realized that their 76.2mm anti-aircraft guns would be incapable of meeting the requirements that would be forced upon them by the development of larger and higher flying aircraft. The ZP obr. 39 85mm gun was developed to address this problem, and was available in some quantities by the beginning of the war. Basically a scaled up version of the 76.2mm model 1938 anti-aircraft gun, the Model 1939, or K-12, was a highly successful design, and like many anti-aircraft guns of the war was also quite capable in the anti-tank role. Modified versions of this gun were used in the SU-85 assault gun and the T-34/85 tank.

The Soviet 100mm antiaircraft gun KS-19 was introduced in the late 1940s as the replacement for the wartime 85mm guns. It found use in all of the Warsaw Pact armies, and atthouah it has been largely replaced by surface-to-air guided missiles, the KS-19 is still held in some Warsaw Pact units, and is employed in other countries as well. The KS-19 has a semiautomatic horizontal sliding wedge breechblock, a power rammer, an automatic fuze setter, and is fitted with a long multi-baffle muzzle brake. The antiaircraft fire control system includes a PUAZO-6/19 director and a SON-9 or SON-9A fire control radar. Provision is also made for direct fire against ground targets such as tanks. The ammunition is of the fixed type and is interchangeable to a large extent with that of other 100mm rifled tank and field guns. The KS-19M2 Anti-Aircraft Artillery may also be employed in a ground support role.

The 203mm G. obr. 31 howitzers, or B-4s, were rather unique in design, being supported by a tracked rather than a more conventional wheeled carriage. The tracks of the B4 were capable of moving 8 degrees from each side of center to increase maneuverability and to reduce its weight in ice and snow, but the huge howitzer was never intended to be self-propelled. Produced in many variants from 1931 to 1937, the highly accurate B-4s were particularly well suited for the reduction of fortifications and bunkers. Served by a crew of 15, (including 3 on the rammer), the 203mm required 3 minutes to load.

The RPO-A (Recoilless Infantry Flame Thrower) also known as Shmel ("bumblebee"), is a single shot, disposable, lightweight, shoulder-fired, recoilless "rocket" launcher. It is designed to kill personnel in dug-in and covered fighting positions, buildings and shelters. It is effective against soft-skinned vehicles like trucks and to a lesser degree, AFV's. The approximately 11 kg RPO-A is supplied as a completely prepackaged, ready-to-fire system. It is normally carried in a man-portable two-launcher pack. Removal of cotter pins separates the individual launchers and readies them to be cocked and fired. The 920-mm long lightweight glass-reinforced polymer composite launch tube is disposable. The 93-mm caliber RPO-A projectile is a thin-walled, burnished aluminum, aerodynamically shaped cylinder, fin-stabilized for long range accuracy. It contains a 2 kg thermobaric explosive fill which, when ignited, results in extended blast and thermal effect. The warhead has a centrally located booster charge with a base-detonating fuse to disperse and ignite the thermobaric explosive at the target. The Russians claim that the RPO-A is accurate and easy to use and that it can be fired from within confined spaces.

Soviet heavy machineguns were usually operated at the company level, with one company per each rifle regiment, or three to a rifle division. Each company rated 91 men, divided between three platoons of four guns each. The weapon used for most of the war was the venerable 7.62mm Maxim, most often mounted on a wheeled carriage. Although heavy and rather cumbersome, the Maxim was impeccably reliable and effective out to 1,000 meters. Heavy machinegun squads were sited for flanking fire, and if possible from multiple positions prepared 20-30 meters apart which would permit the guns to be shifted after 5-10 minutes of firing.


P02213
Engineers were used by the Soviets in much the same manner as other armies-to build, repair or destroy bridges, roads, fortifications and other forms of construction requiring specialized skill. The training and equipment of the Soviet infantryman was such that an entire rifle regiment and all of its supporting equipment could be dug in behind cleared fields of fire, camouflaged, and under protective cover in 12 hours or less. Anti-tank brigades had integral mine-engineer battalions for the laying of anti-personnel and anti-tank mines. These would be divided into companies of sappers, or mine-engineers, which in turn were divided into three platoons of about thirty men apiece.

The 7.62-mm general-purpose machine gun Pulemyot Kalashnikov (PK) is a gas-operated, belt-fed, sustained-fire weapon. The PKM fires 7.62 x 54R rimmed cartridges using a metal non disintegrating belt. The basic PK model is bipod-mounted. It is fed by a 100-round belt carried in a box fastened to the right side of the receiver. It weighs 9 kilograms and is 1,161 millimeters long. It is constructed partly of stamped metal and partly of forged steel. The PKS is a PK mounted on a lightweight (4.75-kg) tripod. It uses either a 200- or 250-round belt. The belt feeds from a box placed to the right of the weapon. The PKT is the tank-mounted version of the PK. Late-model FSU tanks, turreted APCs and IFVs, and amphibious scout cars mount it as a coaxial machine gun. It has a longer and heavier barrel than the PK. It also lacks the PK's stock, sights, bipod, and trigger mechanism. The PKT has a solenoid at the rear for remote-controlled firing, although it also has an emergency manual trigger. The PKB is a variant of the PKT. It is intended for use as a pintle-mounted gun on APCs and SP guns. It differs from the PKT by having a butterfly trigger rather than a solenoid trigger and by having double space grips and front and rear sights. The PKM is an improved, lighter version (8.4 kilograms) of the PK, using stamped metal components instead of machined metal. Joinable 25-round sections of non-disintegrating metallic belts feed the bipod-mounted PKM. An assault magazine attached to the rails under the receiver can carry 100 cartridges belted in this way. Either 200- or 250-round belt boxes can also feed the PKM. The tripod-mounted PKMS is a lightweight version of the PKS. It has the same characteristics as the PKM, from which it is derived. The effective range of the PK-series machine guns is 1,000 meters. They have a cyclic rate of fire of 650 rounds per minute and a practical rate of fire of 250 rounds per minute. Ammunition types include the following: ball, ball-tracer, armor-piercing incendiary, armor-piercing incendiary-tracer, and incendiary-ranging.


P02237
The DShK is one of the standard heavy machine guns of the Soviet Army. It is a gas-operated, belt-fed, air-cooled weapon which fires from the open-bolt position. The model 38/46 has a shuttle feed housed in a flat, rectangular cover. It has reversible feed; that is, with a minor adjustment the ammunition belt can feed from either the left or the right side. It also has a quick-change barrel. The FSU use the DShK extensively as an antipersonnel and antiaircraft armament on medium tanks and armored personnel carriers. It is capable of full automatic fire only. The Soviets adopted the original DShK (model 38 or M1938) in 1938 as a ground-mounted, dual-purpose antiaircraft and antitank gun. Largely superseded by the 14.5-mm ZPU-series <http://users.aol.com/threatmstr/airdef.htm> weapons in the antiaircraft role, the ground-mounted version has become obsolete. In 1946, the Soviets adopted the improved version (model 38/46 or M1938/46, also known as DShKM) with a modified feed mechanism and a quick-change barrel. It is still in use as a vehicle-mounted armament. When used as a tank machine gun, it is known as the DShKT.


P02238
The NSV is a gas-operated, belt-fed, air-cooled automatic weapon with a horizontal sliding wedge breechblock and a quick-change barrel. It has a long, smooth, unfinned barrel with a conical flash suppressor. It features a rectangular stamped-and-riveted receiver. Ammunition loaded in non-disintegrating belts feeds into the weapon from a 50-round-capacity metal container. A tripod-mounted version of the NSV is available for infantry use in a ground role. However, the NSV appears more commonly mounted on the turrets of T-64 <http://users.aol.com/threatmstr/afvs.htm>, T-72 <http://users.aol.com/threatmstr/afvs.htm>, and T-80 <http://users.aol.com/threatmstr/afvs.htm> tanks as an anti-aircraft machine gun. On a vehicular mount, the NSV can engage both aerial and ground targets. The weapon fires from an open-bolt position. It fires the same 12.7 x 108-mm cartridges as the older DShK model 38/46. Although the NSV is approximately 11 kilograms lighter than the DShK, the ruggedness of the gas regulator and cylinder suggest that barrel vibrations would be dampened, resulting in accuracy comparable to that of the DShK. 


P02239
The AGS-17 is a blowback-operated 30-mm automatic grenade launcher that can be mounted on a tripod or vehicle. A prominent drum magazine mounted on the right side holds 29 belted grenade rounds. The non-disintegrating metallic link belt exits from the left side. The short barrel with disc-shaped cooling fins protrudes from a large rectangular receiver. For ground transport, the system breaks down into four parts. The launcher itself weighs 17.86 kilograms and may be enclosed in a canvas carrying case. The sight weighs 0.99 kilograms; the folding tripod weighs 11.86 kilograms; and the magazine weighs 14.34 kilograms fully loaded, or 2.87 kilograms empty. The AGS-17 crew consists of a gunner and two riflemen-assistant gunners. For training, there may be only one assistant. When they dismount, the gunner carries the sight and launcher, the first assistant carries the tripod and a magazine, and the second assistant carries two additional magazines. The Soviets designed the AGS-17 to provide their infantry with an area-type suppressive-fire capability. They intend to use it primarily against personnel targets. It probably has some capability to engage soft-skinned and lightly armored vehicles. It is very accurate in the semiautomatic mode; it is also quite effective in area coverage in the automatic mode. One of the most important characteristics of the AGS-17 is its ability to provide indirect fire from protected positions against enemy troops in trenches, on reverse slopes of hills, or behind wooded areas. The gunner can engage targets by high-angle indirect fire at ranges from 1,000 to 1,730 meters; he can also use direct fire or high-angle direct fire at ranges from 50 to 1,730 meters. The sight reticle can serve as a direct-fire sight for point targets at ranges of up to 700 meters. The range table allows the gunner to adjust his fire rapidly for various ranges without computing elevations for the sight.

Most of the talented and experienced senior officers were perceived as threats and eliminated, and those that remained were under the scrutiny of political officers. when the Germans invaded in June 1941, The untrained junior officers, having been largely passed over by the purges, suffered under the guns of the Wehrmacht. As the war progressed, the senior officers became quite adept at using the assets at their disposal. The political commissars were removed from company sized formations in May 1943, and later, from all formations smaller than a corps, which both streamlined the tasks of headquarters staffs, and released 122,000 political officers to be taught more relevant arts of war. In 1942 alone, 564,000 officers graduated command, staff or branch courses.

The all-weather SA-10 system is able to engage several targets at once and combat intensive raids at all altitude levels from very low up to high level. In the mid-1980s design work was completed on a mobile version of the system, known by the designation SA-10b GRUMBLE Mod 1 (Russian designation S-300PMU). In this version the weapon is mounted, carried and vertically launched from a dedicated four-round capacity transporter-erector launcher vehicle based on the MAZ-7910 (8 x 8) truck chassis. The combined engagement radar and control station is mounted on the same chassis. The SA-10a site (complex) is believed to be occupied by a missile battery which deploys a battery command post and engagement control center, a large 3D continuous wave pulse Doppler target acquisition radar (CLAM SHELL), an I-band multi-function phased-array trailer-mounted engagement radar (FLAP LID A) with digital beam steering in hardened sites, and up to 12 semi-trailer erector-launchers which mount four tubular missile container-launchers. The towing unit for the semi-trailer erector-launcher is the KrAZ-260V (6 x 6) tractor truck. The launchers are usually positioned on concrete pads with the trailers being leveled by the use of four hydraulic jacks. An SA-10a Regiment probably comprises three such batteries and deploys a 4 m high F-band long-range, 3D surveillance and tracking radar (BIG BIRD) at the Regimental command post for initial target detection. The SA-10b mobile missile battery comprises the combined FLAP LID B engagement radar and engagement control/command post station mounted on a MAZ-7910 chassis, up to 12 TELs (SPU: mobile launcher unit), a trailer-mounted 3D 360º scanning target designation radar (Russian designation 36D6; CLAM SHELL) and a maintenance section. An SA-10b Regiment probably consists of three such batteries together with an additional radar section and a number of TZM (transport-loader vehicles) MAZ-7910 transloaders for resupply purposes. The vertically launched SA-10 missile is a single stage weapon powered by an air-fired solid propellant rocket motor. The warhead is normally a 100 kg plus HE-fragmentation type with proximity fusing although a low yield tactical nuclear type is believed to be a possible option. The TEL version carries a total of four sealed container-launcher cylinders, each of which is used for the storage, transport and launching of a missile. When traveling the launcher system is carried in the horizontal position but at the launch site is elevated to an angle of 90º. The missile was designed to have this vertical launch trajectory so it has the quickest available reaction time capability to counter targets approaching from any azimuth. The combined FLAP LID-B radar/engagement control vehicle has the 2.75 m2 planar array antenna mounted to the front on a box-like antenna mount and support systems container. When traveling the array is carried horizontally but when deployed it is raised above the container to an angle of approximately 60º. Missile guidance is of the Track-Via-Missile (TVM) type with the FLAP LID guidance radar capable of engaging up to six targets simultaneously, with two missiles assigned per target to ensure a high kill probability. Maximum target velocity is stated to be 4200 km/h with the battery capable of firing three missiles per second. The battery takes only five minutes to deploy once it comes to the halt as the vehicles have an electronic inter-vehicle communications and data transmission link that uses elevatable pole-type devices and does not require any interconnecting vehicle cables. Each of the MAZ-7910 derivative vehicles also has a set of four hydraulic jacks positioned either side between the first/second and third/fourth road wheels which are lowered to the ground to provide a more stable and level environment. Time out of battery for the system is again around five minutes. If the battery is employed in rugged terrain or forest then the engagement radar system and box-like superstructure can be mounted on a special trailer-mounted extendible 24.4 m high tower to improve radar coverage. If this type of radar is used in its extended state then the low level engagement range of the SA-10 system is said to increase to 43200 m from the original 32000 m. Missile engagement altitude limits extend from 25 m upwards to about 30000 m. Maximum engagement range is stated by the Russians to be 90000 m, although in practice it is probably greater than this. When in its sealed container-launcher cylinder the missile is considered to be a round of ammunition and is said not to require any check-ups or adjustments for a period of 10 years.

The chassis of the 2S5 is of all-welded steel armor construction that is believed to have a maximum thickness of 15-mm so providing the crew with protection from small arms fire and shell splinters. A dozer blade is mounted under the nose of the 2S5. This is used for clearing obstacles and preparing firing positions without specialized engineer support. Mounted externally on the forward part of the cupola is a 7.62-mm machine gun that can be operated by remote-control with a white light searchlight being mounted on the left side. The commander is provided with periscopes and other viewing devices. The long-barreled 152-mm ordnance, which is fitted with a five part multi-baffle muzzle brake, is mounted externally on the roof at the rear and when traveling is held in position by a travel lock. When deployed in the firing position a large spade is lowered to the ground to provide a more stable firing platform. The 2S5 takes three minutes to come into action and a similar time to come out of action. Ammunition is of the separate loading type, for example projectile and charge, and crew fatigue is reduced by means of a semi-automatic loading system. This consists of an electrically driven chain rammer located to the left of the breech which, when not required folds back through 90° so that it is parallel to the breech and the projectile and charge-loading system. The latter is pivoted on the right side and has a projectile tray and a charge tray. The projectile and charge are loaded in the trays and then swung upwards through almost 90° where the rammer first rams the projectile then the charge. The 2S5 can be supplied with ammunition from either on board via the rear of the vehicle or from ammunition on the ground. A total of 30 projectiles and charges is carried with the projectiles being stowed vertically in a carousel device in the left side of the rear compartment with the 30 charges to the right in three rows of 10. Each row of 10 charges is also stowed vertically and they are on a horizontal conveyor belt that returns under the floor of the vehicle. The charge consists of a conventional cartridge case containing the actual charge and once fired the breech automatically opens and the spent cartridge case is ejected. Maximum range, firing conventional ammunition is 28500-m while a range of 40000-m can be achieved using a rocket-assisted projectile. In addition to the normal high explosive fragmentation projectile which weighs 46 kg, with propellant and cartridge weighing a maximum of 34 kg, other types include chemical, concrete-piercing, improved conventional munitions and tactical nuclear. A unit of fire is 60 rounds. The mechanical ammunition-handling system enables a maximum rate of fire of 5-6 rds/min to be achieved. Standard equipment for the 2S5 includes an NBC system and infra-red night equipment for the driver and commander.

The 2S23 Anona is a Self-Propelled Airborne Gun-mortar. It is likely this vehicle will equip mortar batteries of BTR-equipped motorized rifle battalions. A battery of these vehicles was tested under operational conditions in Chechnya and lost one vehicle to a landmine. The 120-mm 2S23 self-propelled howitzer/mortar system is essentially a modified version of the turret used with the 2S9 system mounted on a modified BTR-80 (8 x 8) armored personnel carrier chassis. The all-welded steel turret of the 2S23 does differ from that observed on the 2S9 (SO-120) in a number of areas including the installation of three electrically operated smoke dischargers either side of the turret firing forwards and a raised commander's cupola towards the rear of the turret on the left side which overhangs the side of the turret. On the 2S23 the infra-red searchlight is mounted on the forward part of the commander's cupola which is also provided with vision devices. Forward of the cupola is a 7.62-mm pintle-mounted machine gun. The turret is also provided with vision blocks for direct observation. The 120-mm main armament, designated the 2A60, has a maximum range of 8000-m with a maximum rate of fire being 6 to 8 rds/min. In addition to firing former Soviet 120-mm mortar bombs, the 120-mm weapon of the 2S23 can also fire mortar bombs fired by the French Thomson-Brandt MO-120-RT-61 mortar system that is used by many countries around the world. This fires a wide range of mortar bombs including HE, HE extended range, illuminating and smoke. The direct fire sight is located to the left of the 120-mm main armament while the indirect fire sight is mounted in the turret roof on the left side. The indirect sight housing of the 2S23 appears to be slightly different from that of the earlier 2S9 (SO-120) system. Although the chassis of the 2S23 is similar to that of the BTR-80 it does have a number of differences including removal of all firing ports and their associated vision devices, removal of the side doors between the second and third road wheels, different roof hatches and removal of the commander's roof-mounted infra-red searchlight. Although the doors in the upper hull sides have been removed, a door is fitted in the lower part of the hull between the second and third wheels as an emergency exit. The 2S23 retains the amphibious characteristics of the original BTR-80 and has a single water-jet at the rear of the hull with a trim vane being mounted on the front of the vehicle. This folds back onto the glacis plate when not required. Standard equipment on the 2S23 includes an NBC system, night vision equipment and a central tire pressure regulation system that allows the driver to adjust the tire pressure to suit the type of ground being crossed.

The 2S7 is based on a large chassis that is probably the largest armored vehicle currently in the former Soviet inventory. The fully enclosed crew compartment is at the front of the vehicle and has seats for the commander, driver and two other crew members. The commander and driver are each provided with a circular roof hatch and in front of these are periscopes for forward observation. To their immediate front is a windscreen that, when in a combat area, is covered by an armored shutter hinged at the top. In addition, there is a single forward-facing periscope in the forward part of the roof between the commander and driver. The torsion bar suspension has seven dual rubber-tired road wheels either side with the drive sprocket at the front and the idler at the rear, and six track-return rollers that support the inside of the track only. Along either side of the hull are a series of large stowage boxes with the 203-mm gun, which is not fitted with a fume extractor or a muzzle brake, being mounted at the rear. One piston of the recoil brake and recuperator is located on the gun with the other two pistons beneath it and these limit recoil to a maximum of 1400-mm. The 203-mm gun is designated the 2A44 and when traveling is held in position by a manually operated lock mounted on top of the cab. The 203-mm rifled gun is fitted with a screw type breech block that opens to the right and is fitted with a large power-assisted loading device. The gun operator is seated at the rear of the hull on the left side with the elevation and traverse controls. It is reported that traverse is probably electric and elevation hydraulic, with manual controls being provided for emergency use. Ammunition is of the separate loading type, for example projectile and charge with a maximum muzzle velocity of 960 m/s. Maximum range, using unassisted ammunition, is 37.5 km. The standard HE round is designated the ZOF 43 and weighs 43 kg with a total of four projectiles and charges being carried on the 2S7 for immediate use. The remainder of the ammunition load is carried by another vehicle, usually a truck. In addition to the HE projectile it is reported that other types of projectile can be fired including tactical nuclear and concrete-piercing and, possibly chemical. The 2S7 is provided with an ammunition-handling system that enables a rate of fire of 2 rds/min to be achieved, with this being operated by the loader. Mounted at the very rear of the 2S7 is a large hydraulically operated spade that is lowered to the ground before firing commences. Standard equipment includes an NBC system of the overpressure type and night vision equipment. An auxiliary power unit is not provided for the 2S7 so the main engine has to be kept running as a power supply during firing.

The 240-mm self-propelled mortar known to the West as the M-1975 is known as the SM-240 (2S4) by the former Soviet Army, although its more common name is the Tyulpan, or Tulip Tree. The M-1975 consists of a much modified GMZ tracked minelaying vehicle carrying a 240-mm M-240 breech-loading mortar on the hull rear. The mortar is carried complete with a baseplate and is hydraulically lowered from its traveling position around a pivot on the hull rear. The baseplate is hinged to the hull rear so that when emplaced the mortar barrel faces away from the hull. The 240-mm mortar is lowered into the firing position under remote-control and when in position can be elevated from +45 to +80° with a traverse of 8° left and right. Some rounds are probably carried inside the vehicle hull and it is likely that some form of assisted loading is provided. The rate of fire is probably about one round a minute, with firing being by remote-control. The hull of the vehicle is of all-welded steel armor with the engine compartment at the front right and driver front left. The commander is seated to the rear of the driver and has a raised cupola with an externally mounted 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine gun. A further hatch is to the rear of the commander's cupola with a similar outward opening hatch on the opposite side of the vehicle roof. Ammunition is stowed internally and is loaded into the mortar using a hand-operated crane mounted at the rear of the vehicle on the left side. The mortar sighting system is on the right side of the mortar. Suspension is of the torsion bar type with each side having six road wheels with the drive sprocket at the front, idler at the rear and four track-return rollers. Firing a standard 130 kg HE round designated the F-864, a minimum range of 800-m and a maximum range of 9700-m can be achieved. In addition there is understood to be an extended-range round with a maximum range of 20000 m. Other rounds include a chemical projectile and nuclear. A concrete-piercing round for use against urban targets has been reported

The FROG-7 (9K52 Luna) is the final version of the Free Rocket Over Ground family of unguided battlefield rockets developed by the former Soviet Union. It is an unguided, spin-stabilized, short-range, battlefield support artillery rocket. It employs a modified BAZ-135 transporter erector launcher (TEL) vehicle (industrial designation 3R11), which carries one rocket and a crane on an 8 x 8 wheeled chassis. It is supported by a resupply vehicle (TZM), which consists of the BAZ-135L4 8 x 8 truck with three missiles. These reload missiles are placed on the TEL by that vehicle’s own hydraulically operated crane, which is on the right side of the launcher rail. A typical FROG-7 battalion is equipped with an HQ battery, and two firing batteries, each with two TELs and a D-band RMS (END TRAY) long-range meteorological radar. The range of the rocket is 70 km, and the rocket has a CEP of 500 to 700 meters. It is fitted with either a 450 kg HE, 450 kg nuclear, or 36 kg chemical warheads. The FROG-7b is an improved rocket which can carry a cargo warhead capable of delivering bomblets or mines. Preparation for firing can take 15 to 30 minutes depending on the situation.

The SS-21 SCARAB (9K79 Tochka) is a single-stage, short-range, tactical-ballistic missile. It is transported and fired from the 9P129 transporter erector launcher, which is based on BAZ-5921 6 x 6 wheeled chassis. It is supported by two missile transport vehicles: a tactical transloader (9T218) which is based on the same BAZ-5921 chassis (identifiable from the TEL by the canvas covered rear bed); and a 9T238 missile transporter trailer, which is towed by a ZIL-131 truck. The 9P129 TEL has a crew compartment in the forward section of the vehicle, and a missile compartment behind this. During transport, the missile is entirely enclosed, with the warhead in a temperature-controlled casing. The SS-21 SCARAB missile (9M79) has a maximum range of 70 km and a CEP of 160 meters. An improved version, called the 9M79-1 (Tochka-U) has a maximum range of 120 km, thanks to an improved composite propellant. The SS-21 is capable of carrying several different warheads. The basic warhead is the 9N123F HE-Frag warhead which has 120 kg of high explosives. The 9N123K is a submunition warhead which can probably carry either bomblets or mines. The SS-21 can also carry the AA60 tactical nuclear warhead.

The SS-1C SCUD is a single-stage, short-range tactical ballistic missile, using storable liquid propellants. It is transported, and fired from a TEL based on a MAZ-543 wheeled (8 x 8) chassis. The SCUD was designed for targets such as marshaling areas, major storage dumps, and airfields. The SCUD, which has a maximum range of 300 km, has been deployed in three variants: (S-1b) SCUD A, (SS-1c) SCUD B, and SCUD D. The primary difference between each of these variants is their guidance system and resulting CEP. The SCUD A and SCUB B have a rudimentary inertial guidance system using three gyroscopes and have a CEP of 450 meters. The SCUD D has an active radar terminal seeker to refine the aim point as the warhead approaches the target, and a CEP of 50 m. The warhead separates from the motor and fuel tank assembly following motor burn-out to increase warhead stability and accuracy. All of the SCUD variants are capable of delivering the same warheads: HE, chemical, and nuclear. The MAZ-543 TEL gives the SCUD missile system greater road mobility. It reduces the number of support vehicles required, and still preserves a great choice in selecting off-road firing positions.

The BTR-50P is based on the chassis of the PT-76 light amphibious tank with a new superstructure added to the front of the vehicle. This is the early version without a roof. The hull of the BTR-50P is made of all-welded steel with the crew compartment at the front, open-topped troop compartment in the centre and the engine compartment at the rear. The torsion bar suspension consists of six rubber-tired road wheels with the drive sprocket at the rear and the idler at the front. There are no track-return rollers. The first and last road wheel stations have a hydraulic shock absorber and the steel tracks each have 96 links when new. The 20 infantrymen sit on bench seats which run across the full width of the vehicle and enter and leave by climbing over the side of the hull. Armament consists of a pintle-mounted 7.62 mm SGMB machine gun. When the BTR-50P was originally introduced there were ramps at the rear of the hull to enable a 57 mm anti-tank gun M1943 (ZIS-2), 76 mm divisional gun M1943 (ZIS-3) or an 85 mm division gun D-44 to be carried and fired from the rear decking. The weapon could also be fired when the vehicle was afloat, but only when the water-jets were in operation. The engine used in the BTR-50P is one half of that fitted to the T-54 MBT. The vehicle has three fuel tanks, two in the right forward side of the engine compartment and one at the rear. The BTR-50P is fully amphibious and propelled in the water by two water-jets at the rear of the hull. The only preparation required before entering the water is to erect the trim vane at the front of the hull and switch on the two electric bilge pumps. There is a manual bilge pump for emergency use. Steering is accomplished by opening and closing the two doors over the rear water-jets: to go left the left water-jet is covered and to turn through 180ø the left water-jet sucks in water and the right water-jet pushes it out. The basic BTR-50P has no NBC system.

BTR-D APC The BTR-D was first seen during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and is often referred to as the BMD M1979 by NATO. It is distinguishable from the standard BMD by its longer chassis with six rather than five road wheels, different hull top and lack of a turret. The basic BTR-D is a multi-purpose armored transporter used by the former Soviet VDV (Air Assault Forces) air assault divisions, for a variety of roles including troop transporter, towing support weapons such as the 23 mm ZU-23 light anti-aircraft gun and maintenance support. This version retains the hull front and side firing ports of the BMD-1 and has two forward-firing smoke dischargers on each side of the hull roof in line with the fifth road wheel station. There are nine firing ports, two in the hull front each with a 7.62 mm machine gun, two in each side of the hull, one in the rear and the two front hatches below and either side of the commander's cupola can be used. The BTR-D is based on automotive components of the BMD-1 airborne combat vehicle and like this vehicle has a hull of all-welded aluminum construction. The glacis protection of the vehicle has been increased by the use of a dual slanted angle in the upper plates of the armor at the front. The BTR-D can carry 13 men, the driver/mechanic at the front, a bow machine gunner either side and 10 infantrymen at the rear, the bow machine gunners normally deploy with the infantry. A total of 2000 rounds of 7.62-mm ammunition is carried for the 7.62-mm PKT machine guns mounted at the front of the vehicle and an additional two 7.62- mm PKT machine guns can be mounted on the roof. Some early production vehicles had a small one-man turret armed with a 7.62-mm PKT machine gun that could be aimed and fired from within the turret.

It has a low-silhouette, box-like hull made of welded steel plates, and a small turret on the right front that mounts a single 7.62-mm machine gun. There are four firing ports: one on each side of the vehicle and one in each of the two rear exit doors. The flat hull roof has two forward-opening, troop exit hatches. The flat-track suspension consists of six road wheels with no return rollers. The hull of the MT-LB is all-welded steel with the crew compartment at the front, engine immediately behind the crew compartment on the left side and the troop compartment at the rear of the hull. The machine gun turret is mounted to the right of the commander's position and is armed with a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. Both the driver and machine gunner have a windscreen in front of their positions which, when in action, is covered by a flap hinged at the top. There is a vision block in each side of the hull, to the left of the driver's and the right of the machine gunner's position. An aisle provides access from the crew compartment at the front of the vehicle to the personnel compartment at the rear which has inward-facing folding canvas seats for the 10 infantrymen. Two hatches over the top of the troop compartment open forwards. The infantry enter and leave the vehicle by two doors in the rear of the hull, both of which are provided with a firing port. There is an additional firing port and vision block in each side of the troop compartment. An unditching beam is often carried on the roof or side of the vehicle. The MT-LB is fully amphibious being propelled in the water by its tracks. Standard equipment on all vehicles includes an NBC system. The MT-LB has air-actuated brakes which can be connected to a trailer. Night vision equipment includes an OU-3GK white/infra-red searchlight with a range of 400 m for the commander and a TVN-2 infra-red periscope for the driver with a range of 40 m. It can also tow a trailer or weapon weighing up to 6500 kg or carry up to 2000 kg of cargo or stores.

The T-70 design was entrusted to the team of N. Astrov at Zavod Nr. 38 and began in earnest in late 1942. The T-60 was slower in rough terrain than the heavier T-34s it was supposed to scout for, and its use as a fighting vehicle was negligible. The need for a heavier gun and armor capable of protecting the two-man crew from a 37mm projectile was recognized , so the new T-70 was designed around a hull armor thickness of 45mm and a main gun of 45mm. Many of the vehicle's components were of ready availability, and the T-70 was rushed into production in March 1942. The one man gun turret made it nearly impossible to coordinate platoon activity, and by 1943, the T-70 was unlikely to survive a clash with German armor. Although an improved design, the T-80, addressed some of these problems, very few of them were built before the red Army ceased design exploration on lightly armed scout tanks. 8,226 T-70 scout tanks were produced.

The BA-64 was the first new Soviet armored car design of the war, and featured a curious coffin shaped hull. Early versions had an open position for the single 7.62mm machinegun, but the most commonly produced variants had a lightly armored turret. Production of the BA-64 was slow due to technical difficulties with the GAZ chassis, prompting the importation of American scout cars such as the M3A1. Approximately 3500 B-64s were completed between January 1943 and the end of the war.

The 9A52 300-mm is the largest caliber of multiple rocket launcher used by the Commonwealth of Independent States and it is commonly known as the Smerch (Tornado). The complete system has the industrial designation of the 9K58. The original 9A52 launcher has a total of 14 launcher tubes, but this is a modified variant, Smerch-M, has also been deployed, this has the industrial index of 9A52-2 and has a total of 12 launcher tubes. It fires a cluster bomb type round. The main role of the system is to suppress missile, artillery and mortar batteries, destroy strong points and eliminate enemy nodes of resistance. The system is based on an improved MAZ-543M (8 x 8) cross-country truck designated the MAZ-7310 which is also used for the re-supply vehicle. The launcher has a fully enclosed two-door cab that is on the left side of the vehicle whereas the rocket re-supply vehicle has a four-door fully enclosed cab that is in two parts, one either side of the front-mounted engine compartment.

OT-34/85 flamethrower tanks were T-34 medium tanks with a flame projector mounted in place of the hull machinegun. The main gun was retained, but the presence of the flamethrower and its fuel within the tank left little room within the vehicle for the gun crew. The heavy and medium flamethrower tanks were initially organized into independent battalions, but were later mixed with gun tank formations which could better provide them with fire support.

When representing a mineclearing platoon this unit also includes a DIM mine detection vehicle and an IMR obstacle clearing vehicle. The MTK armored mineclearing vehicle is a derivative of the BTR-50PK tracked armored personnel carrier carrying a UR-67 rocket launcher system using a length of UZR-3 high explosive line charge 170 meters long. The UZR-3 charge is carried in a fabric tube container carried inside the hull of the vehicle. In use, the MTK is driven to the edge of a minefield and aligned before the rocket is fired from its elevated launcher at the rear of the vehicle. As the rocket travels it tows the line charge, which is secured by a line to the launch vehicle, across the minefield. The line charge is then positioned by the vehicle crew using the securing line and detonated to clear any mines in its vicinity. The MTK carries three UR-67 rocket and line charge systems.

When representing an Engineer Reconnaissance platoon this unit often includes a DIM mine detection vehicle. This engineer reconnaissance vehicle's chassis employs components of the BMP infantry combat vehicle. It has two propellers in housings mounted on the rear of the armored hull for propulsion in the water. A wave deflector covers the front of the hull. Also mounted on the front of the hull are two arms for a metallic mine detector. A periscope is mounted on the right front of the vehicle, at the commander's station. The IRM weighs 17 metric tons and is powered by a 300-hp engine. With the detector arms in the travel mode, the vehicle is 8.22 meters long, 3.15 meters wide, and 2.40 meters high. It is armed with a single 7.62-mm machine gun. The IRM can travel at a road speed of 52 kilometers per hour, with a range of 500 kilometers. It is amphibious and can swim at up to 10 kilometers per hour. Onboard reconnaissance and navigation equipment includes the mine detector; a mechanical penetrometer, to analyze soil for trafficability; sonar, for water bottom profiles and mine and obstacle detection; a gyrocompass and gyro-stabilized artificial horizon; land navigation and night observation equipment; and the periscope. The mine detector arms are hydraulically articulated to their operating position (as depicted) in three minutes. The detector will bring the vehicle to a halt upon encountering an obstacle or detecting a metallic object. The periscope can extend to 1.5 meters and can move vertically up to 750 millimeters. The IRM has an engine exhaust smoke system, water pumping equipment, and a collective protection system. It also carries portable sapper equipment such as portable mine detectors, a DSP-30 rangefinder, a PIR periscope, an ice drill, and a hand penetrometer. These allow dismounted sappers to conduct further reconnaissance.

The T-44 Medium Tank was designed as the next-generation replacement for the T-34/85. It was lower and faster than the latter, and had better armor protection as well. An attempt to arm it with a 100mm gun proved unsuccessful, however, and it retained the same armament as the T-34/85. It entered production in early 1945, and some were apparently used in combat in Germany. About 150-200 were built prior to the end of the war, but they quickly acquired a bad reputation due to faulty transmissions. The T-44 is perhaps best remembered as the design basis of the post-war T-54/T-55/T-62 series of tanks.

Used by independent mechanized gun regiments as direct fire support for tanks, ISU-122s entered service in March 1944, and were produced concurrently with their nearly identical but heavier gunned relatives, the ISU-152. The 122mm had a greater range and better armor penetration capability than the 152mm gun , but was not preferred because the tactics of the gun regiments seldom required it. Nevertheless, ISU-122s were produced throughout the remainder of the war due to the ready availability of the 122mm gun.

The IT-1 (Lit; istrebitel tankov = tank hunter) aka 'raketniy tank' or 'ob'yekt 150' was developed between 1957-1962. This tankhunter, based on the chassis and hull of the T-62 and was fitted with a new turret with stabilised anti-tank system TURS 2K4, day/night sights T2-PD and UPN-S. It carried 15 PTUR 3M7 'Drakon' (Falanga/Swatter B) ATGM (3 reserve and 12 in the automatic loader) was radio-guided (semi-automatic) with a range between 300 and 3,300m. Secondary armament consisted of a 7.62mm PKT with 2,000 rounds. The IT-1 was the only rocket tank that ever actualy entered service with the Soviet forces. They were in production from 1968 - 1970 by various companies, and 20 additional vehicles were produced by the Uralvagonzavod factory in 1970. Only two battalions operated them [one with artillery personnel and one with tank] with one battalion in Belarus MD and the other one in the Carpathian MD. This means that there weren't more than around 60 vehicles The units were disbanded after the withdrawal of IT-1 and all the vehicles were reportedly converted to ARVs after they were withdrawn from use.

The SS-1B Scud A tactical Ballistic missile system mounted on a modified JS-111 chassis, known as the 8K11. This unit also represents the later Scud B missile on the 8K11/8K14 launcher. The Scud is a mobile, Russian-made, short-range, tactical ballistic surface-to-surface (hence the nomenclature abbreviation SS) missile system. The SCUD-series guided missiles are single-stage, short-range ballistic missiles using storable liquid propellants. The Scud is derived from the World War II-era German V-2 rocket. Unlike the FROG series of unguided missiles, the SCUDs have movable fins. Warheads can be HE, chemical, or nuclear, and the missile, launched vertically from a small platform, has a range of 300 km. Unsophisticated gyroscopes guided the missile only during powered flight - which lasts about 80 seconds. Once the rocket motor shut down, the entire missile with the warhead attached coasted unguided to the target area. Consequently, Scuds had notoriously poor accuracy, and the farther they flew, the more inaccurate they became. SCUD missiles are found in SSM (SCUD) brigades at front/army level. The SCUD series of missiles gave the Soviet front and army commanders an integral nuclear weapons capability. Non-nuclear variants of the SCUD missiles have been exported to both Warsaw Pact and non-Warsaw Pact nations.

The TOS-1-4 system, which first gained widespread notice in combat in Chechnya, fires a 220mm "flame rocket" which is probably a fuel-air explosive. This type of munition releases a large cloud of flammable gas and cause massive explosions that can clear out bunkers and other fortifications. The TOS-1-4 [expansion unknown] was first displayed publicly at the third international Omsk '99 exhibition of ground and air equipment in June 1999. Held on the grounds of the Polyot aerospace amalgamation, demonstration exercises and firing tests were held at the Svetly township test site. Possibly a prototype, the chassis is based on the T-72 tank. Systems of this type in the West are typically employed for mine-clearing operations, and it is possible that this system was pressed into service in Chechnya for this purpose, as well as to employ the fuel-air explosive area denial munition against Chechen fighters in urban areas.

T-94 Main Battle Tank. A new Main Battle Tank, which was initially planned to enter service in 1994, remains in development due to financial restrictions. It is under development at the Uralvagonzavod Plant in Nizhniy Tagil [Potkin's bureau] which was responsible for all recent Russian tanks apart from the T-80. State acceptance trials of the new tank started at the Kubinka Proving Ground in August or September of 1998.Very little information is publicly available concerning this vehicle, including the official designation, which is apparently still designated under the developmental "ob'ekt" nomenclature. It is suggested that this new tank will weigh about 50 tons, though with a lowerr silhouette than other recent Russian tanks. The primary armament is reportedly a either a 152mm or 135mm smoothbore gun / ATGM launcher with an ammunition load of at least 40 rounds, which may be placed in an unmanned gun pod on top of the hull to lower the silhouette and increase survivability. The new design also places far greater emphasis on crew protection than in previous Russian tank designs through a unitary armored pod inside the hull. This new tank is apparently in competition with the T-80UM2 "Black Eagle" modification, and may remain unable to secure production funding due to its higher cost and the potential for upgrading the existing T-80 inventory to the "Black Eagle" standard. This unit represents the 135mm gun version.

A new Russian MBT named Chiorny Oriol (Black Eagle) was shown for the first time at the second VTTV-Omsk-97 International Exhibition of Armaments, Military Equipment and Conversion Products held in September '97 in Omsk, Siberia region, Russia. Until recently, there were hardly any details about the tank except for a couple of words and a poster on the Defendory 1998 held in Greece. According to the information I have, this tank is being developed in cooperation with and for export to S.Korea and may even feature Korean thermal imagers. It will not be fielded with the Russian Army and seems to be entirely an initiative of Omsk Plant. It originates from the now-closed Nikolai Popov's design bureau at Leningrad Kirov Plant (LKZ) and is now developed by Alexander Morozov. The tank is built on a T-80U chassis and will borrow most of its components including FCS from T-80U. The most significant difference between the new tank and T-80 is the completely redesigned turret (at Omsk'97 a full-sized mock-up was presented) and the lengthened hull with 7 roadwheels per side. The new turret will have a larger degree of protection than the current Russian MBTs. The steep slope of forward armor plates on the turret reflects designers' desire to maximize protection from APFSDS rounds in a duel situation, when tanks fight "face to face". For additional protection, the tank is fitted with Kaktus ERA and the new Drozd-2 APS. If this tank goes into service with the Russian army it will probably be armed with the new 152mm main gun.

Russia's latest attempt at a tracked APC is the BMP-4/BTR-T [BMP = Boyevaya Mashina Pyekhota - Infantry Fighting Vehicle / BTR-T = Bronyetransporter-Tyazhelyy - Armored Transporter -Heavy]. It is a modified T-55 chassis with a similar turret to the BTR-80A. The configuration is based on lessons learned in Chechnya, where very heavy losses were inflicted on thin-skinned BMPs and BTRs. In response, this heavy, more survivable APC was designed for improved service in city fighting for possible use by specialized formations trained for urban warfare. It is unclear if the BTR-T will be produced for the Russian Army or for export only. This vehicle, which is too slow to keep pace with modern tanks, is unsuitabile for maneuver warfare though it might find applications in mountainous regions.

In 1994 the Russian Army publicly displayed the BTR-90 [BTR = Bronyetransporter - Armored Transporter]. This vehicle has a slightly larger and higher hull hull than the previous BTR-80, with a pointed nose resembling LAV-25. It is unclear if the BTR-90 will be produced for the Russian Army or for export only. While it has the same turret as the BMP-2 , production vehicles (assuming it is accepted into service) are almost certain to have a different turret. An armored personnel carrier of the new generation- BTR-90, has four types of weapons installed in one and the same section. These are an automatic gun, a machine-gun, a grenade launcher and an anti-tank missile complex. The equipment makes it possible to wage a fight against tanks, artillery pieces, mechanized infantry combat vehicles, helicopters and manpower of the enemy at a distance of over 4 kilometers both from a position and in movement. The high weight-carrying capacity and considerable inner capacity (12 cubic meters) of the eight-wheel BTR-90 allow to transport heavier weapons, such as an anti-tank gun, a 120-millimetre artillery piece and anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles. BTR-90 can move at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour on motorways and over 50 kilometers per hour on highly-broken ground. It can move even if its four wheels have been damaged. Despite a relatively big weight (about 21 tons) BTR-90 can without any preparations move across water obstacles due to two water-jet propellers. The machine can sail at under three-point weather and can easily travel aboard and off a landing ship. BTR-90 is the first of the armored personnel carriers which can be equipped with an automatic control system to carry out an effective control of the transmission and engine and other vitally-important parts of the machine.

The M551 Sheridan. Sheridan tanks sent to Vietnam had their ATGW guidance systems removed. The M551 Sheridan was developed to provide the US Army with a light armored reconnaissance vehicle with heavy firepower. The main armament consists of an 152mm M81 gun/missile launcher capable of firing conventional ammunition and the MGM-51 Shillelagh antitank missile (20 conventional rounds and 8 missiles). Due to problems with the gun-tube-launched antitank missile, the Sheridan was not fielded widely throughout the Army. The gun would foul with caseless ammuniton, gun firing would interfere with missle electronics, and the entire vehicle recoiled with unusual vigor when the gun was fired, since the 152mm gun was too big for the light-weight chassis. The Shillelagh missles were evidently never used in anger. In addition to the main gun/missile launcher, the M551 is armed with a 7.62mm M240 machine gun and a 12.7mm M2 HB antiaircraft machine gun. A Detroit Diesel 6V-53T 300hp turbo-charged V-6 diesel engine and an Allison TG-250-2A poweshift transmission provide the Sheridan's power. Protection for the four-man crew is provided by an aluminum hull and steel turret. Although light enough to be airdrop-capable, the alumninum armour was thin enough to be pierced by heavy machine-gun rounds, and the vehicle was particularly vulnerable to mines. Initially produced in 1966, the M551 was fielded in 1968. 1,562 M551s were built between 1966 and 1970. The Sheridan saw limited action in Vietnam, where many deficiencies were revealed. The missle system was useless against an enemy that did not employ tanks, though the Sheridan saw a lot of use towards the end of the war because of its mobility. Sheridan-equiped units participated in Operation Just Cause in Panama (1989), and was deployed to Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield. As projectile technology advanced, the Sheridan's potential declined and it was phased out of the US inventory beginning in 1978. However, the M551 is still used by the 82nd Airborne Division.

The M60 Patton main battle tank is now primarily found in US Reserve and National Guard units, but served as the primary US main battle tank for two decades prior to the introduction of the M1. Developed from the M48 Patton series, the M60 was fitted with a 105mm main gun and manned by a four-man crew. Criticized for its high profile and limited cross-country mobility, this durable tank proved reliable and underwent many updates over its service life. Initially produced in 1960, over 15,000 M60s were built by Chrysler and first saw service in 1961. Production ended in 1983, but 5,400 older models were converted to the M60A3 variant ending in 1990. This tank saw action with the Israeli forces during the Yom Kippur War in both the Sinai and the Golan Heights. During Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force fielded 210 M60A1s to support the Saudi-Marine effort into Kuwait City.

The M132 was an M113 modified into a mobile flame thrower. The cupola was replaced with the flame gun mounting, and the passenger compartment was taken up by the M10 fuel and pressure unit, which consisted of four 50 gallon (190L) spherical flame fuel tanks, each of which was topped by a spherical air compressor. The M8 cupola group housed the flame gun. The 200 gallons (760L) of fuel enabled the vehicle to fire for 32 seconds at a range of up to 650' (200m).

The M107 175mm self-propelled Gun was largely deployed in NATO areas and its ammunition was commonly used throughout NATO forces. Designed to be part of a common family of weapons utilising the same chassis components, the M107 and M110 were essentially the same vehicle mounting different barrels. These guns fired an HE shell weighing 66.6 kilograms at a muzzle velocity of 914 meters per second. The M107 was used extensively in Vietnam to provide long range firesupport (being able to fire more than 30 km) and took part in numerous cross-DMZ duels with NVA guns. Though withdrawn from American service, vehicles of this type remain in service in the militaries of some other countries.

The M108 105mm Self-Propelled Howitzer was largely deployed in NATO areas and its ammunition was commonly used throughout NATO forces. Vehicles of this type remain in service in the militaries of some other countries, although it has been withdrawn from service in the US military. The M108 was being phased out of the US Army at the time of Vietnam because its gun was considered too light for battlefield support and 155mm calibre had been standardised in NATO.

The self-propelled M-110 8-inch [203 mm] howitzer first entered service with the US Army in 1963. The vehicle itself transports only two projectiles and five men, while the remainder of the ammunition and the crew is on board a tracked M548. The M-110 Howitzer fired a 200-pound projectile out to almost 17 kilometers (16,800-meters). Designed to be part of a common family of weapons utilising the same chassis components, the M107 and M110 were essentially the same vehicle mounting different barrels. The hull of the M110 is identical to that of the M107 and is made of all-welded armour and high-tensile alloy steel with the driver at the front of the hull on the left, the engine to his right and the main armament at the rear.

P10011
The M106 was based on the M113. The mortar was installed in the passenger compartment and fired to the rear. A baseplate and mount were stowed on the vehicle's left rear side, and allowed emplacement of the mortar away from the vehicle. A large circular folding hatch was in the roof above the mortar to provide clearance when firing. The 107mm mortar M30 had originally been the 4.2" mortar M30, but was redesignated when the US Army adopted the metric system. This unit represents the A1 and A2 variants.

The M113A1, informally known as the Gavin, is a lightly armoured full tracked air transportable personnel carrier designed to carry personnel and certain types of cargo. The M113-family was developed from M59 and M75 by Ford and Kaiser Aluminium and Chemical Co. in the late 1950´s. The vehicle is capable of: amphibious operations in streams and lakes; extended cross country travel over rough terrain; and high speed operation on improved roads and highways. The M113 APC was the first modern "battle taxi"; developed to transport infantry forces on the mechanized battlefield. It is fitted with a 2 stroke six cylinder Detroit diesel providing power through a 3 speed automatic gearbox and steering differential. The main armament is a single .50 Cal heavy barrel machine gun, and the secondary armament is a single .30 Cal machine gun. The M113 is built of aircraft quality aluminum which allows it to possess some of the same strengths as steel at a much lighter weight. This distinct weight advantage allows the M113 to utilize a relatively small engine to power the vehicle, as well as carry a large payload cross-country. The vehicle is capable of "swimming" bodies of water.


P10015
This is the Armoured Cavalry variant of the M113, commonly known as the ACAV. It carries an extra 2 machineguns, all protected by armoured shields. This unit represents a six vehicle platoon.

The M113A (Recoilless Rifle) was another variant of the M113 APC. This is a 4 vehicle platoon.


P10017
The M50 mounted six recoilless rifles, 3 per side, on a small turret atop its pyramid-like hull. The rifles were actually 105mm in diameter, but were dubbed 106mm rifles to prevent confusion with earlier 105mm rifles. The .50cal spotting rifles were mounted on top of the upper 106mm weapons, and the .30cal MG mount was in the center on the turret roof. Crew access included a driver's hatch in the front of the vehicle and double doors in the rear for the gunner and loader. All of the 106mm rifles on the M50 could be dismounted from the vehicle, but the top outer rifles were specially designated for ground use. Besides the six 106mm rounds stored in the loaded rifles, there was an eight-round ammunition compartment in the vehicle's bottom rear, and four more rounds were stowed in the right rear of the gunner's compartment. The 106mm rifles could only be loaded from outside the vehicle.


P10018
The M42 Duster was based on the M41 tank, and retained the rear-engine and rear-drive layout. The twin 40mm guns were mounted in an open turret slightly ahead of the hull centerline. The hull featured a large door in the front and two roof hatches ahead of the turret. Early M42s had conical flash hiders on the 40mm guns, but these were replaced by three-pronged flash suppressors later in production. Early Dusters also lacked a muffler for the auxiliary generator engine. One was placed on the front of the right-hand pioneer tool stowage rack, but later in the production run a larger muffler was installed on the rear of the tool rack. The hull roof between the driver and vehicle commander was formed by front- and rear-opening doors on early vehicles, but these were later eliminated. 


P10019
The M163 utilized a modified version of the US Air Force's M61 Vulcan six-barreled 20mm rotary cannon. It was installed in a turret on a modified M113A1, designated as the M741. Modifications to the gun mount changed its designation to M157A1, and the vehicle's to M163A1. The M741 was similar to the M113A1, except that the M741 was equipped with an hydraulic suspension lock-out system to stabilize the M163 when firing. Since the M163 weighed so much more than the  M113, flotation cells were fitted to the sides of the vehicle, and a high-displacement trim vane was added to the front. When the powertrain modifications of the M113A2 were introduced to the M163, the carrier vehicle was redesignated as M741A1. The improved suspension of the M113A2 was not fitted since the M163's suspension was fitted with the lockout device. The M168 gun could fire at a high rate of 3000 rounds per minute in 10-, 30-, 60-, or 100-rounds bursts, and it could also fire at a low rate of 1000 rounds per minute.

The Chaparral provides mobile short-range air defense to defeat low-altitude aircraft. The system is designed to be mobile, self-contained and air transportable. A mobile light air defense system with a turret mounted on a tracked vehicle carrying four ready-to-fire missiles, the Chaparral is a ground launched version of the air-to-air Sidewinder. Chaparral consists of an infrared heat seeking missile, a launcher with a Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sight, and a tracked vehicle. Chaparral was the Army's standard, short range, low altitude air defense system which provided point defense of vital corps areas against direct air attack. The missile is lightweight, supersonic, fire-and-forget, with an infrared homing guidance system capable of engaging fixed-wing and helicopter targets. To enhance missile acquisition range and capability the Rosette Scan Seeker (RSS) guidance section has been developed and is effective against infrared jammers. The missile is carried and handled as an assembled single round of ammunition. Used against helicopters and low flying fixed-wing jets, it homes in on the heat given off by the target aircraft's engine exhaust. Although US forces never fired this missile in combat, the system has been successfully used under such conditions by allies of the United States. The system uses an M-730A2 cargo carrying, self-propelled tracked vehicle "9a" variant of the M-113 Armored Personnel Carrier, which can be made amphibious by adding an existing swim kit. A towed configuration is also available.

The M56, also known as SPAT for Self-Propelled Anti-Tank, was designed as an airborne anti-tank gun. The 90mm gun M54 was ballistically identical to and used the same ammunition as the M36 90mm gun in the M47 tank, and it was fitted with a blast deflector. The M56 was unarmored, and consisted of little more than a gun mounted on a tracked aluminum alloy carrier. There was a small blast shield fitted to the weapon, and this had a windscreen in the left side for the driver to look through. Creature comforts were nonexistent as the vehicle was completely open. The commander sat on top of the radio, and the loader's seat was on top of the right fender stowage box, leaving the gunner and driver as the only crewmen "in" the vehicle. The tires on the M56 could run flat up to 15mi (24km) at up to 15mph (24kph). The ammunition rack was located in the lower rear hull, and the loader was provided with a folding platform from which to feed the gun.

Commonly referred to as the "Chaffee" in honor of Gen. Adna Chaffee, the "Father of the U.S. Armored Force", this tank was designed to replace the M5A1. It was based on the M18 tank destroyer but had a new turret with a light-weight 75mm gun from the B-25H Mitchell Bomber. In 1944 and 1945, a total of 4195 were built. Historically the M24 did not see action in the Pacific during WWII (though it saw extensive use during the Korean conflict less than a decade later). This unit is included in the game for use in hypothetical scenarios dealing with the invasion of Japan.

The M4 "General Sherman" medium tank was based on the earlier M3. It was designed to work with infantry in smashing enemy defense lines, and breaking through to disrupt the enemy's supply and communications network. U.S. doctrine at the time called for tank destroyers to take on enemy tanks, so the Sherman was not given any special anti-tank capability. Its 75mm gun was deemed 'good enough' for exploitation operations. The first use of M4 tanks (aside from the M4A2) was with Company B of the 1st Marine Light Tank Battalion in 12/43. 30,600 Shermans with the 75mm gun were built, using several different types of engines.

After clashes with German Tigers and Panthers in Europe, it quickly became clear that a higher-velocity gun was needed. Originally, it was intended that one third of each Sherman unit be equipped with these improved models. 7968 Shermans with the 76mm gun were built.

Originally conceived as a replacement for the Sherman, with armor and firepower to match the larger, more powerful tanks fielded by the Germans, the earliest form of what would become the M26 Pershing made its first appearance in the spring of 1944 as the medium tank T26E3. Apparently in an attempt to boost the confidence of American tankers, it was redesignated a heavy tank. This was not without rationale, however, as it boasted a 90mm gun and armor that was four inches thick in places. By war's end about 700 M26s had been built. The M26 was also used in the Korean war, reverting back to its original designation as a medium tank. A batch of Pershings was en route to Okinawa when the war ended. Though none of them saw combat vs. the Japanese, this unit has been included in the game for use in hypothetical scenarios dealing with the invasion of Japan.

Designed primarily as an infantry carrier for armored divisions, the M3 Halftrack could carry 13 men, including the driver. It also carried a .30-cal air-cooled machinegun that was pedestal-mounted in the center-forward section of the passenger compartment. (Later a special .50-cal mount was produced; these vehicles were designated M3A1.) U.S. halftracks were faster than similar German vehicles, but had no floor armor, making the troops more vulnerable to mines. Also, their rubber tracks tended to wear out quickly. A total of 12,499 were built. A slightly smaller version - the M2 - was also built, but is represented by the M3 in the game.

The M15A1 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage was an M3 halftrack mounting a 37mm AA gun and two coaxial .50-caliber machineguns. The gun compartment was protected by armored plates. This vehicle was very successful in its AA role. Crews found that they could deceive Axis aircraft into thinking the vehicles were armed only with the machineguns; as overconfident enemy pilots closed to strafe them, the crews would open up with the 37mm gun. Originally assigned to tank destroyer battalions, they were later placed in self-propelled AAA Automatic Weapons battalions. A total of 2332 were built.

The M41 was developed from the T37 series of light tank design that were to replace the Chaffee following World War II. While the M41 was highly manueverable, reasonably potent, simple to operate, and effective in combat, it also used fuel at an alarming rate and was extremely noisy. Its main gun was fully stabilised and very accurate for the time. Produced in the 1950´s by Cadillac´s Cleveland Tank Plant with first production models completed in 1951. By 1953 the M41 Bulldog had totally replaced the M24 Chaffee. The US did not use the M41 in combat in Vietnam but did provide a number of them to the South Vietnamese during 1965 as part of a massive re-equipment program. The M41 was highly effective against North Vietnamese T-54/55 tanks in the Vietnam war with its 76mm gun. However, in Vietnam the M41 suffered from being too light for most traditional battlefield support tasks and too heavy for most internal security tasks.

The M46 used the 90mm gun M3A1 with bore evacuator and single-baffle muzzle brake, as also seen on the M26A1 Pershing. The major differentiation point between the M46 and M26 is the placement of the exhausts: M46 had a rearward-facing muffler on each rear fender, while Pershing had the exhaust vented through a hole in the hull rear plate. Three hundred sixty M46A1s were also built, with improved braking, oil cooling, and fire extinguishing systems.

The LVT(A)4 amphibious tank is an armored vehicle designed to deal with the heavily fortified positions of the Japanese. The first of some 1890 built were only armed with the turret from an M8 HMC, but because of its vulnerability to Japanese close-assault tactics, extra machineguns were soon added to defend against enemy attackers. The LVT(A)4 was intended to be used as an assault gun and/or SP artillery piece for direct or indirect fire. These vehicles were first used in the invasion of Saipan.

The M45 was a modified version of the M26 Pershing, with the normal 90mm gun replaced by a 105mm howitzer for increased anti-personnel effects. It was standardized shortly after the end of the war, and not many were built. Some saw combat during the Korean War. In the game it is available only for hypothetical scenarios dealing with the invasion of Japan, and is assumed to have replaced the Sherman 105 in the "assault gun" role in Pershing-equipped tank battalions.

The Twin 40mm M19 Gun Motor Carriage used a modified version of the M24 Chaffee light tank chassis with a new, open-top turret carrying two 40mm Bofors AA guns. The vehicle was accepted in June 1944, and production ran from April to August 1945 with some 300 examples built. Minor design improvements subsequently led to most being redesignated as M19A1. None saw action during WW2, but they were later used in Korea. In the game this unit is available only for hypothetical scenarios dealing with the invasion of Japan.

The M40 Gun Motor Carriage mounted the M2 155mm gun on a heavily modified M4A3E8 Sherman chassis designed to accept either that gun or an 8-in. howitzer. Intended as the replacement for the aging M12 GMC, development of the M40 (known at that point as the T83) began in early 1944 and production commenced in February 1945. In May of that year the vehicle was standardized as the M40, and 418 were built by the end of the year. The vehicle's use in WW2 was limited to a single test T83 that saw action in Germany near the close of hostilities. None were used in the Pacific Theater, but the unit is available in the game for hypothetical scenarios dealing with the invasion of Japan. The M40's main combat use came in the Korean War.

The M551 Sheridan was developed to provide the US Army with a light armored reconnaissance vehicle with heavy firepower. The main armament consists of an 152mm M81 gun/missile launcher capable of firing conventional ammunition and the MGM-51 Shillelagh antitank missile (20 conventional rounds and 8 missiles). Due to problems with the gun-tube-launched antitank missile, the Sheridan was not fielded widely throughout the Army. The gun would foul with caseless ammuniton, gun firing would interfere with missle electronics, and the entire vehicle recoiled with unusual vigor when the gun was fired, since the 152mm gun was too big for the light-weight chassis. The Shillelagh missles were evidently never used in anger. In addition to the main gun/missile launcher, the M551 is armed with a 7.62mm M240 machine gun and a 12.7mm M2 HB antiaircraft machine gun. A Detroit Diesel 6V-53T 300hp turbo-charged V-6 diesel engine and an Allison TG-250-2A poweshift transmission provide the Sheridan's power. Protection for the four-man crew is provided by an aluminum hull and steel turret. Although light enough to be airdrop-capable, the alumninum armour was thin enough to be pierced by heavy machine-gun rounds, and the vehicle was particularly vulnerable to mines. Initially produced in 1966, the M551 was fielded in 1968. 1,562 M551s were built between 1966 and 1970. The Sheridan saw limited action in Vietnam, where many deficiencies were revealed. The missle system was useless against an enemy that did not employ tanks, though the Sheridan saw a lot of use towards the end of the war because of its mobility. Sheridan-equiped units participated in Operation Just Cause in Panama (1989), and was deployed to Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield. As projectile technology advanced, the Sheridan's potential declined and it was phased out of the US inventory beginning in 1978. However, the M551 is still used by the 82nd Airborne Division.

M60A2 Tank armed with 152mm Gun/missile launcher for the Shillelagh ATGM. Production began in 1974 with 152mm Shillelagh gun/missile system (13 missiles and 33 rounds). Sarcastically referred to as the "Starship" by its crews due to its complexity, the M60A2 was an overall disappointment. During testing, numerous problems with the new turret arose, and production did not commence until 1973, and actually ceased in 1975. Eventually the new turrets were scrapped. Phase-out of the SHILLELAGH/M60A2 system from active Army units was completed in 1981.

Referred to as the Jackson or Slugger, the M36 Gun Motor Carriage was essentially an M10A1 GMC with a new (but still open-topped) turret and a powerful 90mm gun. Because of this firepower, it was the most successful of all the U.S. tank destroyers. Unfortunately, many commanders expected to use this vehicle in the battlefield as a tank - a task for which it was not well suited, with its open top and thinner armor. The realization that real tanks were more adaptable in a fast-changing battle ultimately led to the end of the Tank Destroyer Command in 1946. 1,413 M36 GMCs were produced.

The M7 and M37 were both open topped vehicles and in the "atomic age". It was decided the vehicles should have protection against nuclear blast. Work began in 1948. The first model was equipped with the 105mm howitzer. The components of the M41 Light Tank were used. The rear track idler was placed on the ground to better resist firing shock, since no recoil spade was used. The engine and transmission were moved to the front of the hull. The rear of the hull supported a large turret which could transverse 60 degrees either side of center. Elevation and traverse were manual. The crew and driver were in the turret. Hatches were provided in the roof. A total of 684 were built. Also in service with Belgium, Greece, Japan and Jordan.

The M109A1 used a howitzer with a longer tube than the M126 or M126A1 on the M109, and the bore evacuator had a more slender profile than that on the earlier weapons. The new M185 howitzer allowed use of the M119 propellant charge without affecting the vehicle crew as adversely as the short-tubed howitzer had. The installation of the M185 required minor changes to the turret and a modified travel lock. Bowen-McLaughlin-York (later called BMY Combat Systems) started production of M109A1s in 1974, and these were designated M109A1B. This unit also represents the later improved M109A2/A3/A4 variants.

The M109A6 came with a new fire control system with automatic gun laying, ballistic computation, and inertial navigation and positioning capablities. Rapid-fire bursts were made possible with the assistance of a power-assisted semiautomatic loading mechanism, and the travel lock was also remotely operated. The M284 howitzer was based on the M185, but had a new and stronger torque key to prevent rotation of the howitzer during firing. The M109A6 upgrade was expensive, so a cheaper alternative was also designed; it was dubbed M109A5. These vehicles were armed with the M284 howitzer in the M182 mount, and the NBC protection system from the was fitted. This unit also includes the earlier A5 variant.

The M110A2 was an M110A1 equipped with a double-baffle muzzle brake. The M110A1s had been limited to zone 8 of the M188A1 propelling charge, but the muzzle brake alleviated excessive recoil forces and allowed the howitzer to fire zone 9, which permitted greater range. The M110A2 is a heavy self-propelled artillery piece designed to provide general artillery support to ground troops and close general support to armored columns, and was built in the early 1960's. It is highly mobile and maneuverable, and can be airlifted in large cargo aircraft. The gun is an 8" Howitzer traversing in it's own mount at the rear of the vehicle. The large spade at the rear is required for the massive recoil. It is hydraulically raised and lowered, and keeps the vehicle in place when the gun is fired. With a range of 20 miles, it has pinpoint accuracy. Being mounted on a tracked chassis allows it to support infantry or armor in nearly all terrain conditions. This diesel powered chassis is used for two other vehicles one of which is the M578. It weighs 52,600 lbs, and has a top speed of 34 mph.

The Redeye man portable SAM system. REDEYE was a manportable, shoulder-fired weapon that provided combat troops with the capability of destroying low-flying aircraft. The weapon was effective at ranges and altitudes commensurate with a close-in defense against attacking aircraft. Although the missile was electronically complex, it was designed for simple, reliable operation in the field. In could be carried anywhere a soldier could take a rifle, could be made ready to fire in seconds, and required little training to use. The REDEYE missile, ready for issue in the battle area, came encased in a fiberglass launcher equipped with a carrying strap and sight that also served as a carrying case. The supersonic missile carried an infrared sensor in its nose, which resulted in the name "REDEYE." The sensing device was used as a means of homing on the heat of an aircraft engine. REDEYE carried a conventional high explosive warhead.

This is the Improved HAWK low to medium altitude SAM introduced in 1970. The Phase III product improvement and the latest missile modification were first fielded in the early 1990s to the US Army and US Marine Corps (USMC). The system has maintained it's effectiveness against succeeding generations of high technology aircraft through periodic preplanned product improvement programs. An evolving system, HAWK is now in its Phase III configuration with research and development underway to obtain a tactical missile defense capability.

The M2 was designed as an improvement over the M1A1 90mm AA gun, as it was determined that AA guns should also be able to fire against ground targets. Hence the M2 came to be known as the "triple threat" gun due to its ability to fire at air, sea and ground targets. However, its weight was almost double that of its predecessor. Like the M1A1, it was used in four-gun batteries in both Mobile and Semi-Mobile AAA Gun battalions. A total of 7,831 were built by the end of the war.

The Dragon is a medium range, wire-guided (guidance of the missile to target is controlled by a thin wire), line-of-sight anti-tank/assault missile weapon capable of defeating armored vehicles, fortified bunkers, concrete gun emplacements and other hard targets. The system contains a launcher, tracker and missile. The launcher is an expendable, smooth bore, fiberglass tube with tracker and support bipod, battery, sling and front and back shock absorbers. It is designed to be carried and fired by an individual gunner. A product improvement program (PIP) was initiated by the Marine Corps in 1985 and managed by NSWC Dahlgren. The PIP, designated Dragon II, was designed to increase warhead penetration effectiveness by 85%. The Dragon II missile is actually a retrofit of warheads to the first generation missiles already in the Marine Corps inventory.

The Javelin is a manportable, fire-and-forget, antitank missile employed by dismounted infantry to defeat current and future threat armored combat vehicles. Javelin is intended to replace the Dragon system in the Army and the Marine Corps. JAVELIN has significant improvements over DRAGON. The Javelin's range of approximately 2,500 meters is more than twice that of its predecessor, the Dragon. The Javelin has secondary capabilities against helicopters and ground-fighting positions. It is equipped with an imaging infrared (I2R) system and a fire-and-forget guided missile. The Javelin's normal engagement mode is top-attack to penetrate the tank's most vulnerable armor. It also has a direct-attack capability to engage targets with overhead cover or in bunkers. Its "soft launch" allows employment from within buildings and enclosed fighting positions. The soft launch signature limits the gunner's exposure to the enemy, thus increasing survivability. JAVELIN is also much more lethal than DRAGON. It has a top attack dual warhead capability which can defeat all known enemy armor systems.

The Stinger is a man-portable, shoulder-fired guided missile system which enables the Marine to effectively engage low-altitude jet, propeller-driven and helicopter aircraft. Developed by the United States Army Missile Command, the Stinger was the successor to the Redeye Weapon System. The system is a "fire-and-forget" weapon employing a passive infrared seeker and proportional navigation system. Stinger also is designed for the threat beyond the 1990s, with an all-aspect engagement capability, and IFF (Identification-Friend-or-Foe), improved range and maneuverability, and significant countermeasures immunity. The missile, packaged within its disposable launch tube, is delivered as a certified round, requiring no field testing or direct support maintenance. A separable, reusable gripstock is attached to the round prior to use and may be used again. STINGER will also be employed by the Pedestal-Mounted Stinger Air Defense Vehicle and the Light Armored Vehicle, Air Defense Variant (LAV-AD) during the 1990s.

The M120 120mm Mortar replaces the M30 4.2 Inch Mortar in motorized infantry units. The M120 is transported on the M1100 Trailer by the M998 High Mobility Multi-Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). The M120, like all other US mortars, fires fin-stabilized ammunition from a smooth bore. Although heavy mortars require trucks or tracked mortar carriers to move them, they are still much lighter than field artillery pieces. They outrange light and medium mortars, and their explosive power is much greater.

The M119A1 was originally designed, developed, and produced by Royal Ordnance, Nottingham, England as the L118/L119 British Light Gun. The U.S. Army, based largely on the success of the L118 during the Falkland Island campaign, purchased operational testing weapons to determine the feasibility of using this weapon in the U.S. Army's new Light Division concept. Key in the Army's evaluation was the ability to airlift an entire Division artillery within the severe light division air transport constraints. The M119A1 easily met this critical challenge. Once the operational questions were satisfactorily answered, the U.S. Army negotiated both a production contract and a license agreement (for production within the U.S.) with Royal Ordnance in 1987. The M119A1 has greater range, is lighter and has a more rapid rate of fire than its predecessor, the M102, which it replaces in light/ airmobile/airborne units.

The M-102 105mm howitzer is used in air mobile (helicopter) and light infantry operations. The weapon carriage is lightweight welded aluminum, mounted on a variable recoil mechanism. The weapon is manually loaded and positioned, and can be towed by a 2 ton truck or High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), can be transported by UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, or can be dropped by parachute with airborne units. When emplaced, the howitzer's high volume of fire compensates in large measure for the lower explosive weight of the projectile compared to the Army's 155mm and 8-inch howitzers. Since 1964, the Army has acquired 1,150 M-102 towed howitzers. This weapon is being replaced by the M-119-series 105mm howitzer

The M167 VADS Vulcan Air Defense System, which has been withdrawn from service, was a towed short-range air defense gun intended to protect forward area combat elements and rear area critical assets. It also protected against lightly armored ground targets. The M167A2 VADS was a modified M167A1 VADS with an improved fire control subsystem. The improvement was obtained by replacing the disturbed reticle sight with a director reticle sight, the sight current generator with a digital processor, and the azimuth drive assembly with a harmonic drive. It also had an os bite implemented within the system's electronics.

Tomahawk is an all-weather submarine or ship-launched land-attack cruise missile. After launch, a solid propellant propels the missile until a small turbofan engine takes over for the cruise portion of flight. Tomahawk is a highly survivable weapon. Radar detection is difficult because of the missile's small cross-section, low altitude flight. Similarly, infrared detection is difficult because the turbofan engine emits little heat. Systems include Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver; an upgrade of the optical Digital Scene Matching Area Correlation (DSMAC) system; Time of Arrival (TOA) control, and improved 402 turbo engines.

The Landing Craft, Personnel, was a military adaptation of a commercial motor boat built by the Higgins Company of new Orleans. It had a wooden hull, and troops had to climb over its sides to (dis)embark. The unit in the game represents the LCP(L), which was a large version of the boat. 2193 of these were built, followed by 2631 LCP(R) which had a narrow bow ramp to facilitate loading and unloading.


P10604
The Landing Craft, Vehicle Personnel, was an improved version of the LCV, featuring armor plating and twin .30-cal machinegun armament. As with its predecessor, a bow ramp allowed the LCVP to carry a light vehicle or gun. 23,358 LCVPs were built, beginning in 1943.


P10605
The Landing Craft, Assault, was a 1939 British design. It was slower than the LCVP and less well armed, but offered its passengers superior protection against light weapons and shell splinters. 2030 LCA were built, and it was the standard infantry landing craft of British forces. Small numbers were used by U.S. forces as well. 


P10606
The Landing Craft, Mechanized, was a British design originally intended for the transport of a light tank. The most common model was the LCM(3), built mainly by the Higgins Company of new Orleans. This version could carry a medium tank. All LCMs were armored.


P10607
The Landing Craft, Tank, was a British design intended for the transport of several light or medium tanks. The original model was the LCT(1), and by the end of the war the British were using the much larger LCT(4). In the meantime the US produced the LCT(5) and LCT(6).


P10609
The LVTP5 was a large vehicle with an inverted V-shaped bow that made for more efficient water operation, and it broke with previous LVT designs by having the tracks set low in the hull with an internal return channel rather than the all-round track design of its predecessors. Infantry access was via a bow ramp, and the crew and passenger compartment was at the front of the vehicle, with the powerplant to the rear. There were one large and two smaller access hatches over the passenger compartment, and two more small hatches provided access to the engine. The vehicle tracks were made with inverted grousers which propelled the LVTP5 in the water and also served as center guide teeth. There were two track pins, inner and outer, on each shoe, which left a hole in the middle of the track block that allowed the grouser to operate more efficiently in the water. The road wheels on the LVTP5 were paired on either side of the center guide teeth, giving a total of 36 wheels per track. One wheel was surrounded by a solid rubber tire, and these carried the vehicle under normal circumstances. The other wheel was steel-rimmed and helped absorb shock loads. When fitted, the machine gun cupola was installed at the front of the vehicle between the driver and commander. When operating in the water, weight for the LVTP5 was reduced to 81,780lbs (37,100kg), and it could then carry only 25 passengers. The ground clearance down the center of the vehicle was 18" (46cm), which tapered down toward the tracks.

The LVTP7, which entered the Marine Corps inventory in the early 1970s, was a quantum improvement over the short-ranged LVTP5 of the Vietnam era. Weighing in at 26 tons (23,991 kg) combat-loaded, and with a three-man crew, it can carry 25 Marines. With a road speed of 45 mph (72 km/h), it is also fully amphibious with water speeds up to 8 mph (13 km/h). It is not as heavily armed or armored as the Army's Bradley infantry fighting vehicle; on the other hand, the M2A1 Bradley carries only seven troop passengers.

The Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) transports weapons systems, equipment, cargo and personnel of the assault elements of the Marine Air/Ground Task Force both from ship to shore and across the beach. The landing craft air cushion (LCAC) is a high-speed, over-the-beach fully amphibious landing craft capable of carrying a 60-75 ton payload. Capable of operating from existing and planned well deck ships, it is used to transport weapons systems, equipment, cargo and personnel from ship to shore and across the beach. The advantages of air-cushion landing craft are numerous. They can carry heavy payloads, such as an M-1 tank, at high speeds. Their payload and speed mean more forces reach the shore in a shorter time, with shorter intervals between trips.

UH-1D Huey Recon. The most widely used military helicopter, the Bell UH-1 series Iroquois, better known as the "Huey", began arriving in Vietnam in 1963. Before the end of the conflict, more than 5,000 of these versatile aircraft were introduced into Southeast Asia. "Hueys" were used for MedEvac, command and control, and air assault; to transport personnel and materiel; and as gun ships. Considered to be the most widely used helicopter in the world, with more than 9,000 produced from the 1950s to the present, the Huey is flown today by about 40 countries. Bell (model 205) UH-1D (1963) had a longer fuselage than previous models, increased rotor diameter, increased range, and a more powerful Lycoming T53-L-11 1100 shp engine, with growth potential to the Lycoming T53-L-13 1400 shp engine. A distinguishing characteristic is the larger cargo doors, with twin cabin windows, on each side. The UH-1D, redesigned to carry up to 12 troops, with a crew of two, reached Vietnam in 1963. The UH-1D has a range of 293 miles (467km) and a speed of 127 mph (110 knots).

Loach. The Boeing (McDonnell Douglas) (formerly Hughes model 369) OH-6A, was designed for use as a military scout during the Vietnam war to meet the U.S. Army's need for an extremely maneuverable light observation helicopter (LOH program). The Hughes OH-6A Cayuse was quite effective when teamed with the AH-1G Cobra attack helicopter as part of what were known as "Pink Teams". The OH-6A "Loach" would find targets by flying low, "trolling" for fire, and lead in a Cobra, or "Snake", to attack. The OH-6A could be armed with the M27 armament subsystem, the M134 six-barrel 7.62mm "minigun" or the M129 40mm grenade launcher on the XM8 armament subsystem.

UH-1D Huey. The most widely used military helicopter, the Bell UH-1 series Iroquois, better known as the "Huey", began arriving in Vietnam in 1963. Before the end of the conflict, more than 5,000 of these versatile aircraft were introduced into Southeast Asia. "Hueys" were used for MedEvac, command and control, and air assault; to transport personnel and materiel; and as gun ships. Considered to be the most widely used helicopter in the world, with more than 9,000 produced from the 1950s to the present, the Huey is flown today by about 40 countries. Bell (model 205) UH-1D (1963) had a longer fuselage than previous models, increased rotor diameter, increased range, and a more powerful Lycoming T53-L-11 1100 shp engine, with growth potential to the Lycoming T53-L-13 1400 shp engine. A distinguishing characteristic is the larger cargo doors, with twin cabin windows, on each side. The UH-1D, redesigned to carry up to 12 troops, with a crew of two, reached Vietnam in 1963. The UH-1D has a range of 293 miles (467km) and a speed of 127 mph (110 knots).

Choctaw. Designed to a U.S. Navy specification to replace the HO2S anti-submarine helicopter, the prototype XHSS-1 first flew in 1954. Keeping the nose mounted R-1820, but with a new fuselage, main and tail rotors and transmission system, the HSS-1 Seabat (later SH-34) was a marked improvement over its predecessor. The U.S. Marine Corps ordered the Seabat as a troop carrier redesignated the HUS-1 Seahorse (later UH-34). The U.S. Army also purchased this helicopter using the designation H-34 Choctaw. The type was exported widely and built under license in France and the UK. The H-34 saw extensive service in Southeast Asia. This unit also represents the earlier H-19 Chickasaw.

UH-1C Gunship. The scourge of marauding Viet Cong forces, armed helicopter gunships operated by the United States Army and Marines firmly established these remarkable machines as an integral part of CAS tactics. Gunships were being developed during and after the Korean War. These early gunships were unable to carry adequate payload, with which to support ground troops, due to their underpowered piston engines. The use of a gas turbine to power the UH-1 revolutionized helicopter design. The hit and run nature of the guerilla strikes encountered by the US forces in Vietnam necessitated helicopters to transport troops to a combat zone in minimum time. It was soon realized that the troops required a weapon system that could provide lengthy accurate fire support. Troop carrying UH-1Bs were modified in the field to fire rockets and side mounted M-60 machine guns. Bell Aerosystems later delivered factory built UH-1C gunships with improved capabilities including an electrical gun sight to replace the grease panicle marks on the windshield. UH-1C Huey gunship. Fitted with a nose mounted M-5 40mm grenade launcher and four M-60 side mounted machine guns and two M-200A-1 rocket pods.

Built as a private venture and first flown in December 1949, the model 305 was winning contender in an April 1950 US Army competition for a tandem two-seat liaison and observation monoplane. Ordered in June 1950 as the L-19 and named Bird Dog, the aircraft was redesigned O-1 in 1962. The first production Bird Dog was rolled out in November 1950. Subsequently a total of 2499 of the O-1A version was built, a further 66 being completed as O-1Bs for the US Marine Corps, 307 having dual controls as TO-1Ds and the definitive series model  being the O-1E, of which 494 were delivered. The last mentioned variant, introduced in 1957, featured uprated equipment, and served with distinction with the USAF in Vietnam. Fuji in Japan built 14 L-19E-1 and eight L-19E-2 instrument trainers after delivery of 107 ex-US Army L-19As to the JGSDF in 1954/55, with the local name of SOYOKAZE (Breeze). Despite their age, more than 200 Bird Dogs remain in active military inventories worldwide, the principal operators being the South Korean Air Force(20), and teh army air components of Pakistan (40), Thailand (28),Turkey (50); other operators include Austria (5), Italy (3) and Malta (5).

In the early 1960s, Air Force Systems Command began experimenting with side-firing weapons systems for possible use in Vietnam in point defense and night Close Air Support (CAS) roles. In late 1964, the first gunship conversion of a World War II Douglas C-47D was done. The gunship version of the C-47D was initially designated FC-47D (Fighter-Cargo), but was changed to AC (Attack Cargo) primarily because of complaints by traditional fighter pilots. The aircraft had several nicknames: "Spooky", Puff the Magic Dragon", and "Puff". The AC-47D(S/N 43-48579) was equipped with three SUU-11A 7.62 mm "miniguns" with a 6,000 round per minute rate of fire. The miniguns were mounted in the aft left fuselage, one gun was installed in the aft passenger door area. The other two guns were mounted just forward of the passenger door with the gun barrels pointed out window ports. The AC-47D carried about 16,500 rounds of ammunition on a typical mission.

The AC-119G was truly the follow-on aircraft to Spooky. It was built with the TIC support mission in mind. If the G models could wrangle an invitation to the party, they'd at least come "well dressed." The Flying Boxcars were armed with four 7.62mm SUU-IIA/IA minigun pods, one more minigun than the three carried aboard the AC-47s, and with the increased ammo supply afforded by the larger payload capacity, the AC-119G was about 25% more effective than the AC-47. Later aircraft were fitted with the G.E. MXU-470 minigun modules designed specifically for gunship-type aircraft. The aircraft to be modified were drawn from Air Force Reserve units, many of them coming from the 434th Troop Carrier Wing in Indiana. The 434th would also supply many of the AC-119 crews. In addition to the gun package, AC-119Gs were fitted with an AVQ-8 2OKW Xenon light, a Night Observation Sight which magnified starlight and moonlight several thousand times to provide a surprisingly clear, if still green, picture of the terrain below. The NOD's biggest drawback was that the tracer rounds fired by the gunship's miniguns provided so much more light that they effectively shut the NOD/NOS system down. As a result, flares became the primary means of identifying ground targets. In addition, the Shadow had an LAU-74A flare launcher, General Precision fire control computer, and a TRW fire control safety display to ensure that the aircraft did not fire on friendly troops. Internal power for all the new equipment was supplied by a Garrett Industries 60 KVA (APU) auxiliary power unit, the same one used in Boeing 727 airliners. For crew safety, ceramic armor was added and APR-25 and -26 ECM gear installed. Carrying 31,500 rounds of ammunition and 24 flares, it was more than capable of hurting anything it caught in its sights.

The AC130H Gunship, known as "Spectre". Spectre has an impressive combat history. During Vietnam, gunships destroyed more than 10,000 trucks and were credited with many life-saving close air support missions. AC-130s suppressed enemy air defense systems and attacked ground forces during Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada. This enabled the successful assault of Point Salines airfield via airdrop and airland of friendly forces. The gunships had a primary role during Operation Just Cause in Panama by destroying Panamanian Defense Force Headquarters and numerous command and control facilities by surgical employment of ordnance in an urban environment. As the only close air support platform in the theater, Spectres were credited with saving the lives of many friendly personnel. During Operation Desert Storm, Spectres provided air base defense and close air support for ground forces. AC-130s were also used during Operations Continue Hope and United Shield in Somalia, providing close air support for United Nations ground forces. The gunships have most recently played a pivotal role during operations in support of the NATO mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina, providing air interdiction against key targets in the Sarajevo area.

Starting life as a C-119G, the Fairchild-Hiller people added all the equipment needed to bring the aircraft to C-119K standard. Then the gunship modifications began. The aircraft were brought to AC-119G standards then had the following equipment added specifically for the truck-hunting role: In addition to the two J-85 jet engines, the K model bolstered the four-minigun armament of the G with 31,000 rounds of ammunition plus two M61AI 20mm multibarrel Gattling cannons and 4,500 rounds of 20 mm ammunition." Stinger also carried the G-model NOD/NOS. The FLIR was noticeable improvement over the seldom use NOD on the 17th SOS gunships because the FLIR did not require starlight or moonlight. Although Stinger NOS/Navigators used it quite extensively. The K models were also equipped with a state-of-the-art Texas Instruments AN/AAD-4 Forward looking infrared (FLIR) system, AN/APN-147 Doppler terrain following radar Forward Looking Infrared, Motorola AN/APQ-133 Sidelooking beacon tracking radar, and Texas Instruments AN/APQ-136 search radar with moving target indicator mode. In addition to the G model flare equipment, both gunships were also equipped with a door-mounted 20-kilowatt (KW) "white light" illuminator. Its 1.5-million candlepower variable beam could light up a football stadium with superb clarity on the darkest nights. Of course, it also told the bad guys below exactly where to point their weapons, a drawback that discouraged the gunship crews from using the illuminator whenever possible. The illuminator on the K model also had an infrared mode, (I'm not sure about the G model.) but this was no guarantee the enemy gunners couldn't follow the beam back to the aircraft

The Sikorsky S-56 (also known as the CH-37 Mojave) came into being as an assault transport for the U.S. Marine Corps, although some 60 per cent of those eventually built were to meet U.S. Army orders. The original requirement was for an assault transport helicopter capable of air-lifting 26 troops and their equipment. The S-56 was Sikorsky's first twin-engined helicopter, although the traditional single main rotor layout was retained, this being a 5-blade unit designed to be able to sustain the aircraft in flight with one blade shot away. For several years the S-56 was the western world's largest and fastest military helicopter, and held two height-with-payload records from 1956-59. It was also the first production helicopter to have a retractable main undercarriage, this being housed at the extremities of the small stub wings in the pods containing the engines.

The M113A1, informally known as the Gavin, is a lightly armoured full tracked air transportable personnel carrier designed to carry personnel and certain types of cargo. The M113-family was developed from M59 and M75 by Ford and Kaiser Aluminium and Chemical Co. in the late 1950´s. The vehicle is capable of: amphibious operations in streams and lakes; extended cross country travel over rough terrain; and high speed operation on improved roads and highways. The M113 APC was the first modern "battle taxi"; developed to transport infantry forces on the mechanized battlefield. It is fitted with a 2 stroke six cylinder Detroit diesel providing power through a 3 speed automatic gearbox and steering differential. The main armament is a single .50 Cal heavy barrel machine gun, and the secondary armament is a single .30 Cal machine gun. The M113 is built of aircraft quality aluminum which allows it to possess some of the same strengths as steel at a much lighter weight. This distinct weight advantage allows the M113 to utilize a relatively small engine to power the vehicle, as well as carry a large payload cross-country.

LVTH6 was the armored amphibian version of the LVTP-5. The hulls were identical, but the H6 had a turret armed with a 105mm howitzer installed over the cargo compartment. The vehicle commander and loader had their own hatches in the turret. For water operations, the weight of the LVTH6 was reduced to 84,200lbs (38,200kg), and the howitzer ammunition was reduced to 100 rounds. Ground clearance under the center of the vehicle was 17" (43cm). 


P10907
LVTE1 was the engineer version of the LVTP-5. A large, toothed, V-shaped excavator blade was mounted on the front of the vehicle, and it could clear a path through a minefield that was 16" (41cm) deep and 12 feet (3.7m) wide. Plastic foam-filled buoyancy tanks were fitted to the rear of the blade to help the LVTE1 keep the right attitude while afloat. A rocket-propelled line charge was carried in either side of the cargo compartment, and these were elevated hydraulically. The used line charge pallet was discarded after firing. The familiar machine gun cupola was installed between the commander and driver.

The M59 was designed as a lower-cost alternative to the M75 armoured infantry vehicle. The engines and transmissions of the M59 were in either sponson, leaving the cargo and personnel area free. Troop access to the vehicle was through a large rear ramp which was fitted with an escape hatch, and through roof hatches over the passenger compartment. M59s were amphibious, and a trim vane was located on the hull front slope. Early vehicles were fitted with the Model 300MG Hydramatic transmissions. Early M59s also featured a rotating mount for an M2HB .50cal machine gun around the commander's vision cupola. The commander's cupola on mid-production vehicles sported periscopes instead of the earlier vision blocks, but retained the external .50cal MG mount. Late-production M59s were fitted with the M13 cupola, which was armed with an internally-mounted .50cal machine gun. The early cupolas produced a height of 102.6" (260.6cm), and the mid-production cupolas were 112.5" (285.8cm) tall. Vehicles lacking the M13 cupola could only stow 1470 rounds of .50cal ammunition.

The M113A3 is a product improved version of the M113A2 with improved transmission and engine. The U.S. Army first identified the need to up-power the M113A2 carrier in the mid-1970s. This need was driven by increases in vehicle weight and a requirement to increase the mobility and survivability of the system. As a result, the "RISE" powertrain was developed and tested at Yuma and Aberdeen Proving Grounds. However, application of the new powertrain was deferred due to a lack of funds.

M2A2 introduced heavier armor to the M2 line. The trim vane was deleted and replaced with steel applique armor. This armor was also added to the vertical hull sides and bottom, and fittings on this applique armor allowed for the attachment of passive or explosive reactive armor tiles. The armor tiles added ~6000lbs (2700kg) to the vehicle's weight, 13" (33cm) to its width, and another .9psi (.06kg/cm²) to its ground pressure. Spaced laminate armor was installed to the hull rear and spaced laminate track skirts protected the lower hull. The infantry firing ports in the hull sides were covered by the new applique armor, however the two in the rear ramp were retained. The protective cover was omitted from the M240C machine gun and a semicircular shield was attached to the turret rear to add more stowage space as well as act as spaced armor. Kevlar spall liners were added to critical areas. One of the infantrymen in the M2A2, the man seated directly behind the driver, was omitted. With the deletion of that man, the periscope at that position was removed as well. Wire cutters were added in front of the driver's position, and a cover was placed over the periscopes in his hatch. A maintenance stand was stowed on the hull left side. This was used when working on the engine since the M2A2 was built without a trim vane, which had previously provided a handy place to stand. The M2A2 also featured new headlight clusters.

The YMGM-157B is a terminal homing missile that utilizes a fiber optic data link to transmit and receive command and sensor data with a mobile fire unit to find and defeat threat targets masked behind hills, foliage or in urban settings. The missile employs a high resolution infrared video camera in the nose of the missile to provide the gunner with a unobstructed view of the surrounding terrain from the missile's perspective. The gunner can pan the missile's seeker to investigate targets of opportunity as the missile flies a non-ballistic flight path around or over obstructing terrain to pre-selected target areas. Once launched, the missile utilizes inertial instruments to automatically navigate the missile along a preprogrammed flight path up to 15 kilometers in length. The gunner is utilized as a discriminating man-in-the-loop sensor to identify and designate targets and to assist in refining the missile's aimpoint on vulnerable locations of the target. A top attack trajectory, exceptional terminal precision and a shaped charge kill mechanism work together as an extremely lethal combination against heavily armed targets masked behind cover. No other Army missile provides this kind of man-in-the- loop capability to minimize fratricide while inflicting precise kills in an integrated battlefield. It is mounted on a HMMWV chassis.

The FMC XM8 was designed to combine a tank's firepower with a highly mobile, air-droppable vehicle. AGS was intended to be the Army's new combat vehicle, but in the form of a highly deployable, light-weight vehicle, with high fire-power and reconfigurable armor protection. The AGS was intended to replace the M551A1 Sheridan in the 82nd Airborne Division, and was expected to replace TOW-equipped HMMWVs in the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment (Light). A total of 237 systems were planned for procurement. The cancellation of the M8 Armored Gun System left the US Army airborne forces dangerously low on firepower.

LOSAT is a dedicated antitank weapon system providing a high rate of extremely lethal fire at ranges exceeding tank main gun range, making it capable of defeating any known or projected armor system. LOSAT is a precision engagement system that enhances the Army's ability to dominate the ground maneuver battle. The key attraction of LOSAT is the tremendous overmatch lethality of the KEM that defeats all future predicted armored combat vehicles. The system utilizes a Heavy High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) heavy chassis, hypervelocity kinetic energy missiles (KEM), a second generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR/TV) acquisition sensor and has a crew of two. The LOSAT system consists of a Humvee armed with four ready-to-fire missiles, with eight missiles towed behind in a resupply trailer. The LOSAT System carries four ready missiles via two two-pack containers. LOSAT can operate autonomously or with other systems using its digitized Command and Control capability. The missile accelerates to 5000 feet per second, flies to maximum range in less than four seconds and delivers five times the kinetic energy of current tank rounds. Range of the LOSAT missile is about 5 km. The fire control system allows the gunner/commander to acquire and auto-track up to three targets. Once a launch consent is issued, the system automatically initializes and guides the missiles to the targets in a sequential manner.

The initial Linebacker build is a short range air defense (SHORAD) Stinger missile system configured on an Operation Desert Storm (ODS) Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV/M2A2). In the summer of 1998, the M6 Bradley Linebacker (BL) began to replace the fielded SHORAD Bradley Stinger Fighting Vehicle (BSFV). As the BFV upgrades to the M2/A3 vehicle, future Linebackers (fielding to begin in 2003) will eventually replace the ODS M2/A2 which will roll down to replace any remaining active Army Force Package 2-3 BSFV units. The standard vehicle mounted launcher (SVML) carrying 4 Stinger missiles is added to the 25mm gun turret, eliminating the tube-launched, optically-tracked, wired-guided (TOW) missile which is standard to the BFV and the BSFV. In addition to the Stinger launching system, the Linebacker carries standard Bradley Fighting Vehicles weapons: the 25mm gun and 7.62 coaxial machine gun. The Linebacker system allows shoot-on-the-move and slew-to-cue capability, replacing the BSFV "MANPADS-Under-Armor (MUA) Dismounted Stinger Team" employment concept.

The HIMARS design concept will include the familiar launcher module, fire control, and digital command and control systems, and a self-reload capability. The HIMARS uses the same command, control, and communications, as well as the same crew, as the MLRS launcher but carries only one rocket or missile pod. It will roll on and off a C–130 transport aircraft and, when carried with a combat load, will be ready to operate within 15 minutes of landing. The HIMARS will fire either six MLRS rockets or one Army Tactical Missile. Because of the lighter weight of using one pod rather than two, it will have a faster time, compared to the current M270, from the point the fire mission is received to the actual munition firing.

The M53 was based on components of the M48 Patton tank. The engine and transmission were at the front, and the large turret was at the rear. The M53 resembled a scaled-up M52 105mm howitzer, and even featured the same crew arrangements, with everyone in the turret. Improvements in the M48 tank were grafted onto the M53 as they appeared; the AV-1790-7B engine and CD-850-4B transmission were introduced, and a steering wheel replaced the wobble stick control. The 8" self-propelled howitzer M55 utilized the same chassis, and most M53s were converted to M55s by the 1960s.

The M103, the Heavy Tank variant of the M48 series, was designed to counter to the Soviet's JS III heavy tanks, which outclassed all other US tanks during the immediate period following World War II. At nearly 65 tons, it was by far the heaviest tank placed in service by the US Army prior to the advent of the M1 Abrams. The strong family resemblance to the M48 was based on the components common to both vehicles. The suspension was similar to that of the M48, though modified to carry the increased weight. The M103 had one additional road wheel on each side, though unlike the M48 most of the M103's torsion arms had shock absorbers. Six return rollers were fitted, and the final-drives had much larger exposed gear-boxes.

LOSAT is a precision engagement system that enhances the Army's ability to dominate the ground maneuver battle. The key attraction of LOSAT is the tremendous overmatch lethality of the KEM that defeats all future predicted armored combat vehicles. The system utilizes a Heavy High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) heavy chassis, hypervelocity kinetic energy missiles (KEM), a second generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR/TV) acquisition sensor and has a crew of two. The LOSAT system consists of a Humvee armed with four ready-to-fire missiles, with eight missiles towed behind in a resupply trailer. The LOSAT System carries four ready missiles via two two-pack containers. LOSAT can operate autonomously or with other systems using its digitized Command and Control capability. The missile accelerates to 5000 feet per second, flies to maximum range in less than four seconds and delivers five times the kinetic energy of current tank rounds. Range of the LOSAT missile is about 5 km. The fire control system allows the gunner/commander to acquire and auto-track up to three targets. Once a launch consent is issued, the system automatically initializes and guides the missiles to the targets in a sequential manner.

The Stryker Mobile Gun System carries a 105mm cannon, the same gun tube as the one on the original M-1 Abrams tank. This is not a tank replacement, but it gives a direct fire capability to support the infantry elements. The principal function of the Mobile Gun System (MGS) is to provide rapid and lethal direct fires to support assaulting infantry. The MGS is a key weapons overmatch platform to ensure mission success and survivability of the Combined Arms Company.

The M75 armored infantry vehicle was based on the chassis of the cargo tractor T43E1, which used the same suspension as the 76mm gun tank M41. M75 resembled a box on tracks, as many armored personnel carriers do, and its exhaust pipe emerged from the front of the vehicle's roof and vented the engine exhaust to the right. The brush guard for the right headlight cluster was extended to protect the tailpipe as well later in the production run. Early M75s had thinner roof armor at .375" (.953cm), and the first two and last two road wheels on each track were dampened with shock absorbers on early vehicles. The driver and commander each had a vision cupola, and the driver's could be equipped with an infrared periscope in late vehicles. Two large hinged rear roof doors opened towards the center of the vehicle over the passenger compartment, and infantry access was provided by two large doors in the rear of the hull.

Ordered in June 1950 as the L-19 and named Bird Dog, the aircraft was redesigned O-1 in 1962. The first production Bird Dog was rolled out in November 1950. Subsequently a total of 2499 of the O-1A version was built, a further 66 being completed as O-1Bs for the US Marine Corps, 307 having dual controls as TO-1Ds and the definitive series model  being the O-1E, of which 494 were delivered. The last mentioned variant, introduced in 1957, featured uprated equipment, and served with distinction with the USAF in Vietnam. Fuji in Japan built 14 L-19E-1 and eight L-19E-2 instrument trainers after delivery of 107 ex-US Army L-19As to the JGSDF in 1954/55, with the local name of SOYOKAZE (Breeze). Despite their age, more than 200 Bird Dogs remain in active military inventories worldwide, the principal operators being the South Korean Air Force(20), and teh army air components of Pakistan (40), Thailand (28),Turkey (50); other operators include Austria (5), Italy (3) and Malta (5).

The M60 Patton main battle tank is now primarily found in US Reserve and National Guard units, but served as the primary US main battle tank for two decades prior to the introduction of the M1. Developed from the M48 Patton series, the M60 was fitted with a 105mm main gun and manned by a four-man crew. Criticized for its high profile and limited cross-country mobility, this durable tank proved reliable and underwent many updates over its service life. Initially produced in 1960, over 15,000 M60s were built by Chrysler and first saw service in 1961. Production ended in 1983, but 5,400 older models were converted to the M60A3 variant ending in 1990. This tank saw action with the Israeli forces during the Yom Kippur War in both the Sinai and the Golan Heights. During Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force fielded 210 M60A1s to support the Saudi-Marine effort into Kuwait City.

The Hughes BGM-71A TOW (Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided) anti-tank missile was conceived for the U.S. Army as a replacement for the recoiless rifle. It consists of a fibreglass tube, a tripod mounting, a traversing and sighting unit, an electronic package, and the TOW missile in a shipping/launch container which forms an extension of the launch tube. Weight of the complete system is 175lbs, but it can be broken down into four units for transport by infantry. The system is superior to earlier systems, and to contemporary Soviet systems, in that the firer only has to keep the sighting crosshairs on the target itelf -- the missile is then automatically directed at the target. The U.S. shipped large numbers of these missiles to the Israelis during the war.

The need for heavier armaments for soldiers when fighting against aircraft was answered with this missile system.  This was essentially a shoulder-fired light anti-aircraft missile system carried by a single infantry unit, enabling an inconspicuous attacker to cause a relatively large amount of damage.  In later years, "disposable" rocket launchers were built, and their weight in action was around five pounds.

The Hughes BGM-71A TOW (Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided) anti-tank missile was conceived for the U.S. Army as a replacement for the recoiless rifle. It consists of a fibreglass tube, a tripod mounting, a traversing and sighting unit, an electronic package, and the TOW missile in a shipping/launch container which forms an extension of the launch tube. Weight of the complete system is 175lbs, but it can be broken down into four units for transport by infantry. The system is superior to earlier systems, and to contemporary Soviet systems, in that the firer only has to keep the sighting crosshairs on the target itelf -- the missile is then automatically directed at the target. The U.S. shipped large numbers of these missiles to the Israelis during the war.

The MLE 06 65mm Mountain Gun was used to equip several mountain artillery and fortress units. This weapon had an unusual recoil mechanism. Called the counter- or soft-recoil system, the barrel travels forward when the lanyard is pulled, and the gun fires when the barrel's forward travel limit is reached. This allows the barrel's momentum to offset the recoil.

The recoilless rifle was an artillery piece that had been specially engineered for light weight so that it could be parachuted with airborne forces or carried by pack. The low weight was achieved by eliminating the recoil mechanism. The recoil mechanism was no longer needed because the propellant gases were emitted to the rear of the unit. The gases were directed through a vents attached to the end of the barrel, which made it dangerous to stand behind, when it was fired.

Originally conceived as a means to get the 17-pounder into service, as quickly as possible, the Self-Propelled Gun "Archer" was a converted late model British infantry tank. The 17pdr main gun was fitted so that its barrel pointed backwards, obliging the crew to "advance backwards" into battle. This though was not a great problem because, like all tank destroyer designs, this vehicle worked best from an ambush position and was never intended for offensive operations. First used in action in October 1944 this vehicle proved so useful and capable in its role it remained in service with the British (and many other) Armies for many years.

This unit represents a light truck/Jeep towing a 107mm recoilless rifle.  The recoilless rifle was an artillery piece that had been specially engineered for light weight so that it could be parachuted with airborne forces or carried by pack. The low weight was achieved by eliminating the recoil mechanism. The recoil mechanism was no longer needed because the propellant gases were emitted to the rear of the unit. The gases were directed through a venturi attached to the end of the barrel, which made it dangerous to stand behind, when it was fired.

The 6pdr gun was hopelessly outclassed as an anti-tank weapon. To rectify the situation an APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) shot was developed for it. With this new shell the weapon was given a new lease on life.

An increase in the production of HE shells also allowed limited infantry support to be given.

Although the Model 42 was less bulky than its predecessor, it was slightly heavier, and more difficult to produce. Ballistics were little changed from those of the more primitive 76-36, and armor piercing shot was a standard issue. In 1942, the 76-39 was replaced by the superb ZIS-3, which had the same ballistics, but featured a simplified carriage which made the gun easier to handle and produce.

The 57mm anti-tank gun was the main stay for the Soviets starting in 1941. Using the carriage of a ZIS-3 76mm field gun, the Model 1941 57mm ZIS-2 was nearly twice as heavy as earlier Soviet anti-tank guns, but with its heavier round and longer barrel, the 57mm was a far more capable weapon. In 1943, 57-41 anti-tank gun production was superseded by that of the PTP obr. 43, also of 57mm, which differed largely in using the tubular carriage of another version of the ZIS-3 76mm gun. The performance of the two guns were nearly identical.

The Infantry Tank Mk II, Matilda II, (A12) was a much larger tank than the Matilda I. With its four-man crew serving its 2pdr gun, protected by the heaviest armor, it was more than a match for any tank in existence. Produced in large numbers (2,987 until 1943) and used in all theaters of the war and even used post-war by Australian reserve forces, it roundly deserved its epitaph of being "Queen of The Battlefield". Sometimes known as the Matilda Senior, it was first used in any quantity against the Germans at the battle of Arras in France. Wherein, a small number of Matildas advancing in the dawn's cold light blunted the tip of Hitler's armored spearhead. Scattering German soldiers to the four winds in rout, the attack stalled only as the Matildas, advancing now without support, bore down on Rommel's own divisional headquarters where they were stopped by the might of 88mm AA guns nearby. What had been only the day before a race to the Channel became a cautious advance, and the BEF was saved. Using the time gained, the majority of the BEF was able to withdraw to Dunkirk. Employed in nearly all the important desert battles, this tank was often called upon to act in the cruiser role where despite its slow speed it distinguished itself.

This was the U.S. M22 "Locust" Light Tank, designed from the outset as an air-transportable tank following a design competition between J Walter Christie, GMC and Marmon-Herrington. The Marmon-Herrington version was chosen and, after evaluation as the Light Tank T9, was put into production. Between March 1943 and February 1944, 830 tanks of this type were built. Seriously handicapped in U.S. service by the lack of a suitable American carrier aircraft (it could be carried by the C-54, but only if its turret was removed), a number were supplied to the British who could carry the tank in their Hamilcar glider.

By 1942 it was apparent that the Valentine with its low speed and lack of hitting power was reaching the end of its useful life. In order to extend the usefulness of the tank the turret was again redesigned and fitted with a 6pdr gun. Whilst the 6pdr was a considerable improvement on the 2pdr, its larger size necessitated a reduction of the turret crew to two men and the loss of the vehicle's coaxial machinegun. This unit represents a troop of these newer 6pdr Valentines.

Built to transport infantry and tow light guns, the Loyd Carrier saw only limited service prior to 1943. As the portee system was in use for anti-tank guns, the Loyd was only used as an infantry transport during these years. After 1943 it was adopted as the standard towing vehicle for the 6-pounder gun and the 4.2-inch mortar. The Loyd was designed to have armor plates attached, but they were rarely fitted. This unit represents a platoon of six vehicles.

This unit represents a light truck/Jeep mounted with a 107mm recoilless rifle.  Derived from the "GP" (General Purpose) designation by Ford, the Jeep was a 1/4-ton 4x4 utility vehicle that served many roles: command, liaison, and recon.  The recoilless rifle was an artillery piece that had been specially engineered for light weight so that it could be parachuted with airborne forces or carried by pack. The low weight was achieved by eliminating the recoil mechanism. The recoil mechanism was no longer needed because the propellant gases were emitted to the rear of the unit. The gases were directed through a vents attached to the end of the barrel, which made it dangerous to stand behind, when it was fired.

Still used today in dozens of countries, the T-54 earned its keep as a main battle tank through solid and low-profile design and an impressive main gun.

Improvements were made to the gearbox, escape hatches, turret design, suspension and with the wargamer in mind it featured a 75mm British built main gun and much heavier armor. This tank later redesignated A42 was considered such a good design that many continued in service postwar with British forces both at home and abroad. With a maximum armor thickness of 152mm and nowhere less than 25mm, it was the most heavily armored standard production allied tank of World War II.

Based on the chassis and suspension of the A9/A10 series of cruiser tanks, the Infantry Tank Mk III Valentine was developed as a private venture by Vickers and as such never received an ordnance designation ("A" number). Often mistaken as being a light tank because of its diminutive size, the Valentine was in fact a slow moving heavily armored infantry tank. Built in very large numbers, by 1943 the Valentine made up a quarter of British tank strength. Built both in Britain and Canada, this type was also an important Lend-Lease type with all of the Canadian production bar 30 retained for training being sent to Russia. First deployed to the Western Desert, the Valentine was initially used in the Cruiser role due to lack of other types. Initially produced with a 2pdr gun in a two-man turret, production swiftly changed to one with an improved three-man turret. This unit represents  the MkV version used by Iraq till 1960.

The M1942 76mm (ZIS3) field guns entered service in 1942, and were an attempt to provide Soviet field artillery regiments with a smaller and more manageable piece than the 76-36 then in service. Although the Model 42 was less bulky than its predecessor, it was slightly heavier, and more difficult to produce. Ballistics were little changed from those of the more primitive 76-36, and armor piercing shot was a standard issue. In 1942, the 76-39 was replaced by the superb ZIS-3, which had the same ballistics, but featured a simplified carriage which made the gun easier to handle and produce. Eventually the ZIS-3 would make up the bulk of Soviet light artillery.

The 6pdr gun was hopelessly outclassed as an anti-tank weapon. To rectify the situation an APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) shot was developed for it. With this new shell the weapon was given a new lease on life. The super high velocity APDS shell was capable of penetrating most enemy armored vehicles although the newer vehicles still had to be attacked from the flank or rear. An increase in the production of HE shells also allowed limited infantry support to be given.

The StuG IIIG assault gun was based on previous versions of the PzKpfw III chassis. The original StuG III had been designed as an infantry support tank, but by 1943, StuGs were being used increasingly in an anti-tank role. This was made possible by the introduction of a longer barreled 75mm cannon and additional armor. The G model was the most common StuG built. Production started in late 1942 and continued through the end of the war, with over 7000 examples produced. This unit represents the StuG IIIG in its anti-tank role.

Originally intended as a temporary solution for providing an armored, fully tracked chassis for artillery, it none the less proved to be a good design. The Hummel was introduced to combat at Kursk in 1943, and remained in service for the duration of the war. The artillery regiment of a panzer division generally contained one Hummel battery. A total of 319 were built.

The AMD 35 Armored Car, nicknamed Pan-Pan, and sometimes called the Panhard 178 or P-178, was one of the finest medium armored cars anywhere in 1940. Featuring four-wheel drive, a rear mounted engine, front and rear driving positions, a 25mm main gun, and excellent speed (72km/h) and range (300km), the AMD 35 was a potent reconnaissance vehicle. Its only drawbacks were no independent suspension and radios in command vehicles only. About 525 were built, but only about 400 were issued to units in the field.

The 57mm anti-tank gun was the main stay for the Soviets starting in 1941. Using the carriage of a ZIS-3 76mm field gun, the Model 1941 57mm ZIS-2 was nearly twice as heavy as earlier Soviet anti-tank guns, but with its heavier round and longer barrel, the 57mm was a far more capable weapon. In 1943, 57-41 anti-tank gun production was superseded by that of the PTP obr. 43, also of 57mm, which differed largely in using the tubular carriage of another version of the ZIS-3 76mm gun. The performance of the two guns were nearly identical.

The D-44 85mm anti-tank guns were field pieces designed to add throw weight to the masses of 76.2mm guns, but the heavier rounds of the 85-44s were found to be more useful penetrating thicker armored vehicles. Crewed by seven men, the 85-44 could fire 15 rounds/minute. Relatively few of these guns were built, as they were replaced by an improved model, the 85mm D-44. The D-44 shared similar ballistic capabilities, and with its low silhouette also excelled in the anti-tank role.

The M1942 76mm (ZIS3) field guns entered service in 1942, and were an attempt to provide Soviet field artillery regiments with a smaller and more manageable piece than the 76-36 then in service. Although the Model 42 was less bulky than its predecessor, it was slightly heavier, and more difficult to produce. Ballistics were little changed from those of the more primitive 76-36, and armor piercing shot was a standard issue. In 1942, the 76-39 was replaced by the superb ZIS-3, which had the same ballistics, but featured a simplified carriage which made the gun easier to handle and produce. Eventually the ZIS-3 would make up the bulk of Soviet light artillery.

The 6pdr gun was hopelessly outclassed as an anti-tank weapon. To rectify the situation an APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) shot was developed for it. With this new shell the weapon was given a new lease on life. The super high velocity APDS shell was capable of penetrating most enemy armored vehicles although the newer vehicles still had to be attacked from the flank or rear. An increase in the production of HE shells also allowed limited infantry support to be given.
