Russian Army: Military units (Locations, equipment and re-armaments)

I opened this topic for everyone who is interested in the Russian Army's units locations, their equipment or even their organizational structures, amd what new armament they will get.

For example I read that an "unnamed tank formation in Buryatia, Eastern Military District" received brand new "Tor-M2U" SAM systems. I've done some futher research, and the exact unit that received them is the "5th Detached Guards Tank Brigade", stationed in Ulan-Ude, Buryatia http://www.armyrecognition.com/july_2016_global_defense_security_news_industry/russian_eastern_military_district_to_receive_tor-m2u_surface-to-air_missile_systems_tass_30607161.html.

For instance here is the unit/formation structure of the Western Military District.

Have also seen reports that the 8th Brigade at Borzoi which is called a Mountain brigade has the same TO&E as the 33rd and 34th brigades.

Future Russian armored divisions will have I assume three brigades of three battalions each ? How many tanks and IFV are in a battalion ? I assume the plan is to equip armored brigades with T-14 and T-15. Will motorized infantry brigades get Kurganetz or T-15 ? Where do the Bumerangs fit in

Also, in the past it appears as if the organic air defense components of armored and mechanized infantry forces were not sufficient for a NATO type enemy that relies so heavily on precision distance ordinance and air power. What would be a sufficient level of air defense assets and of what type at the division level ?

First...

Cold War era tank divisions consisted of 3 tank regiments, 1 motor rifle regiment, a self-propelled artillery and an air defense regiment, plus additional support (anti-tank, recon, engineer, NBC defense, signal, maintenance, logistics and medical) battalions. Each tank regiment consisted of 2 tank battalions (3 companies with 10 tanks each). So in each tank regiment consisted of 60+2 tanks (those +2 tanks were for the commanders of each battalion). In total, in a tank division, there were around 186 tanks.

For the IFVs, in current motor rifle brigades there are 3 motor rifle battalions of 3 companies with 10 IFVs/APCs each, and a tank battalion of 4 companies (40+1 tanks in total). Around 120 IFVs/APCs and 41 tanks in total.

Second...

Currently here are 3 types of motor rifle brigades:

1. Equipped with BTR-80 APCs. These units will be reequipped with Boomerang APCs/IFVs.

2. Equipped with MT-LB APCs. MT-LBs will be replaced with Kurganets APCs/IFVs (Mostly APCs, I think)

3. Equipped with BMPs. Most of these units are using the BMP-2 variant, but there are several brigades that are using BMP-3. Older BMP-1s are retired and are kept in reserve. Kurganets IFVs/APCs (Mostly IFVs) will replace the current BMPs.

For future armored brigades, I'm not exactly sure, but I think they will have to be equipped with T-15 heavy IFVs, since it's based on the same platform as the T-14, and we are talking about Armata brigades.

Third...

As for the aerial defense of the future divisions, I think that a SAM regiment equipped with a division(battalion) of Tor-M2 short range SAM systems, and a battery of a proposed SPAAG system mounted on Kurganets platform (replacing the 2S6 Tunguska combined SAM/SPAAG systems), plus a division of a very short range SAM (likely the Sosna-U system, replacing the 9K34/35 Strela) would cover the needs.

There are still brigades in the Far East using BMP-1.

Missing the 68th Army Corps.

franco wrote:Missing the 68th Army Corps.

Well yes, even the 11th Army Corps of the Western Military District is missing too. Soon, I will add both of them too.

BTW I don't know why the units of the Eastern Military District are using pretty much obsolete equipment such as the BMP-1, ZSU-23-4 Shilka and 9P148 Konkurs-S ATGM vehicles?

Obsolete hardware like these cannot do much against their current adversaries.

They should be pretty much low on combat readiness, so maybe this is why they don't get new armament like the BMP-3 or at least T-72B3. Then the Russian Far East should be so peaceful that they don't require high-tech military units?

I also fixed some wrong brigade numberings in various ORBATs:

-64th Detached Motor Rifle Brigade (Eastern MD)

Previously, it was:

(64 OMSBR) 32nd Detached Motor Rifle Brigade (Knyaze-Volkonskoye, Khabarovsk region)

Now it is the 64th, just as it is in reality.

Same with the 69th Cossack Brigade of Security (Eastern MD, which was mistakenly the:

(69 OKBRP) 64th Detached Cossack Brigade of Security (Babstovo, Jewish Autonomous District)

Now it's the same as it is in reality

I also deleted the 8th Guards Detached (Mountain) Motor Rifle Brigade (Borzoi, Southern MD), after I found out that the brigade was disbanded in 2002.

I believe you will find the 8th Brigade very much alive and well in Borzoi. It was indeed disbanded in 2002 but was reformed in 2009 with the reorganization into brigades. The only question that exists to me is if it is actually organized as a Mountain Motor Rifle brigade (33rd & 34th) or as a standard Motor Rifle brigade (17th & 18th).

Very interesting topic. Long and interesting work. I appreciate it very much.

Well yes, even the 11th Army Corps of the Western Military District is missing too. Soon, I will add both of them too.

BTW I don't know why the units of the Eastern Military District are using pretty much obsolete equipment such as the BMP-1, ZSU-23-4 Shilka and 9P148 Konkurs-S ATGM vehicles?

Obsolete hardware like these cannot do much against their current adversaries.

They should be pretty much low on combat readiness, so maybe this is why they don't get new armament like the BMP-3 or at least T-72B3. Then the Russian Far East should be so peaceful that they don't require high-tech military units?

In overall terms the less modern part of the equipment as military concept are the heavy towed weapons. Surely the less modern as military concept of all the equipment cited would be:

2B9 Vasilyok 82mm.
2B14 Podnos 82mm.
ZU-23-2 23mm.

In addition to them also some auxiliary vehicles seem getting out in the short-term.

Well yes, but right now I plan to add the lists of other units for each military district. My plan was to update my topics on a weekly basis (on the weekends), but after seeing the growing interest, I will try to update them ASAP.

Good to see them in more modern platforms. Then I will update my own post. The reference to the MT-LB is as generic name for all the MT-LBs. In fact this was the purpose of this comment. To link the less known warfare to their more known mobile platforms.

... and also did some editing to the TO&Es of the NBC defense regiments.

-Equipment: 3 TOS-1 "Buratino" heavy flamethrower systems, 6 TZM-T transloader vehicles for TOS-1A, 18 BMO-T APC for RPO-A Shmel carrying squads, RKhM-4 and RKhM-6 NBC reconaissance vehicles, TMS-65U and ARS-14KM decontamination vehicles, TDA-2K smoke generator vehicles

From this day I will include an update log at the bottom of the lists. However I will mention them in regular posts in order to provide you with fresh information.

Yesterday I have edited the TO&E of the air defense regiments that are using Buk-M1/S-300V4 AD missile complexes, for all four military district

Buk-M1 units:

-Equipment: 4 division/battalion sets of 9K37-M1 "Buk-M1" medium-range SAM systems (24 9A310M1 launchers (TELs) and 12 9A39 transloader-launchers (TELLs), 1 9S18M1 "Kupol-M1" (NATO code: "Snow Drift") target aquisition and engagemet/fire control radar, 1 9S470M1 regiment/brigade level command post)

Note that in some cases (especially in the Eastern MD) there are 3 battalions instead of 4.

S-300V4 units:

-Equipment: 2 division/battalion sets of S-300V4 long-range SAM/ABM systems (8 9A82M and 16 9A83M launchers with radars (TELARs), 4 9A84M and 8 9A85M transloader-launchers (TELLs), 4 9S32 (NATO code: "Grill Pan") battery level engagement/fire control radars, 1 9S15M2 "Obzor-3" (NATO code: "Bill Board") early warning/target aquisition radar, 1 9S19M2 "Imbir" (NATO code: "High Screen") sector surveillance radar, 1 9S457M regiment level command post)

The only consistent in the Russian military is the inconsistent.

You will find Buk brigades with from 2 to 4 battalions / divisions (6 TELAR and 3 TELL each)

The same with the 300V brigades, from 1-3 battalions (6 TELAR and 3 TELL each) and sometimes Buk battalions are also added to the 300V brigade.

It is strange, that a brigade has 2-3 battalions. A normal brigade is made up from 4-6 battalions at least (Even a SAM brigade should have 4 battalions at very least)

Plus I forgot to mention one thing that I added yesterday to the Western MD:

(3 Gv MSD) 3rd Guards Motor Rifle Division (Boguchar, Voronezh region)

Forming started in 2016, and likely to end in 2017. Forming on the base of the 9th Detached Motor Rifle Brigade, inherited its personnel and equipment.

-Equipment: -Equipment: 40 T-72B3 MBTs, 1 T-72BK battalion commander's MBT, 120 BMP-2 IFVs, 11 BTR-82A APCs, 25 BTR-80A APCs, 15 MT-LB APCs, 4 BRDM-2 armored scout cars, 36 2S3 Akatsiya 152mm self-propelled howitzers, 18 BM-21 Grad MLRS systems, 18 2B11 Sani 120mm towed mortars, 12 MT-12 Rapira 100mm towed AT guns, 27 9K38 Metis portable ATGMs, 12 9P149 Shturm-S self-propelled ATGM systems, 12 9A33BM2 Osa SAM systems, 6 9K34/35 Strela-10 SAM systems, 6 2S6M Tunguska SAM/SPAAG systems, 27 9K38 Igla shoulder-launched SAMs

I'm not sure about the 3rd Division yet. Perhaps it is at Valuyki and based on the 23rd MR brigade transferred over from Samara. We should know in the next few months.
