SOVIET MOTORIZED INFANTRY PLATOON IN FREE ASSAULT 1968 RED ARMY TRAINING FILM (IN RUSSIAN) 85184

[@yoloman3607]

People looking at this just to laugh are missing quite a bit, if you actually know a thing about Soviet tactics this is very characteristic. Recon target defenses, organize a planned artillery barrage and while it falls advance with maximum suppressive fire by dismounts and vehicles. Call vehicles to destroy enemy emplacements. When bogged down and forced into prone move reserve forces to exploit areas where the attack is more successful to pressure the enemy and cut them off instead of western style where reinforcements are sent to the struggling areas of an attack to try and get it moving. Very focused on the commander since this is a command army designed for 2 year conscripts.

The BMP is/was such a great machine, no wonder they still make it today !

[@sd3693]

Would a unit on the march have had an elaborate sand table laid out for every platoon, for the platoon leader to give orders to the individual vehicles? (Or was that the company CO briefing platoon leaders?)

Hello! I'm the person who processed this video (and some other Russophone videos), you can ask me questions, and I might answer if I have the time.

[@esobed1]

Thanks for your work on this. Funny how the US Army tng films are similar during this time. Even down to the goofy music.

[@hughmccabe3385]

How did you acquire this film?

[@axeavier]

Hello! I saw you answer some WW2 questions in another video and I'm hoping you could clear this up. Would have USSR eventually won the war on its own without USA's help? Given that USA did make an impact in Africa thus diverting the troops from the Eastern Front in addition to trying to defend Italy, how big of a relief was that for USSR? How about when Germany defended the allied invasion of the beaches? Would have USSR won it many years later or not at all? I was under the impression that Germany had too few resources so they were counting on it to end soon but have already lost the moment they had a stalemate with USSR before the winter. Would they have took over Africa without USA's help? Or would they have lost anyway given the stalemate early on in the war on the eastern front? I greatly appreciate you taking the time to answer any of my questions.

I'm no expert, but I'm wondering if some of these tactics might be disastrous going against Americans with Vietnam Era weaponry.

[@yoloman3607]

Done with the correct size forces these tactics were some of the toughest hardest scenarios in the training centers. They also won most of the planned wargames as they leave very little time to react given all their planning is done well in advance of the assault with landmarks and objectives, while the raw numbers of the Soviets on the field (Soviets had nearly 3x ground forces and wouldn't launch attacks like these without a 3x or greater advantage) meant everyone needed reinforcements. In Vietnam the US mainly relied on heavy air and artillery support to defeat large PAVN offensives especially the lighter heli borne infantry groups, which is problematic when the USSR just has far more artillery and a lot more air defense than the north Vietnamese. US ground equipment of the Vietnam era really didn't have a lot of meaningful advantages over the Soviets; their M60 tanks were on par but badly outnumbered, M113 APCs entirely outclassed by BMPs and BTRs in combat ability, artillery systems 10-20% better than Soviets but greatly outnumbered, their M72 anti-tank weapons were inferior to RPG-7s, TOW missiles of the era were marginally better than Soviet Fagot or Konkurs, M60 medium machine guns greatly inferior to PKM, US had no equivalent light machine gun analog to RPK or RPD, M-16s marginally superior to the AKM, M1 helmets somewhat more fragmentation resistant over SSH-68s, hand grenades equal, infantry equipment systems equal, US infantry had better standard issue woodland camo uniforms over tan M69 uniforms but Soviet KMLK digital camo oversuits were excellent especially against early night vision, M163 VADs air defense guns wholly outclassed by ZSU-23-4 Shilkas, Chapperal IR missile air defense relatively comparable to Soviet counterparts, etc etc. After Vietnam the US begins pulling far ahead but in the 60s and 70s they were very comparable which is not what you want when heavily outnumbered.

Looks good, assuming the enemy has no artillery capable of firing airbursts.

@@grustnyia2386 My Friend, my comment was a bad joke. I referred to the vast number of Red Army Soldiers killed needlessly in WWII when Stalin ordered attacks that his Generals knew were doomed. Men of the Red Army were truly used like cannon fodder. It worked in defeating Nazi Germany, but, we in the West look a this way of war wasteful since once a trained soldier is dead, he is no longer useful in the fight. .

These propaganda props are better soldiers than what the “Mighty Russian Army” is showing right now

Feels a lot more like propaganda video than a training since it teaches almost nothing except - "believe your commander, he knows better". "Once You have Your orders, follow them or die". I have seen other videos, made by western armies, and they are hundred times more interesting and more educational. German videos focus on concealment and camouflage, or tell different solutions to destroy enemy equipment. Swiss movies explain the defence in depth in great detail and many other things. This one is like ... "Soviet army always wins. Got it rjadovoi Ivanov? Dismissed!"
