VERY UNIQUE MISSION with BRDM-2 in the Gunner HEAT PC | Soviet Reconnaissance

[@rossmum]

Neat detail about the BRDM and its specialisation to the forward recce role: it had a dead reckoning navigation system installed in it - there's a Czech military archive (VHU) video on their KZbin channel that shows it in operation. Really cool piece of equipment, especially useful to have in the days before GPS where you might have good, accurate Soviet maps (that's a whole other thing - Genshtab maps in particular are works of art) but having a map and placing yourself on it are two different things, especially from inside an armoured box in low light or with a lot of smoke or destruction of existing landmarks.

love to watch your video since i can enjoy watching game and learning handfull military stuffs

[@PhanPhantasy]

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

[@Blind_Hawk]

This was really cool! Btw in case you didn't know, once you lased your target with the T-72M1 you don't need to re-lase it when moving towards or away the position and also, not for targets at a similar distance. For example the ridge line with the M113, there you didn't need to re-lase because they were similar away from you.

You used a word that is not a word in you overview. "Substained" is not a word, I think you meant "sustained." In the context of a reconnaissance unit, they avoid sustained, or uninterrupted combat. You might have also meant "substantial." Recon units definitely do not want to engage a substantial enemy force, since they are not equipped for a big fight. That being said, great video and great insight.

I wonder - NATO callsigns for friendly/enemy were BLUFOR/REDFOR, what were the Pact counterpart?

[@Someone-lr6gu]

None. Pact did not use callsigns in that sense. Russia still doesn't.

[@BarcelPL]

@@Someone-lr6gu So what did they call them? Enemy? Opponent?

[@Someone-lr6gu]

@@BarcelPL Just enemy/opponent. Yes. In russian that just the word "противник".

​@@Someone-lr6guincluding dushman ?

[@Someone-lr6gu]

@@OperatorMax1993 That's a nickname referring specifically to the Mujahideen based on the word "enemy" from pashto language, not a callsign.

[@mrnexus8seven949]

I wonder what mis specs are for this on a pc, mine is 12 years old ... so might be rubbish at playing something new like this.

[@sbura_]

But why didn't the enemies fire at you at the beginning

[@PhanPhantasy]

I fell back before they launch their ATGMs because it takes them a few seconds to fire.

[@sbura_]

@@PhanPhantasy I know but I think that there was infantry and a mounted mg on the m113 too so i tought they'd shoot with small arms Idk
