Soviet Tank Company Tactics: Defense Intelligence Report

By Defense Intelligence Agency

Soviet Tank Company Tactics, May 1976

We were surprised to find there were no clean copies in print so we decided to reconstitute the report as best we could. Unfortunately, the photos are not very good and the originals are nowhere to be found, so we did not replace them. Rather than change the document, we decided to add a new document at the end that would show current (2019) Russian tanks and include what little information is available. As far as tactics go, not really sure how the new tanks, such as the T-14 will cause changes to Russian tank tactics but some of the information is still valid today, such as the use of snorkel, night vision and the effects of poor weather conditions. You will note that we added some additional information regarding Russian New Generation Warfare (RNGW), 4th Generation Warfare, Hybrid War, and new Russian weapons at the end including:
- 1K17 Szhatie (1К17 Сжатие) Russian "Stiletto" Laser Tank
- Combat Laser System (Peresvet) Russian Laser Cannon
- T-14 Armata Main Battle Tank
- T-15 Heavy Infantry Combat Vehicle
- Kurganets-25 Light Tracked Armored Vehicle
- 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV 152-mm Self-Propelled Howitzer
- VPK-7829 Bumerang Modular Infantry Wheeled Fighting Vehicle

Why buy a book you can download for free? We print the paperback book so you don't have to.

First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour.

It's much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com
