Valjemmalla (VDV-tankilla; one tank gun for all seasons -sorttia) tarkoitin kylla tassa alla lihavoitua (niitahan tuotiin Zapadin alussa hyva maara naytille ihan tuohon Viron rajalle):
While in 2014, the VDV personnel strength was 36 thousand troops, a year later it reached 46 thousand, and by 2018 it is to reach its new ceiling of 72 thousand. By that time the VDV will have five divisions, the 7th, 76th, 98th, 104th, and 106th, each with three airborne regiments, 1 artillery regiment, and 8 thousand troops each, and 5 air assault brigades. Whereas the divisions are mainly intended for long-range strategic operations, the helicopter-mobile air-assault brigades would be used mainly to support Ground Forces operations by seizing key terrain ahead of friendly units advance or dislocating enemy defenses by operating in rear areas or on the flanks of enemy forces.
The numerical expansion is accompanied by equipment modernization. The BMD-4M airborne infantry fighting vehicle has no equivalent in the world, save for China’s, which is based on Russian designs. In the upcoming years the VDV will also receive a number of 2S25SDM-1 Sprut light tanks/tank destroyers armed with 125mm cannon, Zauralets-D 122mm airdroppable self-propelled howitzer, and a range of supporting vehicles.
Tuossa yo. lainauksessa tykki on nimitetty (matalapaine)kanuunaksi, juuri tahan suoratulikykyynsa nojaten... en ole ihan varma, painiiko se lahellakaan muita 120-125 mm:n kanuunoita. Ja onko se edes, ensisijaisesti, tarkoitettu suoratuliaseeksi
- ajettelin kysya, kun en ole tykkimies
- sisallytin myos pitkan lainauksen, koska juuri kun nuo VDV-joukot oli saatu yhta lukuunottamatta jarjestetyksi divisioonisra prikaatimuotoon, niin taas ruvettiin laajentamaan (ja jos lahde pitaa kutinsa, niin aika ronskisti kanss)
