But you didn't, you preferred to watch only Nato news. Therefore you're doing in wrong, incapable and in fact don't need any opinions.
Russian doctrine is one of my favorites on this channel. Nato doctrine is pretty much all on the Internet, while russian organization is harder to find and Wikipedia doesn't have the best Intel on it.
Doctrine? Man, in internets may find many documents about structure and another stuff of RF Armed Forces. For example - "Field Manual/Boeyvoy Ustav" of motor-rifle forces. This document have three levels - squad-platoon, company-batallion and regiment-division. First and second in public share, final - secret stuff.
I also heard that and was surprised. Every regiment or brigade has 3 manoeuver battalions. 2 will provide BTGs while the 3rd will serve as reserve. For support assets, Regiments/brigades have battalions (artillery, air defense, recon) each of them has 3 companies or company level units (in air defence and artillery are called batteries) so they can put out a company for every BTG. Even regiment/brigade attached sniper companies have 3 platoons each to be able to deploy 10-20 sniper pairs in every BTG.
@@tunisiandom9318 ваши расчеты не совсем точны. Мотострелковые дивизии могут сильно отличаться по штату. Там может быть от двух до четырех полков. То же самое касается и бригад, количество батальонов в них отличается. Оснащённость батальонов различна, приоритет отдают войскам Западного и Южного округа, у батальонов на востоке может не хватать оборудования. Пропорция призывников и профессиональных военных в бригадах и дивизиях различна. Где-то они состоят из профессионалов на 100%, а где-то на 30-40%. Таким образом, нельзя точно сказать, сколько может дать батальонных тактических групп та или иная бригада (дивизия). Всего в российской армии около 160-170 батальонных тактических групп. Эту цифру называл Шойгу, но она безусловно включает в себя батальонные тактические группы с призывниками.
in summary: -Air Defense Brigades subordinated to combined arms army: S-300V4 and Buk-m3 two batteries each -Air defense Regiments subordinated to divisions: Buk-M2/Buk-M3 -Air defense battalions subordinated to brigades/regiments: Tor-M1-2U/M2 -Air defence companies subordinated to battalions: Strela/Osa/Tunguska -Air Defence platoons subordinated to companies: MANPADS The strela Osa Tunguska are legacy systems and are to be replaced by Pantsir-SV/Sosna/Derivatsya-PVO

Не важно какое у тебя наполнение дивизий, важно то, как ты быстро их перекинешь, скажем за 3000км . дивизия+железная дорога = бонжур епта ( не переводится на английский)

Great video. However, it has to be said that, while on paper having sufficient forces to do so, it would be highly unlikely for a Russian brigade/regiment to generate all three BTGs. Usually they combine the available vehicles (those in working condition) and contract soldiers into 1-2 BTGs. Deploying all 3 BTGs would go against the logic that gave birth to the BTG concept in the first place. The concept of BTGs was born after the decline and low readiness of the Russian army became apparent during the 90s. Most military units have readiness rates of around 70-80 percent (with tanks on maintenance/ repair, personnel detached or on training courses) therefore it was faster to combine the working parts into BTGs rather than preparing the entire regiment for deployment. Secondly, BTGs put less strain on the rail system which is crucial for Russian mobilizations and deployments (it's faster to load three BTGs from three different regions/brigades, than one entire brigade in one region). The third limiting factor is personnel. Russian conscript soldiers make up roughly 50% of Russian frontline troops and have little experience and training. When the regiment generates 1-2 BTGs they are staffed mainly with contract soldiers and experienced officers to increase combat effectiveness. The conscripts are left behind to remain on call to replace losses in the field to provide a further degree of sustainability to the BTGs. Maybe you could explain the concept behind BTGs in a future video.
This is my understanding. The brigade/regiment provides one deployable regular battalion with all formation assets. The other two battalions provide replacements. Sometimes two/one for high readiness formations. Full or emergency mobilisation would require all three battalions in the field. Probably raising a new fourth battalion at depot.
*The battalion tactical group is a temporary formation with operational flexibility. Created to conduct combat in motorized rifle and tank brigades on the basis of one battalion and artillery, air defense, engineering and support units attached to it. Additionally, air formations, special forces groups and other units can be attached, allowing them to perform the assigned combat missions.* ua-cam.com/video/CMNKbPP5f6Q/v-deo.html
@@overworlder The main concept is: you form an BTG from the best units in your brigade, it conducts mobile warfare/most assault operations, act when aggression is needed. Other brigade forces with less quality units which may have less support units total than BTG act like support troops, holding the frontline, performing clean-ups, guards BTG while it is not on operation. In case of hybrid war, BTG comes alone, while local troops fulfill that support roles

@@DemosIoannou First off, Relax. I have no interest in insulting you. Second, I wasn't talking to you, but sinced you asked, as for my opinion, I'm tired of my country being run by politicians who think we should police the world and be involved with every conflict considering most of the time it's not our business. With that said we have several alliances with many countries that are small and it is in our best interest to protect them (Taiwan). So no, we do not "claim" territory as the Russian government has stated they claim the Ukraine. We have bases stationed in allied countries to help protect them and ourselves. With the fall of the USSR in '92, the Ukrainian government had every right to declare autonomy. Now the Russian government and Putin have clearly stated that Ukraine belongs to them, and I believe they are wrong.
@@chris3312 Russia provoked a conflict in Ukraine in order to be able to leverage pressure on Kiev and delay its entry into NATO for years. Donbas is that rebellious region, he would sit quietly if Russia had not convinced them to revolt.

just out of curiosity, what's a Russian persons perspective on the troops forming up on the Ukraine border? do you think there will be a invasion?
@@gamerjpcheats as a Russian person I can say I do not think that there is any invasion planned. Why does Russia need it? What will be the profit?
As for me the only case when it can come true is if Ukraine will start real offensive on Donbas. There are lots of Russian citizens, so we shall see the same "peace enforcement" operation to protect them that took place when Georgia launched the attack on South Ossetia.
I do not even mention attack on Crimea as a war starter cause Russia claims it to be Russian territory, and any attack on Crimea will be taken as attack on Russia.

According to Kofman, each brigade or regiment generates one BTG for active service.
I also heard that and was surprised.
Every regiment or brigade has 3 manoeuver battalions. 2 will provide BTGs while the 3rd will serve as reserve.
For support assets, Regiments/brigades have battalions (artillery, air defense, recon) each of them has 3 companies or company level units (in air defence and artillery are called batteries) so they can put out a company for every BTG. Even regiment/brigade attached sniper companies have 3 platoons each to be able to deploy 10-20 sniper pairs in every BTG.
@@tunisiandom9318 ваши расчеты не совсем точны. Мотострелковые дивизии могут сильно отличаться по штату. Там может быть от двух до четырех полков. То же самое касается и бригад, количество батальонов в них отличается. Оснащённость батальонов различна, приоритет отдают войскам Западного и Южного округа, у батальонов на востоке может не хватать оборудования. Пропорция призывников и профессиональных военных в бригадах и дивизиях различна. Где-то они состоят из профессионалов на 100%, а где-то на 30-40%.
Таким образом, нельзя точно сказать, сколько может дать батальонных тактических групп та или иная бригада (дивизия).
Всего в российской армии около 160-170 батальонных тактических групп. Эту цифру называл Шойгу, но она безусловно включает в себя батальонные тактические группы с призывниками.
@@tunisiandom9318 Sufficient enlisted units to fill 1 BTG with the rest being conscript units, that are available only after mobilization.

-Air defense Regiments subordinated to divisions: Buk-M2/Buk-M3
-Air defense battalions subordinated to brigades/regiments: Tor-M1-2U/M2
-Air defence companies subordinated to battalions: Strela/Osa/Tunguska

How are their tanks structured? Easy: wrecked hull to one side of the road, burning turret on the other side.
I am seeing all these types of Russian tanks burning across Ukraine, easily being destroyed by Javelins
Their weakness is that the ammunition is stored in the hull below the turret. Many Western tanks have it stored in the rear of a turret.

2023 update: Everything already mentioned, but on fire.
Не важно какое у тебя наполнение дивизий, важно то, как ты быстро их перекинешь, скажем за 3000км . дивизия+железная дорога = бонжур епта ( не переводится на английский)
Только без частей поддержки твоя дивизия почти моментально превращается в тыкву в случае встречи с серьезным противником. В тыкву, кричащую "мама, забери меня домой" и перегружающую твою логистику из-за необходимости выделять на них новые и новые поезда-самолеты. Поэтому наполнение допускающее приемлемую автономность дивизии не менее важно чем маневренность оной
Great video. However, it has to be said that, while on paper having sufficient forces to do so, it would be highly unlikely for a Russian brigade/regiment to generate all three BTGs. Usually they combine the available vehicles (those in working condition) and contract soldiers into 1-2 BTGs. Deploying all 3 BTGs would go against the logic that gave birth to the BTG concept in the first place.
The concept of BTGs was born after the decline and low readiness of the Russian army became apparent during the 90s. Most military units have readiness rates of around 70-80 percent (with tanks on maintenance/ repair, personnel detached or on training courses) therefore it was faster to combine the working parts into BTGs rather than preparing the entire regiment for deployment. Secondly, BTGs put less strain on the rail system which is crucial for Russian mobilizations and deployments (it's faster to load three BTGs from three different regions/brigades, than one entire brigade in one region). The third limiting factor is personnel. Russian conscript soldiers make up roughly 50% of Russian frontline troops and have little experience and training. When the regiment generates 1-2 BTGs they are staffed mainly with contract soldiers and experienced officers to increase combat effectiveness. The conscripts are left behind to remain on call to replace losses in the field to provide a further degree of sustainability to the BTGs.
Maybe you could explain the concept behind BTGs in a future video.
This is my understanding. The brigade/regiment provides one deployable regular battalion with all formation assets. The other two battalions provide replacements. Sometimes two/one for high readiness formations.
Full or emergency mobilisation would require all three battalions in the field. Probably raising a new fourth battalion at depot.
*The battalion tactical group is a temporary formation with operational flexibility. Created to conduct combat in motorized rifle and tank brigades on the basis of one battalion and artillery, air defense, engineering and support units attached to it. Additionally, air formations, special forces groups and other units can be attached, allowing them to perform the assigned combat missions.*

@@UltraTotenkopf - The link is just pretty pictures and music.
@@overworlder The main concept is: you form an BTG from the best units in your brigade, it conducts mobile warfare/most assault operations, act when aggression is needed. Other brigade forces with less quality units which may have less support units total than BTG act like support troops, holding the frontline, performing clean-ups, guards BTG while it is not on operation. In case of hybrid war, BTG comes alone, while local troops fulfill that support roles
BTG I've been hearing a lot of that lately.

@@DemosIoannou First off, Relax. I have no interest in insulting you. Second, I wasn't talking to you, but sinced you asked, as for my opinion, I'm tired of my country being run by politicians who think we should police the world and be involved with every conflict considering most of the time it's not our business. With that said we have several alliances with many countries that are small and it is in our best interest to protect them (Taiwan). So no, we do not "claim" territory as the Russian government has stated they claim the Ukraine. We have bases stationed in allied countries to help protect them and ourselves.
With the fall of the USSR in '92, the Ukrainian government had every right to declare autonomy. Now the Russian government and Putin have clearly stated that Ukraine belongs to them, and I believe they are wrong.
@@chris3312 Russia provoked a conflict in Ukraine in order to be able to leverage pressure on Kiev and delay its entry into NATO for years. Donbas is that rebellious region, he would sit quietly if Russia had not convinced them to revolt.
