9th Guards Independent Motor-Rifle Brigade

Recommended Posts

So my russian google-fu is lacking a bit. I have been googling with google page translate quite a bit but can't find the answers so now I hope anyone here can help me.

I am planing a online COOP on the Gotland map once DA is done with that and it will be a russian attack on Gotland with poor Sweden trying to delay/stop them. So I am working on the background story and enemy units, matching what we have in SB right now, so I am going for a unit with T-72 and BMP-2's (and apparently BTR-82 as well, cant explain that one) and that unit is 9th guards Independent MRB from 20th Army in the Western military district.

So far all well, but I want to find out the numbers of the different battalions in that MRB and overall what equiptment they are using and if they are "old school" or "new school" regarding Recce units (new one is Tigr with sensors instead of old school combat recce stuff).

This is what I have found so far:

Motorised Brigade consists of (approximately):

Main unit:

- Control (Staff);

- Three motorized infantry battalions (SMEs);

- Tank battalion (TB);

- Two self-propelled howitzer artillery battalions (GSADn);

- Reactive artillery battalion (READn);

- Anti-aircraft battalion (ZDn);

- Anti-aircraft missile battalion (ZRDn);

- Anti-aircraft missile and artillery battalion (ZRADn);

- Anti-tank artillery battalion (PTADn);

Units provide:

- Battery management and artillery reconnaissance (BUiAR);

- Reconnaissance Battalion (RB);

- Communications battalion (BS);

- Engineering-sapper battalion (ISF);

- Battalions logistics (BMTO);

- Company of radiation, chemical and biological protection (NBC);

- Company electronic warfare (EW);

- Sniper rifle company (CPC);

- Medical company;

- Commandant company (CR);

- Orchestra.

Any help is welcome to get a good backstory behind the campaign :)

- Orchestra.

OK so Red Army Choir upset that music sales have plummented due to four Swedish ex folk singers across the border.

They launch a overt mission to disrupt the interlopers and accept that World War III is an acceptable risk compared to getting back into the charts. :)

Here are the two "best" resources I've been able to find on contemporary Russian brigade TO&E after extensive searching online:

The second link contains more of the detail helpful for scenario design. I hope they're useful.
