Default Re: A question for the Russians

Just have a look at the action in South Ossetia, you'll see likely forces mix for such a sudden "flare-up", IOW for most likely scenario.
1) regular troops - Motor Rifle Division, equipped with T-72B and a mix of BMP-1 and 2. And 2S3 for artillery, no fancy Msta-S.
2) various composite units hurried to the area, composed from experienced soldiers - VDV, "kontraktniki"... But equipped from wartime reserve stocks. So VDV with BMD-1, mech troops with BMP-1 and T-62...
