Default Re: Soviet bazooka teams

a quick look at wiki tells us this

World War II[edit]
Secretly introduced via the Russian front and in November 1942 during Operation Torch, early production versions of the M1 launcher and M6 rocket were hastily supplied to some of the U.S. invasion forces during the landings in North Africa. On the night before the landings, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was shocked to discover from a subordinate that none of his troops had received any instruction in the use of the bazooka.[17]
and then there is this

Although the russian military was reportedly not very enthusiastic about the lend-lease Bazookas which they had received in little numbers in 1943, they took a liking to the bigger Panzerschreck and the late-war Panzerfaust types.

The Red Army did receive the bazooka under Lend Lease. In fact the Ordnance office G.B. Jarrett claimed that German captures of early batches sent the Russians in 1942 was the origin of the German panzerschreck.I'm not sure how many were sent, but the number was relatively small as they only were sent 8,500 rounds of rockets. I've never seen a photo of one in Red Army service.

and that's why they are in there
