[SSSR] Soviet Armed Forces #2589335
Description
[SSSR] Soviet Armed Forces The Soviet Army is utilized to protect the Soviet Union and its people from threats on the outside of the country, including to serve the purpose of recruiting its people as well. At the end of the Second World War the Red Army had over 500 rifle divisions and about a tenth that number of tank formations. Their experience of war gave the Soviets such faith in tank forces that from that point the number of tank divisions remained virtually unchanged, whereas the wartime infantry force was cut by two-thirds. The Tank Corps of the late war period were converted to tank divisions, and from 1957 the Rifle Divisions were converted to Motor Rifle Divisions (MRDs). MRDs had three motorized rifle regiments and a tank regiment, for a total of ten motor rifle battalions and six tank battalions; tank divisions had the proportions reversed.
