Now some organizational question. I see that rifle companies (formation n 627 and so on) in your OOB have an heavy machine gun platoon attached to them. Was it actually done?
And in general what kind of support was available? From what I read from the tables six 82/120mm mortars were available at the battalion support company but what others weapons were there? How many recoiless? AAMgs? Were 60mm mortars used?
I am asking this because I am reworking the afghan OOB and from what I have read so far it followed soviet patterns.
Yet they require several changes, as I imagine the DRA troops were not usually carrying around SA-7s and such, for obvious reasons.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Hello Marcello.

In the Russian or Soviet army in general there are no such divisions (Rifle Inf). We do not have the pedestrian infantry. We have mech rifle inf. But in game should be provided - also infantry without armour APC. At us this infantry - the usual mechanised infantry, without APC. As it is supposed that in such structure the infantry usually defends - that we have for a change put them 12.7mm machine guns. In the present states of the mechanised infantry - at all of us it is precisely specified in ours OOB.
In Afghanistan at us usually were at war Air Assault, Mech Inf, it is less Naval Inf.
At all of us armies are made very precisely (including support platoons - 82\120mm mortars, MG, AGS etc.) - except Rifle Inf - these armies at us are made on a basis Mech Inf.
Also it is exact at us years of change of organizational regular structure of armies are made.

So basically if I understand correctly that heavy MG platoon is a sort of compensation for the absence of the BTR/BMP, rather than a standard formation.

Hello Marcello.

No. You have misunderstood me. I spoke about that that - Rifle Inf = Mech Inf winthout BTR/BMP. As such variant of structure of divisions is possible only in defend basically in support to these divisions gave heavy mg.
Mech Inf with BTR/BMP - we have completely made a standard platoon of support in our OOB.

Best regards
