Sniper teams, flamethrower teams and light mortar teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sniper became synonymous with the Red Army, particularly during the grim sieges of Stalingrad and Leningrad. ‘Sniper schools’ were established in bombed-out buildings and cellars, where successful snipers passed down their skills to ever-growing numbers of students – many of them women. Soviet propaganda lavished attention on successful snipers and encouraged a doctrine of ‘sniperism’ among the troops. Snipers used telescopic sights on either a bolt action Moisin-Nagant 1891\/30, or, more rarely, a Tokarev SVT-40 smi-automatic rifle. A variety of ammunition was used, including tracer and armour-piercing rounds. Soviet snipers were available at company level working as teams or sometimes on their own. Individual Red Army squads would often have a designated marksman with a scoped rifle to help compensate for the lack of long-range firepower due to the large numbers of submachine guns in use. Soviet snipers became renowned for their fieldcraft, stealth and patience. The most successful snipers each accounted for hundreds of the enemy – around 500 being the greatest tally recorded by a single sniper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard light mortar used by Russian infantry during World War II was the 50mm Infantry Mortar Model 1940 (50-PM 40), a cheaper version of the earlier model 1938, In addition, the Soviet army received considerable numbers of 2-inch mortars from Britain via Lend-Lease. The 50mm was deemed a ‘company’ mortar as opposed to the heavier 82mm battalion and 120mm regimental mortars. The allocation of 50mm mortars was initially to individual teams at platoon level, but later they were more often concentrated together at company level for use en masse. The weapon was easily man-portable and could lay down a high explosive or smoke bombs at a range of over 800 yards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Soviets made great use of flamethrowers including FOG-1 static types dug in to cover bunkers and trenches. Due to shortcomings in developing other credible anti-tank weapons, Red Army doctrine placed strong emphasis on using flamethrowers as anti-tank as well as anti-infantry weapons. They even formed separate motorised anti-tank flamethrower battalions in 1943. By far the most common Russian flamethrowers were the man-packed ROKS types. The ROKS-2 was designed with a fuel tank that looked like an ordinary backpack and a nozzle resembling a rifle, so as not to attract unwelcome attention on the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBox contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix Warlord Resin™ Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic Bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Order Dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T O W R ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45140206256207,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1263\/3167\/files\/402214011_SovietArmy_winter_weaponteams04.webp?v=1777121541"},{"product_id":"is-2-heavy-tank","title":"IS-2 Heavy Tank","description":"\u003cp\u003eBring some of the heaviest armour to your Soviet Armoured Platoons with the KV-1 heavy tank, or field the KV-2 variant, as a close support vehicle!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KV – named after the Defence Commissar Kliment Voroshilov – was a pre-war tank that was thickly armoured all round but also very heavy at 45 tons, making it both un-manoeuvrable and slow.

Of the total produced, 152,000 (including all of the 6x6 production) were sent to the USSR, where the Studebaker’s reliability and durability made it very popular. It was known as “Studer” to the Soviet troops, and was used for transporting troops and supplies and (due to its off-road capability) as a gun tractor. The Studebaker was instrumental in providing the mobility that the Red Army needed for its successful offensives against the Wehrmacht.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis highly detailed plastic kit depicts the long wheelbase version of the Studebaker US6 2½ ton 6x6 truck, either without a winch (model U3) or with a winch (model U4).

At the same time a new automobile plant was built in Nizhny Novgorod (later the town was renamed to Gorky in 1932). The name GAZ stands for Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (Gorky Automobile Plant). In January of 1932, the first GAZ-AA truck (almost an exact copy of the Ford-AA) was produced in the new plant. It had a cargo capacity of 1,500 kg (3,300 lb).

The GAZ-AAA was produced from 1934 to 1943 with modified versions appearing in 1940 with the two spare wheels moved to the front fenders and again in 1943 with flat sheet metal fenders, it was also used as a base for the BA-6 and BA-10 armoured cars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Hightlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Options to build either a GAZ-AA or GAZ-AAA truck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- One piece cab assembly for ease-of-assembly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Open or closed side panels \u0026amp; tailgate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Optional tarpaulin top\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Driver figure included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Base kit for quad M4 Maxim conversion (sold separately)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Code: 280063\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Parts: 57 pieces \/ 2 sprues + 1 cab body + 1 tarpaulin top\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlastic Kit - ABS Cement Required\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMiniatures supplied unassembled and unpainted.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T O W R ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45140218019919,"sku":null,"price":47.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1263\/3167\/files\/280063_GAZ_AA-AAA.jpg?v=1777124537"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1263\/3167\/collections\/401010030a.webp?v=1777448680","url":"https:\/\/towrgames.com.au\/collections\/soviet-union.oembed","provider":"T O W R Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
