More than 20 units of modern weapons and special military equipment will be received in 2021 by the units of the Guards Tank Division of the Central Military District (CVO), stationed in the Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk regions, the press service of the CVO reports.
"In 2021, a batch of ten upgraded BMP-2M infantry fighting vehicles will be delivered to the motorized rifle units of the largest tank formation of the Central Military District. Unlike the models of earlier modifications, the BMP-2M has an automatic fire control system that allows the commander and gunner to act as a single unit during the day and at night, " the report says.
In addition, the anti-tank units of the division will receive this year more than ten self-propelled combat vehicles "Shturm-S", capable of destroying armored vehicles, including with dynamic protection, as well as air targets and structures in all weather conditions.
