In the US Army when we train, the opfor we fight against is depicted as using soviet/Russian equipment, weapons and tactics. Then a lot of our training still has an anti-soviet focus as a relic of the Cold War, For example the silhouette targets we shoot at on the rifle range are nicknamed “Ivan”.
When Russian forces train what kind of forces are you basing your enemy on, is it primarily US based weapons and doctrine, or more of an EU focus, or do you train to fight against old Soviet era weapons as well since that’s what we face mostly in places like the Middle East?
