This guide is intented to train those in Artamidae Private Military, and is geared toward the typical contact we face. However, just about anyone can find use out of this guide.

This a work in progress that I will make more complete and prettier as time goes on, but right now its 5 AM and it functions.

UAZ's come in 3 variants, unarmed transport, a DShK mount, and an SPG.








Land Rover's can be armed with either an M2 or a GMG, but but the crew is pretty exposed.






We typically refer to this Russian equivalent of the HMMWV as plainly "Gaz". It comes both unarmed and mounted with a GMG and a PKM.









The typical BRDM-2 comes with a 14.5 KPVT (Similar to a .50), and a PKT side armanent. It can also carry an anti-tank rocket launcher. The latter variant is to be called out immediatly over the necessary radio net, as they can be devastating to any target.










BTR's are a force to be reckoned with. While they can't really take a hit from any sort of AT, the ability to carry a fireteam and the absolute death machine the BTR-80A is, if you take anything away from this guide, know how to tell the differenc between a regular BTR and the BTR-80A. (The BTR with the long, thin cannon.)









The GAZ-66 is a basic utility truck that does many workhorse tasks for the Russian Armed Forces. From troop transport to ammo bearing. The most important variant to take note of is the one pictured with the zeus cannon on the back.





This is a vanilla armored vehicle with a .50 mounted in the bed. They are extremely fast but rather fragile.









The 9P129 vehicle, is a common transport for the OTR-21 Tochka Soviet tactical ballistic missile.

A nuclear warhead can be mounted instead of the most common fragmentation one.





IF YOU SEE THIS ITS ALREADY TOO LATE.

While the Sprut is meant to be a tank destroyer, 125mm HE is terrifying no matter what.










The BMP-1 and 2 come in 2 main variants that are very important to specify when called out. While the BMP-1's 76mm cannon can be deadly, the autocannon on the BMP-2 is absolutely devastating to infantry. I hope the ATGM launcher on both does not need to be mentioned. BMP's also have a troop transport compartment with an entrance at the rear of the vehicle. Once engaged, any troops riding as passengers tend to bail and return fire.








The BMP-3 is outfitted with a 100mm cannon as well as an ATGM. Has a unique enough of a profile that I believe it warranted its own section.









BMD's can be considered lighter and faster versions of the BMP, with just as deadly of an armanent. However, the BMD doesnt not have a passenger compartment.










ZSU's are never fun to deal with. They as devastating against infantry and lightly armored vehicles as they are against aircraft. Thankfully, they tend to be quite fragile and any LAT should be sufficient to deal with them.










You'll rarely see this classic tank. It's mostly used by insurgent forces and occasionally the Takistani Army. Extremely fragile, but a tank cannon is a tank cannon.









Consider it a beefed up version of the T-34. Slightly better in about every way.










Russia's MBT's might not be as deadly against infantry as previously listed vehicles, but their durability is what makes them a bigger threat. HAT launchers are almost always required to deal with these targets, especially with later models having ERA plating.










Akatsiyas are very rare to come across, and in most cases will become the number one priority to either destroy or capture once spotted.










Val's are to be treated the same as Akatsiyas.

NOTE: APM does not currently run with any fixed wing air assets, so air superiority aircraft will recieve the least amount of attention for now.






The Hip is typically a troop transport, seemingly most often used to paradrop troopers in AO's. However, they can be absolutely armed to the teeth with rocket pods, and are to be taken as a very large threat.









The Crocodile, more commonly known by its NATO designation "Hind", is a force to be reckoned with. The punch of a gunship with the utility of a troop transport.









Think of the KA-60 as a smaller Mi-8. Can't carry as many troops or rockets, but still nothing to shake a stick at.









Extremely deadly pair of attack choppers, they can take down about everything thrown at them.









The Frogfoot can kill you in many, many ways. Find cover until it is dealt with or moves on.

Referred to as a Zeus cannon, these things pack a wallop. Eliminate the crewman ASAP once spotted.
