Soviet/Russian Equipment

[Mad Russian]

The Soviets/Russians divide things up into periods - based on the rise of the Soviet Union, not the demise of Imperial Russia. For their own use in reference or analysis, of equipment and armored vehicles.

They divide them into five separate periods: pre-war (1930 to 1941); the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945); the first postwar period (1945-1965); the second postwar period (1965-1990); and the third postwar period or first Russian period (1990 to the present).

Hope this helps.

Good Hunting.
