Title: Soviet infantry tactics, 1925
Post by: trev on 29 July 2025, 01:13:21 AM

Here is an interesting 1925 article on Soviet infantry tactics by Tukhachevsky.  John D Salt on the Wargames Website posted this translation in 2019 but I hadn't seen it until recently.

Interesting, albeit bizarre. It's more of a brain fart than anything. To the best of my knowledge the Soviets never incorporated Maxims at platoon level and for good reason, trundling a 60+ kilo machine gun around plus ammo would have killed any mobility.

Maybe Stalin had a point when he offed Tuchachevksy?
