Abstract:

The examination of current Soviet training objectives relating to small unit tank forces and associated training deficiencies is the theme of this paper. Specifically, the author describes the measures taken by Soviet military leaders to prepare their tankers for combat on the modern battlefield. The author will attempt to evaluate the Soviet perception of the modern anti-tank threat and its impact on armor training. The paper will conclude with an evaluation of Soviet training deficiencies published in the open press.
