CMA: Soviet BMD-1 by Oleksandr

Oleksandr — Sun, 18 Mar 2018 17:40:26 +0000

NOTE: This mod was updated due to a highlight made by one of my subscribers. Previously I’ve used base blue-green texture but that one was a base color for mountain camouflage pattern. Due to the balance of my CMA mods I’ve decided to avoid that blue-green thing, and cover these BMD’s with same camouflage I used in my BMP-1 and BMP-1D mods.

BMD was created to increase mobility, protection and firepower of Airborne units.

It’s armed with 73 mm smooth-bore semi-automatic cannon, 3x 7,62 mgs + 3x ATGMs.

I was taken into service in 1969.

This vehicle became a start of a new era in Soviet approach to its Airborne forces (eventhough, there were other VDV vehicles even before BMD family showed up).

Even today pretty much all modern airborne forces tactics of Eastern European countries are affected by appearing of this vehicle.

And appearing of those tactics and vehicles became possible due to one man – Vasily Filippovich Margelov.

The man who had a vision, the man who’ve done a lot, the man we will always remember.

This mod was created in memory of THE “real father” of VDV.

Enjoy!

CMA: Soviet BMP-1D by Oleksandr

Oleksandr — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 21:26:28 +0000

This mod will provide you with BMP-1D of the 66th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade.

Note: In order to make this mod work you have to download Soviet BMP-1 mod (from this website). Direct link: http://cmmodsiii.greenasjade.net/?p=5733

BMP-1D was created in 1982 for Afghan war special. Its armor was increased and because of that BMP-1D (as well as BMP-2D) have lost ability to swim.

AT system was also taken away and instead of that turret was upgraded with smoke launcher system.

Enjoy!

CMA: Soviet BMP-1 by Oleksandr

Oleksandr — Sat, 20 Jan 2018 17:10:44 +0000

Recamouflaged BMP-1 with a tactical sign of the 66th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade.

Most of the time this brigade was operating close to Pakistanian borders.

Brigade was involved in many different operations in period from 1979 to 1989.

At certain periods in time this brigade was marked as “strenghthened” because sometimes it had rocket artillery battery, 152 mm self-propelled gun battery and separate helicopter regiment in its disposal.

CMA: Soviet Early Summer Uniform by Oleksandr

Oleksandr — Fri, 19 Jan 2018 19:44:37 +0000

This mod will provide you with khaki colored early soviet summer uniforms.

Certain details were added to early years summer uniforms.

Pretty much everything was retextured.

Due to minimalism in provided game textures – modding this game is complicated.

But the longest work starts from the smallest step. So here we go.

Enjoy!

CMA: Guards BTR-60 by Oleksandr

Oleksandr — Wed, 17 Jan 2018 20:44:23 +0000

This mod will add reworked BTR-60 to this game. These vehicles were used by Soviets in throughout the war. They were also used by DRA forces as their main apc.

Interesting fact – these BTRs were used in one of the first operation of KGB + GRU special forces in Afghanistan – Palace of Amin Assault .

It was then when Soviets understood that jumping off this thing wasnt very safe. In that operation few KGB special forces operators died specifically because of the design of these things.

Yet, operation itself was a major success for Soviets. According to Soviet side sources soviets lost only 20 men (5 KGB operators, 9 paratroopers, 6 members of “Muslim” battalion) while killing nearly 800 men (400 men according to western sources) from Amins security forces, including himself and 2 of his sons. Obviusly such kill/death ratio became possible because certain factors were involved – massive usage of supressive fire provided by Shilkas, and additional support from BMP’s.

Anyhow this vehicle is still in use today in many countries, and I hope that you will enjoy this fresh look during your personal Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Enjoy!

CMA: 101st Motorized Rifle Regiment BTR-70 by Oleksandr

101st Motorized Rifle Regiment was deployed in Afghanistan in late December of 1979 and remained there up untill January 1989. It was an active element of “5th Guards Zimnovnikovskaya Order of Kutuzov Motorized Rifle Division Named After the 60th Anniversary of the USSR” division (and yes this is the name of the unit, yes that long).

101st Motorized Rifle Regiment took an active role in several major USSR operations in Afghanistan.
