Equipment of the Russian Ground Forces

###### *From: Russian Ground Forces*

This page lists out every Russian Ground Force equipment in service with the RGF since (O.S.) 1901 (501 A.C.).

## Individual Infantry Equipment

### Field Gear / Uniforms

Soldat Standard Personnel Uniform

The "Soldat" (Rossi: Cолдат, "Soldier") was the field uniform of the Russian Ground Forces, renown for their excellent insulation for protection in cold harsh weather. It's utilitarian nature allows these uniforms to be useful for both civilian and military uses. These uniforms saw service up even after the end of the 1st Great Cryptid War and has often been seen worn by Major Llana Mitsukova.

## Firearms

### Assault Rifles

AN-12 Assault Rifle

The AN-12 is the first member of the Novichkova family of rifles for the Russian military. The AN-12 rifle was a 7.41x45mm automatic rifle with a 30-round magazine. The AN-12 entered military service in the RGF and was designed for simple mass-production, reliability and firepower all in a single weapon system which allowed it to be one of the more effective and iconic service weapons during the 1st Great Cryptid War. The AN-12 has also been widely adopted by many other armed forces, with it's design influencing many of the succeeding Russian rifles in Navalpunk Season 2.

## Armoured Fighting Vehicles

### Heavy Tanks / Main Battle Tanks

B-47 Main Battle Tank
• Reserve: ~

The B-47 is the Russian heavy tank built in (O.S.) 1855. Only 8,000 tanks were built, and was extensively used in combat. This was the first main battle tank produced by Russia that was designed towards countering heavy armour of human / sentient nation's tanks, primarily the Avorian designed, Eternian Commonwealth A7A1 'Rath' main battle tank and became responsible for the development of succeeding tank classes which entered service in the Russian Ground Forces. This design was created by renown vehicle designer Leonov Viktorivich Chizhnikov and was seen in action extensively throughout the later half of Navalpunk Season 1 and a significant part of Season 2. This successful design however was without limitations, the B-47 was too complex and expensive to produce (approx. 844 — 1,024 tanks per month) and was replaced with the B-50/51 main battle tank which was more economical for the post-Cryptid war era.

B-41 Main Battle Tank
• Reserve: <100

The B-41 is a Russian main battle tank that was designed to supplement the B-47. These tanks were a replacement of the B-34 medium tank and was widely considered one of the more successful tank designs of the (O.S.) 1860s. It was produced in greater numbers vis-a-vis than the B-47 which allowed it to become the designated mainstay battle tank of the Russian Ground Forces while still being highly capable in service, this was achieved by the various extensively using effective cost cutting measures such as welding, steel bending, subassembly construction and decreasing of total steel used with use of light materials and effective armour 54o angling measures. These tanks specifications often changed over their service throughout the 1st Great Cryptid War and even afterwards, with each upgrade being capable of extending their service life to several more years.
