Reddit reviews Weapons and Tactics of the Soviet Army

My usual bible for all things Soviet "Weapons and tactics of the red army" talks about this a little. (this baby https://www.amazon.com/Weapons-Tactics-Soviet-Army-David/dp/0710603525)

Essentially, Soviet technological limits meant that they had to use a slightly larger calibre of gun to achieve comparable performance to western designs.

This goes back to ww2, where, for example, the Soviet 45mm tank gun performed about similar to the German 37mm.

The increased size may have resulted in slightly better high-explosive performance, but that's something you'd have to examine on a gun-by-gun basis.

What do you mean by modern? What kind of material do you want?
Do you want to include Grozny and Chechnya? Afghanistan?

I actually do have a few things that come to mind, though unfortunately most of it (all?) is written by the opposite side's perspective.

This PDF is a summary of lessons learned by the Ukrainians during the conflict with Russia, dated 2015. It relies solely on Ukrainian sources, but it does talk at length about what the Russians are doing, and includes the most recent use of Russian combined arms warfare.

Red Thrust by Zaloga devotes a surface level scenario to every branch of the Soviet army during a late-80s conventional war. While it wasn't written by a Soviet, it certainly has a fair bit of research behind it, and it makes a nice primer. I actually posed a tactical question to the sub about the book earlier, the comments here are quite insightful.

Fangs of the Lone Wolf is written, similar to Red Thrust, as a series of tactical vignettes from the Chechen wars, albeit entirely from the Chechen perspective. In it's attempts to be thorough, however, it cannot help but cover Russian tactics.

Weapons and Tactics of the Soviet Army is a much more thorough work than Zaloga's. It's only downside is that it's written by Westerners during the Cold War. It primarily focuses on company sized units and above, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a bit dull at times, but it's professional level material, and very good for that.

Although it's only a web article, perhaps this post about the Soviet tactics used in Afghanistan could be of merit to you?

Lastly, a personal favourite of mine is Red Army by Ralph Peters. It takes the typical WW3 techno-thriller and flips it on it's head - it is solely from the perspective of the Soviet ground forces, and is a remarkably down to earth and human war novel. While hardly a technical work, Peters is no fool when it comes to either military matters or writing, and the novel is a delight.

David C. Isby has an amazing book on Soviet Army
