БТГ (Battalion Tactical Group; перевод сокращения, принятый в официальных публикациях ВС США (см., напр., Russian New Generation Warfare Handbook): The latest US intelligence assessments place more than 50 so-called "Battalion Tactical Groups" deployed on and around the Ukraine border with six more in transit on the way. These groups, which can typically include as many as 900 personnel each, are highly diversified and fairly self-sufficient combat units with a combination of troops, artillery, anti-tank weapons, reconnaissance and engineering units. BTGs, as they're known, played a leading role in Russian military activity in Ukraine in 2014.  cnn.com serrgio) |
