Again, the strenghts below reflect prewar levels. TOEs are almost the same from my previous post so I'll write here only the changes of the second version and the new ones.

TANK BATTALION
For the Battalion Headquarters we have: 1 MBT command tank, 2 BRDM-4 and 2 RPG-16. Plus the 3 tank companies each with 13 MBT

ANTITANK BATTALION
For the ATGM Battery: 9 BRDM-3 and 9 RPG-16

TANK DIVISION
1 Divisional Headquarters
2 Tank Regiments
2 Motorized Rifle Regiments (BMP)
1 SAM Regiment
1 Artillery Regiment
1 Reconnaissance Battalion
1 Helicopter Squadron

MOTORIZED RIFLE DIVISION
1 Divisional Headquarters
2 Motorized Rifle Regiments (BMPs)
2 Motorized Rifle Regiments (BTRs)
1 Artillery Regiment
1 SAM Regiment
1 Antitank Battalion
1 Reconnaissance Battalion
1 Helicopter Squadron

The new ones:

INTERNAL DEFENSE RIFLE DIVISION
1 Divisional Headquarters
3 Rifle Regiments (BTR)
1 Artillery Regiment
1 SAM Regiment
1 Antitank Battalion
1 Reconnaissance Battalion
1 Helicopter Squadron

MACHINEGUN ARTILLERY DIVISION

That's all for the Russians from this book.
