fighting agaisnt this small 6 man unit was remarkably challenging despite the fact they where only armed with SKS's. While some of the rifleman accurately aimed and fired their rifles at us,we took cover and others fired rifle grenades at us pinning us down. When the men in my unit broke from cover to fire at the grenadiers the unit sniper picked them off and they whole team was supported by accurate rifle fire.

The unit I was in was what what left of a Russian motor rifle sqaud. We had 5 guys armed with AK-74's and one PKM machine gunner. We had no RPG's or GP-25 and no sniper, they took out our Machine gunner imediatly and everytime a rifleman in the company picked up the machine gun they shot him. A couple of other Russians soldiers were wounded by shrapnel from the rifle grenades. We did manage to wound the sqaud leader after which they broke contact.
