Equipment:
The standard rifle squad are equipped with 7.62x39mm Assault Rifles - usually indigenous or Soviet AK-47s or AKMs, Yugoslav M70s, or Chinese Type 56s - as well as a machine gun, an RPG-7 launcher, and usually several RPG-18 or RPG-22 systems. Squads will also typically utilize rifle and hand grenades. Light anti-armor systems AT-7 and medium machine guns PK are organized on the company level, while heavier antiarmor systems AT-3, AT-4, AT-5, SPG-9 etc, mortars 82mm and 120mm, grenade launcher fire support systems AGS, and any air defense are organized on the battalion level.
Most rifle units are truck-mounted, using the Ural-4320 and Ural-375D series of vehicles as a standard troop transports. However, higher-readiness units use armored personnel carriers BTR-60, BTR-70, BTR-80 as standard transports.
Artillery systems are quite mismatched. Each Regiment is responsible for its own Regimental Artillery Group, which include 122mm D-30 and older 122mm M-30 howitzers and 152mm D-20 howitzers. A select few Yugoslav M84 NORA 152mm gun-howitzers have been procured as well, but they are quite scarce. In the Independent Heavy Gun Battalion, 130mm M-46, 152mm 2A65 Msta-B and 152mm 2A36 Giatsint-B guns, as well as extra 152mm D-20 guns, are grouped. No rocket artillery has thusfar been acquired or deployed. Other field guns, include the 100mm BS-3, 100mm T-12, and 85mm D-48, have also been fielded - mostly from ex-Soviet stocks.
Tank systems are comprised of several dozen T-54A and T-55A tanks, grouped at the Regimental level.
Anti-Aircraft systems include SA-7 and SA-14 MANPADS systems, assorted 12.7mm and 14.5mm machine guns, and anti-aircraft autocannons 57mm S-60, several of which are mounted on old ZSU-57-2 systems.
