Video on the Soviet doctrine by the Chieftain:

I read article about polish plans for armored dyvision before 1939/yes,we could have one if we gather all our tanks and trucks there/
Some was outright stupid/no infrantry,only tanks and mechanized artillery/ other slighty better/infrantry included/ ,but even then they forget to get enough trucs for delivering fuel,and as a result after 1-2 days dyvision would stop fighting even if there was no enemy.

So,it is good thing,that we never tried to form tank dyvision or even brigade.Well,brigade MAYBE would work.Our Mechanized brigades were efficient,after all.

That's interesting. Any more info on these mechanized brigades?

we had 2,and planned 4.
It was mechanized calvary brigades with 2-3 mechanized regiments/equivalent of infrantry battalion/ on trucks,scout regiment,light tank company/Vickers E/,2 TKS recon companies,AT dyvision,artillery dyvision/both motorized/ ,AA platoon
and miners.
They were good idea,pity,that we do not have more.And,that they do not get more tanks and AT guns.
I think,that they should have light tank battalion,not company,and AT regiment istead of duvision.More AA.too.
Maybe one mechanized infrantry regiment more,too.
