Back in the 1980s, the US military wrote up quite a few field manuals and such relating to the Soviet military in English for us to enjoy now. I posted some DIA document months ago, so I'll just post the entire DIA intel report series now.

Brief overview of Soviet cruise missiles around the time OP's reports were published, although this file isn't from DIA.
A short monograph on how the Soviets would adapt to war in the 1990s in the face of reliable precision munitions and other technologies. It has a graphic showing an example of a tailor-made combined arms battalion not unlike the CA battalions of modern US Army brigade combat teams.
Another paper on the Soviets and modern war, written by Soviet military specialist David M. Glantz.
Cleaned version of the Soviet tactics in Afghanistan book I posted some time ago. Next post will have the companion Mujahideen book.

>>1990 "The soviets had to move supplies to a large group of forces about 50 lulometers away." I cant stop laughing, ffs!
