  In late July, Russian high command decided to create a new armored unit, the armored brigade.  With less
  than 2000 men and less than 100 tanks, these were easily the smallest armored units created so far.  Manpower was
  kept to a minimum and the small size made it easier for inexperienced officers to command them.  Note that they
  have no artillery other than their mortars.  The SMG unit represents a special “tank destroyer” company armed with
  flamethrowers and special demolitions.

  Note: T-40 might be replaced by BT tanks or
  even T-38.  KV-1 and T-34 could be early
  version but these brigades were being fed
  tanks right out of the factories and later ver-
  sion would probably be more prevalent.
