10-RT and 9-RS. Most of the tanks mounted either the 10-RK or the
10-RK-26 radio. The 10-RT radios were new and their issue had been
limited to battalion and regimental commanders of tank regiments.
The 9-RS type was almost totally obsolete, having been replaced by
the 10-RK and the 10-R1c-26. See paragraph 13 a (2) for information

Armament
19. Each battery of the 459th Mortar Regiment had six or seven 120-mm

School.
D ? There were six or seven 7.62-mm LMGs. of the DPM or DP type in the
regiment.
There was no other armament in the regimentAwith the
exception of individual arms. The latter consisted of the TT pistol,
.the M 1895 Ng nI revolver, the PPSh automatic and the 7.62-mm M 1944
carbine. 0frrail7s were armed with TT pistols and mortar gunners
with the Nagant revolvers. Most first sergeants and rear service
personnel were armed with the PPSh automatic. The majority of person-
nel were armed with the 7.62-mm carbine.
21. During summer camp 1953, source heard that there would soon be a
new carbine, a new automatic pistol, and a new pistol that would all
use the same type of new ammunition. This was all hearsay and there
was nothing to back up these statements. He also heard from the chief
of Artillery Supply and Repair. that there would soon be new weapons
that used new ammunition and that this round would be smaller than
the standard 7.62-mm round. According to further rumors these new
weapons already had been issued in the USSR.

in April 1954, no new weapons appeared in the 459th Mortar Regiment.
