True enough it was badly translated. It was one link of many I just now sourced using key words. Obviously US mil says one thing, Soviet says another.

It would have been an interesting article to read if it had been better written. That article must have been written by someone who does not have English as their primary language. It was so badly written I gave up after reading a few bits of it. Even the website domain has "defanse" which may be the word "defence" in another language.<br>
