The Russian Army, officially the Russian Ground Forces (Russian: Сухопутные войска Российской Федерации, Suhopútnuiye voyská Rosseeyskoy Federácii) are the land forces of the Russian Federation. Active since 1992 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Ground Forces were formed from various parts of the Red Army. From 1992 onward, the Russian Ground Forces were withdrawn from Soviet bases in foreign regions to focus on "near abroad" affairs. They use sophisticated military tactics and perform with conventional warfare.

Battlefield 4
Singleplayer
In Battlefield 4, the Russian Army appears as a hostile force in single player. The uniforms they wear come in five varieties: one identical to the Support in multiplayer with the exception there visor for there helmet is down (similar to the PLA in SP ) who always wield a PKP, another identical to the Chinese Engineer who wields either a PP2000 or Saiga-12, a third that is like the Chinese Assault skin without goggles or a facewrap and uses a plain green camo and wields an AK-12, a fourth one is identical to the RU Recon wielding the SV-98 and the fifth functions as an AT troop using the RU Engineer model from MP it uses an AK-12 for close range and a SMAW. However, despite making use of Chinese skins, their weapons and vehicles are almost all Russian in make -- the AK-12, PP2000, PKP, SV-98 and Saiga 12 are their small arms, while they also operate T-90 main battle tanks, BMP-2 APCs, Mi-28s, and Ka-60 Kasatkas. However, they do make use of some American weapons such as the SMAW.
The RGF are only featured in Baku and Tashgar.
In Baku, the RGF is deployed to Baku, Azerbaijan to intercept Tombstone Squad from collecting intelligence from a defecting Russian military general regarding Russia's stance on Admiral Chang's coup d'état in China. Pursueing Tombstone squadron throughout Baku and when Tombstone was about to be estracted, in a last effort deployed an Mi-28 Havoc to intercept them, while destroying the extraction helicopter, did not suceeded in stoping tombstones escape.
In Tashgar, it seems the Russian Ground forces have occupied the town and surrounding areas (including a damaged dam) forcing the Marines stationed there into the old town, when tombstoned arived the RGF had gained the upperhand through out the town. When Tombstone Squad arive, they managed to fight there way through light russian armor and troops to get to Greenland, in exchange for a transport to Suez, Tombstone was to blow up a dam (which underneath it was multiple SAM sights). After fighting there way through the dam, tombstone blew up the dam. Thus neutralizing the SAM threat and were transported via a C-130 Cargo Plane.

PLA vs RGF
| Image | Map |
|---|---|
|
Golmud Railway: A map with a wide range of environs -- open, hilly lands to the south, intersected by the eponymous railway, with clusters of buildings offering mid and closer-range engagement at various points around the map. |
|
Lancang Dam: A vaguely U-shaped map, where most of the land concentrated around a road that runs through the map. It offers both naval and land engagements, with a variety of distances. |
|
Rogue Transmission: A wide-open map centered around a large radio dish. It offers largely long-range engagements with a wide variety of vehicles, although there are clusters of buildings which can allow for combat at closer ranges. |
USMC vs RGF
| Image | Map |
|---|---|
|
Zavod 311: A map set in the forest, largely revolving around an industrial complex. It features limited vehicular combat, with relatively short sightlines compared to the other vehicle-centric maps. |
|
Operation Locker: A large, two-level map which is largely enclosed. Featuring only infantry combat, it is almost purely close-quarters, with only a few corridors inside and two pathways along the outer edge. |
|
Operation Metro: A very enclosed map featuring corridor-based fighting along an underground length of subway in Paris, France. |
|
Operation Firestorm: A wide, open area set in and around a desert petroleum facility. It is largely vehicle-based, with only a few clusters of buildings for shorter ranged infantry engagements. |
|
Gulf of Oman: A fairly built-up map focused in and around a radio building. Vehicles play a large role on this map, but with short sightlines there is just as much need for infantry. |
|
Caspian Border: A large, mostly-open map focusing on vehicular combat. There are very few buildings on this map, and trees are sparse, and as a result sightlines on this map are very long. |
