Where this comes from: the publisher's own page for Tachanka, read October 12, 2026. The record fields, the ratings and the loadout are the publisher's. The prose on this page is ours: the ability is described here in our own words rather than reproduced, and the written biography and psychological report on the source page are not copied at all.

Illustration of a male operator in an olive heavy helmet with a slotted face plate, braced behind a drum-fed machine gun mounted on a window sill, ammunition belt at the ready — Original illustrationOur own composition of the operator, drawn from the character art the publisher publishes for him: the olive-green heavy helmet with its slotted face plate and the marking on it, the olive Russian digital camouflage jacket, the olive plate carrier with its chest pouches, the Russian flag patch on the left upper arm, the black gloves and the drum-fed machine gun with its wooden stock. The window sill and the mounting are our own scene rather than a location in the game. This is drawn artwork, not a screenshot of the actual game, and not a photograph of a real person.

The Unique Ability

SHUMIKHA LAUNCHER is this operator's unique ability. What it does:

Tachanka's Shumikha Launcher fires heavy incendiary grenades that bounce, with the fuse starting only after the first bounce. He carries ten, and the launcher holds seven.

Loadout

The publisher lists the operator's weapons and gadgets as four groups. Two primary weapons and two secondary weapons are carried as alternatives, and the two gadgets are chosen before the round:

Category	Item
Primary Weapon	DP27 — Light Machine Gun
Primary Weapon	9x19VSN — SUBMACHINE GUN
Secondary Weapon	PMM — HANDGUN
Secondary Weapon	GSh-18 — HANDGUN
Secondary Weapon	Bearing 9 — Machine Pistol
Gadget	Barbed Wire
Gadget	PROXIMITY ALARM
Gadget	Deployable Shield
Unique Ability	SHUMIKHA LAUNCHER

Loadout: the publisher's own operator page, read October 12, 2026. A weapon's type is the publisher's own label for it. Where the publisher lists no type beside an item, none is shown rather than one being supplied.

The Record Fields

The publisher publishes a biography for each operator, and this page carries its record fields — real name, date of birth and place of birth — in the table at the top. The publisher's page carries a written biography and a psychological report beside these record fields. They are the publisher's own narrative text, so this page carries the record fields and links to the source for the rest.

Update Rule

Abilities and ratings change with balance patches, and this page tracks the publisher's own operator page rather than trying to keep pace with every adjustment. The date at the top records when that page was read, not when the game last changed. If a value here disagrees with the publisher's page, the publisher's value is correct and this page is out of date.
