could they be used to transport heavy ground equipment like MBT, SP guns, mobile SAMs etc
was this ever considered during the soviet era ?

Yes, they operated quite a few, of which the Ivan Skuridin class (27 000t DWT) built in Zhdanov comes to mind as the first Soviet built Ro Ro ships I think, but I speak under correction.
They also operated quite a few other Soviet, Finnish, Polish, or East German built Ro Ro vessels.
For example, my copy of Janes 86-87 includes the 4 Kapitan Smirnov class built in Nikolayev, which were 230m long gas turbine powered Ro Ro vessels.
Janes seems to intimate about 60 plus Ro Ro vessels at that time.

As reported by the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, on February 24, 2018, the Naval Flag was solemnly raised in Severomorsk by the two fast-moving transport-landing crafts project 02510 (BK-16) that joined the Northern Fleet. Boats, according to known data, have tactical numbers D-308 and D-2110.

Presumably, these are the first boats of the project 02510 (BK-16), built within the contract of Kalashnikov Concern, concluded in 2017, to supply the Russian Defense Ministry with six boats of the BK-16 project and ten boats of the BK-10 project. BK-16 and BK-10 is carried out by Rybinsk Shipyard JSC (Rybinsk, Yaroslavl Region, part of the Euroyakhting Group of Companies, the controlling interest of which belongs to Kalashnikov Concern JSC).

Earlier, according to the known information, in 2015-2017, the Ministry of Defense of Russia received four cutters of the project 02510 (BK-16), three of which are on the Black Sea. The head boat of this project D-296 with serial number 01 was built by JSC "Rybinsk shipyard" in 2014 and transferred to the Russian Navy after the completion of tests in June 2015 on the Black Sea. October 10, 2017 head boat crashed in Sevastopol.

Also on the Black Sea there are two larger boats of the BK-18 project, constructed in 2017 by Rybinsk Shipyard JSC.

The project boat BK-16 (project 02510), developed by Rybinsk Shipyard, is another Russian clone of the famous Swedish small combat boats of the CombatBoat 90 (CB 90) project developed by Dockstavarvet, and competes with another SV 90 clone, serially under construction for the Russian Navy - project 03160 ("Raptor") boat of the construction of JSC "Leningrad Shipyard Pella".

Simultaneously, on February 24, a ceremony was held in Severomorsk for the awarding of the name "Valery Fedyanin" to the anti-sabotage patrol boat of the Northern Fleet P-430 of project 21980 (code "Grachonok") in honor of the commander of the 61st Separate Marine Brigade of the Northern Fleet, Colonel V., who died in Syria in September 2017 AT. Fedyanin. This is the fourth boat of the project 21980 (serial number 01224) built by JSC Shipbuilding Plant Vympel (Rybinsk), which was handed over to the Russian Navy on November 9, 2017.
