    "The Spetznas were armed with the new, elite rifle: an AK-47. However, since it was an experimental rifle, they also carried the other AK-47. Additionally, they were trained in standard Soviet weapons, such as the AK-47, the machine-AK-47, the sniper AK-47, and the AK-47 with a rocket attached."

      When you come up with a great idea, you run with it. Even now they are still updating the AK platform. Need a pistol caliber carbine? Vityaz, which looks exactly like an AK.
      AK-47, AKM, AK74, AKS--74u, AK 100 series, now AK 12, 15, and 19.... It never ends! Davai!

      The Russians have realized that the AK platform can provide almost all their military small arms requirements so they have upgraded to the "AK 100" system, which provides submachine guns, carbines, assault rifles in a variety of configurations, light machine guns, designate marksman/sniper rifles, semi or full auto shotguns, also semi auto hunting rifles to supply their military, police, security, civilian and export needs, with the added benefit of vastly decreased production costs, less tooling setups, increased interchangeability of parts, and the ability to suddenly increase production of any configuration to suit a particular need.

When we talk about Spetsnaz in Afghanistan, it is mainly the GRU brigades and partly the "Alpha" of the KGB that are understood by it. These two special forces worked in Afghanistan. The situation changed in Chechnya when the special forces of the airborne forces appeared - the 45th Airborne Brigade (at that time the regiment, you could see them landing in Gostomel in 2022). Special purpose police units, the FSB "Vimpel" or "Pennaut" in-English (colleagues of the Alpha group) took part in Chechnya. There were even special forces... prison service. By the way, they proved themselves worthy. But all this diversity, which has expanded even more to the present day, did not exist in Afghanistan. Then it was mainly GRU and "Alfa"

He is now also godfather of my 2 kids. He participated in a raid to capture a high ranking mujahedeen. They succeeded btw. He also told me about how they monitored communications between mujahedeen from a very long distance, I was baffled about the technology they already had back then. He's very well spoken, very intelligent and polite person. If you would see him on the street, you would never think he's a spetznaz/GRU veteran, and he also doesn't like to brag about it. He did his job, lost some friends back then, and made it back home. That's the most important.

    Spetsnaz is a contraction of their name in Russian, “chasti spetsial naznacheniya nogo”, or “troops of special designation”. The spetsnaz were organized to be like the American Green Berets, but with more focus on direct action and sabotage. The GRU Spetnaz is the best of the best, although KGB spets gruppe Al’fa (Alpha) would argue that designation. The GRU is military intelligence, while the KGB is ostensibly civilian, like the CIA. GRU Desant are spetsnaz divers, the equivalent of Navy SEALs. KGB Vympel is a murder team...government trained and financed assassins. KGB OMON are oriented towards keeping the peace in prisons.

It was a much more fractured group based on ethnic and tribal lines and unsurprisingly collapsed after the Soviets were gone and power was to be decided. Thus the Taliban coalesced to represent the dominant Pashtun ethnic group and institute strict religious law. The US however primarily supplied the more moderate groups within the Mujahadeen and what would later become the Northern Alliance and help us fight the Taliban.

    This is the stuff I'm looking for! Ugh, there's SO MUCH World War 2 content on RUclips coming out every week, and all I want is to get a taste of the battles that actually have some relevance to my life.

      WW2 has relevance to your life. It's why you've just said and have the freedom to say "I want is to get a taste of the battles that actually have some relevance to my life." as opposed to "Ich möchte einen Vorgeschmack auf die Schlachten bekommen, die tatsächlich eine gewisse Relevanz für mein Leben haben." Remember that when thinking WW2 was a war fought long ago and the time that has since past doesn't means little to you now. It was such a large battle it is still is very relevant today....

      Fun fact - Fins lost that war.

      @@TheGranicd Fun fact, finland had 3 million people living in it at the time, They had less resources and factories than Ukraine SSR, Less capable bodies for the war, and a massive front; Yet for 3 months Finland was a russian grave, Until they directed all available resources in a chokepoint. Tiny little finland killed 300k~ Russians, and there are estimates that the number is up to 1 Million, while losing less than 100k men. So, Yeah, winning isn't impressive if you are disgustingly more powerful than the opponent.

      @@@TheGranicd At Least, they didn't lose their independence and never became part of USSR, like Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) in 1940.

    A Spetsnaz op was the one that ended the 2004 Beslan School Siege, where militants held approx 1000 people including children host-age for three days. They went in killed the majority of hostiles and exfiled. But the follow up operation, the removal of the host_ages by regular troops, police and medical personnel was severely bungled, resulting in the deaths of several hundred of the hostages.
