6:55 In the context of scounting, it is extordinarily unlikely that the officer would know or be allowed to say or write the word “Spetsnaz.” At this point in history, the very EXISTENCE of Warsaw Pact special operators was highly classified, and their special operators were not allowed to wear anything like Western qualification badges. “Spetsnaz” is a very generic Russian-language acronym that simply means "special-purpose forces," conveying minimal information. This ambiguity means that the term can refer to various entities, ranging from military railway maintenance technicians to SWAT-like units, riot squads, and formations similar to the special response units and site security forces of US agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Department of State, Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Prisons, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Marshals Service, Secret Service, Central Intelligence Agency, Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Energy, National Security Agency, and others. For example, the special missions unit of the Russian tax police is considered a spetsnaz unit. Contrary to popular belief, the term is not limited to military commando formations and does not imply anything about the experience level of the operatives, nor the presence or absence of conscripts in the formation. Additionally, the term is often used for similar formations in former Soviet states. The use of the term does not indicate whether a unit is comparable to commando forces in the West and elsewhere - some are, while others are not.
Tbf the term ‘Special Forces’ are used similarly in the west - GSG 9 or GIGN are included in the special forces umbrella yet have a completely different role and specialisation (being police units) than say the Green Berets. Plus something like the British Royal Marines, while being ‘commandos’ aren’t generally considered as special forces with the special forces role being taken up by the SBS in the Royal Navy. Throwing further confusion into the mix is the father unit of western special forces units, the SAS, having being utilised in both classic special operations and in a more police style counter terrorist role; with the unit essentially being employed in similar roles to both GIGN and Delta, often simultaneously (albeit with different squadrons taking the respective roles). However the SAS being military and having a preference for making sure that threats are completely neutralised has led to the counter terror role increasingly being handled by police units (CTSFO - Counter Terrorist Specialist Firearms Officers trained by/alongside the SAS) rather than the SAS alone. Ultimately there is a lot of overlap in the kind of tactics and skills required for both types of units (i.e. covert surveillance and ‘high speed, low drag’ rapid intervention) but as always the devil is in the details.
@@kalik3268 Well one can't do exact one to one, since the organizational stuctures and taskings are different. Since GRU is military it organizationally maps to US DoD intelligence say for example Defense Intelligence Agency and National Reconnaissance Office. organizationally CIA maps best to KGB First directorate tasked with foreign intelligence. or the current descent the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service SVR As I understand the big curve ball is against popular image GRU often was the bigger player in Soviet system of foreign intelligence instead of First Directorate. Where as in USA CIA is bigger player than DIA. Or maybe DIA as GRU has been staying more out of the lime light. GRU stole the Manhattan Secret. Then again the recent Illegals thing was SVR run operation of crazy magnitude of setting up insertion of long duration deep cover agents as did first directorate. Seemed to be their favorite specialty. It's all kinds of mixed up. For example some western double agents reported to KGB, some to GRU and so on. For example apparently Hanssen reported to GRU while Ames was KGB run. On top of this it is all messed up in reporting. Heck Soviets now and then trampled over each others ops and had turf wars over KGB and GRU running the foreign intelligence and messing ups each others ops by not coordinating correctly. Another crazy example Sergei Skripal was traded for SVR illegals by Russia, but then was tried to be assassinated by GRU operators. Another case Assasination in Qatar was performed by GRU, but support was SVR. Which lead to bitter relations, when GRU got caught and blamed that on SVR for bungling up the extraction of their operator. Which lead to the Qataries arresting the GRU assasin.
as the movie explains KGB was PRIMARELY counter inteligence agency while GRU was PRIMARELY inteligence and it had satelites . GRU was also making tecnical assesment of enemy capabilities ( they were abile to analize tecnical and tecnological aspects of stuff that they discover )
Что хорошо получилось в фильме так это имитация русского акцента. Остальное полная ерунда. Не впечатлил. Режиссура ужасная! Да и бутафоры с костюмерами откровенно провалили проект. На столе у майора только не хватало бутылки водки Столичная и ее распития с лейтенантом под крики "na zdorovie!".
Plot twist; the head officer is actually Dracula.
That the most informed lieutenant in the Soviet red army,tovarish. Make sure kgb keeps a eye on him
I was expecting Bugs Bunny to pop out at 00:08
haha! d-d-d-d-d that's all comrades!
I wish the US Army has vids like these for the Chinese People's Army! Unfortunately, our "woke" society wouldn't tolerate the Chinses accents...
The film skips after mentioning drones. What was the Soviet issued drone for this period?

What's crazy is that isn't a joke
excellent training now let us see something on SVR/FSB/GRU & SPETNAZ
This guy takes notes from the map is very suspicious :D

Super Bowl XVI Highlight Intro Music at the beginning of this.
Pretty amazing . ...
What was the quote and reflection on General Patton? I failed to understand the significance .
I dont know what is worse the bad accents or the source audio they got off recording a phonograph at 100x amplification of volume!!!!!
this is exactly why i like these
i think the guy who played the major did a good job
14:45 ironically both sides in Ukraine have had to relearn this harsh lesson - using cell phones in a proper war is a death sentence.
What in the world is the GRU?
Soviet military intelligence. As the film says, it's kind of complicated.
Christopher Taylor foreign military intelligence (GRU) of Russia, their version of the CiA .

GRU is military intelligence service, KGB was secret service and intelligence service. They did compete.
as the movie explains
KGB was PRIMARELY counter inteligence agency
while GRU was PRIMARELY inteligence and it had satelites .
GRU was also making tecnical assesment of enemy capabilities ( they were abile to analize tecnical and tecnological aspects of stuff that they discover )
Plus guy you can subtitulated yo spanish????please.thanks
Are actors drunk or something?
No just verrry good rrrusssiaan accent. Sovietsss talksss lika thiss yeeesss.
Yeah; they're playing Russkis
I suspect they are immigrants chosen for this film especially for their accents.
@@tea_and_crumpets6919 No way. They sound like americans who pretend to speak with russian accent. In a very clamsy way.
