The Special Operations Forces Command has established itself as Russia’s foremost special forces division. Known also as the “polite people”, Russian Special Forces or the KSSO and it rivals many tier-1 western special forces.
Russia already had a number of special forces groups when the KSSO was formed. The Spetsnaz, a remnant organization from the Soviet era, filled many of the gaps in the new Russian Federation’s special forces needs. The Russian military, Federal Security Service and the Ministry of the Interior all have Spetsnaz units assigned to them.
Despite themselves being special forces on paper, they did not serve the same purpose that most Western special forces groups did. Russia would realize the necessity to add an entirely new division with a new purpose, as Western powers had. For the United States: The Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and a general new approach to special forces would emerge from Operation Eagle Claw. For Russia, the Spetsnaz failures in Beslan and Nord Ost would be their Eagle Claw. Just as the US would fail to rescue hostages taken in Iran, so too would Russia face a failure to rescue hostages taken in Moscow, with 130 dead.
The subsequent failures of the Spetsnaz and the rising usage of US and other Western special forces made Russia embrace the creation of a new group. This group would not be an extension of the Spetsnaz, instead it would be entirely independent, and it would entirely emulate its Western counterparts.
In 2012, the KSSO, going by their official name, the Komandovanie Sil Spetsial’nalnykh Operatsii (English: Special Operations Command). It established from forces transferred over from the GRU Spetsnaz. Since then, the KSSO would operate in many of the theaters that Russia seeks to expand its presence in, handling the most delicate and complex special operations.
In contrast to the Spetsnaz, the KSSO is neither numerous nor does it aim to cover as many different roles. Estimates of the team’s size are between 2000 and 2500, whereas Spetsnaz estimates are around 17,000 total personnel.
From a command standpoint, the KSSO is an independent entity from both GRU and the Russian Army.
KSSO operators fulfil a number of specialized roles in the field and according to some experts rival Zaslon. The Russian Ministry of Defense noted that some of the actions carried out by the KSSO are “…methods and of combat operations that are not typical for conventional forces - reconnaissance and sabotage, subversive, counter-terrorist, counter-sabotage, counterintelligence, partisan, anti-partisan and others”. (source) These actions alone require an extremely focused and effective individual. The expectations of the KSSO however do not end there.
