Often, the Spetsnaz are thought of as Army commando units.
In reality, however, Spetsnaz are not a specific tactical unit but a more general clandestine force which were deployed at the behest of the Soviet intelligence security services for special missions.

"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."
Yeah
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!
Don't you forget about the civilian AK-based guns: the Saiga, the Vepr and the TG carbine.
And the full auto or semi 22 gauge shotguns Saiga and others
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.

I've heard some of these soldiers got kidnapped by some floating balloon device... Probably just a rumour
Metal gear solid was pretty good
Pretty dangerous job, being a soldier. It heard it's safer to work at the life-size inflatable Mujahideen doll factory.
And when they heard soldiers being put to sleep often because of darts on their heads, they started issuing helmets. Then later they'd carry rocket launchers while on patrol, and abandon their AK-74s for an AK-47 and modernize their Mosin Nagant rifles with a custom chassis.

Cuz I use a man's wallet. Made of leather, with space for 1 stack of cash in several denominations.
Unlike a tin can with a welded bobby pin to hold 3 pieces of toilet paper sold by Ridge.
@ because when the internet goes down, you go down.
@ where I live internet access is spotty. I also don't like third parties keeping track of every little thing I purchase.
Lastly, cash is much more liquid than an insolvent bank.
I use plastic for online purchases. That's it.
@@jintarokensei3308
Banks don't explode unless you live in Argentinia or Zimbabwe or something. Plus cash can fold even easier through hyper-inflation.
There is nobody tracking you. Unless it's the US or North Korea, in which case, make better laws against it.
@ explode is a bit dramatic. I never said cash is safe. Cash is just better than debt. Pretty cut and dry really.
@ I kill the robbers.
Also I'll hardly get invaded and robbed for a few hundred bux.
I keep my assets in shares and goods. But I use cash for daily transactions.
And on the off chance that I was at gunpoint, I'd just give them the cash.300-400 ain't worth dying for.
And my concern over safety isn't crime related.
Interesting to see the Spetsnaz having near identical role as the Green Berets. A good knowledge of local language, customs and terrain. Infiltrate in small units deep behind enemy lines. Act as a force multiplier for the conventional army.

I'd love to see that
I honestly think that the wallet they were advertising is garbage.
It looks ridiculous and very unsafe from theft.
Lynchy The Classical Liberal it’s probably is garbage because they still have to advertise their “reveloutionary” wallet on TH-cam
Lynchy The Classical Liberal what's the point in something that holds notes but can't hold change anyway.
The soviet tactics during the Soviet Afghanistan war we mostly stationary. That's why the guerillas can easily out flank the soviet troops because they are not moving from one place to another.
Heard about this few years ago, forget who told about it. They just said, better be a moving target, than a fish in a barrel.
or fortify yourself better like the USA troops do.
@@KandiKlover if the cia helped taliban against us forces...
The soviets still managed a kill ratio of 9 to 1 and pushed the Mujahideen past the Pakistani border several times. They didn't lose because of that, they lost because they did not have enough men to guard the frontier nor the money to stay.
Dude... In the Afghan war, 15,000 Soviet soldiers and 100,000 Mujahideen were killed. The Soviets drove the Mujahideen into a corner, the USSR not only lost the war, but also did not win it. That is, no political successes and benefits have been achieved.
@@MrAlepedroza You mean 9 mujheads killed for 1 Soviet killed?

“Spetsnaz” literally just means “special forces” in Russian. Seriously put it into google translate.
I was just about to say this lol. I remember when I started to learn to speak Russian I was severely disappointed that "Спецназ" only means special forces.
Specnaz are 2 words combinated together to form short word

It even means a simpler “special purpose”, which sounds almost non military when not shortened

@@NoNo-bw5cq but the Seleucids *were* Alexander's empire, that how the diadochoi worked. and also Alexander coudnt deal with the local tribes in a practical manner since they used guerilla warfare so he used terror tactics for a bit then moved on to India and stationed Iranian (Persian) troops to control the Afganistan region. the US has been there for two decades (and according to them its not an occupation), if they manage to stay as long as the Seleucid empire, we can discuss this again.
The soviet union was gonna collapse anyway
"Everyone is gangsta untill they invade Afghanistan"- Alexander the great, Persian empire, British Empire, Indian empire, Mongols, Soviets empire, American empire
Alexander actually did succeed in conquering Afghanistan.He was defeated by purus, a small king from modern day Punjab .India Kings like Ashok and Raja Ranjit Singh conquered Afghanistan.
Tamerlan conquered Afghanistan twice
Indian empires never tried to invade Afghanistan
Except Alexander, some Indian leaders, and Americans all won there. The British won eventually but it was more a political victory by getting the leaders on their side then it was a military victory. Persia also won there for awhile but gave it up after awhile
@S.K 123 What does that even mean? Do you consider Ghurids and Ghaznavis Afghans?

" You say civilian casualties, I say padded stats. " - Spetsnaz
A friend of mine was in Spetznaz in Afghanistan. He was from Belorussia. He told me some stories....He just looks like a regular guy, not even big or something, but he did things i have very big respect for! He now lives quietly in Belgium, with wife and kids. 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.

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.

Is the VDV part of Spetsnaz?
@@danonen7316 no , VDV are paratroopers and spetsnaz are special operation forces (alfa, vympel,sobr,omon)
If your interested in the Soviet Afghan War I would recommend watching a movie called “The Beast”
Thats a good film
That's a stupid propaganda movie made by rich american jews. If you want to watch a war movie go check 9th company.
@@alamaniac I'm in agreement the beast isn't that good. What's much better is:
Afghan Breakdown (Afganskiy Izlom), the first in-depth movie about the war, produced jointly by Italy and the Soviet Union, in full cooperation with the Red Army, in 1991.
Dogshit CIA propaganda
Experience in the Afghan War 1989 is better than the beast

6:30 АК-74 на момент ввода ОКСВА уже давно стал основным автоматом в советской армии, а СпН использовал вместо него АКМС не потому, что 5.45 автомат был ненадёжным или недоведённым - он сразу получился хорошим, а, в основном потому, что 7.62 можно было использовать с глушителем, и у духов основная часть вооружения была такими-же, только китайскими АК, АКМ, и СКС, и можно было через трофеи пополнять боекомплект в долгих рейдах
Вроде как в основном духи использовали египетские АКМ, разве нет?

Technically you're right. The point of any battle is to scare the other side enough that they quit an call it a day
Soviets: *stays 10 years in Afghanistan* Okay guys, let's leave.
The US: *stays 18+ years in Afghanistan* Let's *stay* ! :)
The U.S. now: "F#€k, we lost."
Russia: "I warned you."
Actually the US can't wait to get out.
JellyFish they’ve waited 18 years, pretty sure they’ll wait more at this point
If the Soviet Union knew that Lithium would eventually become an important natural resource in battery making for Smart Phones and Electric vehicles, I am sure they would've stayed a lot longer. Afghanistan was more of a geopolitical asset than a resource one.

They never mention who supplied the afghans with stinger missiles.
Also, they haven't mentioned that the Afgan "Democratic Government" in reality was under full taliban control.
@@slavkobesson1472 NAH , it was never , Till this day afghanistan is having puppet government 😝in power but only differences is Its limited to kabul while.taliban took all over the part

Some British guy who was a SAS. I think he wrote a book about it called The Shooting Gallery.
Why does it matter? Gee.....I wonder who helped supply the NVA and VC during the Vietnam War.
The last track used in this video made the spetsnaz look so so so badass
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.
This was very informative. Thanks
ага
Umm... KGB OMON? OMON is ministry of internal affairs unit. And they are oriented to solve wide diapason of tasks e.g. riot control, counter terroristic operations, regular police support, etc. There are ministry of justice special forces take part in solving any riot-like problems in penitentiary facilities. And vympel is only counter-terroristic unit. Are you kidding? You know nothing about russian special forces.
@MrZapparin 🤖
Vympel are also anti air missiles, sick

Fun Fact: The tan/sand colored standard issued uniforms of the Red Army at the time are known as “Afghanka.” The Spetznaz were given suits known as “Mabuta” which were a cream color. The green/white camouflage pattern is called “Berezka, or KLMK” and are sniper suits, just worn over the standard uniform.
funny i haven't seen the altyn helmet being mentioned in this video aswell. the altyn (and its early psh-77 predecessor) were titanium helmets that were well used by more elite spetsnaz formations like alfa and vympel.
@@joao-gq7by they made a separate video about the helmet

Wow. What a boring unoriginal comment (yawn).
I trained in the martial arts that the spetz knots are trained in. The main thing is if they are trained to fight multiple opponents at once and also to fight with knives, to fight with sharpened shovels, and also to fight while exhausted. One of the most unique and interesting martial arts in the world.
