The famous GRU special forces!

I first heard this from my father, a military junkie.

There are no soldiers in our family, but my father is a die-hard military fan. Especially with a soft spot for the Russian special forces!

Therefore, I still have some knowledge of the Russian special services.

The Russian special forces are a collective term for special forces that are subordinate to the central government departments of the former Soviet Union and Russia, such as the KGB, the Federal Security Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, etc.

The Russian special forces were created in the former Soviet Union on the instructions of the head of the KGB, Yuri Androbov.

The Russian special forces were well-organized and extremely agile, and at one time the pride of the former Soviet Union.

In the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan, in the Russian-era war in Chechnya, and in the fight against terrorism at home, the special forces have made many achievements.

The mystery of the Russian special forces in the past has gradually been unveiled due to the frequent exposure in various operations.

The predecessor of the Russian special forces was the KGB special forces of the former USSR, which was subordinate to the KGB of the former USSR State Security Council.

KGB units were able to carry out direct attacks, carry out sabotage missions, seize important facilities such as radio stations, airfields, and offices of heads of government in a coup d'état, replace the political and military power of the overthrown, deal with the surrender of troops stationed in the enemy's rear, and perform other special tasks......

The KGB special forces consisted of a small specialized core of several hundred people, including secret spies. KGB special forces carry out selective, few, and secure missions, including strategic sabotage and the elimination of a country's or region's political leaders, key figures.

The internal security forces of the Russian Federation have a number of special forces such as "Warrior", "Ross", "Rosich", "Skifer", among which the "Warrior" special forces are the most famous.

Dad was more interested in the special forces that fought abroad. The ones I hear the most are "Alpha", "Vympel" and "GRU".

"Alpha" special forces literature big enxuea

On July 29, 1974, the Chairman of the State Security Committee of the former USSR signed a top-secret order on the formation of a completely new type of top-secret force within the KGB system, the main task of which was to combat terrorism and maintain internal security. As a result, the "Force", also known as the "Alpha" special forces, came into being.

At that time, the National Security Council gave the Alpha Group such a dead order to form special forces capable of any task in a very short period of time.

Despite the extremely high positioning and difficult tasks, at the beginning of the formation of the Alpha Special Forces, everything needed to start from scratch. In the early days of the formation of the Alpha troops, there were no secret training bases, no special weapons and equipment, and no systematic personnel training programs.

However, even in this situation of poverty and whiteness, the Alpha Group completed the formation of its troops in a very short period of time and quickly formed its combat effectiveness. Immediately afterwards, he established his prestige in a series of actual battles.

At the beginning of the creation of the Alpha Group, the selection of members can be described as "one in a million". After a rigorous selection process, the Alpha Group had an initial contingent of less than 30 members, all of whom were outstanding young KGB officers who had passed rigorous exams before they could enter the most elite special forces.

This is the prototype of the Alpha Special Forces personnel!

The presence of the Alpha Special Forces can be said to be closely related to national security and special operations, this force was created in principle to conduct small-scale special operations, and they are especially adept at going into combat in extraordinary situations without cover, without concealment, without local support.

The nascent "Alpha" group is subordinate to the Federal Security Service, and the peculiarity of this special operations unit is

First, to carry out special tasks.

Second, it has a unique organizational structure.

Thirdly, politically, with absolute reliability.

Fourth, through special selection, training and professional training.

Fifth, it is directly subordinate to the highest administrative authority.

Sixth, created with the aim of preparing for participation in conflicts and wars at any level.

The first is the latest.
