Chapter 247: Russia's Special Forces (Part II)

Finally, let's talk about the real special forces "GRU".

Yuri said that they were real soldiers, and that was not wrong at all! The members of the GRU are all from the army.

On November 5, 1918, the Red Army of the former Soviet Union formally established the Field Command Registration Bureau for espionage reconnaissance and coordination of the activities of various reconnaissance agencies of the army, which gradually evolved into today's Russian military reconnaissance unit, the Main Directorate of Military Intelligence of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, that is, the well-known "GRU" special forces.

The GRU special forces were created in the 50s of the 20th century, when Defense Minister Marshal Zhukov proposed to the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU to create a special intelligence subversive unit in the border military district, which could sneak behind enemy lines to carry out sabotage activities in the event of a war or a pre-war crisis.

The GRU special forces are special forces of the Russian armed forces, including army and navy special forces, which played an important role in the war in Chechnya. He was the last to withdraw after the former Soviet army announced its withdrawal from Afghanistan. Love you eBook ANX

The main task of the GRU special forces was to carry out concentrated reconnaissance in the enemy's rear, destroy the enemy's mobile nuclear attack weapons if necessary, carry out sabotage operations and conduct guerrilla warfare in the enemy's rear, as well as assassinate well-known military and political activists, but the assassination mission was later cancelled.

Currently, the headquarters of the GRU special forces is located in the General Staff of the Russian Army on Arbat Street in Moscow, codenamed 44388 Military Department. There are about 5,000 people in the headquarters, another 13,400 spies sent abroad, and it is estimated that there are about 100,000 people of all kinds. During the former Soviet Union, the GRU's personnel rights and plans and arrangements for foreign espionage activities were subject to the supervision and control of the KGB.

The selection of members of the GRU special forces is very strict. Members of this unit must serve in other units, and each member of the military is required to undergo special training.

In addition to the physical fitness, endurance professional skills and actual combat training carried out by the special forces, the GRU troops often carry out overseas reconnaissance activities, so the GRU members also carry out intensive foreign language training, and most of the team members can be proficient in a foreign language.

The battlefield is always the best place to test the special forces, and actual combat is also a wonderful means to temper the will of the special forces to fight. The combat effectiveness of the Russian special forces not only comes from capable personnel, first-class equipment and rigorous training, but also is inseparable from the accumulation of actual combat again and again. Whether on the regular battlefield at home and abroad, or on some special fronts such as anti-terrorism, the Russian special forces have proved their worth and proved their ability to fight well with brilliant achievements.

The first is the latest.
