The reorganization of the Caspian PDSS detachment into a “coastal” special forces does not carry political objectives. The formation of a new military unit is carried out as part of the development of the Russian Navy. Since last year, the main command of the fleet has been working to expand the capabilities of anti-subversive units. These units allow secretly to land and evacuate our special forces from the sea. Previously, there were no units in the Russian Navy to solve these problems.
