Special operations forces of Ukraine. First years results

100

In 2016, the formation of a new type of troops, the Special Operations Forces, began as part of the Ukrainian armed forces. In accordance with the adopted plans, by the end of 2020, the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had to acquire the final form and structure, as well as achieve full combat and operational readiness. As follows from the available data, such tasks have generally been solved.

Purpose and structure


According to the "Law on Defense", the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine must solve a number of basic tasks in the field of combat operations, intelligence and information activities. Subdivisions of this structure are responsible for "modern warfare", anti-terrorist operations, military reconnaissance, search and evacuation of victims or the capture of "tongues". Also, the MTR must create agent networks, conduct information and psychological operations, train the personnel of friendly armies and even prepare coups in third countries.



The formation of the MTR was carried out through the creation of new units and subunits, as well as through the transfer of existing ones from the composition of other types of troops. The total number of the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after all the transformations is approx. 15 thousand people

The MTR Command is deployed in Kiev. The subordinate structure of the MTR includes three main types of units. These are special purpose units (SPN), centers of information and psychological operations (the notorious IPSO) and various support units - training, liaison, etc.

Several Ukrainian military and civilian universities are involved in training personnel for the SSO in various specialties. The curriculum and training process is facilitated by the US military. They are represented by specialists from the 4th group of information support operations.

Special assignment


The execution of operational and combat missions in the MTR is assigned to the special forces units. There are four such parts known. The 140th Special Forces Center and the 8th Separate Special Forces Regiment are deployed in the city of Khmelnitsky (the territory of the OK "West"). In the area of ​​responsibility of OK "Yug" there are the 3rd separate special forces regiment (Kropyvnytskyi) and the 73rd Naval Special Operations Center (Odessa).

The 3rd and 8th separate regiments include three special forces, management, headquarters and support units. The 73rd Maritime Center is distinguished by a more complex structure, in which there are land, airborne and naval units. Unlike other units, the main task of the 73rd center is to carry out sabotage and other similar operations.


The special forces units are armed with a variety of samples weapons and equipment of Soviet, Ukrainian and foreign production. In this case, we are talking only about small arms of different classes and armored vehicles. The combat swimmers have at their disposal weapons for underwater shooting and means of transportation under water.

Information and psychological operations


Of all the structures of the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the most famous are the centers of the IPCO. Their task is to monitor the social and political situation in neighboring countries, prepare analytical documents, etc. The centers also prepare and conduct hacker attacks on key military and civilian targets of a potential enemy. There is information on holding such events together with foreign colleagues.

At the same time, the IPSO centers are better known for their activities in the socio-political direction. They monitor and suppress alternative points of view in Ukraine itself, and also organize information and psychological operations in other countries. Propaganda materials are disseminated through all available channels, from print to social media bots.


It is known about four operating IPSO centers. The 72nd main center is working near Kiev, which carries out general management of the entire structure. In the zone OK "North" in the settlement Guiva operates the 16th IPCO Center. The 74th center of OK "West" is deployed in Lvov. The 86th center is located in Odessa (OK "Yug").

According to known data, the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine receive the greatest assistance from foreign colleagues precisely in the context of the development of the IPSO centers. So, in the 72nd main center since 2018, a group of specialists from the 77th brigade of the British information forces has been constantly working. Also, specialists from other NATO countries with experience in information and psychological operations are involved in the assistance of the centers.

According to known data, IPCO centers have a similar composition. In addition to leadership, they include an analytical department and an observation and special actions department. There are also departments in charge of propaganda in print and on the Internet. Also, each center has subdivisions of support for continuous work.

development Plans


By now, the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine acquired the required form, gained the necessary strength and received all the basic capabilities. At the same time, the Ukrainian command is not going to stop there and plans to develop the MTR in different ways. Processes of this kind will be associated mainly with plans to join NATO.


In the coming years, until 2025, it is planned to abandon weapons, equipment and other materiel built according to the standards of the USSR / Russia. A full transition to NATO standards is planned. Similar changes await the operational and combat training of units. Fighters and other MTR specialists in the future will be trained according to NATO methods. The preparation of the MTR combat manual is continuing, which will also take into account the requirements of NATO.

In recent years, MTR units have repeatedly participated in international exercises. Such cooperation will be expanded in the future. The Ukrainian command wants to include its units in the NATO rapid reaction force, which will strengthen cooperation with this organization, and will also allow it to count on various kinds of foreign assistance.

Units of the Special Forces of the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are used in the Donbass for carrying out certain operations against the self-proclaimed republics. This practice will continue in the future. In addition, certain aggressive actions against other neighboring countries cannot be ruled out. The same applies to IPSO centers. They have already launched an active activity in information networks, and it is unlikely that it will decline.

Preliminary results


In just a few years, Ukraine has managed to form and bring to full service a new branch of the armed forces with wide capabilities, incl. fundamentally new. It is easy to see that the decisive contribution to these processes was made by foreign friendly countries, primarily the United States. They shared their experience in organizing the Special Operations Forces and continue to provide support in all directions.


The results of the activities of the new service arm are not yet fully clear. Parts of the Special Forces exist and regularly participate in training events, incl. international. In addition, they were involved in combat work in the Donbass. There is information about the conduct of reconnaissance and sabotage operations, etc. However, the involvement of the MTR did not help the Armed Forces to change the situation in the region and regain control over the seceded territories.

The activities of the centers of information and psychological operations, for obvious reasons, are more visible. Unreliable "stuffing" on various topics, beneficial to the Kiev authorities, occurs regularly. In addition, there is an increased activity of suspicious accounts with the same socio-political position on social networks and other services with open comments. Attempts of hacker attacks are recorded.

The specifics of the current political course of Ukraine suggests that the newly created Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces are viewed as a multipurpose instrument for aggressive actions against third countries. This means that nearby states need to track Ukrainian activity and take measures to ensure their security. Perhaps the MTR of the Armed Forces does not pose a particular threat to the militarily developed countries, but they must be considered as a potential threat that requires attention.

      It is better to think a few steps ahead: trained fighters with a certain ideological training, who will not disappear by themselves even if relations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine change.
      Consider them as another obstacle to normalizing relations between countries, because they are being prepared for war in a certain direction. In the event of war, their training will help them send hundreds of Russian soldiers to the next world. So there is no reason for scoffing.

          Think again.

          Ukrainian SSO is an analogue of the Brandenburg 800 division of the Second World War.

          These people, who knew Russia and the Russian language perfectly, were exits from Russia and fought against us. The saboteurs of this unit, pretending to be fighters entering from the encirclement, seized bridges and committed sabotage on the territory of the USSR. And it was very difficult to identify them, especially during the time of general panic and confusion.

          So the threat is real. And here it is not necessary to be afraid, but to take countermeasures.

              There is no need to partisan. A series of terrorist attacks and sabotage on infrastructure facilities may well lead to chaos, then mass unrest, the nomination of an opposition leader, who, like Guaidó, declares himself the legitimate head of state and continues on. Is order in the Russian Federation so strong? Will the purchased generals and officials work off their money helping the rebellion?
              Any Maidan is the work of such special operations forces in combination with massive bribery of security officials and officials. And there are no guarantees that this cannot happen in the Russian Federation.

              And a lot is not necessary. Ukraine is a vivid example of how a very small but well-organized part of the population dictates its will to millions of Ukrainians.
              So, everything depends on the organization and trained specialists.
              And here they are cooked in droves. For what?

                  Who will take?
                  In Ukraine, in 2014, the West scared the entire elite so that they were afraid to fart in the direction of the Maidan.
                  And when they despaired and started storming the Maidan, Western leaders immediately called them all and explained their prospects. And the assault was stopped. Although there was just a little more pressure left - a few tens of meters to the stage, where all the leaders of the Maidan were trembling violently.
                  And how many "activists" were there who had clearly undergone special training and organized local maidans and attacks on police stations to seize weapons. And almost nowhere "they were not taken seriously". In most cases, on the contrary, there was a "favored regime": the detainees were released, the police were turned away from the riots.
                  There was an explicit riot management system deployed across the country. It is impossible to create such a system without corrupt security officials and officials.

                  You or a mercenary / bandit / terrorist, who will be spanked after "evisceration", or an enemy soldier, with whom you still have to "babysit" ...

                  This is the yardstick of an ordinary war. This does not work in the Maidans - there are all citizens or "guests of the capital". And no "soldiers" and "mercenaries".
                  Example: on YouTube there was a video from the time of the Maidan (2014), where they showed a man in urban camouflage with an American policeman's name and a Slavic name standing on his knees detained on the Maidan in Kiev. So what? Was there an international scandal? No. Quietly they let go and that's it. "Guest of the capital" you know ...
                  Well, when a guy with a sniper in the trunk is released, it's just a classic of the genre. Search YouTube by the name of Pashinsky (now a deputy).

                  Those who are trained in Ukraine will be provided with documents and money, which means they will be "ordinary citizens" with all the rights and opportunities to pay off the cops. And if you add to this the support from corrupt bureaucrats and deputies, then the hell you just take them for "gutting".

        You are missing the most important thing - the Ukrainian MTR fighters are practically the same Russians. And they speak Russian perfectly without an accent. Both outwardly and behaviorally, we are the same with them. This means that it will not be easy to distinguish a Ukrainian saboteur in a crowd in Russia. Even with Caucasian militants it is easier - they are of a different nationality, with Caucasian appearance. It is a pity that such adults as you - and such short-sighted, rolled into pricks. And yes, they wrote to you correctly above - you personally have nothing to fear on your couch. The enemy must not be feared, the enemy must be studied and must not be underestimated.

    Well, actually, the 3rd and 8th special forces regiments are still a Soviet legacy. Naval saboteurs, too. There are about 70-80 of them in the center now. In 14-15 years they all fought as infantry. They were seriously battered in the southern cauldron. But the power of psychological operations is just a novelty.

More than 1-2 on one site are unlikely to be on duty often. Usually they spud several forums at once. Somehow Rozhin posted the hacked accounts of such fighters and there everyone was registered on several sites at once.

    There is a big psychological problem in the Ukrainian MTR.
    The ranks of the MTR consists of "ordinary" Ukrainians recruited by contract from all over Ukraine and members of "volunteer battalions" squeezed into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, right-wing radical representatives of Nazi and nationalist ideologies.
    All troops need an enemy image for training and defining motivation. In Soviet times, these were NATO and the Americans. Now in the Russian Federation, the images of enemies have expanded significantly, many new ones have been added to the old ones. In Ukraine, this is more difficult.
    Since the preparation and ideological pumping of the MTR is carried out by the Americans, they, in the image of the enemy, automatically include Russia and its allies.
    This is where the problem I mentioned appears. If for the National Nazis in the MTR this image of the enemy is acceptable and desirable, then for the rest (most) of the MTR, the image of the enemy in the person of the Russians is categorically unacceptable. Of course, after the expiration of time, the efforts of NATO brainwashing experts (provided that Ukraine continues to follow in the wake of US policy) will yield results ... But now, alas.

      Yes, I would not say about "simple", there are many ideological. Just yesterday I was talking to one Gaster, I have known him for a couple of years. So, before coming here, he signed up as a contract soldier in the SSO, but he was offered only as a volunteer, because he was 56 years old, a hard worker from Kremenchug.

        What is the “ideological nature” of this Gaster? Does he consider Putin an aggressor who occupied Crimea and Donbass? Or does he even hate Muscovites, because Muscovites oppressed freedom-loving Ukrainians for 1000 years? Or are you just tired of boring Gaster's life, you want some kind of adventure, a feat?

          Basically, they believe that Russia is waging a war with Ukraine with regular troops, and has occupied part of it. And the answers converge to that "we have always lived in harmony, but you started the war." And it's useless to prove to them, they don't even want to listen to you.

      There are pros in these shelves. They don't need the image of the enemy. The workers and peasants and society needed the enemy. Pros fight whoever is ordered to - that's their job. If ordered, the same people will act against mattresses and NATO. There is, of course, resentment over losses, but hardly strong. Well, there are, of course, ideological Nazis, but it is unlikely that there are many of them in such units.

        Correctly noted - the pro. But they become with a good salary, good training and good equipment. With training, not everything is clear: there are not many victories, big, loud and simple victories. The equipment is average: no money is given for advanced samples, they allocate what is already being changed in other countries. And the salary. Its size is ridiculous. And the most important thing. The living standards of the remaining relatives are far from the level of the prosperous middle class. Do you imagine a general or a colonel of the NATO special forces stealing money from his units? Me not. And in the MTR this is an ordinary phenomenon. And this does not add confidence in the future and their correctness.
        They have yet to become a pro. In 7-10 years.

    Above - there is already a bunch of hilarious comments, with which the MTR of Ukraine is just a snack on their couch ... I think that you need to be serious about the non-brothers' special operations forces and keep your ears open. A well-trained and trained fighter is very dangerous in itself, and it doesn't matter what special forces he is from - Ukrainian, American, Russian or Zimbabwean. It is necessary to closely monitor their teachings, trainings, weapons, equipment, equipment, tactics, to know the data on each fighter of the MTR of Ukraine, his specialization, the circle of relatives and preferably movement even outside the service. And be ready to work individually and specifically for each of their divisions - to develop countermeasures, whether it be special operations, the protection of objects or "battle" on the Internet.

Ya is an ex-Kiev resident, who of the trolls assigned to here will want to drive me with a Bandera - it's better to use a new term - probably an otaman.

    On the topic now: MTR of Ukraine is a serious start. I communicate with still living Friends - fellow countrymen whose grandchildren are already there.
    The current situation is as follows: everyone there is Russian-speaking, the minimum level of training is "KMS corridor", as in the old special forces of the GRU of the USSR (in my experience). You can certainly play funny now, but this is a very serious MTR.

Then they vindictively remembered this and 90% performed them by the Fathers or we, but sometimes with a huge delay. Even ya performed "with several squeamish touches" in the 90s already outrageous for my eldest Son (laughing: there are paper photos in the archive) Even laughing: already in emigration, already adult and successful Friends informed me about the fulfillment of such debts several times.

    Probably it would be naive to think that Ukraine did not have and never will have such units. Even if they were not or were insufficient, then the regional committee will try to correct such a defect, at the same time they will supervise them. Our FSB forces, this is taken into account, were not born yesterday .When the MTR of Ukraine tries to work with us, this is actually a war without declaring it, with all the consequences, and not very bright for them. Countermeasures will be naturally adopted, and in general the situation is being monitored now. Although this of course must be taken seriously, today their employees are mentally and mentally not ready to work with us, but how it will be in the future is a question. It is not worth underestimating the MTR of any country, it is better to overestimate than underestimate. , to obtain as much information as possible about them, where, who, when, why, why, who owns the information, he has an advantage in the application of preventive measures.

      If we remove the cheap Petrosyans from the comments, and reason sensibly based on real facts, we can draw the following conclusions:
      Earth always beats blood. In the United States, there are more ethnic Germans than British. Consequently, in the troops that fought on the fronts of the Second World War, the American Germans fought against their brothers in blood. During the American Revolution, the British of America fought against the British of the metropolis - Britain. The earth is a real substance. Blood is mystical, which means it is subjective.
      Historically, since Cossack times, Ukrainians have focused on military operations, which are tactically close to special operations. Remember the methods of warfare conducted by N.I. Makhno, or S.A. Kovpak. And the most famous organizers and participants of special operations P.M. Cat and P.N. Sudoplatov were ethnic Ukrainians.

    Recently I talked with one acquaintance from Kharkov - this is how he told how Bandera's people operate in Kharkov since 14 ... They came to Kharkov and here they are partisans, but in a very organized way. All the years of Poroshenko's reign, they advertised themselves on every corner of Kharkov. Their goal is not power over all the townspeople - they are looking for ideological ones among the Kharkovites. Those who agree to fight with Russia seriously and for the last 5 years they have selected just such people from Kharkiv residents .. Unlike the various primitive titushki with bats there, these are organized and motivated. And they are very skillfully coordinated in the information space at the state level - where it is necessary to shout and where it is necessary to be silent and fog up ...

    That's it ... And I also want to say that the generation of old Soviet army cadres is leaving very quickly and they are being replaced by young ones for whom the Soviet past is a history or a beautiful fairy tale and this is at its best.
    Russia communicating at all political levels with Ukrainian politicians is actually talking to Bandera partisans !!! And what do you want from them ??? They do not care about everything - even a default, even a coronavirus, even a flood, even a 3rd world war - and so and so in the forest!
