“Russian special forces are far from meeting Western standards”: in the US press about the MTR of Russia

Russian and American special forces constantly "intersect" in various parts of the world. This gave grounds to compare both forces on the pages of the publication Strategy Page (USA).

At the height of the Cold War, about 30 thousand special forces were in the service of the Soviet troops. Most of them were conscripts (70-80%), but careful selection and a tough training program made it possible to make elite fighters out of them. As the author writes, the special forces effectively proved themselves during the Afghan campaign:

The Afghans learned to retreat from any area where special forces operated.

According to him, after the collapse of the USSR, the "rapid degradation" of the Russian special operations troops began. According to him, its peak came in 1999-2004, mentioning as "failures" the operation to free the hostages in the theater "Nord-Ost" and the school in Beslan.

In the first case, hundreds of civilians were killed, in the second, the building was stormed in a combined arms style, using RPGs, rocket launchers and tanks.

However, after that the situation began to change. So, during the Georgian campaign of 2008, the reconnaissance battalion of special forces in the rear guard entered enemy territory, "demonstrating a high degree of skill." As the author explains, in Syria, the Russian special forces managed to keep Bashar al-Assad in power, "despite the seemingly insurmountable threat from the rebels in 2011."

Here, Russian special operations troops clashed with their American counterparts and found that the US forces were more formidable than expected.

- the author writes.

As the observer points out, at present, the American special forces evaluate the Russian MTR as "quite combat-ready force", which "can compete" and "poses a more serious threat than during the Cold War." But in terms of the number of this type of troops of the Russian Federation (about 10 thousand people, of which more than half are contract soldiers) is seriously inferior to the United States, where there are five times more fighters) \.

SOCOM military personnel, meeting with their Russian counterparts in several regions of the world, found that Russian special forces are still imposing, but far from up to Western standards.

- noted in the US press.

It is not entirely clear why the Russian special forces, who have their own richest school of training and combat use, should generally meet Western standards.

Yes, but near Moscow, as they distributed cream and lipstick, so we drove the Germans

With a lot of blood, and they didn’t drive, but with difficulty began the way back. And they went to Berlin for three whole years. And the Germans were near Moscow after three months.

And here the Great Patriotic War and the auto industry? Don't twist! The tiger was also a child prodigy, so what ?? And Moskvich at one time was no worse than many foreign cars.

[Syndrome]

Considering that in 1944 ours reached the old borders, you can see how the Red Army drove the Germans. You will be surprised, but the pace of the Red Army offensive was higher than that of the Germans at the beginning of the war.

[adler87]

Indeed, amazing. Like this, a few months and more than two years. The pace is kind of slow. Or am I stupid?

You're not dumb, you're dumb like a cork. And these are not your worst shortcomings ...

[YOUR]

Why write nonsense. different starting conditions.
If the Germans attacked a country that did not expect an attack, they traveled up to 50 km or more per day, meeting absolutely no resistance, because there was no defense echeloning. Command was lost, often receiving incorrect or outdated data. Focusing on the name of the parts and connections in reality, of which there was not even a half left.
And the pace was not just made up, but much exceeded since 1944. And this is with equal opportunities.
But this is a different question, not related to the topic under consideration.
The main question is why the Americans consider our special forces do not meet their standards because of the equipment. In this they have a really big advantage. We have begun to pay attention to the means of communication, loitering ammunition, light means of protection, well, ergonomic small arms, and technical reconnaissance equipment. In this we are lagging behind and seriously lagging behind. Even in uniforms, and then in the media, it repeatedly slipped that they were bought abroad or completely copied.

[Cosmemedic]

When they make calculations on the number of German troops, captured and killed, the allied countries are not taken into account anywhere .. and there were up to 3 million of them, Europeans. Yes, for a minute. And the Finns and the Norwegians, the French and ... There was just no one. Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars were not even counted.
Also: the figures for the dead Russian and German soldiers are almost identical. The rest of our losses are civilian.
The Germans, reading their media, I can’t forgive

[Kaufman]

And the Finns and the Norwegians, the French and ... There was just no one. Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars were not even counted

and Russian Cossacks, and Vlasov. There were more of them than the rest of the traitors put together.

[Oleg812spb]

Those who were lucky enough to stay alive, probably, even after 1955, regretted that they had gone so far

[Alexey V]

So who won the war? the army, the heir to the "glory" of the 8rd Reich, was supposed to take Moscow 3 years ago))))) And as your brave airmobile warriors said, set the price for beer .... What's the matter?

[avg]

Only one Kovpak raid on the German rear will overshadow all the special operations of all the MTRs combined.

[89268170588]

Yes, even if you are from space, you have read rubbish. The Hans were all lousy, this was not the case in the Red Army. What about our "frozen divisions" fake. You judge sensibly - the division froze in defense - the front is open, with a parade march to Romanov on Murman. Why didn't this happen. Think first, then write. Of course, it was not sweet in the Arctic, but the soldiers received hot food 2 times a day, and a bath once a week. The superhumans didn't. And how a respected one will highlight that whole divisions of Italians, Romanians, Hungarians and Hans, a Croat regiment, froze in the Don steppes in 43, no one even tries to deny this. Of course, they froze differently, with creams, and the Red Army with a spoon. About the lyuli. Thank our soldiers, otherwise the ancestors of the chela with the "Eagle" avatar would have been processed by superhumans into compost and our "Eagle" would not even become an embryo. Sincerely!

[adler87]

Bath? Twice hot food? Where are you from? What a bath, what hot food twice a day. What did you hear and read there? Vova himself or something. Where do you get these from. We all had lice in the trenches.

And what? Kolenka is also from Urengoy. It didn't stop being cheap

[Radio]

Fascists and it did not help. They did not go further than the Valley of Glory in 4 years of the war. And they froze with their mouths too ....

[adler87]

Yeah. In dugouts with calls. I see some heroes have gathered.

[Volper]

Quote: adler87

Creams, ointments, and colognes are also still found in German dugouts. But they handed out lyuley to all of Europe, and the USSR in particular. They drove all the way to Moscow. And ours have one spoon and a bowler hat, and they froze in divisions, I'm from the Murmansk region, if anything.

And when the Germans fled back from Moscow, did they forget you poor dugout or what? Are you still sitting there? Did you personally see the frozen divisions? What if it was whole frozen Russian armies? Did you make a mistake when you counted?

[Alexey V]

If you were from the Murmansk lands, you would know that in those places your vaunted Germans could not even cross the border with the USSR. This is not Illovaisk for you)))) with races to Russia, take a break))) ... Not the defense of Donetsk airport with rotations))))

[adler87]

Specify where?

[boris epstein]

Rybachy Peninsula. There, Distle and his warriors did not manage to cross the border.

[adler87]

Well done, you know.

[Alexey V]

Actually, the final result is important. As you know, the war ended not in the Moscow region, but on the Elbe .... You can immediately see the son of the outlying lands, who has 8 years of war and standing near Donetsk, this is a victory over Russia))))

It's because of people like you, "lands", that they reached Musta-Tunturi, and because of those who cut them with sharpened spoons and finished them off with bowlers, the Germans still hiccup, looking back to the East ...

[unhappy]

What is the connection between the presence of a bowler hat and a spoon in a soldier on the one hand and the commanders who were planning the military operation in the Arctic?
Incompetent, shameless people who valued their soul and career more than the lives of thousands of soldiers!

[Pravodel]

Is there something you don't understand? Did the Germans win the Second World War and freed Berlin from the Americans and Russians !? Again, the liberal-liberalist decided to make us happy with the truth, because. We ourselves never knew her for sure and never will know ...

[yehat2]

I called everything by their proper names, eyewitnesses of the events of 41 often used just such epithets, and my grandfather, a front-line soldier with a bunch of awards, spoke very similarly about the summer of 41. What is the point of being proud of the steadfastness of the defenders of the Brest Fortress and other feats, if at the same time dozens of crowded echelons were beaten out, artillery covered planes at airfields directly from the territory of Poland, the troops ran into the impossibility of taking necessary things from warehouses, etc. There is a bitter saying - heroism always covers a jamb with something, and in the summer of 41, a lot of jambs had to be covered. And to a large extent because they lulled the society with jingoistic rhetoric. I believe that we have no right to do this until there is a 2-3-fold superiority in strength over any opponent. And when there are 4-5 times fewer of us and there are more problems with the replenishment of weapons, jingoistic things generally become close to crime. If anyone is not in the know, now the military-strategic position of the Russian Federation is much worse than that of the USSR in the spring of 41. And if back in 1914 it turned out that courage alone no longer rolls against a machine gun, in fact, now this is clear even to schoolchildren. And if there is also a traitor on a traitor in the rear, it becomes quite fun. Do you believe that in a conflict with NATO, the Rotenberg brothers or Obramochic or Usmanov will help in any way? But they own about 70% of our economy.
Therefore, I perceive extremely negatively any rhetoric that biasedly appreciates our capabilities. As an example, they admire the su-57, but they are silent that we have 8-9 combat-ready aircraft from the strength, but most likely even less, and the same f-35s are already more than 800, even the Finns already have more stealth aviation contingent than US. And for the same Putin and Shoigu, it was high time to make a speech similar to Stalin's "we will be crushed." But what do we see in reality? Exactly the opposite. The government is preparing to fight not with an external threat, even the police have already given up on their duties and are engaged in a war with a disgruntled population. I somehow worked at the enterprises of the military-industrial complex and saw with my own eyes what the army is armed with. And it did not add optimism at all.

[zenion]

Wolper. They've gone crazy there, madmen. They themselves wrote that there are special forces of the West and special forces of Russia. I don’t understand why Russian special forces should be like Western special forces. Here the Red Army was not like the Wehrmacht. For this reason, the Red Army defeated the Wehrmacht.

That's right, the tasks are different. Their special forces serve the master's corporations, stage coups, and liquidate those who are objectionable. So this is a purely commercial project. The Russian special forces have peaceful purposes.

[nnm]

[SKVichyakow]

Afghanistan has shown what the US and British specialists are like. Some fled under the cover of night, abandoning all weapons and equipment, without notifying even their allies about this. The second, the "valiant Britons", dressed in women's clothing, fled secretly to Kabul. Cowardice, one and the other, they were shown to the whole world. Even the horses are neighing above them. Cool doves though.

Afghanistan has shown what the US and British specialists are like.

Even when we were there.
Father here once told about a meeting of ours and Americans there, organized by the command "to reduce the general tension." As it almost always happens in a certain environment, after the first, second, third, friendly hand-to-hand competitions were immediately organized. To say that the American special forces lost is to say nothing. “Russians fight against the rules”, “Russians don’t understand that the enemy is also a living person”, “Russians don’t fight, but come out with one goal - to kill” ... Yes, I myself, in the early 90s, thanks to my father, learned at a private event the price of their special forces. Section of amateur boxing at the regional House of Culture.

Well, Americans can be understood. Beating yourself on the cheeks for the sake of anger, shouting louder, calling names for the same reason is a sacred thing for them. And then go out and silently, without having time to understand what happened, get hit in the neck ...

Trust me that in a fight you will prefer a fighter who shoots well than a fighter who fights well

It is desirable to do everything together, and shoot and fight.
But, the importance of shooting is undeniable.
I remembered from the axioms "All the special forces died in fire contact, and not in hand-to-hand combat", or "Nothing is more inspiring than being shot at and not hit"

On this occasion, I will cite interesting (in my opinion) extracts from these so-called "Combat axioms of control" A "of the Central Security Service of the FSB of Russia ...". These guys know what they are talking about.
- The volume of the biceps does not affect the speed of the bullet.
- The winner is not the one who shoots first, but the one who hits first.
- For gaps in fire training, the enemy's bullet puts the mark "failed" in battle.
- Shooter's level is his worst shot.
- Mistakes in tactics can be corrected by fast and accurate shooting, errors in shooting cannot be corrected by anything.
- The strength of the special forces is not in the muscles, but in the brains.
- If you reached the change of store in fire contact, it means that before that you missed too much.
- No one has yet managed to miss so quickly as to defeat someone.
- Nothing replaces a quick and accurate shot.
- Treat every shot as if it were the only one.
- There is no point in shooting faster than you can hit...

[sgrabik]

A real elite commando must be able to do everything, be extremely hardy and steadfast, shoot well with all types of weapons, and be proficient in hand-to-hand and knife combat.

[Konnick]

A real elite commando must be able to do everything, be extremely hardy and persistent, shoot well with all types of weapons, and be good at hand-to-hand and knife combat.

A modern commando must be proficient in any means of communication, possess target designation skills, be well versed in the terrain, have logical thinking and not be cannon fodder.

[sgrabik]

I agree, and this, too, without a doubt, because the special forces are not in vain considered the elite of the armed forces and are used in the most complex and extremely important operations.

[Konnick]

I agree, and this is also beyond any doubt, because the special forces are not in vain considered the elite of the armed forces

And for some reason, our special forces are more focused on combat skills. Therefore, the tragedy near Kharsenoy happened. When 3 reconnaissance groups of the 2nd separate GRU special forces brigade. went on reconnaissance with machine guns and grenade launchers, but forgot to take spare batteries for the radios.

[tatarin1972]

They had batteries, it's not about them. Deal in weariness, physical and moral.

[Konnick]

They had batteries, it's not about them. Deal in weariness, physical and moral.

From an interview with one of the scouts who survived the battle, senior sergeant Anton Filippov: “The weather on the night of February 21 was terrible. Wet snow was falling, everyone froze like tsutsiki. And in the morning the sun came out, in February the sun is good. I remember how everyone steam poured in. And then the sun disappeared, apparently gone behind the mountains.

We were hit first from two sides, and then completely surrounded. They were fired from flamethrowers and grenade launchers. Of course, we ourselves were largely to blame, relaxed. But for eight days they walked through the mountains, they were tired. It was just physically very difficult to wade through the snow for so long, after that it was very difficult to fight normally. They fell right on the ground. I had to carry everything on myself, ammunition in the first place. Not everyone wanted to carry a sleeping bag. We had only two sleeping bags in the group - me and one more fighter. I carried a walkie-talkie, batteries for it, and also dragged a grenade launcher. There were seconded in the group - engineers, aircraft controllers, artillery spotters. With them was a soldier-radio operator, his grenade launcher was carried by my commander, Samoilov, then he gave it to me, then we changed, and I gave it to someone else. It's just that the radio operator is already tired. So they helped, dragged

The batteries on my radio are almost dead. I think that somewhere until the evening of February 21, the latter would have worked for more. On the morning of the twenty-first, I handed over Samoilov's last staff report. He ordered me to inform the command that the radio was running out of power and we were turning off the station so that in an emergency we could transmit something, it would be enough for one time. But when the battle began, I could not convey anything."

Why drag machine guns with ammunition into reconnaissance, and a machine-gun belt with 250 rounds of 10 kg? And why didn't they take sleeping bags to the winter mountains? And there were no spare batteries, but the radio operator was with a grenade launcher. And why did they reveal themselves by shooting KamAZ with a mortar?

[tatarin1972]

In 1995, he was familiar with the machine gunners of the RGSpn 2 ObrSpn, he carried a tape for 1000, there should be a machine gun in the group. Sleeping bags, good question. Perhaps they left for the night, then redirected, and, as usual, from task to task. There is never a lot of ammunition, there is very little and little, but no more can be lifted and carried away. The radio station has two sets of batteries, but they are used as usual, plus sub-zero temperatures. There may have been intense radio communications. To reconnoiter the divisions, in the Caucasus, in both wars, they were engaged in tasks that were not characteristic of themselves, they were charged with the destruction of bases, caches, air assault operations were hung on them. The work of the group was judged by the result, and the result is captured weapons or video recording (this is already in the second war), bodies, destroyed equipment.

[Konnick]

What destroyed equipment?
Their task was to reconnoiter the patency of the road for vehicles. And they did not go for one day. It looks like no conclusions have been drawn. It was also necessary to take the KPVT, it was definitely not "enough". Some took sleeping bags.

[tatarin1972]

Do you know the task of these three groups?! You didn't supervise them by any chance?!

[Konnick]

I knew three personally, Medvedev, Gotoshi, Dudin.

Then can you explain why, when reconnaissance of a road in a mountain forest, machine guns and grenade launchers are needed? Why carry extra weight, because this is reconnaissance, and not an assault operation?

[yehat2]

the whole group had big problems with communication. Even now, after a serious rearmament and renovation, communication problems are far from being completely resolved. The exercises constantly show that in the field, units of the battalion level and less, with communication, constantly have problems, sometimes big ones.

[paul3390]

It's just that Westerners rarely encountered our construction battalion!

[Sling of David]

And why hand-to-hand and knife fighting, if there are pistols with a silencer? And if you just need to neutralize, then there is a taser. Cheap, reliable and practical. And the time saved on physical assault training can be more efficiently spent on shooting, improving endurance and orienteering

[yehat2]

war is an inexorably simple thing. Ammo tends to run out and hand-to-hand combat remains. You can't take a box of ammo into the mountains, and your skills don't weigh anything.

Let's sit out in eastern Siberia in the bunkers ... But seriously, and this is very serious. Israel does not need an aggressive Iran at hand.

So we do not need US and British troops on our borders and on our land (Little Russia-Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia). For nothing good will come of this ....

Yuri, you have such a mess in your head, I don’t even know if it’s Hercules or Smolensk ....
1. Iran's official ideology is to deny Israel's right to exist within any borders. I have not heard something that the United States denied Russia's right to exist. Accordingly, the approach is different.
2. Soros is a strong opponent of nation-states, doubly so when it comes to Israel. This is one of Israel's worst enemies, just like Iran denying Israel's right to exist.
3. I have not heard that Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia were part of Russia ... You would read more and then you would not expose yourself to ridicule with your ignorance.

You have existed officially for fifty years, no? A little more, a little more nonsense ...... And these countries have been under the Russian crown since the 12th-15th centuries ---"“By God's assisting mercy, We, NN, are the Emperor and Autocrat of the All-Russian, Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir, Novgorod; Tsar Kazanskіy, King Astrahanskіy, King Polskіy, King Sibirskіy, King Hersonissos Tavricheskago, King Gruzinskіy; Sovereign Pskovskіy and Velikіy Prince Smolenskіy, Litovskіy, Volynskіy, Podolskіy and Finlyandskіy; Estlyandskіy Prince Liflyandskіy, Kurlyandskіy and Semigalskіy, Samogitskіy, Bѣlostokskіy, Korelskіy, Tverskіy, Yugorskіy, Permskіy, Vyatskіy, Bolgarskіy and inyh; Emperor and Velikіy Prince Novagoroda nizovskіya land Chernigovskіy, Ryazanskіy, Polotskіy, Rostovskіy, Yaroslavskіy, Bѣlozerskіy, Udorskіy, Obdorskіy, Kondіyskіy, Vitebskіy, Mstislavskіy and All sѣvernyya country Lord and Sovereign Iverskіya, Kartalinskіya and Kabardian lands and regions of Armenia; Cherkasy and Mountain princes and other hereditary Sovereign and Possessor; Sovereign of Turkestan, Heir of Norway, G Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Stormarn, Dithmarsen and Oldenburg and others, and others, and others”[23]. And then in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 80 years! So think about it .. Yes, about the miter intentions of the United States in relation to my country .... I will simply say - Do not drive a blizzard! . Everything says otherwise.

[Sling of David]

Tell me, if the United States has such insidious intentions regarding Russia, then why in the early 90s, when Russia was in a completely helpless state, did NATO organize an airlift with humanitarian aid that saved millions of Russians from starvation? But then the United States could, with complete impunity, squeeze anything from Russia. All these facts do not fit into your harmonious theory about adversaries who sleep and see how to offend Russia.

[Eraser]

What "air bridge"? They brought briquettes of chicken legs frozen to a stone state with ordinary refs. By the way, can you tell me how widely the legs are used in American cuisine? And they didn’t put pressure on it because they decided that everything had already been done, all American and European analytics of the late 90s discussed only one question related to Russia - in which year it will finally disintegrate, in 2002 or, after all, in 2005 and how many parts, 20 or 70?
And, by the way, they squeezed out a lot, starting from foreign markets and ending with enterprises within the country. PSA and tolling schemes alone were worth something. Or titanium contracts

[Xnumx vis]

So they squeezed out everything that is possible! They destroyed everything. Russia has lost 40% of the population, a third of the territory. Is that what you call bush legs help? Alcohol piano? It is not yet known how many diseases and deaths have been brought by these products, which are not consumed at all in the USA! Everything is paid for with gold, oil, timber, titanium, land and people's lives ..... . And these shitty legs .. so many people were not born and died that it's scary to imagine. They helped and did not rob .... Ridiculous .... Well, you are a naive person ..

They fit, how they fit. To allow a complete paralysis of power or, God forbid, a civil war in a country with nuclear weapons is not an option. Who knows who will get access to the "button". Therefore, it is better to support a bit. At the same time, the image ... I’ll say more: I think if something like this happens in the States, we will also support it, despite today’s confrontation. To avoid, so to speak...

[sgrabik]

The United States is now very sorry that they did not deal with Russia in the 90s, did not divide it into separate disparate parts, their protege Yeltsin was ready to fulfill their every whim, but they did not succeed, and now this task is practically impossible for them , today Russia is the only country that is guaranteed to destroy the United States, along with all their satellites.

Trust me that in a fight you will prefer a fighter who shoots well than a fighter who fights well

If it comes to fire contact with the enemy, then nothing will help, including excellent shooting. To destroy one group of Special Forces, our sworn partners and those brothers in mind from the palm trees whom they taught raise a brigade in alarm. The area is tightly sealed. It is necessary to shoot well, so that they personally change their minds about taking them alive. The machine gunner will be the first to go to another world without problems. Those who are taken alive will envy the dead.

[Sergey Kulikov_3]

And who told you that the one who fights well, shoots badly?

[Sling of David]

Law: time spent on physical assault is necessarily at the expense of learning other, much more important skills.

[Sergey Kulikov_3]

Do you think that physical training is not necessary for shooting? And explain what you mean by important skills?

[Sling of David]

Physical endurance, morale, firepower, the ability to act in an original way in unusual situations, orienteering, medical training, the ability to use modern electronics and communications: any of these skills is more important for a commando than mastery of assault.
PS physical training and hand-to-hand combat are two different things.

[Sergey Kulikov_3]

You are confusing the Airborne Forces and the special forces, they are almost the same in terms of skills, but the main thing for the special forces is "silence". Yes, and massacre is not taught to special forces, hand-to-hand combat is not boxing at all. I understand that it's hard for you to understand with girls in combat units and actions from under the tishka, but it's true.

[Sling of David]

I already wrote that for silence there are weapons with silencers. Much more efficient. Hand-to-hand is needed only in the amount to repel the attacker in case of a sudden attack and buy time to use the weapon.

The weapon is completely silent. For example, the clang of the bolt group cannot be confused with anything. But any weapon, including a knife, is blood. Blood dogs work flawlessly, which means that the corpse will be found very quickly, no matter how you disguise it. If you work without blood, then of course they will also find him, but later, which means there will be more time to carry your legs. Maybe you'll be lucky to make it to the evacuation point.

Physical endurance, moral preparation and hand-to-hand combat are different things for you? Yes, you, I'll see, a noble theoretician. In other words, when the enemy makes a mistake .. let him make a mistake ..
I remember when the spirit came into the company, almost every week there were company championships in hand-to-hand combat, boxing, karate, and wrestling. And in the company, through one CCM, they set up to fight with demobilizations. And do not care that you only heard about karate .. And you will piss to beat the demobilization, they will punish the demobilization themselves .. but after lights out.
Can you guess why this was done? Assault..hah..you might think we were taught to fight..))

Before reaching combat sambo, he was engaged in sports sambo since childhood. How much "splash" I received from coaches later for my sports "gentlemanship"! It seems that only in the army for the first time they clearly explained that at home, after the demobilization, it will be possible to go out to fight with a bouquet of flowers. And when life and the fulfillment of a task depend on skill and speed, only one principle works: "Maximum damage as quickly as possible." And according to Faberge or not - this is the tenth question ...

In the United States, Marines are trained virtually on a par with our paratroopers. There are 200000 of them. The Airborne Forces are not special forces, but rapid reaction troops, one of the most combat-ready, but special forces are there separately, there are special forces companies, 45 special forces brigade. Airborn (analogous to the Airborne Forces) the United States has only 2 divisions.

[nnm]

And how do 75 rangers differ from the DShB in terms of quality? And the USMC is not part of the USASOC, but I don’t propose to count the Marines either. I'm not talking about that at all. The special forces are very strong, maybe, except for the delta, if we are talking about the United States, they are tailored to their specifics. For example, the same American kotikovskaya six. Well, how can you collectively compare a bolt with a finger?

And how do 75 rangers differ from the DShB in terms of quality?

Rangers (eng. Rangers) - a parachute regiment of deep reconnaissance, it looks more like our airborne forces, the airborne assault units operate in the front line, and not in the depths (rear) of the enemy.

The differences lie in the names themselves. DShB is an air assault brigade organized and specializing in attacks near the rear of the enemy in the event of large-scale military operations. The air assault brigades are subordinate to the Airborne Forces - airborne troops, as one of their divisions and specialize only in assault captures.

The Airborne Forces are airborne troops whose tasks are to capture the enemy, as well as to capture and destroy enemy weapons and other air operations. The functionality of the Airborne Forces is much wider - reconnaissance, sabotage, assault.

[nnm]

See less Wikipedia. Both one and the other perform similar tasks in a comparable depth behind enemy lines.
DShB is not only the capture of a bridgehead, but also the destruction of command posts, OTR launch points, the capture of transport hubs, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, etc. Here is some fundamental difference with the rangers, excuse me, dear colleague, but I can’t find it.

I agree that, of course, you should not engage in underestimation and hatred, the American special forces are a serious force and in order to successfully counter it, you need to study their tactics in detail during various military operations and develop your own tactics for effective counteraction in the event of quite possible military clashes with them in the future .

[Tasvarksezen]

Is this the Delta that in 1980 was noted in the epically infamous operation "Eagle Claw" in Iran? Well, this is where the Americans flew to save the American embassy in Tehran, they couldn’t get there, for the sake of secrecy they sat in an inconspicuous place, which turned out to be near a busy highway and were afraid that they would be discovered? After that, the idea came to the ingenious brains of the Deltovites (purely for the sake of secrecy!) To shoot all the civilian cars of the Iranians passing along this highway and managed to chop up a lot ... And only after crumbling, they realized that this was not the best way to stealth and, having waited for the tankers, they tried to fly away , but they immediately crashed into their own tanker by helicopter, lost eight people, after which they realized that they had to drape and still managed to escape from Iran, leaving the Iranians the bodies of their dead comrades, all helicopters, documentation, radio codes.

As I understand it, the Delta people managed to do something only in a negotiated war with Hussein, when in 2003 the Americans simply bought all the top leadership of Iraq and then obediently leaked the whole war to them. SO delta people know how to fight when the enemy is bought in advance.

[Tasvarksezen]

Or maybe you are talking about that Delta, which in 1983 during an operation in Grenada, managed to lose nine helicopters and fled, but on the other hand, American helicopter pilots, who were ordered to suppress local anti-aircraft guns, heroically shot ... a madhouse?

No, after another failure in Grenada and then in Iraq, the delta is no longer involved in special operations.

About the number of nonsense is complete, there cannot be 50000 special forces in the USA. Fur seals 3000 people somewhere, delta 800-1000 people, green berets 10000, rangers 5300.

In 1993, in Mogadishu, a good operation also turned out, right to the envy of all NATO allies.

Well, they just didn’t invite Stallone and Schwarzenegger, they acted very presumptuously
And so ... uhh

[nnm]

Colleagues, before putting a minus, get the materiel. It was sarcasm. In Iran, Delta simply failed before it even started deploying. The pinwheel crashed into the c130 and burned out both sides, killing both the pilots and support from the USMC. The operation was canceled and this after many MONTHS of preparation.

This is the manner of the worst friends - to measure everyone by their own arshin (yard). Pohabel!

A well-known American reaction to a similar comparison, but suddenly someone did not see:

I no longer wrote that I live in Germany. Motherland, the USSR was killed ...
My boss, his name is Helmut, he served in the Bundeswehr in the KSK, the Bundeswehr Special Forces. So he, with aspiration and reverent respect, speaks of the Russian special forces.
He secretly keeps an AK bayonet in his desk drawer. Proudly and secretly showed it to me.

[Nikolay1987]

Not black or gay?

[Dkuznecov]

Can I ask a couple of questions (for my own development) ?
If yes:
First question: What do you dislike about Africans?
The second question is how can a person's intimate life
affect employment obligations?
Thank you for your frankness.

[Nikolay1987]

The author is right to point out...

It is not entirely clear why the Russian special forces, who have their own richest school of training and combat use, should generally meet Western standards.

The question is brewing what Western standards "we" do not meet? And given the old and new trends in the US, mine is quite logical.
And yes, I have a strong feeling of disgust for gays, caused not by propaganda, but rather, as something alien, not natural, not natural, just like GMOs)))

How can a person's intimate life affect employment obligations?

In the army, where 99% of the men, you yourself do not guess ?!

[Dkuznecov]

I don’t guess.
Tell me how.
For example, I'm not interested at all
personal life of my subordinates.
Even with snowmen, let them hug.
For the work I will ask in all severity.
And who's there than in the evening
does - none of my business, non-public.
Again - I give a personal example and experience.

[Nikolay1987]

For your work, you can at least flog with rods, fuck everyone, but for the fact that two gays missed a missile attack while they were waving each other, this is a nationwide problem. Is that clearer?

[Dkuznecov]

I will not argue,
but you, too, in your mature years, instead of working, rushed after objects
your dreams?
You have a peculiar understanding of duty, honor and conscience,
this set turns out to depend on the preferences of the intimate plan.

[Nikolay1987]

Discipline, morale! There are clearly defined tasks and people trained for this. Their work takes into account factors affecting the performance of their duties and excludes any factors that may affect their performance. And with your "understanding" doctors will work, who will decide whether you are able to perform these tasks or not. Amen!

[Dkuznecov]

You mixed everything together.
Maintaining discipline
and morale is the concern of the officers.
Or do you think that the promotion in the combat
connections of women percent up to 40 will undermine discipline ?
Are we animals in the "rut" period? The soldiers will run
for ladies in uniform and offer a hand / heart instead of serving?
Then, in your opinion, all of NATO can be taken with bare hands,
since there the gender composition is not at all 99% of men.

[Nikolay1987]

I didn’t mix it up, but immediately gave the key factors why they don’t do it this way, because I don’t see much point in chewing each one separately.
In your opinion, it would be on someone to blame, for the sake of taking care of .... yes, by the way, taking care of what? Tolerance? Gender equality? Feminism?.
That is, if this is the duty of officers, then you can not worry that we will complicate their service?! The main thing is the fulfillment of duties! And if specialists - doctors, senior military officials, scientists, historians, and not politicians, commercial organizations or lobbyists, have decided that there will be no mixed male and female barracks, I'm already silent about gay ones, then this is necessary for national security.
NATO has its own standards for service, I don't care about them. Their safety, their business.

[Roman_vh]

Well, if you did not immediately understand such simple things, then development is hardly possible.

[Dkuznecov]

Well, then tell us about yourself, you are our mysterious.
Share your life experience.
"Dypak himself" is not an argument.
Thank you.
And pay attention, aggression is not too
good way to discuss.
We are not losing a cow here, or signing pacts.

What do you like about Africans?
Doesn't the fact that a bearded man in a dress will work with you in your office bother you?

I have friends of a similar plan. work like everyone else
do not wear dresses. I see that many "commentators" have quite
a perverted understanding of those we are talking about.
No, they don’t rush at anyone with courtship, and they don’t paint their lips.
Ordinary people solve their problems like everyone else - after hours.
Therefore, I do not understand the aggressive position at all.
some comrades.
By the way, I have nothing to do with these preferences,
as someone tried to imagine.
But I have a couple of programmers on staff who work
fine, they sit at a distance. I, in fact, work from them
needed, that's all.
Thanks to everyone who listened and was not rude.

[just exp]

now they don’t dress up in dresses, because they can grab it, but if they are given power, then ...
If you looked at the video of the first gay parades, there were just men in men's clothes marching in a column and that's it.
and now 30-40 years have passed and look at what they have become now.
then they were afraid and therefore walked in normal clothes and behaved normally. when they stop being afraid...
in general, watch the video yourself, it’s disgusting for me to even look for links (I saw these videos, so I know that it’s disgusting)

[Dkuznecov]

well, I think we will be raked for such a demonstration right away.
In general, I am against ANY protrusion of my own like umm.
sexual and religious preferences.
Both are deeply intimate, not public things.

[Dkuznecov]

Africans themselves are very artistic, temperamental,
musical and theatrical. Without them life would be
sure, more gray and dull.
And I don’t even want to talk about jazz, this is their invention,
I like too. Please see the Green Book
great movie, watch in one breath,

Your dull mentoring is depressing. And nothing more. Lectures on the dangers of alcoholism and promiscuity, this is in another thread, but rather another resource.

[just exp]

Oh yeah. everyone knows the famous African operas and musicals, and Negro composers are simply snapped up all over the planet.
the ancient civilizations of Africa are simply amazing with their architecture (if Egypt and Carthage are not blacks), but the fact that they are still hiding behind leaves is because of their love for ecology.
many articles have already been written about what blacks are fighters.
even Black Panther was not filmed by blacks.

[sgrabik]

The army is a special sphere, with its own specific ways, there is absolutely no place for any experiments with the complete freedom of the individual, which takes place in the "civilian", in the West they apparently decided to forget about it, but for us it is only for the good, in our the army should not conduct such experiments, the army should remain an army and not a circus arena !!!

[hohol95]

"Special Forces" of the US Army and NATO countries do not comply with Russian GOST!

[Cat]

Completely incorrect comparison. There are indeed about 60 thousand people under the command of USSOCOM (the main directorate of the MTR of the US Defense Ministry). But not all of them are combat units. This number includes many auxiliary units, such as:
95th Civil Affairs Brigade (95th Civil Affairs Brigade);
several groups (according to the number of regiments) of information support for military operations (Military Information Support Groups);
528th Support Brigade (528th Sustainment Brigade) - logistics, logistics and medical support;
as well as a bunch of all sorts of crap like PsyOps, chemical and radiation intelligence, communications, etc.
If we take the average ratio of combat and support units for the US Armed Forces, then we will also get 10-15 thousand active ukhorez.

In the old 90s, when there was friendship-chewing gum, paratroopers from the Pskov division were taken to France for competitions.
In the words of a paratrooper:
- parachute training among the Franks is not bad,
- the Franks lost the march, (there are many reasons, and not all due to poor preparation)
- shooter, somewhere, in some disciplines better, somewhere worse, well, 50/50.
Food, well, where without it, the Franks ate our rations and asked for more.
From myself: I liked the flight ration. If without zuppe, a good slice of ham, cheese, large grapes, herbs, marmalade, instant coffee, sugar.

It seems that here in the comments, some commandos have gathered. They all threw their hats on. Painted a portrait of an American commando. He looks like this: a representative of non-traditional sexual orientation, in diapers and a backpack with toilet paper. The Germans, too, at one time were drawn on caricatures, with twisted morels in helmets. And these morels reached the Volga and the Caucasus. It's bad to underestimate the enemy.

Why? This is usually a completely sane character who cares about insurance and payments. He is quite good at all the skills that he was taught. But amateurs from Washington always manage to impose on him the worst scenario of the operation.

[akarfoxhound]

If we move away from the topic of special forces, then in kukryniksy our nemchura were painted not before the war, but during the war, incl. and when they were already in Stalingrad and the Caucasus (in Tiberd I saw a pack of Kazbek "Greetings from the Caucasus" there, in the well-known picture of a smoker, the black silhouette of a mountaineer on a horse gives a pendal "morel in a helmet"). But this is propaganda.
For example, I know when ours worked on their task behind the card and Amer's specialists worked on their topics. An unspoken gentlemen's agreement - no one "hurt" each other with all professional respect (if I may say so during hostilities). Then the minke whales, in disagreement with the stage owners who invited them, had a serious set-up of our guys. Our work "nothing personal" is over, which they did not fail to warn about. Overseas guests very quickly pulled off the stage to the "distant rear" (I suspect the principle worked - the corpses do not need money). It also happened when, on a hot continent, a group left 2 snipers to cut off the tail. The result - 40 corpses, lying down and, as a result, mostly roasted on hot sand, we have one heavy, all at home. And the tail was not made up of ordinary boys.
This is not about the fact that there are no specialists in the West, this is about the fact that our non-bast shoes slurp cabbage soup. Surprises can come from all sides.

[Sands Careers General]

What deafening nonsense

The standards of the Western "special forces - special forces" are to tick at the slightest nix with superior enemy forces with full diapers of manure.

[nnm]

Well, this is not the right position, dear colleague. There are also very, very serious guys with excellent training and with funding much cooler than ours. Therefore, it is better to overestimate them than to think that the delta player can be beaten with earflaps.

[akarfoxhound]

Quote: nnm

... than to assume that a Delta man can be beaten with earflaps.

If my memory serves me right, the Deltovites, who were very worried about the progress of students, the "Cuban builders" in Grenada did a very good job. DShK is not earflaps, of course, but the effective zeroing episode was ...

[nnm]

Colleague, well, you should not make claims to the instrument if the problem is in the hand holding it. Our Alpha also suffered crazy losses in Beslan. But not because the unit was not trained, but because, well, this is how the situation developed, they went head-on with time pressure. Well, it happens to everyone. Well, there are no perfect solutions, only profitable and ideal situations, always, everything that can happen bad happens. And the specialists operate beyond the line, where they can and do the unthinkable, but not everything is in their power.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if the “Cuban builders” who drove the delta turned out to be guys from Vympel ...
It happens. Today we, tomorrow us. Specialists of this level are just the pinnacle, and it is far from correct to assume that someone in the delta walks in high heels and wags his butt. These are specialists. And they will bite seriously. And you have to be ready for this.

[Nikolay1987]

Yes, it is clear that without a specific characteristic by which the special forces of both countries can be compared, this is an article for the sake of a holivar.

[nnm]

That is exactly what I want to say. Comparison of a spherical horse in a vacuum.
I'm more worried about how our specialists are used. Why did the same Alpha begin to be used for detention on economic crimes? It's like hammering nails with a microscope. And even worse, when the fighters of the same Alpha, when detained in a bank, begin to shove wads of money under the armor .... how is it, in general, perhaps this is ALPHA !!!??

also. And now what in our time was considered commonplace is passed off as heroism.
It's just sad...

[Barberry25]

there is an opinion that the Americans considered ordinary military police to be "special forces"

[dauria]

16!!! guys from the MTR were kept in position by a battalion !!

"Battalion" means it was like that. Miracles don't happen. The advantage is three to one - and even if you are Rimbaud, they will roll away. Ordinary motorized riflemen will roll out any special forces and landing forces in such a battle. This is exactly what they are taught. But hiding in vegetable gardens is already special forces.

[Mountain shooter]

Quote: dauria

"Battalion" means it was like that. Miracles don't happen. The advantage is three to one - and even if you are Rimbaud

Without the use of artillery, it’s not so easy ... At least 3 to 1, at least 10. Fighters who skillfully use both mining and portable ATGMs, shooting accurately from riflemen - at the level of very good shooters, plus a couple of snipers in a group (although for 16 people there should have been 4)...
In the very first clash they laid down a company, then they hit a couple of armored "torpedoes on wheels" with martyrs (they wrote that they were ATGMs from the flank), at night they reinstalled mines in those places that the ISIS had already passed in attacks. How they psychologically broke the enemy - and there the Syrians who came to their senses arrived in time. This is a necessary advantage in an attack on an EQUAL enemy 3 to 1. And for this - and 10 to 1 is not enough.

Well, suffice it to recall the recent. For example, leaving the Kabul airport last fall. Very professional footwork. They don't care about diplomatic missions, especially valuable characters and other functions. Kakbe impression formed. Nothing personal.

I don’t understand at all whether it is necessary for someone to compare the school of Western and our special forces, but from personal observation: for some reason, our special forces learned quite well to copy 3.14nDOStansky, at least in terms of equipment and weapons (because I am not an employee or soldier special forces), then there is no need to write about the "inner kitchen" - oshs, tactics and the like. But I have repeatedly observed that our special forces are very fond of lowa, multicam, gore-tex and all sorts of such foreign gadgets. Of course, there are primordially our things, such as everyone's favorite "slide", but nevertheless, there is a fact of some borrowing. The essence of my post boils down to the fact that our specialists carefully study the experience of Western colleagues (if I may say so) and, as it seems to me, something that in their opinion is worthwhile is adopted into their practice, which I do not consider shameful.

It is worth recalling how their vaunted special forces screwed up in Iraq with a Black Hawk helicopter, and before that there was a lot more: the infamous failed operation Eagle Claw, Red Wings, and the complete mess in Mogadishu. This is generally epic: American special forces equipped with the latest, against dudes in slippers from the DShK from the time of the IVS

[Victor Dubovitsky]

Why should we look up to assholes? Our guys ... You are up to them, like walking to the moon.

[provergatel]

Crap! Fuck off, of course. T-62! And that's just 13,5 years ago.

Nevertheless, over these incomplete decade and a half, our army has seriously qualitatively changed for the better.

[Barberry25]

will the Americans after Mount Carmel teach someone how to storm?

[komandir8]

Our special forces abroad after Afghanistan fought only in Syria and then in separate units. In recent years, the Americans and the British have accumulated extensive experience in conducting special operations, they are still conducting them in Iraq, Syria and Libya. And in terms of the number of trained personnel, weapons and logistics, they are at a very high level. So we have a lot of work to do in this direction.

[TUNISIA]

Directly only in Syria after Afghanistan? Yeah...

Afghanistan 2001-21...
The special forces of the United States, Britain, France, Germany ... had 20 years in order to crush the Taliban one by one or in small groups, to kill the "field commanders" from young to old ...
VERDICT
The Taliban took full control of Afghanistan even before the US troops had time run away from Kabul.

[komandir8]

The Taliban cannot be crushed, this national-religious movement enjoying the full support of the vast majority of Afghanistan and the military intelligence of Pakistan. And the Americans understood this, and therefore left Afghanistan by making a political decision, since there was no point in staying there forever, a waste of finances and resources. Another thing is that the withdrawal of troops was poorly planned and organized, and the haste with which the entire coalition grouping left raises many questions.

[Uncle Vanya Susanin]

We saw these special operations: to shoot the unarmed from helicopters! In this, yes, they have no equal, but we do not need this!

[Prisoner]

Why do we need Western standards? Ours are no worse, at least. And in terms of ability for creativity, for improvisation, for non-standard moves and determination in general, there are few equal to ours.

[health]

If everything is so unimportant with us, from their point of view, then everything is fine with us. As a boy, I always envied these guys, as a person accomplished in another field, I respect, adore, sympathize and continue to quietly envy... Elite - one word, I want the Moscow Region to think so too.

[engineer74]

Just two points on the map: Grenada and Crimea

[Real Vugluskr]

Well, the author confuses the FSB TsSN with the SSO PGU MO

[komandir8]

Yes, he doesn’t even understand what he’s writing about, there are a lot of them here, they have no idea about anything, but they write... all sorts of nonsense.

[silver_roman]

Remind them about their delta and the evacuation of the embassy in Tehran. There's just a joint on a joint. It’s the same for me, warriors... just pathos. Of course, there are serious specialists there, but it’s still an eternal war in hothouse conditions when an AK-47 or an Uzi is against you, and you have a 3rd generation thermal imager, satellites 24 hours a day, a UAV and also agents among the locals. this is the level of real Rambos.

[salad]

Shut your pissing mouth, Western scumbag!

[silver_roman]

It’s difficult to feel good about the operation in Nord-Ost and Beslan. A lot of hostages died. Of course, I’m not blaming anyone, but the fact itself... how can you evaluate this?

[Real Vugluskr]

In BUT, many died not because of Alpha’s actions, but because of a very risky plan with gas and the unpreparedness of services and territory either for on-site resuscitation or for evacuation to hospitals, and also the doctor’s lack of information from fashion specialists, from whom they resuscitate . This caused fatal loss of time and errors.

Beslan - there could have been more dramatic options. The Yankees have never encountered anything like this before. Although, they did not save their ambassador in Libya from the grateful Libyan democratic opposition.

[Bryanskiy_Volk]

You are not a participant in those events in order to relate to them in any way, and you have absolutely no knowledge of either the circumstances or conditions of this operation in order to somehow “evaluate” the result of the work of Professionals with a capital P. Thus, in your sovereign opinion you are on the same level as the American idiot

[silver_roman]

To evaluate the outcome or any action, do you need to be a participant in this action? And you have no idea what I know and where I participate. As I wrote in my comment, I am not criticizing anyone. I am aware of the outcome of this tragedy. And I have the right to have my own sovereign opinion. And for some reason you decided at your level that you can tell me about my level and who else is at it. Don’t you take on a lot, “specialist”? If you have nothing to say other than rudeness, then pass by!

[yehat2]

Our special forces tasks are radically different from Western ones. There they pay a lot of attention to infiltration and partisan, subversive actions. Our special forces solve 99% of combat missions, hence the strong differences in combat training. The Georgian war showed that our special forces are much stronger than Western ones in solving and planning tactical combat missions, but are much inferior in technical equipment and support, which is why they are exposed to greater risks and stress. Alpha in the USSR also had a serious combat bias. For example, I know about one operation when a squad of specialists completely destroyed an Israeli mechanized column, including tanks, and the general who led it ended up in the MSK. In contrast, I will cite another operation of the Americans, when they stole the Mi-24. This clearly shows how different the tasks and available funds are. And any side can rightfully say that the other side is far from meeting its standards. I would like to note that after the hole in the 90s, our special forces finally began to receive a lot of specialized weapons and equipment.

[Real Vugluskr]

It is a pity that the Israelis themselves do not know about this operation. :)))) But since the burning of a hospital convoy by the Arabs in 1948, which became the reason for the attack on the ROP in Dir Yassin, it is difficult to remember other stories with the destruction of Israeli equipment on the march on any front.

[Borisych]

This is because the Taliban do not drive them like a herd of goats around the airfield and do not force them to move towards the airplane with accelerated jumps, throwing out everything unnecessary as they go - armored cars, machine guns and diapers. Afghanistan is not the movie Unbrushed - 4.

[viktor.]

Our guys have no equal and never will!!!! And Western Standards and their GeValues ​​are UNACCEPTABLE for us!!!!!!

[aleks700]

In general, the only drawback of our special forces is their relatively small number.

[Zomanus]

So we don’t fight all over the world...

[Real Vugluskr]

Then it wouldn't be special forces

[Torp20]

And that here everyone wipes their fingers and the shaving lotion is sloppy.

There are no and cannot be standards for special forces!!! especially Hollywood ones.

[Zomanus]

This is how they calm themselves down, it seems to me. Our special forces are bad and the grenades are of the wrong type... Very similar to the reassurance of Germany before the attack on us in 41.

[Mihail1885]

An ordinary stupid article by a journalist, in which special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, army special forces, PMCs and mercenaries were mixed.
Complete mess in my head.
The Ros SSO is an analogue of fiery special forces; there are essentially no analogues in terms of functions and army special forces in the West.

[Real Vugluskr]

Let’s not indulge in the myth of the “real enemy.” The Russian Federation also did not encounter it in this case. By the way, the myth about the Bedouins with berdanks is also dangerous (by the way, the Bedouins are the elite of the Arab world, descended from the Prophet, they do not participate in the conflicts of the fellahs) thanks to sponsors from the Gulf countries, as well as the Yankees in the “democratic mujahideen”, these rabziks have good training and weapons. The minus is the reconnaissance means, the plus is knowledge of the area and population. That's why they weren't defeated by drones. But even those were not allowed to win.

Who are the descendants of Muhammad? A Bedouin is an Arab nomad, a fellah is an Arab farmer, and that's all the difference.

It's scary to fight with them...

[restless]

Ugh, sodomites...

[riwas]

seriously inferior to the USA, where there are five times more fighters

For Russian special forces, one against five is a normal ratio.

American special forces have more expensive equipment, but ours have more ingenuity, innovative thinking and a stronger spirit.

Just don’t need esoteric cries and fairy tales about the spirit of special forces. You did not communicate easily with foreign military personnel, especially from the task force. Everything is fine there with motivation and ingenuity. And most importantly, with discipline and skills of interspecies interaction. Where you can aim a UAV, there is no need to run around with a machine gun and shout pew-pew, madafakaz among exploding barrels of gasoline!

"Pride" is a mortal sin. The Americans forgot about it...or maybe they never remembered.

[Igor Valimukhametov]

A striking example of the deepest level of American analytics: the utter bottom. They also forgot to mention that their special forces are cooler because... receives a salary in dollars. How many English and American specialists did we shake out of various holes in Syria, where they hid out of fear, in the same Western and Eastern Gouts, in Aleppo, etc.. And how the brave Iranians brought the crying ones to their knees commandos and demonstrated to the whole world. Ours fight to the end, and then call fire on themselves. And where did this little bastard see the tanks during the assault on Nord-Ost? Most people died from suffocation due to the slowness of doctors and authorities. They simply had a fuse tongue and blocked the air supply while they were unconscious, and the special forces solved their task completely, it was not the guys’ fault that the freed hostages were dumped into ambulances and taken to hospitals without bothering with control.

[Real Vugluskr]

Well, after the source’s assessment of the “spitsnaz” confuses the anti-terrorist TsSN FSB and the army special forces, you don’t have to read further about reviews and standards (which ones?).

I would generally focus less on these unique guys. It is better to pay attention to the equipment and new platoon staffs of the Americans. There is a deputy on staff. commander for electronic and robotic systems. Those. at the elementary tactical sublevel there is a need for specialists, who, at best, are in a battalion, or even in a brigade. This means that each fighter is equipped with electro-optics, at least a collimator. Integrated communications. Each platoon has its own UAV, also integrated into the BTG network. Each platoon will have or already has “mules” attached to it. A couple of years and the kids will get exosuits. Plus the growth in the potential of means of supporting the senior commander, also with a bunch of robotic crap and all sorts of extended range. Against this background, their SOC becomes less of a problem, while ours are still “intact through the eye of the squirrel.” Even what 45 came to Kazakhstan with is indicative.

And what will such special forces do if they are thrown into the wilderness where there are no electronics or communications... dragging with them additional luggage in the form of batteries? And all this electrical equipment if there is no connection with the satellite becomes simple hardware...

Afghanistan especially showed how good American special forces are. In the distribution of drugs and in the haste to escape, abandoning allies, equipment, and prestige. If you consider the surroundings, the combat load in the form of bells and whistles, completely unnecessary in a particular case, but wearable, at the request of insurance companies. Otherwise, if you do not wear what is prescribed, then the wounded person’s insurance will not be paid. Hence the crawling-walking furniture-armed machine. falling from unbearable load and heat. It was because of the overload that the Serbs called the Americans Pindos. Which means penguins in their language. Pants with the clothes dangling near the ground, packs and ammunition.

Can you find out what operations were successfully carried out by the “invincible” American special forces? Winning hamburger eating contests does not count.

There is nothing like leather.

[alexey sidykin]

I wonder what the Americans themselves can boast about? In addition, their special forces often lost to our paratroopers at meetings... so we still have to see who is inferior to whom.

[Alexfly]

By the way, somehow information leaked on social networks that candidates for the Belgian Special Forces complained to the court that they were being punished (not allowed to sleep, underfed, forced to do physical training to the point of exhaustion, mental influence...) during training (i.e. . training according to the SAS system, apparently, is one of the most stringent). So, people join the elite just for the sake of beautiful epaulets?

[Yarhann]

These schoolchildren don’t even know or understand how many different special forces we have. FSB special forces worked in NordOST and Beslan. Military missions use military special forces, combined special forces units, etc. - Airborne Forces, GRU, Navy, etc. And there are also special forces of the FSO, FSIN, etc.
In police missions - that is, clearing the territory, searching for the leaders of the NBF, they used special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (KGB in the USSR). A lot of missions from Afghanistan to Chechnya, Dagestan and Syria.
So what kind of special forces are we talking about, I still don’t understand? What special forces are we having problems with?

Some tactics of their special forces have not yet been mastered by ours.
For example, fleeing in burqas in the Middle East, as the British SAS periodically practices! The main thing is that the trunks do not stick out ...

And our special forces are not obliged to meet their standards! Because the work of the special forces is based on surprise and unconventional tactics (who foresaw the CSTO peacekeepers in Kazakhstan, huh?). If the guys are expected in advance and their plan is known, then the operation has failed before the start.

I don’t agree about the British in Afghanistan. They completed the task, and how did they get to the point... during combat operations behind enemy lines, all means are good to achieve the task.
