 | | Strictly speaking all SPETSNAZ units operated by the KGB/FSB are called OSNAZ, an acronym for voiska 'osobogo naz'nacheniya or "special purpose detachments". |
 | | OSNAZ FSB is thought to include two units, Alpha Group/Spetszgruppe (A) and Vega Team /Spetszgruppe (V) (formerly known as "Vympel"). |
 | | Osnaz MVD also known as Spetnaz MVD includes some Interior Troops units, like "Vitjaz", "Rus", "Rosich", "Skif", "Grom", etc. Most of these are primarily infantry combat units intended for use to combat insurgency, especially in Chechnya, and possibly also to suppress revolts in prisons or military units, if any are to occur. |
