	SPETSNAZ
		SPETSNAZ are not particularly well known within the Soviet military, and they tend not to publicize their existence and capabilities.
		For example, SPETSNAZ units in the Far East are alleged to have available North Koreans and Japanese from Manchuria and the Kuril Islands.
		SPETSNAZ as we know them today were probably not formed until the midsixties, perhaps as a response to increased U.S. emphasis on unconventional warfare, exemplified by President Kennedy's support for the U.S. Army Special Forces.

	Spetsnaz
		The spetsnaz are different in being dedicated to one or more types of covert special operations and in receiving specialised training in the intelligence gathering (razvedchiki), long-range reconnaissance patrols (iskatelia), abduction (okhotniki), foreign raids (reydoviki), partisan support, sabotage and assassinations.
		A spetsnaz brigade has between 1000 and 1300 men and is trained to operate either as a single unit or in a number of sub-units to a maximum of 135.
		KGB spetsnaz, disguised as conventional airborne troops, accompanied their GRU and, possibly, MVI spetsnaz colleagues on the assault on Darulaman which resulted in the murder of President Amin and his entire family.

	Spetsnaz [Archive] - Airsoft Canada
		The weapons issued to spetsnaz are very varied, covering a wide range, from the guitar string (used for strangling someone in an attack from behind) to small portable nuclear changes with a TNT equivalent of anything from 800 to 2000 tons.
		In case of necessity a spetsnaz group may be issued with one or two crossbows to carry out some special mission in which a man has to be killed without making any noise at all and in darkness at a distance of several dozen metres.
		This is understandable, because spetsnaz in the land forces can operate only in the territory of the Soviet Union and its satellites and in Afghanistan, while the naval brigades have an enormous field of operations in the international waters of the world's oceans and sometimes in the territorial waters of sovereign states.

	Systema UK - Russian martial art of Systema
		Airborne troops and spetsnaz troops subsequently went through a parallel development, until the control of spetsnaz was given over entirely to military intelligence.
		So spetsnaz was established, with the brief of being able to operate up to 1000 kilometers behind enemy lines, with emphasis on enemy nuclear delivery means, either locating them for attack by other forces or, if necessary, attacking by themselves.
		Their uniforms are not distinctive, with ground forces spetsnaz usually wearing airborne or signal troops' uniforms and naval spetsnaz wearing naval infantry or submariners' uniforms.

	Spetsnaz
		At certain points in its history spetsnaz passed out of the control of military intelligence into the hands of the airborne forces, at others the airborne troops exercised administrative control while military intelligence had operational control.
		But in the end it was reckoned to be more expedient to hand spetsnaz over entirely to military intelligence.
		The progress of spetsnaz over the following years cannot be studied in isolation from the development of the airborne forces.
