    "The Spetznas were armed with the new, elite rifle: an AK-47. However, since it was an experimental rifle, they also carried the other AK-47. Additionally, they were trained in standard Soviet weapons, such as the AK-47, the machine-AK-47, the sniper AK-47, and the AK-47 with a rocket attached."

      When you come up with a great idea, you run with it. Even now they are still updating the AK platform. Need a pistol caliber carbine? Vityaz, which looks exactly like an AK.
      AK-47, AKM, AK74, AKS--74u, AK 100 series, now AK 12, 15, and 19.... It never ends! Davai!

      The Russians have realized that the AK platform can provide almost all their military small arms requirements so they have upgraded to the "AK 100" system, which provides submachine guns, carbines, assault rifles in a variety of configurations, light machine guns, designate marksman/sniper rifles, semi or full auto shotguns, also semi auto hunting rifles to supply their military, police, security, civilian and export needs, with the added benefit of vastly decreased production costs, less tooling setups, increased interchangeability of parts, and the ability to suddenly increase production of any configuration to suit a particular need.

When we talk about Spetsnaz in Afghanistan, it is mainly the GRU brigades and partly the "Alpha" of the KGB that are understood by it. These two special forces worked in Afghanistan. The situation changed in Chechnya when the special forces of the airborne forces appeared - the 45th Airborne Brigade (at that time the regiment, you could see them landing in Gostomel in 2022). Special purpose police units, the FSB "Vimpel" or "Pennaut" in-English (colleagues of the Alpha group) took part in Chechnya. There were even special forces... prison service. By the way, they proved themselves worthy. But all this diversity, which has expanded even more to the present day, did not exist in Afghanistan. Then it was mainly GRU and "Alfa"

He is now also godfather of my 2 kids. He participated in a raid to capture a high ranking mujahedeen. They succeeded btw. He also told me about how they monitored communications between mujahedeen from a very long distance, I was baffled about the technology they already had back then. He's very well spoken, very intelligent and polite person. If you would see him on the street, you would never think he's a spetznaz/GRU veteran, and he also doesn't like to brag about it. He did his job, lost some friends back then, and made it back home. That's the most important.

    Spetsnaz is a contraction of their name in Russian, “chasti spetsial naznacheniya nogo”, or “troops of special designation”. The spetsnaz were organized to be like the American Green Berets, but with more focus on direct action and sabotage. The GRU Spetnaz is the best of the best, although KGB spets gruppe Al’fa (Alpha) would argue that designation. The GRU is military intelligence, while the KGB is ostensibly civilian, like the CIA. GRU Desant are spetsnaz divers, the equivalent of Navy SEALs. KGB Vympel is a murder team...government trained and financed assassins. KGB OMON are oriented towards keeping the peace in prisons.
