Stagler's Spetsnaz GRU

[Stagler 39]

Spetsnaz GRU

Requires ARMA 2 Combined Operations

I finally finished v1.0 of my Spetsnaz GRU addon after about 1 year of failed works in progress.

I made these first for personal use and for TF86 but they werent used so i carried on working on them for public release.

I originally intended these to be like the BIS MVD but I took a different path halfway through development.

I recieved alot of help from the lads at The Red Fox Studios and some models from W0lle and took these in the direction that resulted in this end state.

v1.6 Features

• Overall the look and feel of these units is that of a conventional military spetsnaz team, not MVD or FSB. (I may add heavier MVD style units later on)
  
• 6 kinds of Operators wearing Gorka D: Teamleader, Scout, Marksman, Assaultman, Medic, & Operator (Under Men).
  
• 6 kinds of Operators wearing Gorka D Izlom: Teamleader, Scout, Marksman, Assaultman, Medic, & Operator(Under Men (Woodland)).
  
• 6 kinds of Operators wearing Mountain Flora and Sumrak suits mixed: Teamleader, Scout, Marksman, Assaultman, Medic, & Operator(Under Men (Desert)).
  
• A Sniper and Spotter wearing KZS camoflage suits (Under Men).
  
• OA features compatible: Backpacks etc (OA thermal textures will come in a later update).
  
• Equipped with BIS AKS-74s (Different weapons configs will come in a later update, or just use "this addweapon "x"" ;)).
  
• New flora balaclava head which is used by some of the units
  
• New GRU Rucksack (Thanks to SARMAT Studios for the model).
  

They can be found under the EAST side in the faction "GRU"

Amazing units mate!

thanks a lot for sharing

[mr pedersen 41]

Is there any of them with the same nice helmet and facemask as you have as Avatar Stagler?

Me want! ;)

Very good job!!

[Stagler 39]

@Blackfox: haha I aim to please mate.

@Mr Pedersen: As I said, im looking into making some guys with Altyn helmets soon. First I need to iron out a few bugs, do some guys in Izlom texture for Kis4M3, and look to reworking the textures as a whole now EugenyKrag has PM'd me some WIP shots of his new gorka textures.

[Clarkey1 10]

@stagler: ok thanks mate.

@Blackfox: HAH! I see what you did there.

[mr pedersen 41]

Whooohoooo!!

Im happy! nice to hear!! GOOD LUCK!

I really hope PR start using your troops or ACE?

PR need balance faction this will do it, stone age Takis vs Brits/US does not work in long term. This might make gameplay even?

Or any way, would like to see some nice battles now with two factions with some kind of balance now insted of U.S/Brits 2011-equipment VS 1970´s-AK with out any kind of scope etc.

Guys, GRU is not FSB, GRU doesn't use any altyn helmets.

I'm not sure, but I didn't see GRU fighters in such helmets.

Stagler, the addon is awsome, and patiently waiting for EugenyKrag's Russian Modern Motorized Infantry addon update to make ARMA 2 the best OPFOR experience.

And if your gonna make them with helmets, make a sepparate addon since GRU doesnt use those kind of helmets like in your pic, they are stealthy, nimble units. But since 2008 Russian Army and SpeOps has modernizised alot (did i spell it right?) and now the whole gear has changed. Ive made a video of their lastest gear (not sure if in service tho).

One question tho: Is it MP compatible? thanks again.

Eugeny is right. Altyn is only used by FSB and MVD units. GRU is army special forces, not police or state. So their job is battlefield reconnaisance and conventional special operations such as disruption of supply lines and sabotage.

If i make some units with Altyn later on they will be in a seperate addon labelled as such. But will use these units as a base most probably.

In fact, the GRU soldiers can be attached at different divisions of Russian Army, for example, the 45th Detached Reconnaissance Regiment of VDV is in collaboration with GRU, and often GRU soldier is attached to this regiment, but in shadow....:) So, finaly we can see GRU soldier with helmet :)

Some good pics of 45th Reco (if you want HD send me an MP) :
