teargas 0 Posted February 12, 2002 I remember numerous posts and threads disputing Russian Spetsnaz troops and finally here we are. I occasionally found the whole book dedicated to history and agenda of this entire issue. You can read the facts collected and presented by a man formerly being an insider of different Soviet military circles: Viktor Suvorov. Spetsnaz. The Story Behind the Soviet SAS. I would not recommend to consider this source as Ultimate Truth Disclosure since the author describes facts of secret spetsnaz (external ops/deep recon) and this book is not an official dossier but a very good and understandable glance of his persona. I would underline, though, INSIDER's glance to spetsnaz. That spetsnaz you see in OFP by IMHO better be stated as army recon teams or reconaissanse, since they appear to be on the forward edge in battle and have nothing to do with operations in enemy deep rear or external intelligence / saboteur tasks. Actually maybe sometimes Anyway. A must read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teargas 0 Posted February 12, 2002 One important comment: The link in original post is directed to REAL BOOK, as text. That's not a book store preview, you don't have to buy it. Just go and read. This is the way how we Russians handle it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akm74 1 Posted February 13, 2002 I would not recommend you to read anythink under name "viktor suvorov" . It like Bill Clinton or Muhhamed Ali will write a book about special operations in vietnam war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonfire 0 Posted February 13, 2002 I've read some stuff periviously on Spetsnaz, and the training they go though is unparalelle in its persision and brutality. Russian Prisoners/Crimials are the live Punching bags for these guys, no joke. At one point in the training, your drill sargent will twist your arm behind your back, then someone else will flash a knife at you. then you have to choose one of two extremes, to have your arm broken, or two be cut with a knife. Spetsnaz are the toughest of the tough in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
