Russian Spetsnaz Special Forces [NIA]

Special Forces Faction that adds Russian 'Spetsnaz' Forces, based on the Spetsnaz 'Vympel' unit from 2012-2016. It contains a range of ground and air forces, with vehicle supports.

Historical Info-

The term 'Spetsnaz' is a general catch-all that refers to all Soviet and Russian Special Forces groups. The faction is based on the Spetznaz GRU and the Spetznaz 'Vympel' units in particular, as well as a small Spetznaz SSO unit for desert fighting.

The Faction-

'Vympel' Unit was formed under the command of the KGB, the Soviet intelligence forces, in 1981, and it operates internationally, outside Russia's borders. The Unit went on to fight in Afghanistan, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Angola, Mozambique, Lebanon, as either direct combat units and a raiding force, intelligence gathering recon missions, or as military advisers in fighting against guerrilla or insurgent movements.

Spetznaz SSO are equipped in Multicam uniforms, with more access to Zenitco AK-74's and AK103's compared to the Vympel units, with SVD's, PKP's and RPG-18's in specialist roles. The standard sidearm is the MP443 'Grach' but some Glock 17's and Makarov PM's are also used in small numbers.

They are based on photographs and helmet camera footage of Spetsnaz units from 2012 to early-2017. Unlike Western special forces groups this faction has a large amount of close range weapons largely with red dot sights and the VSS for silent elimination of guards and sentries, or assassinations.

Also includes a substantial amount of SSO Spetsnaz soldiers, based on photographs and helmet camera footage from Mid-2016 to March, 2017, from the fighting in the Palmyria Offensive, Syria. The SSO are much more suited to desert fighting than the Vympel forces, and have slightly more access to more advanced equipment due to being based on photos that are several years newer.

Specialist Elements-

The 'Vympel' unit have small teams of Recon Forces with supressed carbines, VKSS's and a Ghille suited sniper team. They also have a gunship-transported squad for heavily armed assaults into enemy bases or compounds.

Supports-

A Hunter-Killer Mi-48 Gunship team is available as heavy fire support, with 2 gunships operating in tandem to destroy ground targets. A T-72 BM heavily upgraded T-72 tank in Russian camo is also available, and static weapons like the KORD and AGS-30 grenade machineguns can be carried within the squads.

Faction has full Editor, Zeus, Task Force Radio and ALiVE support (faction name RUS ) Also supports ACE3 Medical system. Russian Spetsnaz is an INDEP faction.
