In 2000, by order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, October 24 was officially declared the Day of the GRU Special Forces. This was a kind of public act of recognition of the merits that the army special intelligence inscribed in the history of the Armed Forces of the USSR and the Russian Federation.
Scouts by the nature of their profession are not public people. Of course, they have their memorable dates, which are celebrated by a narrow circle of professionals. Basically, these are the days of the founding of specific parts. The idea that it would be necessary to celebrate a common holiday for all, arose in the nineties of the twentieth century. Remembered history.
On October 24, 1950, the secret Directive of the Minister of War of the USSR No. ORG / 2/395/832 appeared. She laid the foundation for the creation of special intelligence. In the autumn of the same year, 46 separate special forces companies of 120 people each were created in all military districts. The leadership of combat training was entrusted to the Main Directorate of the General Staff, better known as the GRU.
The GRU special forces were created for operations in the deep rear of the enemy, even in the United States. It was assumed that if NATO launched a mechanism for the start of hostilities against the USSR, and the situation became irreversible, the special forces would be the first to enter the battle. The reconnaissance groups were to appear in the immediate vicinity of all command posts and strategic facilities of the North Atlantic bloc. Their task was to conduct reconnaissance and, if necessary, begin to destroy command posts, missile launchers, strategic aviation and even nuclear submarines in the bases. And also disrupt communications, power supply, destroy transport communications, sow panic and bring chaos to the military and public administration aggressor countries.
Despite the improbability of these tasks, the GRU special forces were able to solve them very effectively. The special intelligence arsenals had everything they needed, including portable nuclear mines. For penetration into enemy territory, various options were envisaged: from classic parachute landing to completely legal travel abroad. In this case, the illegal agents of the GRU had to prepare in advance for reconnaissance saboteurs bases and appropriate weapons. Combat training for special forces was developed individually and was characterized by high intensity.
It is clear that such lethal force could not be prematurely disclosed. And the GRU special forces were classified more strictly than even the nuclear forces of the USSR. In any case, even a child knew that the Armed Forces have the Strategic Missile Forces, there are strategic bombers carrying atomic bombs, there is an atomic submarine fleet. Not all generals and marshals knew that GRU special forces existed in the structure of the Armed Forces. And if they knew, then in the most general terms.
The first open references to these units appeared after the end of our war in Afghanistan. At the same time, special forces began to appear en masse in all power structures. They were romanticized for some reason. As a result, the word “special forces” was dragged out and erased. It has lost its romantic veil of intelligence and has become as dull and faceless as a “cop” or “OMON”.
The GRU special forces really became the finest hour, although it should not have acted there in principle - it was not created for such a war. You can talk endlessly about the Afghan spetsnaz epic. In this case, it is worth noting that, faced with unusual tasks for themselves, the combat units of the GRU adapted very quickly and began to fight in such a way that their effectiveness became higher than, for example, that of airborne units, especially motorized riflemen. The special forces are essentially partisans. And since in Afghanistan the war was going on with irregular, one might say, partisan detachments of dushmans, the special intelligence detachments of the GRU were in their element. Although, it is worth repeating, no one has ever prepared them for long-term hostilities. However, the individual training of the scouts was of such high quality, and the general cultural level was so high, that the junior officers of the special forces not only fought successfully, but also brilliantly solved the most complex military-political tasks. It happened that one detachment of the GRU could pacify and calm an entire rebellious province for a long time.
Perestroika ended with the collapse of the Union. And immediately, blood was shed on the outskirts of the Soviet empire. In 1992, a massacre began in Tajikistan. Terrible atrocities were committed, which only eyewitnesses know about to this day. There was no Internet then. Information from the war-torn republic was not particularly disseminated. Meanwhile, the darkest forces were rapidly gaining the upper hand there. That's it, and the whole of Central Asia could explode. So much so that the still unborn CIS would shudder.
Leadership new Russia, declared the legal successor of the USSR, there was no other choice but to intervene directly. The most correct decision in that situation, oddly enough, was taken by Yegor Gaidar, who was then acting head of the Russian government. He instructed the GRU special forces to restore order in Tajikistan.
The choice fell on the 15th brigade stationed in the city of Chirchik, not far from Tashkent. That brigade was commanded by the now widely known “enemy of Chubais, who was Gaidar’s best friend,” Colonel Vladimir Kvachkov. According to the brigade commander, Moscow gave him literally dictatorial powers. He could, at his discretion, execute and pardon everyone in Tajikistan, regardless of persons and positions. Colonel Kvachkov immediately refused such dubious authority. He undertook to extinguish the war, but set a condition: do not interfere, and completely entrust the pacification of Tajikistan to the special forces in the way that only they can. And he received all the necessary powers, from the same Gaidar, by the way.
In September 1992, the 15th brigade quietly entered Tajikistan and ... disappeared into it. In the republic itself, practically no one knew that Russian intelligence officers had entered the war. Surprisingly, the terrible massacre that engulfed the entire republic ceased, as it were, by itself and rather quickly. There were no air assault strikes, no massive bombardments and thousands of senselessly dead soldiers. Losses, of course, were, but literally single. But they managed to save hundreds of thousands, and maybe millions of lives of Uzbeks, Kirghiz, Slavs and the same Tajiks who were at war with each other. On the long years calmed down not only Tajikistan, but the whole of Central Asia.
Two years later, the pacification of rebellious Chechnya began. For some reason, the GRU was initially not allowed to carry out this mission. The result is known to all: large-scale fighting, Grozny, destroyed to smithereens, an innumerable number of refugees, killed, maimed, missing.
Only after it became clear that the situation in Chechnya was getting out of control, the GRU special forces were sent there in a fire order.
The haste and ill-conceived actions of the then leadership of the Ministry of Defense led to the fact that the scouts suffered completely unjustified losses and ended up in the most stupid situations - the militants, albeit temporarily, were captured by almost detachments of “Grushnikov”. However, special forces are special forces for that, that they can get out in any situation. The scouts not only got used to the new mountainous conditions, but began to fight so skillfully and, in general, cleanly that even in Grozny, which after Khasavyurt came under the complete control of the separatists, one of the buildings for a long time flaunted the inscription: GLORY GRU - a remnant of the past slogan GLORY TO WORK.
In the second counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus, the special forces were treated very differently. The GRU was given very large powers. The defeat of the bandit formations took place relatively quickly and was given with relatively little bloodshed.
The GRU spetsnaz did not wait for the “X” hour, when they would be thrown into the depths of Western Europe, especially in the USA. Maybe it's for the best. For the past thirty years, he has fought where, as they said, he should not have fought in principle. And fought well! Perhaps that is why the leadership of the Ministry of Defense decided that the special forces should already formally occupy the niche in which they actually settled a long time ago. That is, not to be a “scarecrow” for NATO, but to participate in ground counter-terrorist operations. Perhaps these parts will indeed be reborn in a new capacity. Long live the special forces!

Special Forces Day in the Russian Federation is becoming a holiday for an elite military unit that performs the most difficult combat missions. Warriors in "maroon" berets have always been respected among Russians, and the name of the headdress of the special forces is associated with the word "sprinkled", that is, covered in blood. So it is called in honor of the special forces who died during the performance of special operations, and among the military personnel of this unit of the troops, the "marked" beret is a symbol of courage.
History: Today Special Forces Day is officially celebrated by all servicemen military units special purpose, and this one has undergone a long evolution. The first such structures were created back in 1918 in order to fruitfully fight the Basmachi and rebels. Central Asia at the time of establishment Soviet power on the territory of the former Russian Empire.
These departments are considered the ancestors of modern special forces, although the names of these military units and their structure have changed repeatedly. However, the essence of the work of special detachments remained unchanged for decades, since groups of qualified military personnel were engaged in the search and subsequent detention of the most dangerous criminals, freed hostages and eliminated various gangs.
At present, the Russian special forces are modern paramilitary units subordinate to various federal authorities, and each of them is characterized by the presence of its own code name. Such branches include Vityaz and Alfa, Rus and Vympel, and the soldiers of each individual unit have specific tasks.
Distinctive characteristics of military personnel in maroon berets are coordination of actions, responsiveness and mobility, and Special Forces Day was approved as recognition of the special merits of soldiers in ensuring stability in the state. Special Forces is celebrated on October 24 according to a presidential decree signed in 2006. But the troops have another “birthday”, which is celebrated on August 29, since on this date in 1957 it was decided to form five special battalions of special forces.
Peculiarities: GRU Special Forces Day is now an official holiday celebrated on October 24, however, neither mass celebrations nor any demonstration performances are held on the streets of domestic cities at this time. The GRU units were created back in 1950 on the initiative and the main task of this separate special forces unit was to combat the spread of what was being created in the territory
The Day of the Special Forces of the Airborne Forces coincides with the professional holiday of other troops, since October 24 is a date that unites all military personnel of the elite units of the Russian army. Only police officers serving in the OMON can solemnly celebrate Special Forces Day on another date - November 9, listening to congratulations and parting words from their direct superiors - the heads of the Internal Affairs Directorate.
celebration: Special Forces soldiers serving in elite units celebrate their professional holiday in different ways, but strangers are rarely allowed to solemn events. As a rule, competitions of various reconnaissance groups are held on such a day, however, they are often held on the territory of closed combat units, and only the command is able to fully assess their level of tactical and special training. Many commandos celebrate the unofficial part of the holiday in a close circle of colleagues, recalling past special operations, and almost no owner of a maroon beret celebrates a professional date in clubs.
The beginning of the history of special forces in Russia is considered to be the creation in 1918 of special forces - CHON. They were subordinate to the Cheka and were intended to fight the Basmachi in Central Asia and the rebels on the territory of Russia itself.
In the future, special units were mainly located in the Cheka (NKVD - MGB - KGB). October 24, 1950 USSR Minister of War Marshal Soviet Union A.M. Vasilevsky issued a directive ordering the formation of 46 special-purpose companies with a staff of 120 people by May 1, 1951. Over time, the structure and quantitative composition of the army special forces changed more than once, but the essence of its mission, in principle, always remained the same.
Now special forces are paramilitary units of the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergencies, the Ministry of Justice and other federal bodies state power(detachments, groups, reinforced groups), which have their own conditional names ("Alpha", "Vityaz", "Vympel", "Rus"). They are intended for counter-terrorist actions, actions to search for and detain especially dangerous and armed criminals, liquidate criminal groups, free hostages and conduct other special operations.
Distinctive features of special forces units
Special status within the sectoral department. The specifics of the activities of special forces leaves its mark on the units of this category within the ministry, department, army or navy, depending on departmental affiliation. The activity of each such division is enshrined in a separate regulatory legal act. Special functions require more specific weapons, equipment, equipment, transport, which affects higher funding, unlike regular units. The level of combat training requires an enhanced training base and separate training centers.
High level of moral, psychological, ideological, physical and combat training of personnel. Special Forces units, as a rule, perform tasks in specific conditions, which require a high level of training.
Availability of special means of defense and attack. Special Forces units have weapons, equipment and vehicles with narrowly focused characteristics, higher than those available in the branch department in the state. This is due, again, to the tasks assigned to the special forces. From an economic point of view, it is not advisable to equip regular units with expensive equipment. In addition, special forces have narrowly targeted means (for example, special means reconnaissance, special assault weapons). Given that the training of special forces personnel has higher costs, there is a need for higher security, which requires more technological means of protection, life support and evacuation.
Judging from economic side, then the life of a special forces soldier is several orders of magnitude more valuable than the life of an ordinary soldier of a general-purpose unit.
Ability to perform tasks autonomously under extreme conditions.
The beginning of the history of special forces in Russia is considered to be the creation in 1918 of special forces - CHON. They were subordinate to the Cheka and were intended to fight the Basmachi in Central Asia and the rebels on the territory of Russia itself. In the future, special units were mainly located in the Cheka (NKVD - MGB - KGB).
October 24, 1950 Minister of War of the USSR Marshal of the Soviet Union A.M. Vasilevsky issued a directive ordering the formation of 46 special-purpose companies with a staff of 120 by May 1, 1951.
Over time, the structure and quantitative composition of the army special forces changed more than once, but the essence of its mission, in principle, always remained the same. In 1957, separate special-purpose battalions (OSSN) were created, and in 1962 they began to form as part of the troops of the districts of the special-purpose brigade (BSN). Later, battalions were created on their basis, and then special forces brigades. Parts of the special purpose on a permanent basis were widely deployed under the auspices of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the General Staff. By the time of the collapse of the USSR, the ground forces, the GRU, the airborne troops, the navy, and the air force had their own special forces.
In the 1970s-1980s, there were 13 special forces brigades in the army. It was during this period that their active combat work began, which took place in Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Vietnam. Then the war broke out in Afghanistan. As part of the Soviet contingent, eight special forces detachments operated there, organizationally consolidated into two brigades. They performed the following tasks: conducting reconnaissance, destroying detachments and caravans of the Mujahideen, detecting and inspecting caravans, mining caravan trails and routes of movement of bandit formations, installing reconnaissance and signaling equipment. Over the years, the methodology for training fighters for special forces units has been systematized and debugged.
During the Chechen campaign, the special forces performed their immediate duties, conducting search and ambush and sabotage and reconnaissance activities. According to many military experts, no one fought better than the GRU special forces in the 2000s in the North Caucasus. In April 2001, for special distinction in the battles to ensure the security and integrity of the Russian Federation, the 22nd separate special-purpose brigade received the title of guards. This is the first military formation in Russia, which was awarded such honorary title after the end of the Great Patriotic War.
Now special forces are paramilitary formations of the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Justice and other federal government bodies (detachments, groups, reinforced groups), which have their own code names ("Alpha", "Vityaz", "Vympel", " Russia"). They are intended for counter-terrorist actions, actions to search for and detain especially dangerous and armed criminals, liquidate criminal groups, free hostages and conduct other special operations.
Each of the special purpose units of the federal bodies of Russia has its own date of creation and its own history.
Thus, the special forces of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces were created October 24, 1950. The special forces of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were formed by order of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the USSR on December 31, 1977. At first it was a special purpose training company. In 1989 - a training battalion, in 1991 - a special-purpose detachment "Vityaz". In 2000, the Vityaz detachment and the 1st operational regiment were merged into the Special Purpose Regiment. In the same internal troops, on August 1, 1994, a special unit "Rus" was formed. At the time, units were created in the Ministry of Internal Affairs: OMON - October 23, 1988, OMSN - November 9, 1978, SOBR - April 1, 1993. The FSB created: "Alpha" - July 29, 1974, "Vympel" - August 19, 1981. On October 8, 1998, the Special Purpose Center was formed. On May 18, 1995, the Sigma special unit appeared in the Federal Border Service. Special forces have the Federal Security Service, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the State Customs Committee.
There was no single Day uniting all the special forces, the most combat-ready and advanced detachment of military personnel and employees of law enforcement agencies, in Russia. The beginning of the celebration of Special Forces Day is considered to be the meeting of the fighters of special units with the leadership of the country on August 29, 1996. The heads of all ministries and departments of the federal bodies of the Russian Federation supported the idea of the holiday and in 1999 signed an appeal to the President of Russia on granting him state status.
Decree of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin dated May 31, 2006 established seven professional holidays and 14 memorable days to revive military traditions and enhance prestige military service, as well as in recognition of the merits of military specialists in ensuring the defense and security of the state. Among them is the Day of Special Forces, which is celebrated October 24.

Person of the day
On June 16, 1931, American mobster Al Capone, his brother Ralph and 68 other gangsters found themselves in the dock. Employees of the Ministry of Finance managed to establish that in the period 1925-1927. he generally evaded income tax, and in 1928-1929. hid information about income.
October 24, 1931 Al Capone was sentenced to 11 years in prison, plus a fine of 50,000 thousand dollars and repayment of legal costs of 30,000 thousand dollars.
Once in a new maximum security prison on the rocky island of Alcatraz, the "King of Chicago" turned into "Italian with a mop."
On November 17, 1939, Capone was released. He was no longer a resident. Syphilis, which he was awarded by one of the prostitutes working for him, turned this once flourishing man into a ruin. He soon died.
History of the day
October 24, 1939 not far from the tram stop "Copper Mine" at Uralmash, three cadets of the Sverdlovsk school of worker-peasant police were freezing at the post: Popov, Krylov and Angelov.
And then they noticed a tall, thin guy who got off the tram with a child in his arms and moved towards the forest. The cadets showed vigilance, and went after him. Gradually went deeper into the thickets, but the tracks led further and further. And finally, they saw the guy they were following. He held the child by the throat and apparently strangled. The little boy lay undressed on a fur board spread under him and, it seems, no longer showed signs of life. But the cadets were able to save him and detain the villain.
Even the worldly-wise criminal investigation operatives were surprised when they found out who the maniac and murderer turned out to be, whom they had searched for a year and a half to no avail. And any normal person, at the sight of a 15-year-old student of the 7th grade, repeater and loser Vladimir Vanchevsky, could hardly have thought that this is a beast in human form. However, the facts convinced that this was the case. The student confessed to 8 murders and 10 attempts. It turned out that he was pathologically afraid of the screams of the victims, and therefore in more than half of the cases he left them tied up and ran away.
And yet he left a very impressive trail of blood. The youngest of his victims was one and a half years old, the oldest - 6. The last child he abducted - Slavik Zaitsev, with whom he was detained in the forest, was only 3 years old.
The maniac acted according to the classical scheme: he started a conversation with the baby, for example, under the pretext that he was looking for a restroom, then, promising ice cream or candy, he lured him to a secluded place and dealt with it.
Vanchevsky's parents were horrified by what their child had done, and therefore they took the statement to the Uralsky Rabochiy newspaper: “We, the parents, renounce such a son and demand that the highest measure be applied to him - execution. There can be no life for such geeks in a Soviet family. November 1, 39 12 noon.
However, the death penalty was applied to Volodya Vanchevsky even without the request of his parents. On January 16, 1940, the court sentenced him to death.
Tragedy of the day
October 24, 1960 the most terrible catastrophe associated with space rockets occurred: at the Baikonur Cosmodrome (Kazakhstan), the R-16 rocket exploded while loading fuel. The explosion claimed the lives of 91 people.
This tragedy was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
Execution of the day
From February 1942 until the end of World War II, he served as Minister-President of occupied Norway. After the war, Quisling was executed on charges of treason. The surname Quisling has become a symbol of betrayal in Norway.
Shortly before his execution, Vidkun compiled his family tree, in which he built his family tree to the god Odin himself. Only now it is unlikely that he went to Valhalla.
Killing of the day
Ukrainian Soviet writer Yaroslav Galan was killed October 24, 1949 in his office in an apartment on Gvardeyskaya Street in Lviv by Ukrainian nationalists Mykhailo Stakhur and Ilariy Lukachevych, associated with the OUN. They struck him 11 blows with an axe.
The reason for the massacre was the difficult relationship of the writer with the Catholic Church. First, Pope Pius XII excommunicated Galan from the church, and in retaliation he published the anti-clerical satire “I Spit on the Pope!”.
The nationalists decided to stand up for the pope and killed Galan. The NKVD stood up for the writer by stepping up the fight against the underground nationalist Ukrainian Insurgent Army.
Legend of the day
October 24, 1958 recidivist Senka Likhoy lost at cards to the famous singer and artist Mark Bernes. He undertook to kill him, for which he went to Moscow.
 |
The reason that the life of the famous singer turned out to be a stake in the card game lesson was because they resented him. In the film Night Patrol, Bernes played Pavel Obruchev, a former bear cub and an authoritative thief who emigrated from the USSR, but, tortured by nostalgia for his homeland, returned and surrendered to police commissioner Ivan Krechetov. At the same time, the artist’s talent turned out to be so great that the criminals took the movie for reality, and Bernes for a real “tied up thief”. The criminal world was outraged to the core that Bernes from the screen promotes a departure from crime and stigmatizes his criminal past and the thieves' environment. They propagandized for years, and he propagandized at once, introducing unnecessary doubts into the fragile souls of young thieves. Four former convicts, pouting at cards at the railway station in Kotlas, put Bernes' life on the line. Senka Likhoy lost and had to decide the artist before November 1. Fortunately, an admirer of the actor's talent turned out to be a witness of this game. Who reported this to his friend in Moscow. One can imagine the surprise of Mark Bernes when an unfamiliar citizen showed up at his house and announced from the threshold that the owner of the apartment was in danger of death from a bandit's knife.
In the morning, Bernes went to an appointment with the head of the MUR, I. Parfentiev, and reported on the impending assassination attempt. From October 26 to November 1, guards were assigned to Bernes and his five-year-old daughter Natasha. The artist limited his exits from the house, and coordinated all visits and routes with security.
But the attempt did not take place. According to one version, Dashing was banally frightened and shied away from fulfilling his gambling debt. But another one looks more beautiful: during the arrest at the station, Senka Likhoy, who arrived in the capital, resisted the operatives and was shot dead.
GRU Special Forces Day is traditionally celebrated on October 24 of each year. This date is connected with the history of the emergence of the Main Intelligence Directorate, but we will talk about this a little later. On the day of the GRU special forces, military units arrange demonstration performances and the news of the GRU special forces are broadcast throughout the country.
History of the GRU special forces
For a long time, everything that had at least some relation to the special forces was carefully hidden. However, today the news of the GRU special forces are broadcast on military channels. Professional fighters and veterans of the GRU special forces of Russia constantly improved their martial arts skills, and they even managed to revive the basics of hand-to-hand combat of the ancient Slavs. Today, Russian GRU special forces soldiers can cope with several opponents at once.
Also, the special forces of the GRU of Russia mastered the techniques of owning any kind of edged weapons. On the day of the GRU special forces, many scientists and researchers in the field of military art invite GRU special forces officers to participate in experiments. A fighter or officer of the GRU special forces must, by an effort of will, change the electrical conductivity of water. The fact is that scientists are sure that a trained person can use the hidden reserves of the brain, and at the moment of awakening this additional force, the electrical conductivity of the liquid changes.
As you can see for yourself, in , the fighters of the reconnaissance squad do not beat bottles on their heads and do not bathe in fountains. Basically, they are engaged in demonstration performances and, of course, on this day, the entire special forces of the GRU of the Russian Federation accept congratulations from their relatives. Today, everyone is wondering what the GRU special forces of 2013 will prepare - after all, it is very interesting to watch how these fighters famously crack down on enemies and show interesting hand-to-hand combat techniques. We are confident that the GRU 2013 special forces will show a lot of new things, and the command will report on the successes and achievements of the intelligence department troops.
Military Intelligence 2012 is professionally trained Special Forces soldiers, daring and sudden, fast and fearless soldiers who are well versed in extreme combat conditions. Military intelligence in 2012 showed excellent results, and we are sure that this year we will have good news regarding . It is worth noting that the main task of the GRU is to conduct anti-terrorist operations, and for this reason, even on their holiday, they defend our Motherland. Therefore, on the day of the GRU special forces, be sure to congratulate all the veterans of the military intelligence of Russia you know.
By the way, with us you can also, similar to those used by special forces in their work.
The modern one is a complex of units that are engaged in the detention of especially dangerous criminals associated with terrorism. Even on their holiday, they can be busy in operations to eliminate criminal groups or free hostages. Russian military intelligence is constantly awake and the GRU special forces are always ready to go anywhere in the country. However, they have days off and the authorities very often organize entertainment events so that residents of Russian cities can congratulate representatives of the intelligence of the GRU special forces.
Traditionally, various funny and funny contests that promote an atmosphere of joy and positive competition. It is this joyful atmosphere that makes the holiday of intelligence of the GRU special forces so fun. As we have already mentioned, in addition to various competitions, representatives of the military intelligence of the Russian Federation organize demonstration performances, where trained fighters demonstrate their combat skills. In fact, he does not like to reveal his secrets, but on the special forces holiday he always pleases the audience with an exciting performance.
The Russian GRU Spetsnaz, in particular the GRU Spetsnaz Moscow, consider it their duty to protect the citizens of Russia day and night, and they try to make people believe in their ability to conduct anti-terrorist operations. Only the most courageous and resolute fighters who are ready to serve the Motherland to the last drop of blood enter the Russian GRU special forces. Today, the military intelligence of the GRU special forces is an executive body and a militarized formal social non-profit entity that provides defense and intelligence services. However, all data regarding the military intelligence of the GRU special forces are a state secret.
On October 24, be sure to congratulate all your friends who were related to the 2012 GRU special forces. Despite the fact that all the details of their actions are not disclosed to anyone, the GRU special forces of 2012 risked their lives every day, protecting the interests of the citizens of the Russian Federation. It should be noted that in the GRU, priority is given to work on obtaining secret data and foreign samples of modern equipment, but, as we have already noted, special forces soldiers are constantly fighting terrorism. We invite you to watch a video on the topic. Perhaps this will be the impetus to serve in these valiant troops. So, GRU special forces in action:
Photos of the GRU special forces reflect the everyday life of fighters of special units of the Russian Federation. Only the best of the best serve in the ranks of special forces. We offer to look at the photo of the GRU special forces and feel the atmosphere of strength and courage:
Combat and training everyday life of fighters of special forces of the GRU General Staff
The workdays of the GRU special forces are not easy and the fighters go on missions and operations of the GRU special forces every day. We propose to talk about individual events in the history of modern special forces, as well as list some of the detachments and main operations of the GRU special forces.
One of the largest conflicts in modern history with the participation of special forces was the war in Chechnya and the assault on Grozny. In the first period of the Chechen war, a fierce battle broke out for the capital of Chechnya, and in the course of the battles, the GRU special forces played an important role. During the assault on Grozny, federal forces deployed 250 armored vehicles, which attacked from four sides. The battle lasted about 2 months and ended with the victory of the Russian troops. Today, the video of the assault on Grozny once again reminds us of the horrors of war. The details of the events of that battle are known to many, when on December 22, 1994, the shelling of Grozny began. Two days later, the attackers found out that the Russian population had not yet left the city and many civilians had died as a result of the shelling. The video of the storming of Grozny can tell about the horrific events that caused the death of the Russians only because they did not expect the shelling to begin without warning.
The war in the unrecognized Chechen Republic of Ichkeria brought a lot of trouble, but the GRU special forces in Chechnya tried their best to get by with fewer victims. Military intelligence in Chechnya reported that in light of the horrific events in the Caucasus, when criminals carried out "ethnic cleansing" among the non-Chechen population, urgent measures must be taken. Therefore, military intelligence in Chechnya decided to act and filed a petition for the start of hostilities.
However, unfortunately, after the numerous successes of the GRU special forces in Chechnya, the troops were withdrawn from the combat zone. results military Chechnya there were numerous victims, massive destruction and the independence of Chechnya before the Second Chechen War. Today, many are wondering about the causes of the conflict. As history says, the birth of military Chechnya has a nationalist basis.
Apparently, not everyone has yet learned the lessons of the Second World War, when nationalism led to the death of 27 million people in the USSR alone. The GRU special forces in the war in Chechnya could not but react to the criminal actions of the National Congress of the Chechen People. On June 8, 1991, Dzhakhar Dudayev proclaimed the independence of Chechnya, and dual power appeared in the republic. During the "August coup" militants seized the building Supreme Council and threw chairman Vitaly Kutsenko out of the window.
As you understand, the GRU special forces in the war in Chechnya acted in the interests of the Russian people and did not want to stand aside, while the war against the multinational people flared up. Today, in the vastness of the global network, various videos of the GRU special forces in Chechnya are presented. You can see how real masters of their craft work, who are ready to fight for the interests of the Russian people. We invite you to watch the video "Military Intelligence Chechnya". The video of the GRU special forces in Chechnya is a clear demonstration of the strength and power of the Russian army.
And now we propose to talk about the various brigades of the GRU special forces, which are located in many cities of Russia.

Such units consisted of reconnaissance companies, separate platoons at the battalion headquarters, and also had an engineer company, a fire support company, and a motor transport company.
- The Berdskaya brigade of the GRU special forces was created in September 1961 and in 1970 was relocated to Berdsk. Servicemen in the Berdsk brigade of the GRU special forces were preparing to carry out reconnaissance and sabotage operations deep behind enemy lines. To implement the operation plan, soldiers were thrown by planes and helicopters with parachutes into enemy territory. In the Berdsk brigade of the GRU special forces, a one-of-a-kind company was formed, which consisted only of ensigns and officers. Soldiers of the Berdsk brigade of the GRU special forces participated in the First and Second Chechen Wars. In 2009, the unit was disbanded, but today the authorities promise that they will soon restore the brigade.
- Spetsnaz GRU Rostov or 22 separate brigade of special purpose was formed in 1976. The special forces of the GRU of Rostov are known for the fact that during the Chechen war they destroyed more than 5,000 spooks. Losses in the war in Afghanistan amounted to 191 people.

During the second Chechen war, a special forces detachment of the GRU of Irkutsk performed reconnaissance tasks from September 5 to December 26, 2000. 49 militants were destroyed, but during one of the operations 3 people were killed.
In fact, there are a lot of special forces units in other cities of Russia. The special forces of the GRU of Novosibirsk are constantly preparing fighters for the intelligence department, improving their combat skills. Special Forces GRU Novosibirsk is always ready to help the citizens of Russia.
It's no secret that the Main Intelligence Directorate is located in Moscow. Therefore, the level of GRU special forces in Moscow is very high. GRU special forces in Moscow are constantly busy improving their skills and often participate in conflict resolution operations in the capital. Despite the fact that the war has long ended, the GRU special forces in Moscow are fighting against popular unrest and disperse unauthorized rallies.
The GRU Senezh special forces also stand guard over order and train daily to provide combat resistance. Like all other units, the GRU Senezh special forces are engaged in anti-terrorist activities and intelligence.
The special forces of the GRU of Solnechnogorsk perform reconnaissance tasks and are always ready to leave at the first call. It is worth noting that the GRU training center is located in Solnechnogorsk, where the younger generation of fighters is being trained. Behind the special forces of the GRU of Solnechnogorsk, the future of the special forces.
Speaking about the GRU special forces, one cannot but mention the Vostok battalion, which consisted of a battalion of the 291st motorized rifle regiment of the 42nd guards motorized rifle division of the Russian Ministry of Defense. At the moment, the Vostok battalion has been disbanded. Most of the fighters of the Vostok battalion were Chechens. Until May 2008 they were headed by Sulim Yamadayev. Units of this battalion participated in the war in South Ossetia. The Vostok battalion in Ossetia was part of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian army.
During the combat conflict in the combat zone, two people of the Vostok battalion in Ossetia were wounded. Note that Yamadayev's special forces took part in the liberation of Tskhinvali on August 9. Also, the Vostok Battalion in Georgia took a direct part in the march to Gori on August 13. As for the actions of the battalion in Georgia, the fighters of the "East" played an important role in the process of "knocking out" the aggressor from Tskhinvali. Battalion "Vostok" in Georgia acted on the orders of the commander of the North Caucasian district. Within an hour, the fighters were transferred to Khankala, and after August 9 they were in Tskhinvali. Fortunately, the Vostok battalion in Georgia was well acquainted with the situation, and after a year and a half they felt at home there. The fighters cleared the city of snipers and scattered groups, and also freed the civilian population. The Georgian fighters were not ready for a fight, and the enemy lost his balance. Thus, the Vostok battalion won in Georgia.
In addition to the Vostok battalion, the Russian Federation had the West battalion at its disposal, which also performed various tasks to detect enemy troops. In addition to reconnaissance operations, the militants of the West Battalion fought terrorists.
One of the most tragic terrorist attacks that the GRU special forces had to deal with was the terrorist attack in Budyonnovsk. As a result of a ruthless attack by Chechen terrorists on the Russian city of Budyonnovsk in 1995, hostages were taken. During the terrorist attack in Budyonnovsk, 1600 people were kept in the hospital. The hostages of Budyonnovsk were left alive, and those who did not want to go were shot. The local police resisted the terrorists, but almost all law enforcement officers were killed. As a result of the assault on the GRU special forces, 61 Budyonnovsk hostages were released. After negotiations, the terrorists released the hostages, and Russian authorities agreed to cease hostilities in Chechnya and withdrew troops. During the attack, 129 people were killed and 415 were injured.
And now we propose to turn to the history of the GRU special forces. In 1918, the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic approved the staff of the RVSR field headquarters, which included the so-called registration department. His tasks included coordinating the efforts of the intelligence agencies of the military undercover intelligence. It is from 1918 that the history of the GRU special forces begins. November 5, 1918 is considered the birthday of Soviet military intelligence. Further, in 1921, in order to create a unified command and control body for the armed forces of the USSR, the RVSR Field Headquarters merged with the RKKV, and the registration department became part of the new governing body.
In April 1921, the Registration Department was transformed into the Intelligence Directorate and the department of Soviet military intelligence was included there. For the period from 1921 to 1925, the Intelligence Directorate carried out thorough research, and organized partisan detachments. In 1940, the history of military intelligence observes the formation of the Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Red Army. And in 1924, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff was created and a new stage in the history of military intelligence began. During the war years, the special forces of the GRU of the USSR were engaged not only in reconnaissance and sabotage activities. In some cases, special forces soldiers were called in to quell riots on the streets of the city.
The special forces of the GRU of the USSR were also engaged in the capture of spies - the fighters arrested especially dangerous spies. Then the military intelligence of the USSR was in its heyday, and the soldiers of the Red Army were looking everywhere for spies and traitors. In June 1945, the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR was merged with the RU of the General Staff, and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Red Army was formed, which was engaged in military intelligence of the USSR. During the war, a lot of heroes and veterans of the military intelligence of the USSR appeared. If you have acquaintances of military intelligence veterans, then be sure to congratulate them on the holiday of the day of the GRU special forces.
And now we would like to talk about the GRU special forces combat system, which was designed specifically to withstand several opponents at the same time. Note that today the basic combat technique of the GRU special forces is not kept secret, and anyone can master it if they make enough effort. You ask, why do you need to study the combat system of the GRU special forces?
Today modern man you just need to learn hand-to-hand combat skills in order to defend yourself from criminals and ill-wishers. The GRU spetsnaz combat system is much more effective than other techniques or martial arts because it has no rules. Today, most martial arts have acquired a "sporty color" and such techniques can only be used in sports competitions. Hand-to-hand combat of the GRU special forces is applicable in real life and moreover, it will allow you to effectively deal with those who practice boxing or judo.
Hand-to-hand combat of the GRU special forces and the GRU combat system combined the qualities of many combat systems. Such a combat system combines elements of shock and wrestling techniques. The modern training of the GRU special forces has reached a new level, and you can not be afraid for your health and calmly walk to your home in a gold chain. The GRU special forces training program includes the study of human anatomy, namely the knowledge of special points and methods of striking them. The techniques of the GRU special forces are so effective that they will help to stop, paralyze or “knock out” a person.
Today, in Russia, few people know about the methods of the GRU special forces because for a long time the GRU special forces combat technique was kept secret. However, over time, basic knowledge about the combat technique of the GRU special forces began to "swim up" to the masses. Thanks to the hand-to-hand combat techniques of the GRU special forces, even an ordinary person can defend himself from an attack on the street and even confront several opponents at the same time.
However, one must always remember the responsibility for the consequences and use the methods of hand-to-hand combat of the GRU special forces only with full awareness of the infliction of possible injuries. The tactics of combat of the GRU special forces are used in the course of operations to free hostages or to capture terrorists. The fighters of the Main Intelligence Directorate work quickly and efficiently, and you can learn this technique either from a professional or in the ranks of the GRU troops. The tactics of combat of the GRU special forces take into account the possible actions of the enemy, and the training course for fighters also includes training in knife combat for the GRU special forces. After all, today everyone can buy edged weapons and the knife fighting technique of the GRU special forces will come in handy both on the battlefield and in real life. Knife fighting of the GRU special forces is a special technique.
To date, special operations of the GRU special forces are carried out constantly. Unfortunately, we live in a turbulent time, and special operations of the GRU special forces help keep peace on the streets of Russian cities. However, the tactics of the GRU special forces have been worked out to the smallest detail, and exercises are constantly conducted in units. GRU spetsnaz tactics work against both terrorists and common criminals. There are frequent cases when GRU special forces equipment is used, for example, during the storming of a building. During the years of the Chechen war, the equipment of the GRU special forces was used in the process of storming Grozny.
Now we propose to pay attention to the weapons of the GRU special forces, which are used in practice in the course of a special operation. As we have already said, GRU fighters are engaged not only in intelligence, but also in anti-terrorist activities. Therefore, the high-quality weapons of the GRU special forces are more relevant than ever in the process of special operations:
- The SVD or Dragunov sniper rifle is a sniper's best friend. SVD was developed back in 1963 and has not lost its relevance to this day. SVD is a self-loading weapon and automation is based on the use of the energy of powder gases, which are discharged from the bore to the gas piston. The optimal rifling pitch for precise SVD combat is 320 mm. This allows you to hit a running figure at a distance of 800 meters.
- Ak 74 or Kalashnikov assault rifle with a caliber of 5.45 mm was developed in 1970 and adopted by the USSR in 1974. Despite the fact that the machine was invented more than 40 years ago, the AK 74 is still a relevant weapon in the fight against militants and terrorists. Of course, it has undergone some changes, for example, the modern AK 74 uses a low-impulse cartridge. The new cartridge has a flatter trajectory and this allowed to increase the firing range by 100 meters. The mass of the AK 74 was reduced by the use of plastic in the production process of the magazine.
- AKM is a modernized version of the Kalashnikov assault rifle, which was in service with the USSR in 1959. In the new AKM, the aiming range was increased, the weight of the machine gun was reduced due to the use of a stamped receiver, and a trigger retarder was added, which increased the accuracy of the battle. The AKM is equipped with a short bayonet that can be used to cut through barbed wire. The AKM combat range for a running figure is 525 meters.
- VSS Vintorez or 9mm sniper rifle developed according to the Vintorez system. VVS "Vintorez" is a silent sniper rifle that was created in the early 1980s. The rifle was intended for special forces. The first use of the Vintorez Air Force took place in the First Chechen War, when the special forces decided to use a rifle against militants. They could not understand where they were shooting from, and these rifles annoyed the enemy very much. Air Force "Vintorez" is great for fighting in the city, and the commanders characterize it as an ideal weapon for the GRU special forces.
- The 7.62 caliber Kalashnikov machine gun was developed by Kalashnikov and the weapon immediately entered service with the USSR in 1961. The Kalashnikov machine gun can be mounted on a tripod or on an armored personnel carrier. The tripod version of the Kalashnikov machine gun greatly improves the quality of firing from a trench. In 1969, PKM was released, which had a smaller mass.
- The PB pistol is an excellent option for arming army intelligence groups and Russian KGB personnel. It was put into service in 1967. The PB pistol is equipped with an integrated silencer. Subsequently, a special system was developed that made it possible to store the PB pistol with the silencer removed, but at the right time, the fighter could quickly screw it back on. With a silencer, the shooter with the PB pistol can be heard within a radius of 50 meters. The pistol has a good balance and is distinguished by service strength and durability.
- AS Val is a silent machine that was developed in the second half of the 1980s along with a screw cutter. The AS Val submachine gun is designed for special forces. The weapon uses 9mm subsonic cartridges. A sniper cartridge bullet pierces class 2 bulletproof vest and 100 mm steel sheet. At a distance of aimed fire, the AS Val submachine gun can hit an enemy who has taken cover. AS Val is equipped with night sights that can recognize the enemy at a distance of up to 300 meters.
- Flamethrower "Bumblebee" - reactive infantry flamethrower for single use. The flamethrower "Bumblebee" is not subject to reloading and is a rocket projectile, which is filled with a fire mixture. The main purpose of the Shmel flamethrower is to defeat a hidden enemy and disable lightly armored vehicles. The aiming range of the flamethrower is 20 meters. In terms of damage level, it is not inferior to artillery shells, and one charge of the Bumblebee flamethrower destroys all life within a radius of 80 square meters.
- The APB pistol is a silent automatic model that was developed in 1970 and put into service in 1972 as the main weapon of the GRU special forces. This pistol model was successfully used in the ranks of the Soviet troops. Soviet military intelligence also used it. Note that the APB pistol has a low mass and is equipped with a silencer with a relatively weak cartridge. However, the APB pistol is capable of firing short bursts with high accuracy and accuracy. The sound of the shot is quieter than a regular pistol, however, it is better to use a silencer for silent fire mode. Note that the silencer makes it difficult to find the shooter, but is not able to completely hide the fact of the shot.
- NRS-1 - is it possible to imagine a GRU special forces agent without a shooting knife? This GRU special forces knife is great for covert special operations due to its secret mechanism. The development of the NRS-1 began in the 1970s. The first model outwardly resembled an ordinary GRU special forces knife, but the NRS-1 is capable of hitting the enemy with a silent shot at a distance of 25 meters. Thus, the commando has an advantage in the form of a surprise effect. The HPC-1 knife pierces a 2mm steel plate.
As you can see for yourself, the weapons of the GRU spetsnaz are diverse and the equipment of the GRU spetsnaz depends on the specific operation. Basically, the commando uses silent weapon special forces of the GRU, and the equipment of the special forces of the GRU also depends on the combat mission. The equipment of the GRU special forces can be completely different and modern special forces most often use the equipment of the GRU special forces, which has a small mass.
Now a few words about the symbolism of the GRU special forces, which has always been the pride of any soldier who serves in a special forces unit. The symbolism of the GRU special forces is the image of the idea of \u200b\u200bthe unit and the unofficial symbol of military intelligence - a bat, which symbolizes secrecy. The official symbols of military intelligence are the emblem, flag and badge of the GRU special forces.
In fact, the symbolism of military intelligence is a rather broad concept and this is due to the fact that different brigades have differences in the symbolism of military intelligence. However, there are common symbols, such as the emblem of military intelligence, which is large, medium and small. The large emblem of military intelligence is a five-pointed red star in the shape of a cornflower, which is framed in a white pattern. The average emblem of the GRU special forces is the same five-pointed "cornflower" on a black background in the shape of a shield. The small emblem of the GRU special forces is a five-pointed "cornflower" on a white background.
The symbolism of military intelligence is very diverse. Next, we move on to the military intelligence badge and, as we said, it is represented by the image of a bat on a blue background. The military intelligence badge is more popular than the flag of the GRU spetsnaz and its image is very often drawn on various products that are associated with spetsnaz. The sign of the GRU special forces can be seen on all kinds of flasks, T-shirts and other items of clothing. Also, the sign of the GRU special forces is depicted on most awards for special forces. The flag of the GRU special forces is a blue panel with a black bat on a white circle.
Such a military intelligence flag is very common and the military intelligence flag is very often raised in special forces. Also, every soldier of the special forces considers it his duty to learn the anthem of the GRU special forces. Learning the anthem of the GRU special forces is very important for raising morale and fighting mood. GRU special forces songs are also very popular at GRU special forces day celebrations and such GRU special forces songs are most often performed on acoustic guitar. The motto of the GRU spetsnaz can be completely different for each unit, but the most popular motto of the GRU spetsnaz is the statement: "If not us, then who?"
