OZNAZ

Almost everybody has heard of the Russian GRU SF - Spetznaz, but has anobody ever heard about the KGB's SF - the Oznaz?

I read somewhere (I think 'Spetznaz' by Viktor Sukorov) that they were the specialist troops that spearheaded the invasion of Afghanistan by assinating the President, capturing the Presidential Palace and comms building, they talked down An (?) Cubs - Herc lookalike - which in turn conducted a TALO and captured the main airbase at Kabul.

Apart from that, there does not seen to be any mention of Oznaz. So, my friends, do they still exist within the secret corridoors of the new secret police or have they been disbanded?

uhhh.... never heard ov the Oznaz... but hey if their russian then no wonder that they did all those jobs in Afghanistan... cheers!

i found some stuff on the Osnaz
The known KGB OSNAZ units were as as follows:

-Alpha Group or Spetsgruppe A - formed in 1974 in the Seventh Chief Directorate
-Beta Group or Spetsgruppe B- also formed in the Seventh Chief Directorate, time unknown
-Vympel or Pennant - formed in 1981 in the First Chief Directorate as a "diversionary" unit and reached 500 personnel by 1989.
-Kaskad or Cascade - formed in the 8th Directorate, time unknown
-Grom or Thunder - VIP/VVIP Protection Unit
-Delfin or Dolphin - a combat diver "incursion" unit similar to the U.S. Navy SEALs.
It is known that several have survived the fall of the Soviet Government and still exist, with the Alpha Group being the most famous or infamous, depending on point of view.
