it starts with 20k-100k . . will these numbers grow?
but I agree, it will take much more than that!! such as anti-gun laws

Spetsnaz carry out reconnaissance and "special warfare" missions in peacetime as well as in war.[citation needed] The primary function of Spetsnaz troops in wartime is infiltration/insertion behind enemy lines (either in uniform or civilian clothing), usually well before hostilities are scheduled to begin and, once in place, to commit acts of sabotage (such as the destruction of vital NATO communications logistics centers)[citation needed] and the assassination of key government leaders and military officers.[citation needed] According to Vladimir Rezun, a GRU defector who used the pseudonym "Viktor Suvorov", there were 20 Spetsnaz brigades plus 41 separate companies at the time of his defection in 1978. Thus, the total strength of Spetsnaz forces was around 30,000 troops at the time. Currently, their numbers are classified.
