The special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was founded on August 29, 1957. It was then that five separate units appeared, which were subordinate to the commander of groups of forces and military districts.

And the best fighters are preparing an excellent program, during which they demonstrate their professional skills (fight with the enemy, breaking bricks, etc.). In this article we will briefly tell you about the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. So let's get started.
The form
The special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs includes several units, each of which has its own form. The costumes of the fighters differ depending on the tasks they perform. Particularly different in comparison is the form of commandos using camouflage weapons. Sometimes it happens that soldiers sew clothes to order. Shoes fighters wear only the most durable and comfortable - berets. Headdress - beret (gray or speckled). Special forces equipment - classic white or green camouflage with black spots. Patches (chevrons) and badges are purchased separately, although at the moment some military units give them out for free. Most often, chevrons are round in shape with a special forces emblem. Very often, patches are purchased for demobilization. At the same time, according to the special forces tradition, the chevron is stitched with white thread. Due to increased training, the form wears out very quickly. Because of this, soldiers also have to change it often.

At present, the army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (special forces) is very well prepared for sabotage and reconnaissance operations. Therefore, most of the weapons of this unit are designed for reconnaissance and secret penetration of enemy territory. Very often, fighters use silent weapons and indirect fire weapons that allow them to shoot, hiding around the corner. Another popular group of guns is high-precision sniper rifles. They are designed to defeat the enemy from a distance of 1.5 km. For a special forces soldier, it is very important to hit the enemy with one shot, so such rifles are in the arsenal of most units. The modern army uses rifled large-caliber weapons used to destroy military equipment and vehicles. Also, certain companies of special forces supply weapons for underwater shooting.
