On October 24, Russia’s Spetsnaz marked its professional day.
Spetsnaz units are deployed to implement especially important tasks beyond the capabilities of other branches of the military. For example, it was Spetsnaz that played a key role in crushing Daesh near Palmyra alongside reinforcements from the air.
