    The KSSO: Russia's Special Operations Command

The Special Operations Forces Command has established itself as Russia’s foremost special forces division. Known also as the “polite people”, Russian Special Forces or the KSSO and it rivals many tier-1 western special forces.

1. History of the KSSO

Special forces can come from a variety of national motivations and military needs. For some, it comes out of necessity to meet changing demands of combat, for others a specific event triggers the need to develop such a task force. Russia already had a number of special forces groups when the KSSO was formed. The Spetsnaz, a remnant organization from the Soviet era, filled many of the gaps in the new Russian Federation's special forces needs. The Russian military, Federal Security Service and the Ministry of the Interior all have Spetsnaz units assigned to them. 

Despite themselves being special forces on paper, they did not serve the same purpose that most Western special forces groups did.

    Super-terrorism: A Security Outlook

Super-terrorism is the utilisation of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) material for calculated, unlawful attacks against civilians and infrastructure for political aims. As global terrorist violence grows again, concerns about violent extremist organisations (VEOs) acquiring such CBRN material also rise. A “super-terrorist” attack results in casualties above and beyond any comparable terrorist attack. It would also cause wide-scale ecological, political, and infrastructural damage.

1. Threat Assessment

The use of the term super-terrorism originates from the administration of United States President Bill Clinton between 1993 and 2001 . However, studies show that the use of CBRN in terror attacks occurred as far back as the 1970s. These attacks made up 0.3% of all terrorist attacks in decades since . As a result, super-terrorist attacks are a “high-risk, low frequency” contingency to plan for.

    FSB Alpha Group: Russia's Elite A Team

1.0 Introduction

Alpha Group is a Russian special forces unit which is part of the Russian Federal Security Service’s (FSB) Special Purpose Center. It is one of Russia’s most well-equipped, combat-capable and secretive units. Naturally, this has led to the unit’s use in operations deemed of utmost importance to the Russian state.

2.0 Motto, Emblem And Patches

The FSB’s Alpha Group utilises unique mottos, emblems and patches to stand out from other Russian units. They include the following:

2.1 Motto 

The motto of the FSB Alpha Group is probably ‘To win and return!’ written as ‘Победить и вернуться!’ in Russian. However, some Russian sources also indicate its motto to be ‘Победить и выжить, чтобы победить вновь’. This translates to ‘To win and return, to win again’ in English. (source) (source)

2.2 Emblem

FSB Alpha Group’s emblem unit patch is unique but shares some similarities to other Russian internal security units.
