The Russian Army and the Special Operations Forces (SSO) have recently held several exercises in various regions, including in Central Asian countries.
The newly-released staged video shows how Russian special forces are preparing for combat operations in desert and semi-desert areas. It’s nothing new that the Russians have been studying the successful operations of other forces in similar conditions, including mobile raids, ambushes, rearguard covers, enveloping attacks, carried out by different militant groups like ISIS in the Middle East and Africa, the Taliban in Afghanistan, the French Foreign Legion, the Turkish Army, IRGC forces.
The footage of use of very light cheap vehicles by the Russian spetsnaz to rapidly deliver soldiers to desert, semi-desert combat areas deserves special attention.
