The war in Ukraine has gutted Moscow’s clandestine spetsnaz forces, and it will take Moscow years to rebuild them, putin ordered them into direct

one for sure, Moscow (juchi project ) fights its last colonial war ....

Typically, spetsnaz personnel are assigned the sorts of stealthy, high-risk missions — including an apparent order to capture Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky — for which they receive some of the moscow military’s most advanced training. But when Moscow launched its full-scale invasion last year, senior commanders eager to seize momentum and skeptical of their conventional fighters’ prowess deviated from the norm, ordering elite forces into direct combat, according to U.S. intelligence findings and independent analysts who have closely followed spetsnaz deployments.

Russias military will take a decade to rebuild.
It is unlikely that sanctions will be lifted and they will lose access to high tech parts

They relied on East Germany for their elite units; when they lost East Germany their 'Elite' units were just drawn from the usual available mob of vicious drunks and thugs. They are only 'elite' relative to other Russian units because they get first pick of equipment and a bigger budget.

Strange how Russia has obliterated the Ukey Nazis and depleted the US and EU of almost all their reserves .

Nice Propaganda ……but nobody is buying it

Don’t you think it is about time to tell Putin he needs to admit his invasion was a mistake and he needs to cut his losses?

There is no path to victory for Russia and continued fighting will only deplete Russian forces.
Continued fighting will only lead to the collapse of Russia due to another Revolution

No 'internet' until the late 1980's, so nothing 'current'. You want to know the origins of the Spetsnatz try the Axis History Forum. They have entire threads on them I'm guessing, complete with Russian sources as well. The post-Soviet units of course have no Germans.
