The peak of their power was during the Soviet-Afghan War, when GRU had 14 special-purpose brigades with personnel exceeding 10,000. It’s worth noting that GRU brigades are roughly analogous to U.S. Army Special Operations Groups. During the conflict, their main objectives were sabotage, ambushes, raids, and adjusting artillery or airstrikes behind enemy lines. All 14 brigades were under the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and executed these missions with high combat effectiveness and readiness. Like all SF units, selection was strict — only young men (under 27) with prior military experience were accepted.
