Hi everyone!
Today I'd like to show you the 22 SPN Afghan legendary outfit for Caliber, tactical shooter from 1CGS.
This guy is an alternate models of the operators are meant to represent the members of the special forces in the Soviet army.
In October 1950, due to the worsening risk of a global nuclear conflict, the Minister of the Armed Forces of the USSR Marshal Alexandr Vasilevsky signed a decree to create a unit of military intelligence forces which would be placed under the GRU’s direct command. This unit was the precursor to the 22nd Separate Guards Special Purpose Brigade.
The main task of the GRU’s special intelligence unit was preparing for military action in case of another World War. Should a global conflict have erupted, the intelligence officers were supposed to go behind enemy lines and start “hunting” the tactical nuclear weapon systems. In addition, their tasks included sabotaging communications and other objects of infrastructure, observing enemy forces, performing reconnaissance through any available means, including capturing people possessing valuable data.
After the Limited Contingent of Soviet Forces has entered the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, the 22nd Brigade took active participation in the conflict. The special forces unit had six provinces in its area of responsibility: Farah, Nimruz, Helmand, Kandahar, Zabul, Uruzgan.
