The Special Forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the USSR (Spetsnaz GRU) was an elite troops under the command of the military intelligence service. It was the first Soviet (and later – Russian special forces troops, more than two decades older than its KGB (now FSB) and MVD clones.

Within a year, 46 separate Spetznaz companies (120 people in each) were created in all military districts.

Spetsnaz GRU

The groups of scouts were to appear nearby the command posts and other strategic objects of the enemy’s armed forces. Their tasks included conduction of reconnaissance, command control violation, neutralization of the enemy’s commanders, their air force and navy, killing their political leaders, destruction of command posts, missile launchers, aircrafts of strategic aviation, nuclear submarines, disruption of communications, energy supply systems, destruction of transport communications, spread of panic and chaos to military and public authorities of the aggressor-countries.

    Kizlyar Stervets is a pronounced throwing knife. Its bold and aggressive appearance immediately attracts attention due to its brutal beauty.

    Athletic design, black coating and excellent balance (the center of gravity is moved closer to the tip) creates the impression that the blade can hit the target in any throw, from any position.

    Its double-edged blade is shaped like a spear. The steel frame is cord-wound near the handle. If necessary, the cord can be removed for replacement or cleaning.

    “Taran” is a Russian word meaning “battering ram” – an ancient weapon used during a city siege.

    The Taran Kizlyar Knife’s design refers to the “Finka” – the knife of Scandinavian ice fishermen who needed a tough, but narrow blade in order to easily stab the catch into its brain for quicker kill.

    The concave sharpening of the blade with high razor-type slopes helps to achieve a special thinness and sharpness of the cut.

    The fairly long blade of the knife is good for cutting up fish, and the Elastron-G handle increases the grip well.

    Strazh (Guard) is the knife designed and originally made under the order of the Russian FSB (former KGB). And it is still widely used – mostly as a back up weapon – by the undercover field officers.

    The knife, being rather small, is extremely tough and practical.

    The shape of its blade is a mixture of a small utility knife and a double-edge dagger with serration on the spine edge.

    The slightly oversized guard provides comfortable protection and safe grip.
