I just got SOF and it had this

22 people in a unit
Fire support
Three PKMs
Two SVDs
Four RPKs
2 RPG-2s


Standard Rifle aks-74

SIX people had a GP-25 grenade launcher

Two 7.62X39 Suppressed AKMs because there was not 5.45X39 sub sonic ammo yet

450 rounds per man and most had 600

Snipers 150 rds of 7.62X54

Spare mags for the SVD were extremely hard to come by 5 were issued

They guy who was being interviewed carried in addition to his SVD was a stetchin mp on the outside of his pack.

Each guy had 9 30-rd AK mags but only four were issued so they had to be traded or captured (or stolen)

What grade was the unit's commanding officer?
I have read of some spetnaz teams being
comprised almost entirely by junior officers.
