User blog comment:Cod1/Spetznaz vs. Marines, who would win?/@comment-94.210.255.53-20100903171719

The list is missing a lot. AS VAL, VVS, 9A-91 etc. Spetsnaz are actually better equipped. In combat all Spetsnaz units are mechanized, whereas for marines this isn't true.

Their training, however, is totally different. Spetsnaz does NOT do frontline duty. They engage in special unit task, they don't lead beach head assaults like the USMC. A better comparison would be the VDV, they have more in common.
