En bref
Le commandement dédié aux opérations spéciales (SSO), créé en 2013 ; documenté publiquement dans ses grandes lignes seulement — et c’est tout ce que cet atlas en retient.

- Not territorial. Publicly documented deployments: Crimea in 2014, Syria from 2015, Ukraine since 2022. Nothing about units, bases or methods is authored.
- Historique notable
- Established in 2013 under the General Staff as a command modelled, by its own founders' account, on Western joint special-operations commands — distinct from the GRU's spetsnaz brigades, which remained a reconnaissance-and-sabotage arm of the military districts. Its first public appearance was the Crimea operation of 2014, where the unmarked troops that seized the peninsula's key points were later acknowledged as its personnel; Syria from 2015 gave it a sustained combat role in target acquisition for the air campaign. In Ukraine its record is what Russian and Ukrainian reporting attribute to it — operations in the 2022 northern axis, Bakhmut, the Kursk incursion's counter — and the atlas records the outline without endorsing any of it.
- Points forts
- A command structure separate from the district system, a decade of operational experience, and the political favour a successful 2014 bought it.
- Limites
- A small force in a war of attrition that has consumed elite formations as infantry; every public account of its size and structure is unofficial. The atlas carries the outline and declines the rest.
