Russian Commando Frogmen
The Soviet Union started frogman operations during World War II. The first unit of combat divers (or RON team), was formed in Leningrad in 1941.
Russian combat swimmers (formerly called "combat divers"), are nowadays part of the Naval Spetsnaz which is a branch of Intelligence.
According to major Russian generals, the Russian commando frogmen are an equivalent to the Navy SEALs and Shayetet 13.
