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.

Famous quotes containing the word russian:
“Who are we? And for what are we going to fight? Are we the titled slaves of George the Third? The military conscripts of Napoleon the Great? Or the frozen peasants of the Russian Czar? No—we are the free born sons of America; the citizens of the only republic now existing in the world; and the only people on earth who possess rights, liberties, and property which they dare call their own.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
