The Blue Effect (Cold War)
“ELEMENTS OF 2ND SPETSNAZ BRIGADE. RODINGHAUSEN, WEST GERMANY.
THE BLUE EFFECT +2.5 HOURS A member of the crew spoke into the microphone of the internal communications system, informing the team leader they were five minutes away from the landing zone. The team leader tapped the shoulder of the man next to him, holding up five fingers, and he, in turn, tapped the soldier next in line, repeating the warning until all eight of the soldiers, sitting in the back of the shaking helicopter, were a...ware that they were only five minutes out. This was the cue to check their weapons yet again, even though they knew implicitly that everything was perfect and well prepared for the operation ahead. The majority carried an AKS-74U, a stripped down version of the AK-74, the standard Soviet assault rifle. Each man also had a spade, the preferred weapon of choice for a Spetsnaz soldier. In fact, it was the only weapon they trained with at the start of their training, and they quickly learnt to use it with deadly effect.MoreLess
