27 February - Special Operations Forces Day

Dear soldiers of the Russian Special Operations Forces!

The SDF are the elite units of the Russian Armed Forces, whose service involves daily risk and requires excellent combat training, high intelligence, courage and dedication. You are responsible for carrying out unique missions under conditions of the highest complexity and secrecy. You are responsible for the Crimean Spring and the fight against international terrorism in Syria. Today you are at the forefront of a special military operation, professionally performing the most complex tasks to protect the national interests and security of the Fatherland.

Happy holiday, honoured veterans and members of the special forces!

We wish you good health, family prosperity and happiness, new successes in the service of the Motherland!

With gratitude, ZALA
