Ukrainian Special Operations Force (4 figures) ICM-35752

Description

Set of 4 figures reproducing soldiers of the modern Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. These units were created in 2016 based on existing units and subunits, many of which already had combat experience.

Until the summer of 2023, the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces are organized into two regiments, a maritime center, a special operations center and several smaller sub-units. They perform deep reconnaissance missions, combat raids behind enemy lines, search and evacuation of captives or hostages, and anti-terrorist activities. The selection process for Special Forces units is very rigorous, with only 10% of all candidates passing the selection process.

Weapons, equipment and facilities, for these special units include the latest models, such as the Vulcan special assault rifle, which has been supplied to Special Forces units since 2017.
