    Since quite many people mentioned about Spetsnaz in Call of Duty Black Ops 1 so I want to leave some facts/info here for those who interested:
    - Although the Vietnam era missions are all set in 1968, Spetsnaz troops are equipped with 1970s-1980s uniforms and equipment instead. Along with a massive amount of either anachronistic or inappropriate weapons. Even worse, this also happen in the 1963 Baikonur mission as well.
    - What they (or majority of them) should have worn in 1968, especially in Vietnam is 'KLMK uniform' with appropriate camo patterns like "splatter/splotch" or "sunshine ray" design. Which is similar with what's appeared in this video.

      Soviets sent weapons to North Vietnam, but couldn't do it by ship, because US blockade.
      so Soviet sent their weapons via China. but Chinese did not give Soviet made weapons to Vietnam. Chinese kept Soviet weapons themselves,
      and gave Vietnamees inferior Chinese copies. This is why Vietnamese hate Chinese more than they hate Americans.

    Well worth a read is On the Ground the Secret War in Vietnam and Across the Fence: The Secret War in Vietnam. The SOG teams deployed into Laos were frequently contacted by Russians over radio and told they were being hunted. They would even address the teams by name, showing the level of intel they had on the supposedly clandestine missions. The teams frequently observed tall white Europeans operating with North Vietnamese forces across the fence and would also observe Russian aircraft supplying the NVA along the Ho Chi Minh trail.

      My grandpa served in Vietnam as a special forces radio operator who could call in airstrikes a different way than regular procedure at the time because his way was more advanced because he had flight knowledge. He's told me about Vietnam and his experience as a special forces operator and it's insane he was calling in strikes that would change the tide of battles and save entire units. He was always aware that out of his squad a sniper was trained to shoot him first. I can't imagine how that would have felt but he said it was some of the best times of his life I don't doubt him. He called in strikes from a ww2 navy battleship that shot his strike from 24 miles I cant remember how many miles he was from the strike but it would shake the ground from where he was standing from a long range away.

They would go on recon missions deep into North Vietnam Southern China and Laos They said that they ambushed North Vietnamese patrols and killed white people with them who wore different uniforms . They also killed Chinese soldiers with the North Vietnamese. They brought one of the white peoples body back with them and the US Army intelligence identified them as a Polish advisor . I also read abotu the SOG units who said that they often monitored Russians talking on their radio when they went on recon missions into Laos and Cambodia. They said that some of the Russians could speak English and would taunt them on the radio. They said that they were Spetznaz . The SOG teams also saw Russian cargo planes with Russian markings making drops of supplies by parachute at night into the jungle that were signaled by Russian spetnaz with flashlights

      to be fair, that is the ''official'' list. Soviets never liked to talk about their casualties in any conflicts , in Winter war against Finland they reported like 3 times less people killed than what Finns found buried in the ground. So we dont know for certain
