I didn't know that the KGB was involved in operations that appear to be military-based. I had pictured them as fulfilling a role more akin to the FBI in the United States; that is, security over domestic matters, particularly espionage, rather than movements of infantry and/or vehicles.
Actually, Tom clancy talks extinsivly about that in a fictional setting in Red Storm Rising.
I haven't read that one from Clancy. What kinds of things does he describe?
It's about a war with Russia over oil (go figure) he describes the KGB doing most things regular army would, from movment of troops and equipment to actual combat, mostly covert kind of stuff rather than front line fighting, But it surprised me as well because like you I thought they were the equivelent of our FBI or CIA.
