SPETSNAZ WHAT THE PENTAGON WON'T TELL YOU... Two EIR Special Reports will. �PtqAL RtK>RT SPETSNAZ In the Pentagon's "authoritative" report on the Soviet military threat, Soviet MilitaryPower 1988, the word spets naz never even appears. But spetsnaz are Russian "green berets." Infiltrated into Western Europe, spetsnaz have new weapons that can wipe out NATO'S mobility, fire power, and depth of defense, before Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov launches his general assault. ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE WEAPONS At least the Pentagon report mentions them-but only their "defensive" applications. In fact, they can be trans ported by spetsnaz, finely tuned to kill, paralyze, or di sorient masses of people, or to destroy electronics and communications. With EMP, as strategic weaponry or in the hands of spetsnaz, the Russians won't need to fire a single nuclear missile to take Europe.
