Spetznaz are on teh whole ruthless if not quite as efficient as the SAS. Anyone remember how the Soviets handled the kidnapping of one of their diplomats in Lebanon in the 80's. No pissing around with negotiations just kidnapped a terrorist and then sent him back in a many boxes each with a body part. Result, one released diplomat and no more kidnappings of Soviet personnel.
