Thats really dodgey. The SAS over here make an imidieate action plan as soon as they arrive on station. the spec ops were there for some time if they hadn't make a plan if things turned sour before they could draw up a complete plan thats piss poor in my books. For something like spetznaz thats not good at all. Still no excuse to use tanks though, I mean christ its an anti-terrorist operation not Kiev! Probably killed a great deal of people who were on the other side of the walls they bashed down. Russian CQB teams seems to need a lot of training, as frequently their actions result in a very much unaceptable loss of civilian life. When terrorist operations happen in Russia, is it controlled independently by the police/fsb chief on the ground or does the modern reincarnation of the politburo control everything? If its all controlled centrally by the government its a prime example of how when everything is centralised it leads to mistakes and wasted time, it only serves to stifle personal initiative of those at the scene.
