Russian dictator launches ‘KGB 2.0’
A Superheim Soviet spy unit is called the second coming of the KGB, RadarOnline.com can report.
The group consists of former criminals whose mission sabotage, cyber attacks and murders throughout Europe.
According to international reports, after Russia had invaded Ukraine, the Kremlin launched a campaign of “Sabotage, Arson and Disinolation”, with a special focus on “specific goals” linked to support for KYIV.
The group, known as the Department of Special Tasks – or SSD – is responsible for “causing chaos and unrest” among the Russian enemies in the West.
They have blamed for murder attempts, including one that focuses on the CEO of a German weapon company, and are planning to place explosives in DHL aircraft.
Dr. Lance Hunter, a professor in international relations and intelligence expert at Augusta University, told the US Sun that the SSD consists of a colorful crew of some of the best and most cruel mercenaries in Russia.
“The SSD can be viewed somewhat in the same way as the KGB under the Soviet Union,” Hunter explained. “However, the SSD uses modern tactics such as cyber operations and works within the larger military intelligence structure of Russia.
“It tries to consolidate various elements of the Russian intelligence services, which often coordinate with and operates in addition to other Russian special unit troops.”
Hunter shared that the SSD consists of well-trained agents and undercover agents who have been chosen for the team based on their ability to ‘maneuver in other countries in other countries’.
“Unity often focuses on countries that support Ukraine or oppose Russia, including military assets, political dissidents and infrastructure,” he added. “It also often uses techniques that are difficult to follow, using countless forms of offensive cyber activities to weaken his goals.”
Intelligence sources believe that the SSD was first founded in 2023, in the midst of the growing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
And they use a number of shady characters to have their missions done. People with a criminal background are particularly attractive recruits, as Mi6 Richard Moore told a Panel Financial Times.
Moore said: “The Kremlin cannot use their own people, (so) they have to do with criminal elements.”
But although criminals can be found cheap, they usually do not have the skills of trained soldiers and the opposition groups of Moore “usually we can solve them fairly effectively.”
SSD agents are reportedly focusing on Western universities and companies, hoping to recruit young influenceable sympathizers. They also recruit foreign agents from countries that are tailored to Moscow, such as Serbia and parts of the developing countries, according to the Wall Street Journal.
In December, the European Union placed sanctions against SSD agents who accused them of orchestrating bomb attacks, cyber attacks and coups throughout Europe.
The US has also sued various members of the collective and offers a reward of $ 10 million for information about five agents bound by cyber attacks against Ukraine.
It is assumed that the SSD has already swallowed various rival factions in the vast spy network of Russia. However, heads in the Kremlin have denied any involvement in the group.
