Awesome Alpha link

These great pictures were brought to my attention today by a friend and fellow forum member. If they were in color they could tell us more about the particulars, but even in B&W you can get a great deal of information about the sorts of awards spetsnaz groups (Alpha and Vympel in particular) wear and how the cross-overs from Soviet Russia wear there past and present awards. Some curious placements of certain newer medals before an ORB, for example. And don't get me started on the awesome badges!:wow

And yes, I know it's a '.com' but these pictures are worth it (in my opinion at least). I wish we could get less artistic angles and get photos in the old style while standing at attention shots, but these are still incredible.:thumbsup
