FSB

Description:

The FSB is the Russian successor to the KGB's domestic arm. It is responsible for security and counterintelligence within Russia and is equivalent to the FBI.

 

 

PRIMAL Assessment:

The FSB has extensive counter-terrorism experience due to the ongoing insurgencies it is battling in the Northern Caucasus. Its premier Special Forces unit 'Alpha Group' is known as Russia's best counter-terrorist organization but lacks the funding, technology, and enablers that most US CT units have.
