Specnaz is a first-person shooter, built on the outdoor 3D engine (Amoeba), in which the main character passes through real environments and uses real weapons.
SPECNAZ is a shortcut of the military name SPECIALNOGO NAZNACENIYA, which means SPECIAL FORCES. The same term, in Russian language, is also used for the western special units SAS or American units called DELTA FORCE. In 80"s, western analysts were using this word also for some so-called ELITE FORCES of the Russian armed forces. This caused the effect that SPECNAZ is considered as a sole component comparable with American SPECIAL FORCES.
