"The Spetznaz are now creamed because of the end of the Cold War. Now slowly-but-surely they're getting back to normal so they can serve in counterterrorism and other special ops."

Actual Spetznaz technique 

A dubious technique, often from video games or movies, said to have been ACTUALLY used by Russian special forces.
Wikipedia: A possible example of actual use of two guns firing at the same time is "Dual wield", practiced by Russian special forces.

Bob: Hey, did you know the Russians had an actual Spetznaz technique called "double jump"?
Al: I don't think so, Bob.

Spetsnaz 

Russian military special forces that give the U.S. Navy SEALS a run for their money. The Spetsnaz are the most badass badasses in the world. Their main strategic is to rush the enemy, going in all guns-a-blazing, and they're the team every Call of Duty player wants to be on.
Tactical Nuke is launched.
Navy SEALS: TACTICAL NUUUUUKE!!!!!!!!
Spetsnaz: (calmly), Enemy nuke incoming.... Yay
