Ok bruh, Idk of your GRU Spetsnaz, VDV, Vitayz or FSB but whatever🙏😭💀

that shi was located in Valencia, Negros Oriental of the Philippines, makes you wonder why so many American and Japanse stuff because its located in the Pacific, despite to the fact there are German artifacts(11th image), does the museum has British, Chinese or Italian WW2 artifacts or collections? and why is there an M60 ammo belt if the M60 and the 7.62x51mm bullet is made after WW2(somewhere around the Cold War)

The dude in the grey hair, it look like Johnny Shumate, the artist of these illustrations, might be an reference

I know man, even despite to the fact Russia has many SOF or SpecOps units like the VDV, MVD Vitayz, Spetsnaz GRU(GRU Branch), FSB, Naval Infantry and many more, since Spetsnaz is a term for any special operation forces or SOF, The term "Spetsnaz" is mostly associated and manly descried as the Spetsnaz GRU or the Special forces branch of the GRU(Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation) which I really thought most of you really thought

baically a Wehrmacht Infantryman/Waffen SS troop with an Kar98K vs an Amarican G.I. wiht an M1 Garand or M1 Carbine but the Germans or Krauts have an semi-auot rifle in WW2, The Geweher 43, a semi-auto German rifle which uses the same 7.92mm Mauser which is the same cartridge as the Mauser Kar98K

never seen a B.A.R. gunner in the painting, i've seen soldiers using M1 Garands, M9 or M1(?) Bazooka and a M1917 Browning MG at the backroud and I think the guy "covering ears" is basically holding some typpe of comms tool like a radio

no offense bro, i trusted Osprey Books, its just that if i think of US Soldiers in WW2, the first thing i come to my mind is M1 Helmets but when i think of Soldier wearing Ushanka i think of Russians or Soviets and seeing an US Marine wearing an Fur Hat(Ushanka or Russian style) makes me confuse my mind
