Great team, every one of them. We can be proud of every one of them, I wish them luck as they continue to hone their skills and defend Russia. Their task will become more and more difficult, but their resolve will never change, we need more like this, to preserve and enhance our way of life. There are plenty of other criminal targets to address within as well, like drug traffickers and mafia controlled gangs leading organized crime and corruption. We have a lot of people unemployed, surely amongst them, are ones with the capabilities to join and grow Alpha's capability. Well done Alpha, we always respect you, and know you are there for us, keep up the good work!
