These are
Spetsnaz (watch the Discovery video about them). The same units were assaulting the Amin's palace during the
Storm-333 operation. Here in Russia we have no strict rule on (once again: watch the Discovery video) who they should be called. They are professional (non drafted ones) soldiers and they are absolutely universal. As I said, there is no strict graduation for them.
As about Muslims, so course no. The Muslim religion is the 2nd religion after Christianity in Russia. I've grown up in a Muslim city of Russia and I have a lot of Muslim buddies from there. So these are military operations against radical Islamists (ISIS, etc), who are different to Muslims... because they are radicals.
P.S. In my city the Muslim kids were knocking the doors to get eggs at Christian Easter, while I was celebrating the Muslim Kurban Bayram. I'm an atheist BTW. We always lived in piece - Christians and Muslims. The orthodox Christian church and Mosque stay together:
I've posted this video already, but here it is again, just to show who they are (police of military units):
They work against terrorists in Russians and they do their military missions in other countries as well. They use heavy weapons, rocket launchers, tanks etc. So who they are?
