Little green men (, (ウクライナ語:зелені чоловічки)), in Russia Polite People (, (ウクライナ語:ввічливі люди)), is a colloquial expression referring to masked unmarked soldiers in green army uniforms wielding Russian military weapons and equipment within Ukraine. It was first used during the 2014 Crimean crisis, when said soldiers occupied and blockaded the Simferopol International Airport, most military bases in Crimea〔 and the parliament in Simferopol. Retired Russian Admiral Igor Kasatonov has revealed that the little green men belonged to the army Spetsnaz and said that according to his information the Russian troop deployment in Crimea included six helicopter landings and three landings of IL-76 with 500 people. ==Weapons and equipment analysis== In March 2014 the Finnish magazine ''Suomen Sotilas'' (''Soldier of Finland'') published an analysis of the weapons and equipment seen on photos of "little green men". The article points to a number of weapons and pieces of equipment that it asserts are issued only to armed forces in the Russian Federation: * New EMR camouflage combat uniforms * New 6Sh112 tactical vest * New 6B27 composite helmet * New 7.62 mm PKP machine guns * 6B26 composite helmets (used only by airborne troops of the Russian Federation) * 6Sh92-5 tactical vest (used only by airborne troops of the Russian Federation) * Gorka-3 combat uniform (used only by Russian special forces and mountain troops) * Smersh AK/VOG tactical vest (used only by Russian special forces) The article goes on to conclude that with a very high probability "these troops are the 45th Guards Separate Reconnaissance Regiment of VDV" based in Kubinka, Moscow. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Little green men (2014 Crimean crisis)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
