The Special Rapid Response Unit or SOBR (Russian: СОБР - Специальный Отряд Быстрого Реагирования, romanized: Spetsialnyy Otryad Bystrogo Reagirovaniya, lit. ''Special Unit of Quick Response''), from 2002 to 2011 known as OMSN (Otryad Militsii Spetsial'nogo Naznacheniya, Special Police Unit), is a spetsnaz unit of the National Guard of Russia.
SOBR fighter
With their military equipment, uniforms and training, the OMON and SOBR constitute a rapid-reaction and rapid-insertion military force available[when?] to the regular police - normally deployable at the discretion of a police local command.[1] They serve a similar function to a police tactical unit.
Groups named "SOBR" also operate in other post-Soviet countries - such as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
