The Shadow Vanguard: Unmasking GRU Unit 29155 and the New Era of Covert Warfare

The world's public consciousness became acutely aware of Russia's most secretive intelligence unit, GRU Unit 29155, not through a formal geopolitical summit or a classified intelligence report, but through a chilling and public event: the collapse of a former Russian spy and his daughter on a park bench in Salisbury, England. The 2018 Novichok nerve agent poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal exposed a brazen attack on sovereign soil, but it also revealed a much larger pattern of alleged clandestine operations spanning years and continents. This incident, while sensational, was merely a visible thread in a complex tapestry of global destabilization.
