As Shrike said, it’s a generic Russian word for special forces, e.g. American TV show S.W.A.T. was aired in Russia under the name Spetsnaz.
It’s an abbreviation of “spetsialnogo naznacheniya” which means “special purpose”, kinda like the English word SpecOps for special operations, but the meaning is closer to the English word “commandoes”.
