Biography[]

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare[]

In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and its 2016 remaster, the Russian Forces appear as allies to the Loyalists, Special Air Services, and United States Marine Corps during the Second Russian Civil War. Though they don't appear much in the campaign, the Loyalists act as a support to the SAS and USMC against the Russian Ultranationalists, who are led by Imran Zakhaev.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2[]

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the Russian Forces act as a hostile faction alongside the Russian paratroopers when the Russian government declares World War III on the United States. After Vladimir Makarov frames the United States for the Zakhaev airport massacre, Russian president Boris Vorshevsky declares war and sends the Russian Army and the other branches to invade the United States. The Russian Ground Forces are mainly fought in the U.S. Army Rangers missions, where they attack Virginia and Washington, D.C. alongside the paratroopers.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3[]

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the Russian Forces appear as a hostile faction against the United States Army and Delta Force. The Russian Forces first appear invading New York with the Russian Navy and Russian Air Force, but are thwarted by Delta Force Team Metal, who launched Russian naval missiles on the other fleets to cripple them. After failing to take over New York and Washington, D.C., the Russian Forces invade countries across Europe and battle the GIGN, Bundeswehr ("Federal Defense Force"), and United States Armed Forces. After President Vorshevsky and his daughter are rescued by Team Metal and Task Force 141 operators John Price and Yuri, he signs a peace treaty with the United States, thus ending the Third World War.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare[]

The Russian Forces appear in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a reboot to the original Modern Warfare sub series, as an opposing faction in the campaign. The main hostile faction of the Russian Forces is General Barkov's rogue mercenary group, who serve Barkov rather than the Russian government. Once learning that Hadir Karim was behind the theft of Barkov's gas, they demanded him to be turned over and imprisoned. CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell succeeded in handing him over from Captain Price, but allowed him and Kyle Garrick to keep the intel on Barkov and his gas factory.

After Barkov was killed and his war crimes were revealed, the Russian government disowns Barkov and his forces for their war crimes. However, the Russian military are attacked by the Al-Qatala, who are now led by "The Ascendant", and the Russians make an alliance with the United States' military to stop the Al-Qatala. Additionally, Hadir escaped from confinement and joined the Al-Qatala, but was later killed by Farah Karim, Captain Price and Alex Keller in 2022.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II[]

In Modern Warfare II, the Russian Forces appear in the prologue, performing a deal with Quds Force and the Al-Qatala. Alongside General Ghorbrani, the forces are decimated by a ballistic missile ordered by General Shepherd and Shadow Company.

Trivia[]

Though a hostile faction in Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3, they do not appear in multiplayer as the Spetsnaz take the role.
