Would you like to meet elite military tactical teams trained to perform high-risk dangerous missions that conventional units cannot perform? Special Forces soldiers need to be physically and mentally robust and have the confidence, courage, and skill to operate individually or in small teams, often in isolation and in a hostile environment. Let’s participate in a training session of such a team.
Special forces battle teams leapfrogged along the forest covering one another and maintaining surveillance, paying attention to every sound and sniffing the air. It was the third day of the training session, the guys were getting ready for a coming match. The group consisted of contract soldiers with a huge military experience and a couple of young soldiers.
According to the words of the instructor who controlled the group 3 years are required to form an experienced group of special forces. That’s why national service soldiers do not count.
Apart from the commanding officer, his understudy and commanders of fighting compartments the group also has sanitary instructor, snipers, blasters and signalers. If there is a need the specialists can substitute one another.
They have a wide range of weapon such as sniper rifles, Kalashnikov light machine guns, etc. The soldiers are well-versed in cold weapon, a knife is included into their equipment.
During a training session soldiers have to distribute along the forest, conduct intelligence, masking, imitating saving of a wounded soldier, render the first aid, couple cars and captives and overcome a military obstacle.
Snoopers have different equipment. Soldiers choose clothes to feel comfortable and buy them for their own money.
This very special regimen carries out commando-type reconnaissance operations and finishing off that’s why there is no need to unify soldiers engaged in the area of actual combat.
Government doesn’t provide soldiers with all necessary things. Thus, they prefer buying expensive and good shoes and have to pay their own money for it.
Weight of equipment in a regular military raid constitutes 40-50 kg.
Having left the forest, the group crossed the road and imitated a minor action that was far from being successful as one of the troopers was injured.
The group started rendering aid to the wounded one. Severe leg and eye bullet wounds were imitated.
The whole situation was worsened due to abundant blood loss. According to the task, the wounded was first in consciousness and could talk but his condition was constantly worsened. After tightening an extremity an intravenous injection was given. Injections were made for real as ampules with glucose, adrenalin and cardiostimulators were contained in a first-aid kit.
Before capturing a captive the group redistributed along the road. As soon as the military truck reached the marked puddle it was hit with condoms containing water-emulsion paint. The truck was stopped and captives taken to the woods. In reality a driver is shot and enemies are captured together with their documents.
It is very easy to get necessary information from the captives. Methods producing influence on their minds are widely used. After that the captives can either be murdered or kept alive depending on the order.
Last step included the crossing.
First group packed its equipment into hermetic bags and moved to another bank by swimming.
Others covered the spot by fire. The first group arrived to the designated area and improvised a defense followed by others.
The soldiers stated that they need just 4 or 5 hours for rest and then can continue the task.

For whom they made these photos? For teenagers? For Holywood movie makers?
One guy such as Aldrich Ames wields and moves more power then 500 of these scout boys.
These guys don’t llok that special. They are not in great shape and the quipment they have isn’t that impressive. They look like reservists. The yellow fins are a dead giveaway they are not elite.
One of them was using a PKP Pecheneg. And from what I know is only in use by the Spetsnaz. And just because they use bright yellow fins doesn’t mean they’re not specialists.
First
Fail, Lord!
What unit are they from? FSB? Border guards? VDV? Navy? or Ground Forces? GRU?
I think they are probably from the MVD, although the Vympel or Alfa are also possibilities.
Its niether, this is not even elite army… Niether MVD, GRU, FSB , or Alfa could show their faces on camera!
I love it. They are wearing US-style “boonie hats” just like we did in ‘Nam. Not to mention US-style LBE (load bearing equipment — web gear) that we gave up on 20 years ago. Put them in Indochina & they’d be right at home. Also see these guys are using Russian sniper rifles and not the Austrian Steyr like the mountain troops. Better or worse?
Like the Americans wearing French tigerstripe camo in Vietnam? using AK47s. As for the Dragunov vs Steyr, same effect at the ranges involved but ammo is more available for the SVD.
Why are they wearing german camo?
Why have the soldier German, US and Russian Cammo ??
Ah, that looks fun.
I enjoyed the Russian Navy’s effective method for dealing with Somali pirates.

If the Russian special units are like their navy then they are indeed a force to be reckoned with.
The Russian Navy forces are truly merciless dealing with pirates. I would say, as a pirate, even their merchant crews can cause mayhem to anyone threatening to screw them.
“Methods producing influence on their minds is widely used.”
Uh, Comrades, I don’t think I want to know anymore about what exact methods were used…
lol…
I remember a lecture involving the use of a tow cable …
I wish these men well. I could easily see them fighting alongside US special forces in a future conflict, and wouldn’t be surprised if they presently participate with US special forces in certain exercises. However, they shouldn’t have to buy so much of their gear. The Russian military should provide them whatever the need. A relatively small group of special forces can accomplish as much or more, sometimes, than a much larger group of “regular” troops.
They would need a lot of work and training to keep up with the SEALs
The way the SEALS are going in dirt poor countries, US special forces woould need like $4 Trillion to stamp a foot in Siberia.
O.K. that makes no sense what so ever.
Of course. US money problems are out of your comprehension.
美国人是我们的
I was talking to one of the troopers from ‘stan. We were talking about the strange feelings you get when you find yourself getting help from something you spent years planning to kill. In his case a BMP, in mine, a MIL14!
After loosing its war against Georgya, russian army needs a good training to reboost the morale af its poor starving soldiers.
Loosing war? Tell me more..
Ossetia and Abkhasia are seperate now.
Stolen from it’s rightful owners. Russian war mongering and imperialism.
Look who’s talking. Your tongue should be hurting.
Really what territorial gains has the US taken for itself? Have we expanded our borders at all? No! Russia has though
Half of Mexico, Puerto Rico, Phillipines, Guam.
Don’t forget Hawaii, USVI, Cuba (until Fidel),Texas & most of the south-west(from the Spanish)[Teddy Roosevelt, rough riders, San Juan Hill]
its hard to call a unit an elite military when they are using rifles that are over 70 years old…
I dont see any rifle from 1940 there.
I think he’s referring to the AKs. ALthough the 74s and the SVD are recent reworks of the original design.
Russian Military has never been known for looking cool or for wasting money or resources. They are used to lack them. Russian forces in battle are only known for being ruthless, for smashing invaders and winning wars.
Don’t forget raping and pillaging.
They didn’t exterminate Native Americans. Do you forget that often?
Yes, Russian Army has not exterminated Native Americans or other ethnic group in the last 200 years. US Army did so. Besides death and imposed starvation, the raping and pillaging was also included. Amricans can’t lecture anyone about Army behaviour.
@black crow History is not your strong suit. Stick to World of Warcraft and Jersey Shore.
Your convenient amnesia is laughable.
No. There are actually more native Americans alive today than at any point in history.
Native americans were massacred, and with some frecuent “raping and pillaging”.
Oh please. For American Black women, raping and pillaging was the least of their problems for a long time. Go preach somewhere else.
I like when some self serving Americans want to preach something, and all their dirt comes up. Lol.
Yes. Thanks you super slueth for your hard hitting propaganda. You got us. You exposed the same tired old left wing myths that every other soviet apologist drags up in a debate. Try reading true history and you will see there was no extermination. Just a stone age society encountering a more advanced culture and not being able to compete. Kind of like when you go to school and can’t keep up with everyone else socially.
“society encountering” is also a name for genocide and slavery.
“propaganda”… But can’t rebutte anything of it.
Really? This is Russia’s Elite? They have to buy their own boots? They’re so stubborn as to only use Russian Kalishnikov variants?? A SEAL team would have these guys wiped out in a matter of seconds.
Oh yeah, good job keeping the collateral damage down with the Chechnya schoolhouse and the Moscow movie theatre. You never hear about SEAL teams in the press because we don’t make mistakes.
911 was a big mistake haha
@Historian. So was your birth
Amen brother
NO, you don’t hear about them because civilian clothes are their uniform of choice!
*Kalashnikov
@Ex-SEAL and @testicules: I’m glad to inform you that you were OWNED! Ha, ha, ha!
Huh?
You had to write something. Typical.
OK, where is the Predator ?
@Ex-SEAL. Why in God’s name shouldn’t we use AK’s?!!! Anything wrong with them? NO. Infact they are realiable, robust and compact. AND they are RUSSIAN, in case you heard otherwise. And these troops shown here are RUSSIAN, in case you may have assumed otherwise.
@kkthxbai and @Stef.
Those aren’t German or US camouflage patterns. Russia uses many patterns, but the German-looking one is the old pattern, which is being replaced. But since these aren’t troops from the Army, I think it really doesn’t matter.
@Ex-SEAL I don’t believe you are an Ex-SEAL because a genuine Ex-SEAL would not be posting the type of juvenile comments that you post.
Yes they do. Especially after a few beers
You mean, when they are sober…
Means when they are sober, they don’t post the lazy kid nonsense that Ex-SEAL and his gonad pal do.
You really need to work on your retorts. You so lack imagination
That means you’re drunkin front of your computer screen… Pathetic. Get some friends.
Once again you show your inability to be funny
Funny? Who cares? You couldn’t give any coherent argument and that’s OK with me.
Hasta la vista
Get to the Choppaah…!!!
That is funny
Good pictures, these guys look like they know what they are doing. Perfectly suited for the enviroment. I hope I never have to face them in the field of battle.
Greetings from Finland.
PS: In that type of terrain, I’d rather go against a team of SEALs than these guys…
As a former Recon Marine, doesn’t matter what or who they are. War is war, no human should have to train to take someone else life.
Last!
Either way, you lost.
