Do you often have a chance to witness the maneuvers of a marine infantry battalion? Today we’ll take a look at the Caspian navy.
Entering the military station.
Going to the shooting ground.
Huge hills of sand around.
A self-propelled artillery weapon.
A unit commander.
Journalists at work.
Committing an attack.
The soldiers are followed by journalists.
All the explosions occurred rather unexpectedly.
Every soldier must be able to load a gun as fast as it’s possible.
Luckily, nobody needed the ambulance that day.
As well as stretchers and first aid kits.
Artillerymen hiding behind the trees.
‘The firing ground’
Soldiers used different weapons for firing.
They threw grenades as well.
Soldiers.

Russian Marines are the best in the world.
Some recycling of pics here? Overall, a good post. interesting photos. These guys don’t look very hard corp. Having been to several USMC bases, these guy look soft compared to American Marines. Are Russian Marines less elite? I don’t recall them playing a huge roll in soviet doctrine. Are they still an after thought?
Haha when I compare the screaming US Marines in fight videos to the relaxed soldiers durin fights in chechnya I know who is harder.
Yeah… The US Marines
That explains why a “hardened” US soldier in Afghanistan costs USD$1 million a year. And why the US keeps borrowing money. Don’t make the Chinese angry.
Do you enjoy arguing with yourself there Testicules, I mean historian, I mean Archy, I mean… ?

So what are you going to do when you find your man?
Conscripts maybe? Kalimba has a point. In a volunteer military where the members have a financial incentive to be participating, you would generally expect more enthusiasm.
Still, looks like range training where they go through the course in a rote manner. Also, young kids and older equipment (steel pots) makes it look like they are probably boot camp trainees doing their advanced infantry training.
No eye protection, no ear protection, no gloves, being in the army must be a desirable position.
BTW first
This is all for pussies
So you’re signing up?
Only if there’s Air Conditioning in the base.
Only if they have Air Conditioning in the Base…
why? I served my two years already, without air conditioning and a personel chef. But with real men and not us metro sexuals. Some of them decided to stay in army and had been send all around world. Kosovo, chechny, turkmenistan, georgia and so on.
Too dumb or too poor to buy your way out?
you must be very unpopular
Looks like a WWII reenactment.
Yes, it’s almost like they were photos taken years ago. They’re great photographs, thank you for sharing them.
Platoon-size maneuvers. Underwhelming.
Looks like rain.
like you?
like I was
