Insane Russian Training technique

[zdc1775]

So I saw this video on my Facebook feed and thought I should share it here.
Video
Supposably Russian special forces and some of their training techniques.
I wouldn't reccomend the techniques but they are interesting to watch.

And people still wonder how we won the Cold War? Accidents waiting to happen all over that video.

I like them better 20 years ago when they were simple soviet peasants.

Russian doctrine is much different than that of the USA & other Western powers. While US forces seek to minimize civilian/collateral damage, the primary goal of Russian SF is to eliminate the threat at any cost. This is why their "ops" can result in extreme casualties to innocents.

Civilian deaths & injuries only, does not include bad guys.
Breslan School Massacre 2004: 334 deaths, 783 injuries.

Moscow theater hostage crisis 2002: 133 deaths, over 700 injured.

Accidents DID happen in that video. Operator had a ND and the bullet had to have hit between his feet.

Back in the early 80's when I was an S2 Sergeant, the Captain I worked for stated in his intel briefings that a 10% casualty rate in training exercises was considered acceptable in the Soviet Army. They had a lot of live fire training exercises and inevitably someone got in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Well...I have heard of social Darwinism, I guess the soviets invented military Darwinism.

Stupid bovine excrement masquerading as training.

And I think we've had enough. We're a board for responsible gun owner, and this is not the sort of thing responsible private citizens do.
