Is it? What is the drill about? To keep your calm under extreme duress, to be able to positively identify targets and non combatants while being subjected to incoming fire and distractions. Think you can do as good as the Spetsnaz operative did?impractical in a real life scenario.
calm down, the American guy in the video himself says he wouldn't recommend this in a real-life situation. russians make their military look larger than life to hide their own shortcomings economically and to maintain their regional power status. we have the same status but you dont see our SF constantly making videos on youtube to boost their egos.Is it?

These guys are professionals, who have spent countless thousands of hours honing their skills and you come along and say, it's impractical. How many weapons have you fired?
Had you ever fired a weapon without ear protection on (as most trainees are made to, it's an initiation routine) you would have known how difficult it is to retain focus and visual on the target while your ears are ringing like the seven bells of hell.
Please don't compare our SF with Spetsnaz...Number of operations undertook wise ,we may be comparable with Spetsnaz.But the variety and scenarios where these ops are done,Spetsnaz scores .Also not to day about the equipment available.The training regime of Para or Marcos would be tough ,so is spetsnaz's ,but the updation in their training modules and techniques is in a more faster rate.Also for a better SF,equip equi and gears are a prerequisite.We don't even have dedicated air support for SF .calm down, the American guy in the video himself says he wouldn't recommend this in a real-life situation. russians make their military look larger than life to hide their own shortcomings economically and to maintain their regional power status. we have the same status but you dont see our SF constantly making videos on youtube to boost their egos.
That's based on your extrapolation from that one highly publicized incident of the school seize.Sorry but Russians have a seriously bad record when it comes to deal with hostage situations. Getting most hostages killed along with terrorists is not a good thing
Russian Hostage rescue sop allows for a 80% loss of hostages to be deemed a successful operation.Sorry but Russians have a seriously bad record when it comes to deal with hostage situations. Getting most hostages killed along with terrorists is not a good thing
Seriously? 80% loss of hostages or 80% should be saved from a crisis?Russian Hostage rescue sop allows for a 80% loss of hostages to be deemed a successful operation.
So a good thing or a bad thing is a function of SOP and benchmarks
Yes - saw an old documentary in the 90s on various spetz units in which one if their commanders in the interview mentioned it.Seriously? 80% loss of hostages or 80% should be saved from a crisis?
Well okay, from now, let's restrict thread to Pakistani Economy.
They lack almost everything.
You are correct here....
They have indeed out source their defence to US and now Pakistan..
They can't fight on their own and yes pak army is battle hardened as compared to them...
