You got to love the R-1. It looks beautiful. It really makes me want to go out and buy one myself.

Needless to say; great pictures AS ALWAYS.

YOU ARE THE MAN, ROMAN! woot

But the way, what body armor is the guy holding an ak up wearing?

Those flowers really give a romantic mood to the picture. :D

personal opinion but...i find it moronic to be pointing guns at your own soldiers...there is no need for that...close combat fighting with a knife is different but pointing guns?

then again the russian military has always had unorthodox training...as for the actual photos, they are awesome!

[Falco]

Cool pics mate woot

[MARINO]

GP woot mad ruskies

[MEGR]

What's the scope that looks like an Eotech in some of the pics.. Also, what Ak's are they using, I can't tell the difference sometimes.

[American Patriot]

The sight is a Kobra EKP-1S-03M collimator sight. Does it really look like an EOTech to you? ;)

Great photos woot

So I guess footage of GSG9 operatives standing in rows shooting past each other at targets are moronic too. There are always going to be cases where a special forces operative will muzzle sweep a fellow operative.

Besides during some exercises your own soldiers can represent enemy soldiers.

[Chrome Beretta]

Hey, your safety is off. Thats improper Gun handling skills :D . J/K.

Nice pics man. Spets kick ass. I've seen a couple episodes of that Russian show Speatsnas (sp?) with my Russian freind. I have no idea what theire saying, but nothin beats a AK-108 being shot from a moving plane p-) :P .

[HumanShield]

I got my first chance to shoot a AK this past weekend...bad ass gun they got there woot

[RomanS]

Those are the most comfortable helmets I've ever wore in my life.

Seriously, they might look funny to some, but once you put it on, thats a whole another storry.

Speak those who tried them. Am I right?

[SiFiOn]

one word:

AWESOME

[Groove]

Nice posing pics.

Sometimes i think they are no real soldiers... But i think im wrong on this one.

I am not sure what you mean, but these are real soldiers. Well, actually soldiers of MVD. They are not Ministry of Defense soldiers, if that is what you meant.

[ZeroPositive]

cool pics poor guy with the moustache gets his ass kicked :)
Very cool indeed.

[Dennis G]

So the Russian Army and the MVD have two different Spetsnaz Groups?

How long is Spetsnaz Selection & Training? Any good book about the training of the Spetsnaz found these on amazon books about spetsnaz (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/102-6929441-0562552) Anyone ever read any of them?

But how long is Spetsnaz Training?

[RomanS]

I guess untill they think you are ready and know enough. I'm not sure if there is a standart time for training. Every branch, unit will have their own.

Awesome pics PermskiiOMON! Wow, best shots of Spetsnaz I have seen yet :)

Just wondering, what kind of uniform type and camo is the soldier above wearing? I was looking for the camo type on:

http://www.rusmilitary.com/html/c-wear_colours.htm

and

http://www.russiancombatgear.com/

but I could not find a matching BDU-type and camo-type. If you have more information I would be very grateful!

Thanks,

regarding the question on Spetsnaz training those chosen for special units are conscripts that serve 2 years.

They are normally chosen for recognisable abilities and skills and will generally have been "good communists" and have taken part on DOSAAF training. In other words they will probably already have parachuting experience and know how to strip a weapon as they learned these skills in the Soviet equivelent of the Boy Scouts... a Boy Scouts run by retired military personel that teach kids both discipline and how to strip and clean small arms, how to tie knots, parachute jump etc etc.

:roll:

it's true about the Gracies


The result was G.R.A.P.L.E. (Gracie Resisting Attack Procedures for Law Enforcement). Since its inception, the program has been taught to members of the FBI, Secret Service, Navy Seals, Army Rangers, Special Forces, and many other federal, state and local law enforcement professionals, as well as some elite international organizations such as the Israel Security Agency and the British Police Special Operations Group. In fact, the US Army is rewriting their combatives manual to include the G.R.A.P.L.E. techniques they learned from Rorion Gracie.

Russian dude gets slamed on his ****ing head, reverses position on the ground, and within 20 seconds after almost being killed by that slam...slaps on a Kimura from the side to win the match. Amazing.
