    The Part 3 shows a nice comparison between 5,45 and 7,62 on a cylinder block. Helps understand the problems the 5,56 has in urban fighting enviroments.

    A bit off topic, but I need some help from you guys.

    Can someone who speaks Russian (I'm not 100% sure it's Russian, but sounds like it) please translate this for me? I just want to know what they're talking about etc.

    I heard them (the grown up, not the kid) say something about a "battalion" a bit earlier, but it isn't in the recording.

    1911-a1, the woman (whom you call a kid ) is asking where some person is, since everyone has been waiting for him for some time. It's probably a party of some kind, since she says that they've got whiskey and want to begin, but this man just ain't coming for some reason

    OMON operative
    Saved his squad during a compromising position in Ingushetia by drawing away enemy fire
    Sustained 16 gunshot wounds
    Partially and hopefully temporarily paralyzed
    In good spirits, squadmates and wife are supporting him.
    Received Hero of Russia medal, an apartment and a new car
    Learning how to walk again
    Doctors are giving no promises on whether he will walk but he is making slow progress

    in basic summary....

    Weaponology about spetsnaz could have used Vova's and lots of same kind of stories for better documentics.
    Vova's fighting spirit is what spestnaz is. (in this case MVD)

    not a kid but a woman...

    woman: kookoo (hey there)
    woman: common hurry up! you've been walking for half an hour already
    man: the whiskey is getting cold... (whisper)
    man: I'm saying... the whiskey is getting cold... it's getting cold... the whiskey
    woman: kookoo (hey there), kookoo (hey there)
    woman: I've been waiting forever for you to come back from the car... you are there for like 40 minutes already
    woman: it's not nice to go on a tour (of the premises I suppose) when five ppl are sitting here waiting for you

    are you spying on your Russian neighbors?

    Slava, not Vova.

    BTW, about Severodvinsk again. I've talked with North Fleet submariner officer recently, who said he was briefed in the boat, and while the guy couldn't say much, it seems that I definitely mixed up 677 and 885 boats -- there's apparently nothing wrong with the boat's sonar and looks like it was already tested (at least partially) on an other, experimental boat. So all is for the better, except that consensus among analysts is that 885 boats are a bit too big and expensive, and won't do to replace all the aging older boats, so there's the need for a smaller and cheaper one, kind of a Virginia-class analogue (Severodvinsk, Kazan etc being "Seawolfs").
