Watch for the bloke with the bang stick.

[The91Bravo]

[Floyd]

:eek:

It would be interesting to see the same scenario done by CAG to contrast the styles.

[RGR.Montcalm]

When did we start selling the Russians Kevlars?

There were bad guys that they pulled off the bus, who knows?

[GackMan]

I think the 12.7mm on the BRT would have taken care of any hostages or hostage takers... the rest was just to be sure.

[Bohr Adam]

I didn't catch anything about hostages. Just a bit about successfully detaining criminals.

Am I missing something?

[Justaclerk]

Well it certainly was a 'complete show' (Настоящая показуха), but the translation is probably closer to 'full demonstration.'

[SOTB]

Check out the dude who set off the charge (I don't know whether to call him a breacher or a special effects activator) crawling to get back up. At first I thought he was blown pretty far from the bus, but later you can see him right next to the bus trying to get up.

The killer is this might have been a demo, but these same studs are the ones who might do something for real, later. You know, like dump some gas in an enclosed environment to put people down -- and then not have enough medical support and the proper drugs to counteract the gas when the supposed goodguys eventually storm in....

[Fofo]

I wonder what went-off right under the bus at the moment the soldier struck the window with the long stick? A very large, flashbang?

Hopefully, for the sake of anyone taken hostage in Russia, a nice, big KPV machine gun being shot at you, and a big explosion right under the vehicle - are just for dramatic effect during public practice exercises.

[eoddude]

In the first video, at 1:12 can anybody ID that weapon?

[Fofo]

Looks like a KBP PP-90M1 SMG, IMO.

[8Ball]

That was a hell of a breech, er, I mean Target Destroyed.
Holy Shit.

[ronix]

That was pure fucking awesomeness.

Looks more like a special effects stunt to me. Pre-rigged for crowds.

Most of the bang is behind the stick man.

[Massgrunt]

"And you there, Ivan, you just... I don't know, shoot in the air or something."

And remind me never to play aggressor for a Russian dog and pony show.

The dude with the demo got up immediately and can be seen backing off to the right and off the screen with weapon at the ready. The guy rolling around on the ground and getting up after removal of bad guys walks to the rear with an orange item in his hand. He appears to have been an O/C and it really looks like he was blown or fell out of the vehicle. Either way, pretty Fucked up. :confused:

And, yup SOTB. Same guy's.

[SOTB]

The dude with the demo got up immediately and can be seen backing off to the right and off the screen with weapon at the ready....You're correct -- my bad entirely. Looking at it again, he does get up and walk backwards from the bus....

[shady1]

You're correct -- my bad entirely. Looking at it again, he does get up and walk backwards from the bus....

Yeah, but now, tell me where the O/C comes from ??????? He just appears on the ground out of nowhere.

[eoddude]

" Looks like a KBP PP-90M1 SMG, IMO."

Yeah, I think thats it.

A truly crazy gun.

Russians; they just got to do things their own way.

[Doink]

Russians; they just got to do things their own way.
Sounds like a motivational poster to me. Now I just need a picture of the explosion

[BackInTheDay]

I thought that all you had to do to take a bus down was let it fall to under 50 MPH?

[RhodieBKK]

beat me to it....but here you go all the same:

[Abu Khalil]

Thank goodness they have that Human Shield Wall as back-up, if the BTR doesn't stop the bus...

[ironpaw]

You know, after watching this, I wonder how the hell these guys managed to be a threat to the free world for almost half a decade...

[Justaclerk]

[MoonDog]

They had to shoot the video twice......you missed the translation for #2.

TM CDR: "Breacher Up!"

Breacher: "Fuck That Shit!"

:eek::biggrin:

[8Ball]

...century.

Semantics.:smile:

[shady1]

Yeah, I know i'm splittin hairs here but. Watch the first guy come out of the vehicle at 16 sec. Mills around holding his head/ears while the assault team members just walk past him. Then, he re-enters the vehicle at which time he is then taken out and treated like a combatant. I thought that they were going to render first aid but instead he is taken down (twice) and then covered by a second shooter. WTF ? Do over ! I know, too much free time dude .:smile:

[Savoy6]

I like the guys in the black suits jumpin' around like Spidey Man!

[ironpaw]

...century.

Argh! my bad...:biggrin:

[The91Bravo]

If you look under the bus on the left side I think that is the real demo being placed/set/thrown.. The Stick man may have been just a diversionary device.. that got back up.

Watch it again and look under the bus on the other side....

Maybe? Thoughts?

I wonder how well the rest of your career goes with your ears bleeding 24/7

[Magyc]

In Soviet Russia, bus breaches you!

[Hopeless Civilian]

Bus driver asked Chuck Norris for his bus pass and well........you know! :biggrin:

[Doink]

Going on motivational poster thread now

[poison]

That's awesome. This looks a little more serious.

[lavbo0321]

Outstanding. Check out frame 1:05. The dude in the black suit with his hat turned sideways.

Must be the director.

[shady1]

That's awesome. This looks a little more serious.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YECKQnoFhsE

Those guy's don't know what the fuck their talking about.:confused:

[poison]

I don't know wtf they're talking about either. But at least it wasn't a total charade. :biggrin:

[MakoZeroSix]

Stupid peasants. Go drink some more vodka. We were afraid of these guys once?

[Crue]

First video is not Russian. Sounds like one of the Stans

Second video they is just talking about the how Spetnaz and FSB train together. "They can take down an avtobus in 60 secs", thier rubber bullet shooting window breaker, and showing off a handgun a Chechen terrorist used to execute Russians.

[MixedLoad]

You know, I REALLY needed that today. LMAO. EPIC FAIL!

[BKK]

As some of my Czech friends would say....

Whats worse then getting held by Chechen Muslim extremists....

Getting rescued by Russian Special Forces!

[Jake0331]

The best laugh I have had in 2010 thus far. Absolutely awesome display of ... whatever that was.

[poison]

Obligatory:

Someone on that bus probably asked the Russians for a shoe shine.

[Magyc]

^crossthread points

[Bravo Five Romeo]

poor taste, but this reminds me of this Onion article. (http://www.theonion.com/articles/russia-reiterates-zerotolerance-policy-for-terrori,1270/)

[Aussie Gunner]

moral of the story, don't be taken hostage in Russia, cause if the terrorist don't kill you the rescuers surely will.

[DEVSAW]

That doesn't surprise me at all. Typical of what I'd expect from the Russians, given their mentality and philosophy on safety, numbers, etc. Crudely done. I think they're perfectly okay with that.

[SOTB]

I looked in a lot of threads to find where to put THIS (http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/07/11/tourists-on-burning-russian-jet-force-pilot-to-abandon-takeoff/?intcmp=obinsite). I suppose this thread is as good as any.

Wow.

Fucking airport fire crews extinguish the fire in an engine and the pilot wants to take off anyway. What fucking stupidity....

This is not just stupidity. This is the phenomenon of Russian mentality.

Aeroflot was bad enough, especially in-country – but I made a fair number of promises about how I’d live my life if I managed to survive flying on several Russian military aircraft.

[Expatmedic]

I am sure our Astronaut corps is happy that they are ridding Russian to the ISS.:rolleyes:

[BomberJosh]

that bang stick looks like fun but i have had enough of flying through the air after explosions though so i think I will pass.

[yojinbukai]

That's awesome. This looks a little more serious.

I've seen better coordination from a company of Infantry trainees at Fort Benning trying to fit 130 guys into a single cattle car.

[ET1/ss nuke]

Amen.

I rode a Mi-14 once. Once.

It was dark when we boarded, but there was enough light to see by while we were still airborne. If I could have seen the shape that bird was in before I boarded it, there might have been trouble. I wasn't religious then, but prayers were said to any and every god-like entity that might listen and multiple offers of lifestyle corrections were wagered on a safe return to solid ground at a non-fatal velocity.

There was supposed to be a door on the port side, but there wasn't one, so three of us sat in the doorway white-knuckling the door frame with our legs hanging out while the other four sat behind us and held onto our belts. The floor pan turned out to be a rust bucket, there was no tread on the port side tire, and the odd buzzing noise that puzzled me in the dark turned out to be rivets vibrating and spinning as they struggled to hold the machine together.

When we landed, the pilots couldn't get the engines to restart, so at least we didn't have to fly back out on the piece of crap. Those Russians just seem to have a completely different concept of what safety is and what it is worth.

Good luck with Soyuz Space Lines! :eek:
