BAD ASS: Check Out Russian Counter Terror Confidence Drill (Are You Game?)

OK - by U.S. civilian training standards this Russian SF drill is insane.  Hell, by U.S. LE standards it's insane.  But remember, the #1 concern with our training is safety.  We don't deal with what these guys are called in to to deal with.  As civvies we'll probably never be in a position where we'd need these kinds of skills.  This reminds me of my Krav Maga training and belt test where we're pushed and shoved while having to defend ourselves.  I also noticed the Russian SF operators use Sul, which is Portugese for south.  Gabe Suarez is fond of this position and I became an advocate of it after training with Gabe.  Notice in the first video that the SF operator fires his gun in Sul while pushing away the aggressors.  At first I thought this was a negligent discharge due to sympathetic response, but after watching it again, I think he deliberately fired a shot into the ground as a warning to the harrassers, then turned his attention back to the bad actor targets.  This is high level training for those that do very high risk work.  Very cool to see.
