So where did you get the pics? As far as I know there are NO Russian troops in the Bosnia theater of operations, and I work in a place where info like that is quite easy to find. Smells like poo...

I know there are Bulgarians working out of Camp Butmir but they are far from Spetsnaz.

It‘s their "Circus troop" on a Balkans tour !!!

Shiver me timbers! YARR!

I think I saw that on "real tv" a loong time ago; they do kind of look like circus pirates.
Either way, they‘re topping my list of people I do not want to get into a bar brawl with.

I got it off an old SFOR site:

I still think it‘s a circus... we had a group of russian Spetnaz visit 1 CDO in Pet in the early 90s. They demonstrated a similar ballet, a nice choreography, in B-21... but when it came time for knife throwing, all the guy managed to do was cut his fingers pretty badly, with the knife repeatedly hitting square on the wall and falling to the ground.
Not impressive...

babicma, smaller avatar. Your current one is too large.

Those spetnaz... What are they trying to prove? They are hard?

 

[East Side Soprano]

Man, those uniforms are UGLY!

 

[babicma]

RHF hows the size of this avatar?

 

[Pikache]

That‘s still large for my tastes, but acceptable by board standards.

Now thats some real crap, I've seen Russian spetsnaz use knifes and throw knifes and trust me they are amazing, second of all, I have a friend who was in Russian spetsnaz, he can use a knife like no other, and he has very high selfdefense and close combat like hand to hand combat skills... They are also darn very good trained...
So before you make something up, please think it over. (No hard feelings)

I'm a U.S. Marine, and damn proud of it too!!

Well good ol'neighbors good luck!!!

Hey, maybe he was tryin to be funny... I wouldn't know, but I know how most people talk crap about other countries militaries and think that their military is the best in the world, i feel the same way. Even I make fun of other countries military with my buddies when I see something on TV or elsewhere. But from what I have witnessed from Russian military, well... how about this... I gained respect for Russian military.

 

[Grom]

[Grom]
