I think that is normal for special forces all around the world, to make them common with how it feels getting shot at without penetration, so that they do not get in a shock state and stop fighting and endagering themselfs by standing around and wondering if they were hurt or not.
not really,
Taking a round to the plate carrier is one thing but the follow up is another. LAV the host here is actually former Delta So when he says no on this that should tell you their is a culture shock.

LAV former delta or not, i highly doubt he has visited every special forces and even special forces will not show anything about their training to everyone that is simply a security risk. The Israelis for instance are made of different countries and have a background of different cultural and military cultural origins and philosphies, many of them russians and i am sure they have something similiar with life rounds.

That was mainly for show, training and exercises or not, it only shows individual skills not units how they operate that is why it is published or not big concern for security.
 
(concerns Project 11356 ship the Admiral Essen (751)):
... the Admiral Essen first sailed to Kronstadt ...

Maybe do not provocate in waters that are over 8000km away from your own country and just 60km from russia. It is funny how the aggressor constantly victimizes himself.

Nah! Black Shark, we do NOT think we R victims, we are there to "stir things up" and remind "Ivan" that his aggression in the former Soviet Republics is NOT acceptable!

Now, I really wish Mr. Kerry had NOT stated his concern in this manner, and yes this is serious business, but the Russians are "overreacting" to a very simple but necessary "surveillance", and yes they are executing the same kind of missions, for the same purpose.

Ronald Reagan said it? "trust, but verify", and you really ought to keep your eye on Mr. Putin and Mr. Obama??? neither one is well suited to Power?? IMHO

Looks like some Russian are a fan of the movie "Top Gun" as well.;)

Some smart-ass Russian pilot decided to channel Tom Cruise inTop Gunand perform a barrel roll over a U.S. reconnaissance plane in international waters. The incident was the second such provocation against the American military in the last few days. On Thursday, Russian jets buzzed the USS Donald Cook destoryer, flying 30 feet above its deck.

The incident Thursday occurred when a Russian jet "performed erratic and aggressive maneuvers" as it flew within 50 feet of the U.S. aircraft's wing tip, Danny Hernandez, a spokesman for U.S. European Command, said in a response to a question from CNN.


The Russian Su-27 began the barrel roll from the left side of the U.S. RC-135 and went over the top of it to end on the right side of the aircraft, European Command said.

The RC-135 aircraft was "intercepted by a Russian SU-27 in an unsafe and unprofessional manner," Hernandez said, adding that the U.S. plane never entered Russian territory.

"The unsafe and unprofessional actions of a single pilot have the potential to unnecessarily escalate tensions between countries," said Hernandez, who added the United States is protesting with the Russian government.

But Russia's Defense Ministry said that reports on Thursday's incident were "not consistent with reality" and that the Russian aircraft's maneuvers had been "performed strictly in accordance with the international regulations on the use of airspace."

Ministry spokesman Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the Su-27 had been dispatched after Russian air defense facilities spotted an unknown target over the Baltic Sea, approaching the Russian border at high speed.

It identified the jet as an American reconnaissance aircraft, and after visual contact, the U.S. plane "changed its course to the opposite direction, away from the Russian border," he said.

No incidents were recorded over the encounter, he said.

OT, just likes Brat's post:
Sorry, Brat, but US aggression against Iraq, Libya and Syria went much further than any Russian interference in former Soviet republics. US cannot be a judge in these matters.
 
R-500/Iskander-K footage?

Note: video title says Iskander-M but that is the short range hypersonic missile. This looks like the long-ranged cruise missile.

I think your text is erratic, but video interesting; it's related to the recent test at
