the russian paratroop regiment is nobody. will push you harder than you've ever been pushed in your life. they say once upon. a many of the conscripts like. that's all. you want to. dress right. dress right. attention. and hand

combat maneuvers on my count by division. one. three. four my new regiment. heavily focused on combat training and every day we're out on the square learning our own fighting drills at the moment we work individually but it won't be too long before we're facing off against each other. it's the elite. station a real man has to be ahead of everyone to be the best or the one i think that the paratroopers of the greatest. just like him to learn everyone is assigned various responsibilities each day i'm back to see although this time i'm at the front of the base rather than in the barracks. was to get you to god for the control point reason for your visit returning to base your

documents. security is paramount every vehicle that drives up has to be thoroughly checked even our own trucks nobody takes any chances here it's only also we've looked into every nook and cranny that they're allowed on the base. i'm not sure whether it's the benefit of experience but everyone seems more confident here and it's a good thing because a live fire exercises are about to be ramped up it's a tough job for the man in charge. and sometimes i get tired of ordering people it happens from time to time the guys don't obey me but i was given the task of commanding the company and i have to do it well so in any case i'll remember this time with a smile it was tough sometimes but everything will be fine i'm sure we'll do our military duty. today the war games really got started

we were assaulting a hill with full support. machine going to go first second is private brown private brown after him the squad leader your next and you bring up the rear beside the vehicle everyone mind your distance to look around to check your comrades and remember you're using live ammunition so you. life depends on following the safety procedures so the man you have to come back safe and sound up any questions no sir. i was crouched in the bottom of the boiling hot tank there's barely room to breathe let alone move. and then just like that you're out running. into position.

all six months called spread out and headed to our places. we were moving in a race of knots run crouch and follow up but you've got to make sure the right person is in your sights stop. these i mean right in front of you and you got too close to each other to shoot when you're behind someone number one go. heading downhill it's a nightmare just staying on your feet. when the tank in the grenade launcher open up alongside you it does tend to push you forward. by the time we hit the boat some my legs were in agony so i tumbled into my foxhole

i don't think i could have taken another step. we get around. to ourselves and at least there's a t.v. room where we can chill out most of the time i just use it to recover or to write to you of course but there's always someone new to chat with. stupid what was the hardest moment for you is this here in the army. probably all the for. training apart from some drills like marching drills jumping isn't easy either. for the army have you decided what you want to do you know i'm studying at university and want to find a good job and be the best in my field of logistics if possible i'd like to stay in the army as a contractor because they pay well now and allow you to do external studies. in the dormitory is like being in a five star hotel you sleep so much better when you have to deal with two other

people snoring. how you james good are you going up special. and i'm going to need all the energy i can get. we've been building up to. most of the time we're working on shadow boxing and invasive maneuvers. with a straight and you. attention i get ready. to speak. with you all right. it's time to pick up. scrapping. because eventually you're going to have to put on the gloves and the head gear and the hell out of each other. i've got.

to. defend. just missed my last to see about twenty years ago i'm going to have to remember. in the mean time i was taking on one of the mountain regiments challenges. the whole thing is a hellish. jumping. and shooting with no chance of a break. the

idea is to train you to overcome extreme conditions whether you're walking along ledges. james move. learn the ways you're gone. faster leaping down canyons you want your friends by clear of any oncoming enemy. at this paratroopers obstacle course must be crossed by a division as a whole it means that the success of the filling tasks doesn't depend on a single soldier but on cooperation between soldiers of this division. cover a char. with

each soldier polish as the skills he had acquired before coming here from their own units so we improve what they had already learned before as you can see soldiers manage this obstacle course well. does the divisions work in coordination. move. it's things like this that make you realize just how fit the power tripping needs to be a go to the club you will have nothing left to give. a look you're grabbing at wrong. take it like that there's a hole if you see your fingers like that push closer to the rock feel it lie on. your right leg there. stand up and straighten it and you know the come on come on try harder to the end. the

blue hold come on. discuss. it's too hard. i can't have no more strength so. more almost a goal of course ends here with this climbing wall if you fail to do your task here you let the whole group down his life and his life depend on you you must cooperate and if one of you fails it means all of you fail. right use your head you have to think right now is the time when you think hire fire. go there e.r. . keep going back an excellent. that's it was. great. brownlow to come on.

but is one for a little for one here there's always someone there to help you get through. come on there's not much left. to come on come on do it yourself. come on well done stuff. well done. it's done a good job joy isnt it. but you've got a satisfactory result i'm pleased with here the task is complete you've done well i've got nothing to say excellent well who. you want to be had better come or chip is vital in the army we try to build a good team spirit make

a friendly atmosphere i help you today tomorrow you help me and if you couldn't get through the fence today and you got stuck i helped tomorrow i could fail to when god forbid injured myself and you'll help me that's what's important to me army friendship and a close knit team in situations like this real team spirit reveals itself you can see straight away who's your friend who's not. training in the really prepare you for an actual fight. true to the bigger they are the harder they fall. don't touch the headgear ok no grabbing him no hits to the growing. best nothing will if anything happens. break off immediately. already again.

i wonder ok. james they were right. pretty. well pretty. new and no really no. please. but i suspect. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy correct albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of

our government and our crafts difficult we've been hijacked why handful of transnational corporations will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built up my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america have on the books ready to join the movement then welcome to the big picture. put it on your cultural common ally should be making news polish face i think i'm getting.

a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm researcher. no i want james. faster. people. right. so let's get a soldier who has never fought never met his enemy face to face or never felt the strength of his enemy is not ready psychologically or physically to fight that is why the most important and the only possible way to overcome those fears is to practice and to spark. one thing you do in the paratroopers the

systems if you get knocked down you go to get back up again i was. going to. dive into body oh i don't i don't like the. top up stuff. you. know you go. this is well done. so that was a good lesson when you're ok. motoko a fairly basic of course. of course time to hand combat is a last resort ideally heavy artillery should make sure the enemy never gets that

place. in on time drills where out patrolling the hills almost every day. nobody wants all visit double edged swords you spread the intense heat from inside but you have to hang on for dear life you managed to inhale some air among the clouds of dust but tanks and their touristy temperature. mental and maintaining them is a full time job. and a child first we all have girlfriends we call them and feel happy and each then in three or four sometimes even five months it's like what's wrong with i've broken up with my girlfriend why she cheated on me how do you know my friends told me it happened to me too everything seemed to be fine then i called on her cell phone was off. anyway she's not the only one apparently the

army gives you women trouble. don't forget it's not too long to long coming home. we've been moved into a field camp so sadly my days of comfortable living are over there are about thirty of a searing a tent and most of our chores involved digging out the ground for the new ones to be put up. i'm spending a lot of time with my tank persued apparently they've got something special in store for me i'm not sure whether to be a warrior or not. james now we're going to drive a tank of you. courage and resolve. brace yourself to get ready ready. to get into position here. head forward and tuck your gun and. lead in the right direction of the tank.

keep your elbows close the closer you keep them below you'll be ready. let's go. congratulations you're training has been a success. there were you done it. and the more you train your soldiers the more you learn about that was. see what they can do and how they can do it you become confident in them and in yourself as well. if anything were to happen you'll sure do everything well the unit is capable of performing any time because of his

training. let us know the enemy's been identified most of the group is going to. with the objective of capturing one of the captains offices or sergeants one captain of the group. on this side so there's a clear yes. understood team. get into position by the brown smokable signal the attack you take the left flank i'll take the right. i just get used to having the tanks on my side now we have to learn how to ambush one.

of the ridge across the. fifteen vehicles. they haven't taught us interrogation techniques yet i think that must be an advanced course. one of the regular favorites here is but we eat with a chunk of can beef. but it's calories and we all empty all messed hints. despite the fact that we're living in

a muddy fields we still have to keep ourselves clean and tidy and there are a few tricks of been able to pick up. ok how do you feel altogether which i mean at the beginning was a side show initially we didn't understand each other at all of course because we were all from different cultures with different approaches to life and at first there were conflicts but in two or three weeks we got used to each other and became friends. everything's been fine since we learned to get on with people who are that's essential here. like your tunic is almost ready we only have to dry it when it's dry it'll look fine with just stamp it a bit more here so that it won't rip. off nights out lights out out lights. tomorrow i get a chance of redemption. all the training. all the pain i'm about to find if

it's been worth it. one thing's for sure it's going to be terrifying. a couple of weeks ago if you told me i'd be sitting on the tarmac waiting to jump out of an airplane loft. my last training session on the practice tower was a disaster i couldn't go through with it. i was only forty metres i'm about to try a. jumping from an illusion is worse than from an answer off the answer now if it's like jumping off a stool you just drop nothing to be afraid of but here a strong gust catches you going to just amazing footage if you think you're ready.

for let's see. we're waiting for what seems like hours eventually we get the all clear good weather's too on the horizon perfect jumping conditions. there's no backing out this time. i'm going to have people in front of me i'm behind if i don't go no one else can snow melts. the equipment checks one last time and we're ready to fly. everyone's handling it in a different way. there are guys here who jump three or four times and this has never done it before. i'm trying to think about anything roll them what's about to happen is the plane takes off. i hope i'm in for a soft landing. first

the tank goes out the back and then it's off. this is what makes the bit of a unique. guy say it's better when you can see the ground. hope the right. the moment you realize your shoes actually open must be the great speed in the world. blissful relief. with the wind direction. it's easy to lose your concentration but you still have to think about landing the wrong position could mean a broken leg or worse. take

the harness off. and actually made it for that brief moment i felt like a power trip. well probably brown now your more than just a parachute jump so you're a real paratrooper thank you very much congratulations now into position for the initiation into position for the initiation. let's do it. two three. four hundred one five hundred thirty five and three pull five hundred four father and five.

nobody but us that. way of life and no task is impossible we can make it all happen. we doesn't matter what kind of situation it is. we have to be there first and fulfill the task to make our government proud of us and this is our motto for life that's how we live. look. right don't forget to take a. break my hand. i can see why everyone says the different men off to the army some sacrifice these young soldiers have to make for me it was exhilarating agonizing heartbreaking and amazing but i won't lie i'm relieved i'm coming home.

with. technology innovation all the least developed around russia we. covered. the pledge to live was terrible they are legendary hard to make out to let you get along here there's a plug that never had sex with others make their lives let alone.

listen the i'm . melissa block. well it's the new a little more than a like these. days i think people. live . pleasure to have you with us here on our team today i'm sure.
