Russian SWAT Video
« on: May 31, 2011, 02:18:51 PM »
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1cfkErlSMY

At the 10 second mark you'll see a guy come running up to the bus with a white stick in his hands... and then it's WTF time.  Apparently this white stick is some kind of explosive, and the bus goes boom with him not possibly more than 10' from it all.

I'm hoping somebody here can make sense of this, because if this is "Plan A" I don't wanna know what "Plan B" is.

In before Micro or some other Russian expert tells us they aren't "Spetsnaz" and are OMON. Police/Militia or whatever... Yes, we get it.  =D

I've seen this clip before. It's supposed to be a breaching/distraction charge, but was obviously er... "overspec".

But seriously, it's not as if Americans were immune either.

This isn't Russia. IIRC, this is Kazakhstan.

The story behind it is that this was a show for the brass. When those things happen they try to go all Hollywood and make it pretty to impress the generals and visiting figureheads. The techs who rigged the bus got a little carried away.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Failure to hold on tightly to tube.  Launch was sucessful and big puff of smoke across the valley confirms warhead went all asplodey as designed.

Well, apparently the real failure was that the Russian police/military/whoever that pumped the Fentanyl gas into the theater would not tell the EMT's on scene what the gas was, so appropriate countermeasures could be given. Some Narcan/Naloxone would have saved most all of them.

As someone on a Russian police forum who posted about this said, 'I do not know anything scarier than a police demolitionist saying "I'll make it pretty."' Epic tales of 'pretty' follower.

In vid 2, the flash-bang or explosive device was on the same side of the door as the cops. Mistake or plan, I don't know, but they had a piss poor reaction, even if it was training.

That's when a soldier is supposed to pick it up and run screaming at the enemy armor with it raised over his head, ready to bonk the nose of it on the frontal armor of the closest advancing MBT.
