Caught my eye.
Some special Russian forces, live ammo training. Very impressive.
Is there US military equivalent to it? Have no doubt there is, right?

Just caught my eye, when I posted it. Video picture shows back of the soldier helmet, and on it, it says ЕВРЕЙ. What is JEW. Why would it?

I have no idea, but maybe they used it as the slang term "greedy" or "clever"? But seriously doubt in this case. I am at a loss why "Jew" is on the helmet.

I have no idea about the Jew thing. But that’s a next-level trust fall. Of course I maintain some questions about it.

EDIT: that didn’t translate to anything unless it’s slang. Where did you see it?

Ha ha, you need better translation engine. It is exactly what Russian for Jew is.


But, whatever the reason, I don't really care. Simply odd. Maybe he's Israeli trooper training there. They have very close ties with Israel, having so many expats in Israel. That is irrelevant.
I am back to my OP - does US military have anything of same 100% real combat training? I get it, they have highest protection level flack jackets on, but still.. it is impressive

Intentionally shoot into a buddy's armor so he will gain confidence that it works, I never heard of it. Have people down range when special forces types shoot the target next to them was said to be common in those units.

Having a tank shoot another manned armored vehicle was a training accident.

Use Google translate as it translates to Jews.

Is JEW being used as a synonym for ENEMY, as in, "THIS IS THE GUY TO AIM FOR"?

Even if he's Israeli, there would be no reason to label him JEW. Unless you have another explanation, it seems like blatant anti-Semitism to me. I can't be the only one thinking this?

How you know this is lethal ammo and not simunition rounds?

I have seen vid where there is someone hitting the shooter and disturbing him while he is firing at target near someone's face.

On the back of his helmet? With a white border around the name tag my first guess would be some sort of exercise observer/controller.
