I think the drum makes sense in this particular situation. Usually if you're a bodyguard you're more often the target of ambush rather than being the one initiating the firefight. Having drums ready to go mean that you can just unload a tonne of cover fire should something happen and give yourself some room to breathe for a moment since you start on the defensive. Obviously its a pain to carry a loaded drum all day long but idk it seems like it is worthwhile. Disclaimer: I'm not in the military or anything but this is just what makes sense in my mind.

Im from Serbia, we have few words same as Russians. "Zaslon" on Serbian for example means "cover" (something you take when taking enemy fire).

@DenOfTen

11 ай бұрын

Zaslon in Russian means the same thing. Depending on its use, the meaning of the word changes. It can be a cover, it can be a group that is a cover, etc. And to be more precise, this word means the Overlap of something. As for example, a sheet of metal inside the pipe completely covering it. Simply put, in this case, these are people standing like an iron dome between the enemy and the one who needs to be protected.

Great video, you guys do a great job

This is just one of their many roles. Zaslon is black ops unit, similar to the CIA’s Special Activities Center’s (Formerly Special Activities Division) Special Operations Group (SOG), or the French DGSE’s (French Foreign Intelligence Agency) Action Division. All these units do not wear national insignia during their operations, for plausible deniability reasons, and do missions that we will never know existed. Units like these are called upon when a country wants to do a job that it doesn’t want to be officially connected to. There missions are confidential, they aren’t official employees of the government, on paper or otherwise they do not exist. There deaths are also not acknowledged.

Just as a thought based on some of my experience working alongside DoS and DoD. I would compare this unit very roughly to the U.S. State Department DSS MSD (Diplomatic Security Service Mobile Security Deployments), which are usually 9-man teams made up of DSS special agents. At least from the training and application these two sound incredibly similar. Just food for thought!

@Mauro Mejias I'm actually fluent in Russian and am more than well aware of who the Spetsnaz are. However I would argue you are the one who is not well informed, anyone with a with a military background (like myself) can tell you there is no "one size fits all" military unit out there and "elite" is a very overused term. Every special forces unit in every military has different branches and sections designed to handle situations differently. For the U.S. I would compare the concept of "Spetsnaz" to SOCOM as a whole, where you have many sub branches with different specialties and qualities. The connection here is that the U.S. diplomatic corps, unlike Russia, is completely separate of the military (Department of State versus Defense) I've actually had the privilege of working for both. So unlike Russian the U.S. DoS cannot use military assets for protection and has its own DoS paramilitary unit. However this unit is typically comprised of former members of "Tier 1" teams, typically cherry picked from SOCOM units, say way the CIA picks the same candidates for their GRS teams. So to argue that because they are paramilitary means they are less in quality is simply untrue. Not to mention the "crash and bang" course that DoS uses for training is in Quantico at the FBI academy, I got to train there and it's the same place teams like MARSOC go to train as well. Not sure what your connection to the SEALs is here too, again if you watched the video you would understand their mission isn't fighting in wars, it's diplomatic protection. Meaning you don't conspicuously go looking for a fight, you are best avoiding one but being ready for one. Either way, hope you learned something new. I enjoyed the vid and comparing what I work with on the American side to our counterparts in other countries and respecting them for the dedication they put into their craft.

@Mauro Mejias lol what in the hell are you talking about man 😂 you are seriously confusing reality with movies. The CIA GRS's number one job is to secure CIA assets and members overseas, you're randomly comparing them to cartel members? The GRS are highly trained government contractors hand picked from SOCOM teams, not random cartel gangbangers. Besides I was referring in my comment to DSS security staff, who actually aren't contractors but all full time government employees. I was literally trying to draw a parallel between the DSS and SVR "Zaslon", not sure what trip you're on.

love those 104s, i have a draco somewhat like that. howd you get the tailhook to interface with the stkbr. from what i've read russian sf units esp urban ones believe the 7.62x39 to be superior for urban ops. same reason gign uses the cz bren in 7.62x39. also you can switch to subs for quiet work. i personally find it to be less harsh shooting and being around in general even with a bigass brake being a lower pressure round. 5.56 with a brake is just cancer.
