From the sound of it, they're the 76th Paratroopers Division, the same one the BBC recently did a week-long news feature about concerning their conversion to kontrakniki and doctrinal modernization.

I also think that they're paratroopers. I thought that after John Bunnell said it five seconds into the video.

Didn't these kids stomp the living bejeezus out of Chechnya and Georgia? See, hazing works!

And here I was impressed that I recognized their uniforms. After watching so many of these shows I guess John Bunnell's voice has sort of turned into a gentle white noise that no longer registers in my mind.

Have you ever tried holding a chair in front of you with straight arms? It starts to hurt like hell after only a few seconds.

In our unit we often did this using our rifles. No beatings, fortunately.

Yeah if you leave out the beatings this is just about exactly what the US military does in boot camp.
