The columnist of the Popular Mechanics publication was amazed at the readiness of the special forces of the two countries to overcome any obstacles, including passing through "rings of fire" on the obstacle course.
Moreover, such exercises are not practiced in the NATO armed forces.
"Jumping through a flaming hoop or moving through a flaming tunnel seems more like a demonstration of personal bravery or an act of dedication," the newspaper RG quotes the publication.
The Surkhandarya region of Uzbekistan, where the Termez training ground is located, borders immediately with Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and therefore the military of the two countries trained in repelling the offensive of militants from different directions.
In the ground operation, the fire interaction of tanks, artillery and shock-assault detachments was practiced to clean up settlements. About 1.5 thousand soldiers and officers, as well as up to 200 units of weapons, were involved in the exercises of the hundreds of Uzbekistan and Russia.
