These are some of the most insane and brutal military drills in the World.
Road to heaven
The “Road to Heaven” test, which is the final stage of a nine-week intensive Amphibious Training Program, requires trainees to execute various exercises and leopard crawl along a 50-metre-long path that is littered with jagged corals and rocks.
Chinese Soldiers Play Pass the Grenade
In it, the soldiers stand around a hole and each of them takes the grenade in both hands and hands it to the next soldier. The last soldier to hold it must make sure it falls into the hole as they all leap for safety, covering their heads, and the grenade explodes.
U.S. Navy SEALs
The path to becoming a Navy SEAL has to go through “Hell Week,” one of the most insane collections of training pain we’ve ever heard of.
Drinking cobra blood (U.S. Marines)
Gone are the days when a few push-ups and an assault course proved a soldier’s worth. U.S. Marines now drink cobra blood and rip the heads off chickens with their bare teeth as part of their training.
Sub-Zero South Korean Army Training
The military drill is part of South Korea’s army winter training session in which troops shower each other in snow, plunge into deep icy water and patrol through snow on skis.
Testing balance by walking over fires (Belarus Red Berets)
Servicemen from the Belarus Interior Ministry’s Special Unit are undoubtedly tough guys. To prove exactly how tough they are, and to be accepted into the ministry’s elite Red Berets, they have to go through a battery of tests on an extreme course.
Brutal training of Spetsnaz
Back to the cold and brutal winters of Eastern Europe for the insane pain training that’s required of soldiers in the Spetsnaz, the Russian special forces group known as some of the most fearsome soldiers on Earth. Knowing how to deal out pain is important in wartime, but it’s just as important to be able to take it.
