Stupid, nay idiotic stance, IMO. But it seems to work for them.

"When the traffic lights changed ?green¦ and turned ?yellow¦ on, a red LADA car pulled up and nervously stopped at the ?zebra¦ in one of the main
Spetsnaz trooper fires the BIZON submachine gun
streets in Izhevsk. At the same instant, another car with a driver and two passengers stopped to the left of LADA. One could hardly say "Mike" when
two armed men, with their guns ready for action, jumped out the second vehicle and attacked LADA. They swung the front door open and, shouting the
usual warnings and commands, dragged the criminal out from the seat, searched his body and legs, and quickly pushed into the rear seat of their
vehicle. One of the operators, dressed like a typical office guy in a snow-white collar shirt, dark trousers and a pair of Italian model shoes, with
the Stechkin automatic pistol in the hand, quickly took the seat near the detainee. The door slammed closed, the car revved up and whipped a U-turn.
The second operator, clad in camouflage pants, a sweat shirt and black leather boots, armed with the BIZON submachine gun, jumped into LADA and
followed the first car, leaving a dozen astonished witnesses behind, on the sidewalk-
The green light turned on. The traffic resumed its usual motion.
The whole operation lasted less than 40 seconds.
No shooting in the streets of a city, no blood- Smooth and quick - the way the SPESNAZ profis work."

SPEZNAS meet no opposition these days....if they want smthng done, it'll get done, no matter what.
lucky the ukraine isnt part of the U.S.S.R anymore
statistics show that the average russian soldier is able to withstand 40-60% more pain than a marine
as for the israeli combattants....lol, i doubt they'd even be compared, it is rumoured that recruitment proves the hardest task of all, since you'll
find most israeli teenagers pissing their pants too scared to hold up a weapon.
