WTF just happened at 0:12 ???

Wait that dude bombed the bus to save the hostage how dose that work.

Reminds me of the "BOOM STICK"

Shakawkaw!! and no one cares...

This was the weirdest thing.

A charge is thrown under the bus from the far side and goes off the same time the window breacher dude hits the window with a bang stick. The window breacher then gets owned and thrown a few metres, but can be seen getting up and walking backwards off screen.

But from the looks of it, the tank would have kill off most people before the explosion ripped the bus apart!

what is the guy at 0:12 trying to do with a broom?

i think the guy who bombed the bus gets injured .. that is not what is supposed to happen

looked liked as if the hostages were expendable

Remember kids, do not hit a bus with a stick cuz it will explode
0:11 In Sovjet Russia bus hits you

the bus was wrecked, how are they suppose to save the hostages?

Also as a training exercise, wasn't that lethal to the guy 0:12 seeing the impact of the blast including those metals flying.

Lol, well the russians arent known for there finesse. This is pretty much on par, cept dude taking a nice flight through the air, for the russians military. If you think this is bad you should see a police raid.

"hostage rescue" . . . ! ?

Well, we know how the russians handle a "hostage rescue" scenario
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_hostage_crisis_chemical_agent

I think they were supose to use only blind bullets and fake bombs...
One of those soldiers might have took a real bomb instead of a fake one so the effect is more "realistic"

that's not rescueing...that's killing!

To me it looked like kill the kidnappers and silence the hostage along with them since the hostage knows to much kind of drill.

Did anyone survived this rescueing

In Soviet Russia. Hostage rescues you.

Im pretty sure thats not a hostage situation... Id say its more like some crims trying to get away and the ownage that would soon follow. - only saying that as i didn't see any 'hostages' get taken away... Only guys getting cuffed and put on the ground.

#2 it doesn't, remember what happened when russian forces tried to save hostage in a theater http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis

its pure russian way 1: destroy everything 2: sift through the ashes to figure out what was going on

#1 Hostages dead !

#1 it's a huge flashbang stick I guess, to stunt hostiles.

Exactly #12, dont mess with russians, if you take hostages, they will kill you AND the hostages

this is russian top secret weapon called 'ebashilka'

Well Americans do it better. Hostages? Civilians? Oh, you're joking! KILL'EM ALL, PALS!!!

http://www.segodnya.ua/video/14128002.html

Stupid Russians!!! Mission accomplished but all are hostage are dead

#17 You beat to it! LOL at 0:12 Only in russia

why do they keep on shooting and shooting...

US pigz behave even worse...


#25 ..this is pure hell retarded yankeez....

1:25 Translation: "Hostage rescue is popular hobby in Kazakhstan! I hope you liiike, it is nice!"

#28 -first, it's demonstration exercie
-second, to disorientate terrorists

#25 That was crazy mate.

rescuing hostages with a machine gun hammering the bus?
and then blowing the bus up?
I'm no expert but there might be better ways to rescue hostages^^

*Stun grenade* FTW

The explosion couldn't have been as big as the smoke we see. For starters the guy that "plants" the bomb runs along to the side unharmed, also ... noone lost a limb

Guy on the Radio:
Bomb the Hostages... oh w8 I Mean save! SAVE!... oh darn it not again! This is the 5th time this week and it is only tuesday.

at 0:12 the Jedi Master with powerful exploding lightsaber hits the bus

#25 WTF? That video is from an Apache attack helicopter firing on armed hostiles in Iraq who had no idea they were being targeted from long distance, not hostages needing rescue. You can see at least one AK-47 and an RPG being carried by them. Sadly there were two journalists with them who were not wearing required markings and were killed also. That was a war zone where fighting was going on right up the street from that location.

By judging the way how calm they act, explosion of buses might happen very often in Khazakstan.

#38 get your info corrected. These "hostiles" were not firing on anyone, and the AK 47 was the Journalists camera mistaken to be a gun. That was not a hot zone by any measure. The "Hostiles" were not firing on anyone. That was NOT a hotzone.

0:10 That guys staff does some serious fire damage!

#40 My info is dead-on correct. If you ever watch the entire 17 min video you will clearly see starting @ about 3:45 two men with AK-47's and one with a RPG walking down the street. They are not shooting because they think no one has seen them,but fighting had just been taking place a couple of blocks away and they were probably involved in it. The insurgents do not wear uniforms and look like any other person on the street until they pull out their weapon and kill you.
Those journalists were supposed to be wearing identifiable markings so as not to be shot-at but they were not doing so.

#25.. you forget the children in that van,, they defenately are dangarous to that chopper or the "highly trained" american forces....

just why where the twin towers hit again ?

#43 I'm sure someone as informed as you means the entire 39 minute video..........?

#42 as you said so in your own words "PROBABLY". Also, the military has itself acknowledged that the journalist's camera was mistaken for an RPG. Please do not defend the abominable act, as that only highlights inhumanity, and that is what brews hatred for our country around the world.

#(removed comment)

in some parts of the usa nearly everyone has a weapon, so they all are possible threats. please ask Hanzlik why they are not shot at with an apache

new rule of engagement: Kill first ask questions later.
At the risk of being redundant, these guys were POTENTIALLY a threat. Not to mention the children. What if these guys were also trying to protect them selves from the islamic militants. We possibly turned them against us. Next time they leave the houses guess who they'll be aiming for. When it comes to convicts, we go all out to protest against the death penalty. When it comes to "potential" threats that include children, we don't miss a beat to press the trigger. Wonder why the world hates us?

With great power comes great responsibility. I wont second guess the actions taken by the pilot and gunner but if they were people trying to get out of the war zone who had the missfortune of arming themselves and being seen with those arms then im sure there families would have been more than happy, post conflict, to assist in the insurgency that has claimed so many American lives.

You reap what you sow. If better judgement had been employed with the use of your superior technology during the initial conflict then the post action clean up might not have taken as long as it has.

Lessons learned? Probably not.

I hope never I'll never be hostage
Or at least never save by russian army

Open your eyes everyone - that is an assault not a hostage rescue. One vehicle cut the bus off and another carrying the assault team was chasing. All targets were either stunned and captured or killed.

Not sure what the scenario was - perhaps someone can translate and tell us why the targets were using a bus - probably just a cheap vehicle for demo purposes.

i wasn't counting good vs bad ppl, but all human beings present and is less over 100 (guests 'bout 40 at the beginin' by the left side of cam' man; the action fellows around 45 showing driving skills for everything elses but people transportation, tab worries not of its own brakes and heads for the truck driver who eventually stops 1st (cargo nowadays could become automated, as in cargo shippin), lil snipe trainin, resque and medical, very poor at karate (switching few often from duckin to standin, btw); plus all comments made here again on the other advertised site, a total of under 200 males less' than more' than 20-2-50 yrs, and preparing to enter the weekend. I think snot is becoming misogini'stique) yet I couldn't face more kitties and pupppies and parrots and bunjie jumpin, this weekend) max.

rescue the hostages. Dead or Alive!

Pfff.....another day at work. Amazing but deadly

Bus got BANHAMMERED!

#49 Are you prefer americans? You're welcome. Let's compare
http://wikileaks.org/

#55 I think this link is a much better comparison to how Russians "rescue" hostages than the link you keep harping on. One is a botched rescue with scores of deaths and the other is action in a combat zone, see the difference?
The US military position is explained @ #(removed comment) .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis

Oh, explanation is the best game in US army. Go ahead boy! smash 'em all? we're covering you by explanation "it's combat zone". Let's do the same in The USA, with your own people, why Iraq?

????, ??? ????????? ????? ???? ? ??? ????? ? ?????? ?????? ??????? ???????? ????? ?? ?????? !!!

0:12 CONGRATS,YOU JUST KILLED 20 HOSTAGES !

human lives are not counted in russia

Kill all the hostages. Hostage crisis solved.
