Certain aspects of this video are not P.R. Look at how quickly they get out of the IL-76 (or whatever it is), and the planks of their assault course. Shame about the berets (which only the Canadians (and perhaps the Australians) have learnt to do properly) and ‘karate’ stuff. No conservation of ammunition though (although that’s probably just to make the film look nice).
 
 
 
 
Quite nice propaganda really....
