7 completely insane military training

1. China

The country maintains a military force of almost 1.5 million recruits, but being part of that contingent is not an easy task. Soldiers must complete a course with 17 obstacles, including swimming, climbing and jumping over the fire! In addition, you must have an apnea of ​​at least 1 minute - that is, if the soldier tries to get his head out of the water before that time, his commander will sink it mercilessly.

2. Russia

The process to enter the elite of the Russian army lasts 5 years. The first semester, completely isolated, aims to “hold” only the toughest in training. After that, however, is when the beating begins. The “good” part is that it is the recruits themselves who select which commander to train with - not that it makes anything easier.

3. Australia

Australian soldiers undergo cruel training to endure torture, which includes bags on the head to lower oxygen and slaps on the back of the neck if any signs of fatigue appear. Not to mention, of course, that all this time the soldier is naked in a cell. An alarming fact is that more people died during training in Australia than on the battlefield itself.

4. United States

SEALs make up the most respected elite army in the world - so it is to be assumed that their training is not a breeze. In the early days of a total of 30 months of training, recruits go through Hell Week: they sleep only 4 hours a day, roll in the mud, are deprived of food and constantly cursed by their superiors. Only 1 in 4 soldiers can complete this first stage of the long preparatory process.

5. Israel

Considered one of the best anti-terrorist armies in the world, Israel's Shayetet 13 has very severe training. They are 20 months of pre-training in which only the best can finish, and are further divided by developed specialties: they will be grouped into air, marine and terrestrial platoons. A near-zero visibility dive test in frozen water is a routine for these soldiers.

6. South Korea

A 10-day snow training at temperatures down to -22 degrees Celsius is part of the selection process to become part of the elite of the South Korean army. They need to do pushups and fight each other under these almost subhuman conditions. Ah, being a black belt in taekwondo is a prerequisite for candidates.

7. United Kingdom

Running 5 kilometers in clothing up to 25 kilograms is part of the basic training for soldiers who want to be part of the British Army elite - it is worth noting that the last 400 meters are performed in a great climb ... And of course they have a maximum time to accomplish such a task: just 48 minutes! Do you think you could afford it?
