LRRP are a specialized unit, but that is really the opposite of being special forces. LRRP are the best at LRRP, while special forces need to be able to do a wide variety of different operations. Special forces are kind of the potato of the the Armed Forces, that can be used and trusted to resolve any type of operations anywhere in the world. Saying LRRP are not special forces is not to discredit them in any way, they are highly trained at what they do, they just aren`t special forces.

To all those wondering, this is a practice with a simulated situation, and therefore there is no real ‘enemy’ to be aware of, but they try to keep the impression as if this could be the case. They are supposed to solve a task, over an unknown time/distance. They’re firing with blanks, so the weapons are real, but they won’t shoot anything ‘sharp’. Some of the faces are blurred out, and they are active people in this ‘unit’, but those who are not blurred out are retiring, and are seen in several episodes along Magnus. Magnus was invited to join the Norwegian military, and make videos with them. He tried several things, and now he joined a typical practice that The Norwegian Long Range Reconnaissance Squadron might perform. Thereby, some of the situations might seem a little odd/ weird/ unnatural, but this is just a practice, and he is joining as a viewer/ tourist, to get an insight. (Edit) I get some comments hinting that this obviously is an exercise and everybody knows it, but looking at many comments in the comment section it clearly shows that not everybody are as aware of the fact that this is an exercise.

@@saidassimkus1133 It's about athletics. AND mindset. I'm used to trips up to 4 weeks in the wilderness in Norway and I know what it's like to have packed for it - meaning this kind of backpack - and the distances to cover in that timespan. Going without food, water and sleep, is yet _another_ mindset which is completely different from "uncomfortable boots" - which you by the way should NEVER have and is the first mistake you'll ever do. But yeah everyone needs sleep, and I'm not sure about other people, but I've blacked out/fell asleep _while walking_ before. This should be avoided. Energy consumption and obtainability is something you also _have_ to be aware of. "Warrior spirit" without intelligence/wisdom/knowledge is useless in the long run. So, a bit of everything is needed. Finding water in the mountains during winter is basically impossible as well as as far down as 500 m. unless you visit some place with plumbing. You can cook snow. It taste shit. And before you ask, no, there's no point in eating snow, you spend more energy doing that than you get.

To be clear this is propaganda. It was a training mission. Their lines may well have been pre-written like a reality TV show. SF is made up of badass brave loyal dudes, no doubt, but some of these guys believe they are above the law. Polar opposite of professional. There's a long expose about seal team six, I believe it was written by The Intercept, check it out.

@@erg4943 I'm responding to "special forces are the best that humanity has to offer. It's awe inspiring to see their level of integrity and professionalism..." I don't know the level of shyte these nordic guys get into, maybe it's like being the most badass boyscout ever. But American spec ops go in because they want to be offensive warriors, they want to kill. Even regular infantry (especially marines) sign up because they wanna get in gun fights. The idea that they are a bunch of saints is ridiculous and they'd confirm this. In reality these sort of guys shoot civs all the time, for the crime of being 'a military age male' or 'holding what looked like a radio' and it's extremely rare they face any sort of repercussions for misconduct so 🤷‍♂️. Never mind that they sign up knowing full well that they're going to fight in an illegal war and their enemy poses zero threat to the US.

Although I was not Tier 1 Special Forces like these fellows, living in and operating within Canada means that we have to train to be able to overcome obstacles put in our way to achieve the Objective given to us.
