Many people are aware of the tough training given to the Navy SEALs. Here is how tough does it gets. In the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL or the BUD/S class, the young SEALs are asked to do more than you can imagine. With their feet tied tightly, hands tied behind their back the SEALs have to jump in the deep side of the pool. Jump up and down twenty times, then float on the water for five minutes, reach the shallow end of the pool and make a U-turn without touching the bottom. Reach back the deep side and pick up a facemask from the floor of the pool after a front and a back summersault under water. If the ropes open up, they gotta redo it.

Belarus Interior Ministry’s Special Unit has the soldiers who have undergone the toughest tests. Normally a tough soldier would take five to six attempts to reach the Elite Red Berets Unit. From breaking into skyscrapers to performing difficult stunts, they have to clear them all. Hand to hand combat, a ten-kilometer march and a tremendously difficult assault course. These soldiers walk on the beams and their instructors fling tires and distract them with firing.
Pumping iron in the gym is not enough, tough guy. Do you think you would be able to survive any of these tests?
