Thanks for the heads-up. I just set my DVR to record it on Charter Channel 111.

"Thanks for the heads-up"

you are welcome

"I just set my DVR"

Grrrr I do not have a DVR or Tivo or any of that new fangled recorder stuff. I have a VCR somewhere, I think, and today I am attending an airsoft force on force seminar so will likely not be able to see the show until one of the later showings and with my crazy hours may miss the show completely. Hope that it turns out to be a good show, there is no telling what material they (discovery channel) use and what they keep for later different shows. Oh well, it is all good and I rarely mind not being up to date on TV and such.

Same here! I also noted an Israeli Commandos episode is coming up soon, so I set that to be recorded too, just-in-case.

I posted about it on FMAT; it showed up on MT here.

Shoot I missed it! I will have to watch closely for reruns.

You shouldn't have to wait long Brian, it was on 3 times yesterday so I'm sure you'll catch it.

Does anyone know if this has been posted on youtube or anything? I've looked around bit but no luck, I've only found the Go Warrior! one which is good but old now.

I missed this, is there anywhere I can see it?

Here is a link to the first part:

From here you should be able to find the rest of the episode.

The show focused mainly on Russian firearms and had very little in the way of subject matter experts there were a few, but not many. Still it was entertaining and it was nowhere near as bad as the episode focusing on the U.S. Army Rangers.

I posted about this episode here on FMAT. They mentioned rukopashka boi, sambo, and systema. Mikhail Ryabko and Vlad Vasiliev are seen.

Actually speaking of the weaponolgy series, were any of them any good? It honestly seemed like they went out and found a bunch of guys who thought whatever group was awesome and had them talk about it as opposed to actually finding real experts who were members of said groups.
