How does the delivery take place?

For any spetsnaz, pickling takes is not just a hat, it is an indicator of a high level of training. From year to year, fighters of special forces of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Uzbekistan undergo a kind of examination in order to prove their endurance and ability to withstand any tests. Which, incidentally, is not possible for all applicants, for example, the surrender of the 2013 beret in the internal troops of Belarus was successful only for 22 out of 89 candidates.

The main purpose of the tests for obtaining a maroon beret is to identify servicemen with special personal qualities and combat skills. In addition, obtaining a maroon beret creates a stimulus for fighters to educate themselves in high volitional and moral qualities.

Preliminary test

Any military serviceman who takes military service on an appeal or contract can take an exam to receive a beret. However, he must spend at least six months in special forces, have good marks on academic subjects and receive a positive response from the command. Before the candidate can be admitted to the test by the Chairman of the Council of Craps, he must pass the preliminary qualification.

Pre-delivery for maroon beret usually takes 2-3 days before the start of the main tests. It includes running for 3 km, pulling up and the so-called "test 4x10", consisting of push-ups from the floor, resting lying down, emphasis squatting, exercises on abdominal muscles and jumping out of sitting position. All the exercises are repeated seven times.

The main test

Within one day, fighters must go through 7 stages of testing. The standards for putting on beret beret include the following tests:

1. March-throw. Depending on the commander's introductory orders, this type of test may include a whole range of different tasks (firing, overcoming various barriers and blockages, evacuation of wounded, etc.).
2. Stripe of obstacles.
3. High-speed shooting from the machine. This stage of the test tests the soldier's ability to shoot in conditions of body fatigue. To pass this test, the fighter is given no more than 20 seconds.
4. Assault the building. For this test, the fighters are given 45 seconds each.
5. Acrobatic exercises.
6. Complex of special exercises.
7. Training duel. Surrender to the maroon beret ends with a training duel lasting 12 minutes, during this time each of the candidates must compete with four partners, replacing each other.

Assessment of the passage of tests

The part in which the surrender to the beret takes place, creates a special commission. Members of the commission assess participants during each of the tests, determining whether the candidate received a "test" or not at one or another stage of the exam. Surrender to the maroon beret ends for the fighter after his first unsatisfactory evaluation. Also, a candidate may be withdrawn from the competition if three comments are made to him during the examination. Applicants who have passed all tests with positive ratings receive a long-awaited beret beret.
