@@henryhunter4227 they wouldnt risk it. Most likely FORMER Zaslon or Omom or Sobr or Fsb alpha so they can say its a "mercenary company"
@@halzan7467 ya your probably right
I remember reading a while back that people suspected these guys dropped into Baghdad ahead of the US invasion army to secure documents and personnel that the Russians didnt want the americans to find.
They did
What secrets ?

The MOST SECRETIVE GROUP IN RUSSIA....
.. here's a CZcams video.
5 minutes, probably the first one about them.
@@sill5876 they ain't all that secretive, they just have a very specific application. He starts out all comparing them to kgb but they really arnt a foreign intelligence, at least only as far as they need to do their job which obviously might involve foreign intelligence.
@@sill5876 Nope some if the footage on this video directly comes from a Documentary that Russia-24 TV programme made about them. This is not their first video about them
The most secretive tier1 operators in Russia that have may or may not have any experience besides training or any successful operations across the world. And this is why Russia has the current economic problems that they have today .
@@erikjimenez8671 You know absolutely nothing about SVR operations. SVR have had alot of experience in Syria recently. Russia has multiple elite special forces units with alot of experience like Alpha Group and the SSO
Now I understand why there is a Full green uniform in Tarkov called Zaslon that you can unlock at very high level
It all makes sense now
Escape from larpov?
Lol. Gamers.
@@paulferris8180 Lol. Airsofters
TARKOV REFERENCE!!!??? COOL CHEEKI BREEKI LARP RUSSIAN GAME!! ITS SOOOO COOOOOL
0:59 doing it to em
Classic
I think the drum makes sense in this particular situation. Usually if you're a bodyguard you're more often the target of ambush rather than being the one initiating the firefight. Having drums ready to go mean that you can just unload a tonne of cover fire should something happen and give yourself some room to breathe for a moment since you start on the defensive. Obviously its a pain to carry a loaded drum all day long but idk it seems like it is worthwhile. Disclaimer: I'm not in the military or anything but this is just what makes sense in my mind.
Yep, and the use of drum mags has been seen in other countries agencies/militaries tasked with similar duties. IIRC there was a picture of Dutch officers with PMAG D60s while escorting a gold convoy
Hello , I served in military intelligence (analog of the army special forces).Usually 2-3 people from the group took the drums as a disposable magazine (shot and thrown away) . This is needed for suppressive fire and further cover while others reload and occupy more advantageous positions.
*gets shot at*
B r r r r r r t
they're pretty bad though not gonna lie, I've had a 75 round drum in 762 and a 50 round 9mm drum for a glock that I ran in a 19 and a bm9 pistol had a single malfunction with both but ran them quite a few times, just wouldn't trust my life to one of them would rather run standard or factory mags an carry a few more, just practice reloards.
@@masonarmand8988 those glocc drums are Korean trash fr, military issued drums are much better quality, but yes they're still not as reliable as a standard 30rd mag
Its amazing, that dude, who live not in Russia, know more about Russian special forces than me, who live in Russia
Get a knock on the door yet ?
@@bibekjung7404 shup 😎
Funny.
Greetings from rural Tennessee.
this guy doesn't live in russia? that's new
You're simply ignorant then, because it's all very public knowledge.
Great stuff as always. I know your focus isn't exactly on history, but it'd be interesting to hear more about operations Zaslon has been involved in. Something along the lines of the evacuation of the Russian embassy in Kabul in 1992, but in a more recent context i.e. Syria. Just a thought.
We don't really know their history, nobody does. Try the article I helped write in the pinned comment.
@@Oxide_does_his_best Thanks. I'll give it a read.
@@blrdgg6571 *In Kabul, the Zaslon was guarded only by the Russian Embassy, the 45th Special Forces Regiment of the Russian Airborne Forces conducted the rescue operation! ;-)*

Only works when everyone is involved equally.

1:10 gotta laugh at the failed indexing of the drum mag😂. Happens to the best of us!
Do it all the time with my C308
I don't care what anyone says, Oxide has a museum of gear.
3:25 seems like Grip Clamp C™
by Polenar Tactical is actually working lmao
This type of grip is used alot when leaning against a barrier and such, this isn't the polenar version either xd
Very effective barrier hold for a rifle depending on position.
I think the Grip Clamp C only applies when shooting unsupported. A real grip clamp C operator would never compromise the stability of the grip clamp C by pressing their rifle into a barricade smh smh
"Pump action shotgun"
If you’re running an optic it’s good, not with ak irons though
I really like these type of videos where you basically tell us about a special force, and meanwhile we can look at these beautiful loadouts. Keep doing these videos!! :D
For those wondering about the music used in this video:
1. Xenonauts OST - Geoscape 3
2. Half-Life Opposing Force - Bust
Thanks man, I hate that he doesn't always say what tracks he uses
That internal tourniquet system is really interesting.
The guy struggling to put the drum in @1:10 lol
Very elite group 😂
@@matikhorasani3842 this is oxide and his friends not Zaslon operatives lol
Don't tell me u didn't get it. They are airsofters. Tennage skinnyass airsofters.
There is not a single video of Zaslon. And they are all commisoned officers.
One of Russia's Vice-Premiers and later the Head of the Space Agency posted a picture with Zaslon in his social media. And was kindly asked to delete it. Which he did.
Because it was supposed to be a major leak for Zaslon.
That drum fumble haha... happens everytime on camera, I understand.
I can't begin to describe how good production quality is. I love the innovation in the camera angles.
the production quality of your videos have been getting insane
the production quality of your videos just keep getting better and better
thanks for the quality content!
This guy did it again, a good interesting video (sadly short) and full of info and links, wonderful work Oxide
I didn’t even expect this
cool video about a unit i've never heard of. Definitely looking forward to seeing how those vests perform.
imagine the next tarkov map has 10 zaslon goons for a VIP boss, they would crush the entire map with just the makarovs
damn fr they just like me
And there armour would be nuts
as if the game wasn't unfair enough
2:41 - that Grip Clamp C™!!
Your content is never boring, keep it up.
The drums are used to react to contact and suppress while they move any personnel they would be protecting, plenty of US diplomatic security guys running surefire 60 rd magazines
These typa videos are so dope, as well as the rest of them haha. So glad I came across your channel.
I freakin love this channel. All these tactical gear videos are amazing. Super informative.
Thank you Oxide, very cool!
Pretty neat seeing how far you've come from those old war thunder montage days.
This guy loves Muslims
@@AB-gc3mr what's wrong with that
That Sand D2 got me thinking unwise thoughts.
Great vid. Not sure how this one slipped past me when it was first uploaded, but I'm glad I finally watched it.
Every loadout video you upload makes me want to do a new kit, great vid homie
truly epic
I’d recognize that music anywhere...
... and I can’t think of anything more fitting than the Xenonauts OST for this video.
Just found your channel, fucking love it. Subbed! Looking forward to what comes out and enjoying the back catalog. Thankyou for the excellent content.
Love these loadout videos !
These Russians have really dope and interesting stuff.
Made in America
@@jekkfractal5164 if it works it works.
@@jekkfractal5164 He said they specialize in espionage operations. Of course they would want to look like NATO operators at first glance or afar.
@@jekkfractal5164 the only things made in America they have is the plate carrier
@@jekkfractal5164 lol they use gears that are typically made locally. Got nothing to do with made in America, as if they only use American products
We call them "Слоны", which stands for Elefants :D
Why are they called elephants?
@@thepopeshat8029 Cause the group is called "Заслон" - While Elephant is just "Слон"
@@nicksonassailant8480 I think they might have been asking for the reason behind why they are called elephants
Tactical Shinobi the reason has been given. If you still don’t understand, an equivalent could be Navy Special Forces being called “squids”
@@shinobitactics "СЛОН" (SLON) means elephant and they are called "заСЛОН" ("zaSLON) so they call them elephants because they have word elephant in their name. That is what I understood that this guy said, if you get what I mean.
thanks for the amazing quality video!
Friend, thank you for your efforts !!!
Imagine the stories such special forces operatives have that they are never able to tell. I wish their stories were recorded now and then declassified years later.
In 50 years,cause that’s when secret files of operations can be published
Im from Serbia, we have few words same as Russians.
"Zaslon" on Serbian for example means "cover" (something you take when taking enemy fire).
Zaslon in Russian means the same thing. Depending on its use, the meaning of the word changes. It can be a cover, it can be a group that is a cover, etc.
And to be more precise, this word means the Overlap of something. As for example, a sheet of metal inside the pipe completely covering it. Simply put, in this case, these are people standing like an iron dome between the enemy and the one who needs to be protected.
@@DenOfTen
"Заслон" even on Google Translate (Ru-En) is:
cover, barrier, backstop, ...
😆
@@randomargument972 Actually an interesting word, meaning and similar in meaning to dozens of other words.
@@randomargument972 Probably this is why Slavic languages are difficult. That even one comma affects the whole meaning of the sentence.
@@DenOfTen a single comma in english can also change the meaning of a sentence :
"lets eat grandma"
"lets eat, grandma"
see what i mean? this is not unique among slavic language
Excellent video! Fascinating unit
Great vid editing, specifically enjoyed the camera shake on firearm discharges.
This is just one of their many roles. Zaslon is black ops unit, similar to the CIA’s Special Activities Center’s (Formerly Special Activities Division) Special Operations Group (SOG), or the French DGSE’s (French Foreign Intelligence Agency) Action Division. All these units do not wear national insignia during their operations, for plausible deniability reasons, and do missions that we will never know existed. Units like these are called upon when a country wants to do a job that it doesn’t want to be officially connected to. There missions are confidential, they aren’t official employees of the government, on paper or otherwise they do not exist. There deaths are also not acknowledged.
love those 104s, i have a draco somewhat like that. howd you get the tailhook to interface with the stkbr. from what i've read russian sf units esp urban ones believe the 7.62x39 to be superior for urban ops. same reason gign uses the cz bren in 7.62x39. also you can switch to subs for quiet work. i personally find it to be less harsh shooting and being around in general even with a bigass brake being a lower pressure round. 5.56 with a brake is just cancer.
💜 keep up the great work
This is amazing content, I can't believe I'm only finding your channel now. Thanks youtube suggestions I guess!
You make it so difficult to stave off my inner slavaboo
Am I the only one who gets occasionally unsubbed from papa Oxide?
No it's happening to me too
i have the same problem
Admit it - you unsub when watching while piss drunk and get fury attack out of jealousy for not having that much cool gear
@@Olson323 haha 😐 shut the fuck up
Everything remotely pro-Russian on this site gets either banned, censored or forcefully the accounts unsubbed
Great video, you guys do a great job
Thanks for covering this
Next video: PMC “WAGNER" Loadout pls
Wagner is honestly super inconsistent when it comes to kit. While you might see them with 5.45 based guns in Ukraine, they’re using nothing but old AKMs in CAR 🇨🇫. Pretty sure it’s cause they source a lot of equipment from wherever they operate
i know he already did sobr but the tricked out pkm's they run are sick, dudes run them like battle rifles basically, would be cool if he got one like that or the bullpup one they use sometimes but i bet that would be hard and expensive
@@Jm-vn7zm 762 x 39 is super easy to find and source in Africa compared to 545 or even more spicy ammo.
I live and work security in Africa. I was dumb enough to impulse buy a .300 Blackout AK100, yet have failed to find more than 10 .300 BO rounds...
Decent 556 is also difficult to find, at least in a reliable enough long term supply.
@@sebleonard8273 good luck 👍.
@@Jm-vn7zm hahaha it's fine, I bought the 300 BO AK like 3 - 4 years ago
Just as a thought based on some of my experience working alongside DoS and DoD. I would compare this unit very roughly to the U.S. State Department DSS MSD (Diplomatic Security Service Mobile Security Deployments), which are usually 9-man teams made up of DSS special agents. At least from the training and application these two sound incredibly similar. Just food for thought!
I think a better comparison would be CIA GRS teams
@Mauro Mejias I'm actually fluent in Russian and am more than well aware of who the Spetsnaz are. However I would argue you are the one who is not well informed, anyone with a with a military background (like myself) can tell you there is no "one size fits all" military unit out there and "elite" is a very overused term. Every special forces unit in every military has different branches and sections designed to handle situations differently. For the U.S. I would compare the concept of "Spetsnaz" to SOCOM as a whole, where you have many sub branches with different specialties and qualities.
The connection here is that the U.S. diplomatic corps, unlike Russia, is completely separate of the military (Department of State versus Defense) I've actually had the privilege of working for both. So unlike Russian the U.S. DoS cannot use military assets for protection and has its own DoS paramilitary unit. However this unit is typically comprised of former members of "Tier 1" teams, typically cherry picked from SOCOM units, say way the CIA picks the same candidates for their GRS teams. So to argue that because they are paramilitary means they are less in quality is simply untrue. Not to mention the "crash and bang" course that DoS uses for training is in Quantico at the FBI academy, I got to train there and it's the same place teams like MARSOC go to train as well.
Not sure what your connection to the SEALs is here too, again if you watched the video you would understand their mission isn't fighting in wars, it's diplomatic protection. Meaning you don't conspicuously go looking for a fight, you are best avoiding one but being ready for one. Either way, hope you learned something new. I enjoyed the vid and comparing what I work with on the American side to our counterparts in other countries and respecting them for the dedication they put into their craft.
@Mauro Mejias lol what in the hell are you talking about man 😂 you are seriously confusing reality with movies. The CIA GRS's number one job is to secure CIA assets and members overseas, you're randomly comparing them to cartel members? The GRS are highly trained government contractors hand picked from SOCOM teams, not random cartel gangbangers. Besides I was referring in my comment to DSS security staff, who actually aren't contractors but all full time government employees. I was literally trying to draw a parallel between the DSS and SVR "Zaslon", not sure what trip you're on.
@Mauro Mejias I'm not the media as I've made clear, but okay thanks for sharing guy.
Beautiful video m8!
Good info man, thanks!

Hey bro love the video, watched a lot of your content but couldn’t help but to put my 5 cents in. The aperture you are shooting through are primarily taught to shoot without having the barrel/muzzle protruding through
Thanks for letting us see a glimpse of how Russia’s most secretive operators operate. You are great!
@that scaucy man 2.0 right! I totally thought that since they said secretive we should not be allowed to see anything at all! I Thank you for pointing out the difference in those two similar words there I truly appreciate that!
all I know is that they are good at killing and supporting their killers with medical stuff, tactics and so on. I am just glad they are able to share what clothing and supplies help them get through their missions. Either way if there really is “top secret stuff” chances are the tech used is way above everything I ever seen.
Too bad your actor couldn’t seat the drum mag. Lmao
Is he saying 'prelvant' instead of prevalent
yes
Never stop making these
Great Video.
Would love to see more about Zaslon.
What kind of chest-rig and belt setup is visible at around 1:44? I have also seen the reference picture on the article and was wondering what how to set up one for myself.
Damn, that Xenonauts music theme is good.
It is great ambient music. Halfway through the video I thought, "wait, this is Xenonauts music."
