What an unmitigated cluster-semprini. Lol the repeated failure of the Sniper team/ Guardsmen though. You deploy the 60 guardsmen as a security perimeter, protecting the peasants, and send the few competent hunters out as a maneuver element. IMHO, the scenario in the article you linked is worthy of being taught in MS221 alongside the Custer Massacre.
The bear sounds Russian to me.

Few things as terrifying as a man hunting bear with a taste for human.

Few things as terrifying as a man hunting bear with a taste for human. The Mysore bear was arguably more disturbing as it's claws are actually relatively dull and it's a smaller bear, Just pure savagery and aggression. Ripped peoples chests open. If your ticket is about to be punched by a bear, pray it's done by the largest, most overpowering beast possible. Best death by an animal would be getting stomped on by the largest dinosaur in history.

Dang, never heard of this but it's interesting for sure. Kinda reminds me of how arctic research expeditions like the MOSAiC one in 2019 have guards armed with .308 battle rifles and trained specifically to fire a single warning shot at polar bears that get too close, and if they charge, fire a shot into the chest just below the head and hopefully kill it as humanely as possible with a single shot to the heart. The news article I read said the guards were armed with German AR-10 battle rifles, the Haenel CR308 specifically, and the guard interviewed had never had to shoot a bear, and hadn't heard of any other guard on other expeditions having to do so either, but they were trained specifically to deter or kill polar bears as quickly and humanely as possible.

I looked into it, very interesting and also that is quite the set up on it, magnifier for the red dot and everything. Yeah, super high end setup, that rifle costs over 3000 euros alone, and I've seen pics of the guards with NVG at night. What's interesting is the very limited capacity magazine in a rifle that seems to be the 12" law enforcement and military only version.
