The video showcases the intense and rigorous training programs of various elite military forces around the world, including:
1. US Navy SEALs: Candidates must be under 28, pass a 6-month training program, and endure "Hell Week," which includes severe physical tests with minimal sleep.
2. US Marine Corps: Soldiers train in underwater survival, escaping a flooded cabin, and emergency situations like a helicopter crash.
3. Chinese Special Forces: They play a version of "hot potato" with a live grenade and undergo training in extreme conditions.
4. South Korean Military: Joint exercises with the US military involve simulating a North Korean invasion, training in cold climates, and practicing marksmanship.
5. Taiwanese Special Forces: They undergo a grueling test called the "Road to Paradise," which includes crossing a 50-meter strip of sharp rocks and coral fragments without protection.
6. Vietnamese Police and Military: They train in breaking concrete blocks with their bodies and develop physical strength, courage, and pain tolerance.
7. Thai Military: They participate in the "Cobra Gold" exercises, which involve team training, capturing poisonous snakes, and survival techniques, including eating live scorpions and snake blood.
These training programs push soldiers to their limits, testing their physical and mental endurance, and preparing them for extreme situations.
