A Russian soldier earned accolades after she walked through a minefield while testing an explosive-proof suit as bombs blew up around her.
The test, which was videotaped and posted on YouTube, shows the woman striding through the area as loud explosions are detonated around her, so close sometimes that she looks as if she has gone up in flames.
Her white suit turns to black as fire and smoke swirled around her.
At the end of the video she removes her mask, swings her blonde hair in the air and then salutes after someone hands her a bouquet of flowers. Take a look.
She looked like she was having a blast. (Can I get a rim shot?)
Dmitry Rogozin, who is the Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister, was so impressed by her bravery that he wrote on his Facebook page, “Если у нас такие девчонки, представьте, что за парни у нас.” Really!
Roughly translated, Rogozin said “If we have that kind of girl, imagine what the guys are like.”
He also compared the woman to the Terminator, the cyborg assassin who traveled from the future to the past in the movie of the same name, saying the character couldn’t hold a candle to the “girl testers of the military industrial complex of Russia.”
Shows of might are nothing new for the country of Vladimir Putin who earlier this month staged quite a show for American forces when its military fighter jets buzzed a Navy destroyer and then mocked U.S. officials who expressed their displeasure.
The fire-proof suit was developed by the Central Research Institute of Precision Machine Building for Russian Armed Forces, according to Yahoo.
