As mentioned it is a company which provides training - I think they also act as the opposing force for some exercises, etc.

There was 5 or 6 Eurofighters in the area so sounds about right.
They could throw the ammo really hard?
At least it seems like she cares and is giving them the best advice she can.

Even better advice would be to run away!
I refuse to believe they are that bad. I want a second translation.

If they have no tourniquets they could at least teach the newbies how to improvise one, the tampon stuff is funny though, they don't even have bandages, imagine turning up for your first day of military duty and they tell you to ask your mothers, sisters etc for tampons, I'm honestly surprised they haven't reverted to the iconic one man has ammunition one man has rifle mantra from the battle of Stalingrad
Those Falcon 20s Draken use are pretty tidy looking jets.
EDIT: Apparently Draken call it airborne adversary support according to the Wiki and also provide a bunch of other services to the military https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draken_International
It is like something out of a parody... only it isn't :s

It is close enough - the bit where she is talking about using a tampon in a bullet wound you don't even need to understand any Russian to confirm the translation.
We learn something new every day. Hooda thunkit?
Easy. You can learn the language.
She called them boys (as little children). She has experience from another place they were causing issues in - Chechnya.

Who claimed they had a hi tech airforce? Perhaps a more apt comparison would be the huge quantities of ammunition they have... the problem with nukes is even one hitting a country is a catastrophe and Russia has over 6000 of the things.
I had heard of it before, but over the years I've heard plenty of things that weren't true. I think this article is very likely an accurate summary:
Treating Gunshot Wounds with Tampons: Myth or Fact?
“I know this guy, who knew a guy, who was a medic in the war … and he used tampons instead of trauma dressings. He swore by them, so I tried them, and they worked great, so now I won’t …

Short summary - sort of yes in the past, no in the present. If someone has been shot from close to maximum range by a bullet from an early 19th century gun with a low muzzle velocity and poor bullet flight characteristics and they were hit solely in a fleshy part of their body, the wound might just be a cylindrical hole. Maybe. A dressing that looks like a tampon but is more absorbent might be a useful emergency measure to slow down how fast they lose blood. Maybe. But not even the Russian army is using weapons that out of date.
