Meet Russia’s Seal Team Two. These seals are firing off their patriotism for fellow Russians on the World War Two victory anniversary.
Armed with water pistols and Soviet-style military caps, the seals in the Siberian town of Irkutsk have been trained to march — just like their World War Two comrades.
The aquatic park’s director Alexei Berdnikov says the show was dedicated to those who fought. “We have a military patriotic show here. We wanted to pay tributes to those who died and those who fought, to the veterans and to those who heroically worked at a home front”, he said.
Those who came to see the show say they were impressed with the seals’ ability to pack some heat.
One spectator said, “Most of all I liked how skillfully the seals were holding rifles in their flappers, how they turn and how they respond to commands.”
And these seals are likely to continue turning heads — even when the celebrations are over.
