Training with SOBT – Inside Bulgaria’s Elite Forces

This is the first video we shot in the series about the SOBT commandos. It focuses on live-fire training and tactical exercises. One of the main challenges was coordinating with the bomb disposal team, who created the massive explosion behind the unit — a powerful moment that added cinematic intensity to several of the shots later featured in the official SOBT calendar for 2019.
