Fighting underwater was more dangerous than fighting on land, especially without oxygen. The danger when fighting in water increased exponentially. No one could guarantee that they would come out alive.
Eka Assault was famous for being a death competition without death. Hence, besides the low probability of death, it was actual combat where the participating special forces soldiers could feel the risk of dying.
The special forces soldiers who could participate in the Eka Assault competition were all soldiers who had blood on their hands and had killed before. Once the battle started, even if it was a competition without death, their ferocity and ruthlessness would not change. They would fight to kill the other party.
There were special forces soldiers from 12 countries in the lake, and there were eight participants on each team. There were a total of 240 Estonian soldiers underwater. Just the difference in numbers was enough to make people tremble in fear.
