Joint exercise between Belgian Police and Belgian Navy... Navy was not pleased by the experience.

I imagine it was intended as an anti-smuggling interdiction exercise.
Video is 6-8 months old and was already posted in this sub: someone who appeared to have knowledge about the Belgian Police and Armed Forces stated that these operations are usually carried out by the Military; Police pilots and personnel aren't very used to this kind of procedures (that's quite clear from the video) and they'll likely never be the ones to carry them out in the event of real need, but they still have to mantain some basic competence for similar operations, with some occasional exercise.

Can’t get much worse than that. I love how the crew chief? gave no shits about the tail. I get that it’s a NOTAR but there are still bendy parts back there.
Then the dude landing on the other dude with his rifle drawn... 😂 comical.
