Operation Nimrod | SAS | Iranian Embassy Siege | 1980
#sas #specialforces #specialairservice
The breaking of a terrorist siege in the heart of London in 1980 catapulted the normally secretive SAS onto the world stage. The audacious daylight assault, carried out in the full glare of media scrutiny, made the Regiment and it's motto, 'Who Dares Wins' an indelible part of UK culture. The techniques used in the operation were quickly studied and copied by other special forces and counter-terrorism units around the world.
Britain had drawn a line in the sand with regards to international terrorism. Terrorists now knew that if they undertook an operation against British interests that the UK would respond with deadly efficiency.

    I heard the story from one of the survivors of the prisoners who had only one machine gun, grenades and mortars found them among the trees, in addition to the American investigator Span shot the prisoners while they were tied. The channels documented that scene, but they did not broadcast it.

    The US and UK combined are undefeatable. We should have supported the Americans in Vietnam but we kinda just assumed it would be an easy win for the US. Then again the US just left us to do it our way in the Falklands despite doing a lot of business with the Argies, and did provide us with important intelligence. But they also trusted that we'd also get the job done no problem. The problem with Vietnam was the terrain which gave the locals a huge advantage plus it was basically a proxy war and the Russians were pulling the Vietnamese strings. It was very much like the US Revolutionary War, what we call the War of Independence. In that the supply line was too long, over oceans, they were just sinking more and more money and lives into a pointless and unpopular war and the practical decision had to be to pull out. Very similar to the rev/ind war, in that the Brits had a 2000 mile supply line over the treacherous waters of the Atlantic in wooden boats, they also had Napoleon on their doorstep and it was a very unpopular war in Britain where it was seen as a civil war between pro-monarchy Brits and anti monarchy Brits (now Americans, but obviously then still British subjects) and there was no desire to waste our time fighting our own ppl when Napoleon was dominating Europe. So the practical common sense decision was to pull out rather than over-commit our already over-stretched military, engaged in every corner of the world, especially when it was inevitable that the states would want their independence eventually anyway. But just like we did with Canada (which is why we had to reluctantly go back again in 1812 to secure that territory), Australia, South Africa, India and NZ, among many other places, we granted them independence just for asking nicely. The Brits don't really like fighting against ethnically their own ppl. Thankfully now we operate almost as a single fighting force, with the US able to deploy their huge and well-funded military while the Brits are able to mobilise Britain, Canada, Australia and NZ - our blood brothers. And vitally have bases and territory around the world to employ as and when necessary.

      The brits didn't help in Vietnam because we was there before the Americans. We solved the issue, and handed over to the usa who didn't take advice from the british on how to deal with the war and also because usa didn't support the uk with the suez canal situation. Blame the french they always mess things up and the brits and Americans clean up after them....

    • @lorddaver5729
      @lorddaver5729 Год назад

      Sorry, this is just wrong. Although the SBS is indeed the Royal Navy's special forces unit, day to day operational control of the SBS comes under the command of the UK's Director of Special Forces (an army Major-general) who also commands the SAS. The Director also controls the two other special forces units, The Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR) and The Special Forces Support Group (SFSG). And yes, the SAS DID also take part at the base. Why would the UKSF allow the SBS to take part but refuse permission to the SAS? The British and American units at the base were outnumbered. What sense would it have made to let the SBS join in, but withhold the SAS?

The SAS deservedly won huge praise and recognition for their daring! [did you see what I did there?]. As a footnote - a popular comedy sketch show at the time called 'Not the Nine O'clock News' did a funny, and highly complementary, tribute sketch ('Revolution in the Kitchen') to honour the SAS in their own special way.
