One of the SAS boys was drinking a cup of tea after freeing the hostages then it kicked off again was shooting with one hand with a cuppa in the other.
1st Battalion, Parachute regiment is a part of the UK Special Forces Support Group, which supports the SAS, SBS & SRR in their operations along side RM Commandos F Company and a flight of RAF Regimental Gunners. 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalions form the rest of the UKs airborne infantry but aren't part of SFSG
I live 25 minutes from SAS head quarters and a few weeks ago I was in a local chemist and the man behind me was talking to some one on his mobile and was saying he had to go to a certain place the next day and said he was going to catch a lift from there on a chinook back to SAS HQ. I turned around and he looked like a normal civilian but I knew who he was but you wouldn’t believe it by the look of him
@@ianpawson-vanlife-mcr I've stated twice already, and I'll do once more; the British Army does not designate the Parachute Regiment within UKSF. They are therefore not special forces within this official context. ------ You are clearly a belligerent ass, only worthy of muting; bye.
The Parachute Regiment is tier 2 and the Royal Marines was tier 2 until a few years ago when they were upgraded from assault troops to special operations. My uncle was in the Parachute Regiment and was part of the assault units in the Falklands war. His Company's role was to fall onto the Argentine trenches without support. They were issued with Sterling submachine guns, kukris/machetes, grenades, mortars to set up on the enemy and engage in close quarter fighting. The Parachute Regiment soldiers are the best of the best but are battle field infantry/commando units. Tier one fill in as special, irregular and difficult to get to action. They have different purposes. If I was good enough, I would have joined my uncle's old Regiment. Unfortunately, a serious knee injury at 18 stopped that honour.
As suspected, Neall Ellis never gets a mention - politics I guess. He was a South African mercenary pilot and owned a Mi24 Gunship. He served in South Africa and Rhodesia, then as mercenary for Executive Outcomes in Sierra Leone. After the mercs were kicked out, he stayed on to help Sierra Leone - and almost single-handedly kept rebel forces out of the capital. He also gave great fire support to the British in Operation Barras. The Parachute Regt pathfinder platoon also fought the fierce battle of Battle Of Lungi Loi against a force of RUF rebels advancing on the airport, earlier in the year. And a sad PS - one of the young Paras in this assault, Thomas Keyes, changed (for his mum's sake) to "safer" military role, joining Royal Military Police. He died in Majar al-Kabir in 2003 as one of the 6 RMP's killed by a mob at the police station.
@@OMT988 Maybe. The very detailed book claims he had a role. His own bio says he did, as does Wiki. Government policy denied it, but do think that would be understandable.
I served with 1 guy in Iraq who was captured as R IRISH in my unit a few years after this happened, who was a captive. Royal Irish Rangers (RANGERS) was the 'old' name for The Royal Irish Regiment (R IRISH). Guy was cracked in the head after it. Small arms fire is a bit meh on helis, unless they get a lucky shot. The biggest concern was they had shoulder launched weapons (RPGs) and also had .50Cal HMGs from the British WMIK vehicles they got after taking the RANGERS teams captive. An old RANGER myself.
My Dad knew the SAS commander leading this operation back when my Dad was in the Army cadets and he was one of the shooting instructors. My Dad told me that the guys reaction time to anything was so fast that they used to play a game amongst the other cadets where if he say had a map out on the bonnet of a jeep and was explaining something, if he had his back to you they would try and reach for and touch his holstered pistol when he couldn't see you. My Dad said before your hand even got within a foot of the gun the guy would have spun around and have your face held against the jeep while shouting "Right, stop f*cking around boys!".
Parachute regiment is closest to us army rangers. Due to this op 1st battalion parachute regiment became permanently part of Special forces support group formed a year later
the CH 47 Chinook has a top speed of 296.32 kmh or 160kts (184mph ) the narrator got that wrong. The CH-47F is even with a maximum speed of 315 km/hr (196 mph). That YT subgoal is really distracting and if anything makes me not want to subscribe , its like sublimanal begging
Don't know why we (british) didn't use apache attack choppers. 🤔 unless this was before we had them, they can operate nearly stealth tactics by hitting targets from miles away.

The best of the best SAS SBS Para and Marine Commandos.

You should do a reaction to battle of Mirbat 8 SAS against 400 insurgents.
Big Phil Campion. Made a brew while there was a lull in fighting. 😊

A movie about this would be good.
Loved this thank you.
I never knew about this so thank you very interesting.🇬🇧🇺🇸
The roof was ripped of Kallays house - the guy talking *is* Kallay.
I low-key would let the interpreter have a go at him.
No tigers or bears in Africa. Paras are not designated SF within the UK military , but would be by US military standards.
Trained as special forces... so are special forces
@@ianpawson-vanlife-mcr Officially they are not, end of.
@@Dr.IanPlect yes they are

Para's are not deemed special forces, they are the uk's elite airborne troops and will regularly support SF troops
Im british and have the up most respect for our armed forces uncles grandparents all been in the armed forces and im proud of all our boys ❤
What a brave man Musa,🇬🇧
Paras and Royal Marines are elite conventional units, although changing structure, and essentially tier 2
The Parachute Regiment is tier 2 and the Royal Marines was tier 2 until a few years ago when they were upgraded from assault troops to special operations.

At 11 mins in that Mogadishu attack sounds like Black Hawk Down was made from that
By the way that brew that they were cooking is laced with a drug and that's why they were bulletproof 😂🤪🫡

Executive Outcomes role in Sierra Leone and other places would make another good Reaction Video.

Nice to see you back
feels good to be back
They failed to mention that the sas observation teams snuck in to the camp and passed a message to the captives to let them know rescue is on the way
glad your back

You should review the battle of mirbat 8 SAS soldiers against 150 fighters
I have! ruclips.net/video/PKC21JzXRwc/видео.htmlsi=Mhnw-V8Xzscw9I-L
The SAS were unofficially in Vietnam fighting a secret war it's called.
There’s an interview with Phil Campion SAS who was there
You have to read the book about this situation called operation certain death
Great read
They could not afford to kill the hostages. All bets are off, if they do and they all would have been steamrolled.
Video has one thing wrong, Trooper Tinnion was killed during the Fast Roping, Right at the start of the Battle not during the WSB Counter-Attack.
Another great video. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏽
Stained ....I think not. The UK said No negotiating.
Great video bro

Oh word!?
@@DezzReacts been saying playbthis one for last 12 months lol
@@ianpawson-vanlife-mcr ask and you shall receive! Haha
Bullshit
A single burst of an AK is not likely to bring down a Chinook but it is possible
Great video and great reaction
Thanks 💯
Just to let you know that this operation was not done by Just SAS because the SRR was there 6 days before the SAS went in
SRR was founded in 2005. This operation took place in 2000. I doubt they were there.
Why didn't they just drive there?
Isnt this operation ",Certain Death"?..
I think thats what it said the soldiers joked about!
Helicopters are just as easy to down if hit in the right place. Armour is too heavy.
