✉️ Briefing:
Believe it or not, but France is the nation which conducted most of airborne operations: from Indochina to the Algeria and Suez Crises, paratroopers were an essential part of French Cold War tactics, and and their use was well mastered. In May 1978, the city of Kolwezi and its inhabitants, including many Europeans, were taken hostage by FLNC forces. A coalition composed of French, Belgian and Zairian forces was quickly formed to reconquer the city. Belgian forces being disorganized to the point of being delayed, the French 2ème Régiment Étranger de Parachutistes (2nd foreign paratrooper regiment) led the initial airborne assault on the morning of May 18th, closely followed by the 311th Zairian Paratrooper Battalion. Belgian elements finally arrived during the afternoon. Within two days, the entire city was under Coalition control, and 2,800 Europeans were secured and evacuated on 21 May. French and Belgian units were relieved by an Inter-African Force led by 1,500 soldiers from Morocco, Senegal, Togo, and Gabon. The operation was a complete success with "few" losses for the coalition and was a prime example of the efficiency and effectiveness of light infantry when used with the element of surprise and with good intelligence and logistics.

This is Shaba II. FLNC also invaded Shaba/Katanga province earlier in 1977. Then they were beated by Moroccan soldiers with Belgian support.
Now, I'm waiting a premiere...
You're right, this happened during Shaba II! I hope you will enjoy the video.

Awesome edit of an awesome movie with awesome music! BTW, where can I find the Mirage 2000 full video shown at the end?
Thank you but there's no Mirage 2000 here.
@@Sternjaeger :O my fail then. What is it, a Mirage III? I'm talking about the outro clip, with the aircraft in 3D wireframe which looks like '80s CAD. I've found images like that but in low resolution, whereas yours is fullHD.
Trop bien. Et le remix
*Epic*
Nice!
But I didn't hear about using APCs by rebels during Shaba Rebellion/Invading.
Rebels were equiped with light vehicles, including AML. But keep in mind it's a movie..
Nice video
Thank you!
Drôle de style mais agréable, je recommande.
Salut tu peux faire un edit sur la guerre du Bush ?
Salut,
Déjà fait et refait par d'autres RUclipsrs. À moins de trouver de belles images en excellente qualité, je ne pense pas.
this is from the movie Operation Leopard (1980)
You don't fuck with the Legion.
Vive la France 🇨🇵 plus grand pays avec la Russie 🇷🇺 et l'Allemagne 🇩🇪
Avis mitigé sur l'Allemagne, pour ma part. 😂😂
@@Sternjaeger
l'histoire parle d'elle même, jamais colonisé par les romains et a rouler de nombreuses fois sur l'Europe 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
@@straytonox1492 nombreuses fois ?
L'empire romain axé sur la Méditerranée non sur l'Europe, hormis les expéditions militaires ils ont pas essayé de coloniser. Guerre des Gaules de caesar explique les étapes de la colonisation gauloise. C'etait loin d'être une guerre totale, et c'était déjà plié bien avant les rébellions qui ont menés à Alésia.
@@gringologie9302 et les germains ont repris la gaule à la chute de l'empire
l'Allemagne jamais colonisé sauf a la fin de la deuxième guerre mondiale mais ca na pas durée longtemps
J'ai quelques idées à te proposer, passe me voire à l'occasion.
