There were seven hostages not six. This documentry arrogantly forgot to mention the Captain from the Sierra Leone Army who was also captured. He was kept in a cess pit outside. The SAS stripped apart the village to find him! He was in very sick health, but they got him out! He recovered and went back to serving in the Army. Annoyed he was left out, he was horribly treated. Luckily the SAS made sure they found him too.
The title claims there were 11 “US Soldiers”. How accurate do you expect it to be? The West Side Boy featured undoubtedly embellished his response. You know he ran at first shot.
The tittle itself is confusing enough: 11 "US" Soldiers!!. Also, intentional omissions of a black skin is common in every documentary involving Africa, even in animal documentaries 😅😅.
Operation sudden death was actually named operation barras. The operation restored confidence in the British forces operating in Sierra Leone, which had been undermined by the capture of the Royal Irish patrol. After the operation, the British government increased its support of UNAMSIL and its efforts to bring the civil war to an end, both politically, through the United Nations Security Council, and through the provision of staff officers to support UNAMSIL. The successful use of 1 PARA in Operation Barras influenced the creation of the Special Forces Support Group-a permanent unit, initially built around 1 PARA, whose role is to act as a force multiplier for British special forces on large or complex operations.
Pretty sure it was 11 soldiers of the Royal Irish Regiment of the British Army and one Sierra Leone officer, and the rescue was done by the SAS and Paras. How on earth does someone get a video title so wrong? 6 were released via negotiation and then the SAS and Paras initiated the operation to recover the remaining 5 and their Sierra Leone liaison officer. 22 Sierra Leon civilians that were being used as slaves and being trained to fight for the west side boys were also freed and one was killed in the crossfire.
Not one of but rather the best SF Every other special forces is model after them . Most other countries won't admit it bit other true oh yes it's true.
@@roncruz6089 Its hard to say who is the best. Of course the SAS started it all and all others modeled after them. Delta and the Seals, modern day, have a lot more combat experience and are actually better equipped so it's hard to say who is better and it doesn't really matter. Both are excellent

“The SAS don’t have the gear that the Americans have” Give me a break. Britain isn’t some 3rd world country. I guarantee you anything the “Americans” have the SAS can have-I mean Britain and the US are like military besties anyway. Some of the things that the talking balloon heads they get to interview in these docs will say to sound like they know what they’re talking about never ceases to amaze me. Did they really need to pay a lady to remind us all that the SAS are “quiet professionals”? At that point nothing out of her mouth can be taken seriously. I’m sorry…It just bothers me how they feel the need to take something that is factually intense and heroic and needlessly try to convince us that it was intense and heroic.
True, but this is a television documentary. RUclips documentaries made by passionate people not trying to appeal to the mainstream are much more factual, and to the point
How many things can you get wrong in a title and description? The rescue was of Irish rangers, the operation was called operation Barras and the SAS troopers nick named it operation CERTAIN Death
The Irish rangers are an elite force in the Irish army and we're not involved here. The British army have regiments named after the UK areas. These men were in the Royal Irish Regiment that does not mean they were Irish.
My concern is that the value of diamonds are still somewhat high... But out of hundreds baskets of blood diamonds maybe one is a star... The regulation through diamond sourcing keeps diamonds at a hefty rate and at an individual rarity😊
Not US soldiers. But still a good video. That first Brit major was a total incompetent to drive into an enemy compound with 11 men in a jeep. What the hell!
@@scottyfox6376 His colonel should have known he was going there and stopped it. A total fool's mission. You don't "scout" with 11 men in a jeep on an open road.

That Commander must have instructed to go in there to get information on orders but do you know the funny thing those that issue those orders know that end will be a rescue operation the final elimination of the Leader of the west side boys... Military is not for the weak.
11 British soldiers. Royal Irish regiment. If it were US soldiers half of socom would have turned up and made Magbeni look like the surface of the moon.
i dont think so bud. we'd rescue them without leaving a footprint. itd still be classified. we also gather enough intel to not do something like drive in the middle of the jungle with full gear, with 11 ppl, where they hang out

I wouldn't be surprised if the next upload is titled "Chinese SAS-R soldiers who captured Canadian Delta Force hostages rescued by Australian Spetsnaz GRU I Special Forces"
How on earth would a train soldier drive into enemies territory without thinking .He is surely lucky to have captured His missions were stupid and senseless .He should have been discharged from the Army dishonorably.
RUclips drives me up the wall with sloppy editing! There were no US soldiers involved at all, they were Royal Irish Regiment with 1 Sierra Leone soldier.
Amateurly put together. The title says 11 US Soldiers captured, when in fact they were British soldiers from the Irish regiment. Also, no mention of the Sierra Leone captain that was also rescued.
I love it when the British say they went to "Help" stabilize the country. Pease keeping force they call it. More like trying to reinstate a friendly government to take over the riches of that country, ore, diamonts and so on. The Brits NEVER do something for nothing, of the goodness of their hearts !
Got that one wrong and obviously have never heard of "Blood Diamonds"a little like the slave trade run by stronger African against weak Africans. The Brits stopped the local warlords, a little like they stopped the slave trade.
At least get your title right. This happening so much makes me think these channels are' ran by AI or people who don't understand the language they post them in.

Operation Barras a great operation, perfectly executed by the SAS. Always like watching videos with Phil Campion

The leader of the Westside-girls was hiding under the bed :). No drugs or alcohol in the world could help him get the courage.
Those who were there will know this as Operation Barras when the SAS and 3 Para freed Royal Irish soldiers held by the WSB
No mention of the mercenaries and the MI 24 that led the way ?!?

Two weeks later and they are still claiming these were US soldiers. You have to assume clickbait/misinformation at some point.
My Regiment was not US they were British, Royal Irish vet
AI.
plenty others have covered this. they got the facts right.
Awesome❤
I don't think the person who uploaded this video even watched it
Not sure how it feels to be part of the SAS and find yourself relegated to mere Blackrock employees.
So what’s the hold up for the green light?
good video
I like those videos❤
Jhon has a mustache😂
This makes me believe that these people think that the USA and England are one and the same. Did we leave that impression? Probably.
I don't know if there was EVER a braver, riskier and above all a successful mission like operation Entebbe.
That operation makes the SAS look like child's play
@@raymeilak7702who do you think taught the Israeli special forces, which special force unit came first?
5:37-5:42 Yyyeeeaaahhh eeerrrmmm... I'm pretty sure (to say the least), that they had the permission from the MOD lol
It's ironic that some of the Israeli's who speak perfect English don't have a "translator" whilst others who speak just as good English do!

One month in and they haven't fix their thumbnail title.
This happened in my home country. The 11yrs civil war in Sierra Leone
