Ex Australian Army Reservist (never deployed) here: Something we all appreciate these days is how much lighter equipment has become. This team supposedly had around 200lb (approx 90kg) in their Bergens (which has been debated by both serving members AND the civilian company that manufactured the Bergens), this was made up of a range of equipment from sleep system, to food, to medikit, to ammo, to explosives, to water, to tools, to electronics etc. What I can report with 100% confidence is that military personnel have it much easier than both infantry and special forces of yesteryear, especially in the case of special forces, and ESPECIALLY so in the case of the UK SAS and Australian SASR... Unsurprisingly though, selection for the SAS and SASR still requires you to prove yourself with insane weight in your Bergan, well beyond what they carry in deployment these days - Everything previously mentioned from the sleep system, the food, the medikit, the tools, ESPECIALLY the electronics, and even the Bergen itself, is FAR lighter than it was in 1991 when this movie is set.
I met 'Mcnab' years ago when he had just made the transition from SF to civie land and was launching his BTZ book on military bases. His story made me realize that the mission was one big fuck up from start to finish. So much for 'check and test', 'Andy!'
Compared to delta/ seals habit of leaving their own choppers behind (iran hostage mission, Mogadishu, bin Laden, and more) ... At least the SAS didn't blow the budget on the insertion. RIP to the fallen. Massive respect to uksf and their American brothers. Brave warriors all.
This scene actually depicts one of the less known practices of Tier 1 special forces during LRRP missions behind enemy lines. They actually shit and piss into plastic bags and bring it with them than occasionally the bags get buried about 1km away in perpendicular to their actual moving route. This might sound crazy but it's a method to thwart trail following even by professional anti-espionage forces with dogs and such. Oops...there I go again revealing secret military stuff :-)
They were given wrong intelligence about the weather, type of terrain that's why they decided not to take vehicles like the other call signs who were in other locations trying to find the mobile scud launchers and fibre optic cables used for communications . They were also given the wrong codes for the radios ! ! They made the best choices on the info they received. They paid a high price, 3 of them died as a result and they deserve the upmost respect as do all the other soldiers.
In my experience, most spec ops forces would have let the boy go. I can think of 4 historical examples (2 Brit and 2 US). I was US, and also had some dealings with the SAS. I was involved in training. For one, crossbows are for the movies. Two, most operatives are family men, spiritual, and can understand context. Those who put the mission before the safety of innocents wouldn't make it past the first psychological tests or interviews (both psych and peer). Bean's statement sound right.
I think the BBC did a good job with really as they are a tv company. Sean Bean looks nothing like Andy McNab having met him a few times! Does amuse me that people think they know all about war because the have played games like COD. Games designed by programmers in an office! Crossbows! Good lord lol
There lots bit like that And his Bergen wide open and he leaves it like that that’s not gonna happen and also when Ray is trying to talk to the child down look at his utility pouch his Barely attached to his belt
I love how they sitting around taking shit like their waiting for pint at the pub. No defensive positions taken up....cause the enemy is just over there.
hes the geordi guy that takes the long walk to the borber with the green sweets i think. he says he has a xrxi and the colour is green at the start anyway.
@alongthebluff I think as it was mention earlier their kit weren't really there kit it was from another Regiment or something. Plus it's like the desert...sound doesn't really matter...but I would prefer silenced weapon as well.
@starryian007 Facts don't add up: "According to MacGown however, "incidents such as teeth extraction and burning with a heated spoon did not happen. It is inconceivable that any such incidents could have occurred without them being discussed or being physically obvious."] News footage of MacGown and Pring taken at the time of their release on 5 March, showed no evidence of any facial injuries and the members were described as 'in good shape' by a Red Cross representative" - Wikipadia
What they told when debreifed was fake, a lie read the book the real bravo two zero A man who is looking for one o soldiers went backand talked to people who took part in the real thing there was no shepard boy or a apcs that came after them just 3 farmers with two aks and 1 old british rifle
@garden2010city if you read the book, you'll know that due to shortages they could not actually acquire suppressors for their weapons, so crossbows would most likely be impossible to get hold of anyway. I doubt special forces ever use crossbows tbh, just Call of Duty. They were faced with a choice of killing the child that found them (with a knife btw), or letting him go and taking the risk. Personally I don't think I could kill a child, whatever the circumstances.
@Ragitsu i recently read a book called `close quarter battle` by a bloke who served in the paras/SAS and he said some the blokes smoked like troopers !
Not a bad film but certainly not true-to-life. From what I have read, it certainly didn't happen the way it is portrayed in this film. Even the characters have the wrong names. I guess it is more about escapism (no pun intended) than fact.
@lotrhalo You are looking at war crimes, to harm the child - for being compromised. "In 2001, Asher interviewed the Bedouin family that discovered the patrol. The family stated the patrol had been spotted by the driver of the bulldozer, not the young shepherd. Asher's investigation into the events, the terrain and position of the Iraqi Army did not support McNab's version of events, and excludes an attack by Iraqi soldiers and Armoured Personnel carriers." - Wikipedia
sad or not, they have a job to do. from my own time in the marines, i know that if im told to do something, not having the perfect kit to do the job is not an excuse. They went out nearly as heavily armed as a 24 man platoon in the bootnecks. the guy who owned the silenced weapon gave it to another team. it wasn't as though it was assigned to B20, it was a personal weapon. I can't say about the regiment, because i don't know, but the guys who look down on high for us do a fine job.
then the book i read must be way different to urs, i read the 1 from chris ryan-the one that got away. interesting to c how bigga different there is between movie and books or even . have u seen the documentary version of this, its whole lot closer to the books, not as detail. any way i rather book version. u almost can c what war or in that situation will do to the handfull of toughest man u can find on earth.
@Theriomalstrom Dude he made that comment a year ago. The fact that its there shows that some one shat there. Big f*cking deal. It could have been some sheperd.
Scene in 04:41 is a joke .I do not believe that Special Forces in fear of being found by anyone ( including civilians ) would hesitate to kill that person . No offence to them they have no other choice behind enemy line. Why didnt have crossbows to eliminate enemies quietly . I think real story was that they were found by by "poor" Iraqi soldiers so they didnt want to look bad for public and they cooked up the story about child and "humanitarian reasons" . SAS is great fighting force anyway
grrrrrr if they had surpressed weapons they would have to cock the weapon after each shot if they are using sub sonic rounds with a 5.56mm weapon or any above sub sonic.

@Wal Leece Yes, I know 'Andy Mc Nab is a pseudonym. I would not know anyhting what you claim to know. Cheers
Shitting in a nylon bag... now that's soldiering!

proof sharpe is a time traveler
Cant wait for the next one
sharpe has changed his green uniform? . well, it's the same army
Goat herders...most effective scouts and reconnaissance on the planet apparently.
You idiot. Finish your homework.
goat herders- forever finding elite special forces units with ease
@StevieRV "stand to, come on stand to" - this means get ready for action
Yes you can, hence the carry handle being there. Remember, you are a kid in the cadets, they are the SAS, they are going to be easily strong enough.
2020 here??
same as lone survivor, you cant kill the kid but the kid helped the bad guys BIG time

hoosierteacher They don't have psych test for entry into UKSF....they just put you in the jungle....job done!

You've met him, have you?
0:25 That was some wet fart
A compass taped to a piece of metal. No I think not
I can't believe I've never seen this movie. This stuff is good...maybe I really should read the book.
It is an excellent read.
Theres a blooper. 1:56 Andy is to Vincent's right but at 2:12 they've switch sides
There lots bit like that And his Bergen wide open and he leaves it like that that’s not gonna happen and also when Ray is trying to talk to the child down look at his utility pouch his Barely attached to his belt
Awesome
I would have chosen a hiding place like 5km away from any dwellings.
I love how they sitting around taking shit like their waiting for pint at the pub. No defensive positions taken up....cause the enemy is just over there.
@Ragitsu Yah i know ey!! they also drink!
@Macinabit
The only silenced kit available had been given to another team making a move on baghdad.
andy Mcnab rocked the big brother house !!! WHAT A LEGEND!!
good
hes the geordi guy that takes the long walk to the borber with the green sweets i think. he says he has a xrxi and the colour is green at the start anyway.
Damm Sheeps😠

esta pelicula me recuerda conflict desert strom 2
xxxii
SBS’s 2003 mission in Northern Iraq was equally exciting and nail biting but at least all 60 of them made it out alive, albeit barely.
according to the book they take their shit to avoid it being detected by dogs or whatever.
Nice film
@Ragitsu Not only that but the smoke from the cig could of compromised their location.
In the book,digger only smoked as they were leaving for the RV,they had already been compromised
Mantap
Why in the f@#k is Andy (Bean) pointing his shooter at this teammates while one of them takes a crap.
According to asher it was an Iraqi on a bulldozer who spotted them
Then the patrol scarpered
Pursued by two iraqies
В такой ситуации валят по тихому мальца.В афгане спецы некого жим не отпускали ибо последствия непредсказуемы.

Que filme bom mano.
'Andy McNab' with a Yorkshire accent?!
They had to make him sound tough!
@@Goodwithwood69 Peckham is tough territory.
It's sheen been
Long as it's not French or Italian .... It's all good👍
@@Goodwithwood69 NICE!!!!🤪
Depends what kinda AK you use .
Funny thing why did,nt they run the boy down he was on his own and was the only compromise to the mission strange one to understand
My Lord Stark..
@MrPocketGuitar but if they find foreign food in it, it gives the game away!!!!!!!!!
yeah read it too, liked it :)
Aren't you supposed to keep your compass away from metal, like a gun???
@THEzGsR because silencers destroy range, its a desert, their gonna notice the muzzle flash and tracers anyway
Silencers change nothing about the range
Days you need a sat phone...
it takes guts to be dropped behind ememy lines try it you my like it
Nice
@BWade1815
Very true.
wondering why they did not have any sound suppressor or silence pistol.
Hahahaha!!! Must have been pretty skiddish...
So does the m16.Quite often lol
When all's said and done that was one seriously fucked up patrol.......
So Baz never tested the codes I’m assuming right? What’s the real story?

It's a joke. I'm guessing you never played Portal 2.
I read the book but didnt know a movie was made. Is it called Bravo Two Zero?
No, it’s The One That Got Away. Made by ITV for television in South Africa, hence the personnel carriers with Brownings.
No this is called Bravo Two Zero. Look up Sean beans wiki

Huh?AK's can be used in the dessert no problemo compadre.
0:26 xDD Big fart!
The shots would have alerted the Iraqis nearby, that is established in the shot at 3.27. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
i was under the impression of the stereotypical brit. then i saw this................
Dragunov is a sniper rifle,Ak 74 is a good weapan Ak74SU isnt bad.
