Who needs netflix when we have this channel, brilliant as always
The issue with these is that its not long enough
I'd rather 10 minutes of truth & facts over 10 hours of fantasy & BS.

@@phill-don4832 ok that's you, have fun trying to always find that
Delta and Rangers sure have a thing for each other.
It is the pipe line of all things bad ass!!!!
So true.
Delta Force was founded by Rangers, and that's part of the reason Delta look to Rangers first for selection.
Delta Force and Rangers conduct Direct Action missions or DA for the Army. The Ranger Regiment is a pipeline for Delta Force, as many of them are selected from the 75th. Delta Force's model is based on the British Special Air Service on how they are organized and conduct operations.
Metallisika yes this is true. However it is interesting to note that about 70% of Delta is made up of former Rangers, and only 30% Green Berets
Would really love to see a video on the 2015 DELTA raid in Iraq that freed 70 ISIS hostages. It received a lot of coverage at the time because it resulted in the death of Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler. It was also one of the rare instances of an actual hostage rescue being captured on video, which was later released to the media by participating Kurdish forces.
Where do you find it?
I agree!!! That would be an awesome video
@@ag4832 there is a of video of it

Delta Force and 75th Rangers
Now that's a deadly combination
I love it when Rangers have Delta's back
👍you nailed it!
Surprised no fratricide occurred given the history Rangers have.
Routine_Epitome what you mean by that?
@@Lifechanging99999 Not true. Army Ranger Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004.
@@wuotanaz1106 mistakes happen. when was the last time friendly fire happened after that incident?
I was in Afghanistan the same time this operation took place. I was in Bagram AFB and I was out later in the evening when I heard an unusual jet engine roaring up on the airstrip. It wasn't taking off, but just a sustained increase in thrust on the ground from what I could hear. I'm fairly certain it was a stealth bomber. I never thought too much of it, but this happened in the summer of 2014, so it's possible that this was the undisclosed jet that was used on this operation. It was the one and only time I heard that specific jet engine during my 9 month tour.
c130J on the south end of the runway.
Absolutely not, the stealth bomber has never landed in Afghanistan and would never stage there to support an op in Iraq/syria... what you heard was engine maintenance, that's all.
Rofl I think thus guys knows what he heard, dealing with jets everyday. Also if this is an undisclosed jet then they wouldnt disclose it was there. Blnot saying this is the jet, but the government saying something like a jet never operating somewhere been honest. Like a spy plane over russia that had to get shot down for it to be verified lol. Until then it was never there
Oh ffs.. you heard an engine. Strange that would happen at an air base...

I see rangers and delta, I click
I am a simple man, I see ranger and delta, I click
Oi and Marsoc too🙄
The rangers must have been extra Hooah since Kassig was one of their own.
Thanks for another well researched HR mission. RIP those poor hostages.
I know you probably dont read all of the comments but this channel is one of the best on RUclips for military history. Watch everyone single one.
I remember at the time of this operation there was new coverage talking about the rescue attempt. I know America sent some of their best men and women to find the hostages and you can't expect them to perform miracles without solid intelligence.
Its tragic to hear the loss of all the hostages that were not able to be located and saved. My heart goes out to them and their families. May they RIP.
Discovered this channel 1.5 weeks ago, immediately subscribed. This is such a treat to watch every time! Keep up the good work. I am a huge fan already!
Another great video. RIP to those who lost their lives.💖🇬🇧🇺🇸🇳🇿.
They had ernest intentions, but unfortunately that counts for not in the Middle East...
The effort that goes in is amazing. Keep it up
Still my favourite channel related to military operations!
Just knowing that it takes about 60 ISIS members to tango with just one SF guy satisfies me. Their deaths have been avenged thousand-fold.
No SF died in this operation tho, wtf u talking about
I remember reading about this raid and praying for these hostages. Those were hard days, lots of beheadings, IS was at its peak.
Great presentation as always. Thank you for all you do.
This will definitely grow haven't seen anyone else do this type of history.
Another good one might be the 2017 Tongo Tongo ambush of a USSF team in Niger...although tragic, the heroics displayed on Sgt. Johnson's helmet cam was nothing short of inspiring.
4 USSF soldiers lost their lives. However when the recovery team went in the next day to retrieve the fallen, they found 21 enemy dead on the battlefield...for them to leave 21 of their dead on the field means they most likely suffered many more KIA.
Very hard to watch that video, but you cant help but to feel pride in our guys...not a single man threw up his hands in surrender even when they knew the cause was hopeless.
Technically they were Army Special Forces, USSF does not exist.
Those of us who are operators have an honor code. We DON'T surrender... Go ask the Abu sayyaf in the Philippines what we did to them after they went after children with machetes... 🇵🇭 JTF 510 🇵🇭
@jonnysrevenge USSF isn't a thing.
@jonnysrevenge No, it's that the Army Special Forces don't use that abbreviation. "United States Special Forces" doesn't exist.
Excellent. Instantly clicked the note. Keep going. Compelling as always.
As someone who grew up with their nation at war, its highly enlightening to hear these reports of missions that occurred during my time growing up.
i just watched the 1994 french plane hostage situtation that was from algeria and i loved it, low and behold another great video and i cant wait to watch all of them
That was the exact video I just came from, and the first i've seen from this channel. Subscribed for the hours of content
This is what I want to watch during this quarantine times.
Just amazing content. These are so engaging. Thanks!
Thanks again for this great presentation and update(atleast for me) with regards those still MIA. I tried to keep abreast of those KIA's & those still MIA journalist who were there just doing their jobs, but life just sometimes gets in the way & I have to put it on the back burner but those still missing are never far from my thoughts.
I bow my head to the brave soldiers & journalists who'll never come home & raise my hat to those brave enough to try & make it so.
Thanks again for your presentations.
The United States was not playing around with that air support!
When we go in, we go in hard. Read about Operation Paul Bunyan. Let's just say we used F-4 fighters, F-111 strike aircraft, nuclear armed B-52s, and a full carrier task group just to back up an operation to cut down a tree.
AC 130 INCOMING
Didn't want a repeat of Mogadishu lol
You're becoming one of my favourite RUclips channels
Class, as always. To the point and informative 👍
excellent narrative as usual,thank you.
You videos are just top notch amazing! You are the RUclips Special Force Operator.
Great work on this video. Even though some missions don’t turn out the way we’d hoped, we still need to keep the pressure on all the terrorist organizations to save more lives. God Bless you mate!
This is amazing, I just found your channel today and subbed two hours ago and you already upload a video!
Fascinating stuff as always, Keep going mate.
These videos are great! Keep up the good work.
Brilliant channel! really enjoy your vids mate
I've always been fascinated by the 75th Rangers. I appreciate the vid.
one of my all time favorite channels good shit dude
I absolutely love you’re vids bro
Delta & Rangers. Blackhawk DAP's. AC-130. Unnamed fighters plus Predators!? REAL SUPERHEROES and far more interesting than anything Marvel Studios could dream up!
These real people are the best of the best at what they do, and are truly the best and bravest, modern-day warriors the world has to offer!
one of my favorite channels, quite unique i must say.
Never heard of this operation, thanks for sharing
Brilliant video as always. Could you please do a video on the Seige of Mecca. Over 200 killed and many more wounded and I think it was a spectacular moment in our history which doesn't get spoken about much.
"The Siege of Mecca" by Yaroslav Trofimov is an excellent book outlining the event for all those interested.
awesome video ! would be nice to see something of Operation Anaconda, TF K-Bar or Tora Bora . Or any other operation of the beginnings (OEF)
just found your channel and im so glad i did
Great show. Thankyou.
On my last trip to jordan i met a few of the american SF guys in jordan and zarqa. Well, they didnt say they were SF, but as a former member of the US army seeing how they looked and carried themselves, to me, it was obvious, they were part of some sort of SF unit. They were real chill on both encounters but there was an intense feeling in the air. Its hard to explain.
This was a few weeks after the jordanian pilot was captured and burned alive. ( rest in paradise).
real good SF guys will not exude that charm for anyone to detect,, these guys know they are not to disclose their identity but yet wanted u to know " hey, i am badass SF ",, thats why there are so many tell-all books written by these people.
i can't tell u, but i want u to know.
God bless the soul of that pilot...and always provide comfort to his family.
Funny how I have the urge to subscribe to a Chanel, when the uploaded doesn’t beg me to subscribe lol. You got my sub by the way, great stuff 👍🏻
Very good AAR, keep these videos coming.
I know a lot of people here doesnt speak danish but there’s a great Danish movie called “ser du månen Daniel” where you get the story from the one of the danish prisoners on how he escaped once and then got caught again where he then meets James foley and how his family got major danish companies to all donate money for the ransom It’s a great movie even if you don’t speak danish
Nice ones man... I really Love it. I'm from India and I respect all the Special Forces guys....
I just love the content and the way you narrate it.......!
Is there any way that you would make videos like this for other country's Special Forces???
The ac130 is like having a guardian angel they just fly in circles around the area and are able to pumble targets and litterally turn them into rumble
Sooner or later a MANPAD squad will catch up with one of those gunships
brilliant work and respect for honoring the hostages
this channel is awesome plz keep it up
It would be cool to see ops featuring USAF PJ, especially doing combat search and rescue.
I knew Kassig in basic, it was surreal hearing his name on the news.
you can watch him get beheaded too, unfortunately
@@operator2855 I think he resisted because there was no video, just his head.
@@thebesttheworldhastoofferchann shit
I must've gotten it confused, thanks for clearing that up
Thanks
My new favourite channel
It would be sooo dope if you could do a video about the german KSK and an operation of theirs
Excellent video once again. My condolences to the families of the hostages. It seems to me if US Intelligence listened to French and British intelligence services, I bet there would've been a different outcome. Tragedy.
I'm sure they didn't just read the Intel and go "No". A lot goes into these things and they probably had a good reason to doubt the Intel. If they believed they had gotten good intel, they would've used it.
It sounded like they started from scratch and dismissed the work previously done completely. If that was the case, seems like a bad idea to me. I understand you don’t send people into the fire.
If the British and French trusted the intelligence, they would've mounted a rescue operation themselves.
I love how the spectre just smashed the reinforcement column.. just standard
amazing work
I’m still pissed about Washington post called Baghdadi a “religious scholar” innocents died and media totally shunned these victims
USA has never killed innocents?
It is us sponsored terrorists, it is normal their own media not saying bad things about them
Washington Post is run by John Podesta a CIA pedophile and suspected cannibal satanist.
Subs are climbing - good job ;)
Great video as always. One minor correction, it's John Cantlie (not Cantile).
I love this channel!
I know our respective people (in the US and UK) will always say their sf are the best, however why not, we are all patriots. US people say their sf are the best in the world, and we in the UK say our sf are the best. Lets cut to the chase, we are all proud of our men and women of our forces, however one thing is for certain, you mix US and UK sf and you have to feel sorry for the baddies lol - I hear a lot of both US and UK sf who say they have worked with either, and have the highest respect for them. We can all sleep nicely at night, knowing we have these warriors, watching our backs. Respect and a big thank you, to our US friends, and our UK servicemen and women.
🇺🇸🇬🇧🤝
The poor Russian guy must have realized his country never makes deals with terrorists.
Russians take it like a boss and with pride and honor. Unlike Western ppl whose sole reason in life is to live as long as possible and gain as much pleasures on the way and dont let the good samaritarian leftist fool u they go for pleasure as much as others
Not true. Russia traded Afghan Rebel groups captured “ Afghan terrorist” for captured Russian soldiers in the 80’s. There’s videos of the Russian soldiers crying and begging for mercy to the Afghans as well.
@@srpskabalI I think these were more honorable hadjis, actual warriors, not this hubristic cult crap of IS which seeks to blackmail and submit in humiliation oponents to their child raping harem

You should make a video about that botched raid of Egyptian special forces at Larnaca, Cyprus, in which they had a gunfight with the Cypriot special forces to the backdrop of a terrorist hostage situation at an airport.
Makes for an interesting story if you ask me.
Please find an operation conducted by SEALS and SBS and make a video about it. Love your channel
You will find missions about the SEALS everywhere. The SBS dont publish that sort of thing.
Hi there. Much appreciation from India. Good work. I'd love to see a video on an Indian SF operation sometime. Thanks.
Your videos are the best. Can you make a video about "The Battle of Yuldong" .
The Al-maunah raid in 2000 in malaysia was pretty cool, you should do something about it!
Can we have more UKSF material. Yknow, if thats even possible haha
It's great you changed the animation of text so that it drops from top to bottom...it feels more natural to watch 😊
Great video. You should try Operation Glacier, Jugroom Fort
You should check out the attempted release of French DGSE operative in Somalia in 2013 conducted by DGSE's commandos.

Never heard of this operation and that's a good thing! Silent warriors, no books, tv or movie deals.
The special operations team was unable to locate and rescue any hostages. The special operations team conducted house-to-house searches in Uqayrishah. At this time, IS forces from Raqqa began to arrive and a three-hour firefight ensued.[1] During the fighting, militants also directed RPG fire at a U.S. aircraft; a bullet grazed the leg of the pilot.[19]
Later, it was reported the hostages had been relocated 24 hours before the attempted rescue.[1] It remained unclear whether the operation failed due to incorrect intelligence or if IS forces had been alerted in advance of the mission.[20]
That pic of the MH-60X is nothing like the ones used on the UBL raid. Rob O'Neil said in an interview that they were riding in on DECEPTICONS. Those CIA choppers must look wild!
Alan Haine's Daughter, Bethany is an extraordinarily brave woman.
Despite Knowing what happened to her father, and the fact that IS still had pockets of resistance in the area, she travelled to Syria with a journalist to try and locate his remains, and confronted IS prisoners and Jihadist Brides in a detention camp.
She took absolutely no shit from them and gave little respect towards their warped interpretation of Islam.
It's incredibly sad that the likelihood is Alan will never be found, nor any answers provided regards to why he was so callously executed.
@Proud Indian then you are thinking exactly like a Daesh
@Proud Indian Daesh is the arabic of ISIS. If you've ever been deployed to the region, they (locals, Partner Units, Coalition forces) won't call it IS or ISIS, it's Daesh or Da'wulah (State/Sovereign state).
Same as when You don't call Al Qaeda as "The Foundation" or "The Base" organization.
@Proud Indian the problem is the people's interpretation of it. They interpret exactly like you do, without context and rationality.
@Proud Indian eg, in Christianity we are told to "Thou shalt not kill"
it's wrong. it was misinterpreted. Because Jesus spoke in Aramaic and Hebrew. The correct translation would be "thou shalt not murder", because the words were missing in translation from Hebrew to Greek and Latin before went to English.
This is not including nuance and difference on policy at the time
@Proud Indian Daesh

PillsburyDoughboy Encrypted data & proxy servers numb nuts, also there’s no threat to national/personal security unless I give out key specific data.

PietHeyn Right, because I went to great lengths for people to thank me by commenting my appreciation for channels like these. What a sad life you must lead.
Wasn’t James Foley a former Ranger who decided to become a combat cameraman? It was said he knew he was going to be killed and tried fighting off his captors, to no avail.
Pete Kassig was the former Ranger

Can you do operation thunderbolt the entebbe hostage raid?
Fantastic narrative
There are lots of ignorant people on this comment section. The 75th Ranger Regiment is a special operations unit that specializes in direct action. They aren’t “special forces support”, “spec ops capable”, or “just elite infantry”. They are special operators with a full spectrum of special operations capabilities. They are equal to their sister units in SOCOM. They have captured and killed more high value targets than any other SOF or conventional units. They are not “back up or perimeter security” for other SOF units. You will not see Rangers pulling security for SF, regular SEAL Teams, or MARSOC on a raid. If anything it would be the other way around. On rare occasions they will pull security for the tier 1 elements when it comes to sensitive hostage rescue missions, but this is the exception not the rule. The vast majority of times they are clearing rooms alongside the tier 1 SMUs. They work with tier 1 units but most of their operations on their own. Most Delta Force operators come directly from Regiment.
The raid would likely have been successful had it been conducted prior to the French and Spaniards buying their hostages back. The bigger the group, the harder it is to isolate and secure them. We'll never know for sure.
I would actually argue for the contrary. A big group can be split and locked in multiple sites, hard to spot and storm at the same time. Also, it gives a vast array of credible threats(eg. if you do get to find and save one, we'll execute the others, therby sapping the will to partecipate from those parties who do not have too much confidence in the actionable intelligence). A single hostage, or multiple hostages located closely instead provide for a very tempting target. They are there, packed, once taken back no more credible threats on other hostages... Had they been indeed held together, then the intelligence provided by the bought back hostages might have been invaluable.
@Alexander Per Knudsen Because it helps them buy weapons and encourages kidnapping.
Sadly war comes with tragic loss of human lives on all sides.

@@alexocean9196 It's all going to be thrown in the air in a few months when the Australian war crimes inquiry is published and SASR members become the first Australians to be prosecuted for war crimes. A good number of the 50 war crimes being investigated involve civilians being killed and ak-47s being planted on their bodies for a photo, and those numbers being published into the operational figures of killed Taliban and Al-Qaeda. The inquiry will say a lot about how all Western special forces conduct themselves overseas.

There is a reason why we don't like our government..... they should have taken the info they had and should have worked harder to rescue them
Come on , you have to take into account their point of view : even if it's their jobs , we don't need to risk recklessly the lives of our soldiers.
I'm French , and I recall very well the events of another video , where 2 of our brave soldiers for died to save 2 of our citizens. And to be honest , it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth , that these two soldiers had to give their lives. If more time had been taking , we could have lost their track , but we might have gone in more prepared and these two soldiers might have survived ...
