- In January 2019, six years into the Central African Republic Civil War, Rebels belonging to the UPC launched an offensive to capture the key city of Bambari. For a week, fighting developed across the area and involved a multi-national force battling to hold the city and repel the Rebel advance; among this force, were Paratroopers from Portugal and a Company of Bangladeshi Special Forces.

As a french paratrooper, i worked with portuguese paratroopers, they are really strong and cool guys
Tout comme vous chers amis français vous etes de bons soldats et des mecs cools un salut depuit la ville de Ponte de lima region Minho nord du Portugal
As a Bangladeshi I am proud of my brothers for risking their lives to protect the African people.
As an India I am also proud of my neighbor country’s army courage.
As a fellow human from the planet Earth I am also proud of the fellow human nations army courage.
As a bangladeshi, we are very proud of other peoples accomplishments.
They are not here to protect us, they are here to steal our resources

I have nothing but the utmost respect for the skill and professionalism displayed by the Portuguese Para's and Bangladeshi Special Forces as they conducted this challenging offensive operation. Even that small amount of footage showcased their class.
Impressive feat by the Portuguese and Bangladeshi troops! 💪
I'm so proud of my Portuguese brothers making us proud! FORCA PORTUGAL ❤❤
Aos irmãos Portugêses, avaente e bom trabalho, vcs são os heróis do mar então honrem a nação valente e imortal da qual pertencem lutando com tudo. Abraços do Brasil
As an Indian I am proud of our Bangladeshi brothers. And good luck
Thanks ❤
Thanks bro.
Thank you bro. Much love to you all ❤
😂
Portugal are our longest serving allies .. several hundred years of alliance .
I feel grateful for the 0 casualties taken by our SF troops!
I see Portugal, i click, and i must say PORTUGAL CARALHO
Great feat by both the Bangladeshi Special Forces troops and Portuguese Paras.
When i was in the Military my unit participated 2 years in a row in the NATO exercises ( ORION),including several Nations ( they are live fire exercises),and had the opportunity to meet with several Portuguese troops from the Airborne and Comandos regiment.
At the time their gear ( armament) was not at the same level of ours or other Nations,they still used the HK G3 has their main Assault Riffle ( dont get me wrong, its a very good and reliable riffle) but to Heavy,and with few amunitions to carry,but in terms of training,i speak for myself and other guys from my unit,those guys training is top notch.
They are on the same level that any NATO special forces country.
And they are the Nicest guys you can meet on the "Battlefield",all of them speak perfect English, always pranking and joking.
Perfect guys to be by your side on the Battlefield .
I was/ still very impressed by the standards of their training. True Warriors.
PS: obrigado ( sorry if iam wrong) for those very nice days that we spent together.
No i know that they already made a big Change in material,and now they theirs special forces have the latest Brand new Nato equipament.
Even the Army replaced the old HK G3 by the FN Scar.Good move.
Good luck to you guys,in yours detachements, specialy on this latest one.
Thank You very much. Obrigado 🙏
We probably crossed our paths on one of those "battlefields" of the NATO exercises.
Just a minor correction, the Portuguese Paras used the Galil since 1979 up to the replacement by the FN SCAR.
Thank you for your kind words, their are much appreciated.
The paratroopers no matter where they come from always do the job. ⚔️Respect to my fellow portuguese paratroopers. 💪☠️ Greeting from an ex para from french 8 RPIMA
Well done Bangladeshi SF and Portuguese army. Huge respect
This shows that when you let UN peacekeepers do their jobs then lives are saved
How many African lives is a Portuguese life worth? 50? 100? I tell you, if it was white people in those huts, they wouldn't be as trigger happy.
^Reginald Housemann has entered the fucking chat...😒
@@S.NGWanjiru the rebels caused more homelessness by continuing to use the resident's houses as barracks and ammo dumps. And the UN has this programs to rebuild battle-torn houses and public infrastructures, so all is well after this battle
@@S.NGWanjiru a peace under progress. The problem in CAR right now is that the govt is too weak to enforce its own rules, they have neither the money nor the military/law enforcer to do so. And the latter that the govt did have, are undertrained, under-equipped, and somewhat biased towards their own ethnicity. The UN peacekeepers are trying to solve these issues, but it's shrill a long way before the republic can stand on its own. Let's just hope the current president can do his job well amidst these challenges
Plus, Afghanistan and CAR is wholely different place. Yes, the Taliban do manage to maintain rules and order after they took over the government, as much as I'd hate to admit that. But in CAR, even if the rebels did manage to take over the government, they won't be able to. They've tried so in 2013, and the country soon descent into chaos. It's just nobody has enough power to maintain hegemony in the country. That's why they need outside intervention.
Never imagined I would ever see Bangladesh featured on this channel. I didn't even hear about this from our own news media.
Well, Bangladesh now that it is not East Pakistan, is and has been a large ball-player for NATO, and has a long history of engagements within UN forces and operations.
@@battlements7649 I would disagree. We have strong alliance with Russia, to the point where Russia is making a nuclear powerplant for us, we have a Chinese submarine base and our politics is heavily integrated with India. Our Muslim population somewhat despises NATO and USA and we still haven't recognized Israel, so I don't really think we are NATO aligned. But yes, we do contribute a lot for UN peacekeeping forces.
@@aaap3875 I find it hypocritical that my countrymen consider westerners to be evil due to their invasion of dictator run states but turn a blind eye towards the issue of uighur. But thats what you get when you live in a country where only 2% people attend university.

Feel for the civilians they have a hard life as it is without war, but well done Portuguese paras and Bangladeshi s.f 💪👍
well done Portuguese and Bangladeshi forces, top job!
This channel never disappoints
Totally agree fella 🇬🇧
I think it’s because of the speaker he’s able to keep people interested
It always impressive to see professionals like these doing what they do best no matter what country they are from.
Orgulhoso dos nossos paras! Força Portugal!
Didn't know that Bangladeshi SF was involved ! Awesome stuff 🇧🇩
You can find the operation vedio in RUclips
Bangladeshi armed forces rank 1st in un peach keeping mission. They r the very good at it and very professional.
Bangladeshi SF lead the operation as Portuguese para failed to complete the operation alone twice before.
শুভেচ্ছা রইল সকলের প্রতি বাংলাদেশ থেকে 💚❤💚
One must remember that the Portuguese have been fighting wars in Africa since they conquered Ceuta in 15th century. It’ s in their DNA. Wherever you go along the African coast you see remains of fortresses, pillars and even names left behind by the Portuguese.
You can also mention the part they participated in slave trade
@@destroyerarmor2846 Yes, you are right. The Portuguese did participate in the slave trade. So did the British, French , Spanish etc. Arabs and West Africans too.
@@destroyerarmor2846 They only could because local African tribes and kingdoms were willing to sell slaves
@@destroyerarmor2846 That is right but Portugal was also one the first countries to abolish slavery.
Yes, like the arabes and africans capturing them and selling them to all the other arabes, africans, sud and north americans english, and other europeans, or not?
Left woke propagandist, and ignorant person!
Were not Portugal the first to abolish enslavement in its country?
Both red and green flag nation 🇧🇩🇵🇹
I love how they open the gate at 08:45, using the .50 cal on the Humvee. 😂
Knock knock
"knock knock....watch out for the falling cinderblock" 😂
THE common problem in Africa is poor leadership coupled with massive corruption which retards progress and development.... AND every rebel group believes they are the answer until they get to power and just continue the cycle...
Remember all those promising African leaders who were assassinated and overthrown during the cold war because Africans turned to USSR after the pain of colonialism and apartheid
our proud moment Bangladesh army🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brazilian here, what I understood (keep in mind brazilian portuguese is similar but diferent from portugal):
7:02 - talking about grenades (they say "duas" or two in english) *proceeds to fire 2 mortar rounds*
In between these times is very hard to make out what their saying due to heavy machine gun fire and the quality of the mic
8:56 - "Bora" or let's go
9:09 - "alto alto alto" which I think it means "halt halt halt"
9:12 - "pera aí *unteligiable* atrás " = wait *unteligiable* behind
9:29 - "limpo" = clear
9:38 -- "que tem aí dentro?" = what's in there?
9:41 - "olha aqui" = look here
*unteligiable* *happy noises*
9:49 - "pera aí pera aí *grabs radio* encontrei armas encontrei armas" = wait wait *grabs radio* found weapons found weapons
edit: "armas" can be either weapons (any weapon, even blades) or guns or related
Armas para um militar são armas de fogo, como fuzis pistolas ou granadas, mas para um policia pode ser também armas brancas como facas catanas ou até um taco de basebol como era militar só podia ser armas de fogo Eles eram militares

"Combat made our forces engage in combat" - The UN 2019
At least they let the grunts sort it out this time lmao
By nature, the Bangladesh army is capable of turning hell into heaven on earth. They have been proving it in their peacekeeping missions. But they can bring hell to the earth if necessary. They proved it during the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971 and during the war with insurgents in the hilly parts of Bangladesh. It is just a glimpse of what you saw in this video.
❤️
You got that right
Saudações aos amigos portugueses
Love my Army🇧🇩
They are our pride.
I love that in situations like this you can have groups from all over the world work together. Idk how they decide who goes where but it is cool
Portuguese paras are SF and very good, don't mess with our boys! :)
I never thought that this could happen. really glad it did. great vid. Just a little side note. There was also Portuguese TACP's on this mission. 3 I belive, 1 on the Heli and 2 on the ground.
I love this channel this is my spot when I want to learn about new SF stuff keep up the great work 👍
Yessss letsgo you finnaly made the video I was wanting for so long
@@Robbielazar yesir
I couldn't wait for you to do this one nice!
Thank you for making this content a lot of westerners are aware of bangladeshi special forces and military performance keep it up
as a bangladeshi.. i didnt know our troops did any of these epic stuff
I hear Pakistan trained Bangladesh SForces.
@@alexanderthegreatoz5945 bruh 💀
@@alexanderthegreatoz5945 lmao nah.. we were part of pakistan before 1971 but after that we dont have any connection with their gov. As far as i know our SF training comes from the US army nd the bri-ish army
@@rajinhasnine4716 look, any country's military do train with foreign countries... don't think your country's military just train n learn everything by themselves. Bangladesh military trained with varieties of armed forces across the world, thats how they can become a better fighting force.
@@rajinhasnine4716 huh ic
Bangladeshi SF...that was new to me. thumbs up.
Some real tough sob. Thank for the great video.
Well done Bangladeshi SF & Portuguese para
Well done , these are the stories we never hear about in the news
I must say the reliable quality of your videos never fails to impress. Recently I've been made aware of one 'Battle of the SIttang Bend', which was a Burmese battle that took place in July/August 1945. The British saw only 95 killed, meanwhile the Japanese were inflicted roughly 14,000 casualties. That was in part because a Ghurka patrol had gotten its hands on the Japanese plans for the battle. There is scant discourse of the affair which is somewhat of a shame, I would love it if you made a video of the battle; certainly, it deserves to be remembered.
Japan already had its hands more than full not only with the Chinese and Americans, they would also soon have to fight the Soviets and the British. Japanese forces in Burma had their hands full fighting roughly 150,000 Chinese/British troops around 1943, by 1945 the British had 1,000,000 soldiers and an additional 250,000 Chinese soldiers bearing down on the isolated Japanese force there. By the time British reinforcements to Burma arrived, not only had the Japanese land bridge opened from Operation Ichi-go been closed, aerial and naval resupply of the Japanese Armies fighting in Burma were closed as well. They had no way of evacuating their armies in South-east Asia to mainland Japan or for them to link up with the Japanese armies fighting up north in China, they were doomed.
If there were one battle to describe the situation Japan's South-east Asian forces were facing by 1945, it would be the Battle of Sittang Bend and I'd love it if you were to make a video of the battle. It really encapsulates how much stronger British forces in Asia had gotten since the fall of Germany when British forces in Europe were rotated eastward, and how doomed the Japanese were by the end of the war. It was also somewhat reminiscent at least to me of post-WW2 battles, what with the heavy use of indirect fires and aerial FOO/AOPs directing artillery and CAS from Lysanders.
Portuguese comandos and the paratroopers were/are the game changer’s
frances mirage fighter jet was more game changer
@@lmsdragoonhaniya8146 no bc before portuguese rangers and comandos arrive the situation in RCA was verry bad and after they arrive the situation was under control
portgual soldiers was doing the outskirts, it was Bangladesh SF that went inside central point and captured it while using their own drones for aeriel view@@tugaptgamer8466
@@tugaptgamer8466 Não tem resposta! 🤣
They failed twice before Bangladeshi sf joining them. The operation was succeed when BD soldiers joined.
What I always find mad about the internet is that there’s someone out there making these videos who has no idea I exist, but who’s making my Friday so much better
Great video as always
Love these hardy reported or forgotten battles
This a well-researched and well-portrayed video!!
Thank you!
Your channel deserves far more views
Dude! Consistently good.Consistently good.
While acknowledging the tremendous work done by the Portuguese and Bangladeshi Special Forces, any mission with a 'robust' mandate can only enforce that mandate if the Troop Contributing Countries (TCC's) have the political will, the necessary equipment, and training, not to mention the backing of their own government, to enforce the 'robust' nature of that mandate. Relying on Special Forces components to carry out a time-specific mission will not sort out the underlying problems.
True SF can only do specific tasks and do them well, political will and resources need to be committed long term to be useful.
Interesting! I'd never heard of this operation at all.
Great channell!
Would love to see you cover the Battle of Bangui (March 2013)
Our country is small, with a little population but full of warriors ... Viva Portugal os Políticos quiseram tirar o nosso orgulho national com a debandada do Ultramar, mas pelo visto não conseguiram.
Well done Portuguese Paras & Bangladeshi SF
Love this channel, most of these actions never get reported on by the media
Just entering those small rooms through doors/curtains would be a horrifying experience. Glad we have men like this fighting evil.
Amazing content as usual
Amazing
Marvel: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in history
The UN when it comes to special forces combine assault: Hold my beer
Portuguese Soldiers are Trained well for war like that , also with the the support of Bangladeshi SF, Nepalese, Pakistani Soldiers. they're all well Trained Soldiers 👍 and the Bangladeshi did a good tactics in bombarding the mosque stronghold of rebels and it did succeed, the remaining rebels surrendered. GOOD JOB SOLDIERS, SALUTE TO ALL OF YOU. 👍👍💪💪
10:13 The Bangladeshi SF were called to lead the operation with the Portuguese Paratroopers and Nepali peacekeepers as support, not the other way around.
The Portuguese are back.
15 min vid? Love to see it
I would love to see more UN content in the future it is very interesting
These are actual warriors of peace and honor 🫡
Love ❤️ from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 for the vedio.
good video mr. evermore
Thanks
the Portuguese have been fighting wars in Africa for 600 years now. i think that's the longest of any other non African people. much respect to them
They seem more high speed and commando like than regular paratroopers.
Our commandos were there as well but not at the same time
The paratroopers in Portugal are Special Forces, they've got the same level of training of the Commandos...
Why the video did not use the BEKPA-2 footage from bangladesh company which is available on youtube? makes no sense, just ask for the permission if copyright is an issue
Everyone else wearing their blue top battle bowls - Portuguese Para's were like "yeah no" 😁
The UN patch should be all thats needed tbf.
Our paras and commandos dont like to wear the blue helmet. It just a camouflage brake
Hi just wondering if you've done a Pegasus Bridge video?
You can do a video about US Turkish joint operation of Kısmetim-1 and Lucky-S and extra of Operation Albatros
Can you do one on the Battle of Bangui where the South African Defence force fought the Rebels
I am feeling proud for our Sf.
is there any footage of the engagement in RUclips?
a ton just look up portuguese paratroopers in CAR
Also footage from Portuguese Army Commandos on a latter deployment in C.A.R.
There is a footage of Bangladeshi sf in youtube.
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
The multicultural operations in African peace keeping operations are always great to see.
I never knew un soldiers could be this badass
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
0:56 Interesting seeing a blue sling on that AK. Maybe some police pattern or something...
Great
UN Peacekeeping done well, they had clear rules of engagment, clear goals and the teeth to back it up and some really really good personnel it seems. Props to the Bangladeshi SF and Portugese paras!
Salute ❤ Bangladesh ❤
It is interesting when you see Portuguese Paratroops when not in a UN role, they wear a Green beret, while the Portuguese Commandos wear a maroon beret.
Every where in the world it is the other way round.
Both very professional troops who do not seem to suffer from egos of most other NATO Paratroopers, and Commandos.
Both fought hard in african battlefields in the 20 century... Hard fought lessons that these new generations of Portuguese special forces are putting to stellar use 💪
Good stuff
The Portuguese did most of the hard work. Without them Bambari would still be in the rebels hands. Love the Portuguese, Britain oldest allies. AngloLuso alliance, Windsor treaty
DO OR DIE I love my country Bangladesh 🇧🇩❣️❤️
Can you do Neptune Spear next?
More UN battle’s please ❤
"more peacekeeping battles please" 😆
Those portuguese para special forces have great trigger discipline none of that spray and pray crap.
Literally the 2 most random countries I ever expected to see fighting together 😂
Why Bangladesh is the largest troop provider to the UN, we have built the most experienced urban combat force apart from Israel.
@@damiendehorn6350 he said most random country try to analyse his word
@@moonknight8693 And I just stated that Bangladesh is the largest provider of troops to the UN, not that random.
@@damiendehorn6350 your state doesn't match with his topic his random word does resembling that Bangladesh is random or normal country he is saying how un mission can bring different countries from two different part of the world.
