RIP John Mac, the first man on the balcony at the Iranian Embassy
I thought Derek was the first man in to the embassy . That's what I read in one of the books, I can't remember who wrote the book tbh.
@@PJA-k7q You know, it's actually never clear...but I think John Mac was the first man on the balcony for that famous window breach and Derek was the first man inside
@@JustSumGuy01 correct
The *actual* first man on the balcony, as opposed to the 24,836 people in bars on the Costa del Sol who claim to be. :p
@@JustSumGuy01 Derek is/was a very private person tbh, very unassuming.
The SAS is the great pioneer of spec ops. Love to 🇬🇧 from 🇺🇸.
Back at ya bud🇬🇧👍🇺🇸

You know the Brits are here if you need us
@@kevinworrall231 ☝🏻we know this but you didn’t have to say it. Sounds gay as fu ck!!!!!
@@robocop3961 thanks for the advice
It costs well over a million pound to train each SAS trooper. The SAS use more live rounds in a day than regular soliders use in a year.
Mac was a man of many great achievements but that moustache has to be one of his greatest
😅😅😅
Lol...Would I ever diss that tash to his face. NEVER!! :D
An absolute legend

Iconic
He hits the Hinge side in case the door has extra locks, chains and bolts on the handle side, very rarely do people reinforce the hinge side.
That is really smart. They really think of everything.
Plus there's less blind spots behind the door
@@Sierraomega1991 Fewer, not less.
@@johnwade1095 calm down
@@johnwade1095 are you Stannis Baratheon in disguise?? 😂
Worked with an ex SAS guy for a few years, he never mentioned anything about his army days. Sounds weird but the only thing that made him different was his walk - it’s hard to describe, he walked fast but without appearing to and there was something about his technique that you knew, if he wanted to, he could walk all day, every day at that speed. Sounds stupid - I know!
My mate was in the SBS and your right.
The aura and self confidence is off the scale.
Special kind of men
You may notice ex SF have a "gunslingers gate", where their dominant arm doesn't swing while walking. It's to keep their hand as close to their side arm as possible
A fun fact: the British SAS was the first to use and invented the killing House and they trained the FBI and US special forces after the fact. Also even though this footage is old I guess that the equipment and tactics they used he're (to a certain extent) were outdated even at that point. With all special forces around the world you will never see their latest equipment.
I love the fact that when she visited their training our PM Margaret Thatcher sat in the hostage seat for a training exercise usually it is a recruit as all SAS do the hostage before they do the rescue.
@@muchsake Erm, all Prime Ministers have to go to the Killing house and be involved in hostage rescue training with the SAS. Thatcher was known to be sat still and not react to it though and the Chancellor (I think it was Howe) went on his knees and she said 'Get up man' to him.
Wasn’t there on plane hijacking where I don’t think the UK was initially involved but the country of the hijacked plane asked for the SAS??
Am I remembering that right??
@@ComradeCommissarYuri maybe wrong but I think they got asked by the germans at the Munich games terrorist attack back in the 70's, but it was too late before it was all over.
@@gutz323 yeah maybe
RIP John macaleese, may you and your son be reunited in valhala 🏴
Speed. Aggression. Surprise.
I saw what he did there..
Super. Army. Soldiers.

I get the feeling that this guy seriously like us brits 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 this series is 2005 to 2006 ish era
Yep I remember watching it on TV, I also remember the episode they done involving being captured & interrogated it stated you should hold out refrain from divulging certain information for a 24 hour period to allow for a change of plan to be made by the higher ups so any information that you drip feed after this time, to make the interrogators believe they're getting somewhere with you will not impact operations.
I was told I was talking shite one day and told whoever said it must have been on the balcony like the 1000s others that claim they were in the SAS, my response was it was John McAleese the person, he soon shut up
I think I remember this more around 2000
The one thing I have realised after watching a lot of his videos, he appreciates professionalism and effectiveness regardless of nationality. It just so happens that we are the most professional and effective :) Joking aside, watch some of the clips about other nations SF units that he does, some of these guys are no muppets. Except 10th Mountain doing CQB.
I am a theatre Porter, at a hospital, one morning around 1996 , I took a patient to theatre see one of the top ear nose and throat surgeons, so on the way over this patient with a big moustache said, your going too have fun with me today boys, after he had surgery he was at one of recovery doing round house kicks and some killer moves , he was still under the influence of the Anastasia, 2 security guys sat their guarding him, in case he got out off hand. No one knew who he was , it wasn’t until years later, their happen to be a programme on Tv, called are you tough enough for the S.A.S a programme you know, and who’s stood there with a big moustache Mack, the very same guy, those two security guys would crap themselves if they had only none who he was, he could have killed us all he wanted too 😂 I wish I had none who he was at the time, just to shake his hand , what he has done, and seen, amazing. Sorry it’s a long one 🇬🇧👍
Under the influence of Anastasia :(
@@ek8710 thank you 😊
Much love from the East Side of the Atlantic to the West.
@Combat Arms Channel - you should do a mini bio of Paddy Mayne, one of the founders of the SAS. Was an amateur boxer (got to the final of the British universities heavyweight tournament), and international rugby player for Ireland, and represented the British Lions in South Africa, joined up at start of WW2, became a commando, famously would punch out senior officers he didn't like (he was big drinker, would get drunk then shoot places up LoL), joined the SAS, was single handedly responsible for destroying over 100 German aircraft on the ground, behind enemy lines in the desert, when he ran out of explosives he would climb in the cockpit and rip out the instrument panels with his bare hands, when David Stirling was captured he took command of SAS and took them through Europe and Germany, was awarded the DSO 4 times (should have had the VC), was awarded the Croix de Guerre and Legion D'Honeur by the French, was just about the most decorated British soldier in WW2, afterwards became secretary or chairman of law society of Ireland (it's what he studied at university), and died when he crashed his Riley Roadster into the back of a coal truck - at just 40 years old. Incredible man, achieved more in 40 years than most people would achieve in 40 lifetimes.
What a man Paddy was he didn't get the plaudits he should of because the army thought he was psychotic but what a soldier
@Hew Jarsol Probably because the early days of the SAS are so fantastical that audiences would think it's bullshit and Hollywood is always going to prefer having a patriotic American circlejerk
@Hew Jarsols there is one currently being made, not about mayne but about the early days in Africa.
Gentleman "jim almonds" described by David Stirling as "pure gold dust" shouldn't be forgotten
I'm a Coldstream guard veteran (queens guard) and one thing I have always admired about the British army, Navy and RAF and the American equivalent is that we have always complemented each others ways and morals. We adopt alot of the same tactics and procedures and that works so well when you have to be as one. Love the videos brother, your a great guy who is very well educated and presuming decorated soldier who must of been an asset to any deployment. 💂♂️💂♂️🤜🤛🇬🇧🇺🇸
My brother-in-law Glen H was in the SAS he passed away some years ago so I can tell you this. Glen was in Northern Ireland undercover when he was recognised by someone in his old regiment who was in Ireland, that man was shipped out the very next day.
Typically in CQB and hostage situations, they don't normally use burst fire, as shown in the video, as the spread could hit a hostage. They normally double tap. In fact, its said they'll double tap the open mouth of a stunned terrorist to make sure they hit the brain stem to ensure the terrorist doesn't squeeze the trigger in a death grip.
Had a friend who was related to someone who worked on the autopsies after the Iranian embassy siege. All the dead terrorists had double double tap wounds. Several had multiple sets where they had been shot by two or more SAS.
John Mac was the actual soldier who blew the window of the Iranian Embassy that the world seas then he want in and done his job, his son actually died in Afghanistan as a Sergeant in the army, allegedly months away from trying selection
The SAS are OG and wrote the book on Special Forces not just CQB ! They do it all!
I saw an interview with the person in charge of Heathrow airport at the time of the Iranian embassy siege and he said when COBRA calls and asks you to do something you don’t question it you just do it. CORBRA stands for Cabinet Office Briefings Rooms
Briefing Room 'A'
Talking about the ambient noise and the aircraft flying lower over the Iranian embassy. Both the gas board and the electricity board were instructed to conduct 'essential work' in the street too. They had the jack hammers going to add to the noise. One of the terrerists actually mentioned he wouldn't like to live in London because of all the noise !! Well, the hooligans from Hereford saw to that 😀
RiP Macca, probably getting pissed with his boy.
The freakin shooting from the hip is epic lol. Just pure violence. Fun to see how much the tactics and approach has changed in close to 15-20 years. I used to watch these almost as if they're training videos haha. Love to see more of them
They're so fascinating!
@@CombatArmsChannel This TV series was made in 2003/2004.
Dude, you are so humble and appreciative of other forces around the world. It's really nice to see that you're not the typical OOrah Marine that we typically witness.
Having said that the S.A.S don't have many critics ..... that live to tell the tale anyway!
The SAS and the commandos, the grandparents of modern species forces.
Watched the entire series when it was originally broadcast on t.v. in the u.k. and was total enthralled by it. Never missed it an episode. It was hosted by Eddie Stone (he's the guy addressing the camera) retired Sergeant 22 SAS. He was at the Iranian Embasy Seige in London. The real deal.
Worked for an RAF exchange officer who was former SAS.
I was shocked hear, that during live fire shoot house training, they use live volunteers as "hostages". This video shows that in a few quick clips.
RIP Mac, and your legendary tache!
Great video, the special air service is the best of the best and every other SF is founded around them
Edit: nice royal marine berets and USMC dress uniform hat
The trooper talking about the frame charge on the wall, is the trooper in the Iranian seige using it on the 1st floor window. Most of the procedures was invented by the sas and the rest copy.
The Scottish guy with the moustache taking about frame charges is (was) John Macaleese, the guy who, famously, blew the front of the Iranian Embassy with...a frame charge 5th may 1980.
Don't know why but I just started LMAO when I saw this😂
@@Climbacliffandjumpoff weirdo lol now I’m LMAO at you 🤣🤣🤣
RIP JOHN MAC aka CAPTAIN PRICE 🙏🏻👨🏻 ‘bravo - six - going dark 🔥
This show made me appreciate and want to get an MP5.
Liveth for Evermore did a breakdown of a joint SAS, Delta Force, Navy seal, Ranger unit called Task Force Black. I know you enjoy Liveth for Evermore content, you should react to that too.
Task Force Black = SAS and SBS.
During Iraq, TF Green = CAG, TF Red = 75th Rangers and TF Blue = DEVGRU.
I believe the Double Tap technique was created by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in WW2, for agents who were compromised and using their small pistol as a last resort.
It's a great series, there is an episode where they sit down and discuss the toll it takes on family serving in the sas and what it's like when they hit civvy street... which is worth a watch
You should react to the South African Special Task Force, the tier-one police special mission unit of South Africa. Three documentary episodes where a film team follows them, with insane scenarios, you actually see live hostage rescues in it. It is absolutely crazy, and the operators are so very professional and calm under pressure, it is insane.
I saw that. The are hardcore. I read a book called killing zone about this guy who joined the paras(U.K.) then went of and joined the recce commandos(SA) they were also badass.
@@zapbrannigan9770 Where can i watch it
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- Here: ua-cam.com/video/rUlk7XGqFCM/v-deo.html
Who trained them 😂😂😂
@@peterhudson9590 idk Probably SF from different branches
Owners of Special forces! Love from the us
Well, 2 months later its still up. I love your respect and reactions to our SF guys. I'm glad we work alongside your SF teams too. Semper Fi.
🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸 Together we're strong. 👍
'Raising the ambient noise' etc - kids learn quickly that when you're trying to sneak around your house to surprise someone, you use covering noises like a car going past outside, to make swift advances, and then become still again, and maybe wait for a loud scene on the TV.
Haha yes Defo. I did the same when I was a kid and it always worked lol I was sneaky as hell 🤣
This series was 1st shown on TV in the years 2003-04 according to the internet. I would have guessed that as I watched it at the time. Thank you for taking the time, and having the respect, for our elite forces. Your enthusiasm is plain to see and infectious! I'm off to watch the series, again.
I remember watching this at the time, was in college and attending CCF Army summer camps, loved all this stuff. Good times
I am a SAS fan and find this video interesting i like your other videos keep it up man
I remember watching this episode on tv around 2003 so its not too old. Great channel by the way.
Iv worked with the sas, best soldiers. They was like super men
Am absolutely loving your channel, am going back months and months watching everything you have previously put out.
Much respect, and many thanks for you appreciating our Special Forces.
Again, huge respect and thanks. ✌🙏
Suprise, speed, and overwhelming aggression is how all fights are won
Watched this with my ex-para uncle back when I was younger. God I miss him but these episodes are pure nostalgia for me. Awesome as always
This was a favorite show I used to watch WAY back. I knew a British paratrooper who introduced me to this show.
I love the Story of when Princess Diana visited the SAS and insisted on being a hostage in a live firing drill in the kill house! They threw a flashbang through the door, and a stray spark caught her hair and set it on fire!! 🤣
The sheer Scottishness is overwhelming!
That's because the Scots are ace.
Well us Scots created the SAS and we also created the Marines and the Light Infantry.
I also remembering hearing something like 70% of the SAS are Scots. Dont know how true it is but pretty cool :P
@@overthewebb do you know any good videos about how and when the SAS first started?
RIP John MacAleese the most iconic trooper in history, him jumping the balcony then placing the frame charge on the window of the Iranian embassy will forever epitomise the legend that is the SAS Trooper!
@17:49 I'm pretty sure that fast roping vid on the right is the special boat service liberating and evacuating the Kuwait Embassy in 91 :)
It's also remoured to be 148 bty RA....and was more of an optics thing 🤷
I recommend the movie who dares wins. Starring Lewis Collins. He was a reserve para/ actor. He passed selection in the SAS. But didn't get badged as his celebrity status would have comprised him on missions. But he was a badass. The movie is based on the Iranian embassy siege
Finest fighting force in the world.
The benchmark for everyone else.
As far as my research goes the only unit that uses live ammunition in training scenarios.
I lived next to there base in Hereford u.k..many S.A.S train on the black mountains, and parachute. The local farmers find bodies at times on the hills and mountains, and the military cover it up..but many have been found.
Love seeing you get so excited and geeking out over everything .. lol !
Haha it's cool to see you geeking out😆 Great vid dude! Always great to get your knowledge too
I love the look on your face when the video starts, BIGGGG grin with the thought of some action about to start hehe !! .. S.A.S and a extra S....Speed, Aggression, Surprise and Scottish lol !!
The reason I have good faith in you pal is my room looks a lot like yours. :D Bar mine being Fallout helmets. The Advanced and the T45 to be precise.
The operator at 20.24 is Pete Winner. sas legend.
Respect ✌🏴✌🇺🇲👊
Loony toon hammer. He couldnt help but have a little grin after that hit!
John McAleese. SAS legend.
I think they take the hinges out so they can push the door over instead of just opening it and creating a blind spot behind it. You also don't have to worry about a guy standing right near the door, cus it's gonna be landing on him
Best SAS story I read was of van thieves try to steal said van.. little did they know that the van was actually full of SAS on a training exercise, they opened the doors to be faced with MP5's 😂
i know its an old film but "Who Dares Wins" is always enjoyable and the star Lewis Collins actually went through selection for the SAS.
He was actually going to join 21 SAS. The only reason they didn't take him was that, after The Professionals, they felt his face was too well known.
ua-cam.com/video/qEZx6hfdjPg/v-deo.html
Chris Thrall interviews an ex-intelligence corps operative who was friends with Lewis Collins, and also in the movie, who lays to rest that story once and for all.
Speed Aggression Surprise. SAS !!
Made me laugh when you said it's not going to end well for them
John mac and Eddie stone absolute legends both Scottish too 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 love the videos mate👍
Around 23:20 I love the reference to the double tap. Martial arts is my thing, and we have all important double tap, but for us it means something very, very different. For us, double tap means we're saying to our opponent, OK, stop fighting me now, I'm done. Actually, when I word it like that, perhaps there is some similarity after all.
My late father trained alongside the sas as do a select few of your own special forces outfits, US troops used to get called Craphats, and were known for following orders and plans to the letter but also for calling for extraction if the plans fell apart, that was why the cross forces training began, this was a long time ago and presumably things have improved, but if you train troops by shouting constantly, you get blind obedience and a fear of acting without orders, btw I met John Mac once, it was unfortunately at the old man's funeral
Top video. Need to react to operation jubilee between SAS and Navy Seals whenever you get the chance.
Maybe a interview with a ex sas member would be interesting, they maybe be able to tell u more about the sas, hello from britian
Oh, I think I saw this show when it first aired! I remember that scenario! Anyway, I've just stumbled across your channel today, and I'm impressed with your professional attitude, your knowledge, and your respect for our armed services. (I'm British)
Filmed at the ex welsh guards barracks by Stirling Services. I’ve played a few airsoft events around 2003-2005 there including being ‘trained’ by some of the guys in the video. Very lucky.
Think you need to do a video on this event tom!!!
@@James-C24 I’ve got a few photos from it. Might do a table talk episode on old school events.
Stirling Airsoft really are the real deal! 🙌🏽
@@AnvilAirsoftTV that sound perfect!!!!
most homes in the uk have chains and other types of locks away from the door handle, so removing the hidges is a safe bet
Great reaction. I've never been in the military but it makes sense to me taking a door off it's hinges completely rather than just breaking the catch gives greater visibility to both sides of a room.
It’s great to see someone write I’ve never been in the military to these reactions. Neither have I my friend but the amount of SF people who comment is amazing. They all say I heard. Fucking embarrassing 😳
In one of my engineering classes we looked at that military jaws of life (whatever it was called) mechanism and it was crazy. It theoretically amplified the input force by near infinity but the tolerances of the machining didn’t allow it to reach that obviously. Still you could power that thing with a tiny linear actuator and it would cut through steel car doors like butter. So cool.
You watching 👀 this video comprende ✌
I was hooked on this series when it first aired. It is definitely worth checking more of it out
17:10 "Quick demonstration please john"
John: "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS, WE SAID NO NAMES!"
Yeah I thought that, but John might be a fake name, if not, John is a pretty common name so maybe he thought it doesn’t matter.
The whole series is terrific. The close protection episodes are my favourites, but the whole thing is well worth rewatching every few years.
Eddie Stone was also on staff for “SAS: Are You Tough Enough”, the very low-drama precursor to modern SAS reality shows.
Received my patch 🇬🇧, good video as usual.
Good grip on fast roping but not to tight. The skill is gripping not to hard but not to slack
Good to have a lot more of your personal input on the video. Enjoyed it
I was in an episode of Future Weapons, on Discovery channel, we used a Gatecrasher breaching charge to blow a hole through a wall. Very impressive.
Try reacting to the embassy scene in the 80s movie " who dares wins" with Lewis Collins. Apparently actual sas members were used in the filming. Who dares wins sas raid.
When l was in the special constabulary we were asked to volunteer for a event on weekend , it turned out we were to be hostages at a RAF base , we were put into different rooms and told to wait . Then the window went in and four men dived through hole , picked us up and into a corridor , thrown down the stairs to a man on each landing and carried out and thrown to the floor . Two broken ankles ( not me ) , everyone was in shock .
Then we saw about 20 men climb aboard a blacked out coach and drove off , we were then told it was the SAS , all the regular police thought it very funny .
More, more, more SAS Please!!!
In Briton we new about the SAS long before the Iranian embassy, they were formed in the desert during WW2.
Commando training near Fort William massive monument there
There have always been countless Scottish in the SAS. The warrior race.
Not a race.
I like this dude.
He loves the British SAS you can see and as someone from Hereford who's also an obvious fanboy it's Effin awesome to see, especially coming from a yank.
Nah it's great.
Semper fi dude
RIP Mac
RIP Mac! 🙏🏽
Looking forward to this, liked it before even watching it.
SAS and CAC, a match made in heaven...
Love your vids! Check out when SBS managed to put backpack nuclear weapons at the most secure places in the US Military! It was an exercise of course. Much Respect to the US Forces!!
It's very good watching your videos,your not just telling how good the USA is so good. You say it how its done .you r a Tom man keep it going Darren 2 para
Not sure if this is true or where I heard it but maybe you can clarify, I heard originally the SAS opted for the double tap technique because they favour lower calibre rounds to reduce the chance of a through and through shot, potentially hitting a hostage behind the target. So this means less damage to the target so going for a double tap ensures the target goes down.
Plus 9mm pistols hold more rounds than say a .45.
Great vids great guy...
G.B. the U.S.A.
I used to use something similar doing rope access. It’s called a STOP.. made by petzl. Look for one very simple bit of kit. 2 cams and a lever. The harder you squeeze, the faster you go down!
The men in Black YES
