      I remember reading a few news reports just after it happened saying one of the crew members caught the men hiding (near the engine room i think or in an open cargo container) I don't know if its fake news but this is the reason i know that they did it and also the reason they didn't prep weapons beforehand. Spur of the moment kinda thing. They probably didn't even know they were that close to the British shoreline as well. I can't remember where i read this thought could of been from any of the major news websites.

      @@unitforce7417 Quite rightly said. Sometimes the rep is so great that the just-as-tenacious training of the other SF of the world gets overlooked.
      That said...the GSG9 was trained by the SAS in the formation phases. At Mogadischu, two SAS men led the assault by breaching the aircraft entryway (they were deemed specialists, and the German govt chose to take all measures for the safety of the hostages - on its own a great credit to the political process then in place).
      I believe the Canadians have greatly accredited SF units too...not to mention the US SEALs, Green Berets, etc etc.

      the reason is because traditionally we have only ever had a small regular military, so we have had to focus more on quality than quantity. because the US has such a massive military budget and a huge army it isn't as necessary for them to be as specialised. they can simply overwhelm with force and superior equipment. but the british have to find some way of multiplying force so the emphasis has had to be on quality. that said the US special forces and british special forces do a lot of training together and share intelligence and methods etc.

    I remember this I could see this, this was like 10 minutes away from me. When the ship docked after the incident I could see it from my work which I was on the other side of the river.
    Brilliant job lads 👍🏻

      That's probably why they hijacked the ship in the first place so we can pay for their bed and board.
