- The history of the British Empire colonial legacy in Northern Ireland is well known the world over but a there is a largely untold story of the firefights between and close quarter battles exchanged between the provisional IRA, the British army and the elite SAS. Although the IRA often employed “terrorist“ techniques within the city of London and on England‘s mainland not much is said of the often guerilla warfare techniques of the British Special Air Service in Northern Ireland since the beginning of this conflict. In this episode we will examine how the history of the Special Air Service affected the training of every elite force after it and how the close quarter battles in Northern Ireland in the late 1970s through to the millennium shaped both special forces and resistance methods.

This show is awesome and the host couldn't be any better or more likeable
Aye right I served in NI and never saw any soldier wear sunglasses.
Yes you probably never encountered them, thank you for your service 🙏 ❤️
It was Agent Smith out of the Matrix.
Not many people know, but In my time in Operation Banner, a lot of the work the SAS did was handed off to specially raises units composed of the top blokes from infantry units, it wasn't a cake walk or something you could volunteer for, you had to be 'dicked' for it, they were trained by the SAS and the intelligence services and there are a few of them... it wasn't easy either.... these units were very different from traditional military, with a lot of high tech gear, they were known as Close Observation Platoons, we didn't have Glocks but had the std Browning high power pistol, but C8 carbines were not uncommon and some of us had HK53's, when the L85's came in to service we didnt tend to use them, at least in my unit, am old now
So you were a murderer... for the F.R.U and other british terrorists units...
Same weapons as the sas from wot iv heard online, paras have units that do alot of work with sbs and sas at least in Iraq amd Afghanistan
The flock wasn’t used in NI. It was only introduced into the British Military about 2015.

Browning Hi Power in NI.
@@gunnerbob1855 wasn’t it known as the ND machine?
@@vh1775 Sure was,we had an incident in Belfast 1977 where a cook was killed through some idiot messing about with one. (before the comments start appearing) he was a decent chef.
Opening seen where they search the target on his mattress (where his weapon is most likely to be) set the tone for this shite video. I was in NI and you won’t hear anything about it from me or my mates.
Well, if you’re going to do a film about the SAS, filming the entire thing in the Czech Republic, without a single interview with an ex SAS member makes sense 🤔
😂
It's all very secretive, it wasn't long ago when you heard nofthing fro them at all, now you have tv shows with ex sas sbs soldiers and a couple have wrote books
Browning 9 mil was used in NI, some decent footage from the troubles but a awful lot of this video was not on point
Unfortunately a lot of this is like a video game with almost no coverage of all the important espionage - like urban skills the Regiment acquired over the water...often from people less kinetic than themselves
is this a rerun?
No body armour 😮
I'm the United States in San Bernardino county
A better or possible intro to Northern Ireland at 06.00 would have been to very clearly say that The Regiment ( SAS or 22 SAS to the rest of you ) while still only door kickers there got jealous of the Det aka 14th Int Coy ... undercover plain clothes male and female army operatives the British army had been training very exhaustively and then sending over the water, yes that`s how we
call it .They knew they were losing out in skills like surveillance both on foot and car, IR photography, lock picking etc and pestered the powers to let a small number of Regiment troopers yearly learn those skills on assignment with the Det
I just hate that term "Operator" it just seems like a term an overly testosterone charged cop would come up with...🤮
I feel like you do. I preferred being named an “équipier” (team-mate) in 1980, than an “opérateur” as they’re called in Belgium now. It could be a NATO “harmonisation” thing imposed by the US colleagues. Members of Belgian Special Forces then mainly came from the Para-Commando Regiment, which now called the Special Operations Regiment. I think it is representative of the times now that certain traditions are deleted. Though I understand why, I believe it is a flawed concept.
It comes from the yanks, they needed a legal term for their spec ops guys, read Inside Delta Force by Eric Haney.
As a former RSM of the SAS said on an Instagram video,not once did he here th e term ,operator getting used,as he thought it referred to someone who operated telephones or heavy machinery etc, like a telephone operator or a digger operator.
Digger!?!...shovel operator... describe a potentially harmful person and how he might look like? Machine Gun operator ... as for Soviets does any body seen KGB Oprative?
@rostyslavadamchuk3300 We don't care for the Russians in the west.They're to busy trying to deal with the Ukranians.
Not actual footage😢
Sas don't film its secret lol, I get your point tho.. would be great content 👌
No offence, and looking at the comments, it’s interesting, but nothing to do with the SAS, who drill different to this dude.
There was a great programme, you can watch on UA-cam that’s about 29 years old now. Hosted by the legendary John Mac and a few other veteran SAS members. One episode goes into SAS Black hit CQB and hostage rescue. Far better than this.
What a load of shit. The SAS never used the Glock or MP5A2, complete load of horse shit.
Mr Blobby?
the sas are the best in the world we train your people plus they are supported by 1 para these are not regular soldiers were sas are 1 para are 1st battalion the parachute regiment
No sunshine SaS training is open to all regiments. Marines go to SBS. Guards are good soldiers but often to tall to pass endurance tests - paras are equally good soldiers but have higher pass rates as smaller wirery guys with higher ability to pass endurance training plus killer instinct helps
What a load of shite
Why is it a load of shite?
Do you seriously believe that any IRA cell was ever infiltrated by a member of the SAS?
🤠🥰😇
The UK looks like a third world colony now! 😂😂
Dont know where you got the sas story lifting the player from. But that is rubbish. The sas do not work in such an amateur way. I served 2 years in N/Irland mainly in a c,o.p unit. Working alongside sas, doing the same job as them every day. This is not how they worked. I then joined 23 sas after i left regular infantry. Whoever does the groundwork for this show, needs sacking.
What complete garbage. NI Troop , SAS was the GOC personal special force, The Bde Areas each got a Troop of Det and in Urban Areas BG converted Recce Platoons into COP. Bde Comd also got uniformed Patrols platoon that reinforced det and did cordon support for NI Troop. 9mm was Hi power browning, rifles G3 or an armalite
