Actually, pakistani withdrew earlier on after traveling halfway to the war zone leaving only the Malaysian and American to continue on. It was only the Malaysians' Condor that saved the US Rangers. Malaysian suffered one casualty and 9 injuries. I heard that a Malaysian film house will be reenacting the events to tell their side of the stories about the 19th Royal Malay Regiment (Mechanized unit) struggle. From their veterans account, their effort is by no means an easy feat. One account which interests me is when a Malaysian platoon commander ordered his men to blast the first floor of a building to bring down an antiaircraft artillery so that air support can fly in to give air cover to the ground rescue team at the extraction sites. I'm so keen to watch the Malaysian side of the events because their battle sounds amazing too.

One thing that almost never gets mentioned - the Quick Reaction Force comprised of troops from the 10th Mountain Division attempted to drive into the city to mount a rescue at the crash sites, but were stopped at the K-4 traffic circle by fierce resistance. They engaged in a half-hour firefight, called in air support, but it wasn't enough to break through. This was a huge reason why the battle ended up lasting as long as it did.
Clinton gave a bad call, by not allowing APCs and Spectre Gunship support from the beginning. APCs alone would make a great difference and road blocks could have been eliminated with specialized equipment.
@@aleksandersokal5279 Spectre Gunship? in the middle of the town? you must be insane. Other air support such as Little Bird and Cobra is probably viable so i wont comment on that. Also 10th Mountain Div only have HMVVW which is not good to withstand relentless small arms fire.
@@muhammadharithzulkeflee9866 Not insane, the 40mm section of the gun is far from overkill and Garrison did demand gunship support. The only armament that would go too far would be the B2 bomber or the Eagles.
@@aleksandersokal5279 Even with 40mm it was still pretty much unwise to perform such duties in the area which is densely packed with non combatants and hostile. But i have to acknowledge that having Spectre support will definitely help suppressing hostiles around the HMVVW and save SOB and downed crew way earlier.
@@muhammadharithzulkeflee9866 Well, when the Task Force Ranger got surrounded it would have became extremely useful to flatten the buildings (that you know mostly filled by enemy combatants) in the immediate proximity of the force to give them breathing space. Moreover, the Spectre gunship offers fire support which unlike the helicopters is not at risk of being shot down.
BHD will always be my top most favourite movie. The cinematography, the soundtrack, the atmosphere, just wonderful. It makes me realise how fortunate I am to have a great family and all my friends IMO
Another inaccuracy is the way the whole area looks. The Mogadishu portrayed in Black Hawk Down looks nothing like the real Mogadishu. In Black Hawk Down the city just looks like a generic middle eastern city. The area where the actual battle took place was a lot more suburban, with smaller buildings no more than 1 or 2 stories high, and there were green trees and vegetation all over the place. In the movie it just looks sand colored and completely barren, and the buildings are all too large and tall. The battle scenes are good, but they don't capture the look of the battle at all.
They shoot the movie in Morocco and the people acting are now Somalis or East African at all. Typical American........ They’ve no clue about geography or other cultures.
I’ve heard a lot of soldiers say that this is the most realistic war movie ever made. I had a chance to meet Jeff streuker who was a ranger there and consulted them when they made the movie. All the extras are real Rangers and they even had the original pilots fly the helicopters for the film.
You're actually correct on the portion for the pilots. The pilot of Star 4-1, the Little Bird that was the first responder to the Super 6-1 crash site that evacuated the 2 delta snipers Busch and Smith, was CWO Keith Jones and he actually plays himself here in the movie, basically re-enacting his experience.
@LTrain45 45 I met one of them and other combat vets and they all say it’s portrayal of war is accurate. And the movie presents most things the way they happened. One of the only differences being they didn’t mark enemy positions for attacks, they marked their own location and said shoot everything else
@LTrain45 45 like numbers don’t lie, casualties on the American side were like 20 and they were all rangers, green berets, and seals. They don’t die easy. And there were hundreds of Somalis dead. The numbers alone show that the fighting was intense and some of the most intense fighting most people have seen in their military careers
What a freaking lie. The book scarred me for life. I understood for the first time why many vets come home messed up. The movie was NOT accurate at all.
Five helicopters went down. Grimes, aka John Stebbins, was the only character who got their name changed. John won a silver star in this battle and was looked up to by his men as a legend during the battle. 1998 John was convicted and sentenced to jail do raping a 12-year-old girl.
Interesting, considering I know and served with alot of the actual guys there including Col. Danny McKnight who said that most of the movie was accurate. The crash site of Super 61 was not as large as they made it. "Hoot" was made up of several Opetators there. The guy talking couldn't even get it right on the marking of the vehicle and who it was for. It was not for Autto. Everyone there said Hollywood couldn't show the ferocity of the battle..For a movie its about 90% accurate. We all know Hollywood will have their own take on somethings.
Or the fact that 99/100 people who saw this movie says that Task Force Ranger failed their mission because of the loss of two Blackhawks and the lives of soldiers. When the mission was to capture Aidid’s Advisors, which we did... That would be like saying the Allies lost ww2 because we lost Pearl Harbor...
An interesting fact I heard, Mohamed Aidid studied old soviet tactics to fighting urban warfare and studied American response tactics. Aidid knew that if he had his militia bring down a helicopter, US troops would reposition on the crash site and make the situation hard for the US to win. Also the RPGs they used were modified to be able to fire at the near 90° angle, and also used rockets that could detonate and a approximated height
B Lo of course an stuck up American prick like you who think you’re higher then everyone else. And also those 3rd world countries pricks like you enjoy to make fun of can handle an epidemic better than your joke of a nation.
The movie is very inaccurate, but wrong does not equal bad. The scenery, the soundtrack, the firefights, the dramatic moments, etc, are really good in my opinion. I deadass watched this movie like 20 times, and I'm not tired of it. My point is, you're right, it's inaccurate, but it's not a bad movie.
I had to laugh when they mentioned that Somalis complained about non-Somalis playing Somalis, while watching an Aussie play an American (dodgy accent and all).
At least in most cases you can't tell an Aussie apart from an American but Somali's(East African) actually physically look very different than the West African people that were used in the movie
Somalis, if they haven't already, should make a movie telling their side. I was in the Army, stationed in Alaska, when this happened. As a soldier, dying is part of the job. I was most upset that they were dragging the corpses through the streets.
Just to make a suggestion, I was wondering about the accuracy of "Fires On The Plain". I love the movie, and if nothing else I think it's worth it to recommend you give it a watch. Have a nice day!
I Dont care about the negative stuff the say about the film Those men fought hard harder than ever and if you say otherwise you couldnt do anything they did. They have Respect and they deserved it
People need to know the difference between a movie and a documentary, the movie is made to attract attention and a documentary is to collect information and tell the history from certain view points, and May be still no to accurately true, imagine at certain events where 1000 people participated? How many opinions will come out? Blackhawk down, is only a movie, do you get it?
The director even made it clear he wanted to make his own thing because he didn't feel that he could do the true story justice plus it gave him more creative freedom.
One of the biggest inaccuracies I’ve ever learned about the movie is the main character himself. SGT. Matt Eversman left with the first convoy and stayed back at the hangar to help with wounded and resupply for the entire rest of the battle. Also, the crash site of 6-1 went relatively uncontested as opposed to the events of the movie. According to Dan Schilling (the CSAR PJ on scene), the Somalis eventually forgot they were even there, and they hid in a hut next to the helicopter the rest of the night as Somalis just walked around paying no mind to them. Last but not least, 4 black hawks in total were shot down over the course of the battle. The helicopter that inserted the CSAR team onto 61’s crash site, Super 68, was hit by an RPG during the insertion and crash landed safely outside of the combat zone. Super 62, inaccurately portrayed as only receiving small arms fire, was also hit by an RPG shortly after inserting Gordon and Shurghart to secure 64’s crash site, with delta sniper Brad Halling losing his leg in the attack. It crash landed safely back at base.
One of Black Hawk Down's biggest failures is downplaying the strategic ineptitude that put soldiers in that position. Civilian and militia resistance was so high partly because a previous failed attempt to kill Aididi led to ~200 local elders and community leaders getting blown up in a raid. It feels both disrespectful to the Somali people and tactically effed, to just fly troops in by daylight weeks after that.
The movie was NOT faithful to the book and what I presume were the real events. So many people who have watched this movie have NEVER read the book and it's pathetic. I read the book as a college freshman and for the first time, I understood why so many vets were messed up. The Somali militia would advance on US troops with women and children as human shields. They literally had NO CHOICE but to kill them or they would die. They had to shoot women and kids who were carrying ammunition or pointing out troop locations. The attack helicopters would kill scores of people during their gun runs. What bothered me a lot was the portrayal of special forces. In the book, they're just highly experienced, highly professional soldiers with an attitude. Once everything goes sideways, they're fighting for survival like everyone else. They were NOT the Avengers like they were shown to be in the movie. They provided good tips to the Rangers but it was shown that they were as human as anyone else. I couldn't tolerate this movie after reading the book. Given that it got assistance from the US military, anything making it look bad was scrubbed and sanitized. I do not think America would like to see the honest adaptation of the book. Horror movies just haven't compared since I read it. Enemy at the Gates, the book, was also very disturbing.
I remember the director saying he wanted to make his own thing because he didn't feel like he could do the true story justice. People need to differentiate between film and reality nobody that was there or knows the true story downplays the Malaysian and Pakistani involvement. When I was a kid I knew some of the people that were there and they had nothing but good things to say about them.
Portraying Somalia like this was bad. They only showed the poor site of Mogadishu and hid the beautiful sites of the city of which are greater than the poor ones. By the way, it's the power of media. That's how Africa is shown to the world.
Still the most accurate of any war movie... I agree it’s amazing. The scene where Eric Bana and his team sneak the enemy firing rockets into the building was the most “HELL YEAH, MURICA!” Moment of any movie! Lol.
Well ya but there were still 10’s of thousands of Somalis outside and they were left without a lot of their previous advantages like NOD’s, medical equipment, the night and didn’t know how big the enemy was and did suffer quite a bit
Being put into a firefight regardless of your status or experience in the military would be pretty hectic. And 2 black hawks getting shot down on a simple snatch and grab sounds pretty desperate
TheCosmicAlien 7 firefights aren't always "hectic" and I'm not saying there wasn't some serious stress going on to say the least, but they knew worse case they were gonna get out of there and extract the birds as well. The movie makes it seem like there was no hope and it was a last stand on all fronts
If you purchased it with a credit card or rented it from you tv etc it's not surprising. We are constantly being watched and listened to for advertisement and security.
It's not accurate because it's Hollywood movie, full of bs Edit: some comments talk about the movie failure to show Malaysian soldier role in the battle, and after some research I found out it's true. That prove that this is another Hollywood BS
It's okay.. you guys can watch BAKARA. The movie based on what happened in Bakara market in Somalia at that time, the movie will release in 2021.. which told the undiscovered history and the truth behind Somalia war with Delta forces who almost get killed without Malaysia armies intervene, and save their ass. And to opened the eyes of America people about the small country also has their elite forces who are very courageous and brave. Don't worries we are MALAYSIA will put all the name heroes even Pakistan Armies also Somalia innocent citizens who also involved to help Malaysia armies and us armies get out safely.
Complaints about the somali actors and language is idiotic. They're extras and the language is just gibrish as far as the target audience for this movie. Somali organizations boycotting the movie, get real, this was never going to be a movie that holloywood was hoping the somalis in the US or anywhere would flock to see.
Malaysia banned this movie also, because they're disrespect Malaysian Special Force are not involved in this movie. This movie is totally garbage because they don't follow true events.
@@oneforallallforone1821 Since this is hollywood that's probably valid complaint with the realism. What involvement did the malasians have in the actual event?
@@onetimer44 Read the book They provided armored cars and drivers for the final extraction from the Super 6-1 crash site. One of their drivers was killed in action when an RPG hit his vehicle. Or you can read the repetitive posts from indignant Malaysians which bury every single Blackhawk Down video.
I work with an Army retiree that was part of the Ranger detachment sent to Mogadishu at the time the movie is set (no, he wasn't portrayed in the film anywhere). Really nice guy, but very soft spoken when it comes to his military service. Being the only veteran among us, we were, naturally, curious about his experiences. However, no one wanted to actually ASK him about what happened since, first and foremost, we were concerned about the insensitivity of asking him to dredge up potentially painful memories and second, we all assumed he was asked those questions all the time and had grown tired of answering them. Eventually, of course, the question came up and this is more or less the only thing he told us about the movie: "It was hard to watch."
I'm Somalian and this is not even close the truth happen that day , we killed 18 americans plus 984 from other countries only that match , and fact is we where fighting for or country ! are we wrong for our rights if we defends our people! the funniest thing is the fight was only one tribe that called HABARGIDIR . imagine all somalis are in that match what will happen !run boy run!.... there is no place for America in Somalia.
Pakistani 19Lancers and 15FrontierForce rescued the US forces. Noone could even think of leaving the football ground without the troop of tanks. APCs and infantry were soft targets. Tanks QRF at front and rear inbetween APCs rescued the American forces and off course a black hawk in the air where the squadron commander would sit and command the ops. Pakistan Army have all those letters and appreciations displayed in there respective regiments.
Actually the other 3 black hawk were hit by an RPG but didn't went down 2 of them returned to base and 1 landed at the city docks that was actually a Pakistani safe zone
I thought the biggest technical inaccuracies was the first crash site scene where it’s shown that Chalk 4 had to haul their ass’s through the entire city as they were the only ones to protect the downed crew members. In reality right after the 1st Black Hawk went down a Mini Bird came down and 2 pilots, Karl Mayor and Keith Jones, directly flew down and saved the 2 surviving crew members while applying covering fire and flew out within minutes at least according to one of the documentaries I saw on the subject and they also had the emergency CSAR team out there so it wasn’t just Chalk 4 at the crash site plus also the other Chalks on the mission to went to the 1st crash site And also something I’m a little bit unsure about but I believe the book went into was Eversmann and much of Chalk 4 was evacuated on 5e Lost Convoy before the end of the day and didn’t stay fo the night. At least as believe that was covered in the book I’m not entirely sure but also Seconds from Disaster Documentary covered that a lot of Chalk 4 got out it’s weird to think the movie thought Chalk 4 was literally one of the only forces out there that day but I guess the movie needed a central cast to follow I’m not sure why they didn’t just break them up and cover the other teams out there that day. But solid movie for people that aren’t familiar with the subject and it almost acts as a documentary for the uninitiated although I will say the Somalis are depicted as an omnipresent threat and not really as a separate group of people but as one machine which is a little inaccurate
Since it's a "Based on" Movie, i don't see any problem about some scenaristics simplifications,... I mean, "Based on" never stand for a 100% accuracy, but to pinpoint a high value of it. and on this, the Movie is pretty accurate from an American PoV So, as we all know now, all PoV can't be included as wanted by everyone (Pakistani/Indian PoV which have been described by their own officials as insufficient), because it's only a 2 hours movie,... To me (and i'm not american,...), this movie relate events that US.Soldiers/Rangers/Delta could have seen during this battle, with a pretty good accuracy (but not 100%, as said earlier due to scenaristics simplifications). The most important thing is, to not forget that this battle occured, why and it's context. alongside, to not forget those soldiers risking their lives for people of the world, in the objective to bring them peace, stability, alike countries that are prevented from that kind of troubles. In a result, this film is making citizens of any country who lived in peace, to be proud of what it's army does for them or for any foreign people. We could have said, that only American people should be proud of their army by this movie, but any country who take part into similar events, should get the same proud sense for their own army, seeing this movie. Because comparable events will appears as in this movie (crisis, deaths of soldiers/people, violences, and any others)

@@CMDRFandragon Another thing you can do is search the names Mike Durant, Jeff Strueker, Keni Thomas, Kyle Lamb. They all have multiple videos here talking about their experiences
Well they had a showing of people who survived the actual fight (both Delta and the RR) and they said that they all received the movie quite well and said it was accurate. And they were actually there so they’re opinion beats yours IMO
It's so hard to gather the right information from a war. There so much mayhem going on around the soldiers (I'm guessing..being a civilian) that their job is only to survive. Get out alive whether they've achieved their objective or not. Trying not to get shot or blown up by explosives. What they see is just a snippet. They are the ground troops. Literally. Not the guys who call the shots. They are on a base. :) Safe. In the end war is never the answer. . Soldiers just do as told. Whether they agree or not. They signed on for whatever the decision makes decide they should get involved in. Personally I feel soldiers should only be to defend their own country from invasion. Going to fight on foreign land...you're always at a disadvantage. The home team always knows the land better and can plan a better defence. I think invaders are just "reacting". and following orders. Take the Vietnam War...Americans came with superior firepower and still lost. All the American tactical training didn't help them...much. Invaders/intruders are always at the disadvantage.
What’s sad is two Muslim countries coming and aiding US to come invade Somalia. I’d like to know why did it have to be Malaysia and Pakistan out of all the countries that could have helped. US and it’s helpers should back off, nobody wants their help since all they do is cause damage

What were their names? The depressing thing about humanity is that idiots like you who believe this shit exist in massive numbers. Stealing oxygen and propagating malignant ignorance.
Wolcott crash site is wrong, strobe placement was wrong, chalk alignment on the target building was wrong. At 1 point chalk 4 NCO Eversman radios Capt Steele for evac and looks down the street to Steeles location who then we see from his point of view looking back at Eversman. Reality was they were on opposite sides of the block on opposite corners and couldn't have seen each other. Struekers convoy was with McKnight and not separate. One convoy not two. Should i even go onto a 223 round not being capable of penetration of an engine block especially a moving vehicle? Atto never met the General to be interrogated. Wouldn't happen anyway if if they wanted to speak . Still a good movie , just off in certain areas where you can tell Hollywood ramped it up for shock factor

Another inaccuracy is the way the whole area looks. The Mogadishu portrayed in Black Hawk Down looks nothing like the real Mogadishu. In Black Hawk Down the city just looks like a generic middle eastern city. The area where the actual battle took place was a lot more suburban, with smaller buildings no more than 1 or 2 stories high, and there were green trees and vegetation all over the place. In the movie it just looks sand colored and completely barren, and the buildings are all too large and tall. The battle scenes are good, but they don't capture the look of the battle at all.
They shoot the movie in Morocco and the people acting are now Somalis or East African at all. Typical American........ They’ve no clue about geography or other cultures.

I’ve heard a lot of soldiers say that this is the most realistic war movie ever made. I had a chance to meet Jeff streuker who was a ranger there and consulted them when they made the movie. All the extras are real Rangers and they even had the original pilots fly the helicopters for the film.
You're actually correct on the portion for the pilots. The pilot of Star 4-1, the Little Bird that was the first responder to the Super 6-1 crash site that evacuated the 2 delta snipers Busch and Smith, was CWO Keith Jones and he actually plays himself here in the movie, basically re-enacting his experience.
@LTrain45 45 I met one of them and other combat vets and they all say it’s portrayal of war is accurate. And the movie presents most things the way they happened. One of the only differences being they didn’t mark enemy positions for attacks, they marked their own location and said shoot everything else
@LTrain45 45 like numbers don’t lie, casualties on the American side were like 20 and they were all rangers, green berets, and seals. They don’t die easy. And there were hundreds of Somalis dead. The numbers alone show that the fighting was intense and some of the most intense fighting most people have seen in their military careers
@LTrain45 45 well if soldiers lie then why should I believe Paul Howe’s account compared to Jeff Streuker?
What a freaking lie. The book scarred me for life. I understood for the first time why many vets come home messed up. The movie was NOT accurate at all.
Five helicopters went down.
Grimes, aka John Stebbins, was the only character who got their name changed. John won a silver star in this battle and was looked up to by his men as a legend during the battle. 1998 John was convicted and sentenced to jail do raping a 12-year-old girl.
The girl was actually 6 years old and she was his own daughter. This Papa Oscar Sierra raped her 3 times in September of 1998 if I remember correctly
It was his own daughter I believe
Thanks for making these vids. I know this channel will blow up
Interesting, considering I know and served with alot of the actual guys there including Col. Danny McKnight who said that most of the movie was accurate. The crash site of Super 61 was not as large as they made it. "Hoot" was made up of several Opetators there. The guy talking couldn't even get it right on the marking of the vehicle and who it was for. It was not for Autto. Everyone there said Hollywood couldn't show the ferocity of the battle..For a movie its about 90% accurate. We all know Hollywood will have their own take on somethings.
Or the fact that 99/100 people who saw this movie says that Task Force Ranger failed their mission because of the loss of two Blackhawks and the lives of soldiers. When the mission was to capture Aidid’s Advisors, which we did... That would be like saying the Allies lost ww2 because we lost Pearl Harbor...
😂😂😂 america didnt capture the general
M4H1R PES AND PUBG PRO TIPS No we didn’t... The mission was to capture Aidid’s Advisors not Aidid.
@@maheer2613 they weren't after aidid. They were after 2 of his top advisors and they got both plus several more...
An interesting fact I heard, Mohamed Aidid studied old soviet tactics to fighting urban warfare and studied American response tactics. Aidid knew that if he had his militia bring down a helicopter, US troops would reposition on the crash site and make the situation hard for the US to win. Also the RPGs they used were modified to be able to fire at the near 90° angle, and also used rockets that could detonate and a approximated height
The inaccuracy in this movie is mind blowing

The movie is very inaccurate, but wrong does not equal bad. The scenery, the soundtrack, the firefights, the dramatic moments, etc, are really good in my opinion. I deadass watched this movie like 20 times, and I'm not tired of it.
My point is, you're right, it's inaccurate, but it's not a bad movie.
I had to laugh when they mentioned that Somalis complained about non-Somalis playing Somalis, while watching an Aussie play an American (dodgy accent and all).
That is the truth lol 😆 there was no Somalian in the film at all ..... all the actors in the film was just Bantu
At least in most cases you can't tell an Aussie apart from an American but Somali's(East African) actually physically look very different than the West African people that were used in the movie
Somalis, if they haven't already, should make a movie telling their side. I was in the Army, stationed in Alaska, when this happened. As a soldier, dying is part of the job. I was most upset that they were dragging the corpses through the streets.
Just to make a suggestion, I was wondering about the accuracy of "Fires On The Plain". I love the movie, and if nothing else I think it's worth it to recommend you give it a watch. Have a nice day!
I Dont care about the negative stuff the say about the film Those men fought hard harder than ever and if you say otherwise you couldnt do anything they did. They have Respect and they deserved it
Yeah...but it's a film. A portrayal of events, not a primary source. So it's totally reasonable to criticize it.
Regardless of whether or not you've seen the movie, read the book.
People need to know the difference between a movie and a documentary, the movie is made to attract attention and a documentary is to collect information and tell the history from certain view points, and May be still no to accurately true, imagine at certain events where 1000 people participated? How many opinions will come out? Blackhawk down, is only a movie, do you get it?
The director even made it clear he wanted to make his own thing because he didn't feel that he could do the true story justice plus it gave him more creative freedom.
Malaysian ❤️
One of the biggest inaccuracies I’ve ever learned about the movie is the main character himself. SGT. Matt Eversman left with the first convoy and stayed back at the hangar to help with wounded and resupply for the entire rest of the battle.
Also, the crash site of 6-1 went relatively uncontested as opposed to the events of the movie. According to Dan Schilling (the CSAR PJ on scene), the Somalis eventually forgot they were even there, and they hid in a hut next to the helicopter the rest of the night as Somalis just walked around paying no mind to them.
Last but not least, 4 black hawks in total were shot down over the course of the battle. The helicopter that inserted the CSAR team onto 61’s crash site, Super 68, was hit by an RPG during the insertion and crash landed safely outside of the combat zone. Super 62, inaccurately portrayed as only receiving small arms fire, was also hit by an RPG shortly after inserting Gordon and Shurghart to secure 64’s crash site, with delta sniper Brad Halling losing his leg in the attack. It crash landed safely back at base.
One of Black Hawk Down's biggest failures is downplaying the strategic ineptitude that put soldiers in that position. Civilian and militia resistance was so high partly because a previous failed attempt to kill Aididi led to ~200 local elders and community leaders getting blown up in a raid. It feels both disrespectful to the Somali people and tactically effed, to just fly troops in by daylight weeks after that.
The movie was NOT faithful to the book and what I presume were the real events. So many people who have watched this movie have NEVER read the book and it's pathetic. I read the book as a college freshman and for the first time, I understood why so many vets were messed up. The Somali militia would advance on US troops with women and children as human shields. They literally had NO CHOICE but to kill them or they would die. They had to shoot women and kids who were carrying ammunition or pointing out troop locations. The attack helicopters would kill scores of people during their gun runs.
What bothered me a lot was the portrayal of special forces. In the book, they're just highly experienced, highly professional soldiers with an attitude. Once everything goes sideways, they're fighting for survival like everyone else. They were NOT the Avengers like they were shown to be in the movie. They provided good tips to the Rangers but it was shown that they were as human as anyone else.
I couldn't tolerate this movie after reading the book. Given that it got assistance from the US military, anything making it look bad was scrubbed and sanitized. I do not think America would like to see the honest adaptation of the book. Horror movies just haven't compared since I read it. Enemy at the Gates, the book, was also very disturbing.
I was there... I was one of the Msian soldiers...
I remember the director saying he wanted to make his own thing because he didn't feel like he could do the true story justice. People need to differentiate between film and reality nobody that was there or knows the true story downplays the Malaysian and Pakistani involvement. When I was a kid I knew some of the people that were there and they had nothing but good things to say about them.
Portraying Somalia like this was bad. They only showed the poor site of Mogadishu and hid the beautiful sites of the city of which are greater than the poor ones.
By the way, it's the power of media. That's how Africa is shown to the world.
good thing i didn't know this because this is one heck of a movie.

I like the Black Powder Red Earth styled thumbnail, very cool!
The situation wasn't as dire as the movie portrayed. The rangers situation wasn't near as desperate
Well ya but there were still 10’s of thousands of Somalis outside and they were left without a lot of their previous advantages like NOD’s, medical equipment, the night and didn’t know how big the enemy was and did suffer quite a bit
Being put into a firefight regardless of your status or experience in the military would be pretty hectic. And 2 black hawks getting shot down on a simple snatch and grab sounds pretty desperate
TheCosmicAlien 7 firefights aren't always "hectic" and I'm not saying there wasn't some serious stress going on to say the least, but they knew worse case they were gonna get out of there and extract the birds as well. The movie makes it seem like there was no hope and it was a last stand on all fronts

It's not accurate because it's Hollywood movie, full of bs
Edit: some comments talk about the movie failure to show Malaysian soldier role in the battle, and after some research I found out it's true. That prove that this is another Hollywood BS
I read the book recently, there was so very much left out.
Great video, man. And awesome film.
It Takes Guts To Make Such A Big Thing, And A Min To Point Out.. It's Far More One Of The Finest Movies Of War Made... Appreciate It.. 🍁
From a Somali view point the movie was rlly inaccurate even tho Americans were getting clapped the showed more casualties in the movie in irl
It's okay.. you guys can watch BAKARA. The movie based on what happened in Bakara market in Somalia at that time, the movie will release in 2021.. which told the undiscovered history and the truth behind Somalia war with Delta forces who almost get killed without Malaysia armies intervene, and save their ass. And to opened the eyes of America people about the small country also has their elite forces who are very courageous and brave. Don't worries we are MALAYSIA will put all the name heroes even Pakistan Armies also Somalia innocent citizens who also involved to help Malaysia armies and us armies get out safely.
Complaints about the somali actors and language is idiotic. They're extras and the language is just gibrish as far as the target audience for this movie. Somali organizations boycotting the movie, get real, this was never going to be a movie that holloywood was hoping the somalis in the US or anywhere would flock to see.
Malaysia banned this movie also, because they're disrespect Malaysian Special Force are not involved in this movie. This movie is totally garbage because they don't follow true events.

all black people are african's right? this move shows "western" views on race. europeans are all genetically similar. no so in africa...
I work with an Army retiree that was part of the Ranger detachment sent to Mogadishu at the time the movie is set (no, he wasn't portrayed in the film anywhere). Really nice guy, but very soft spoken when it comes to his military service.
Being the only veteran among us, we were, naturally, curious about his experiences. However, no one wanted to actually ASK him about what happened since, first and foremost, we were concerned about the insensitivity of asking him to dredge up potentially painful memories and second, we all assumed he was asked those questions all the time and had grown tired of answering them. Eventually, of course, the question came up and this is more or less the only thing he told us about the movie:
"It was hard to watch."
I'm Somalian and this is not even close the truth happen that day , we killed 18 americans plus 984 from other countries only that match , and fact is we where fighting for or country ! are we wrong for our rights if we defends our people! the funniest thing is the fight was only one tribe that called HABARGIDIR . imagine all somalis are in that match what will happen
!run boy run!.... there is no place for America in Somalia.
Pakistani 19Lancers and 15FrontierForce rescued the US forces. Noone could even think of leaving the football ground without the troop of tanks. APCs and infantry were soft targets. Tanks QRF at front and rear inbetween APCs rescued the American forces and off course a black hawk in the air where the squadron commander would sit and command the ops. Pakistan Army have all those letters and appreciations displayed in there respective regiments.
It was 5 Blackhawk down not 2 so they lie to you.
Actually the other 3 black hawk were hit by an RPG but didn't went down 2 of them returned to base and 1 landed at the city docks that was actually a Pakistani safe zone
The driver took a shit ton of minnie gun to the face...through the windshield
The movie doesn't have to be 100% accurate, it gives everyone a great idea of what the Battle of Mogadishu was like.
Please read the book. This is NOT true at ALL. The book gave me PTSD.
Still my fav movie
I thought the biggest technical inaccuracies was the first crash site scene where it’s shown that Chalk 4 had to haul their ass’s through the entire city as they were the only ones to protect the downed crew members. In reality right after the 1st Black Hawk went down a Mini Bird came down and 2 pilots, Karl Mayor and Keith Jones, directly flew down and saved the 2 surviving crew members while applying covering fire and flew out within minutes at least according to one of the documentaries I saw on the subject and they also had the emergency CSAR team out there so it wasn’t just Chalk 4 at the crash site plus also the other Chalks on the mission to went to the 1st crash site
And also something I’m a little bit unsure about but I believe the book went into was Eversmann and much of Chalk 4 was evacuated on 5e Lost Convoy before the end of the day and didn’t stay fo the night. At least as believe that was covered in the book I’m not entirely sure but also Seconds from Disaster Documentary covered that a lot of Chalk 4 got out it’s weird to think the movie thought Chalk 4 was literally one of the only forces out there that day but I guess the movie needed a central cast to follow I’m not sure why they didn’t just break them up and cover the other teams out there that day.
But solid movie for people that aren’t familiar with the subject and it almost acts as a documentary for the uninitiated although I will say the Somalis are depicted as an omnipresent threat and not really as a separate group of people but as one machine which is a little inaccurate
Yeah I'm pretty sure at least Eversmann himself left with the 3 Humvees that took Blackburn back. A few of his chalk did stay in the fight
Right I just dont think they did the majority of the fighting but again for simplicities sake they probably wanted to keep a central cast around
They specifically showed Star 4-1 landing to rescue survivors of Super 6-1. They also showed the CSAR team fast roping onto the crash site.
Since it's a "Based on" Movie, i don't see any problem about some scenaristics simplifications,...
I mean, "Based on" never stand for a 100% accuracy, but to pinpoint a high value of it.
and on this, the Movie is pretty accurate from an American PoV
So, as we all know now, all PoV can't be included as wanted by everyone (Pakistani/Indian PoV which have been described by their own officials as insufficient), because it's only a 2 hours movie,...
To me (and i'm not american,...), this movie relate events that US.Soldiers/Rangers/Delta could have seen during this battle, with a pretty good accuracy (but not 100%, as said earlier due to scenaristics simplifications).
The most important thing is, to not forget that this battle occured, why and it's context.
alongside, to not forget those soldiers risking their lives for people of the world, in the objective to bring them peace, stability, alike countries that are prevented from that kind of troubles.
In a result, this film is making citizens of any country who lived in peace, to be proud of what it's army does for them or for any foreign people.
We could have said, that only American people should be proud of their army by this movie,
but any country who take part into similar events, should get the same proud sense for their own army, seeing this movie.
Because comparable events will appears as in this movie (crisis, deaths of soldiers/people, violences, and any others)

Siege of Jadotville
Great video.
So little views.
This is accurate enough, the other stuff is nit picking.
It's so hard to gather the right information from a war. There so much mayhem going on around the soldiers (I'm guessing..being a civilian) that their job is only to survive. Get out alive whether they've achieved their objective or not. Trying not to get shot or blown up by explosives. What they see is just a snippet. They are the ground troops. Literally. Not the guys who call the shots. They are on a base. :) Safe.
In the end war is never the answer. . Soldiers just do as told. Whether they agree or not. They signed on for whatever the decision makes decide they should get involved in. Personally I feel soldiers should only be to defend their own country from invasion. Going to fight on foreign land...you're always at a disadvantage. The home team always knows the land better and can plan a better defence. I think invaders are just "reacting". and following orders. Take the Vietnam War...Americans came with superior firepower and still lost. All the American tactical training didn't help them...much.
Invaders/intruders are always at the disadvantage.
The operation was a cluster fuck, to be sure.
What’s sad is two Muslim countries coming and aiding US to come invade Somalia. I’d like to know why did it have to be Malaysia and Pakistan out of all the countries that could have helped. US and it’s helpers should back off, nobody wants their help since all they do is cause damage

Wolcott crash site is wrong, strobe placement was wrong, chalk alignment on the target building was wrong. At 1 point chalk 4 NCO Eversman radios Capt Steele for evac and looks down the street to Steeles location who then we see from his point of view looking back at Eversman. Reality was they were on opposite sides of the block on opposite corners and couldn't have seen each other. Struekers convoy was with McKnight and not separate. One convoy not two.
Should i even go onto a 223 round not being capable of penetration of an engine block especially a moving vehicle? Atto never met the General to be interrogated. Wouldn't happen anyway if if they wanted to speak .
