The American seals had a sigh up outside there tents saying, second to none...... British sas had a sigh up saying .... none.... 😂
🤣🤣 I love that
🤭
I do agree that the SAS are Very likely to be the best special forces group in the world
(i can't think of any that might be better than them) .
I know 'THE ORIGINALS' were recruited from the Commandos and then given extra training
The LRDG helped the SAS in the early days mostly by navigating the north African desert, the LRDG got the SAS to and from of the targets.
And the SAS trained most of the best special forces groups in the world including alot of American ones.
I've heard this exact same joke before, but with Delta Force and the SAS instead years back. 😂
Hope your doing good my friend @@NealUKReactions
Remember, anonymity is the key to all these units, even down to the paras. Back in the 1980s an actor called Lewis Collins* took part in and passed the training for the paras - the character he played in a TV series was an ex para, he wasn't going to play someone who'd been a para without doing the training for himself which he did and passed without a hitch.
When the series finished he applied to join the paras but was turned down because by that stage his face was far too well known, he went on to play similar characters in numerous military films before dying young from cancer.
*he played the character of Bodie in The Professionals, when he acts the part of a well trained ex military in the series he genuinely knows what he is doing.
He was also in the frame to play James Bond but was considered to hard with no softer side that's also needed to play Bond.
Pretty much every special forces training on the planet is based on the SAS. The british was the first to ever create a special force.
Knowing a secret unit exists is one thing. Knowing what they do and who they are is something else completely.
Those who write books have to get permission from the Gov and they have to show the Gov the manuscript, if the Gov says no you can forget it.
Regarding the books,they HAVE to get permission from the regiment and thoroughly checked before publication.
Details of operational duties are left out or if they are left in,it’s because those tactics are old fashioned and had been replaced by new tactics.
Thank you for answering! That makes sense to me
There was a UK tv series back in the late 80’s called Wish Me Luck that is about UK female spies living in occupied France, sending back reconnaissance and carrying out missions. Although I couldn’t say for certain about just how factual it was, at the very least it is fictitious stories based on real situations. As women were the most sensible pick for this type of covert mission, as they could more easily blend into communities during total war at that time as young fit men would stand out more. There was even an Indian Princess called Noor Khan, who volunteered as a spy for the UK in occupied France. She was the first female radio operator for SOE (Special Operations Executive, which might be another organisation worth looking into but I think only existed for WWII and was a mix of military and civilian personnel) who was deployed into occupied France. Heartbreakingly, she was captured, t*rtur*d and executed by the SS in Dachu. Her code name was Madeleine and she was posthumously awarded the George Cross (the highest decoration for gallantry awarded to a civilian in the UK) and the Croix du Guerre, which I believe is the French equivalent.
Thanks for sharing that-really fascinating! There’s so much from WWII that we’ll probably never fully uncover, especially the countless unsung heroes who sacrificed their lives to defeat the Nazis.
@@sashacoe25 you’re definitely right. When you consider that it was the 80’s before Alan Turing’s contribution to the war effort became declassified, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was still some known (by the government) things classified and countless acts of bravery that are either just family stories, disregarded by those involved as them just doing what needed to be done or lost to the sands of time because those involved never got to share their story.
My Granda was on the Derrycunihy, a ship that when it was sunk by an acoustic mine resulted in the largest single loss of life at sea during the Normandy Landings (it was a couple of weeks after D-Day). I only heard about this due to a throwaway remark he made in response to our local paper asking him to review how accurate the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan was. He said to me “I don’t know why they asked me. The ship I was on got blown out the water before we even got there”. The ship had been ripped in half and the half my Granda was on was the half that sank while the other Hal stayed afloat. He was just really lucky that a hatch blow open enabling him to swim out. He was sent home to recuperate due to a perforated eardrum but that r&r resulted in my Dad and his twin brother…but I never learned the details of the sinking until after he died and the existence of our entire family only happened because someone asked him to switch holds. Everyone that was in the hold my Granda was assigned to didn’t make it out.
When you think that around 70 million lives were lost in those six years undoubtedly there would have been so much lost forever.
(Sorry, I went off on a bit of a rambling tangent there)
If you liked that the book "women in intelligence" is factual and fascinating. People really act like only men fight wars 😅 not true at all
@@Jzaday definitely not and in the case of these women, they weren’t just on the front line. They were behind enemy lines and having to worry every moment of every day, that they’d inadvertently given themselves away to someone who couldn’t be trusted. Which is an absolutely terrifying situation, just the thought that you’re having to live your life hiding absolutely everything that makes you who you are.
I’ll definitely check that book suggestion out though. Thank you 😊
With how good and well trained the sas are, in the film, London has fallen when the SAS regiment gets taken out so easily, and then Gerard Butler comes in to save the day, single-handedly. That took me right out the film I’m like no no would not happen
Typical Hollywood lol
That's America putting in their favour and not telling the truth they do that a lot in films
I agree American war films are fiction British war films are fact pretty much a huge difference between us Brits are the best American are simply not 🇬🇧
We might never know what E Squadron are up to but it's kind of comforting that it is getting up to it. Somebody has to.
How true. Very much a case of walk quietly and carry a big stick.
Love your reactions to our brilliant armed forces in the UK.
The LRDG was completely separate from the formation of "L Detachment SAS" (L given to imply there were many more than just the one) The LRDG had existed for some time when David Stirling got his permission to form the SAS. The first operation was a disaster. After replacing losses and brainstorming, it was realised the LRDG could take/guide the SAS to their objectives and back. The LRDG was not a part of the SAS, although it did work with them.
If you go back and watch Casino Royale, it will make more sense to you now with the scene where he is analyzing Vesper on the train, and she does the same to him by noticing his watch and saying that if she had to guess he was a former SAS type etc. Various watches like TAG and Rolexes can be purchased by SAS during service and or given as retirement gifts. But they are unique, they are usually inscribed on the back with unique inscriptions to signify the specific soldier.
Omega has suplied the UK Military watchs for years! That's just one of the reasons I wear one. 😊, As they have done for NASA
Rather wear a watch that won't attract attention.
@@seanmcilvenie9097 I also love my Seiko's 😉
From what I have seen from EX SAS/SBS is they cannot say anything about anything they have done or know off, on one recent interview with Obi Wan, something like 6 months out of the service, he was out of the loop on most stuff so would not really be of use to anyone whom may think he would be a valuable target for interrogation.
Check out the book ,C.Q.B.: In Action with the SAS Mike Curtis, a former coal miner and likely Welsh international, served with 2 Para in the Falklands before going on to join the SAS, very good read x
Great book !
LRDG were set up before the SAS for observation behind enermy lines by a 1930's desert explorer and were totally separate from the SAS formed later and when they found out parachuting was unworkable they used the LRDG as a taxi service till they got vehicles of their own then amalgamated.
Great video as usual 👌
There's a great series from 1996 about the sas operations called "sas the soldiers story" they are on UA-cam
13:25 when it comes to writing and publishing books about this stuff, the M.O.D. is pretty much always required to approve or deny it, any other way and it'd be considered a national security breach.
In the Bond movie Thunderball, agent 003 was a woman.
Sounds like the man who did my driveway.
Yip simply the best of the best.
#Theelitone omg theres an amazing interview with him by Shaun Ryan, Christian Craighead is just an awesomd dude...he had a weird event that morning that sounds like a spiritual intervention to me...its fascinating .please react to it...ill drop a link in the answer bit because i dont know how to contact you otherwise..
Initial thoughts...why is Shorty in the video narrating?
Nah it means people have found out now releasing info after building a new one. Just like MI6 cia etc
Don’t mess with the SAS or you’ll end up in a body bag the best in the world
E squadron are the top dogs. You don’t hear anything about them. They have only been mentioned once in a MOD report.
its all good we have these operatives but what a lot of people dont understand is when they leave/are retired from service they have very little chance of living normally after no jobs because their i dentities are removed from public records ..they have no national insurance number no nhs numbers they cannot produce a cv because they are not allowed to reveal their their past employment
Rule one, don't fk with the SAS.
Rule two, pls refer to rule one 😂.
Nuff said.
you could pass one in the street and you'd never know
They exist, I just thought he was a nut job at first.
multiple other languages 😂🤣😅🤣😂😅😂
Bond.
Jane Bond 0036D
Why is he watching stuff he already knows ? 😂
This is one part of the world women can't compete, hands on NO
If you have been stupid enough to purchase the services of the sold as seen crew.your right to a pulse has been rescinded. Lots of love....the British tax payer.😘😘
The problem is, nobody actually knows whether these regiments exist. If they did they wouldn't be very secret would they? If E squadron is known then it has failed 😂 Stop believing this made up crap for content providers to get more views.
I remember the Irish Sun did an expose on what they claimed was an Irish special forces regiment. They did their homework and found people who allegedly belonged to genuine regiments except they didn't [if that makes sense, they only belonged on paper] and published a long article on it wanting to know what was going on. Suddenly disappeared and there was a brief notice in the paper simply saying Ireland did have a special forces unit but that they were unable to say more than that. Allegedly they train with/work with the SAS/SBS but who knows if it's true, nobody even knows who is in it and for a 'neutral' country not sure anyone really wants to know. Certainly the govt did have to admit such a unit existed but they refused to say any more than that but given that - apart from commonwealth citizens - Irish citizens are the only other ones who can and do join and fight in the British military [the son of my old neighbour from Dublin joined the British Army, did his stint and re-enlisted again, made a proper full/long term career out of it] I could genuinely see them being trained by and working with the UK special forces. Neutral or not, we might have a small army but it does a lot in peacekeeping situations and it's not great stretch of the imagination to see how well trained experts in certain fields would be of a huge advantage. Probably to both countries in some situations if truth be told.
@@AveCaesar2025 Aren't the Irish Ranger Wing the SF of Ireland?
@@gobalmighty7463 I think so but allegedly there is a really REALLY secret special forces branch which is what they were claiming. so secret the members allegedly belong to other regiments, are ''paid'' as members of those other regiments, but when they looked at the other regiments the people themselves couldn't be found. Allegedly they would turn up again when it was time to retire but the bits in between nobody knew where they were. All the govt admitted was that there was a specific special forces unit whose members were NOT ones likely to advertise the fact, that they worked incredibly closely with the British military right down to the training and that was ALL they were prepared to say. This came out at least 17 years ago - when I lived down in the country at the start of the century, the Sun made good lining for cat litter trays and we had a number of cats - and it was being whipped up as Irish neutrality being non-existent because of these alleged super special special forces. There must be a certain amount of truth to it but interestingly a lot of the issue was condemnation of the Sun for actually digging into this and bringing it out rather than a lot of people criticising the government for keeping quiet about it. I suspect they were trying to whip up anti UK feeling at the time [no doubt something was going on politically or they thought something should be] but from memory it didn't work.
They tried again recently by claiming that raining Ukrainian soldiers was also breaking Irish neutrality, they failed there as well and the govt quoted whatever bits cover neutrality from some international document [not interested enough to bother with the specific details] proving they were legally covered in what they were doing. So another failed attempt to stir up hatred - I suspect a lot of this [then and again now] is from the far right wing anti UK anti anyone who thinks differently to them brigade, pro Russia/Putin ''he's a fabulous leader and we should all want to support him'' branch of the political spectrum.
Where are the SBS based?
@@seanmcilvenie9097 Not the brightest coin in the bank are you?
It's so secretive there's a UA-cam video about it.. it's a myth ffs
Before the 1980 Iranian embassy seige nobody had ever heard of the sas and they hated the global attention it brought them
E Squadron is very much a real unit. A former member recently died in a parachute accident, and his obituary in 'The Times' mentioned his membership of E Squadron.
It means people don't know where they operate or what they do its all secretive. We know of these units ! Not the work they do 😅
It's definitely not a myth, secretive doesn't mean no 1 knows about them it means what they do is not known. Even our SAS and SBS are secretive as in the missions they carry out are barely made public unlike American SF which might as well have a reporter and camera crew following them.
@@waynelowe3329 Which is what makes the former the best in the world and the latter just good wannabes.
