I mean he had “Obi one Nairobi” on a little while ago
Please Shawn get some of the 22 regiment guys on for us Uk fans , please 🙏
He was hanging out with Chris Craighead the other week....fingers crossed they had time to get an interview in! 🤞🤞🤞
That would be brilliant 🇬🇧 🏴 👍
As an American, I'd probably enjoy that as much as you.
Most of our military traditions came from you guys. Especially our Marines.
That part
Read Task Force Black.
“Doesn’t matter who you are, you are dying” hell yeah respect to our neighbors across the pond 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Back at ya brother
Thats the only gear the SAS have, if they lost people or not, they dont care, women, kids, doesnt matter, guilty innocent, hell yeah youre gonna die... well unless youre the taliban, then they dress up as a woman and run for the border, but everyone else, spot on, doesnt matter youre gonna die.
🇺🇸✌🏻🇬🇧
👍💯
That warmed my heart to know that SAS doesn't fuck around with ROE and im not even British
I was part of a raid with Rangers and SAS in Baghdad in 2003 or 2004 and the SAS had a team in trucks and 2 in little birds. They simultaneously hit several apartments at once and those little birds came in QUICK and basically bounced off the roof, dropping an assault team. I mean the aircraft were down and back up so quick, it looked like they bounced off a trampoline! That was the coolest shit I have ever seen!

I was a gunner in the Bradley’s for this mission. Small world.

You know you're in for a bad day when Delta and the SAS come knocking
You're last day 👍
"NO FRAGS"
You won't hear them coming...😉
especially a pissed off SAS guys who took some casualties
Yeah probably looking for oil?
UK and US brothers in arms. Absolute respect from UK.
Respect!! No respect in invading a country illegally! You have been watching the news lately mate? 🤔
@@alba9507 I have no respect for the dirty, messed up political pigs that ordered those wars.
The young men that fought together, had each others backs that includes my family I have total respect for.
@@zeramoke - Those young men had a choice? Defending your homeland from foreign aggressors is what demands respect.

SAS and Delta… “like father like Son”
🇬🇧 🇺🇸
From an ex UK forces guy, this was really interesting, thanks guys.👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
Do you like the USA and Americans?
Delta and SAS breathing down your neck, what a nightmare. I'm glad they are on our side.
I'm glad to be on their side too.
They’re not on our side, they’re on the government’s side.
The elites of the elites
Taliban didn't flinch and SAS ran for the border dressed as women.
Sounds like most moms wet dream tho lol
We did a Op with mix team of Delta force and UK and AUS SAS in basra back in 2007 conducting strike ops from the back of our Warriors excellent watching these guys operate under pressure literally blowing compound doors off and snatching targets
Crazy that in 2003 22 SAS weren't rocking NVG and lasers. Their precision at night time must have been otherworldly when they finally transitioned!
The SAS trained to shoot instinctively at target's whether with a laser or nvg. Hence the SAS can adapt to shooting if lasers and nvg are broken or out of stock. If you always rely on laser to pin point targets then you will lose the ability to still engage effectively without laser. Remember the SAS invented room clearing tactics and invented also the concept of a kill house. Shawn and the interviewee were both gobsmacked at how the SAS can engage the enemy with no laser or nvg. They are trained to do that in case advanced technology breaks down etc
They used white lights so they could defo see! Amazing that they operated this way when NVG is the crux of how many SOF teams work.
I think the problem was they had NVGs but definitely not enough for entire squadrons
@@boxerwayne6660 The tactics SAS invented for CQB are long since outdated and no longer used.
@@markiatto_4292 Who knows for sure. I heard multiple accounts saying they didn't have any when they arrived in 2003. John McPhee said they were first given NODs by the unit because it was dangerous for both parties to operate together without NODs.
Chris Ryan said the SAS went to LAPD for cheaper kevlar vests! Tragically underfunded at the time.
So, I know this story, I was there (Incidentally MUCH respect for Mr VanSant! A true hero. FYI though, this was actually in Ramadi, just down the street from the Glass Factory, not Fallujah. I know it can be easy to confuse the locations, especially that night, I had guys in Ramadi, Fallujah, and Al Habbiniyah as well. A very interesting Halloween night in 03 Iraq. I was a 1SG then in Cco, 1/16 IN, the Bradleys firing into the buildings were Bco 1/16, I was probably 20 meters from the front of the gate as the SAS made entry on that compound and I recall the absolute hail of rounds hitting the gate and flying everywhere. The entry at the 1st house across the street had just happened right before this happened. That was my first experience with having a RPG fired at me and it wasn't at all like the movies. In fact at first I couldn't figure what it was, more like small explosion and lots of sparks. I had my fingers on the trigger of an M249 up to that point but couldn't positively ID good guys from bad but once the RPG came at me I returned fire. Not knowing where everyone was here was simply no way to offer up support and not potentially hit a friendly. We were trying to help evac the SAS injured/dead but that was a process as we were helpless. The Bradley's, at first, tried shooting the walls with the 25MM but while it put up a pretty show it accomplished nothing. Then we went to the TOW's with some effect but now what we had hoped for. When EOD got there later they entered the house but immediately ran out as they found one bad guy that wasn't dead with a hole in his leg big enough to put a fist into. He was young, early 20's, and somehow managed to survive under a pile of bodies. I called it up and was told to have him evacuated for medical and apparently as soon as they got a bag of fluid in him he woke up. The 3 letter guys took him from there.
Learned how accurate those little birds are, at night, and just how much hell they could bring down on a bad guy right in front of us.
Funny story out of it all, there was a small mobile shop in the big open area where we were just off the street, one of those where one would just push up the boards over the openings and shop was open type thing, and apparently there had been a father and son in there, right in the middle of it all, the entire time. They came out around 0900 that morning and showed themselves. I can only imagine what had to have been going through their minds as they sit just a few meters from this whole incident. I recall the house Chris went into next door (to the right) and there was a mother and children we pulled away from there after they came out, thankfully alive. I often wondered what they must have been through with all that happening right next to them.
Mark Owen wrote about something similar in his book No Easy Day and I wondered if it was this incident but his recount is somewhat different. I know this incident however was definitely in Ramadi though, had it been in Fallujah our sister company there would have told us about it, that and almost impossible odds this same thing happened in two places on Halloween night 2003.
There is a chance I met Chris VanSant (what an honor if so) the night of the raid as we all stopped and had a One over the World brief on the hoods of the HMMWV's before we went in. For some reason I thought there was also a couple guys from the Ausie SAS there as well but I could be wrong.
As we were clearing that house the next morning we were dragging the bad guy dead out of the upstairs and two of my guys had this one by the feet dragging him down. His head was bouncing off each stair as they drug him down. Incidentally a rather large crowd of not so happy locals had gathered, the sun was up at this time and gunfire died down , some who were heavily armed, so I quickly got word to my guys to take better care bringing them down. Not that I cared about the bad buys but there was no need to enflame an already very upset crowd who happened to be fairly well armed.
The mention of the bad guys wearing the ridiculous athletic suits brings up something, at subsequent raids we were always keyed in on the guys wearing these as they always seem to have come out of Syria. Maybe they thought they would blend in but that simply wasn't the case unless you were under the age of say, 12.
Another funny now story, we were trying to maneuver a HMMWV into the vicinity to help get the wounded/KIA SAS guys out and I way trying to explain to my guy at the end of the street between the houses to bring the HMMWV down the road towards the house. He had been watching all the bullets fly between us, which would have been his left/right across the street I wanted him to come down and as I said come down the street he was like, you want me to come down THAT street? I was like, yes come down the street and again he yelled down THAT street. Not letting me get to the point where I wanted him to stop and be close but still in cover. He wasn't having it.
Anyway, yea, this was in Ramadi, just down from the infamous Glass Factory, Halloween 2003. It was a bad night for our SAS brothers.
Thank you for your service
cheers for helping our guys
You are welcome
I watched both parts of this episode already but Im re watching the clips. This was one of the best episodes and I had no expectations going in. Incredible guest and a true member of history
@@ianstallings honestly him and Chris have been the most impactful for me personally. No expectations in either and just glued through. Fall asleep and wake up and re listen type of engagement
I think dj Shipley was up there too
Be interesting if he could find some 22 sas guys who were involved in this raid
If the SAS get in the 'doesn't matter who you are, you're dying' I'd break the land speed record getting out of the way
Good thinking, because he wasn't joking. They will kill women, kids, pregnant women, they dont care. They run and gun like this all the time, they probably didnt even know some of their own men had been killed, its their default. Psychopath animals. Remove delta, remove air support, remove backup, and they run for the border dressed as women.
I would love to see an episode with an SAS operative. Those guys are bad ass.
Black rifle coffee has one with Nairobi raider, Chris Craighead. Great watch but 22SAS guys can't say much as they are restricted under UK law.
@@PF9O also ex SBS trooper Dean Stott is on a couple of different podcasts if you search his name.
Billy Billingham (Former RSM 22) or Chris Ryan, Andy McNab would be amazing
@@zeramoke those guys are excellent but would like more of GWOT operators
Lol nope
“Right mate, frag out”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I did a small amount of the SAS selection course. It is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I was in great shape at the time but still didn’t come close to the SAS cut off time. I’m sure they aren’t human.
Has absolutely nothing to do with being in shape. You just need the mental capacity to just not give up
@@chrisbeckett151 ok so you are suggesting it has nothing to do with the shape people are in. The condition of fitness is important when it comes to SAS selection. Absolutely extremely important. Essential.
To suggest otherwise shows a level of ignorance that I haven’t seen since yesterday
that's like saying running 5 marathons in a row has absolutely nothing to do with fitness... In-fact fitness is vital but you need an outrageously strong mindset too@@chrisbeckett151
@@chrisbeckett151 being in good shape has the most to do with the success rate of any sf selection. Don't be delusional and think you'll make any of them just by not quitting. You'll be drop if you fail any of the selection phases.
A relative was in the RAF. He told me that one day they were tackling an obstacle course. Before starting, they were told that another unit would be joining them, and for their own safety, to not look at them. So his unit sets off and are working their way through the course, when from behind them a group of men in full kit ran past them, in formation, and barely slowed down for the obstacles.
This guy is soooo mellow and an AWESOME story teller!😊
Really enjoying this interview, but you're right, you would never pick this guy out of a line up as a Delta Operator. He's like your next door neighbor who runs the local tire store or something. I don't picture him getting very excited. He reminds me of a telephone call my boss had with one of our agents in an engagement. He was so calm, but our boss heard something like gunfire, and asked what's that? And, the agent replied, "Oh, that's just someone shooting at us." Then he heard more gunfire and asked again, "What was that?" and the agent, "Oh, that's just us shooting back."
Man can’t get enough of this guy what an amazing individual and tier 1 bad ass.
Fascinating. Just articulate, clear and we'll told.
Great interview, glad to hear about the cooperation between the British SF guys and the Americans.
Task Force Black - there's a book about it.
It’s so amazing to see the difference and similarities between old and new CAG guys such as him and Kyle
Glad you're on our side. Keep up the hurt to those who ask for it.
You know Shawn, you don't hafta kill it so hard I feel like I never have enough time to watch all your increasingly better content. You just keep upping the ante.
The “no frag” line honestly made me die. No sounds like go is what I was always told
Some SAS/SBS guys would be awesome!
22SAS guys can't say much as they are restricted under UK law, unfortunately!
@@PF9O they say plenty lad. OSA doesn't seem to stop them from running their mouths.
@@jamescoyle9712all the podcasts I’ve seen with em they’ve never really spoken about ops at all
@@jamescoyle9712 In the year 2000, they made them sign confidentiality agreements. To stop all the books, which were embarrassing the Regiment. And if you notice, they never really go into details about their ops, only generalalities.
We got briefed by a SGT from E sqn at Um Quasar about HVT’s they were after in our objective areas, after the SR he handed out some phots which we stowed away and thought nothing about. Two weeks later and our team took out two of the HVT’s and captured one while operating in Basra. The 22 guys were happy we’d lightened there work load and D bought us a crate. Top blokes.
This was a great interview.. He's really sharp..
Would be sweet to have a convo with Chris and one of the SAS guys.
You have set a new standard for interviews. Your guests are not only very interesting but educational. This stuff should be in every high school in America.
Yes, it would be good for America's soul to celebrate America's destruction of a fascist regime. Rather than putting them on the supreme court.
The knowledge or the gunfight?
@@nilanjanmitra4431primary source historical records and accounts. Shouldn’t really be in every high school but should be readily available sources for anyone who wishes to read or listen to it
Fascinating clip and thanks both for your service. A left of field question: after an operation such as the one mentioned, is there any sort of analysis as to how the buildings are so tough, what weapons/tactics could have been better....but more in an engineering/structural sense? If so, who does that? Finally, who was funding these tracksuited, well-armed foreign fighters?
Post mission debriefs (lessons learned) are common with stuff getting writen down and passed up the chain. The buildings were (are) made of brick and clay which is common in most of the world. Not the wood structures you might be used to in North America.
Wow! It's so mind-blowing that he makes it sound so normal.
Hands down Shawn’s best episode to date
It’s awesome how unassuming these guys look lol and hes a combat wizard looks like a personal injury attorney i love it
Solid...total respect.
Your interviews Rock! I enjoy hearing about our professional warriors! Bad a$$!
Respect from Australia
I just want to say I'm new to your channel but I really enjoy it. I have been binge watching. I wish you a lot of success and really appreciate these videos.

@@alba9507 you're, not your.
Love the sas respect without stating they are as good over the years of teamwork
Love USA and UK won't end!!!
Great interview Shawn 👍🇬🇧🗡️
Awesome story. We in the US need to acknowledge, and often do, that the Brits were our instructors on how to do SOF. Raider Marines and Navy Frogmen being notable exceptions. Army Rangers trained by seasoned commandos. Delta founded as a copy of 22 SAS by Beckwith. We honor and respect the British veterans who taught our forebears how to fight elite Nazi troops. Give them credit, they taught our boys well. Godspeed and much love to our 5 eyes brothers.
This long form stuff without mics in peoples faces reminds me of the pre internet days. Nothing compares to good storytelling.
All the people wanting SAS interviews. Search for SAS Billy Billingham. He had like 22yrs service and then became a bodyguard for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. He's done a few interviews and reacted to some military videogames. Also Big Phil Campion. Phil's got a hell of life story and is a good laugh.✌️🍻
@@famalam943 Who, Billy or Phil? Both the UK and US say they are the best. Nothing wrong with it.
@@famalam943 Phil has said it too. Just because Billy has said something you don't personally agree with doesn't mean he's not a legend. He's probably the most decorated SF out there. He's earnt his stripes.
Love it, Always A Little Further 🏴☠️
“Cause that’s what we do” is a very very bad ass statement.
For anyone wanting to watch interviews with SAS guys, Dodge Woodall has had a few UKSF troopers on
Well worth watching 👍
But that dodge guy, bit of a bellend. Thick as fuck he is 💯🤷🏻♂️
More 22,SAS guy's please Sean 🙏 😀
This is one interesting interview.
'doesnt matter who ya are ya dying' should be the new SAS motto
Colin McClaghlan from the SAS would be good Shaun. Done the full yards with the regiment. Really articulate and funny aswell.
I was with 2nd MarDiv in '03 during the invasion, and we had intel on there being foreign fighters entering the country before we ever entered Baghdad. I think it was sometime after we went through An Nasiriya. We mostly encountered them, assuming the very dark men that looked like they were from Africa were in fact foreign fighters, around the suburbs of Baghdad.
Africans seriously 🤔
VanSant is the shit. Almost all of his deployments seem pretty much rock & roll hitting HVT’s and cool assaults. Guess it was a great time to be in Delta.
Hey Shawn…you should try to get some SAS/SBS and also Sayaret Maktal guys on here.
The little I get out of my dad of his stories he loved the Brits because the things the us couldn't do they would and as he says "God save the queen and they took care of it"
My dad re-engineered the TOW Missile, improving its first hit ratio from 66 to 92 percent.
that’s cool as fuck dude
Damn
What’s his name?
@@Tony27654 why would you ask that, and why would you need know!? Considering the nature of his work he wouldn't tell you anyway! I mean FFS!
@@senilestix Jesus Christ thought police
I think vansant is my fave,but when Mikel vega does the hummer minigun 😍🤘
These stories are just wild. I can listen to them for day's. You know, he brought back memories with the track suits. I was on FOB Normandy in Diyala Province when this happened, back in early '06.
One of our battalions signal support guys was bringing food up to the guys pulling week shifts on the retrans site they established. It happened to by on the Iraq side of our FOB, being that we were embedded and trying the Iraq forces up.
So anyway, apparently he was driving up to them when three men in track suits waved him down. I do not know why he stopped, why he got out by himself and why there was not someone else with him. Because, this retrans sites was actually right outside our Battle space. Ohhh and he left his weapon in the humvee when he dismounted out of the vehicle. They immediately overtook him, knocked him to the ground and wrapped wire around his neck. One of those razor thin type wire they would use to take your head off. He was saved by an Iraq soldier, who happened to hear the commotion and walk by. The Iraqi soldier fired on them, but he was a ways off and they managed to flee.
QRF was sent out, but they never found them. I will never forget, he had a nasty ring around his neck. A perfect cut all around and he was just extremely lucky. If that Iraqi soldier had not engaged them and if they went a little further, it would have been over.
I remember being at a Vehicle Security Point for G20 in Brisbane (2014 I think?) at Suncorp Stadium when the personnel limo King or Prince of Saudi Arabia came though. Nearly 40C and humid as fuck yet these Saudi blokes were standing around in track suits, visably suffering and had big bulky objects under their jackets. Armed to the teeth, overheated as fuck all for a standard x-ray and and mirror check on the limo.
@@goodshipkaraboudjan God famn and you know how that heat was
@@goodshipkaraboudjan Especially in track suits . I remember when we first got to Ramadi amd they were trying make us wear full battle
They learned real quick that we weren't having it and shit wasn't going to work. That was back in 2005. You had to go light and be able to move.
How come we don't get SAS talking and telling stories cause the elite don't brag or boast
@eugenedempsey2838 I would agree to that. Like I said; they were the one's who changed the game. No one before operated like them, and Delta Force was created because of them. Well, let's just say they were completely modeled after them, but Delta Force quickly turned into their own Force, and they are just as elite a force. I am sure if he found more SAS, they would love to tell some stories, and Delta is not leaking anything we do not already know.
Doesn't matter who you are you're dying, having pissed SAS coming for you're gonna have a bad day.
That sounds like quite the welcoming party!!
You will never be able to ignore me, Todd
"Alright mate, frag out". That's the most british thing I have heard. 2nd was from Phil campion during his pod cast when he rescued british military hostages in Sierra Leone. They got off helicopter and his friend looked at him.and said " hey Phil, we're pointing the wrong way mate"🤣🤣🤣.
The most British thing I’ve ever heard was a story of a British pilot escaped a German prisoner of war camp in full dress by showing the guards a fake Bulgarian ID. Telling them he was a Bulgarian spy undercover. The ID had the name
“Captain Ivan Buggeroff.”
My man walked out the front gate with the id “I bugger off” even escaping had to make it a joke.

I worked with a group of lads from 22 SAS on a strike Op just outside of Basra in 2007. Incredible guys!! One was killed the following week whilst on a mission in Baghdad. I've been looking for some more information regarding his death but of course information is very limited due to the nature of 22 SAS missions i guess
Like father like son🇺🇸🇬🇧
moral of the story... don't tell the 22nd to not throw a frag.. you can bet your ass they going to throw all they f****n have
I think the moral was don't say things which can be misheard very easily that may have catastrophic consequences.
We had no business being in Iraq.
Sorry to see such a loss of life there.
This guy looks like country star TG Sheppard. Also Chris is a dawggggggggg
Great interview of a great American. Can you get Kevin holland on?
4:48 glad the Brit's could join us in wiping rooms indiscriminately.
And thats why a good friend of mine who is ex sas has always said we are the only special forces that are trained to use the bare minimum simply down to funding,.....now things have changed alot but that was always the case apparently
Yeah, 22 will always have that 'guerilla warfare' edge over other units due to what it's endured but also holds up in every other department aswell which is what makes it so deadly, Technology/equipment/funding or none of those and the unit will still get the job done, amazing
You may have misheard or misunderstood. UKSF gets what is needed rather than what is wanted but a lot of the time operational procurements will happen with very little argument for justification. Everyone always wants a bigger hammer, I'd take it with a pinch of salt.
@@Ry43deck In one. it's how selection is done in the first instance. Guys that can get the job done with the bare minimum and with sheer determination are hand picked and then they are trained and equiped beyond belief. It's the man that does the job, the kit just makes it easier.
@@robbiepemberton it's the first time in a long time that I've read intelligent ,thought out comments.,and both of them happen to come from you robbie Pemberton!👍👍👍
@@robbiepemberton yeah exactly man! So it baffles me when the pathetic cringe argument happens when ppl bamble on about Delta being more elite and the best thing since sliced bread just because of equipment and more funding but in reality money doesn't buy everything. In regards to your reply to the other dude aswell, Delta doesn't get everything that it wants either, there is no blank cheque as some would believe, it's all necessary to what makes sense but sometimes they're able to work around getting WHAT they want rather than what is just necessary for what is Needed for the mission etc
Brave guy’s 👍
I expect when the SAS lose someone, there's no screaming or anger. It would be something like Christian Bale in Equilibrium (the film), suddenly going zero emotion and killing everything within a 10m radius without even thinking about it.

as an Englishman and londoner I find great comfort knowing our SAS lads are fighting with the warriors of delta force.
usa are our brothers x
See, the internet Americans who haven't served like to talk whack about the SAS, but those who have met them know what they're about. You never hear anything bad about them from those who have operated with them.
Well this guy thinks "it doesnt matter who you are, youre going to die" is a cool way to approach things, so he would have zero complaints about the SAS. It's exciting to watch them murder with such abandon, when Delta have to actually aim, shoot, and know who they kill. He thought he was being exciting with a flash bang, and the SAS just throw grenade everywhere. Then again delta got through with no losses talked about in this video and the SAS were being their usual headless chicken selves just shooting anything that moves running and gunning. I think the SAS get a bad rep because they mostly murder civillians, and they ran out of the place dressed as women.
@@geroutathatgod, you're a salty weirdo. Get a grip
@geroutathat he explained that sas got the short straw and that's why they took casualties. Then delta rained fire with the Bradley's so that's not knowing who they kill. The sas don't run around like headless chickens lol you sound quite bitter to behonest
@@KOPITE8989he sound like a wank stain to me 😂😂😂
@geroutathat I doubt u served. U don't know much, do you.
Yikes,. imagine joining the fight and yous first battle is with delta force and 22 SAS
What about when SAS and paras broke in to an Iraqi jail to free 2 SAS, officers wouldn’t let them but who’s gonna tell them to their face, still went ahead and rescued their 2 brothers 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Well you would expect the SAS and Paras to assault civillian jails etc, I mean its their bread and butter? but remember they actually had no backup and had to face the taliban head on, one on one, no air strikes, nothing... remember? They dressed as muslim women and ran for the border, that was next level.

Hey Shawn. Love your podcast. Small tangent: do we really need to provide highlights at the start of a highlight clip. Its alreay short enough that they basically just spoil the video. Maybe that's just me though. Keep up the great podcasts brother.
You need to get some SAS guys on here.

Mate ! One thing they aren't is fkin loveable!
@@jamesmorgan4426 bad word choice mate ! Utter quality unit though
So he had an Operation on Halloween night in 2003. The exact day I was born, kinda crazy to think I was being born while he’s kicking some ass.
Aussie SAS would be cool Shaun
They should go hunt HVT's in Washington D.C.
?
Be cool for you to get a 22 guy highly recommend mark billy Bingham absolute legend 🤟
I have seen a Iraqi building take 2 500lbs JDAMs. Well not really 2. It took 1, then a GPS guided artillery round and then the second JDAM blew up EVERYTHING.
"Right mate, frag out!" 😅😅😂
"This is weird why are foreigners coming to the country.. what's their goal.. what's their objective." the irony. It's the same both sides feel they are fighting the bad guy. Love these interviews. They are eye opening. And of course these guys are so badass.
many mercs too I would imagine.
British SAS and delta force are one of the same really.. I believe delta force came from the concept of the SAS. They seem to team up and do way more joint missions together then say the SAS and the navy seals.
The original template that Delta Force emulated as a Counter Terrorism Unit came from the SAS model in the 70s. That structure and model was aimed at being an organization that was only to be used for episodic, crisis situations that the bigger Military could not handle I.e Hostage rescue and other rare problem sets that didn’t happen in high frequency but were high in complexity and difficulty.
This model of SOF almost completely changed over night in the GWOT because it put Special Operations to be used as the main effort. Global targeting become the new modus operandi for Special Operations and neither the US or UK had any experience waging counter terrorism at that scale, (Al Qaeda having a foot print in over 120 different countries)
This forced SOF into new territory that required a massive network of intelligence/support assets that changed the charter, gear, tactics, operating structure and culture of SOF over night. The SAS model of SOF completely disappeared and it was Delta Force and JSOC that innovated the way forward. Todays SAS and UK SF as a whole are more American in concept today more then ever.

@@JwW-zt2dj don't listen to that 'Joe's gotya' he's a troll who comments on dozens upon dozens of military videos pushing the narrative that the USA Is the greatest country to ever exist and that the American military is the best, most experienced and flawless creation mankind has seen
@@joesgotya9930 In SOP maybe the structure is still the same, and it is based off 22SAS
@@carwyngriffiths.,, Nope, the selection, training and even how the Squadrons and troops organize completely changed in the GWOT.. In fact neither SAS or Delta had ever fought in a conflict at the full squadron strength until the GWOT,, before that they deployed and fought at the troop level. Everything changed from the structure to the support mechanisms because these Units were never designed for that scale of operations.
Ian Plank SBS was one of the 22SAS that was killed.
During the invasion At OBJ MOE we encountered foreign fighters from Syria. His encounter wasn’t the first.
I met some SAS boys at Lympstone back in the 90's. Those fellas are proper tasty when it comes to rucking.
If you were at Lympstone then you should have been on the same level.
7 hours later and there’s sub-200 comments on this? I mean I’d expect that on my crappy channel, but not here. This is good stuff and these guys are legit heroes.
Heroes? Invading another country illegally? I suppose you think Russians are heroes too?
5:02 can someone explain what he's saying here? They weren't running nods? Knots?
Night vision goggles
When he’s explaining about the SAS near the end he says and they where still on ###%% …. I’m not military . But it’s clearly saying they didn’t have some technology ?
I’m English and I’m not complaining at all !!! This is one of the best posts ever .. but what where the Brits missing ? 🇬🇧
You'd expect nothing less from SAS lol.
Please please please get some ex SAS guys on your show!
