Hi! The 3 hostage were killed in Alger.
No civilians died during the GIGN assault.
That was a near perfect operation...
& no one man of GIGN was dead or have incapacitating injuries
@@WhiteWidowFromParis False, one soldier was badly wounded, took 7 bullets and a grenade, but was able to kill 3 terrorists. Look it up, he's the inspiration behind "Montagne" in R6
@@rrows5803 I'm sorry, you're right, this guy was 100% invalidated after that.
He's still alive, and probably okay, but has some serious scarring and some shards in his body.
But didn't die after 7 hits & a grenade...they're not men...they're superheroes...they're legendary...
@@WhiteWidowFromParis Going in blind inside a plane filled with civilians and an unsure number of enemy is, indeed, a ballsy move, wich is why we love and support the GIGN with all our might, those men take as luch risk as any soldiers, but people still thinks their the same as SWAT.. Just officers doing more risky jobs, wich isn't the case..
@@WhiteWidowFromParis Saw him in an interview 2 years ago. Most bullets hit one of his arm. It could be saved but his career was over of course. He spent 3 months at the hospital, had to be ressucited once but in the end he was fine, considering the bullets and the grenade.
I think for me this is most iconic special forces operation ever! I remember watching this from the news back then. I was just a child but I remember being mesmerized by those images of the GIGN forcing the plane's door open and storming in.
Nah. That would be Entebbe...
2 movies have been done about GIGN operations.
The first one called "Le raid" is based on the Marignane airport intervention discussed in the video.
The second is caĺled "L'intervention" and based on the hostage rescue in Djibouti in 1976, it was the first big operation of GIGN, they saved many children and shot down more than 20 opponents.
Both are good movies.
@Kyxe NAU yes there is a movie called the assault you can find it there
This or the sas and the Iranian embassy that was also iconic
watch "l'assaut" movie bro
The three civilians were unfortunately killed BEFORE the GIGN were in position to enter in the dance... Once in France, the GIGN managed to release all the hostages alive and killed all the hijackers... Major Favier continued his career in french Gendarmerie, finished 5 stars General and the big boss of all the french gendarmerie during few years, he is retired from service and has began a new civilian career.
For more context, Algeria refused to let the GIGN help them, that was until the third hostage killed was french, at that point France put immense pressure on Algeria to let them fly to "Paris" as they wanted, which was actually just an excuse to make them land where the GIGN could meet them.
The first guy used just a Manurhin magnum, not an MP5. He took out 2 in the first few seconds
Skilled shooter with a wheel gun
It's a noun...
and wounded the third
He also wounded the third, got wounded 7 times by bullets + took a grenade blast, survived and inspired the character Montagne from the game Rainbow Six Siege.
Manhurin mr73, 357 magmun, certainly one of the Best revolver ever in this caliber.
I was 15 at the time, glued on my TV watching the assault, live. Marking event and most of the current GIGN operators were young kids watching that day as well. This unit is one of the 2 or 3 best units in France, and definitely among the very best counter-terrorism units in the world, with a lot of experience. As many other commented before me, all 3 hostages killed were killed before the GIGN was brought into the situation. Also the first operator to get on the plane used a MR73 revolver to take down the first terrorists, not an MP5. I do not have an MR73 yet (soon), but I do have a pre-ban full auto MP5 mostly because of this specific operation. Legend...
Vive La France 🇨🇵 Vive le GIGN
Brilliant work by the GIGN, massive respect from Britain.
greetings from france
ça aurait ete bien que votre gouvernement nous donne l homme qui financer les terroriste sur le sol français ce qui a permit pendnat 4 mois a des groupe islamique de poser des bonbe a paris dans les rue et les metro et les train
Re-posting a comment from the original video here because I think it's a cool trivia: "The second man in the column and first in the aircraft, Thierry Prungnaud, sustained a LOT of enemy fire ( he took 7 bullets in total, one is still today in his shoulder). Putting his well being on the side, he continued his assault on the cockpit until he was incapacitated by a bullet to the face (hitting the visor of his helmet) and a grenade blast. He lived through his injuries but remained partially handicapped and his operational career pretty much ended here.
His courage and combativity were noticed by many counter terrorism units around the world and the Navy seals made him an honorable member of their unit. A really cool picture of the major Prungnaud, in great Gendarmerie uniform with the seals' trident on his chest can be seen on the internet."

I'm French, we have good movie's on this attack, this name : "L'assaut" 👍 (Available on Netflix EU)

To be ckear the 3 people that died were executed before the gign were able to get there, after the executions the French PM threated algeers that they would blame them if they didnt let the gign take over operations. During the actual raid the gign team didnt let a single person die although a bunch were injured.
Yep and only 12 passengers had minor injuries and 10 GIGN members were wounded
Oh man, I remember watching this incident live in the French news. I was 14 years old. So impressed.
Respect GIGN.
I'm a Londoner (UK) so I love your videos of the SAS. In a country that seems to be in decline, the SAS is one of the few British things we can still be proud of as being one of the best in the world.
As someone with interest in Special Forces from around the world, The GIGN is (in my opinion) underrated, They know how to party.
France has always had a bigger risk than most countries of Islamic Terrorism so their Special Forces have trained and developed to keep ahead of the game.
Hello, I am French and I wanted to intervene. The SAS is and will remain one of the first and best intervention units. Their History proves their effectiveness. They are in my opinion the pioneers who paved the way for other anti-terrorist units. But above all, let us not forget that they are also the first commando unit which proved, during the Second World War, their competence and their courage ... hence the nickname (in French in the text) of "Diable rouge"
I do share Pierre comment. SAS is the original sf force. Regards from France
SAS are very good too.
1st Special Forces unit in the History after all.
@@pierrehigonnet851 C’est sûr. Selon moi, que ce soit le GIGN, le SAS Britannique (car les Australiens et les Néozélandais ont aussi des SAS), les SEAL’s, le CPA10, les berets verts de la marine, le 1er RPIMa, ce sont toutes d’excellentes unités qui sont les meilleures au monde.
Fun fact about the revolver, if I remember correctly, the GIGN is the only Special Force that is allowed to bring a revolver in an operation, the weapon kind of being their symbol (Hope I remembered correctly '-')
this is true and also linked to the fact that during selection process of the GIGN, there is the exam of "tir de confiance" (shot of confidence), where the candidate has to shoot on a target of plastic mounted on the bulletproof vest of another candidate. This is to test the ability to trust your team member and also trust yourself as " shooting on a colleague"
Non il y a le Grupo de Operações Especiais) Portugal qui utilise le desert eagle , si on considère un desert eagle comme un revoler vue c’est balle de calibre 50
@@Lunaticjuniorfnckeurope un revolver a un barillet, un pistolet a un chargeur. Cela n'a rien à voir avec le calibre.
@@gregoirenoble1564 En plus le Desert Eagle fonctionne à emprunt de gaz comme un fusil d'assaut. Même la culasse se vérouille comme un fusil d'assaut.
This is perhaps the hardest hostage scenario to manage.
And the GIGN handled it perfectly. They showed great skill.
I think they were very lucky to complete the mission without any casualties.
Opération légendaire ! 🇫🇷👊👌🙏
"Operation terminated, damage limited" 😂 nice vid from France ^^
no bs straight to the point
For everybody, Their is a film on this Operation called "L'Assaut" from 2010, it is very well made and explains a lot of things inclulding real images.
"L'Assaut"("The Assault" in US), very good french movie available on Netflix (I suppose with english sub as well in US) about this operation, as seen from the inside through the eyes of the GIGN team. A very cold and realistic movie, quiet stunning and original ! Cheers ! ;)
(th-cam.com/video/U5ZzOUSNM1M/w-d-xo.html the last scene of the movie in bad screener quality = the assault in the plane)
The political impact for Algeria of letting french special forces intervene can be understood through the lens of a nation that took independance from colonial France not that long ago at that time.
It should also be noted that the Algerian government only relented when Paris threatened to hold them responsible for any French civilian deaths, to cut off their financial support (at the time France heavily supported Algeria's counterinsurgency against the GIA, which the terrorists were part of) and publicly denounce them at the UN Security Council. Anyway, from an international law standpoint, planes and ships count as a territorial extension of their home countries, so the plane was technicaly French soil.
@@AlshainFR that's interesting, didn't know that
They had flashbang, you can see on the original video the gign operator on the stair throw them trough the window. As for the shield, that's basically the gign that b ballistic shield on the field. They even have a Ramses which is on wheel and a brand new one to stop ak47 ammunition with more ease (used during bataclan assault for example) but let's not forget that at that time ballistic shield where heavy and not very manœuvrable which in thought environnement not very good. They didn't use lethal grenade since crew members were on the cockpit and they were hostages involved lol
Hey, if you need a French translation for a future video i may do one ;)
That’s would be Nice
Shoot 6 terrorist at once at the same time on February 1976 in Djibouti, where's a school bus is taken hostage, is the most epic skill I ever seen, and GIGN is the only special forces I know are trained to do so. And GIGN is the only special forces equipped with 357 magnum.
They're not SF but counter terrorism units ... There's only 2 SF units in France and GIGN isn't one
The three hostages were killed in Algeria, well before the intervention of the GIGN. First to enter the plane, Thierry P. killed two terrorists and wounded a third, before being wounded by the fourth. He was not using an HK MP5 but a Manurhin MR-73. This amazing revolver can be seen at 4:32 and 7:39.
Another GIGN member (Philippe X.) was wounded in the index finger when a Kalashnikov bullet passed under the barrel of his SiG P.226 and exited through the trigger guard. His gun saved his life.
The interview of Thierry P 👍🏻

I indirectly took part in this operation, sort of:
I was a military fireman based in Massena, Paris (2è gpt, 2è Cie) and my whole company alongside others waited in the forests around Paris for the night, this plane was to be shot down above us before reaching Paris...
We were all very happy to have been ultimately sent there for nothing.
Hello. How was the plane supposed to be shot down ? By missile ?
@@francoism2232 yes, to prevent any risk of a kamikaze attack on Paris.
j'aime bien tes vidéos, mais je ne parle pas bien Anglais, dommage je ne comprends pas tout . Merci et bravo
After this attack the french secret services discoverd the terrorist plan. They wanted to load the plane with all the kerosene as possible then take off to paris to crash the plane on the Eiffel tower. Thank you to our heroes (saying OUR heroes because i am french)
bonjour de France 🪖merci pour nos soldat 🪖☮
RIP

Back in the days, there wasn't bulletproof shields. That's why it was such a difficult operation
Glory For French Army and French GIGN
Would be happy to help with any French -> English translations that you need, just let me know.
Hello, arriving late to the battle; if you still need a french guy helping when ia doesn’t translate quite well feel free to pick my name.
Bonne vidéo, mais tu parles de nostalgie comme si les français n'était pas à la pointe de la techno à l'époque.. En tout cas malgré nos législations, on est de plus en plus à s'armer pour se défendre. Et n'oubliez pas qu'on est vos ancêtres cher peuple US. En toute amitié.. 🤗
Hi, look "l'Assaut" movie french, real story with GIGN.
I am sorry but I think you did a mistake. There was no dead in this operation except the hijackers. Which is pretty much a big deal in such complicated terrain. Since this op, the GIGN trains many special forces around the world on taking back control of planes, buses, trains and boats.
Fun fact : the GIGN unit never suffered any loss to his troops since it creation
On était pas loin de la mort d'un des opérateurs lors de cette opération, Thierry Prungnaud si tu ne connais pas le monsieur. 😊
Heureusement rien de mortel, mais ça lui a laisser de grosses séquelles
get your facts right : 14 casualities since creation
@@douili450 ok i will admit that it is not zero and i apologize for that mistake for it is actually 4 KIA's since the creation not 14
Oui sa serait cool de traduire ces vidéos réaction en français ou en d'autres langues pour les autres
the entire assault is crazy, when the guy from the GIGN was shoot on the staircase make me sad
There is a mistake (I don't know if people talked about it) the first gign guy use a Manurhin MR73 357 magnum to engage the terrorist, he claimed the space was to narrow for an mp5 and when ask by an other GIGN agent :
- "But you have only 6 bullets !"
He answered :
- They are only 4, I have two useless bullets (he admitted having shot the first guy two times tho)
Hi’, thank you for the video and your fair and humble comments.
For your information, there’s another iconic operation of the GIGN that took place in the early eighties when hundreds of terrorist took hostages in the holly city of the MEcque in Saudi Arabia. The saudies could’nt handle the situation just by themselves and asked the french government for assistance. At first, and officially, French where supposed to provide assault equipments to the saudies because non Muslims can’t enter this holly city . But in fact , GIGN guys where the ones organizing and operating during the assault . My doctor was a retired doctor from GIGN and he confirmed me that GIGN where converted to Islam in a quick ceremony to be allowed to enter the Mecque .
Thank you again for your super interesting videos
Bh ton médecin est un menteur car le capitaine sur place à affirmer plusieurs fois que personne ne c'était converti ...Aujourd'hui seul un d'entre eux est musulman mais il s'est converti des années après ..
@@zeroxcqt2862 Non mais personne ne dit QU'ILS SE sont convertis mais qu'ils ONT été "convertis" par une petite cérémonie rapide, un peu comme une bénédiction chez les cathos.
Ce n'est pas la même chose et t'imagines bien que personne ne se convertit en un claquement de doigts.
Surtout qu'une bonne partie doit être athée.
C'était juste pour que les autorités locales puissent dire qu'ils n'avaient pas fait d'entorse au règlement.
Même ceux qui ont réaliser cette petite cérémonie n'ont pas dû croire un instant que les membres du groupe se sont convertis...
C'était juste pour la forme !
Here is a clip from the movie "The Assault", posted on official GIGN channel. Shows the actual assult pretty accurately: th-cam.com/video/U5ZzOUSNM1M/w-d-xo.html
Hello i im the french VIVE la France et merci au d'intervention de protéger mon pays
I specify that the gign is a military unit with a lot of police mission but remains above all military unit
Yes but no. It’s a military unit but like all the GIGN it’s under the authority of the ministère de l’intérieur. What we called the autorité d’emploi
@@MachinTruc-kw4lh the gendarmerie according to wikipedia is under the supervision of the Ministry of the Interior and under the authority of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, in any case, the military is not depending on the ministry but rather on the status and state of mind, there are military firefighters etc.
Could you possibly react to Qala I jangi prison uprising please. Great video
Glad you reacted to this, the GIGN is such an iconic unit. As for that revolver, it's still in use by them afaik. Each one of those is made to match grade accuracy and there's even a sniper variant with bipod and a scope. Very cool piece of kit indeed
I think that this was definitely an attempt to use the plane as a bomb. The whole Christmas day thing ... Nah. There was no press conference planned.
They clearly wanted to crash the plane on Paris (Eiffel tower) the premises of 9/11.
I like this, thanks a lot ! From France 🇫🇷
Still blow my mind how they manage to sneak a guy disguised as an airport's staff without being Noticed by the terrorist i mean those guys are bulky af it should have been kinda sus o think they did a great job playing the waiting game and grinding those terrorist nerves cause no way they would have let that happen in a normal state.
Je suppose que tu parles français vu ton pseudo. En réalité les gars du GIGN, son athlétique/mince, pas ultra musclé. Le recrutement pour le GIGN favorise les hommes mince et d'une taille moyenne. Et ce pour une raison simple, c'est plus simple pour un homme d'1m75 de 75 kilos de se faufiler dans un conduit d'évacuation et de passer discrètement dans des endroits étriqués comparé à un mec d'1m90 et 95 kilos de muscles.
Le GIGN est formé pour agir avec rapidité et précision, que ce soit en combat ou pour la négociation. Ce n'est pas une équipe de choc.
Thanks for speaking about France forces in good terms. Subscribed!
I'm French 🇫🇷🤩
The first guy only had a manurhin (revolver), he said, it is not american movies, where you shoot hundreds of bullets and people keep running, it is 1 bullet, 1 dead. Bad ass
This story was foreshadowing the terrorist attack of 9/11/2001. It's suspected that the terrorist planned to crash the plane on Paris. We will never know, because all of the terrorists have been killed, but it's a shame that this kind of danger was not considered after this "first warning".
Hi,
I don't know if you found someone that can help you but I am a french native speaker if you need any help
Sorry I reacted late, I only just saw your video. Not least, three of the four terrorists were shot down and/or mortally wounded by an operator with his MR73 and not the MP5.
Pilots were on their seats and terrorist where between them and GIGN. No option to escape. The cockpit door was not bullet proof at this time and only 20 in wide….the stairs was too night because during preparation they didn’t thought the plane was loaded with fuel and shocks were more compressed.
It’s funny you say « look retro »….but it was retro, it was 30 years ago.
The operation stay secret for a week in France! Balldur! Don't want a wor with Algeria! But we done it!
Counter-Terrorists win!
I am german I will translaye
Hi, I know it's an old video already, I can help in both french and german (to some extend, dutch as well)
I remember passing near the airport as a kid going back from Christmas at my grandparents in Marseille. We saw something was up but couldn’t tell what.
Why didn't they use more flash and stun grenades when entering the plane? they were met with enemy fire as soon as they stepped in.
9 GIGN man were injured, with 1 of them being badly injured. I hope everyone of them is safe and healthy nowadays.
Hey, dynamite is pretty stable. It's stabilized nitroglycerin (which isn't stable at all)
The reason why Algeria wouldn't let French military on its soil was because Algeria used to be a part of France during 150 years, part of the colonnial empire, and after WW2 all those countries (Indochina/Vietnam, Algeria, and a lot of west Africa countries) would gain their independance, and with some (Indochina and Algeria in particular), it was very complicated. After the independance of Algeria in 1962, relations with France were very complicated to say the least. So it is understandable in that regard that Algeria would not let the french army on its soil.
Thierry Prungnaud is the man who entered the first in the cockpit, killed one of the terrorists and severely wounded a second (who will die from his injuries). But just before being able to shoot a third a terrorist, a fourth one who is hidden behind a corner open fire with his ak though out the wall and hit Thierry 7 times; 3 in one arm, 3 in the chest (partially stopped by its kevlar body armor), and one in the face, which make the protection glass explode and the bullet goes through its chin. He fall on his back, in a state of shock, and will stay there 12 minutes before his mates could rescue him. At one point, one terrorist throws a grenade in the corridor, which lands on Thierry's right, a few centimeters away. He will have just the strength to turn his back to the grenade before it explodes, hurting him more.
He had dozens of grenade shards and bullet fragments lodged all over his body, and will be operated on 19 times, causing one cardiac arrest and several serious infections, even years later.
He suffered severe PTSD and it took 27 years so he could be recognized as a victim of terrorism.
He is still alive; a true hero.
Gooday mate
I would be more than happy to help you with the French / English translation 👍
Honestly it's kinda sad that this video has so little views. I'm Canadian,but this operation is one of the western world's major moments against terrorism,and another country showing that nobody is gonna take crap from terror. Every country involved in the war on terror makes me proud,I'm proud of the Canadian caper of the 1980 hostage crisis in Tehran,I'm proud of S.A.S operation Nimrod,operation enduring freedom,you name it.
We won't go gentle into the good night, as long as freedom is on the line
Edit: also if you enjoy do videos on counter terrorism,maybe you could do a video on lidnt (?) Cafe in Australia,it was both a sad,and succesful siege.

Another top quality video sir. Any of videos you do reacting to these videos will be class. Go through the whole list lol. Thanks again sir.
GIGN 💪
Please react to the IDF operation in Entebbe
The side arm was in the operator hands, it blew up and kind of threw him down the stairs. There’s footage of it. Go see it, it’s worth it. And f ing scary!
I think what they ment by dynamite are the TNT blasting charges we used in the army. Technically dynamite but way more stable.Just a guess, great vid once again.
You should join the French Foreign Legion. You would surely have some fun.
Another great video mate, thank you. I'd love you to take a look at operation Barras, otherwise known as operation cirtain death.

Hey I play a lot of rainbow aha
Can you react to Malaysia Komando GGK, plz? (day 2)
Lahad Datu.
A few remarks.
1: The forward stair wasn't the proper height, as an officer who didn't know not all three doors were at the exact same height noticed the difference with the two others and ordered it to be put at the same as the two others.
The only man present was a driver, not an intervention group member, and failed to oppose the officer's order.
2: They threw three flashbangs into the cockpit to basically no effect.
3: the fight would have been over quicker had the meals rack, in effect a metal wall, not prevented any small arms fire from getting to the highjackers in the cockpit.
4: No shields were used as speed and accuracy was fundamental to their success. The GIGN motto was "To save a life at the expense of one's own".
Shield on a plane stupid the mobility it's most Important

rainbow six siege GIGN look it up
I know the yellow face shield can take a few shots and protect the wearer
Not sure if this was the CT op but there was two SAS guy that one time helped out in taking a plane back, and they introduced the flashbang for the first time, I believe it was the SAS who used them first and helped to develop the flashbang, I was a live that day but still young.
Non c’était uniquement le GIGN, personne d’autre, les SAS sont fort, mais ils n’ont servis à rien ce jour là.
