Maaan, you do not fuk with the British special forces. They are a totally different breed. My father is ex US special forces who worked closely alongside the British special boat service who are on the same level as the special air service. And my father has told me some awesome stories about working alongside them.... He told me they are like some kind of supernatural entity when they are on operation, but a bunch of lunatics, when they in party mode
I’m no military expert gatecrasher but I’d say it’s down to being the original special forces nation therefore having more years of training and assessment. It’s a great shame the government don’t back our armed forces with the money needed as we’d have the best in the world. We strongly rely on our alliance with you Americans
The SBS and SAS are not "on the same level" as you stated. They're 2 entirely different types of units/operators. The difference is along the same lines as the US Navy SEALS and SWCC.
“By Strength and Guile”. The most fitting motto I have possibly ever witnessed, in any context, for any organisation. The absurd level of understatement in this short motto, is a thing of true beauty.
ViperByte I was impressed by the motto of the tank regiment as well, “forward without fear”. But the SBS motto has a grand application in its evocation of strategic prowess.
I understand from the media that no charges were brought against them. God, give me strength, travel five miles to walk in the country and because of covid you are fined £200. Hi Jack a ship and its a get out of jail free card. 😠😠
I'm so proud as a British citizen that we have such fantastic special forces get the job done then gone just as fast as they had arrived love it 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The SBS are insanely underrated. They have a history longer than the SAS and are extremely professional, experienced and efficient in naval/coastal warfare. They deserve much more recognition than what they seem to get
@@dennisaddey3668 For sure, any special forces don't want their activities to be generally known, I just mean that they should be recognised more as members of the UKSF. The SAS are fantastic and we're lucky to have them but in general the public tend to only think of them as UKSF when there's actually several different groups. The SRS also dont get much recognition
So they sneak onboard a ship going to Britain and when they get there, they take control of the ship and demand to go to Britain. Why the f**k didn’t they just wait until the ship docked and them sneak ashore? My shoe size is higher then their combined IQ.
Probably because the terrorists have the ability to run and avoid being caught if they were next to land. At sea, it's way easier to catch them all way before they can even board their boats.
I remember reading a few news reports just after it happened saying one of the crew members caught the men hiding (near the engine room i think or in an open cargo container) I don't know if its fake news but this is the reason i know that they did it and also the reason they didn't prep weapons beforehand. Spur of the moment kinda thing. They probably didn't even know they were that close to the British shoreline as well. I can't remember where i read this thought could of been from any of the major news websites.
We seem to have lost our way a little recently in the British isles.. But having, arguably, the best soldiers in the world undertaking operations in which they risk their lives, unbeknown to most, fills me with immense pride. They are true heroes, as some die protecting us or our interests without us ever knowing about it. Respect.
Just shows how much goes on without our knowledge and what our lads do to keep us safe daily. It isn't a tv show it's real life with real consequences. God bless those men and women who serve to defend this great island. May we always remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Less We Forget.
I love our armed forces there the best in the world,but this fantasy shit graits me,if a major war kicked off our forces are to small to deal with it,the men you say are sleeping will then be called to fight,so every word you said is shite
As Sun Tsu said, “Every battle is won before it’s ever fought.” The hijackers lost, the moment they set foot on that ship. They just didn’t know it. True silent professionals. Well done SBS and support elements.

This is such a childish view on things, the majority of people appreciate the special forces and also the regular forces, they’re allowed to appreciate celebrities too and their talents, very narrow minded to only appreciate what you think is worth the approval. The reason why people are celebrities is because most of the time they bring joy and diversity of views and opinions to people tell me what is wrong with that?
Absolutely, please check out Ace Destroyer and T.I.K too, if you don’t know of them already. All do fantastic work on covering different aspects of military history.
@@unitforce7417 Quite rightly said. Sometimes the rep is so great that the just-as-tenacious training of the other SF of the world gets overlooked. That said...the GSG9 was trained by the SAS in the formation phases. At Mogadischu, two SAS men led the assault by breaching the aircraft entryway (they were deemed specialists, and the German govt chose to take all measures for the safety of the hostages - on its own a great credit to the political process then in place). I believe the Canadians have greatly accredited SF units too...not to mention the US SEALs, Green Berets, etc etc.
Just wanna say, this channel is such a testament to what our special forces do knowing they are shrouded in secrecey. The best on the planet......FACT!
I don't remember hearing about this event at all. I never knew modern day pirates became a threat this close to mainland Europe. Not sure what they were thinking sailing straight into the lion's den.
@@giannizen3775 none of which where the UKs fight, but coalitions and NATO. Incidentally, the only European nation to support Argentina in the Falklands War 1982, was Italy. Ex 42 retired.
Almost the exact same thing happened this week. Oil tanker was seized 5 minutes off of Poole. SBS responded within 9 minutes. No casualties, just some awful pirates in custody. Can’t wait for the eventual episode on the incident.
the reason is because traditionally we have only ever had a small regular military, so we have had to focus more on quality than quantity. because the US has such a massive military budget and a huge army it isn't as necessary for them to be as specialised. they can simply overwhelm with force and superior equipment. but the british have to find some way of multiplying force so the emphasis has had to be on quality. that said the US special forces and british special forces do a lot of training together and share intelligence and methods etc.
@@ToxicMrSmith Sure they could, but if they tried they'd receive a few nukes for their trouble, so they won't. We're a valuable asset to the US, they'd rather have us as allies.
@@_Raven_ just saying that when it comes to ultimate safety and power it's the us everyday. And I doubt anyone is going to play nuke games with them either. Even Russia isn't that stupid as we've seen so far.
@@ToxicMrSmith Russia correctly takes the UK very seriously as a threat as well, as we've seen recently from their threat to nuke us. Maybe we can't steamroll Russia the way the US can, but ideally we won't have to. And if we do, America will be right there with us. We could also factor in a lot of other aspects, but that's an entirely different debate
@@_Raven_ no one takes the UK seriously except for the fact they have the US as allies. And don't get me wrong I don't think people take Australia seriously either. Point is the only reason that the world isn't ruled by communist China is because of the usa. None of us could take them on without the yanks.
Man oh man.. Could you actually imagine having 20 SBS, armed to the teeth, pumped up and ready go, coming for yo ass lol.. man oh man. Like seriously. Anyone who takes a ship or oil rig in UK waters is in trouble. Right now as I type this and as you read it.. They are waiting and raring to go all out action man styles!! Very proud of all UK forces :)
The team should have shot the fuckers to send a message. It used to be a tradition in SF where if you are deployed in a situation like that you kill the fucking lot. Now they look weak.
@@mikechedzoy4866 Nah. I don't think that any reasonable person thinks that UKSF are "weak". The unreasonable ones are probably stupid enough to get themselves wiped some other way, before they get anywhere near a UK soldier.
These guys are doing a job, of which they are very good at not looking for medals or congratuations or being told how good they are, they do it becouce they are trainned to do it and it needed doing god bless these guys. Keep up fellers.
I remember this I could see this, this was like 10 minutes away from me. When the ship docked after the incident I could see it from my work which I was on the other side of the river. Brilliant job lads 👍🏻
The hijackers didnt have any hostages for leverage either. I believe the crew along with the captain locked themselves in a room. Hard to negotiate when you've got nothing to negotiate with , haha. Glad to hear the SBS getting some much deserved recognition.
They would have known in advance that the shaky boat service would be assaulting the target being water borne no drama the lads from H are the go to firm when it’s a land based job
SAS would have stood down with no dramas it’s a maritime issue, you would have had QRF wanting in the wings ready to engage if called upon. Outstanding effort 🔵🔴🔵
I've snorted lines longer than what that took to gain control, you wouldn't want to be the 1 these boys are coming for!! Trained killers trained professionals and I reckon absolute gentlemen to talk to in public not knowing who they are or was or what they do or did...SAS unstoppable force BIG RESPECT 👊🇬🇧❤
Love their motto - "By strength and guile" Had seen an ancient motto "by strength , not stealth", that stealth now being seen as a plus by the modern army as the end result now trumps the journey to get there. Nobody cares if you were heroic or brave, they care about what you accomplished. On a side note, just read a book on the SBS and learned of the inter-unit rivalry between SBS and SAS,. it appears that the SAS reguard the SBS as inferior and the SBS equally think of the SAS as arrogant and self-important. I suppose no matter how you look at it, both groups are 'top of their game' though each differs a bit in their expertise. I served in a British infantry unit and remember the regimental rivalries - serious at the time, but kind of funny now that I look back on it.
To all the bloodthirsty.....Yeah, I get it.....been there.....What you need to understand is that to be "the good guys", means control of the trigger...an additional risk to yourself by considering what's right and wrong....this is a gift of honor that a warrior gives to himself, his enemy, his friends, and the higher ideals he serves.....We're the good guys.....Well done, lads.
Why take back a ship that was only carrying our flag for tax reasons? This ship was in our waters, therefore we're gonna react to any threat in our borders.
@@cheekboy7247 Please enlighten me. You seem to know when SF response is required. You cannot compare the above situation to that of the Iranian seizure. The crew of the Italian ship was in immient danger, the crew of Stena Impero were not in any danger, they were looked after and diplomatic relations between Iran and Britian were ongoing regarding the ship we seized from them. Stena Impero was also moved into Iranian waters, infact was moved off the coast of one of their heavily guarded naval bases. The risks were higher, as well as the stakes. Special Forces response is of last resort, when all else fails & the potential that hostages might be killed, or already are being killed. Sometimes common sense is all that is needed. I am sure SBS & SAS teams were on standby in Dubai, if the situation had taken a turn for the worse, but it was unlikely.

Like others didnt? I mean GIGN or GSG9 in Mogadischu
@@unitforce7417 Quite rightly said. Sometimes the rep is so great that the just-as-tenacious training of the other SF of the world gets overlooked.
That said...the GSG9 was trained by the SAS in the formation phases. At Mogadischu, two SAS men led the assault by breaching the aircraft entryway (they were deemed specialists, and the German govt chose to take all measures for the safety of the hostages - on its own a great credit to the political process then in place).
I believe the Canadians have greatly accredited SF units too...not to mention the US SEALs, Green Berets, etc etc.
They recaptured/resecured that ship in LESS TIME than it took me to watch this video lmao
That's got to be your worst nightmare knowing the SAS/SBS are coming for you lol...these guys don't mess about
Just wanna say, this channel is such a testament to what our special forces do knowing they are shrouded in secrecey. The best on the planet......FACT!
@soflo23 Well it's his opinion, he doesn't need to prove it.
I don't remember hearing about this event at all. I never knew modern day pirates became a threat this close to mainland Europe.
Not sure what they were thinking sailing straight into the lion's den.
Ikr, 2018 wasn't that long ago and I don't remember seeing this in the news
They probably wanted to be arrested in British territory.
Than they serve a short jail time and after that life in England on benefits
That’s why it wasn’t news
Probably trying to sign on and get council house they got it all wrong
Not exactly a 'threat' though, was it? More of an inconvenience.
Guess the 7 stowaways on the ‘Nave Andromeda’ didn’t learn from this haha.
Thank god we have our warrior angels the SAS , SBS and others we don't hear about
Thank you from a civilian
FAITH in UK! 🇬🇧
The Para Pathfinders are interesting guys to follow as well.
Oh we hear about them, all the time.
There's a recon unit, srrs I think, Intel 14(northern Ireland), dnt know if they've disbanded or superceded.
Great job guys thanks for your courage and your professionality .🔝 A greeting to the English special forces🇬🇧.🇬🇷
You mean British!...not just English but Welsh Scottish and Irish men in the SAS...and SBS..

Outstanding,nobody else in the world can lay claim to be better than British Special Forces.!!
Almost the exact same thing happened this week. Oil tanker was seized 5 minutes off of Poole. SBS responded within 9 minutes. No casualties, just some awful pirates in custody. Can’t wait for the eventual episode on the incident.
Great upload mate, we appreciate it very much thank you. Love from Britains forces 🇬🇧
Me(a yank): yep the British still have the best special forces in the world
the reason is because traditionally we have only ever had a small regular military, so we have had to focus more on quality than quantity. because the US has such a massive military budget and a huge army it isn't as necessary for them to be as specialised. they can simply overwhelm with force and superior equipment. but the british have to find some way of multiplying force so the emphasis has had to be on quality. that said the US special forces and british special forces do a lot of training together and share intelligence and methods etc.
UKSF the best no questions or doubt whatsoever
No doubt about it
*SASR* hehe
Not disagreeing, but really any sf team could’ve done that
That’s why the elite Irish army rangers train with sas and seals
@@rob03tt46 alot SF train with SAS or use them as a role model
All the stories I've heard about our Special Forces make me feel incredibly safe. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world.
Have you heard of America ? They can wipe out any nation at there choosing and would take multiple superpowers to stop them.
@@ToxicMrSmith Sure they could, but if they tried they'd receive a few nukes for their trouble, so they won't.
We're a valuable asset to the US, they'd rather have us as allies.
@@_Raven_ just saying that when it comes to ultimate safety and power it's the us everyday. And I doubt anyone is going to play nuke games with them either. Even Russia isn't that stupid as we've seen so far.
@@ToxicMrSmith Russia correctly takes the UK very seriously as a threat as well, as we've seen recently from their threat to nuke us. Maybe we can't steamroll Russia the way the US can, but ideally we won't have to. And if we do, America will be right there with us.
We could also factor in a lot of other aspects, but that's an entirely different debate
@@_Raven_ no one takes the UK seriously except for the fact they have the US as allies. And don't get me wrong I don't think people take Australia seriously either. Point is the only reason that the world isn't ruled by communist China is because of the usa. None of us could take them on without the yanks.
Who else is here after the very similar raid on a tanker off the Isle of Wight this evening?
The SBS boys went home with massive blue balls.
More likely they felt relief that no one, on either side, was hurt.
Looool!
Not every soldier is a bloodthirsy manic. You clearly never served.
Man oh man.. Could you actually imagine having 20 SBS, armed to the teeth, pumped up and ready go, coming for yo ass lol.. man oh man. Like seriously. Anyone who takes a ship or oil rig in UK waters is in trouble. Right now as I type this and as you read it.. They are waiting and raring to go all out action man styles!! Very proud of all UK forces :)
TH-cam's algorithm has had a win. Class channel dude
Only 5 minutes, it takes me that time to look for my keys before leaving my house! These guys don't mess about.
Incredibly fast response! Gotta love our special forces👍🇬🇧
When you expected to be welcomed with hot tea and buttered crumpets, but get the SBS instead.
Im American, but man, the SAS is so good
SBS, bud. The SAS just sent their boat troop, which works hand in hand with the SBS.
@@lisk0_ Yea but the SAS is really good as well
1:32 when your dog is more badass than 4 hijackers.
I wouldn't fuck with the dog
Outstanding operation by the SBS and the helicopter pilots.
Big up to the royal navy pilots. Best in the world and will drop you anywhere
SBS are incredible and so underrated.
Good on y'all! Outstanding job by the SBS (coming from an appreciative American).
🇺🇲🇬🇧. These colours don't run mate.. 👍👍
Not surprising that the wannabe hijackers gave up, immediately on sight of the SBS team. I would imagine that the choice given was pretty stark.
The team should have shot the fuckers to send a message. It used to be a tradition in SF where if you are deployed in a situation like that you kill the fucking lot. Now they look weak.
@@mikechedzoy4866 Nah. I don't think that any reasonable person thinks that UKSF are "weak". The unreasonable ones are probably stupid enough to get themselves wiped some other way, before they get anywhere near a UK soldier.
@@ianmcsherry5254 I meant the country looks weak.
@Elliott Wright Yes actually. They don't take prisoners. The IRA knew that.
All we should be saying is thank you and we are proud of what you do
Thank god we have men willing to do this most important job.

Good job LfE. I suppose they're already on the council waiting list pending trial?
Of course while those SBS guys in a few years won't have anywhere to live?
@@H4CK61 Sadly yes. If they're so fucked up by PTSD that they end up single and on the streets.

Another well-executed success from our troops. Narration has a great tone and felt very fitting aswell, nice job!
Thanks for vlogs on special ops, never heard about this mission. Kudos to SBS
My uncle was 845 NAS. Commando Helicopter Force. Flew SAS and SBS troopers around Iraq in gulf 1
So your claim to fame is you know someone. Great job.
Hardly silent when you reach objective on a Merlin 😂
Thanks guys. We’d certainly be up shit creak without you.
These guys are doing a job, of which they are very good at not looking for medals or congratuations or being told how good they are, they do it becouce they are trainned to do it and it needed doing god bless these guys. Keep up fellers.
Very well done series of videos. Short & sweet. Stay healthy friends.🇺🇸🇬🇧
I remember this I could see this, this was like 10 minutes away from me. When the ship docked after the incident I could see it from my work which I was on the other side of the river.
Brilliant job lads 👍🏻
As being British, we just do it quick no dramas all over. Back in time for beacon and eggs with a cuppa tea.
And the hijackers lived happily ever after in the UK. The End.
No, they were convicted, jailed and then deported.
Wouldn't that infringe their human rights?
I live down the road from the SBS camp in Poole, always seeing them train around Hamworthy and surrounding seas, amazing!
The hijackers didnt have any hostages for leverage either. I believe the crew along with the captain locked themselves in a room. Hard to negotiate when you've got nothing to negotiate with , haha. Glad to hear the SBS getting some much deserved recognition.
Shout out to the Brits from Canada 🤘
Probably the best special forces in the world
Not probably....definitely!
Oh, to be a fly on the wall when the boys from Hereford were told to stand down 'cos the SBS is gonna do it........
Be like ho fiddle sticks the boat boys going in Flipping hec
They would have known in advance that the shaky boat service would be assaulting the target being water borne no drama the lads from H are the go to firm when it’s a land based job
Why
What's the issue with the sbs doing this? 22 reg have one boat troop but aren't as readily to deploy on maritime counter terrorism.
SAS would have stood down with no dramas it’s a maritime issue, you would have had QRF wanting in the wings ready to engage if called upon.
Outstanding effort 🔵🔴🔵
Show of Force by SBS = we give up
This is just like the *Operations Room* . Good Content!
My grandfather was a 75,000 tonne single-hulled freighter in 1956 and would have loved to have seen this video.
And what vessel are you?
I've snorted lines longer than what that took to gain control, you wouldn't want to be the 1 these boys are coming for!! Trained killers trained professionals and I reckon absolute gentlemen to talk to in public not knowing who they are or was or what they do or did...SAS unstoppable force BIG RESPECT 👊🇬🇧❤
Your videos are great! Great stories! Thank you for taking the time to make them.
Nice job to all involved that's why we need these special people. God bless all.
Not to victim blame, but you're telling me 29 sailors couldn't overpower 4 men who didn't even have guns?
Love their motto - "By strength and guile" Had seen an ancient motto "by strength , not stealth", that stealth now being seen as a plus by the modern army as the end result now trumps the journey to get there. Nobody cares if you were heroic or brave, they care about what you accomplished. On a side note, just read a book on the SBS and learned of the inter-unit rivalry between SBS and SAS,. it appears that the SAS reguard the SBS as inferior and the SBS equally think of the SAS as arrogant and self-important. I suppose no matter how you look at it, both groups are 'top of their game' though each differs a bit in their expertise. I served in a British infantry unit and remember the regimental rivalries - serious at the time, but kind of funny now that I look back on it.
Same in American military at times
To all the bloodthirsty.....Yeah, I get it.....been there.....What you need to understand is that to be "the good guys", means control of the trigger...an additional risk to yourself by considering what's right and wrong....this is a gift of honor that a warrior gives to himself, his enemy, his friends, and the higher ideals he serves.....We're the good guys.....Well done, lads.
the four men and al their families are now living happily in the UK
That's probably why they hijacked the ship in the first place so we can pay for their bed and board.
Its a ahame we didn't do the same when the Iranians seized our oil tanker!
we got it back and stole theirs....
Iranians had guns, these jokers had metal poles and their own shit.
@@ShanksNLMB did we?i didn't know that,glad to hear it,it was really pissing me off that we weren't doing anything about it!
Why take back a ship that was only carrying our flag for tax reasons? This ship was in our waters, therefore we're gonna react to any threat in our borders.
@@cheekboy7247 Please enlighten me. You seem to know when SF response is required. You cannot compare the above situation to that of the Iranian seizure.
The crew of the Italian ship was in immient danger, the crew of Stena Impero were not in any danger, they were looked after and diplomatic relations between Iran and Britian were ongoing regarding the ship we seized from them. Stena Impero was also moved into Iranian waters, infact was moved off the coast of one of their heavily guarded naval bases. The risks were higher, as well as the stakes.
Special Forces response is of last resort, when all else fails & the potential that hostages might be killed, or already are being killed. Sometimes common sense is all that is needed.
I am sure SBS & SAS teams were on standby in Dubai, if the situation had taken a turn for the worse, but it was unlikely.
I love the intro. Comms traffic + Loadout.
Something very similar has just happened today off the Isle of Wight.
