Australian S.A.S.R. & the Tizak operation | June 2010
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- In June 2010, an Australian Special Operations Task Group, composed of detachments from the Special Air Service Regiment (S.A.S.R.) and the 2 Commando Regiment, launched an operation into the Shah Wali Kot Valley, in Southern Afghanistan, to disrupt enemy activity in the region. In today's video I detail one aspect of that operation, which involved an air insertion into the village of Tizak by members of the Australian S.A.S.R. and saw the awarding of a Victoria Cross Medal.

I've met seals, raiders, Nightstalkers, green berets etc.. but God damn if the scariest motherfuckers I've ever met weren't those Aussie SAS dudes. I have respect for all special ops and all veterans, and much love for them all. But these guys, they are fucking terrifying. No remorse, no mercy, no second guessing. Pure warfighters.
AND WHO ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE BEN SMITH ACTUALLY WAS NOT PART OF THE AUSSIE S.A.S. THAT LONG HE ALSO WAS A PART OF 1 SQUADRON BRITISH S.A.S. WHO HIS TEAMATES HATED BECAUSE HE KILLED INNOCENT CIVILIANS FOR ABSOLUTELY 💯 NOTHING: THERE ARE EVEN PICTURES OF HIM TAKING WAR TROPHIE PHOTOS OF KILLING AN INNOCENT MAN AND DRINKING BEER OUT OF HIS PROSTHETIC LEG 🦵 AND GIGGLING ABOUT IT. SO, IF YOU WANT TO USE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN TO MAKE AN IDOL OF SOMEONE YO I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEN GO AHEAD. BUT YOU BETTER NO WHAT THE FACTS ARE BEFORE YOU START FLAPPING YOUR GUMS JACK.
HE EVEN WROTE LETTERS TO THE TEAMATES THAT, WERE GOING TO TELL ABOUT HIS WAR CRIMES AND, TOLD THEM HE WAS GOING TO KILL THEM. +++ HAD SOMEONE POST THEM FROM AN UNKNOWN MAILBOX AND WROTE THE LETTERS WITH RUBBER GLOVES. HE WAS ABSOLUTELY 💯 HUMILATED AT THE END BECAUSE HE STOOD TRIAL FOR THESE WAR CRIMES. AND LUKY FOR HIM HE KNEW AN EXTMLY WEALTHY BILLIONAIRE WHO HIRED A LAWYER FOR HIM AND GOT HIM OUT OF BEING LOCKED UP FOR LIFE IN JAIL.
HE WAS, KICKED OUT OF THE S.A.S.
IT TAKES MORE COURAGE SOMETIMES NOT TO KILL EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY YOU SEE, JUST TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL MISSION. INSTEAD OF WORKING WITH TRUE WARRIORS FOR HEAVENLY FATHER LORD ALMIGHTY!
WHO ARE NOT AFRAID OF UNARMED MEN AND WILL GO TO THE 2 WAY STEEL RANGE AND GET HURT TO NOT KILL INNOSENCE IF NEED BE. +++ .
It's nice to hear about the heroics of the Australian SF and their military in Afghanistan instead of us and America because anyone would think it was all about us but Australia and Canada fought incredibly well and are brave and determined to get the job done. Respect to Australia's military from you friend the United Kingdom. 🏴🇬🇧👍🇭🇲
Hey, least the fact they don't get mentioned gives them the benefit of not being treated as some evil invader and occupier who has only spent the past 19 years trying to do...something wrong in Afghanistan (it's always conveniently left out what evil deed we're doing in Afghanistan other than keeping the Taliban at bay so Afghans can be free.)
Don't forget the Kiwis, those bastards are as tough as nails and another brother in arms.
Yup so did the polish grom. Dutch SF etc all did the're parts.
lmao Ben Robert Smith
Polish SF US Army SF SEALs 75th Rangers and Sappers were all there and Sappers Lead The Way
It’s mind blowing to me that these top tier SF units are so efficient that they can kill or capture massive numbers of hostile soldiers, while suffering no KIA. They’re just that good at what they do.
if you have ever met them, they are just different humans. They can seem so normal, but they will get up at 5am after a night on the piss and run up a steep hill for fun. they are wired differently. driven and determined.
@Sugarfoot 007 Who brings a perfectly good unarmed civilian to a war zone??? ....these groups move fast and continuous....to leave a man behind to watch a possible hostile is not on the cards...letting a possible hostile run free...is a quick way to warn the enemy and get all these men killed....what do you do????? It is a war zone after all? They did it...and all came home safe....now cry another tear and get over yourself. You were not there! :O
@Sugarfoot 007 Fuck off y0u grub!
Sugarfoot 007
Fuck you soy pussyboy
They weren't even unarmed civilians, they're just untrained religious zealots versus some of the most trained and well equipped soldiers to ever exist, so one hundred of them is not equivalent to one real soldier.
Lest we forget, Winston Churchill once said “We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.” These are top blokes and should be praised, not vilified .
I am way past the point of agreeing. If some POS chooses to join a terrorist group, or provide aid and comfort to them, they are just a target. Targets are to be serviced, as expeditiously as possible. Regardless of their religion or lack of religion.
@Michael McNamara enlighten me how he started world war II. he was not prime minister of England at the beginning of the war. Did he collude with Hitler and Stalin to bomb and invade Poland?
Michael McNamara Neville Chamberlain was British Prime Minister when Germany invaded Poland in 1939 starting WW2. Churchill was in the Parliamentary Opposition at the time and was not in government. Wake up sleepy.
They were very brave but misused in this circumstance
They went into Afghan for the rare earth minerals and to increase opium production, which the Taliban had reduced. SO you could say profits are high when rough men help us secure them.
Huge respect from Turkey. Brave soldiers as theirs ancestors.
Deniz Levent lest we forget
Takes one to know one, Johnny. Glad we're on the same side now 07
Good on you Deniz, we have a great respect for your soldiers as well.
Same respect brother
Much love my Turkish brother and respect for your comment ✌🏻 lest we forget 🇦🇺🇹🇷
Stoppage in situation like this, the worst possible moment and they pulled it off. Wow. Training...
I agree, but it makes me wonder about the weapons provided o these fine troops.
@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer might not the weapons fault. Could be ammo, magazine, user, or the weapon
John Rodrigues with modern semi autos, 999 times out of 1000, its the magazine
@TJ Murphy yep.
@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer yeah, especially considering both men had stoppages just moments after breach into the building. One is supposed to be rare enough but two within the first few rounds of each of their magazines!?!
I met this man a couple of times when he visited 6 RAR. He is a dead set legend. Duty First
Huge respect to Australia from your Greek brothers 🇬🇷❤🇦🇺 We all love you here
@Flown off Love from Athens
Australian SASR are among the toughest in the world, but when it comes to long rang recon they are regarded at the top of the tree. Modelled on the British SAS but trained in the harsher environment of Australia.
@TJ Murphy Contrary to popular belief, we have mountains with snow in Australia. We can replicate almost all terrain and climates at least once a year to train our troops.
It isn't a competition though lads, the British will always be our brothers
@@NetWarriorsFTW Yes sir! 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇺
My limited reading from ex SAS members would give the impression that tropical jungle is the harshest terrain in which to operate. My respect to all who wear the uniform.
AlienFirefox hypothermia is when you’re too cold. Hyperthermia is when you’re too hot.
Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog" As an Ex Aussie Solider, hats of the the SASR and Commando boys. They are small in numbers but fight like they are an Army on their own. I am proud of those lads, and proud to be Australian.
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer SASR wasn't formed until the 50s.
Respect for our Australian brothers 💪
Fucken sick cunts
Good on ya lad
Absolutely, the greatest war criminals there are, breaking the rules of engagement and killing innocent people without a care
except they didnt kill soldiers, just civilians, classic war criminals
respects to the afghan civilians who were mercilessly slaughtered
Outstanding bravery from our Australian brothers in arms.
Massively underrated producer, much respect! Getting better with every sitrep!
@LFE Did you serve mate? The way you acquire the base Intel, reconcile and recite it veraciously is impressive.
Coming from a rookie who only did 4 years in reserves, Duke of Lancaster's regiment 5th battalion, wish I had the balls to go full AD...
English accent but can't even pronounce lieutenant. Oz army pronunciation is the same as British. Lacks credibility. And Smith not Smifff.
Well done Aussies!! love from the USA!! Thanks for always having our backs!!
Don't mind him. We just don't know how to accept praise. 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇬🇧
I just found my new favorite channel on TH-cam, much respect to the SAS from America 🇺🇸
No special force operators are better than any others ,these men are a different breed of professionals who are intelligent and cunning able to complete high risk operations . All special forces need to be recognized because when the shit hits the fan I don’t care what country he’s from I trust him with my life. Godspeed to the Aussies 🇦🇺 and much respect from USA🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Basic soldiering done well = special forces
TheHypernaught can’t say that’s correct
I dunno, I probably wouldn't put my life in the hands of the guy that executes that kid in the recent video, that dude blows.
Ja frost a doubt we have any idea of what actually happened that day, we saw a clip of what was an entire mission.
@@tellah8037 there is no context to excuse it, we saw enough of it to know the kid wasn't a threat and that his death was wholly uneccessary.
I was in Tarin Kowt at this time on SOTF-SE Ripley. Aussie SF base Russell inside Camp Holland. Guys ate like kings. Lol. Lucky to go there for lunch few times.
Great warriors.
great war criminals too.
Super soldiers can not defeat untrained people who do not want a foreign army in their country

Very, very hard men. Highly trained and professional. I look at my soft hands and am in awe of them. Do not mess with these guys.
Australian SAS are amazing! Much respect.
Makes me even more proud to be a British Australian 🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧
kev french yep and that’s a BOOM right there mate......
You either an Australian or not Australian. We're not America so we don't do British Australian or African Australian. If you're an Australian citizen you're Australian that's all that's it..
french considering our troops get paid more recieve better training and have better rifles I'd say it's like getting promoted into the premier league.
@@jimiweetbix8926 pretty sure you dont have better training....britain is one of the hardest in the world...wouldn't say promotion based on the fact that the British army is probably better....respect to all Australian soldiers tho
@kev french Give the pom some credit. Going from the premier league to playing actual football, takes a lot of guts
In the end audacity, superior training and competence carried the day. Huge respect to the Aussie SAS.
Proud of our Australian men in uniform. They are such dedicated operators. God bless you and thank you for your service! Lest We Forget
Respect to Australia & all the allies with much appreciation for their service.. Jeremy from Texas
I had the great privilege of Meeting Cpl Smith one day. What a great humble man and a true hero......Australia and our people owe him and all our military a great debt for the sacrifices. From a former soldier.....lest we forget ❤️
I imagine they had to use special heavy duty helicopters to lift the operators and their massive balls. That was an amazing operation.
I was going to comment but your comment says it all. Aussies Diggers forever formidable even more so when outnumbered.
Right. Fuck knows how they don't need a chinook for each ballsack.
Long Tan.
American black hawk helicopters took them in, sufficient enough aha
Indeed they have massive ball they not only come from Australia but also is in the sasr deployed and lived to tell the tail
I’m Australian and just recently found out about these Australian special forced teams, etc, we need to honour our current generation fighters much more!! Our gov doesn’t speak a word of it
That's a huge body count for 0 KIA and 2 WIA over the entire operation between FE(A) and FE(B). Great work
Corporal Ben Robert smith went to my school! He gave a speech to us at an assembly after he received his V.C. Amazing to say I’ve shaken this man’s hand. a true fucking legend amongst Australians. also a staunch lad from what I remember, something like 6’6 and easily packing 120kg+, imagine a squadron of those coming at you.
Big targets 😂
@@hollowman2451 haha i guess
Cant believe this operation happened exactly 10 years ago, and now they've all pulled out of Afghanistan.
These are seriously tough and brave men and its thanks to courageous people like them the world is a better place!
Had the chance to meet few of the Australian S.A.S brothers and they are top notch warriors. #goarmy
If this was done by the Discovery or History channels, they would have stretched it out to 1 hour and added in over dramatic music, used amateurish re-enactments, spent half the time on the backstory and family of the operators (with interviews with their partners and kids thrown in), and overexaggerated the details with a bombastic and enthusiastic commentator, probably some has been actor. Kudos to Liveth for keeping this short and simple.
Not to mention they would be magically transformed into US soldiers.
Yes I always laugh at how the standard tv programs are padded with bloat to make them 1 hr. This is short and sweet
I had the Honor of meeting Corporal Ben Roberts Smith . I told him thank you for your service when I shook his hand he is a really nice man and I am 6 feet 2 tall and he towered above me as nice as he is I would never want to be on the wrong side of him. I thank all service men and women for their service.
I searched through this valley a couple of times a few months after this op, man it’s tough going in that terrain, those blokes fighting in that op are hard bastards.
Yeeees at last some SASR action!
Bravo and well done lads. Corporal Roberts-Smith wears the Victoria Cross for those who can't. Excellent operational outcome. Great video presentation as always.
Ben Roberts-Smith is a war criminal multiple serving and former sas have testified against him. He's a maniac
@@petermccombie4355 -Is that supposed to hurt?....it doesn't.
@@68bobba2 what ?
@@petermccombie4355 arsehole
Peter McCombie The presumption of innocence until proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt is the bedrock of Western justice. Western journalists would do well to not undermine it. There are however a small handful of other men in 3SQN SASR who are evidently guilty with one extra-judicial killing captured on an SASR Operator’s helmet cam in 2012 being shown on 4 Corners, available on TH-cam. It’s undeniable and should bring in to question an element of leadership within 3SQN. Soldier “A” for example was shown clearly losing the plot while on operations in some of the footage showing an unacceptable lack of fire discipline and failure to listen and cooperate with his team. During review of the footage of operations involving him he clearly should have been pulled off duty and undergone a psychological assessment back in barracks.
Well done mate, good run down on the operation and not well known. Australian actions around Tarin Kowt were outstanding and were the model for Special OPS in Afghanistan. When the handover happened to the Americans they couldn't believe the intelligence that had been gathered, how accurate it was and how comprehensive. The primary role of Aus Sf is long range reconnaissance. Good operations are based on accurate intelligence. Most countries have blokes who can kick down doors and pull the trigger but Aus Sf has always focused on the reconnaissance role. It pays off with element of surprise and accurate targeting and focuses heavily on hearts and minds, turning the local area into a nightmare for the taliban. A study of Australian operations in Vietnam and British commonwealth operations during the Malayan emergency should be more widely studied in military academies around the world.... because they were successful. Local areas were pacified and the locals ended up getting the picture and working for us. Painstaking, laborious, but successful. Both in Iraq and Afghanistan these lessons have not been learned, with predictable results.
Hey do you have any sources I could read about the handover process in Afghanistan? I've not found much to read or watch about it.
while the australian squads and platoons performed very well with small unit tactics in Vietnam, your overall assessment is just plain wrong.
" the operational strategy used by the Australian Army in Vietnam was not successful. Palazzo believes that like the Americans, Australian strategy was focused on seeking to engage the Communist forces in battle and ultimately failed as the Communists were generally able to evade Australian forces when conditions were not favourable. Moreover, the Australians did not devote sufficient resources to disrupting the logistical infrastructure which supported the Communist forces in Phước Tuy Province and popular support for the Communists remained strong. After 1 ATF was withdrawn in 1971 the insurgency in Phước Tuy rapidly expanded. Ultimately, despite maintaining a reputation for professionalism, the operations of the task force had little impact on the final outcome of the war
programs were often undertaken without reference to the local population and it was not until 1969 that villagers were involved in determining what projects would be undertaken and in their construction. Equally, ongoing staff and material support was usually not provided, while maintenance and sustainment was the responsibility of the provincial government which often lacked the capacity or the will to provide it, limiting the benefit provided to the local population. programs continued until 1 ATF's withdrawal in 1971, and although it may have succeeded in generating goodwill towards Australian forces, it largely failed to increase support for the South Vietnamese government in the province."
As for the comparison to the malayan emergency, their share few if any similarities.
In Vietnam the Viet Cong and the ARVN were ethnically and religiously the same. The VC had all of SE Asia in which to hide and the US could not separate the VC from the ordinary civilian population. The US also never had a workable political solution in view.
Malaya was very different. The enemy was mainly Chinese whereas the Malay or Bumiputras were 100% Malay nationals and 100% Muslim by religion. The British knew this and used it to isolate the CTS by moving the Malays into protected villages.
in Vietnam, in addition to the Vietcong, the millions strong NVA was directly involved in hostilities, operating SAMs, MiGs, artillery and tanks. Comparatively, The Malayan Communist Party had access to none of these things.
In total, the Vietnamese forces numbered over 2,000,000 men, including 170,000 Chinese troops positioned in North Vietnam as a tripwire force to discourage an American invasion.
The total number of Malayan Communist Party guerrillas came to 8,000 men.
The two wars were not remotely comparable.
In conclusion, you shouldn't compare a military's methodology when one side was faced with over 2,000,000 men armed and supplied with modern Soviet aircraft, armor, and SAM systems, and the other faced 8,000 guerillas almost completely isolated from outside support.
More men were killed in a single day in 1968 than in 12 years in Malaya.
SASR..does not rely on anybody else's intelligence..if someone is going to be in the firing line..they NEED to know what is going on ...accurately..
As and ex-soldier, I can tell you that these vids are some of the best on youtube. So informative. Thanks
Glenn Hynes too true mate
as an aussie tis always nice to see us doing great things
Fantastic to see some more recognition for 2 Commando. They don't get enough imho
Almost equal to SASR and run TAG East
@@WaveFlightSimulationsno one cares about TAG....😂😂😂
If you guys are interested in badass's Ben Robert-Smith had already been awarded the Medal for Gallantry 6 years earlier he is a mountain of a man standing at 6.6ft (2.02m)
Jesus 2 commando killed 180 insurgents without any losses.
That's a remarkable feat.
@Biliary Clinton you misread the info mate, it was a separate operation they ran and killed 180 blokes with no casualties.
Tisak killed 70 Taliban and 2 wounded.
2nd commando regiment is a Tier 1 Unit what do you expect
@Klemheist huh, tf you on about Commando is Tier 1 as well. They’re used more for action, while SASR are used at recon
@Klemheist lol what you on. SOCOMD calls both of them as Tier 1 operators
@Klemheist nope they are Tier 1 elements according to SOCOMD. Tier 2 would be 1st Commando Reserves and SOER
True legit Aussie Special forces warriors respect from USA strong allies in the War on terrorism
The Australian military proved their grit in WWII. If anything they have gotten better.
Mjölnir Captain Sparkle finger's if the U.S ever needs help, we’ll be there. I understand that you want our boys home. But if they want to fight (which they do) they will.
The SASR are among the best soldiers in the world, they love their job, let them do it.
You've had ours and we've had your back in every fight since the 4th of july 1918 at Hamel together we're unstoppable on any battlefield in the land and sea. 🇦🇺🇺🇸
@@Calais05 couldn't have put the reply to old mate better myself. People seem to forget more Americans died the Australians defending Australia against the Japanese in the battle of the coral sea. They proved they had our back around the same time Britain proved they didn't have a care in the world for us...
John Rodrigues and nam we was there 2
Aussie special forces are quiet achievers to say the least, just because of our small population doesn’t mean we don’t pack a fair amount of power. Quality over quantity.
Our war crimes punch above our weight! We kill and torture prisoners AND civilians!
@@phil2112 War is war shit happens if you’ve got any sort of brain power you’d know that tough calls have to be made, what if they let him go and he told the taliban that Aus sf is there? Their mission is over what if he wanted to go after then with a vest? And torture that’s of course going to happen in war information is important as fuck. Be grateful people are ready to defend you.
Brilliant, love the SASR and British 22SAS the world's best. Great video
Love chalk and cheese together as well?
Just a tip for when referring to British and Australian ranks such as Lieutenant, they aren't pronounced like the Americans (Loo-ten-ent), we pronounce it as Lef-ten-ent. Which would obviously make the Lieutenant Colonel pronounced like Lef-ten-ent Ker-nal. But none-the-less, still a good and accurate video. Well done.
As a kiwi It's easier to say lieutenant as loo ten ent. But both ways of saying it are correct.
Loo ten ent is for the Air Force and navy.
Lef ten it. Is for the army
@@falaramal3979 Yeah didn't realise that back then. I'm just used to Lef-ten-ant. I've been saying it like that for as long as I've heard about it really.
Excellent. You keep consistently delivering.
The boys from Campbell Barracks deserve nothing but the utmost respect and support from all Australians.
After all Ben Roberts Smith went through, taking incredible chances while showing outstanding courage, and getting the job done he's now a victim of that curse...the Australian tall poppy syndrome. The nutless military hierarchy in Oz, and selected journalists chasing media awards have attacked our brave boys with accusations on a variety of alleged crimes while doing the job that no one else would, or could do. His career post military ruined, defending himself on every front from the howling media jackals, this only goes to reinforce the usual disgusting treatment of ex service personel in this country by the defence force upon their retirement. The corollary to this is that the polititions of this country do for themselves very nicely and ignore the plight of damaged ex service personel. Stand strong like the big man you are Ben, you have plenty of working class people supporting you...and thank you for helping to keep us safe!
Bonza mate.
Excellent video as always - these Aussie troops are pretty hard core.
Nothing but respect for you guys. Proud to have served. Best forces in the world.
Absolutely brilliant troops...SAS and Commando forces alike!
I know one guy in UK SAS, but only see him once every 18 months if I'm lucky. I understand the shit that happens. Total respect guys.
The Taliban pissed themselves when they hear the Australians were joining the fight there, bless Australia from Canada 🇨🇦 🇦🇺
Jtf2 was there aswel everytime they shot a Taliban they would go up and say sorry eh 😂 jk
@bagshitass calm down mate, dont like a bit of banter?
Hachi Roku Look at his name mate, that's just a sad lad.
The Taliban have managed to defeat US, NATO, Australian, Canadians, Soviets and Every other country that have confroned them. It's a Fact. They will soon would take over Afghanistan again. They are superb warrior. And I Don't Agree with Taliban's Ideas and Policies.
@@xmanykl4400 i believe that the afghan's have beaten every nation that has tried to invade,
The last 300 odd years maybe more them not the taliban. I believe the taliban was first formally founded on the 10th October 1994. Correct me if I'm wrong
Magnificent soldiers. Ben Roberts-Smith, what a dude.
Had a privilege to be Paul Burns's classmate at USMC Command and Staff College in 2005-2006. Great officer and person.
I met him and his son in the US in the summer of 2017, great guy.
Great video. One thing that isn't covered is that the squadron that took part were usually trained in counter terrorism ops. So when the Taliban chose to use buildings as shelters, they turned over any advantage they had. They were facing SASR soldiers who were experts in building clearance.
All SAS operators are highly trained in counterrorism, along with large scale operations like marine CT
You make the best informative military content on youtube
U.S Delta Force trains periodically in Australia with the SASR, they have had a long standing exchange program. Regards from a Kiwi
Well done Aussie SAS world class operators!
Thanks for this video. I was deployed at the time in support, a great honour. Sadly now our military and government has seen fit to publicly accuse BRS of war crimes, no “alleged” attached to ANY reports on the story. This is absolutely disgusting and people need to know how our brave and highly professional operators can be thrown to the lions being judged by the media and as a result, the wider public.
I personally stand behind these guys and I’m proud to have been involved in these operations (in a much smaller way than these guys it must be said) and they deserve our support. Thanks again
Unfortunately most of accusations leveled against him have been backed up by eye witness accounts from other operators. If we lose our morals and values in the fight, then what are we fighting for?
You make the best special ops videos keep up the good work !
Been waiting for an SASR video. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
Keep these amazing videos coming I really can’t get enough of them! Respect, you are the best at making these type of videos.
There are great forces out there. The Anzacs and Gurkhas often get overlooked 🇺🇸💜🇦🇺🇳🇿🇳🇵
I greatly appreciate you making these videos. They are very entertaining. I believe these men need more recognition. Thanks again
Even among other forces like Delta, green berets, GIGN etc. the Australian SAS are considered the elite of the elite
I'm SO GLAD to found out your channel, like it was long time ago I go and see every video in a channel, I love it!!!
Keep it up the amazing job you're doing!
As usual, well produced and explained the action that got Ben Roberts-Smith the VC. I'm looking forward to the next video 👍
The Blackhawks were from C (Phantoms) Co 5-101st 101st Airborne division. They were UH60L, 3 of the 4 birds were hit by smallarms fire, chalk 1 was engaged by 6 RPG's. Chalk 3 had one round go through the underside between the Co pilots feet and into the nose. It was an honor to work with 1 and 2 Squadron ASASR.
Friends who served here who told me as a young private about this battle...you told it better 👏 thanks
Seemed like a pretty smooth operation, especially with no casualties.
Extraordinary! Many thanks and deepest respect for your service and commitment.
Good job LfE. My one thumbs up seems inadequate thanks.
Ozzy SAS...very humble operators with a single minded will to complete the mission assigned to them and i..for one...would very much not like to be what is in the way of mission completion!!
Good job boys, much love from the USA. 🇺🇸🇭🇲
In my life there's never been a higher compliment than " Well done Marine".
The last thing the enemy heard was: G'day how are ya.
More like
"How's it goin mate"
Goddamn Australian special forces are bad ass. Much respect to them

Goodluck mate 👍
This entire channel is successful because you talk about special forces with a British accent. Joking aside, how do I sent you video requests?
Another exceptional presentation. Thank you
Great video footage and narration, these guys are excellent at what they do. Keep up the videos Australians need to know what our guys are doing over there.
I was surprised too see these guys running such a huge variety of quality aftermarket American kit.
Nice segment and interesting timing. These are the same regiments featured in The Afghan Files and the Breteton Inquiry I guess.
Lest We Forget!
- proud Aussie, but one who takes the bad with the good and does not cherry pick from history
Well done fellas thanks for your awesome work over there and thanks for your service
Would you ever do a video of the battle that Aussie SASR Mark Donaldson earned the Victoria cross?
Yes and I believe ODD were involved as well.
If I'm remembering the right book / battle. That was one hell of a fight!
@@fuxzor The book is "Crossroads"
Great book. The battle is only a very small part of it and honestly not even the best part
Great soldiers the Aussies. Big respect .
The SRR are best at long range reconnaissance but the unit that is the best in the world is The SBS rated by every country in the world.
@@terrystokley2968 no that’s not true at all
The VC (Victoria Cross) is the equivalent to The U.S. Medal of Honor. Those are the Highest Awards both Countries have.
In Australia we have a Population a bit over 25 million (as of 2018) The U.S. had a Population of 329 Million. We have a small but well trained Cadre. Even the U.S.M.C outnumbered the whole ADF (Aussie Defence Force - Army, Navy & Air Force) by 2:1. My Son is a Vet. currently serving (nearly 10 yrs) in the Army. He even deployed with the Australian Federal Police to the Ukraine to look for bits of Australians lost when Malaysian Airways flight MH17 was shot down. They had to pull out after it became too dangerous dodging Small Arms, HMG & Mortar fire, falling around them as they searched.
Christ, we didn't hear anything about that.
As a humble civilian I'm always amazed at the bravery of these men. I wonder within the worlds forces which regiment is considered the best of the best? As I Brit I would say pound for pound it's the SAS, but what do I know😉
loxxxton poxxxton thats a stupid question
SBS, delta force, SAS, green berets, sasr/ 2nd commandos then seals in that order I'm pretty sure
@toad Considering those groups constantly train and work togther it shows a high level of ignorance and an obvious lack of military knowledge to try and rank them. Stick to fortnite lil boy.
