- In February 2022, U.S. Special Operations Forces conducted a large-scale mission into North-West Syria. Supported by an array of aerial assets, the U.S. ground troops surrounded the target building and took out the leader of a notorious enemy group. This is the story of that operation...

I am super proud to announce the release of an eBook project I have been working on over the past few months!
This book is part one of a series that will cover the histories of every Division that was active in the British Army from September 1939 - January 1947. Part one covers the Armoured & Cavalry Divisions.
The histories in the book cover a Divisions full story, from its formation to disbandment, and everything in between, including movements, actions, planned moves, key dates, commanders etc. Also included is a full outline of a Divisions movement in the U.K. and in the post-war period, two topics that are often overlooked in the historiography of the British Army. For some of the Divisions, such as the 9th Armoured, 10th Armoured and the 1st Cavalry, this is the first time in over 80 years that their war chronicle is told in full.
If you are interested and would like to purchase a copy of the book, be sure to check out the link below:

I never heard of this happening before and the fact there is civilian footage of it is insane to me, really great video as always, great work!!!
It was only in the news for a day or two. I remember it because of the building collapse due to an explosion. There was very little information given at the time. This is the most I've heard about it since and including then.
Lol President Corn Pop!!
It happened in a neighborhood..imagine 5-10 helicopters flying around. 1000s of rounds being fired. Explosions. Any a helicopter crash. I'd pull a camera out and film bc they have a dismount team go around and pay money for videos of this.
theres more footage of the hawks leaving or going out there
Civvies don’t get to hear about it
Love the deltas kicking ass with rangers , I am British and respect our cousins across the pond massively, great warriors 👍
Americans are British Tax Evaders :D
@@PhilipFry. 😂😂😂that’s a good one
2nd batt?
@@PhilipFry. As an American that was funny as hell
@@PhilipFry. ITS ONLY THE 13 COLONIES' DWELLERS THAT OWE BACK TAX TO 1776 , NOT ALL AMERICANS , MOST OF THE STATES OF THE U.S.of A WERE NOT THEN INVENTED .
5:51 definitely an Apache firing its 30mm there.
If you heard that sounds once IRL, you will Never forget it.
DAPs can have the same 30mm mounted
@@spamheat4fun144 Yes but the flight profile did not match that of a DAP. The aircraft appeared to be flying level the entire time, hence why it had to be an Apache.
@@kamraam1464 first I’d have guessed it was DAP, but after reading your comment and rewatching I agree with it having been an Apache as well. The fixed cannon of DAP doesn’t fit the tilt of the helicopter seen in the footage.
Um, can't the weapons on the DAP tilt themselves downward?
@@derrickmiddleton6046 perhaps the later ones? Weren’t they fixed before?
man, the advantage afforded by the ability to operate at night/ low light conditions is just so significant
Yeah those guys who tried to drive up to reinforce the house just saw darkness & maybe could see the helicopter, the helo gunners had Thermal or night vision seeing everything
@@scotthill1600 So unfair just like Call of Duty lol the US Military has high technology to wipe out these Arabians just like that lol
@@deemoallday when you are fighting third world countries its to be expected
Thats why in our withdrawal from Afghanistan, the night vision goggles that we left behind are actually the most useful piece of equipment for the Taliban to utilize. They can get small arms and explosives from anywhere, but not top-tier night visions optics.
Not for much longer. Our enemies will get this technology.
Great video! It's cool when you actually have footage of the events as they unfolded.
Thanks
The 30mm cannon is terrifying at far distances, kind of sounds like a warthog but slower.
What mate? No it dosent
@@barlowmccarthy1295 agreed! As a former Apache avionics, armament and electronics specialist on them it sounds nothing like an A-10. And the thump, thump, thump of the rounds going down range resonates in your chest. What a bird. Miss working on them…….
The 30mm is the AC-130W gunship. It’s a 30mm bushmaster. It shoots 200 rounds per minute.
@@AllShallBeRevealed1776 the M230 chain gun on the Apache (625 rounds +\- 25 rounds/ min) and the MH-60L DAP is the same weapons system. Same caliber as the AC-130 but that’s where the similarities end.
It's the same round
Great additions of infograpics into the video 👏🏽👏🏽
Support and respect from Trinidad and Tobago special operations forces.
Absolutely amazing. Thx for the upload bro.
Should look into the NZSAS response to the intercontinental hotel siege in Kabul, 2011.
Goes to show you our top tier shooters never stop putting in work. Outstanding coverage guys! During OIF I’ll never forget the amount of precision CAS the Apache teams we had assigned to us in the 82nd 1st/504th could bring onto a target. Still blows my mind
Lol 82nd always has to come in and talk about themselves.
@@MM-qt8gz Hahaha I can’t even be mad about this comment it’s accurate AF. 😂
Recently I was able to do quite a bit of work at the location where these operators are stationed. An absolute honor to be able to work for them, you would absolutely not wanna be on the receiving end of any of the units that operate from that location if you knew how they rolled out.
Fuck them. Would love to see them in a fair fight against someone who has the same toys and infinite budget. Typical bullies same as cops rolling in 20+ deep with weapons and support to take down one guy.
High quality content as always. Thank you.
it seems like during every major US SOF raid atleast 1 blackhawk goes down :D
Dammit, beat me to it....i just said the same thing!
They're altered too heavily which results in stability issues.
@@pepperroni6252 That's definitely not the reason why.
@@kamraam1464 it is
That's because they want to keep making movies about it :')
Your videos are amazing!
Dude the way you said Delta Force made me get chills. 3:06
Did it turn you on? Do you always prefer men in uniforms!
Professional as always, jobs a good one...Happy days,
Your closest allies over the pond, UK 👌🏻💪🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸👍🏻
My salute to both the Army Delta Force and Army Rangers lead the way by any means necessary to find, fix and finish the terrorist threat in Syria against the ISIS terrorists, they also try to save some non combatants lives
Best of the best
My heart aches every time we hear of small children being caught in the crossfire, by all means do what you have to if you must with any adults but the innocence is innocence and that’s just something my conscious could not handle if I was boots on the ground. Gotta be hard for those boys.
The Apache's gun in a middle of a night saying goodnight.
Another great video!
I have a question. I was an Arabic translator with US Forces in Iraq. In the beginning of the video the individual is holding up a sign with a name written on it. The name reads, "Amir Muhamad Saeed Abd-Alrahman". Who was he?
Thanks Uncle Sam!
Love this channel
Quality people, using children as cover in a fire fight.
Says the report.
Russians AND Ukrainians do the same. Why do you think schools and hospitals are being targeted?
Ah, slaughter for the sake of ideology.
So human.

Couple Ak 47’s vs 6 aircraft and probably 30 dudes. Don’t know if either side can really call themselves super brave
Great video as always, I appreciated the inclusion of civilian footage. Can't imagine witnessing that.
Enjoyed that one!
Awesome

A power vacuum always finds someone. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the many instances in history of repeated coups resulting in repeated assassinations of the new government leader every other month or so.
The Kurds never get as much credit as they deserve, they were responsible for a multitude of HVT being taken out during the war against Daesh and even solomani
Thank u to the men who did this much Respect to them love are 🇺🇸 military the best stay safe
That first pic of him in the yellow looks like they had a hood on him and had him leaning his head against a wall then took it off to photograph him in the lights before his eyes adjusted.
kind reminds me of the first mission in the new cod campaign.
Almost like COD developers take inspiration from real life examples for their missions 🧐
@@brokenpotato438 CRAZY!
Man I was hoping that helicopter that was tasked to handle the enemies QRF had a m134
Great patches boys!
There were chinooks as well, and more video which showed the chinooks and hawks leaving/going.
Y ou are slightly proud that you can say that dudes whole name are you not , great video btw
Who

"I know I'm someone that the US would likely be pursuing, but I feel like going up on the roof and fooling around regularly, regardless.
What could possibly go wrong?"
Good to see Delta doing their shit. They were always the quiet and competent ones.
The question remains. What about the ones we never hear about
shrek from delta force said that in 2005 they would be raiding 20 houses in a single night.
@Content_enjoyer yes the ogre is literally in delta Force he did many interviews you could check them out
Do more Australian special operations
US Delta force/Air force/Kurds Vs rus wagner/assad forces/ iranian militias the 2018 Syria showdown video when?
Pretty sure that this was the US against ISIS.....who are enemies of Assad.
lol "showdown"
Nice
He knew they were coming and made sure he was prepared thats for sure
ISIS leaders be like: I see Delta I clock off with my kids
You can hear the chain guns from the apaches
What is with the bomb going off before they enter?
“Last night operating on my orders” 🤣
Various online news sites allege the supporting fighter jets were F-16s.
Can you please do a video on willie apiata or Charles upham, both vc winners
How great it is to be able to work without borders, without any jurisdiction and with no consequences. UN approved this
Exactly. United States - United Kingdom - China - Russia - European Union = Z.O.G.
When is Earth going to wake up?
Like when IS coordinated the murder of hundreds of Parisians? Is Paris in Syria? You moron
Hoorah!!
nice
What happens to the kids after these kind of raids? Always wonder about that
Well he wasn’t leader for long
Strange that ISIS always has so many high rank job openings. Maybe that’s how they convinced new recruits to join; lots of opportunities for promotions
The action was enough for that Gahzi
In the town of Atmeh, Idlib, Province.
How many times did a Blackhawk fail during an operation? Does this shit happen a lot?
Actually no, it happens infrequently. Remember, the Blackhawk in the raid in Pakistan didn’t suffer mechanical failure, its tail hit the top of the fence wall. The Blackhawk has an extremely long and successful record. But, what I’m surprised at is that they didn’t use the AV-22 Osprey, though the Army doesn’t fly those.
@@LonnieVScott Yeah, people shit on the Osprey, like helicopters in general aren't very risky to fly
@@LonnieVScott The Osprey isn't designed for quick insertion, possibly under enemy fire. It's simply too big and doesn't have door gunners. A fast rope operation would take much longer to do with an Osprey imo
@@kamraam1464 Thank you for that info. I thought it would be designed for fast insertion since the Marines use it.
@@JakubKas if the wings are moving faster then the aircraft itself, it's a dangerous craft 😂
Why don’t you tell the story of Syria Desert February 7, 2018
He made a video about it. I don’t know if TH-cam flagged it
It's unfortunate America has helped Kurds tremendously in Iraq and now works alongside them in Northern Syria but the moment Turkey decides to create their "defensive zone" they will be forced to abandon them
I think they call delta CAG but that’s another old name they change the names quite a bit
The unit also
I belive the changed the name to Army Compartmented Element (ACE) now
I was part of the qrf team on this operation
Stop.
American Black Hawks left behind are like a badge of honor
All the best to everyone
"Eeeny meeny miny mo, which of our Black Hawks will have to go."
You should see all the other lovely goodies we left for all the aloha snackbars in Kabul. $40,000 a pair quad nods for a Ramadan present sounds great with my tax dollars
@@tyronetrump1612 People don't usually get presents for Ramadan, but rather on the two Eids. One of which comes at the end of Ramadan.
Wow they got solar powered house 😮
Seems like we lose a black hawk per raid these days..
Well most blackhawks are around 40 years old now(started production in 1979). Around 10 years past the airframes best use date(most helicopters and airframes are good for 30 years). Thats with normal use, those helicopters have been getting run dirty for the past 20 years in GWOT the point and wear and tear seems to be that they're at the end of their service life.
Either the US will probably need a new batch soon or a new helicopter for 2030.
yanks got it right for a change. Well done.
I’m sure Biden had no clue this was even going on just signed the paperwork
He probably thought he was signing an autograph 😂
CAG apologists here wishing it was DEVGRU again who crashed the apache! Just to bash them..
Why the heck does an aircraft always go down when on a mission for a highest of the highest HVTs

What does a one legged man do on a roof for daily duties? He should have been cleaning his living room
I feel sorry for which ever person/people found the dead children 1st. I'd imagine that kind of mental image will stick with you for a long time. It's so sad that children of to get up caught up in this.
This is islam they are fighting, this is far from the most gruesome raid Delta has had to carry out. islamicists kill a lot of their own children.
But how did the Helicopter (presumably using Night vision or Thermal vision in the dark) knew that the "reinforcements" were combatants, and not local police forces coming to investigate the suspicious explosion and gunfire?
US SOF during operations usually create a cordion (either from the most advantageous position or from 1km+ away from TZ) and use bull horns(which can be heard from upwards of 2 miles away) saying it's a US operation and to not infere so locals know to stay away. These bull horns would have been used within minutes of the operators touching ground. The armed combatants would have then be spotted by either the cordion team, the SR team who would have deployed days beforehand to do recce work or the drones and surveillance planes. The US forces in the cordion team would of then given three warnings to not approach(through the bullhorn), upon the third warning an FAC would have radio'd to the helicopter who'd then get permission to fire from mission control.
Should also be noted that Atimah is deep inside territory controlled by Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (former Al-Nusra Front Al-Queda offshoot that pretends isn't connected to them). Considering they're the controlling faction it would have still been legal kills since local authorities would be affiliated with HTS making them insurgents in US books.
What is it with Blackhawks and failing at the most crucial of moments?
Really it’s because the failures at the ones that stand out. What we don’t read about are the hundreds of similar missions where multiple aircraft are flown without issue. Complex machines, even with the best maintenance in the world will still fail occasionally.
Blackhawks are major work horses.
Damn. I watch too many movies 🤣🤣

Is that footage from flight radar? 😂
Very similar circumstances to the bin Laden raid.
It was a great video until (6:45)
Wouldn’t buy a Blackhawk, me.
Is it just me or does it seem like US helicopters are constantly having some type of problems on almost all of these high profile missions…. We have some of the best technology in the world and we are still having issues with helicopters time after time.
Hey Al! Wassup baby?
mom wake up Liveth for Evermore posted
I swear, they always crash a blackhawk
Shit happens a lot of things come into play with those black hawks sometimes wind & sand and altitude things of that nature
That’s why they are trained to come up with other scenarios they can think of if something goes wrong they already have a plan what to do those guys are bad Ass they are trained to adapt to anything
Always a good day when I see one of your videos pop up in my notifications! You and the intel report are my favorite for sure. Keep up your outstanding work as these stories need to be told. With so many Americans talking about overthrowing the US Constitution and destroying the longest running secular democratic republic in history just because their candidate lost a free and fair election, people need to remember all the stories of our American heroes as well as heroes from various free democracies all over the world. We cannot let fascist authoritarian religious nationalist destroy the civilized world. Educated patriots need to stand firm and hold the line. I really hope that the stories you post help remind people what honor and character is.
Commie.
@@electrolytics And, there you go. You definitely helped illustrate my point. Education. Character. Honor. Some people just don’t have it and those people are the most likely ones trying to overthrow the constitution. And that’s why videos like the above are so important. People need to remember all those who have fought and died for the US Constitution so that this secular democratic republic for the people, by the people, is not toppled by modern day Brownshirts.
@@ttrestle It sounds like you need meds.
@@electrolytics I remember a time when it was considered crazy to want the US Constitution to be overthrown… I basically say that I don’t support Trump cultists committing a fascist insurrectionist coup d’état overthrowing the longest running secular democratic republic in history just because their candidate lost a free and fair election and your first thought is “he’s crazy and needs his meds!” Our country is so fucked… This is why a large military family like myself believe the crazies will most likely try a coup again. Always remember the patriots in every free, democratic, and sovereign nation. Warriors with honor and character should be honored. We will not allow the crazies to successfully overthrow the US Constitution. Too many warriors have fought and died to protect it.
I know it happens from time to time but i find the blackhawk breaking down and needing to be destroyed as pretty bad. I mean its an ageing fleet most the airframes are what? 30-35 years old at this point? You'd want the workshop guys to be picking over each airframe with a fine toothed comb at this point. I mean the forced ditching may have not had anything at all to do with the age of that airframe, but its at least a concern, especially with no immediate replacement in sight at the moment.
Cheers to those guys for a successful mission. I feel sad for the children involved in the religious fight of the uneducated. Long live the feds and let this be a lesson to use all, good triumphs evil no matter the price tag. Anybody have the cost analysis of the mission? Pricey?
Rangers lead the way.
delta is known as CAG now adays
Dont need a satellite to see that nose, good lord
Dudes nose is the new co-head of IS
this amazing to hear!! civilian video!! wow USA USA

How often does the us loose helicopters. The bin laden raid they lost one and again here. Is this common or just something has to go wrong for the big operation
