From what I understand (and correct me if I'm wrong), the SEALS are equivalent to the British Royal Marines in skillset.

The SAS/SBS are closer to Delta Force, but US special forces is a tier system and each tier has a specialisation. The SAS doesn't they are the top of the tree and do everything each of those tiered US spec ops do. that could be jungle, mountains, deserts, you name it they train in it all. Also Delta was set up to be like the SAS with the SAS helping set up and train Delta in its inception. If the SAS were in the US tier system the SEALS would be below them.

Nobody is as good as the SAS and SBS (Special Boat Service), Delta Force formed as the American equivalent to the SAS, the Navy Seals formed as your equivalent to the SBS. Same goes for every European military's special forces units too, if the SAS and SBS never existed there would be no blueprint on how to form, organise, equip and train a tier 1 special forces unit.

To achieve forward flight in a helicopter, the plane of rotation of the rotor is tipped forward. (It should be understood that the helicopter's rotor mast does not tip but rather the individual rotor blades within the plane of rotation have their pitch angle varied.) This increases lift as the rotor is at the rear and decreases it in the direction of movement.

The bombs they used were called Lewis bombs, invented by another SAS legend Jock Lewis, coated in thick axle-grease so they would stick to any surface. Simon could've mentioned the battle of Mirbat Oman in 1972, 9 SAS troopers against 300 to 400 Dhofari rebels, or maybe the Dusit D2 siege in Nairobi 2018, were one off duty SAS trooper earned himself the nickname "Obi Wan Nairobi", and became a character in "Call of Duty, modern Warfare".

His men recommended him for the VC but he got nothing because " there wasn't another officer that witnessed the action" . Look up Paddy Maine in the SAS for a all action man.

The aircraft carrier the Argentinian's had was an ex-British carrier we sold them I'm not certain but from memory I think it was formerly HMS Colosus. As to why they invaded, part of the reason may have been we'd scrapped our last larger carrier back a few years earlier, HMS Ark Royal, so no longer had full blown naval interceptors (F4 Phantoms). There's a lengthy video on here somewhere where Eric Winkle Brown a famous test pilot etc is interviewed and he said he met the Falklands operation commander and the guy said if he'd had Ark Royal with longer ranged Phantoms it would have been over in two weeks to a month. As far as I know the Argentinian carrier was under repair when the invasion happened and we did everything we could to make sure it stayed that way. We won the Falklands but I think there's little doubt the navy wasn't properly equipped to fight at the time which is why we lost so many ships. No airborne early warning aircraft and not the right kind of ship defences at the time.

After the Belgrano, the Argentinian Navy kinda stayed away. They had a carrier, but they certainly didnt want to risk it. Without Naval support, they couldn't keep their airstrips for close air support, (they had Pucara`s which were good for the job). They had supply routes cut off fairly early on hence they could not reinforce well and the only real threat to the Royal Navy was the Super Etendard and the limited Exocets they had.

It was either the SAS and SBS that convinced the US to create their own special forces, I'm not sure which one but an American was stationed with them and upon his return explained what he saw to senior officer. The Americans were skeptical at first but provided the funding and stayed true to the British concept of special forces, it is meant to be small so that all efforts are tightly focused. Later the Americans announced Seal Team 6 but there weren't six teams, they wanted their enemies to think there was and intentionally allowed the teams number to be obtained. There were never six seal teams. They stayed very true the British concept that you stay small and put all your efforts in to those very, very few who are exceptional.

It was the SAS, and it was Lt Colonel Beckwith, he came back from training with the SAS to America and created Delta Force.

@@randomoldblokethat's not true. K detachment special air service was a phantom regiment set up by British intelligence to fool the Italians. When David Stirling asked to set up a small unit of parachute trained soldiers for behind enemy lines operations, they were designated L detachment special air service, to enhance the deception. All of a sudden this fake unit had actual soldiers running around the desert blowing stuff up. That was in 1941, so very much in ww2.

Watch the video on here about "Mills Marauders" the Royal Marines who were captured on South Georgia at the start! You'll see how effective the Marines were!

The US Navy SEALS modelled themselves on the S.A.S. after seeing what they did and how they did it. Like others I thoroughly recommend the BBC TV series SAS: Rogue Heroes. It is a Drama Documentary rather than a straight Documentary and damned good fun to watch. I believe that it is available in the US on Apple TV. 🙂

Argentina had a carrier ARA Veinticinco de Mayo but once the Belgrano was sunk, she made her way back to Monte Video, where she stayed for the duration. Probably for the best because there was a surprise waiting for her to celebrate her Nameday on the 25th May

I can remember watching TV and there was a newsflash showing the Iranian embassy seige ending. As a 10 year old I thought it was amazing and was the main reason I wanted to join the army.

You can compare Navy Seals with the SBS (Special Boat Service), but not with the SAS because of the very different roles they have. I'm not sure if the US Army has a comparable unit, Airborne Rangers would, for example, compare with the Parachute Regiment's Pathfinders

The US version of the SAS is Delta Force. It's debatable if the Seals can be considered genuine SF (apart from DEVGRU), whilst the Legion are definitely not SF, but elite infantry.

I recall the Iranian Embassy Siege and the SAS storming the building. In a sort of overture to its subsequent repellent history of abysmal stupidities when covering UK forces, the loathsome BBC with its customary hubris, actually continued to irresponsibly broadcast live coverage of the building's exterior while SAS men abseiled down onto a balcony while the operation was still in progress.

Had anyone asked the BBC to stop, they would have done. There was no need to stop filming or broadcasting. Due to the explosions, the terrorists knew the operation was happening. NONE of them were watching TV at that point. No one has ever complained about the BBC's coverage on that day. On the other hand, several British Tabloid journalists had to be removed from the Falklands for their own safety.
