No the yanks think there special forces are the best lol 😂 navy seals.

WHAT CENTURY YOU BE LIVING IN?SPARTANS?SAS HAVE PERFECTED WARFARE TO A SCIENCENO MORE SENSELESS BEATING JUST A SILENT DEMISETRIPLE TAP OR A SILENT SALUTE

[@BigDaddy-yp4mi]

No single person or entity possesses ALL of the required information on all participant parties and organizations i.e. SAS, DELTA, etc. To REALLY simplify my argument: you have not a single shred of verifiable data to prove or disprove anything related to whatever metric you choose as "best." The 'best' publicly verified fighter jet in existence at this moment is the F-22 Raptor. It could lose to a crop-duster under rare circumstances. Respectfully, this statement is a false fallacy that cannot be verified because too many moving parts, shifting metrics and political attention and funding as well as downsizing in some countries. Seems like the Operator's will and determination is assured to win ANY encounter and that simply is not true. Logistics, politics, and other rarely debated boring stuff is why the present conflict ran totally contrary to EVERY prediction out there. Britain can punch well above it's weight class, but sheer numbers matter and all of that put together proves how "best" is different depending on the view from your location. Don't forget the Ghurkas as even the modern ones are regularly called terrifying and absolute masters in the art of killing humans according to the many, many Special Forces that go and train with the primary purpose being to being exposed to the Ghurka style of fighting because any insurgent faced after facing a Ghurka or Ghurkas will seem like a special needs individual playing make-believe war not realizing his death is moments away from the man who has been enlightened by the Ghurka. That's a summary of European country's head of special forces take on the Ghurka.

[@michaelmazur3336]

Very interesting video. However, at 11:55, after having been instructed on the absolute importance of silence and using hand-signals in the field, the soldier is using hand-signals while operating a GPS device that 'beeps' with every button push. I know it's just a demo, but ironic, no?

[@johnqpublic2718]

I mean, they also play static at 14:00 when operating that prc. What’s that tell ya?

[@metallisika2745]

I am also skeptical of a special forces unit using GPS to determine their location. Using any such devices would almost certainly risk detection by enemy SIGINT forces.

While watching SAS survival secrets with eddie and mac thry stated at no point would they be lighting fires as this could give away their positions, plus some survival equipment judt wouldn't be taken like the saw, why would they be cutting wood as it could say to the enemy we were here, fornthe reason they poo into a bag and take it with them so they can't be tracked.

[@talonkarade]

Where can I get this on dvd?

[@Lemurai]

They used to beat our assess when I went through JTAC school....Used to wonder how much ass kicking did I need just to go out behind enemy lines just to call in air strikes. Taught me a lot about myself though and my limits... It was fun but I'd never do it again.

[@BigDaddy-yp4mi]

Never served. Medically disqualified. Always wanted to career it and have stayed fascinated with it. I've always heard SERE and training in that vein can really suck and be fun as it gets adrenaline going like no other training can. All sum it in ways like you did but you took their 30-45 second summaries and put it in the most eloquent two sentences that COULD have been one. LOL, you shoulda been a writer man! " Taught me a lot about myself though and my limits... It was fun but I'd never do it again. "-----------That's a life's lessons quote if I ever heard one.

[@josiahfuqua4011]

Anyone else notice at 17:43 the writing on the peice that the enemy sets on the ground?

[@jelkel25]

Why are people getting bent out of shape about what is obviously a production made with very little money that shows mostly things regular infantry are taught, you don't think they'd be stupid enough to go into that much detail on film? For starters, the enemy wouldn't have seen a real SAS hide unless they stepped on it, there was one at the end of Stanley airport runway all the way through the Falklands war that was never spotted.

[@nacholibre1962]

+jelkel25 Agreed, but that doesn't change the fact that tis vid is shyte! Which begs the question, why bother? Why didn't Davies advise properly for the vid? It's not like the SOPs are state secrets. This vid makes the lads loom like twats! Utter dross and a waste if time IMO.

[@mrprototype438]

+Albert Head You do understand that the point of this video was not to teach SAS operational tactics, but to teach basic survival skills right? The plot dictated they needed to be captured so they set up, an all be it unrealistic, scenario where they were captured.

[@nacholibre1962]

Mr Prototype Not disputing that. Just saying the vid was utter dross!

[@mrprototype438]

Albert Head But the purpose of the vid is to teach survival techniques in the event of things going arse up, not SOP or OpSec. So the plot dictated that they had to get caught, it is not like they are going to show how to counter a proper OP. They are going to show it being countered through a situation that those operators would never get themselves into. Because that is good OpSec. Don't show a potential enemy a real way to counter your forces.

The vid was shyte. End of!

R, when they were taking cover behind and under the vehicles the GL would have easily rendered them ineffective. A radius of five meters is enough.

[@Horizon344]

Barry's not having an easy time, is he 😳

[@NoName-dn8nv]

Refrigerator box + me under it = stealth

[@martinsvendsen8983]

Sems odd not to use the 40mm to just kill all hostiles, instead the super tactic is to lose 2men...

[@martinsvendsen8983]

Pardon me, lose the fight :b

[@exnihilodub]

they're too close that's why

[@martinsvendsen8983]

If hit hits the ground before flying 18m the grenade (HEDP) will no explode and the blast radius is 15m, even if they were to close just aim a little bit higher to get the grenade to fly a little bit longer.

[@exnihilodub]

higher means farther (and off targets) since you can't adjust the propelling force on m203, also if it doesn't explode what's the purpose behind firing it when the hostiles are close?

Wow I am so confused, is this a documentary, a re-enacting, or a live exercise with real bullets?! Lol, clearly there's a set up, but I don't understand if these are actors or real SAS guys (who I'd think would be tougher/more discreet in reality)! And I don't see how this is a guide... but I do love the action scenes...

[@EEST-Militia]

absolutely they were not real SAS guys! how can you even think that ? these are re-enactors, with re-enactin scene, they dont disclose everything of course, just a few peeks, here and there.

[@HRHooChicken]

For me I've always assumed the hardest part about being a solider is after you've left the army and you no longer have that sort of close knit camaraderie, like at 14:10. You go from working in an elite unit responsible for countless lives and millions of £ of equipment to working security at ASDA.

[@sigmabushcraft2637]

True.... But there are PMCs that will hire (mercenary groups and private police).... Otherwise there is survival, bushcraft or going lone wolf into battles.

[@MAHAKALAXXXV]

considering beinf outnumbered and sas seriously wounded it would be unlikely they could save their men, it is best they allowed the wounded to die and escape but I do like the idea leave no men behind of the french foreign legion

[@synchc]

This isn't Metal Gear Solid mate. If you're in their back yard and have to kill somebody you've already failed at being stealthy and whether you're being noisy or not isn't the issue. They are coming for you. From anywhere. If you're going behind enemy lines for days or weeks at a time would you rather take a 1960s submachine gun shooting subsonic 9mm or an assault rifle with four or five times the practical range and a grenade launcher?

Hereford. Hertfordshire is a county. Hereford is in Herefordshire. Pronounced _herrer-fud_ for Mr DeNiro and the rest of our cousins. Not _hearford._ It's the town where the SAS were based and still, I believe, the regiment's spiritual home. Great scene, though. Great movie.

+Arcangel Gaming I find that a highly dubious statement. Don't suppose you can offer a source for that claim? I have been unable to find any reference to the Aus Multicam having LO properties in the thermal spectrum.

[@ArcangelGamingEntertainment]

Mr Prototype My mistake, they are invisible to infrared scanners. So basically you cant see them through night vision or the red infrared optic. Thermal imaging and the FLR optics will still detect the soldier.

[@mrprototype438]

***** Thermal Imaging is infrared. FLR/FLIR stands for Forward Looking InfraRed. Night vision on the other hand is usually just a light amplification device. Any CAM that is that is environmentally appropriate would be low observable (LO) to light amplification (night vision) devices, after all if it is LO in normal light, then it would be even more effective in low light situations, even after going through a low light amplification device. But I'm still gonna have to call BS on AusCam, or any other in-service CAM being invisible against any IR (infrared) sensors... Sorry.
