Special Ops: In the Heart of Combat | Somalia: Hostages at Sea

A retired couple sailing to Europe is taken hostage by Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden. The commandos' mission: to release the hostages.

[@BorisGreyhound]

As a sailor myself, this really was a amazing thing to watch, such professionalism with the Special Operators, Thanks for your service gentlemen.

[@HistoryWarfareNow123]

We're so glad that you enjoyed it!

[@Mongieboy]

Absolutely great programme. That 22km boat ride sounded like a true nightmare!! 😨 I've never heard of the Hubert commando team before but they sound like serious dudes. Highly trained. Done an excellent job. 👌🏼

[@alexandrelarsac9115]

Commando Hubert are the French equivalent of the SBS or ST6.

[@dkcorderoyximenez3382]

I am most impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the Commandos...the operational details are the things of legend... A+ to the producers of this film...it was thrilling to watch....!!!

[@The_ZeroLine]

Well done operation. That zodiac ride sounded like hell. Mr. Delanne is the ideal person to rescue. Competent and savvy. Calling Mr. Delanne “captain” was quite polite for the pirates. lol The pirates were so inept and terrified one might almost feel pity for them.

[@BahreNeGash]

I'm from Eritrea therefore NOT too far away from the sea that this piracy had taken place. It's sad to see innocent civilians being taken for hostages by armed pirates at the sea. Thank you for sharing the interesting story, rescuing the civilians from the kidnapers. The international community may have to collaborate with local governments in the region to stop the pirates from taking hostages at the sea. Congratulations for the successful rescue operation.

[@olowasegun6829]

these man have become pirates because multi national fisheries have fished their waters out, and they have no other way to sustain themselves

[@tjack49er]

There have been pirates in the area for hundreds of years. This is simply an excuse used to attempt justifying their actions

[@davidcollin1436]

Ridiculous garbage

[@williamsmith61999]

I'm a pure Nigerian my bro in case you ask, so please stop disgracing us nationwide with this kind of narrative. 🙏🏻

[@lillianagubuo6108]

Men you are really strong. This is scary....

[@leiag201]

Reminds me of an old Michael Cain movie from the seventies about pirates and kidnapping well to do boaters that stray too close to dangerous shore's. A must see

[@AwesomeAngryBiker]

Let me get this right, they've blurred out the identities of the hijackers to protect them

[@Kwise01]

But why protecting criminals

[@The_ZeroLine]

They do it to all people prosecuted in France. Not just pirates. Many other countries do it too. I don’t agree with it. Just saying they’re not getting any special treatment.

[@richardyoung871]

In this part of the video it's good that the couple didn't panic like in a situation like that and I have been those types of situations as I was taught working in the kitchen remain CALM,IN CONTROL,OF THE SITUATION,because some people will panic.and I remember years ago when I was Going home a guy put a gun to my head he took my wallet and money,the next day I called the cops and within a couple of minutes they came and I went to the precinct and looked at mug shots and I I'd the passenger and I pressed charges but they did thing to a lady and he shot her in the back but you have to understand that in that area there is a lot of money but you would not know it.because people don't brag about it very quiet and respectful of others

*damn they left their parachutes in the sea for the turtles to eat n die*

[@AlfredNcube]

The narration said no one was hurt..............Pirates were killed, they are also human, rogue yes but human. So rather say....Pirates killed, hostage saved, commandos safe

[@samalam98]

Wow, what unbelievable men!

[@HistoryWarfareNow123]

Truly!

Would be better to pay the damn 4M$ than risk the lives of men trying to save 2 people.

I doubt Canada would be so able to rescue a Canadian citizen in trouble like this. Maybe at one time but not anymore.

[@22mikemike]

Wouldn't they deploy JTF2?

[@cryptoethics1070]

Very difficult for a sniper on an inflatable to shoot a sentry on a sailboat in rough sea conditions, even at only 200m. Perhaps they used an early tracking rifle / scope, perhaps a very good sniper or perhaps a very lucky sniper.?

[@IvanRoi_]

They would not rely on luck for this. Training and skills

[@richardyoung871]

In this part of the video he talks about somali pirates but this United States Navy got involved and blew them out of the water but fired wanting shots 1st. Somalia is a very poor country because they were hijacking cargo ships,now countries use drones and they are equipped with missiles,and countries have infared lenses but you don't hear anything anymore just like 911.And it's been over 20 years now but that's the 2nd time after December, 7 1941pearl harbor where I am from Honolulu. But my family explained everything to me, parents and the fact that Japanese Americans were sent to camps that's when the 442 was formed Japanese fighting Japanese and my parents also explained that to me .

[@DulqarnaynBoss]

They are not pirates there are our somali coastguard that's what we call them Man think twice they are using our sea with no paying Tax and they are stealing our fish if we try to charge them we are pirates imaging if I go European sea I can't travel like they did I have to pay tax I have to contact them but our sea. Every body can use with no paying taxes and even they steal our fishes they can brainwash you but as a somali person we now what they do viva somali coastguards❤

I will be polite ….this whole video and every aspect of it sucked 😊

[@richardyoung871]

In this part of the video if I went into an area that is dangerous I will apply for either a pistol or a M-16,and I won't be intimidated as I fired 22 caliber, M-14,and the m-16 years ago when I was in the Army but that was 40 plus years ago even grenade training even if I feel that my life is threatened but in NYC there is a lot of crime and it's in the news most of it in the BROOKLYN or Bronx. And 2 weeks ago a guy from the Dominican Republic got busted with cocaine and a lot of money that he hid in the wall but NYPD and the FBI knew about it and it came came in through Florida and not Mexico which I find very unusual. But that's all cartel money and not the ITALIANS because they were busted years ago.
