A Brit saying the SAS are the best. Yeeeeaaaah That's credible.
The SAS are the best special forces on Earth.
Just take a look at the Gulf War in 1991 when around 200 American Rangers were pinned down in mountains by the enemy until a FOUR man SAS unit came to their aid and sorted it. The enemy actually thought they were under attack by 100 men rather than four. One of the SAS team called in an air strike upon his own position. The weapon detonated just above him as he got right into the enemy without them even knowing. When it was all over, the SAS simply disappeared into the dust leaving the Yanks gobsmacked.
And then look at how effortlessly the SAS ended the Iranian Embassy Siege in London in 1980.
And four SAS personnel were honoured by President George W Bush for the daring rescue of a CIA man facing torture by Al Qaeda fanatics. The Americans weren't up to the job of rescuing him so they called for the SAS.
SAS: the best in the world
They were picked for the highrisk operation because of their success at snatching war criminals in the Balkans.
American Delta Force commandoes did not have enough battle experience for the mission behind enemy lines.
A British Army source said: 'The American was virtually a dead man already. He only had one chance and that was the SAS.'
The four-man squad plucked the agent from a heavily-armed house in the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar. He had been beaten and was about to be tortured for information.
The SAS men slid down ropes from a helicopter on to the roof of the house, threw in stun grenades then burst through windows.
Dozens of Al Qaeda fighters were killed or hurt in a fierce gun battle. The SAS suffered no casualties.
The Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters were taken by surprise. The SAS helicopter flew in low to avoid detection and the guards had no hint of the rescue until it was too late.
The source said: 'They were taken off-guard and when they did return fire they were disorientated and it was inaccurate.
'Three of the team laid down fire on the enemy in close quarter battle and killed most of them while the fourth located the prisoner and got him to safety.
'This was a do-or-die operation in the best traditions of the Regiment. There was no time or opportunity for sophisticated monitoring technology such as that used in the Iranian Embassy siege.'
He explained that U.S. military chiefs turned to the SAS for help because their own commandos were not capable of pulling off the raid. Before arriving in Afghanistan, U.S. Delta Force fighters had very little action under fire.
The British military source said: 'They are immensely grateful to the SAS presence and the rescue of their man from an unspeakable death.'
The four SAS heroes will each receive a Presidential Citation from Mr Bush, an award rarely made to non-Americans.
And if you don't need help from the USA why you bunch buying their drones?
I'm afraid that, in this day and age, armed forces around the world buy military equipment from each other. This is wuite normal and which is why half the Royal Canadian Navy is made up of former British ships and why the US Marine Corps is using Harrier Jump Jets.
You idiot piece of British lowlife the SAS is allied with the ISIS mercenary scum
Where's your evidence for that dubious assertion?
