Close target reconnissance - SAS - Are You Tough Enough? - BBC action

[flyingelephants2k9]

when he said they could be in your back garden.was i the only one who looke dout my window?

[kebabmanenn]

Where's soap and price?

[Jowls16]

is it true that the role of close target reconaissance is compartmentalized to the 21st and 23rd SAS, and assigning the direct actions to the 22nd SAS? For that matter is eddie stone and the other intructers in the 22nd?

[Jowls16]

isn't close target recconaisance basically just four troops head in behind enemy lines, and stay in an OP for weeks without moving? this seems to be shorter in duration.

[QASIMALDIN76]

I'M AN AMERICAN,I KNOW THE S.A.S. ARE HIGHLY TRAINED KILLERS.THEY ARE VERY GOOD AT CLOSE TARGET RECON.ONE OF THE BEST SPECIAL FORCES IN THE WORLD.

[George22727]

SAS = the best

[THEMSASBOYZ]

STEALTH MODE ➪ OFF / [ON]

The S.A.S were born in the deserts of North Africa when we realised a 5 man squad could do more damage than a whole army, they drove jeeps onto German Airbases and blew the shit out of more planes than the R.A.F did in the air!, class dismissed!

[SilvahDot]

SAS stands for Special Air Service. What I don't get is why their name is so irrelevant to their tasks. Do they just get parachuted down from the air? Stealth and tacticool missions don't really connect to the air force..

[MrISniiPE]

@SilvahDot

Because they can be specially airdroped anywhere. PARA's Can't.

[DudeNumberOnePlus]

@SilvahDot Supposedly the name is decption from the times of WW2

[R0gue0ne]

why is the presenter whispering?

[whatwhat689]

Working Man's Hunting Show - Episode 1. check it out.

[JJTTOMMJJ]

i could be in yo bed u wont no about it!

[eminemsadventure]

I'm U.S., and went to Iraq, but SAS still pwns CIA

[bobshelpdesk]

Why are they wispering if they are they realy dont need to? its so hard to hear.

[KAZUSHIKIMINOUE]

The truth is I wouldn't want any country's specwar guys after me.

[commandopengi]

hahaha, they could be in your backyard and you wouldn't know about it

[superbert35]

haha,my grandma and her knitting girls could take out any sas unit.

[MadamKouassi]

The SBS is part of the Navy, basically they're like the British Navy SEALS. The SAS is the airbourne. Specializing in everything, but mainly CTR, hostage rescue and such the like.

[r8437046]

you talk absolute shit... the sas is mainly mainland and the sbs is waterbourne. they both share the same CT but in different areas. if hossies are taken on a ship the sbs go in, if hossies are taken in an embassy the sas go in so stfu

[di55illu5ioned]

@MadamKouassi Again Fail, the SBS is part of the Navy but under RMC, the only difference being that the rest of the R.M.C. is under the command of 3Commando Brigade whereas SBS comes under DSF(Directorate Special Forces),

Also, although the SAS is "Air Service", few of their insertions are today made by "air".

The SAS also has Boat Troops. They have exactly the same abilities as SBS other than number, so SBS would take on bigger jobs.(Although possibly aided by Boat Troop/s). ;-)

[MadamKouassi]

@di55illu5ioned Okay... RMC or Royal Marine Commandos, meaning part of the Navy. SBS are RMC's trained in SAS tactics aswell. SAS are known as the Special "Air Service" because alot of what they did involved destroying German aircraft in WW2. And you're right, most of their insertions are made on land or by boat. But they still use helos and parachute insertions.

And thanks for that... I'm fully aware of Boat Troop. And Air, Mountain and Mobility Troops. Now fuck off.

[di55illu5ioned]

@MadamKouassi Another FAIL Madam. The SAS are not known as SAS because they destroyed aircraft at all you poor deluded buffoon,

David Stirling had the original idea to parachute men miles behing enemy lines to gather intelligence and create mayhem. So,when formed there were less than 100 men, but GHQ decided to call them "L detachment Special Air Service" purely to give the enemy the idea that there was a much larger airborne force in the area.

Do pay attention.

[tomwilz14]

that was crap ....

[ColonelVenom88]

the power of stealth and surprise often overcomes raw power/strength i would pick it over power

[AnyDayKnow]

i Love it at 0:48 can imagne the amount of people who looked out there windows to check weather the SAS where there lol :)

[timsmith1234]

i did

[davidhoozel]

I love stealth.

[oogabooga8]

@davidhoozel

[TheBraderz67]

actually you can go into either the sbs or sas as long as you had airbourne training also you dont have to be in those elite units you can come from any regiment

[liam5scotstrooper]

wait wait wait the sbs dont do airborn training your getting confused between the boat troop in the sas and the sbs both completly different loads of people get confused with this. i had to this for my p.r.m.c test for the army.

[00000Dean00000]

@liam5scotstrooper SAS have a boat troop - the SBS do cary out airborne insertions. WRONG!!!

[liam5scotstrooper]

look your probebly some kid like 10 years old.

I had do learn all this for my p.r.m.c!

[00000Dean00000]

@liam5scotstrooper Try 8 years in throbber.

[bleushift]

@00000Dean00000

the dutch marines sbs also does airbourne operation aslong as their on coast

sbs can also para in at a beach remember

[FeltDownHard]

@bleushift netherlands or belgium cuz they both speak dutch you know :/

[00000Dean00000]

@liam5scotstrooper No you didn't son, we don't have pmrc's in the Army - that is the marines you tosspot. PRMC = "Potential Royal Marines Course.

Army equivilent is called selection (no not the SAS one).

SBS C and X squadrons are both believed to have Airborne specialties...

So in conclusion, you = a bone on. Me = pissed off that someone has lied to me. So Fuckoff.

[sunriseoversea123]

@00000Dean00000 heh, nice man, real smooth.

[bleushift]

@00000Dean00000

the 9th netherlands secial boat squadron in wartime falls under command of the 9 sbs of the uk

and there trained in airborne specialility so i geus the brittish sbs has to

[sammorgan1991]

a P.R.M.C is for the Navy not the Army

[v49624430]

You must be a citizen of the country to join the military. You cant just go in the recruiting office and say I want to sign up for the special forces you dumb asses!!!!

Join the British Military?..must be a British subject or have parents that are British subjects!!! same goes to all countries...

Do your research first before signing up for foreign military service...IDIOTS!!!!

[Mrgigagooga]

there's also many other requirements to join special forces, and training takes like 4 months longer than normal soldier. Expect Speznats have like few years of training!

[simonking195]

sounds like you have no clue what the fuck your talking about son.. haha

[liam5scotstrooper]

lol joning the spetznats isnt training its just them getting beaten up and hit by broken glass bottles

[casaferrari36]

aaa

[jre1693yahoo]

Could an American go to Britain at 18, join their army, and eventually the S.A.S.? If so, please tell me how many years for citizenship, how many in their army, and also if an American can go to college there. Thank you, serious answer please.

[ubahnbeats7]

yh you can do that. 4 years of citizenship. then you join the army (parachute regiment if you want to go into the SAS). then you have to do 3 years of service in the army to be able to do SAS selection.

[jre1693yahoo]

While waiting for the 4 years of citizenship, could I go to a university there? Then once I acquire citizenship join their military?

[Kev2C1983]

If those are serious plans...well...use your internet for something else than youtube. I'm sure the British forces have a website...like the US Army. ;)

[jre1693yahoo]

Haha thanks man, and trust me I'm looking. :]

[CHatPhilly]

I am sure you can go to a college in Britain.(I went to LSE).  I reckon US also has some sorts of special forces. Why don't you join them?

[1995martin]

if you join the british army you probably get automotic citizenship cause thats what happens in the usa and then after 3 years of service you can try for the sas

[bikasboy]

why dont you join the american speacial forces?

[jre1693yahoo]

I'm trying to keep my options open, plus I've always admired the S.A.S and Royal Marines.

[dexterccf2]

you cannot go from the marines to the  22nd marines go into the SBS (special boat service) if u want training pre SAS that will be beneficial join the parachute regiment because 58% of SAS were paras

[jre1693yahoo]

And the Paras are in their Army correct?

[dexterccf2]

yes parachute regiment

maroon berets

their is 1 para 2 para and 3 para in the regular army and 4 para is TA

[erikk123]

try joining your own army first, your chances joining SAS as a forgiener is slim to null, you admired them because you think they are cool or tough or what? armies doesn't differ, every special forces has it tough

[TheOctoman34]

well a lot of british special forces come from the commonwealth british empire)

like canada india englang and so on

[sgtginge241]

im going in the army in september i am gunna go for the sas if i get the chance

[TubeUser333]

Be patient though; your required to serve 3 years before having the opportunity to undertake selection.

[madzy006]

its 2 isnt it?

[TubeUser333]

Search youtube for:

SAS Survival Secrets (Episode 7/7 - Part 1/6)

at 03:17 they tell you it's three years.

You'll be wise to spend those years with the para regiment, though; tough guys!

[madzy006]

No way man, you need 2 years of experience at least.

[DavidF488]

i wanna join the SAS, but im in Australia so i need at least 5 years military experience first

[AA50CalAA]

take a  look at the SF Direct Recruitment Scheme.

[turtlemanplaystation]

pickledcans joining the SAS is not for excitment

u need to be dedicated

[turtlemanplaystation]

lol you guys can go on about how you are wishing to join the SAS etc etc but do any of you know the fitness requirements?? and there is only a 1/10 chance of getting through. i myself wanna join the police force

[foonsgoth]

actually there is only a 4% chance of passing selection i was declined.

[DJGMT11]

i have to agree with all the pom lads on this one. The SAS is ranked one of the world best army organisations. Sorry yanks but we are. im Australian and im wishing to join the army with the branch of special forces.. ever since reading about it and the experiences and challanges that you get with it. Im really excited about applying..

[pickledcans]

same here will u be joining the SASR? do you know where i can find the SASR educational and health requirments? i am also to going to apply. im also joining it to save others lives as well as looking for excitement.

[1dealsin]

the thing u people seem to forget is...

SBS. SAS...

ur forgetting mountain troop???

and mobility troop????

[joedickandharry]

i think SBS is an entirely diffrent regiment so the boat troop arnt SBS. SAS holds all 4 troops air, boat, mobility and mountain troops while SBS only has a boat "troop"

i think

[1dealsin]

Seriously I hate people who dont read a book. there all called sabre sqaudrons!

and there is 4. air troop boat troop mobility troop and mountain troop. they all fall under the name S.A.S.

[JJTTOMMJJ]

@DizTortion09 do u know what ignorant means stupid upside down prick

[Navyseals3]

S.A.S=Special Air Service

S.B.S=Special Boat Service

[FriedChickenAndCrime]

yeah, this is cool.

[DocHelter]

Go on google and write Peter Darman Comsubin so you will see who really is the best :-)

[stride630]

wow FISHGOMOO4321 are u surious usa got their freedom from england by fighting and of course usa won so last time i checked we beat u guys right?

im not talking down to the sas because they are truely the best in my opinion but the sas makes up the whole uk

[needbettername7]

in truth how would anyone know who is the best UK and US are on the same side. that goes for pretty much every special forces in the world. well maybe not 3rd world countriesbut that cant really be helped

[haykier11]

SAS Are Simply the Best

The Iranian Seige. Oman that was 300 Enemies Vs 9 SAS & the SAS won

[madmax8u]

No idea wankers stick to call of duty dickheads!!!!!!!!!!

[delta4000]

haha right on, if anyone of these guys ever heard bullets flying over their heads they would think the way they do. war is no cool, its fucken horrible

[BadBlueBoy213]

Yeah, and that's why thousands of people sign up every year? Ofcourse war is horrible, but we gotta be honest to ourselves.

[StoffeBuZ]

@delta4000 it wud be cool if they fighted against talibans, because taliban just hve shitty homemmade wepons but SAS got cool technology so they cant die. i wanna be sas so i can easy kill talibans and earn massive money

[ferrarithedude]

@StoffeBuZ they dont get paid that brilliantly?

and its their training .. not their weapons

jeez... kids these days

[StoffeBuZ]

@ferrarithedude me the kid? u too small to play cod to learn things

[Radion561]

@StoffeBuZ I hope your not being serious about the call of duty thing because if you are you sir are a fucking idiot. Call of duty is not even close to being realistic no matter what difficulty you play on.

[Mercoidcam]

@StoffeBuZ What the fucking fuck are you talking about? Are you trying to compare cod the most fucked up game of all time which has no realism whatsoever to real war? As ferrarithedude sais before its their training that makes them so good not their weapons. One SAS could take out a fully armed taliban soldier.Dont even think of joining the SAS, just sit at home and continue respawning, fighting with no tactics against people who are out allies in real life.

[Radion561]

@StoffeBuZ WOW really this aint no damn game kid. Technology dosent mean you cant die. That is the stupidist thing i ever heard.

[BOOMA107]

@StoffeBuZ You're the biggest Idiot I've ever seen. You have no idea what the SAS are really about, and quite obviously your only perception of the military is what very little information you get from Call of Duty.

[Curevicc]

@StoffeBuZ God you are stupid.

[madmax8u]

all of you wankers have no Idea, stick to call of duty dickheads

[8813DIMEVADER]

DELTA are the best! you cant volunteer for the delta force they hand select you from other special op teams! my sis served with the delta boys in iraq,korea,and was stationed with them at FORT BRAGG the sas are some bad ass mf's but i would put my money on DELTA anytime!

[sh1ft9]

u know that delta force was made after and based on the SAS right. But how bout we say they both the best and keep the peace, they both bad ass mofos, UK & USA FOREVER^^

[Boxrag]

During the Iranina Seige, DELTA could not find a way through the enemy defences. The Americans asked the British SAS for help, they came in and out no hostages harmed all enemies killed.

Your sister? You must be joking because the US Special Forces do not accept women.

[SupermarketsRevil]

this isnt real, this is basically a mock up selection test with civvies, nothing to do with the real thing

[FISHGOMOO4321]

Please, the SAS shit all over the USA.

SAS are the greatest regiment in the world. No questions asked.

[SupermarketsRevil]

Yes thats nice. I'm sure every country wants to think their Special Forces are the best. Too bad the sheer size and capacity of the US Military would negate any small advantage we might have in other areas.

My comment was that the title is deceiving because those ppl in this vid are civvies in a mock test, not Soldiers undergoing SAS selection

[FISHGOMOO4321]

Last time I checked, England once ruled the USA :>

[SupermarketsRevil]

Because the English settled the USA, the US was an english colony.  They certainly didnt have a significant military advantage (with regard to skill), and it was obviously not good for business to prolong the war between those to countries. We are all humans, stop trying to climb to the top of the fucking shit pile and do something useful

[SickGameVideos]

You ruled the colonies. The U.S.A. was a rebel country, so in other words, we were out of your grasp once we created our country, hence your comment makes absolutely no sense.

[Krewfull]

Your Wrong At That Dude, Simply im american and i hate to say this but the Irani's army is the largest. Every male at 18 must join the army or you're executed. They get 19,000 Men Each Day, S.A.S. Is A spec Ops force that takes care of Terrorists its bullshit saying that SAS is the best or USA is the best WERE FREKIN ALLIES BYTCH!

[snipers2theEND]

wear brothers in arms

[SickGameVideos]

Do you know what you're talking about?

China has the largest military in the world, America is second, and Iran is ninth. Get your facts before you admit stupid false statements.

[Alfons92]

You are right , but the Expenses spend on the Military is ruled by US (with a fucking horselenght) I'm not entire sure but I think they are spending 30% of the entire worlds military expenses.

[Intoxiqated]

Actually U.S.M.C Special Forces and Airbourne are close to as trained (SAS might be a little better) but they do not shit all over the USMC.

[BADproduction11611]

Maybe the Delta force or navy seals are close to their training but not the Marines and Airborne

[19devildoc77]

You are all fucking pathetic bickering about which country is better and I bet 90% of you have never worn the boots of your nations military ever before. And for the ones who have served and are arguing, you're the sorriest fools on here because obviously you never worked with any other services or nations before, which meant you're job required filling out forms of paper to make sure the real warfighters got paid on time. Get over it. How fucking weak.

[ballantrae101]

it's called "internet tough guy syndrome"

[bodyboystance2]

@19devildoc77 did you ?

after yor channel you didnt!!

[dimebagdarrelabbot]

@19devildoc77

parole sante amico, parole sante...

[ALECL93]

@19devildoc77 I Agree mate, all the comments i have seen are wrong in one way or another. mostly posted by 10 year olds i bet.

[sarkoth1]

@19devildoc77 hey i ve got a question for you. are SAS units waring dr.martens boots or what?

[jonaswadil]

@sarkoth1 They choose their owne boots... There are allways standard equipment, but almost every modern army, troops are allowed to spend their owne money on special equipment.. An example, in denmark we done have the m203 grenade launcher (of course they have'em in the special forces) for regular troops, but the individuel soldier can purchace it for his gun, if he isn't issued with a support weapon..

[SuperDudeNotMan]

Hence the reason we don't fight much, because our army is TINY compared to other countries. So stop comparing australia with everything we are way SMALLER compared to britian, America ETC. And you should exspect more from something larger than australia.

[sh1ft9]

smaller than britains army? not so sure cause thats gotta be hard. oh well rock on ^^ we both kick ass

[zone275]

yeh ur army is small but u also have the S.A.S so you got a good army

[JackolSAS]

SAS-SBS Royal Marines , Royal Marine Commando's

[SuperDudeNotMan]

Hmp, remember when japan attacked australia, we didn't sit on our ass' then. IF we did sit back then australia would most likely be in japans control. But since we don't have a HUGE army like america, we had to wait for them to come help us, WHILST they were getting attacked at pearl harbor.....nice bunch of people they are.

[tomlinson94]

British sas are best

[SuperDudeNotMan]

Never seen a group of people fighting about whos country/SAS teams are better.......pathetic

[Wilmott1992]

Good comment

[dimmo200]

im an aussie, but i gotta say our armies do pretty much nothing. but by saying that at least we arent evil like america

[majorromero]

dude shut up your ignorant the american arent all evil they do what there told and their job right and proffesionaly

[valenkiel]

why does everyone on this site act like british SAS/aussie SAS/delta force/GIGN/JTF2 and all the rest are sports teams? fact is, they all train constantly, they're all made up of some of the best soldiers on the planet, and they'd all kick your asses

[TheChiefEngineer]

lol hear those noises they were making??

[Hellfire2120]

so... in other words they failed? they got in, tried to plant a camera, it didn't work, so they just left?

[INCHICORE1916]

What about the CTR in Belfast when 2 of your armed corporals were attacked by an unarmed Republican gang and shot dead by your own guns. Get some real action into this video. IRA = Undefeated Army.

[paulrangers1690]

Come on the BRITISH SAS second to nobody!!!!!!!!!

[great0paladin]

right on! hurah!

[xwestsdeaznx]

i'd have to agree also, the SAS is amazing

[KurtisHarry12]

MinnowBelcher S.A.S. Are undercover you have to be top to get selected for that so if your in there your a lucky bastard most of the times you just have to be really good.

[wowaenur]

these people are just civvies doing the tv show for fun..... however i know someone that was on here and got into last couple of hopefulls and believe me they are still very super fit people!

[jasonfish07]

aussie SAS are the best in the world WHO DARES WINS!!!!!

[leton091]

you do realise that aussie and british SAS do exactly the same training lol!who dares wins is oOUR moto(SAS being U>K aussies included)

[jasonfish07]

Yes i certainly DO realise. JTF pffft!

[MinnowBelcher]

We Dare, you fucking pussy.

[britishpride09]

haha the aussie SAS are a joke they are just a spin off of the British SAS dickhead the SAS came from the British army from the regiment caIIed the desert rats in ww2 in Africa....your pathetic army stands in ore of the mighty British army

[jasonfish07]

So you had a read of some books did ya mate? Your taunts make you sound realy smart so keep going with that it must be working out for you well. Read some more books & talk to people who know. The Aussie SAS have one of the best reps of all special forces. My hat comes off the Brits & they have good skills but to say we are pathetic is a totally unfounded remark. In ore? or do you mean AWE? I THINK NOT!!!!!

[penndoget]

Im British and am very proud of the SAS and our role in WW2 up to the modern day, But, the Australian special air services is not a joke. Their roles in fighting, and the british SAS's roles in fighting along with any country who fights for similar ideals is not to be sneared at.

I cannot explain in 194 characters how far off you history is so i am going to suggest you go on wiki or go to your library and realise the severity of the faults in your historical argument.....

[britishpride09]

i just said that in the heat of the moment me and that guy are cooI now

[wideangle44]

yeah go fuck yourself the aussie SAS would fuck up the british SAS even thought the aussie 1 was made from the british and in ww1 ur pussy british "mighty army" stood back while the aussies fought dickhead

[britishpride09]

The British SAS are the best!!!!!!!!!!! and in ww1 it was a British general that turned the war around and won it for the allies and the British done the lions share of the work but the help from the Aussies and the french was very helpful and indeed the Americans help

[BassOverload]

shut the fuck up dude british sas would rip yur ass down. whos is the guys doing all the work in afghanistan and iraq. British and Americans the aussies just sit about and do fuck all.

[Narendos24]

Yeah sorry mate the British SAS are probably the best army in the world, being experts at infiltration, ammo conservation, teamwork, discipline and living quarters.

And sorry to take a dig at u wideangle44, but if your australian then you descend from the criminal scum we placed on that island :D Lol.

The Americans are desendants of the pussy british people (not all british people) who ran away because things got tough in the past. The british are just badass in every way :D

End Rant

[hoadmaback]

Dude, we were dying in our hundreds of thousands every week in France when you guys were getting it a Galipoli......

We've both had the same shit thrown at us....

[Vapje]

Without the British SAS you would not have an SAS. British SAS TRAIN THE AUSSIE SAS, ON A DAILY BASIS.

Now.....

Shut the FUCK up.

[jre1693yahoo]

Muaha well said.

[swinabc]

Dude Aussie Pissed them self everytime war brakes out and england has always been in every type of war where as Oz just sit on their asses watching the world blown themselfs up.

[hyperfilthered]

...why are they whispering?

[MinnowBelcher]

Well, they did there best. Send in the JTF next time.

[yamamato44]

I'm not sure you comment makes sense- these people are only SAS hopefulls.

[NishidoKa]

They're not even hopefuls. Even if they win the show they don't get into SAS selections. That's a whole different kettle of fish.

[MinnowBelcher]

They are not even hopefuls, they are tourists.

[yamamato44]

Well in any case I was just saying JTF is unrelated.

[MinnowBelcher]

You're right, the JTF is much better than the SAS.

[yamamato44]

Its possible, JTF training is based off of SAS, but the SAS has been under trial by fire for 50 year or so, and JTF hasn't proven themselves quite as well... yet.

[MinnowBelcher]

The JTF are doing a fantastic job in Afghanistan. As are the SAS I suppose.
