They were given wrong intelligence about the weather, type of terrain that's why they decided not to take vehicles like the other call signs who were in other locations trying to find the mobile scud launchers and fibre optic cables used for communications . They were also given the wrong codes for the radios ! ! They made the best choices on the info they received. They paid a high price, 3 of them died as a result and they deserve the upmost respect as do all the other soldiers.
The real People who carried this out most likely was not in anything like in the movie so quit bitching about what there hide site and stuff look like.....
2) "If their boys get a hold of us, we won't last 5 minutes"
If they shoot the kid and then get captured, the opposition won't think twice about brutally torturing and maiming them without even asking any questions.
@garden2010city The SAS for that mission were after a very old silent pistol but couldnt get it they dont use suppresors as they only change the sound in real life they are still loud but alter the sound so someone will think its something else. The SAS are renowned for not using anything that adds weight or length thats why you dont see them with scopes or suppressors. Cross bows would be silly vs an AK-47. THis is supposed to have taken place very far from any civilian area.
Asher interviewed iraqi people that were not allowed to talk like they wanted to around the same time another reporter interviewed people in Iraq about political matters and none of them could talk as they feared for their lives. Some locations and actions in the books would be altered by the Uk goverment . One thing is for sure though these men went missing and three died and many enemy wounded.
@Ragitsu i recently read a book called `close quarter battle` by a bloke who served in the paras/SAS and he said some the blokes smoked like troopers !
Over half of them do. The amount of fitness they do makes it pretty much irrelevant how much they smoke and drink, which is a lot. They also tend to be older than most soldiers, and that's irrelevant too. They're fit, but it's not fitness that makes them so effective. It's experience and training.
Starryian007@ according to mcnabs non-fiction books, sas members change and modify their names for personal security. Dont trust me though- thats just what i read :L
Lets be honest, they should have killed the boy- one death could have prevented the deaths of three family men and the capture and torture of four. Got to be cruel to be kind.
I think the BBC did a good job with really as they are a tv company. Sean Bean looks nothing like Andy McNab having met him a few times! Does amuse me that people think they know all about war because the have played games like COD. Games designed by programmers in an office! Crossbows! Good lord lol
In my experience, most spec ops forces would have let the boy go. I can think of 4 historical examples (2 Brit and 2 US). I was US, and also had some dealings with the SAS. I was involved in training. For one, crossbows are for the movies. Two, most operatives are family men, spiritual, and can understand context. Those who put the mission before the safety of innocents wouldn't make it past the first psychological tests or interviews (both psych and peer). Bean's statement sound right.
Not a bad film but certainly not true-to-life. From what I have read, it certainly didn't happen the way it is portrayed in this film. Even the characters have the wrong names.
I guess it is more about escapism (no pun intended) than fact.
@starryian007 Facts don't add up: "According to MacGown however, "incidents such as teeth extraction and burning with a heated spoon did not happen. It is inconceivable that any such incidents could have occurred without them being discussed or being physically obvious."] News footage of MacGown and Pring taken at the time of their release on 5 March, showed no evidence of any facial injuries and the members were described as 'in good shape' by a Red Cross representative" - Wikipadia
Scene in 04:41 is a joke .I do not believe that Special Forces in fear of being found by anyone ( including civilians ) would hesitate to kill that person . No offence to them they have no other choice behind enemy line. Why didnt have crossbows to eliminate enemies quietly . I think real story was that they were found by by "poor" Iraqi soldiers so they didnt want to look bad for public and they cooked up the story about child and "humanitarian reasons" . SAS is great fighting force anyway
@garden2010city if you read the book, you'll know that due to shortages they could not actually acquire suppressors for their weapons, so crossbows would most likely be impossible to get hold of anyway. I doubt special forces ever use crossbows tbh, just Call of Duty. They were faced with a choice of killing the child that found them (with a knife btw), or letting him go and taking the risk. Personally I don't think I could kill a child, whatever the circumstances.
@garden2010city Well, this sort of thing happened in Afghanistan a couple of years ago I believe. They choose to let the kid go, and he came back with a mob I think. Most of squad was killed, and 1 was given the medal of honour.
@lotrhalo You are looking at war crimes, to harm the child - for being compromised. "In 2001, Asher interviewed the Bedouin family that discovered the patrol. The family stated the patrol had been spotted by the driver of the bulldozer, not the young shepherd. Asher's investigation into the events, the terrain and position of the Iraqi Army did not support McNab's version of events, and excludes an attack by Iraqi soldiers and Armoured Personnel carriers." - Wikipedia
@Tippet76 its called a waddi, a dried lake bed or river bed, theres not much cover in the desert, other than that they make hides by diggin into the sand, and making walls with sand bags, but where they were inserted was mainly rock, so no digging. read the books, bravo two zero, and the one that got away.

What they told when debreifed was fake, a lie read the book the real bravo two zero A man who is looking for one o soldiers went backand talked to people who took part in the real thing there was no shepard boy or a apcs that came after them just 3 farmers with two aks and 1 old british rifle
Are you REALLY trying to tell the world that a squad of S.A.S. would run from armed farmers if their cover had already been blown and there was therefore no point in not eliminating them if they presented a threat?
grrrrrr if they had surpressed weapons they would have to cock the weapon after each shot if they are using sub sonic rounds with a 5.56mm weapon or any above sub sonic.
if they had silenced weapons...it wouldnt make a differance...cus the others would see who got shot anyway and goat boy grassed them up.... thats why they came after them!!!!!!......o look a man fell down with a bullet hole....wonder what that was.....lolzzz
The rifles they were using are US M16-M203s according to the novel for which this movie is based on the British Army's newly introduced SA-80 did not suit the then needs the SAS required for this operation. they do make silencers for M-16s but it adds extra weight to what they are already carrying.
hes the geordi guy that takes the long walk to the borber with the green sweets i think. he says he has a xrxi and the colour is green at the start anyway.
@alongthebluff I think as it was mention earlier their kit weren't really there kit it was from another Regiment or something. Plus it's like the desert...sound doesn't really matter...but I would prefer silenced weapon as well.
@phantomloita They wouldn't take silenced weapons - first of all because it was 1991, silenced weapons wern't all that great. Secondl'y they still wouldn't take them - the last thing you wanna lose in the open dessert is range on your weapons.
Can't understand why they did not have a muffled snipper rifle in this terrain, they could have saved a whole sack load of shit using it on the kid, OK I know thats not on but if it's the kid or compromising the unit!!
Because suppressed weapons have reduced accuracy. What a suppressor basically does is slow the bullet down. Besides, a good marksman can hit a target and be so well hidden the enemy can't find him...Most of the time anyway.
Hi. Thanks for your comments. I just thought that they would have been given suppressed hand guns knowing that the unit would be in terrain where it is very flat. The snipper rifles used in the 2nd world war are now obviously a bit old hat but they did a good job on picking off targets, still these guys had enough to carry as it was, personaly I would have lasted the first half mile!!!. Regards
@MrVazzzzz Oh!, poor devils sent out and dropped off with no tagbe working, the radio was not sync'd and no silenced weapon as they already had it out on loan.....all sounds a bit sad for the SAS doesn't it?. The guys do a good job but it seems as always the upper managment don't give a pip about the guys on the ground or lets say they are just another number.
sad or not, they have a job to do. from my own time in the marines, i know that if im told to do something, not having the perfect kit to do the job is not an excuse. They went out nearly as heavily armed as a 24 man platoon in the bootnecks.
the guy who owned the silenced weapon gave it to another team. it wasn't as though it was assigned to B20, it was a personal weapon. I can't say about the regiment, because i don't know, but the guys who look down on high for us do a fine job.
and another thing, the whole bravo 2 zero was a total cluster fuck from the minitue they decided not to take vehicles, like taking men like that, having to carry that much shit made them totally uneffective as a unit, and and whoever made this movie should go get a job at mc donalds cos they suck ass, an sas unti wouldnt be sitting therel like that talking shit with each other,
u know shit man. being an SAS is not like all shoot out like u see in hollywood movies.
they got to carry all those things so they could face any different kind of situations. missions like these could be unexpectedly longer than they anticipate.
uneffective my ass, they ARE SAS they are trained to do so.
they dont take vehicles because it would attract a looot od attention. this is not an "in and out within a minute" mission.
@Creedo77 mate you know jack shit. I have served for 8 years in the Light Infantry. What I like about this film is how accurately it pertrays "Squaddie humour" and in the "light" we do carry a shit load of weight.
Also, in the next video they use a basic light infantry charge which is a standard british infantry tactic. The commands they shout are proper British Army commands. This film as obviosly been made by someone with British Infantry frontline experience. (2RGJ c-coy) ex.
American Delta and SF guys my bro worked with in Iraq all were using black market AK74SUs because they were great for CQB and very durable and reliable. Fact. Where do you get your weapon expertise?
Id be hard pressed to work with a black market weapon as my rifle either way.Some guys do but most guys dont.Your brother may have misunderstood the deal or he was serving with a nation that otherwise used sticks and slingshots?
As far as I can tell delta had 416s for a while,but no longer...so what the US military thinks of next is up to anyones ideas.
My brother didn't misunderstand shit. He worked up close and personal with those guys in both Afghanistan and Iraq. They love the AKSU's, and they re-tool them off the black market. And he wasn't the only one who told me this--also know a Navy SEAL who said the same, though 416s were indeed the norm, and still are as far as I know. This was pre-416 (2002-2004). My bro was MI with 82nd AB supporting SF ops. L8R he was a private contractor, same capacity.
they should NOT have shot the kid it would have been an instant compromise plus if you turn up in somebody elses country and drop a local kid you not gonna last 5 mins if your captured theyd slot you like you slotted the local. they should have caught the kid then tied him up out of sight with lots of chocolate to keep him happy and moved on quickly.
Its not so much DNA, its whats in the shit. The diet of an iraqi sheppard is way different than that of a well fed british SAS commando. Yes, shit looks like all other shit, but there are chunks. You know what im talkin about. If youre crappin out the leftovers of a chicken fajita or beef stew MRE, helen keller would know westerners were out in the desert.
You're wrong and stuart556 is correct. Standard s.o.p for covert actions like this are if found you neutralise that person by ANY means tied up and gagged or just "disappeared". You have a very naive view towards combat to think they should just "hide" better!! Where the hell would you choose an O.P location in the desert near to the objective I wonder...........
then the book i read must be way different to urs, i read the 1 from chris ryan-the one that got away. interesting to c how bigga different there is between movie and books or even . have u seen the documentary version of this, its whole lot closer to the books, not as detail.
any way i rather book version. u almost can c what war or in that situation will do to the handfull of toughest man u can find on earth.
@Theriomalstrom Dude he made that comment a year ago. The fact that its there shows that some one shat there. Big f*cking deal. It could have been some sheperd.
@aidjon You're moronic - ness makes me LOL. Ok, some random terrorists "analysed" some shit, its not like they have records of the members of the SAS, they cant check on their ultra mega super computer on the Shit-list to see if it matches up.
@aidjon ARGH!!!! Have you ever taken a shit!? Do you realise that its just going to be shit? they dont just shit out the food as it went it!!!!! besides they carried it away . . .
its so any Iraqi patrol will not find their rubbish and start a search for the shitter. and why would u want to analyse shit for DNA? its a freaking war, millions of people are involved and ur gonna trace shit to one guy? dont think so
h8 2 nitpick, but the way he swings his M16 in the first few seconds from carrying handle is a tad unrealistic, ive only used a cadet GP and an LSW, but i know that u cant swing it like that unless is a rubber copy
love andy mcnab and his books but u think theyd be more on guard with a artillary battery up their arses got a RM interveiw tomorrow ... whew wish me luck

uneffective my ass, they ARE SAS they are trained to do so.
they dont take vehicles because it would attract a looot od attention. this is not an "in and out within a minute" mission.

@Creedo77 mate you know jack shit. I have served for 8 years in the Light Infantry. What I like about this film is how accurately it pertrays "Squaddie humour" and in the "light" we do carry a shit load of weight.
Also, in the next video they use a basic light infantry charge which is a standard british infantry tactic. The commands they shout are proper British Army commands. This film as obviosly been made by someone with British Infantry frontline experience. (2RGJ c-coy) ex.

theyre accurate, reliable, easy to use, lightweight and easy to attach M203

well in a vid dust blows up an M4 which has same internals but AKs dust means throw it in the bin

Huh?AK's can be used in the dessert no problemo compadre.

no they cant be broke by tanks but they jam like hell
THESBS53 2 years ago
So does the m16.Quite often lol
lundholm4 2 years ago
yeah but the AKS worse
THESBS53 2 years ago
Depends what kinda AK you use .
lundholm4 2 years ago
Kerbs is ok the Ak74 is sort of... its alright the AK74SU is bad and the draganov is shite

Dragunov is a sniper rifle,Ak 74 is a good weapan Ak74SU isnt bad.
lundholm4 2 years ago
American Delta and SF guys my bro worked with in Iraq all were using black market AK74SUs because they were great for CQB and very durable and reliable. Fact. Where do you get your weapon expertise?
stableshadow 2 years ago
im in the british cadets and im training for the royal marines and i get my experience from airsoft and blank drills
THESBS53 2 years ago
They are loud,other than that they are fine.
Id be hard pressed to work with a black market weapon as my rifle either way.Some guys do but most guys dont.Your brother may have misunderstood the deal or he was serving with a nation that otherwise used sticks and slingshots?
As far as I can tell delta had 416s for a while,but no longer...so what the US military thinks of next is up to anyones ideas.
liftwaffe 2 years ago
My brother didn't misunderstand shit. He worked up close and personal with those guys in both Afghanistan and Iraq. They love the AKSU's, and they re-tool them off the black market. And he wasn't the only one who told me this--also know a Navy SEAL who said the same, though 416s were indeed the norm, and still are as far as I know. This was pre-416 (2002-2004). My bro was MI with 82nd AB supporting SF ops. L8R he was a private contractor, same capacity.

You should read the Real Bravo Two Zero because he proves everything McNabb said was bullshit. They interviewed other team members and Iraqis.

they should NOT have shot the kid it would have been an instant compromise plus if you turn up in somebody elses country and drop a local kid you not gonna last 5 mins if your captured theyd slot you like you slotted the local. they should have caught the kid then tied him up out of sight with lots of chocolate to keep him happy and moved on quickly.

Its not so much DNA, its whats in the shit. The diet of an iraqi sheppard is way different than that of a well fed british SAS commando. Yes, shit looks like all other shit, but there are chunks. You know what im talkin about. If youre crappin out the leftovers of a chicken fajita or beef stew MRE, helen keller would know westerners were out in the desert.

stuart556 3 years ago 2
No they should not have because then the kid would be missed and people would come and look for him.
They should have in any fact hidden themselves better.

xbLiNd84x
You're wrong and stuart556 is correct. Standard s.o.p for covert actions like this are if found you neutralise that person by ANY means tied up and gagged or just "disappeared". You have a very naive view towards combat to think they should just "hide" better!! Where the hell would you choose an O.P location in the desert near to the objective I wonder...........
meadeETX125pe 3 years ago 2
The shots would have alerted the Iraqis nearby, that is established in the shot at 3.27. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Yes you can, hence the carry handle being there. Remember, you are a kid in the cadets, they are the SAS, they are going to be easily strong enough.
