iranian embassy seige pt2

In preparation for storming the building, the Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms (COBR) had various contacts including the Ministry of Transport and requested that aircraft taking off and landing from Heathrow Airport were told to reduce altitude and fly lower over the embassy and British Gas began noisy drilling in an adjoining street to provide noise cover as the SAS moved into position. Detailed architectural plans were obtained of the building, which were added to by the freed hostages and a detailed briefing from the caretaker (who revealed that the first two floors had bullet-proof glass installed, hence the use of explosive devices in the assault); plus a night time reconnaissance from their forward base at No.14 next door, which revealed a skylight in a top floor bathroom, and panoramic skylight on the second roof floor.

Prior to the attack the terrorists and hostages had been observed through fibre-optic probes that had been inserted through the shared wall of an adjoining building. Microphones were used to eavesdrop from the building next door. The raid had been rehearsed in a mock-up of the building in a nearby British Army barracks in central London.

The plan consisted of five four-man teams (the hostages were located on the second floor, separated with men at the front, women at the rear of the building) : * One team to the rear, entry via the first floor, entry from No.14's balcony - as seen by BBC cameras * One team through the second floor panoramic skylight to the stairwell, via abseiling * One team through the second floor front balcony, via abseilling * One team through the first floor door, clearing the basement * One team through the first floor door, clearing the first floor

who dares wins dont fuck with the SAS

[ALoveEternal]

imagine of they had helmet-cams back then.

two words: FUK YEA.

[ThePhantomSpector]

No, The SAS are from the United Kingdom moron ... if they were from Britain it would just be Wales, England and Scotland.

[NielsShoe]

9mm bullets are bigger and heavier than Ak-47 bullets thats why they are good for indoor killing not only does 9mm kill but it also hits them like a hammer so they cant shoot back and 9mm pistol ammo has far less recoil so full auto is usable unlike an AK.

@Leevancleff

No, they just came over from the adjacent building quietly.

@undead567 If you knew your balistics you whould understand that 9mm against unarmord targets is more effective than 7.62mm. And the AK is long, and not suited to CQB (not that its a bad gun). And what cover? The door flys open, your suddenly deaf AND blind and your best bet for cover is a wooden table or a sofa.

@undead567 Fire power isn't everything, this isn't fucking Call of Duty... theres tactics and other factors to be aware of, not just you and your AK-47 with grenade launcher or whatever.

[YouAreHereIAmNot]

@undead567 Yeah, I see what you mean. Standing at the other end of a corridor, an AK would far out range an mp5.

[Leevancleff]

howd they get onto the roof without the terrorists knowing?? Parachute from a plane or something??

[thaisimes]
