AIRBORNE! British Paras 1969 to 1982: Northern Ireland, Falklands Part 2/2

A lot of good detail can be gleaned from this video of British Para tactics, techniques and procedures. For example, not the rear door of the armored car being left open for a rear gunner to be alert and ready-to-fire.

The British Paras are a thinking man's Airborne.

I wish I was on exchange duty with them.

@henchman696 We do it all the time in Iraq/Afghanistan! At least the Brits hugged the terrain folds and urban structures for masking whenever they could.

@theapollomoonlanding I'd watch such talk, my friend. It really doesn't help at all, just throws gasoline on a fire that's been burning for way too long.

@tbilisicentral I agree - the SAS are amazing as are their American "offspring" Delta Force.
