Australian S.A.S.R. & the Tizak operation | June 2010 

AND WHO ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE BEN SMITH ACTUALLY WAS NOT PART OF THE AUSSIE S.A.S. THAT LONG HE ALSO WAS A PART OF 1 SQUADRON BRITISH S.A.S. WHO HIS TEAMATES HATED BECAUSE HE KILLED INNOCENT CIVILIANS FOR ABSOLUTELY 💯 NOTHING: THERE ARE EVEN PICTURES OF HIM TAKING WAR TROPHIE PHOTOS OF KILLING AN INNOCENT MAN AND DRINKING BEER OUT OF HIS PROSTHETIC LEG 🦵 AND GIGGLING ABOUT IT. SO, IF YOU WANT TO USE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN TO MAKE AN IDOL OF SOMEONE YO I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEN GO AHEAD. BUT YOU BETTER NO WHAT THE FACTS ARE BEFORE YOU START FLAPPING YOUR GUMS JACK. HE EVEN WROTE LETTERS TO THE TEAMATES THAT, WERE GOING TO TELL ABOUT HIS WAR CRIMES AND, TOLD THEM HE WAS GOING TO KILL THEM. +++ HAD SOMEONE POST THEM FROM AN UNKNOWN MAILBOX AND WROTE THE LETTERS WITH RUBBER GLOVES. HE WAS ABSOLUTELY 💯 HUMILATED AT THE END BECAUSE HE STOOD TRIAL FOR THESE WAR CRIMES. AND LUKY FOR HIM HE KNEW AN EXTMLY WEALTHY BILLIONAIRE WHO HIRED A LAWYER FOR HIM AND GOT HIM OUT OF BEING LOCKED UP FOR LIFE IN JAIL. HE WAS, KICKED OUT OF THE S.A.S. IT TAKES MORE COURAGE SOMETIMES NOT TO KILL EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY YOU SEE, JUST TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL MISSION. INSTEAD OF WORKING WITH TRUE WARRIORS FOR HEAVENLY FATHER LORD ALMIGHTY! WHO ARE NOT AFRAID OF UNARMED MEN AND WILL GO TO THE 2 WAY STEEL RANGE AND GET HURT TO NOT KILL INNOSENCE IF NEED BE. +++ .

if you have ever met them, they are just different humans. They can seem so normal, but they will get up at 5am after a night on the piss and run up a steep hill for fun. they are wired differently. driven and determined.

@Sugarfoot 007 Who brings a perfectly good unarmed civilian to a war zone??? ....these groups move fast and continuous....to leave a man behind to watch a possible hostile is not on the cards...letting a possible hostile run free...is a quick way to warn the enemy and get all these men killed....what do you do????? It is a war zone after all? They did it...and all came home safe....now cry another tear and get over yourself. You were not there! :O

@Sugarfoot 007 Fuck off y0u grub!

Sugarfoot 007 Fuck you soy pussyboy

They weren't even unarmed civilians, they're just untrained religious zealots versus some of the most trained and well equipped soldiers to ever exist, so one hundred of them is not equivalent to one real soldier.

I am way past the point of agreeing. If some POS chooses to join a terrorist group, or provide aid and comfort to them, they are just a target. Targets are to be serviced, as expeditiously as possible. Regardless of their religion or lack of religion.

@Michael McNamara enlighten me how he started world war II. he was not prime minister of England at the beginning of the war. Did he collude with Hitler and Stalin to bomb and invade Poland?

Michael McNamara Neville Chamberlain was British Prime Minister when Germany invaded Poland in 1939 starting WW2. Churchill was in the Parliamentary Opposition at the time and was not in government. Wake up sleepy.

They were very brave but misused in this circumstance

They went into Afghan for the rare earth minerals and to increase opium production, which the Taliban had reduced. SO you could say profits are high when rough men help us secure them.

Deniz Levent lest we forget

Takes one to know one, Johnny. Glad we're on the same side now 07

Good on you Deniz, we have a great respect for your soldiers as well.

Same respect brother

Much love my Turkish brother and respect for your comment ✌🏻 lest we forget 🇦🇺🇹🇷

Fucken sick cunts

Good on ya lad

Absolutely, the greatest war criminals there are, breaking the rules of engagement and killing innocent people without a care

except they didnt kill soldiers, just civilians, classic war criminals

respects to the afghan civilians who were mercilessly slaughtered

Hey, least the fact they don't get mentioned gives them the benefit of not being treated as some evil invader and occupier who has only spent the past 19 years trying to do...something wrong in Afghanistan (it's always conveniently left out what evil deed we're doing in Afghanistan other than keeping the Taliban at bay so Afghans can be free.)

Don't forget the Kiwis, those bastards are as tough as nails and another brother in arms.

Yup so did the polish grom. Dutch SF etc all did the're parts.

lmao Ben Robert Smith

Polish SF US Army SF SEALs 75th Rangers and Sappers were all there and Sappers Lead The Way

I agree, but it makes me wonder about the weapons provided o these fine troops.

@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer might not the weapons fault. Could be ammo, magazine, user, or the weapon

John Rodrigues with modern semi autos, 999 times out of 1000, its the magazine

@TJ Murphy yep.

@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer yeah, especially considering both men had stoppages just moments after breach into the building. One is supposed to be rare enough but two within the first few rounds of each of their magazines!?!

@Flown off Love from Athens

@TJ Murphy Contrary to popular belief, we have mountains with snow in Australia. We can replicate almost all terrain and climates at least once a year to train our troops.

It isn't a competition though lads, the British will always be our brothers

@@NetWarriorsFTW Yes sir! 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇺

My limited reading from ex SAS members would give the impression that tropical jungle is the harshest terrain in which to operate. My respect to all who wear the uniform.

AlienFirefox hypothermia is when you’re too cold. Hyperthermia is when you’re too hot.

@Biliary Clinton you misread the info mate, it was a separate operation they ran and killed 180 blokes with no casualties. Tisak killed 70 Taliban and 2 wounded.

2nd commando regiment is a Tier 1 Unit what do you expect

@Klemheist huh, tf you on about Commando is Tier 1 as well. They’re used more for action, while SASR are used at recon

@Klemheist lol what you on. SOCOMD calls both of them as Tier 1 operators

@Klemheist nope they are Tier 1 elements according to SOCOMD. Tier 2 would be 1st Commando Reserves and SOER

great war criminals too.

Super soldiers can not defeat untrained people who do not want a foreign army in their country

@@kingsley3208 The only difference now is go pro cameras bro welcome to war you peanut go play call of duty

@@damianjohn5995 haha, say that to your CO mate. See what kind of response you get...

@@kingsley3208 go play cod you groupie

Basic soldiering done well = special forces

TheHypernaught can’t say that’s correct

I dunno, I probably wouldn't put my life in the hands of the guy that executes that kid in the recent video, that dude blows.

Ja frost a doubt we have any idea of what actually happened that day, we saw a clip of what was an entire mission.

@@tellah8037 there is no context to excuse it, we saw enough of it to know the kid wasn't a threat and that his death was wholly uneccessary.

Don't mind him. We just don't know how to accept praise. 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇬🇧

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer SASR wasn't formed until the 50s.

I was going to comment but your comment says it all. Aussies Diggers forever formidable even more so when outnumbered.

Right. Fuck knows how they don't need a chinook for each ballsack.

Long Tan.

American black hawk helicopters took them in, sufficient enough aha

Indeed they have massive ball they not only come from Australia but also is in the sasr deployed and lived to tell the tail

kev french yep and that’s a BOOM right there mate......

You either an Australian or not Australian. We're not America so we don't do British Australian or African Australian. If you're an Australian citizen you're Australian that's all that's it..

french considering our troops get paid more recieve better training and have better rifles I'd say it's like getting promoted into the premier league.

@@jimiweetbix8926 pretty sure you dont have better training....britain is one of the hardest in the world...wouldn't say promotion based on the fact that the British army is probably better....respect to all Australian soldiers tho

@kev french Give the pom some credit. Going from the premier league to playing actual football, takes a lot of guts

@LFE Did you serve mate? The way you acquire the base Intel, reconcile and recite it veraciously is impressive. Coming from a rookie who only did 4 years in reserves, Duke of Lancaster's regiment 5th battalion, wish I had the balls to go full AD...

English accent but can't even pronounce lieutenant. Oz army pronunciation is the same as British. Lacks credibility. And Smith not Smifff.

The Australian military proved their grit in WWII. If anything they have gotten better.

Mjölnir Captain Sparkle finger's if the U.S ever needs help, we’ll be there. I understand that you want our boys home. But if they want to fight (which they do) they will. The SASR are among the best soldiers in the world, they love their job, let them do it.

You've had ours and we've had your back in every fight since the 4th of july 1918 at Hamel together we're unstoppable on any battlefield in the land and sea. 🇦🇺🇺🇸

@@Calais05 couldn't have put the reply to old mate better myself. People seem to forget more Americans died the Australians defending Australia against the Japanese in the battle of the coral sea. They proved they had our back around the same time Britain proved they didn't have a care in the world for us...

John Rodrigues and nam we was there 2

Jtf2 was there aswel everytime they shot a Taliban they would go up and say sorry eh 😂 jk

@bagshitass calm down mate, dont like a bit of banter?

Hachi Roku Look at his name mate, that's just a sad lad.

The Taliban have managed to defeat US, NATO, Australian, Canadians, Soviets and Every other country that have confroned them. It's a Fact. They will soon would take over Afghanistan again. They are superb warrior. And I Don't Agree with Taliban's Ideas and Policies.

@@xmanykl4400 i believe that the afghan's have beaten every nation that has tried to invade, The last 300 odd years maybe more them not the taliban. I believe the taliban was first formally founded on the 10th October 1994. Correct me if I'm wrong

Our war crimes punch above our weight! We kill and torture prisoners AND civilians!

@@phil2112 War is war shit happens if you’ve got any sort of brain power you’d know that tough calls have to be made, what if they let him go and he told the taliban that Aus sf is there? Their mission is over what if he wanted to go after then with a vest? And torture that’s of course going to happen in war information is important as fuck. Be grateful people are ready to defend you.

Big targets 😂

@@hollowman2451 haha i guess

Ben Roberts-Smith is a war criminal multiple serving and former sas have testified against him. He's a maniac

@@petermccombie4355 -Is that supposed to hurt?....it doesn't.

@@68bobba2 what ?

@@petermccombie4355 arsehole

Peter McCombie The presumption of innocence until proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt is the bedrock of Western justice. Western journalists would do well to not undermine it. There are however a small handful of other men in 3SQN SASR who are evidently guilty with one extra-judicial killing captured on an SASR Operator’s helmet cam in 2012 being shown on 4 Corners, available on RU-vid. It’s undeniable and should bring in to question an element of leadership within 3SQN. Soldier “A” for example was shown clearly losing the plot while on operations in some of the footage showing an unacceptable lack of fire discipline and failure to listen and cooperate with his team. During review of the footage of operations involving him he clearly should have been pulled off duty and undergone a psychological assessment back in barracks.

Not to mention they would be magically transformed into US soldiers.

Yes I always laugh at how the standard tv programs are padded with bloat to make them 1 hr. This is short and sweet

Hey do you have any sources I could read about the handover process in Afghanistan? I've not found much to read or watch about it.

while the australian squads and platoons performed very well with small unit tactics in Vietnam, your overall assessment is just plain wrong. " the operational strategy used by the Australian Army in Vietnam was not successful. Palazzo believes that like the Americans, Australian strategy was focused on seeking to engage the Communist forces in battle and ultimately failed as the Communists were generally able to evade Australian forces when conditions were not favourable. Moreover, the Australians did not devote sufficient resources to disrupting the logistical infrastructure which supported the Communist forces in Phước Tuy Province and popular support for the Communists remained strong. After 1 ATF was withdrawn in 1971 the insurgency in Phước Tuy rapidly expanded. Ultimately, despite maintaining a reputation for professionalism, the operations of the task force had little impact on the final outcome of the war programs were often undertaken without reference to the local population and it was not until 1969 that villagers were involved in determining what projects would be undertaken and in their construction. Equally, ongoing staff and material support was usually not provided, while maintenance and sustainment was the responsibility of the provincial government which often lacked the capacity or the will to provide it, limiting the benefit provided to the local population. programs continued until 1 ATF's withdrawal in 1971, and although it may have succeeded in generating goodwill towards Australian forces, it largely failed to increase support for the South Vietnamese government in the province." As for the comparison to the malayan emergency, their share few if any similarities. In Vietnam the Viet Cong and the ARVN were ethnically and religiously the same. The VC had all of SE Asia in which to hide and the US could not separate the VC from the ordinary civilian population. The US also never had a workable political solution in view. Malaya was very different. The enemy was mainly Chinese whereas the Malay or Bumiputras were 100% Malay nationals and 100% Muslim by religion. The British knew this and used it to isolate the CTS by moving the Malays into protected villages. in Vietnam, in addition to the Vietcong, the millions strong NVA was directly involved in hostilities, operating SAMs, MiGs, artillery and tanks. Comparatively, The Malayan Communist Party had access to none of these things. In total, the Vietnamese forces numbered over 2,000,000 men, including 170,000 Chinese troops positioned in North Vietnam as a tripwire force to discourage an American invasion. The total number of Malayan Communist Party guerrillas came to 8,000 men. The two wars were not remotely comparable.

In conclusion, you shouldn't compare a military's methodology when one side was faced with over 2,000,000 men armed and supplied with modern Soviet aircraft, armor, and SAM systems, and the other faced 8,000 guerillas almost completely isolated from outside support. More men were killed in a single day in 1968 than in 12 years in Malaya.

SASR..does not rely on anybody else's intelligence..if someone is going to be in the firing line..they NEED to know what is going on ...accurately..

Almost equal to SASR and run TAG East

​@@WaveFlightSimulationsno one cares about TAG....😂😂😂

Love chalk and cheese together as well?

Glenn Hynes too true mate

More like "How's it goin mate"

As a kiwi It's easier to say lieutenant as loo ten ent. But both ways of saying it are correct.

Loo ten ent is for the Air Force and navy. Lef ten it. Is for the army

@@falaramal3979 Yeah didn't realise that back then. I'm just used to Lef-ten-ant. I've been saying it like that for as long as I've heard about it really.

All SAS operators are highly trained in counterrorism, along with large scale operations like marine CT

I met him and his son in the US in the summer of 2017, great guy.

The SRR are best at long range reconnaissance but the unit that is the best in the world is The SBS rated by every country in the world.

@@terrystokley2968 no that’s not true at all

Muhammad stop capping

You got this brother!

Goodluck mate 👍

Exactly. I said the same.

Also we don't have el zees we have el zeds.

If you guys don't get your shit together you'll soon be a Chinese colony.

Yes and I believe ODD were involved as well.

If I'm remembering the right book / battle. That was one hell of a fight!

@@fuxzor The book is "Crossroads"

Great book. The battle is only a very small part of it and honestly not even the best part
