French GIGN - Bravo!

You won't hear this from me often, but kudos to the French anti-terrorist unit.

Old footage, but quite compelling.

That's hardcore! Go Frenchies!

Impressive stuff all round - the ladder thing was a bit of a ****-up, but they all got in and kicked some butt, so it came good in the end...

Male chicken is censored? how droll!

I love you Brits.

Sh!t, 4 terrorists in a cockpit, and u get 10 guys wounded??? Fu*k that.... That was amateur time...

 

[Matt308]

Okay, Les. Lets have your game plan.

 

[lesofprimus]

Well first a Janssen Motor Sling would be thrown over the top nose section, which allows 2 men to be simultaneously lifted from each end, using a battery operated motor.... 2 snipers at conflicting angles cover the cockpit (one at actual camera footage location)... Have entry team at door and hit the cockpit windows and door at the same time.... Gas and stun grenades go first.... blah blah blah...

BTW, I have an unfair advantage cause we prepped for the same Op in 95, usin this tape as a background on what not to do.... It was amateur night like I said... We kinda made fun of them...

 

[Matt308]

Was your scenario with the goblins all in the cockpit? My first thought was that any scenario would result in mass killing inside with pistols and AKs. They were just to stupid not to carry out their evil.

And a motor slin over the cockpit? How does that work with the sloping nose and no protuberances on which to anchor?

 

[lesofprimus]

Magnetic attachments which are high power and controllable from a remote... The scenario did involve all 4 baddies in the cockpit, including 2 pilots...

Flash bangs work wonders guys...

 

[Matt308]

Hmmm. Magnets on aluminium...

You first.

 

[lesofprimus]

There is a steel sub-structure where the nose area mates with the fuselage...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

can't seem to open the video but les is the GSG9 and SAS raid on the airliner in Mogadishu still used as an instructional example?

 

[lesofprimus]

For Detachments that are going to handle anti-terrorism scenarios, yes it is to an extent, as certain tactics have changed over the years...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

How did GSG9 Handle there scenerio. I remember hearing abou tit but cant remember exactly how it went down and if it went down well.

 

[Clave]

There is absolutely no guarantee of success in these operations...
