SAS in Iraq
« on: July 18, 2003, 02:56:18 PM »
Some Iraqi snipers are in deep doo !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



THE SAS will use a trusted and deadly tactic to take out Arab snipers in Iraq.

Troopers are set to dress as normal soldiers and patrol in areas where gunmen are thought to be.

Marksmen colleagues will be on high vantage points, keeping their guns trained on the “bait”.

Technical support staff will scan radio traffic between the guerillas.
It is possible they will actually hear enemy snipers chatting as they target our apparently vulnerable team.

At that moment the fanatics will be shot dead. The method was used to great effect in Northern Ireland. It reached such a stage that one SAS man actually heard through headphones an IRA sniper tell a pal he was tracking him.

He heard the paramilitary saying he was about to fire and take him out.

The trooper hit the ground a split second before the Barratt 50 fired — and an SAS sniper killed the terrorist.

The SAS team in Iraq would have arrived secretly — and ready to strike.

Sounds like another Andy McNab fairytale anyways.

Andy McNab and the Sun newspaper are not normally considered to be a reasonable source - it's more like a comic for adults with overhanging brows and room temp iq's

So.......

They walk around, disguised as soldiers, to attrack snipers. While they listen for radio transmissions that say... "I'm gonna shoot now!" Then they duck really fast.



ROFL!

What did he do with a Leatherman?  Behead an IRA sentry at 50 yards?

Using any kind of radios in such a guerrilla strike as described above, is a big no no...
