In today's news, a British SAS team was smuggling an agent into Syria when up to 30 ISIS militants took them by surprise.
The team was outnumbered but still managed to wipe out the ambush, shooting eight terrorists dead in a fierce exchange of fire. Six were taken out by one operator using an automatic shotgun.
The SAS team had arranged a meeting with Syrian nationals after crossing the border from neighboring Iraq when they walked into the trap. They dashed for cover in a ditch but were being shot at from several different positions. One brave solider armed with an Origin-12 shotgun stepped up emptied one full magazine as he dashed across open ground towards the ISIS hideout.
The British operator kicked open the door and showered bullets as he moved from room to room. Six ISIS militants were killed within minutes and another three had fled.
At least two other jihadis were killed in a separate shoot-out which allowed the SAS team and their agent to escape.
A source said: “It was a classic SAS encounter. They had lost the initiative when the ambush was sprung. They were out-gunned and out-numbered but the team remained calm and focused. The last thing the jihadis expected was to be attacked, given that the SAS team consisted of eight men and there were at least 30 enemy fighters. The SAS quickly regained the initiative by using courage, aggression and firepower.” The SAS team safely broke free across the Syrian border into Iraq and returned to their headquarters.
It was one of the first times that Origin-12 - equipped with a silencer and lights - has been used in battle by the SAS.
The agent was successfully sent to Syria several days later at another border crossing point and has been able to pass on crucial intelligence to the US Joint Special Operations Command in Iraq. #zerofucks #nofucks #stayzero #military #uk #british #sas @thesilent_professional
