SAS stop isis convoy with 2 bullets

www.express.co.uk...


Have not seen this story reported elsewhere.

No air cover to call upon, other elements of British forces out there.

2 SAS troopers took out 2 lorrys with ISIS pigs on board,no isis killed just stoped them from getting to their destination.

From the OP source

After hearing no jets were in the area for an airstrike, they blasted the first vehicle with a huge bullet from their AW50 rifle. The powerful shot hit the truck’s engine and split it in two.

That is pretty impressive.

Edited to add:

These guys are coming for western nations, but got stopped in their tracks by a single bullet. I guess the snipers head was out of decapitation range so the terrorists were left defenseless?....

C'mon, tell us how you really feel...

Smart move by smart individuals. Wonder what the distance was.

Cool stuff.

Should have followed up and also blown the ISIS terrorist scum straight to Allah. Let him judge there actions.

There is no bargaining or middle ground to be had with these religious extremist xenophobic nutters.

Stopping a convoy is probably easy for the SAS.

How are they going to stop the guerrilla warfare when they can't tell the difference between a child, a mother and a terrorist?

This is already the problem it's not as simple as sending some SEALS in there and ending ISIS.

Show me an example of when war has stopped terrorism? No seriously... When has it worked?

Let me answer for you. NEVER

It has only acted to exacerbate the problem.

IS ISL ISIS... whatever you want to call them...
Only like to fight battles where the odds are in their favor...
if things get to looking bad, they beat-feet out of dodge quick as can.

No they don't they go underground and use women and children as live bombs and blow everything up.

Sending SAS or SEALS in after ISIS is exactly the type of missions that the SAS, SEALS or even Spetsnaz *just to name a few* excel at. It's what they do and are damn good at their craft.

As far as War?

ISIS declared that on just about everyone already.

I raise my glass. Those two bullets disabled two trucks, which probably stopped a massacre.

Good lads.

Maybe we should all sit down and hold hands and try and understand these ISIS sorts, im sure they really only have the worlds best interests at heart?

Show me an alternative to war that will stop these crazed Islamic extremist bastards in there tracks and ile quite possibly entertain the notion!

a reply to: SLAYER69

Oh yeah so what are we going to do deploy 10,000 special operations units and run intelligence operations for another ten years and pick them off one at a time?

Sure as hell didn't work for the Russians, hasn't worked for us, but let's just keep thinking we can beat this idea with repression and violence.

a reply to: onequestion

To be fair, they don't seem like the most diplomatic type.

The same people who sell women as sex slaves, execute children and people of the 'wrong' belief, torture citizens and behead people.

a reply to: mr-lizard

I didn't suggest diplomacy

I'm pointing out the obvious. That war hasn't been working we need to consider alternate routes.

a reply to: SLAYER69

we already have Task Force 88

AKA TF Black/Knight... still don't freak out the civvies, k... makes then nervous to learn there really are sanctioned "hunter-killer teams" out there.

a reply to: onequestion

For our respective nations to make any kind of headway that does not involve an all out ground conflict regarding ISIS we would have to be willing to use ISIS own methods against them. And in doing so we would become them, or just as bad as them. It's a sticky wicket indeed, but a problem that has to be addressed and overcome before they become any more of a significant threat.

a reply to: andy06shake

Maybe the answer is staying out of their business?

a reply to: HardCorps

And they are already extracting and killing targets, it's just not publicized.

Nice bedtime story for you war mongers to knock one out to.

a reply to: onequestion

You really think that would stop them cutting the heads off aid workers? Or killing, raping and maiming all those Men, Women and Children?

The just leave it all alone and all will be fine attitude seldom works out i'm afraid! LoL
