Stand still that Man.......post deleted oops !!

Also, the PWRR specialise in this Airport capturing lark where they land a Herc on an enemy runway and get out and slot them all... Not air asault but slightly more airborne than most...

And when the C130 Lands its blown to bits and riddled with fire .....sorry pal but that`s Fiction not Fact...........it`s also suicidal

I wouldn't have thought the tank regiments do much peacekeeping. Then again, I don't know that much about tank regiments...

Dont tell the tankies who patrolled the streets of N.I.since the troubles started. I would have thought any unit available will go warfighting these days due to the CUTSeven if they are not upto strengththey can be brought up pretty quick nowadays
as THEY say
aye

the israelis did that as a hostage rescue so maybe not completely impossible. Now those israelis know how to deal with terrorists when they take hostages

I know it sounds funny but I was in the CCF and ACF as a PI so spent a lot of time w/ the PWRR and saw them do it once... Dunno if it was just to see f it could be done but did see their Herc land and their landies come flying out the back... looked cool but i did think it was a stupid idea

Isn't the armoured Recce and attached unit, from like the Blues and Royals etc?
