FWIW, this sort of coup de main attack is the bread and butter job for SOF and Air Assault units. If we were doing it, we would have deployed a couple of SF A teams or Delta for a covert move combined with either a heli or airborne low level jump by the Ranger Regt. see Grenada invasion where the 75th jumped on the Point Salinas Airport (with follow-up runway landings of the 82nd C-130s) and the Pearl airport seized by SEALS and the 2/8th USMC by CH-46 , CH-53
PS: there is no such weapon as the ZSU-23-3 from the video. What is shown is the likely ZSU-23-2
In addition to showing the response of the back-of-the-pack Ukrainian units, this also shows that depending on a series of high risk ops is a bad plan. Sort of like depending on a flock of high risk new systems in a new ship design.
Good brief!
Full bore indeed. And thanks for the video link, very well done indeed, I've subscribed.

Correct about the ZSU. I'm pretty sure Mr. Pleasance actually said ZSU-23-2 in the narration (if I heard him right), so the graphic was likely a typo.

I didn't know submarines had a gender in English...
Will is the decisive element. With it, the fight can begin with a rock or a piece of wood. Without it, an atom bomb will not suffice.

BZ to those who stepped up to the plate. Can't imagine what a roller coaster of a day that was for all parties.
The reservist on their two week stint at CLNC were enjoying their training, squared away and motivated.
That was the only difference from us regulars.
thanks so much for both your vignette and for the great video!
