I was gonna post that one. From reading the comments, it's apparently Italian spec ops doing that mission. Also, delta only takes SF guys now and no longer takes rangers according to some airsoft dude.

In RIP the cadre told us something like 97% of Delta were Rangers, I might be misremembering or they could've been bullshitting us. Dunno if it's that huge anymore, wouldn't surprise me.

My understanding was that three of the hostages were Italian, hence the name.

Three things I don't like about that video:

As a blackhawk guy, holy poo poo at landing 90 degrees nose to nose in such a confined space, AND with a brownout.

Also, hitting the stab on the compound wall, godamn.

Last, I can't believe that video stayed up with their loving callsigns on it.

I've heard around 60-70% but who knows.

Nightstalkers do some crazy poo poo, you gotta train up for Neptune Spear somewhere.

Yeah, the callsigns at the end are pretty bad though fortunately most people won't know what they mean since they're all of Italian SEAL units.

I remember seeing a video or gif a while ago, showing the POV from a littlebird almost landing on top of two guys camped on the corner of a roof, then buzzing off again while giving the finger.

Anyone still got that?

Uh, maybe if old girl didn't step off the curb in front of a moving vehicle...
The first part was kinda screwy but I can't see exec protect guys going "hey let's stop for the woman who deliberately stepped off the curb in front of a convoy..."
Maybe her vest didn't go off like it was supposed to. Or that stupid head wrap poo poo really fucks peripheral vision.

I believe you mean an embattled warship in limited-maneuverability conditions, frantically moving to avoid potentially explosives-laden security threats and other hazards to navigation
