well, Somalia is the African version of Ukraine ... And I really respect the Somalis, who at one time lowered the gallant American special forces so that the Americans already withdrew their contingent from their country ... an excellent picture-a bunch of natives with Kalash punished "the most militant and brave an army throughout the visible universe "

Do not call Somalis!
The Ukrainians had both industry and statehood, while the Somalis for the last couple of hundred years, either slave traders from Europe or "special forces" from the United States - survive as best they can!

Aha lowered .................... 18 amers on 500 Samalis (on corpses)

you are very deeply mistaken about the delta operation in Somalia, but they screwed up, but there were reasons that were not related to the delta fighters themselves (poor intelligence, mistakes in planning the operation, underestimated the enemy), but if you compare the losses, the deltas were killed only about 30 killed and a little more than 150 wounded, when the Somali losses amounted to 1500 people killed and wounded. you can put me cons, but this is a fact, although I myself do not like these mattresses

[Mikhail Krapivin]

For me, the ratio is lethal for the Yankees. What kind of special forces is it if 180 fighters are beaten out by some Papuans with Kalash and RPGs? And then, if these losses are enough for the Yankees to hastily withdraw their entire contingent from the country, how are they going to fight as an adult when losses by hundreds and thousands go?

[Slobber]

And I respect the Somalis, who once lowered the brave American special forces so that the Americans already withdrawn their contingent from their country

Are you so happy for the pirates who kill people and rob ships, the radicals who swore allegiance to IS, or are you happy for the freaks who attacked unarmed people in training? Thanks for the clear answer.

[roskot]

If Somalia is Ukraine, then the methods are appropriate. Two pickups were wrung out.

Yes, Somalis with special forces were unlucky: it’s immediately clear that it’s not a Russian school ...

[SALLAK]

Cadets against seasoned militants ... you know ... you want a lot ... In fact, the killer pros attacked the boys from an ambush ... without knowing the details, it’s difficult to imagine the whole picture, but I think that the cadets had no chance ...

[Vladimir Pozlnyakov]

All Somali pirates, who had seized and plundered ships earlier, switched to safer "work" as roadside bandits! There is no need to work, a mug for schnapps is always at the ready, a snack can be easily taken away ..... And how long have these monkeys been sitting on palms, clutching their tails. They got down to misfortune .... Even their fellow from Kenya was attached to the White House as a main monkey!

What kind of special forces is this ... too big losses.

Although if the cadets are newcomers and their commander miscalculated in something ... then the Al-Shabab militants were just lucky.

Usually, special forces are ready to join the battle even in case of an unexpected attack, and such losses are not typical for him.

The usual, what is it called there, Delta? There, not the special forces as such, but the mediocre planning of the special operation: they did not provide for the escape route, respect for the secrecy regime, emergency evacuation and support. As a result, special forces lured into the city, surrounded and methodically snapped from the upper floors of buildings. About the same as ours in Grozny.

As usual, the Yankes instructors did not succeed in educating the future “peacemakers,” since the local population, who did not agree with the Yankees, applied their tactics — the tactics of their ancestors.

Are there any remnants of statehood in Somalia? The American writer said that he had to go to Mogadishu to get to know this city for real, from the inside ... The Internet writes all sorts of nonsense, he said, some kind of maps, tables and nothing really about any country ...

I don't like this "blogger" at all, and his travels of 100 photos and 10 words, even more so.
But something interested.
Quote: "Even outside the city, when you stop, I apologize, to pee, they clean the area from gophers and beavers."
Negroes in Somalia are responsible! ))))
And also, strangely enough, there are a lot of photos of Negroes Smiling.
They are also neatly dressed, almost every third person has a white and clean T-shirt, they probably eat there every 3-4 days, but they wash their shirts at least once a day.

[Tor5]

Flimsy some sort of special forces ...

[vzvodnik]

And why are they hanging mugs? ?

[mag nit]

Special circles.

I remember a case when a company of US fighters met a platoon of special forces in the jungle.
Two days later, the battered company without weapons returned to the unit.
The commander ordered to report what happened. The report was as follows: "We met an enemy platoon. Apparently it was special forces. They started kicking us and took away their weapons." The commander asked: "Why with their feet? And what did they do with their hands?"
The company commander's response was: "Sir, they used their hands to open their eyes to appear narrow-eyed."
Then the commander of the American unit ordered to collect the mono and quickly get out of Vietnam. I have the honor.

“30 servicemen were killed,” said representatives of the Al-Shabab Islamist group. Well, the militants may not even lie, I think, several times less in reality.

[Maksus]

Do they have weapons besides color combat mugs? Are there knives or machine guns? If not, then it is surprising that they only lost 30 people.

[Maki Avellevich]

And why do they tie mugs on themselves?

[MAXUZZZ]

The country is not rich, I carry everything with me

[Mikhail Krapivin]

To make it easier for an enemy sniper to aim at a bright circle :)

[tolmachiev51]

Who is a cadet ??? and seasoned militants fighting for money for decades !!! Sorry for the youth.

[Maki Avellevich]

seasoned militants, fighting for decades for money !!!

There is not much "mature" in Africa at all.
