French GIGN - Bravo!

You won't hear this from me often, but kudos to the French anti-terrorist unit.

Old footage, but quite compelling.

YouTube - GIGN IN ACTION 1994, islamic terrorists killed

That's hardcore! Go Frenchies!

Impressive stuff all round - the ladder thing was a bit of a ****-up, but they all got in and kicked some butt, so it came good in the end...

Well first a Janssen Motor Sling would be thrown over the top nose section, which allows 2 men to be simultaneously lifted from each end, using a battery operated motor.... 2 snipers at conflicting angles cover the cockpit (one at actual camera footage location)... Have entry team at door and hit the cockpit windows and door at the same time.... Gas and stun grenades go first.... blah blah blah...

BTW, I have an unfair advantage cause we prepped for the same Op in 95, usin this tape as a background on what not to do.... It was amateur night like I said... We kinda made fun of them...

Was your scenario with the goblins all in the cockpit? My first thought was that any scenario would result in mass killing inside with pistols and AKs. They were just to stupid not to carry out their evil.

And a motor slin over the cockpit? How does that work with the sloping nose and no protuberances on which to anchor?

Magnetic attachments which are high power and controllable from a remote... The scenario did involve all 4 baddies in the cockpit, including 2 pilots...

Flash bangs work wonders guys...

There is a steel sub-structure where the nose area mates with the fuselage...

For Detachments that are going to handle anti-terrorism scenarios, yes it is to an extent, as certain tactics have changed over the years...
