By the beginning of 2003, fewer than 900 persons had ever Qualified as South African Special Forces Operators - fewer people than have ever successfully climbed Mount Everest. Out of this 900, more than 200 are deceased.O evereste ja se tenta escalar ha mais de 60 anos, o dobro dos anos ke essa força tem portanto sentido ke ja tenham escalado mais pessoas o evereste ke as ke tenham entrado para essa força.
All South African Special Forces Operators are highly qualified in all aspects of Land, Airborne and Seaborne skills, tactics, operations and deployments; and are able to and have Operated in virtually all possible terrain and climatic conditions.O que não é inedito.
During war, Operators could expect to be physically deployed in actual operations against the enemy - primarily behind enemy lines - for an average of 9 to 10 months per year. Many Operators did this for 10 to 15 years.Ídem...
During war, the average weight of kit carried by Special Forces Operators is 60kg to 80kg. For long-distance deployments or Small Team operations, the average weight of kit carried is 100kg. The heaviest kit carried by Small Teams or Long deployment Operators is 130kg.Bullshit...! yeah right, isso e como um gaju andar com duas pessoas de estatura media as costas durante uma guerra inteira.
An unofficial form of achievement within the South African Special Forces is when an Operator has completed a " Gunston 500" - named after the Surfing Championship. In the South African Special Forces context, a "Gunston 500" entails conducting an operation behind enemy lines, where one walks for 500 kilometres or more with full kit. Many Operators, and most who took part in the Angolan war, have completed at least one or many " Gunston 500's" .Idem...
During the Angolan war, 95% of all Special Forces operations were carried out behind enemy lines - over distances of anything from 10 km to 2000 km behind the enemy lines.o que também nao é inedito.
The first South African soldier Killed in Action at the beginning of the Angolan / former South West Africa war was a Special Forces Operator, and the last South African soldier Killed in Action at the end of the Angola / former South West Africa war was a Special Forces Operator.
Que raio de força se orgulha de ter o primeiro morto numa guerra?!
Special Forces Operators have never had equal of superior numbers to the enemy when attacking enemy fixed positions, and have always been heavily outnumbered in all their engagements.mais uma vez isto é pao nosso de cada dia das forças especiais.
Não duvido das capacidades deles mas 130kg em raids de 500km a pe, sinceramente... podem exagerar 1 bokado agr isto.... ja para nao falar na alta taxa de mortalidade, 1 soldado vivo pode significar a vitoria, 1000 mortos significam mais caixoes... ja agora pelo que vi nas fotos as mochilas ke eles usao sao entre 70 e 90 litros no maximo e a n ao ser ke eles carreguem chumbo em bruto la dentro akilo n pode levar mais de 70 a 80 kilos... portanto eles teriam de andar kuase com 2 mochilas destas...
