Operation Gothic Serpent - Battle of Mogadishu 3-4 oct.1993

[Grundig]

Operation Gothic Serpent was a military operation conducted by special operations forces of the United States with the primary mission of capturing warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. The operation took place in Somalia, Africa from August to October 1993 and was supervised by the Joint Special Operations Command.As part of the operation, the soldiers were deployed in a mission to arrest two of Aidid's lieutenants. The result of that mission – executed under the command of Gothic Serpent – became known as the Battle of Mogadishu, or "The Battle of the Black Sea" to those who fought in it.On October 3, 1993, Task Force Ranger, U.S. Special Operations Forces composed mainly of Bravo Company 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (better known as "Delta Force") operators, and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) ("The Night Stalkers"), attempted to capture Aidid's foreign minister Omar Salad Elmi and his top political advisor, Mohamed Hassan Awale.The plan was that Delta Force operators would assault the target building (using MH-6 Little Bird helicopters) and secure the targets inside the building while four Ranger chalks (under the command of Capt. Michael D. Steele) would fast rope down from hovering MH-60L Black Hawk helicopters. The Rangers would then create a four-corner defensive perimeter around the target building while a column of nine Humvees and three five-ton trucks (under the command of Lt. Col. Danny McKnight) would arrive at the target building to take the entire assault team and their prisoners back to base. The entire operation was estimated to take no longer than 30 minutes.

bella grundig

Cos'hai messo sulle guancette della .45? Un 'inibitore' di sicura, per caso?

[Beppe_goodoldrebel]

bravissimi tutti e 2.

Domanda per il D-boy , DCU con modifica RAID già nel 93?

[_marchino_]

Cucivano le tasche sulle maniche già in Vietnam...
Setup da urlo ragazze!!! 10+ al taglio di capelli!!

Come non detto , sono ignorante io.

[octabrain]

spettacolo entrambi. quello delta non mi pronuncio, le foto dell'epoca sono confuse , non mi piace tanto la tasca shooting systems, ci avrei messo altro.

i ranger sono stupendi entrambi (certo, magari invece che portare da solo m16+m72+m870 dà qualcosa al collega).

forse un paio di piccole imprecisioni sono i nametapes in tan e la carabina che nelle foto originali sembrerebbero essere 727. il portaborraccia m67 post 72 potresti sostituirlo con uno alice, mentre mi sembra che quello di dx di plucco sia di manifattura troppo recente. anche la mx300 nella tasca prc 68 è un pò strana come soluzione. mi sembra che il 93 fosse anche l'anno di dismissione delle m17, le m40 sarebbero forse migliori (o comunque un porta m17 senza il marchio ACC che penso fosse presente solo sulle più datate.)

100 punti per il taglio di capelli e le ginocchiere senza altalok.

softairisticamente parlando, che 870 è?

[corte]

Veramete dei gran setup complimenti!
Mi accodo a octabrain per sapere la provenienza dell'870 che sembra molto bello!

[Charly Driver]

Bellissimo e particolarissimo! Anche io sono interessato a sapere dove l'hai trovato l'870 versione police.

[Beppe_goodoldrebel]

La TANAKA so che ne fa uno simile ma non la versione in legno/metallo....
