Daily Mail: Three SAS soldiers are wounded in top secret firefight with 30 ISIS terrorists deep behind enemy lines in Iraq

* SAS and SBS said to be on secret mission in Iraq when they are attacked
* ISIS bombarded troops with machine gun fire, rocket propelled grenades
* The three soldiers are thought to be first British casualties of the conflict
* A 15 minute firefight followed by an airstrike wiped out all ISIS insurgents

Three British Special Forces soldiers were wounded in a firefight with 30 ISIS militants in Iraq, it has been reported.

The SAS and SBS are said to have been on a secret mission deep inside enemy territory when the terrorists opened fire on them with machine guns mounted on American-built Humvees.

The men's bravery has not been acknowledged because defence chiefs refuse to confirm the ground war being fought by elite British troops in war ravaged Iraq and Syria, it is claimed.

Doubt it l remember when an entire squad was captured by tongan army reservists a decade ago during war games

fazman,
I hadn't heard about that. But you might be right. For these kinda guys to get into such a bad situation usually means someone gave them up (my supposition) or they were stupid. Tongan reservists!?!? really! Oooh, I bet some chewing was involved.

I have absolutely no doubt that the incident mentioned did occur. If this occured in the 90s, that is literally a lifetime ago. I also have little doubt about the operation a couple of years ago.

If this is a "war game", it seems it would be problematic to draw any conclusions from this without an understanding of the parameters set by the planners, the "gamers" if one will.

I've long known the US is heavily infilitrated with moles at all levels. It seems reasonable to suspect that US "allies" would face the same problem. As such, it's not hard to imagine someone "dropping a dime" on these people.

Even ambushed, the SAS/SBS suffered no killed and wiped out all 30 of their ambushers (if this article is to be believed). Impressive save in a shitty situation.
