Seems that if you want to carry out a terror attack in Kenya you are destined to run into and get ****ed up by the SAS at some point. The attack that occurred a few years ago there in the mall had a report come out that an SAS soldier that was there ended up killing 4 or 5 of the terrorists single-handedly, and now you have this guy basically running a counter operation all alone like he is Jack Bauer or something. Props to this man though! His actions display the skill and fearlessness the SAS is famous for.

I've heard of SAS.

Who the hell are SBS, and ST3?

Probably can't tell me, right?

The SBS stands for Special Boat Service. They have performed more combat operations and spent more time in Afghanistan than the SAS but all you ever hear about is the SAS, who have done plenty of badass things. It's sort of like the relationship between Delta and Devgru.

ST3 = Seal Team 3. From my understanding, Seal Team 3 wears the Edward Teach/Blackbeard Patch.

I have one on the back of my trucks, and when I was at JEB-LC/Gator Blvd, I was asked by a guy from 2 if I was from 3. I have a house in OBX, and when I explained why I had the sticker, the guy from 2 told me the guys from 3 use that patch.

yes the SBS was the ones that done the limpet mine attack on the German Tripitz Battleship with the Xcraft mini subs while it was moored in Norway during WWII. Two crew was captured and brought aboard the battleship all while their charges was right below them. The six sub crew members refused to divulge any info about it all knowing they probably end up dying. This shows you exactly the people that serve in the SAS/SBS.

Turns out this guy was just shopping when this all occurred as well. Pretty sure the other SAS operator was at the mall shopping with his family when it popped off too iirc.

SEAL teams were there. Just saying.
As are USA-SF, etc, but to see the SAS operator with a patch that is typically worn by ST3 would lead me to believe his Troop must have a pretty good bond/working relationship with ST3.

I only work on their boats, so my knowledge of relationships between allied countries SF groups is limited.
