theocd Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 nope, you are wrong, it is a military based unit,.. GIPN is police based,..Sorry to turn this into an arguement but I am currently reading in a Special Forces book that 'GIGN take its orders from the French Ministry Of Defence, but its members remain policemen, with powers of arrest...' and 'Most of the 700 or so GIGN actions have been police operations.' They even refer to the men as Officers instead of Troops and they prefer to arrest rather than kill.Unless the book is wrong, which is possible.

hunter42 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Moscow theathar hostige crisis is another example of the "good" SF of Russia,... the training might be good, and look nice, but they have to prove it in missions,..What's concerning is that the Moscow theatre was two years before the school hostage situation, and tghey clearly didn't learn from mistakes. What's even more concerning is that the Russians considered the theatre crisis to be a great success...I watched a special episode of Rescue 911 that was an incident from Russia (it's on youtube) where it was two people taken hostage. Basically, the Russians got fed up of negotiating and shot their way through the door, which resulted in the hostage taker and 1 hostage to be killed. That was also considered a success...I think I'll stay away from the mean streets of Russia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OC-DGIGN takes order from French Ministry of Defence - so does army too,.... but they are not policeman, as the name sugest Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale it is a part of the military force called Gendarmerie. But yeah, GIGN units are closer to enhanced SWAT teams than to pure military units such as the British SAS. Its operators are trained to follow police regulations and include negotiation and investigation specialist Everything you read is wright, except that they are policeman,..

And their tactic was so wrong! The theatar was full with planted bombs, and yet they decided to use gas througthout vents,.... I dont get it, why they werent thinking if terrorist see gas that they would activet the bombs?,.. and yes it can be a sucess because most of the bombs were fake,.... but still idiotic decision to gas througt the vents,.. and then the gas used was also unknown,...

frankie1988 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 You can't see the "gas" all the time. There are a lot of gasses that are clear and have little to no oderBut they definitly were aware of the gas attack,.. because when it started it caused panic in auditorium,..The Chechens, some of whom were equipped with gas masks, did not set off any explosives or fire on their hostages once the storming got under way. /pure luck Instead, the terrorists responded with firing blindly at the Russian positions outside. After thirty minutes, when the gas had taken effect, a physical assault on the building commenced.Long thirty minutes!!!very long,... - bad tactic - bad planing - bad SF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundking Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 STFUPlease play niceFrom China, maybe, live in China. No. So please just STFU.Once again, play niceON-TOPIC STUFFI fully understand you're getting a little edgy with him because he is always talking about china, and it does get annoying after a bit to hear anyone repeat anything. Your girlfriend could sit down saying she loves you and that's all she would say, and after a while, you'd get pretty tired of it. Everything gets annoying after a while, but STFU is not a good way to deal with it.. That's my opinion anyways.We all realize that it is annoying when he raves about China. But you don't gotta be dick about it.AgreedAcknowledging you posted, just not replying.Before anyone posts anything else, leave it be, we have taken care of it, please drop it. I have an open PM box, if you want to complain, or sook, or whine or "add useful input to this matter" please do so through there... I'm going to trust you guys to be a little mature, and then I won't have to warn anyone, delete anyone's posts or suspend posting privileges. I'm a nice guy, and I'm giving you a chance to drop it and move on, if I come back tomorrow morning, and this is a mess with flaming or even referring to it, then I'm going to get upset, and I'll retract my no deleting and no warning statement. Sounds fair if you ask me. I'm giving you a chance to be mature and all move on. If not, warnings and suspension are in your futures!
