Australian Special Operations Team Extracts Under Fire

A Special Operations team from the Australian military conducts a hot extract under intense fire from the Taliban in their region. This is a picture-perfect hot extraction.


An extract under fire isn't something you have the privilege of witnessing every single day. There's a thousand reasons to not record a situation like this, and almost no reason to record it, so the fact that this footage even exists is something everyone should be thankful for. While the quality of the video itself isn't the best, the quality of the men conducting this extract from the pilots down to the individual operators is absolutely text-book.


We don't have the full context to this story. All we know for sure is that this is an Australian SAS unit extracting somewhere in Afghanistan. I highly doubt the full details of this video will ever truly be known, but it appears they are at the conclusion of either a raid or assault against an enemy position, and the Taliban show up just in time to try and interrupt their extraction. The SAS members aren't having that though, as they quickly gain fire superiority while on the move to the back of their extraction aircraft, and the pilot wastes absolutely no time getting his boys out of the line of fire.
