Another brief look at the SBS in action. At the end of Operation Desert Storm, SBS commandos were airlifted to Kuwait City to secure the British Embassy. 2 Chinooks from Squadron 7, RAF Special Forces flew the main team in, who can be seen fast-roping down onto the Embassy buildings. Additional SBS men were fast-roped down from Royal Navy Seakings onto nearby buildings. These men included snipers who covered the main operation.
