2008 ISSMC - GREATEST SUBGUN RAIDS IN HISTORY

For 2008 the course was “reenacting” the two of the greatest Subgun Raids of all time…

ISSMC Stage 1: GSG9 Raid in Somalia: Known as Operation Magic Fire, this action was taken on by the elite Grenzshutzgr 9 (Border Protection Group 9) or GSG9 for short. Formed as a result of the 1972 Munich tragedy, GSG9 is Germany’s elite counter-terrorism unit.
On October 13, 1977 Lufthansa flight 181 on its way to Frankfurt, was hijacked by 4 Arab terrorists demanding the release of Red Army Faction members. With 84 hostages, the airliner was ferried to various countries, finally setting down in Mogadishu, Somalia. Commander of the operation, Ulrich Wegener, gathered a team which also included two British SAS members and pursued the hijacked airliner.
The Captain of the aircraft was killed, and GSG9 felt that time was running out for the passengers. Towards midnight a diversion was created, and GSG9 crawled to the aircraft with IR goggles. Using flash-bang devices for the first time, the aircraft was entered and all terrorists killed.

ISSMC Stage 2: The Raid on Entebbe: Known as Operation Thunderbolt, the IDF carried out a hostage-rescue mission at Entebbe airport on the night of July 3^rd, 1976. On June 27^th Air France flight 139 was hijacked carrying 248 passengers and a crew of 12 as it left Athens heading for Paris. Two Palestinians and two Germans commandeered the flight and headed for Libya. It was there for 7 hours to refuel and then on to Entebbe airport in Uganda.
At Entebbe the four hijackers were joined by three additional terrorists – led by Bose. They demanded the release of 40 Palestinians held in Israel and 13 other detainees in other countries. The hostages were held for a week in Entebbe airport terminal and eventually non-Jewish passengers and the crew were released. The hijacking led to the Israeli government sending an elite group of Commandos on a daring night raid on the airport terminal, which by chance had been designed by an Israeli firm.
Borrowing a Mercedes like President Amin, the Raid used C-130s in infiltrate and begin the daring 30 minute raid. After destroying Amin’s Mig fighters at the airport, the Commandos hit the terminal. Of the 105 hostages left at the airport, three were killed and 10 wounded. 45 Ugandan soldiers were killed, 11 Migs destroyed, and one Israeli Commando was killed by a Ugandan sniper and 5 were wounded. All of the terrorists were killed.
