Скачать или смотреть Viet Cong Commanders Mocked Australian Patrols, Until They Saw What They Could Do

In 1967, Viet Cong commanders dismissed Australian SAS patrols as "light walkers" - troops who moved without weight or consequence. They were confident in their jungle expertise and couldn't understand why their scouts failed to detect Australian movements.

That confidence didn't last long.

This is the true story of how a four-man Australian SAS patrol tracked a Viet Cong company for three days through hostile jungle, observed their movements from less than 150 meters away, and forced an entire enemy command structure to change how they operated.

No Hollywood heroics. No exaggeration. Just the patient, professional fieldcraft that made the Australian SAS one of the most respected reconnaissance forces in the Vietnam War.


This documentary explores real reconnaissance tactics, Vietnamese perspectives based on captured documents, and the professional respect that developed between adversaries in jungle warfare.
