Скачать или смотреть The Perfect Mission That Went Horribly Wrong - The Ghost Soldiers of Son Tay

They called it a rescue mission. It became a ghost story.In November 1970, deep in the jungles of North Vietnam, U.S. Special Forces launched one of the most daring raids in modern military history. Their target was the Son Tay prison camp, just twenty-three miles from Hanoi, where dozens of American POWs were believed to be held.
The plan was perfect. Months of preparation, top-secret rehearsals, flawless coordination between Green Berets, Air Force pilots, and intelligence teams. In the dead of night, they flew through storms, evaded radar, and landed in the heart of enemy territory. Every second was a gamble. Every mile was a countdown to discovery.
But when the raiders stormed the compound, they found the unthinkable. The prison was empty. The men they had risked everything to save had been moved days earlier.
The Son Tay Raid was supposed to be a rescue. Instead, it became a legend. Though no prisoners were freed, the operation changed the future of special warfare. It showed the world that America would go anywhere, do anything, to bring its people home, even into the heart of the enemy’s capital.
This documentary tells the untold story of Operation Ivory Coast, including the planning, the precision, the courage, and the heartbreak. Using rare photos, declassified reports, and firsthand accounts, it explores how one mission redefined the meaning of sacrifice and shaped every special operation that came after.
Experience the mission that flew into hell and returned with ghosts, the story of the men who dared the impossible and wrote their names into history.
