  1. Yep - sounds like a difficult job well done. It's always fascinated me how the SAS, most notably former members, are regarded almost as military rockstars whereas the SBS is still almost unheard of in the mainstream.

    They are really just the elite part of the Marines, and are very small in numbers.

    Random
    In 1977, their name was changed to the Special Boat Squadron and in 1980 the SBS relinquished North Sea oil rig protection to Comacchio Company

    Or they have devised the best system to combat it and want a big contract from the CAA, who have dithered over protecting the airports from drones.

    "Det Ch Supt Jason Tingley said there was "always a possibility that there may not have been any genuine drone activity in the first place""

    Sussex Police Detective Chief Superintendent Jason Tingley told Sky News officers had recovered a damaged drone on the north perimeter of the airport in Horley.

    The airport’s been sold to a French company. Hopefully they can manage it more efficiently.
