1:35 S.A.S. Land Rover "Pink Panther"
SAS (Special Air Service) is an elite special unit of the British Armed Forces, created in 1941 by Colonel David Stirling, which, with a short break, exists to the present day. The SAS was originally formed as a unit designed to operate in North Africa in the far rear of the Axis forces. Its tasks at that time included the broadly understood diversion and sabotage (e.g. destroying ammunition or fuel depots). At present, the most important branch of SAS is the 22 Professional Regiment of the Special Air Service, for which the 21st and 23rd SAS Regiment are a kind of reserve, and which performs operational tasks. Professional soldiers serve there. Recruitment to this unit is very rigorous, and individual and team training of already admitted people can take up to 6-7 years! The SAS is trained to operate in the enemy's distant rear, to counter-terrorist operations, or to rescue hostages. Special Air Service is currently recognized as probably the best special unit in the world and was a model for the formation of such units as Delta Force, KSK, or Polish GROM. After 1945, SAS soldiers took part in many conflicts, including the Falklands War (1982), both the Gulf Wars (1990-1991 and 2003), and the war in Afghanistan (from 2001).
