Black Hawk Down #2 (Estonian reaction)
Video Summary
The Battle of Mogadishu was a 15-hour operation that was supposed to be a quick and successful mission to snatch two top officials from Somali warlord Mohamed Farah Aidid. However, the mission quickly turned into a nightmare as the US Rangers and Delta Force came under heavy fire from Aidid’s forces. The battle was marked by intense fighting, with the US forces suffering heavy casualties, including the loss of 19 American lives, and the destruction of two Black Hawk helicopters. The mission was eventually extracted, but not before many of the US troops had to run a mile through the streets of Mogadishu, exposed to enemy fire. The battle was a testament to the bravery and resilience of the US troops, who fought under extreme conditions with limited resources. The battle ended in a defeat for the US forces, marking a turning point in the US involvement in Somalia, with the withdrawal of US troops in 1994.
