'Battle of the Bay' underway in Tampa as part of military showcase
Ойын-сауық
You might hear explosions, simulated gunfire and helicopters if you are near the Tampa Convention Center on Wednesday.
The U.S. Special Operations Command is hosting a military showcase from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday in downtown Tampa.
The public is encouraged to attend and watch this "rare display of military-tactical-might." The event called "Battle of the Bay" is part of the Special Operations Forces Week annual conference with more than 170 service members taking part in a mock scenario defending Tampa from invaders.

14:28 The narrator: "As a retired Green Beret, I don't know a single Navy SEAL that doesn't appreciate a round of applause" - that was a nice little jab at the SEAL's love of the spotlight 😂😂

I'm convinced that the SEALs have done nothing of significance since neptune spear, and are just coasting on the cultural significance of Zero Dark Thirty alone. Everyone they work with says they constantly jeopardize missions in search of glory and adrenaline (They even did the same when they crashed a billion dollar stealth copter and shot Osama in the face while under direct orders not to). They should be called the Navy DIVAS: Don't Invite; Very Attention-Seeking
I’ve never seen this before. Holy shit. No one goes home until the brass is picked up.

Always big respect to the members of our Armed Forces and public safety communities. Sadly I found the entire scripting and narration to be pretty much completely ridiculous. Still enjoyed it overall though.

Dude those augmented parachutes are straight out of RUST 😂🤣
Really did a live reenactment of ghost recon breakpoint
If puntin put on a show, showing how he would take on drones with paragliders we would take the piss out of him xD.
I am honestly suprised they didn't have brass catchers/bags installed to avoid littering the river with thousands of blanks. That's going to be a fun cleanup for some divers. Chance of recovering more than 70% of the brass is minimal. There is already enough trash living on the bottom of that river. Loved the show. Well done and respect!
Good video - audio isn't up to par though (left feed - no stereo), and the guy sounds like a WWE announcer. Worthy conference/event though, and great show. Blue Angels and Thunderbirds dogfight/dual (playful of course) next time? They should do it for charity or something... you know folks want to see that. : )
