Delta Force KILLED Pablo Escobar...

Ойын-сауық

In 1991, the notorious Pablo Escobar, fled from Colombia to Bolivia in an attempt to evade capture. He went into hiding, but his whereabouts were eventually discovered by a team of Bolivian Leopardos, who were working alongside American advisors from the DEA and Navy SEALs. The raid on the ranch house was carried out at the request of the CIA. When the team made entry, they found cups of coffee on the table that were still warm, indicating that they had just missed capturing Escobar.
The United States government was under increasing pressure to capture Pablo Escobar, a man who has since become a legend. This was a significant foreign policy issue, and Special Operations Command-South was tasked with planning several capture/kill missions targeting Escobar, following his return to Colombia after the failed Bolivia raid. Despite launching personnel, logistics, and assets into Colombia on multiple occasions, JSOC was unsuccessful in capturing Escobar, leading to mission failure.
In his memoir, Delta Force commander Jerry Boykin recounts the intense hunt for Pablo Escobar, codenamed Operation Heavy Shadow. The mission was approved by the White House, and General Bill Garrison personally contacted Boykin at Delta. "I want you to go down there," Garrison said. "Select a few folks to take with you. Keep it small," (Boykin, 229). Boykin handpicked Squadron Leader LTC Gary Harrell, along with operators SFC Joe Vega and SFC Tony Mafnas to join him. Harrell also chose Sergeant Major Jack Alvarez to round out the team.
Upon arriving in Colombia, Harrell and Alvarez were tasked with establishing liaisons with the local police, particularly the "Search Bloc," which was leading the hunt for Escobar. Delta's role was to remain discreet and operate behind the scenes, with the operation primarily led by Colombian authorities. Meanwhile, Mafnas and Vega set up a sniper observation post that overlooked the Medellin valley, where Escobar was suspected to be hiding. Using their advanced observation equipment, they were able to visually confirm reports received by SIGINT platforms flying overhead.
Colombia's Search Bloc police unit, equipped with SIGINT gear provided by the United States, received a positive hit on Escobar's location, which was traced to his mother's house. A Search Bloc member visually confirmed seeing Escobar in the second-story window of the house, talking on the phone. Upon receiving this information, a Delta operator at Tola Maida swiftly assisted in preparing the assault team and getting them ready to hit the target.

    Your mini-documentaries are awesome. You give just enough backstory before moving on to the meat and potatoes, where you don't spend a lot of time on meaningless details. I love it. Far too many mini-docs spend half the video on backstory and/or bounce back and forth between the backstory and the main story so much they become messy and hard to follow. Yours are the only ones I don't constantly skip ahead, or give up and stop watching. Keep up the great work man!

They were going to carry out an helicopter assault on Escobars Hacienda Napoles estate, however one of the two helicopters crashed in bad weather on the way to the target. There was a movie released a few years ago called 'Killing Escobar'.

    Prison is defined as "a building in which people are legally held as a punishment for a crime they have committed or while awaiting trial." There's no mention of quality of life. He was in a prison. Would you say criminals in America who still give orders from prison aren't IN prison because they can communicate with the outside world? No. He was in a prison, one of his own construction. But it was a real prison. It had guards that kept him inside.

    Ironically los pepes had funding from Pablo's arch nemesis the cali cartel. And after pablo died they went on to form the right wing paramilitaries in colombia that fought against the left wing insurgents farc. And of course they all still trafficked cocaine. But escobar still needed to go. No one wanted him alive anymore.

    Someone once asked why the snipers in general, but in SOF and SMU’s comes from one thing, and one thing only. Hundreds of thousands of shoots in training. When I was in a particular unit, we took four good soldiers to the range, we got their baseline proficiency. One trooper was allotted 200 rounds, another got 1000, the next 1500 and #4, the weakest shooter at the start line got 2000 or 2500. After 2 weeks of range time, independent of each other, we brought them back together and reshot the test. The level of difficulty was raised, however, that only impacted the first soldier. The other 3 kids’ performance was directly in proportion to the number of bullets they fired. SMU snipers are good because they do a shit ton of trigger pulling. In Afghanistan, we were able to almost double the number of SEAL snipers by pairing them up with the NZSAS. The Kiwi’s did the majority of the spotting. While the SEALs are not great at field craft, they more than make up for it with pretty good shooting.

    Clancy wasn't psychic. He did his research, and he did a lot of it for his books, and he was very good at drawing logical conclusions from the information. I watched a recorded talk he did at the NSA about The Hunt for Red October and how through 4 lines of text in a newspaper article and some educated guesses, he predicted the size and function of the so-called "F-19 Stealth Fighter" which would be revealed years later to be the F-117 Nighthawk. In the same talk, he mentioned how he guessed at the parameters of Aegis cruisers based on the stat blocks in the Harpoon table top game. Clancy knew his stuff really well, and he could read the patterns of cause and effect of events. It seems like psychic fortune-telling to us mere mortals, but it's just the result of really good analysis.

    Had a couple of questions that came to my mind: 1) If the sniper who took the shot was actually a part of the Colombian Search Bloc, I feel like they would at least have been recognized for being the person who shot and killed Escobar. He was a high profile target. 2) If it *was* Delta, we've heard about other high profile targets Delta has gone after capture or otherwise; Uday/Qusay, Hussein, Qaddafi, Aidid, Al-Baghdadi. I understand 'quiet professionalism' could be the answer but if we heard about the others, what's the rationale for staying so quiet on Escobar? In other words, if it got out that it was in fact a Delta sniper, what ramifications would that have?

    The Americans were really hated over there at that time. They were causing issues on both sides of the field. The sole rule of the final engagement was for Pablo to be killed by Columbians and not an American. Technically, the Americans weren't even supposed to be there any more but stayed anyways. The Columbian govt and the cartels would have perma banned the Americans from ever doing operations in Columbia. Everything that the Americans were doing at that time were either borderline illegal or straight up Illegal. You cannot forget the fact that Los Pepes was co-founded by a DEA agent that the Columbian govt knew about and the DEA were also aware and both parties simply ignored them so they could do the dirty work. Los Pepes was also feeding the DEA and Search Bloc information. The Columbian people would have also been pissed and guaranteed there would have been a huge uprising and over throw the govt. There was a lot of tension between the people, the govt and the cartels. The shot that killed Pablo will never truly come to light regardless of who killed him. But it's like a 100% sure thing that it was a Columbian who shot him and not an American.

    You make all excellent points, however, I think you overlooked one big point. Let's just say it really was a Search Bloc shooter who took out Pablo Escobar. They make an official recognition of the Columbian and most Columbian citizens would immediately declare him a national hero. Unfortunately, around the same time that officer, along with his entire family/in-laws would be decapitated. Even though Pablo wasn't as powerful at the time of his death there's going to be someone who wants to avenge Escobar and if not them, it would be some other Cartel sicario who would probably do it, not because they give a shit about Pablo - they don't - but to send the message, "This is what happens when one of you kills one of us!" Did you ever notice how covered up all Mexican special police & special military units are? You can't see a postage stamp-sized piece of skin. Those dudes are facing the same fate. If their identities are revealed, Mexican Cartel killers are going to have your family in pieces before the next sunrise. Scary shit...

    I have a recommend as you are getting into military fire fights. What's been one of the more unsung crazy fights called 'Battle of Mirbat'. 10 SAS soldiers and some local fighters and police against attack by horde of hundreds of rebels, the local garrison mostly ran away and hid when they saw the horde of rebels coming down from the mountains. There was a lot of heroism in this but particularly a Fijian SAS soldier Labalaba who ran to a position at an Anti-Tank gun, a good distance from the rest of the SAS squad, and he was repeatedly shot, iirc even in the face, and kept single handedly operating a frickin anti-tank gun, a howitzer which is normally operated by a few men, firing it at the enemy who were all going for his position, the rebels got so close he was firing the howitzer even at point blank range, eventually he died in the fight. A good documentation of it is the second half of the video on KZread "SAS The Soldier's Story - The Gulf War and Oman, The Battle of Mirbat", also on KZread "SAS's Rorke's Drift: The Battle of Mirbat July 1972" had good details.
