IICR in 1982, English SAS had proposed to the cheif of stuff, that English C-130s, painted with Argentinian markings and filled with SAS commandos, could land on Port Stanley’s airport, surprise the local garrison, and take over the airport!
Although the operation was disallowed as too risky, it is an excellent example of a modern trojan horse.
Does anybody know more of this?
BTW why did you named the thread: Trojan Hores?
so there is a story from some one … i m not sure but i heard , during Carter’s presidency , Iran took American Diplomats as hostage and held the Americans for over 400 days. there was a guy … Charly Beckwith who led Delta Force, a 150man anti terrorist unit that flew to Iran on 1980, and tried to release them but failed. the tragedy struck when a chopper moving to refuel from a C-130 cargo plane struck it and both burst into flames. 10 deltas died. but the key is that all choppers and C-130 were marked by IRAF insigne… i m not sure i just heard that …
