SAS Enforcers target ‘Mad Max’ Isis gangs

THE SAS is set to target Islamic State terrorists with a deadly new missile system.

In the past year, extremists have used sheet metal to add armour to commercial vehicles, creating an army of “Mad Max” trucks able to deflect artillery and tank shells.

But Britain’s new shoulder-fired lightweight rocket, code-named the Enforcer, can strike targets from up to 1,500 metres away. At present, special forces soldiers working with the Joint Special Operations Task Force have been using a type of Swedish 84mm anti-tank missile, nicknamed “the Vapouriser”.

It has been highly effective against vehicles and Islamic State bunkers but is heavy, while the new weapon can easily be carried by small strike teams. Before leaving office, former Prime Minister David Cameron announced a multi-million pound boost to special forces budgets to ensure they have the latest and most advanced weapons and equipment.

An SAS insider told us: “The new missile system looks very good, lightweight and carries a big punch. It is exactly what is needed. “Isis do not have the hi-tech weapons and so they have improvised.

“Some of their vehicles and their methods of attack are primitive, but they are sadly effective.

“Our role is to stop them in their tracks.” TROOPS using Army wi-fi to view porn have been warned they could be “named and shamed”.

The threat came after soldiers at the Royal School of Military Engineering made 21,126 attempts to access saucy sites in one week.

There were also 2,321 attempts to access gambling websites and 206 attempts to view violent scenes during the same week. Around 2,500 troops PATRICK WILLIAMS are based at the engineering school in Minley, Surrey, at any one time.

That means multiple attempts were made by individual personnel to enter blocked sites, according to a military document.

Ministry of Defence guidelines state troops are allowed to watch what they want online provided it is not illegal.

But there are strict rules preventing them from accessing and transmitting material described as being “indecent, obscene or embarrassing to the Ministry of Defence”.

Troops training at the school are allowed to use wi-fi to access the Defence Learning Environment as part of their course.

But a “snapshot” of online activity revealed that they were mainly using it to download porn and gamble online during working hours.

Now top brass have cracked down.

A document posted on notice boards at the base warned soldiers not to “misuse and access illegal sites”.

It said: “All users should be aware that it is possible using current software technology to identify those personnel attempting to gain access to blocked sites.

“Line managers should be aware a fair proportion of this is taking place between 0800hrs and 1600hrs. If it continues personnel will be named and wi-fi access will be revoked for those individuals abusing the system.”

One soldier based at the Army school said: “Troops like sex and they like to gamble so there should be no surprise they are trying to access these sites.

“Providing they are not illegal what is the problem?”

An Army spokesman said: “Any attempts to access inappropriate websites are recorded and investigated.”
