SAS는 ISIS 지하디 존을 어떻게 박살냈나? How crack SAS team snared Jihadi John with DIY DRONES(VIDEO)
How crack SAS team snared Jihadi John with DIY DRONES: Troops snuck deep inside Raqqa and launched 1lb helicopter to pin point British executioner before calling in air strike that wiped him out
Jihadi John - real name Mohammed Emwazi - was 'evaporated' by airstrike in ISIS's de facto capital of Raqqa in Syria
An SAS team tracked him down and called in the strike from just five miles outside of the terror group's stronghold
Eight special forces soldiers 'dug in' outside Raqqa and one assembled four 'nano helicopters' with cameras fitted
Drones were programmed to fly outside Emwazi's hideout and beamed footage to SAS HQ and US Central Command
지난 달 공중 폭격으로 사망한 영국인 출신 ISIS '지하디 존'
그의 실명은 '모하메드 엠와지'이다.
그는 시리아 라카의 ISIS근거지에서 무인기의 공중 폭격으로 증발해버렸다.
영국의 특수부대 SAS는 테러집단의 근거지에서 5마일(약7km) 떨어진 곳에 은신해
있던 그를 찾아내 공격했다.
8명의 특수부대는 라카 외곽에서 잠복하며 그중 한명은 카메라가 장착된 4대의 무인
나노 헬리콥터를 조립했다.
드론은 엠와지의 은신처 외곽을 날도록 프로그램됐으며 SAS본부와 미군 사령부로 항적

지하디 존은 그동안 ISIS의 인질 처형의 '아이콘'으로 부각되어 왔으며
미국과 영국 당국은 자국민 살해에 관여한 지하디 존의 행방을 찾는 데 정보력을 집중했고, 결국 제거에 성공했다.

A crack team from the SAS tracked down IS executioner Jihadi John and called in the air strike that killed him in Syria, it can be revealed today.
Until now the top-secret operation to eliminate the masked British extremist – who beheaded UK hostages Alan Henning and David Haines – was thought to have been conducted entirely from the air without any Western troops.
But The Mail on Sunday has learned that the perilous plan depended on a team of eight men from the Special Forces regiment risking their lives to penetrate deep inside the IS stronghold of Raqqa.

Eight SAS soldiers sneaked to within five miles of ISIS's de facto capital of Raqqa in Syria and from there, they flew four 'nano helicopters' fitted with cameras that spied on Jihadi John
ISIS's chief executioner Jihadi John - real name Mohammed Emwazi - was evaporated near a clock tower where the terror group carried out several brutal executions
And the secret weapon used to identify Jihadi John was a 1lb helicopter drone launched by the soldiers.
The daring mission began in darkness on November 11 when two US Chinook helicopters skimmed low across the Syrian desert to land at an isolated spot.
Avoiding all roads, the team of soldiers drove in desert buggies 35 miles south towards Raqqa. At about 3am, they 'dug in' five miles outside the city, where they remained undetected.
The following evening, while the rest of the team were on lookout, one man assembled four 3ft nano-helicopters with infrared and night-vision cameras in the nose. They were pre-programmed to fly to Jihadi John's hideout – a six-storey building in Raqqa.
The first drone set off towards its target, then entered 'hover and stare' mode, recording the movements of IS suspects at a building near the Sharksa mosque.
It beamed footage by satellite back to SAS HQ in Hereford and the US Central Command in Doha, Qatar.
'At 11.40 a car pulled up and he got inside. The Reaper locked on to its target and Jihadi John was history,' a source said of the strike near the infamous clock tower (pictured)
At 8.30pm, with the first drone low on power, a second one took over, and after another fruitless wait, it was replaced at 10pm.
But when the third suddenly shot back images of Jihadi John – real name Mohammed Emwazi – the tension in the control rooms was palpable.
A source said: 'US commanders re-tasked a Reaper drone armed with Hellfire missiles. At 11.40 a car pulled up and he got inside. The Reaper locked on to its target and Jihadi John was history. The guys were chuffed to get that maniac.'
£9million Tornados protected... by a 5ft fence
The Mail on Sunday can today reveal glaring security lapses at an RAF base where Tornado strike jets are protected by a flimsy 5ft-high picket fence.
Two Tornado GR4 fighter-bombers took off from RAF Marham in Norfolk last week to join the fight against Islamic State in Syria.
But the wooden fence at the end of the base's runway appears shockingly inadequate and could easily be knocked down by a would-be terrorist.
Although a hedge grows along most of the quarter-mile section of fence on the north-east corner of the base, reporter Andrew Young discovered an 8ft-wide gap, allowing him to go straight up to the fence.

The spot is just 300 yards from a path on which the bombers, which each cost £9.4 million, taxi down before they take off on the main runway.
The reporter, carrying a large rucksack which could potentially have hidden a bomb or weapons, stood by the fence for more than an hour on Wednesday as five of the jets took off on training missions.
At no time was he challenged by personnel at the base.
An RAF spokesman said last night: 'As a matter of policy, neither the RAF nor the Ministry of Defence discuss security measures. However, we can confirm security measures in place are robust and multi-layered, and are not solely dependent on perimeter fencing.'
