British SAS special operations group, desert ambush. 2nd G.M 1/72 Strelets-M145

The British Special Air Service (SAS) was a special operations force created in 1941 during World War II. Its initial objective was to conduct raids behind enemy lines in North Africa, disrupting Axis operations. Under the leadership of David Stirling, the SAS carried out sabotage missions, including the destruction of aircraft and supplies at enemy airfields. They operated in small mobile groups, using vehicles such as armed jeeps, adapted for the desert. Their ability to strike quickly and disappear into the vast desert landscape contributed to Allied success in the North African campaign.
