173 elite troops of the 22nd regiment of the British Special Air Service (SAS)
will return home from Libya in the coming days. Losses incurred during the
military campaign, the UK Defense Ministry declared inadmissible. On this
"Argumentam.ru" said British military expert Peter Beynchli, citing sources at
SAS.

According to him, "the official casualty figures were not disclosed. But,
according to various sources, it is from 21 to 35 troops. "

The greatest loss, according to Beynchli, SAS has suffered during the assault
on Tripoli and when a helicopter was shot down on the border of Libya and
Algeria.

Preparation and maintenance of one of the special force of the regiment,
according to experts, costs 1 million pounds per year.
