When a race gets too dangerous: the 2000 Dakar airlift

background music really reminds me to Ace Combat Games great video :D

You have a fantastic voice for commentating, great video too!

its basically mad max fury road in real life

the great antonov

Wonderful commentator voice

I wonder who paid for the airlift? Surely the cost would have broken the PD company????

Aixam is company making mainly no licence ultra light vehicule. not race car for ice ;) really good video. Remind me good time when watched that on TV. Forgot was in 92

holy fuck, you are the best documentary channel i've ever watched, and I binge watch hundreds.
the ace combat music is perfect
keep doing what you're doing <3

I bet if they wouldnt have the planes theyd strap some mgs on top of the trucks and cars and continued the race lmao

It is called the Paris-Dakar. Not the Dakar

Renault Kangoo Dakar? So cool!

please, the name is Paris-Dakar , not just Dakar

The cost mustve been monumental omg

i mean, the imperialists had the fastests cars around, they could probably had outran the terrorists

This would be the last place where I would hope to find a song from Ace Combat, but it's welcome surprise nonetheless!

Gonna be honest, thought the thumbnail said “Dakar’oo”

the ace combat soundtrack is perfect fot this video 😂

RIP Antonov <3

Fucking cool

lol whot. Dakar in Cap verde??? Dakar is in Senegal right?

da car rally

Now imagine da baby car participating in da car rally

wow a rally car that can't handle heat ! 😂

Ne vlaming verdoeme, great video!

Great video!!

Thanks for working on this vid. Anytime i see an antonov doing its thing, it puts a smile on my face.

Whut

Ik ruik Vlaming

Considering that they werent being chased down by terrorists, it wouldnt be a hit.

Ace combat music!

This is a nice thing how to test a durable, reliability the car is. Only is the car is highly modified

Antonov not just larger plane but also most useful cargo plane ever cuz how big the plane is. A great savior from the East

Great soundtrack!

Dakar's in Senegal, not Cap Verde. And it's the capital city of Senegal at that.

When humanity came together and restored my faith 🙏

echt een zot verhaal. Goed bezig Stijn!

Antonov, absolute legend of a machine. Sad it lost to the war 😥

Russians saved the rally. where were the Americans??

My dad was there. Also one time somebody died because he raced over a mine. Dakar is carzy.

Intelligence: "There's gonna be a terrorist attack around here and you're the target."
Race organizers: "We should take Dakar Rally, and fly it somewhere else!"

Oh my 🫢🫢 this is an incredible story you have told my friend is shocking to hear how dangerous that year's event turned out had not been for the organizers' quick thinking and creative efforts it would be a disaster so thank you for the video and have a wonderful day bye now. P.S. Hey SP after learning about dakar racing are you going to talk about mitsubishi dominating years in dakar.

This comment section is a mistake...

Dakar is in Senegal bro. Not Cape Verde

Africa Eco Race is the Original Dakar still. Dakar is somewhere else except dakar

You know, looking back at Motorstorm and how much it is already inspired by Dakar, the in-game lore of drivers parachuting their cars onto to Island in Pacific Rift might be partially inspired by this event...

Dakar isn’t in Cape Verde!

Dakar is not in Cape Verde! Go to school before do any thing in your life.

Dakar is a city in Senegal not Cape Verde!
You dont deserve to watch this vídeo do your work

the AC5 Briefing's song :D nice video!

i bet those terrorists felt so poor lmao just watchin em fly over
