When the Taliban took Kabul and the nation descended into turmoil, british Special air Service (SAS) soldiers were dispatched on a "secret surveillance operation" in Afghanistan. The SAS team was informed that there were no helicopters available to transport them to a safe area where they could fly out of the nation. This meant they'd have to go on a perilous trek of hundreds of kilometres, punctuated by Taliban checkpoints.

On their way to celebrate the Taliban's release, they decided to disguise themselves as devoted Afghan ladies. Except for guns and ammo, they had to ditch the majority of their military equipment. Counter-terrorist police are said to have given them burqas.

To look pro-Taliban, british special forces disguised themselves as pious, burqa-clad women and used flags of the organisation. They'd persuade Taliban fighters that the taxis were brimming with pious ladies on their side. The crew arrived at the airport entrance, which was guarded by American forces, after passing through several Taliban roadblocks. One of the SAS officers approached one of the US soldiers and informed him that they were british special forces on duty.

According to reports, the American couldn't believe what he'd heard the first time around and urged the soldier to "say it again." The elite crew was escorted to a room and to safety by US security after they disclosed their actual identity.
