Intese archive footage from Afghanistan shows British troops in a heavy rooftop firefight with Taliban in Sangin, Afghanistan.

The troops are seeN engaging in heavy combat against a large force of Taliban.

The combat operation was held out by a joint force of British Paras & Royal Irish Rangers.

According to the source of the video everyone in a brown t-shirt was from the 51 Para Sqn RE and everyone in a sandy t-shirt was from the Royal Irish Rangers.

The siege of Sangin was a military engagement which occurred between June 2006 and April 2007, between Taliban insurgents and the British Army. In the engagement the district centre of Sangin District in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, was occupied by the British forces and was completely surrounded by the Taliban fighters. At one point fighting became intensive, causing General David J. Richards, the NATO commander in Afghanistan, to declare that Helmand province had seen the fiercest fighting involving British troops since the Korean War. It became emblematic of the difficulty of the mission being carried out by British soldiers in Afghanistan, who nicknamed it "Sangingrad" (in reference to the Battle of Stalingrad).
