Armed SAS troops have reportedly been deployed to key positions in busy streets across the UK, with hopes that the tactic will have soldiers poised for any unfolding terror attacks.
One source told The Mirror: "The view is there are so many homeless people out there undercover operators will remain safe and anonymous.
[...] Another source claimed to the paper that the operation had been ongoing for "some time", with soldiers stationed around transport hubs and shopping centres.
Soldiers from the Counter Revolutionary Warfare Wing have reportedly been drafted for the operation.

In 2014, I think I encountered one between a supermarket and a transport hub. Always wore very clean natural cotton sportswear like an undercover police officer trying to look ghetto. Outright prick and suspiciously good at fighting. Gave me tips to not lose my next fight.

Obviously their strategy has paid off handsomely, since there haven't been any successful terrorist attacks since 2014.
