12 mins nobody covering him if the camera can see him and no covering troops he is toast

Good old times

Is that town JAJCE

How were the aks and uniforms acquired?

This is why British soldiers are so relaxed in crisis situations

This is of course 'Tin City!' I did Civ pop & then Nitat training there in 88. I was a Corporal at the time & in charge of a section. I was shitting myself through most of the training but managed to blag myself through it. We were Tankies. We had the worst OC at the time, he was a twat. After we had completed our training it was 'piss up' time. He dragged us out of our pits & bollocked us for no reason?! When we eventually got to NI all he could manage was make us fill sandbags. Not that I'm bitter? Civ pop was hilarious, managed to smuggle an SMG past the troops. Fish & Chips, pubs & then onto battle. Killymurphy bricks.

The Porn tash alive and well in this

Fun Fact: This wasn't an actual BAOR training video, but a mockumentary lampooning British officers. It was based on a script by John Cleese, but after two years in development hell and multiple rewrites, it lost some of its humor and subtlety. It was considered a flop, as audiences simply couldn't be fooled into thinking that this was what World War III would look like on the Central Front.

Guys i think we are forgetting the Russian army in Ukraine is VERY FUCKING different from its Prime as the Soviets

1 magazine a bit parsimonious

Interesting mine clearing technique

A colonel giving a set of orders to Corporals, shouldn't Platoon Commanders got their orders from him and they in turn would have gave a set to their Section Commanders.

Issue Tissue …. same detail but with a pair of Danners, windproof, trop-trousers and a Berghuas Munro. Those were the days ….

underrated channel

Хорошее кино по тактике стран НАТО. Однако показаны только действия разведки и начала атаки Армии СА. Далее выявление всех огневых точек, их уничтожение, контрбатарейная борьба, применение химических и бактериологических веществ и на самой вершине тактического ядерного взрыва!!! 😂😂😂😂 В общем мало там всем не покажется... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

6:15

Total trip ,its crazy thinking we're all OLD now 😅 , total trip ,rip 🙏 all who left the party 🥳 early 🌎 , bricks and sangars 🇬🇧🤠🤟

One thing I think is missing from these staged battles is the what I would assume would be a nearly constant suppressive machine gun fire tank and APC and IFV coaxial weapons. They would be drenching the entire landscape and hillsides and any potential targets with machine gun fire that would be hard to simulate in the simulated combats done by live forces just the same way artillery is not easily simulated when you're doing maneuvers

10:15 what funny weapon is that which fires a anti-tank projectile but which recoil is backward in a seeming uncontrolled manner?

I like how they were taking the knee, way before their time

Look at these cucks lol great job

Sounds like someone said Blyat! at 16:35

Fascinating video on the one hand, but it seems unrealistic ... someone would have fired some nukes by about 3:00 into the clip.

8:10 being patrol

Propaganda .Soviets were not idiots to open in open field with exposed dismounted infantry

Whenever I go to the shops, I hard target out of the driveway.

Why was a Cpl leading a Recce Ptl for a Bn FUP? Where were the Officers? Mind you, the Cpl seemed to be highly experienced and knew what he was about. Running into an enemy minefield would freak me out!

They wouldve been been given a bloody nose...look how pathetic russia was in the Ukraine! Their tactics haven't changed!!! 😂 we had 3 days to hold em up...and i think we would've achieved that. 😊 yes, heavy casualties maybe but we had everything to fight for😉

Those daysacks! Put any decent weight into them and they cut your shoulders to bits. They were awful. But I don't think anyone who has served could say that they don't miss this shit. Good old days lads.

These 😂merciless bastards are always in place !. Do remember that these cunts are out to harm you personally 😂and individually 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Blimey, that takes me back! Remember it like it was yesterday. I wonder how today's generation of young soldiers would adapt their experience in Afghanistan, to doing this sort of thing in the British isles...

Now that's a proper colour DPM.

Must say desperately cheap housing one bullet could go through many before stopping. Then wooden fences you be in trouble if nasties where about.

20:00 "And don't be afraid to use civilians as cover." WTF?

Aw sweet memories of the NITAT training pre tour It was always fun doing civi pop in tin town

It would be interesting to know how long and to what effect formal military operations could have carried on had there been a complete nuclear exchange as was predicted for WWIII. If the major cities, bases, industry, infrastructure, etc. were destroyed by nuclear bombardment, one might surmise that at some stage effective combat units would cease to exist. The vehicles would stop running, supplies would run out, command and control would disintegrate, etc. Sheer survival alone might become the soldier's only remaining objective. I wonder how the NATO and Warsaw Pact leadership anticipated this and what their expectations were in such a scenario.

It's great how the British Army can adapt to changing circumstances. Fluid.

I used to watch the Army patrols as a kid in Northern Ireland. I was mesmerized at how they used to move. It was just normal, back then to see the Army on the street. I was never afraid of them because neither I nor my family had anything to hide. We always felt sorry for these young men, far away from home in a place where a lot of the people hated them. Later, I worked for the government for fourteen years and found out what it was like to be spat on, called an "Orange B*****d" and a "Brit", I had urine thrown at me, rotten eggs and a firework shot at me from a plastic pipe like a bosoka. My house and car were acid bombed and I was threatened by a terrorist organisation. These were terrible days and sad to say that the sectarian hate in Ireland has not gone away it is still lurking just under the surface both in the North and the South of Ireland.

Did a couple of tours in tin City lol plus one in W Belfast. I do not remember us having kids when we did civil pop

I think this might of been called tin City. That was one place they used before sending troops to that shithole

Never had ANY of the additional kit, totally balls. We went out as we were. Lucky to have more the 1 dressing, we had morphine. Honestly we had basic kit, as of Malaya. He thought were ok though. Sight setting, totally against SOPs and the Yellow Card. We really never had cover, apart from parallels. Subsequent tours, the infantry never wanted to provide cover to Signals troops, they did but, worthlessly. In S Armagh and E Tyrone we never wanted infantry cover as it was pointless. Depending on unit and time on tour they were often restrictive on their protection. Black Watch were certainly different, loved those boys. Queen's Company in XMG were more interested on their reds for the next job, they were adverse to any patrol. At the time we, 3 Bde didn't like ground cover. In 4 days, we went up every day and night, mg attacks every time, we had a job. Queen's Company, stayed inside XMG apart from when we did the Sq Sanger, well second time. There's a huge difference in prospective, some units are not the same

This video takes me back especially the ropey intro tune. The narration on many of these types of videos was done by the same bloke. I can remember in the mid 80s patrolling in combats because lightweight trousers were prone to melting if petrol bombed and the INIBA jackets were in use. Enjoyed my time in Ireland plenty of tea stops.

Having the weapon sights set for 200m makes sense in an urban environment but at that range a round from an SLR could go through a brick wall and still kill two people on the other side.

Brings it all back.

'should be smart and well turned out, this helps to instill confidence in themselves and impress the local people with their professionalism'...todays police force/service etc could do with a bit of this

The problem in Belfast was a round from an SLR could go through a house wall.

I thought it was tin city in Sennalager. I was there in 81...jesus... So long ago. 😮

is it just me or is the L1A1 SLR with an optic just epic ?

Who puts the sling on the stock attachment point? If they wrestle the rifle away from you, it will naturally point directly back at you. Boom, one dead squaddie. My unit, 2 Para, attached the sling to the weapon butt so in the same situation, if they got the weapon away from you, it naturally pointed at THEM. boom, dead terrorist.

A coworker of mine in the early 90s, Mary, was from Northern Ireland. She was a sweetheart but tough as nails. A bomb went off in Bishops(?) while I was in London over the weekend. I heard the blast and left amongst the chaos afterwards. I was checked by police twice. I was nowhere near the site but must have been within some radius. I remember dust and bits of paper falling down like snow. When I saw her on Monday she just laughed and said "Yer notta vergen no more!".
