- Royal Marines from 539 Assault Squadron worked their way through the Caledonian Canal in 2015. The Royal Marine unit is the only one in the country to tactically operate the hovercraft and offshore raiding craft.

I'm going to paraphrase a quote from Farseer Taldeer:
"You can never truly ambush a Royal Marine, only confirm their suspicions"
Love this quote
Stand with u uk. From nepal
good stuff m8
The Gurkha's were so tough that even the fanatical imperial japanese soldiers feared them
Ian Mangham oh how sweet of you
Jonathan Doe here in America we call it armistice Day or veterans Day..yeah I know what rememberable day is

Hello stranger lol
Without watching this video I know the answer to this question. Any enemy that ambushes a royal marine unit will meet their sudden demise! That is the only answer there is. And may God have mercy on their souls! Cheers from your brothers in the USA!
TheRjjrjjr except a good machine gun or several would have killed them all on those boats extremely easily.
and a marine would see them from miles away in an oppo
IGNITED STORM I don’t think so buddy. Not unless they are cooking up a storm and wearing high visibility work wear. Water ways are incredibly dangerous to travel down in war time. That’s why they go super fast.
Have a look at the patrol boats in Vietnam.
A couple of RPG's would have sunk those boats .
@Dennis Moore Appreciate your respect for my country mate . The British Army is placing those poor guys in a very dangerous position .Any ambusher with a couple of RPG's could easily sink those boats . Those Royal Marines need more firepower in their boats .Rule Brittania rule the waves .Respect to the British forces .
Thank you all for your service lads , Britains finest just doing there thing , thank you,
You simply don’t survive a well executed ambush. The SOP is to fight through and hope you’re aggression and momentum is sufficient . I ambushed a COY of Rangers whilst attached to the USMC during an exercise to ascertain worth of aforementioned units in leu of proposed cuts in their defence budget. We were an eight man section of Royal Marines (40 CDO, A Coy) and during a recce patrol had to take cover on a bank of high ground above a track that the Rangers were moving on. The last man spotted movement and as he further investigated we opened up and took out the whole Coy as they willingly and tragically entered into our snap ambush. A few slick mag changes later and the umpires had credited us with over 40 confirmed kills. As we patrolled back through our shared harbour position a USMC Major took off his Stetson and uttered the words “God damn you Royal Marines” Pantomime season had began in the cearribiean.
Great allies even though we fought for years in the past 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Did France betray UK in ww2
@@rommelgaba2494 Not really they just got over run by the third reich
@@rommelgaba2494 France wouldn’t let the Royal Navy take their ships after they got invaded so RN sunk em, I think.
BRAVO JOB! From a USA ARMY RANGER 77-79.1st Bn.
I used to haul the Royal Marines around in my C130, so glad you are on OUR side.
For glory and honor of UK
Greetings from india.
Mayank Prasad love to India mate!
From the U.K.
Thank you for forgetting our troubled past, 🇮🇳🤝🇬🇧
Mayank Prasad it is not lost on any of us that respect our armed forces that many thousands of our commonwealth brothers lost their lives in WW2 fighting for freedom. God bless you.
Great Episode. Enjoyed seeing the Caledonian locks again. I was there in May of this year!
I see all these comments comparing US and UK guys we are Allies enjoy the relationship. Work in partnership dont be against each other.
UK and US FTW.
Love the Yanks!
So dumb that people do that. If there’s a lesson to be learned then teach and learn it! Other than that, show respect! Proud to share the title of Marines with our Royal Marine brothers across the Atlantic! Semper Fidelis gentlemen! 🦅🌎⚓️
Agree
hell yeah 😍
And both of you failed
TRUMP 2020
Thank you for showing me drills i love watching all your vids and drills from Pakistan thank you british people big love
I like all of the military professionals who are correcting the Royal Marines... They must truly be good if they are better than the soldiers who are commonly referred to as the world's elite by most of Earth.
Forces TV need to do a tour of one of those hover crafts
My son served with the US Marines as a grunt with combat experience in both Afghanistan and Iraq but he had nothing but HIGH REGARD for the Royal Marines! To him the Royal Marines were MARINES! He also served with ROK Marines in S. Korea and was again impressed with their tough professionalism. World wide Marines are bad ass. Piss off the MARINES and expect double retribution!
Essential to maintain Royal Marine capability.
Myself and two other ex forces kayaked the Caledonia canal last year in 5 days was an experience 5 foot waves going past glengarry castle were fairly challenging
Thank you for your kayaking service.
insightful of marines operations and demonstrates its force projection any were in the world
Forces TV should be available on Freeview for our veterans.
Superb TV channel!
,
It is. Freeview channel 96. Do a rescan.
Thanks Socratease1! And indeed we are available on Freeview, channel 96. You might need to retune to find us: www.forces.net/forces-tv/everything-you-need-know-about-forces-tvs-move-freeview
I'd so love to stumble across this :-) Bloody brilliant :-)
I remember training in 92 and taking the vessels through all the lochs....good days!
40 years next April that I have been on a school trip (before graduating) up there, just going the other direction (hiking and by bus though) from Ft.William through Ft.Augustus along Loch Ness to Inverness. Fond memories... ;-)
If we had Americans budget God help u all😂😂😂
Daniel Larcombe yeah we’d be as strong but I still think they’d be stronger as they’re a way bigger country than us haha!
Remember when the British had an empire? Sigh.. Good times
Grunt TheRunt it’s because our country is being filled with leftist pussies
If the uk stops giving our money away to third world countries that turn on us we would have the money charity begins at home
Grunt TheRunt because you can afford it but the British soldiers are more disciplined and have training all around the world
1:51 he looks a lot like the marine from the royal marine boot camp series
To our allies in the UK military, Good Show! US proud to be your partners.
Real quality.......but we need far mote of them!
So, will the RM be ready to deploy to the coast of Belgium on 1st November 2019?
;-)
FUND THE BRITISH MILITARY MORE. PLEASE!!!!!
ye we need more funds for the nhs, police and fire departments before the military. But there is a way to up the funds on all. It's called raising taxes on corporate companies.
@@nick123nak6 and schools
@@NoahR-di1nu Have any of you three ever looked at public expenditure?
Education Receives twice what the military does and the NHS receives nearly Four Times as much.
The NHS has an issue of too much bureaucracy which is costing them, the last thing they need is more money.
@@ohnolookwho241 I have to disagree. Both of my parents are doctors working in the NHS and they need more money. They always will.
Nick123Nak exactly. ‘They need more money. They always will’. It will never enough. For a so-called ‘Superpower’, compared to other superpowers we have an awful military. If the Arggie’s wanted to attack the Falklands, they could very well do that as we don’t the resources to cover such distances.
Awesome bravery
Great troops. An ambush normally means a hail of gunfire and RPGs though. They should simulate that with non-lethal munitions to give themselves even more of an edge.
Thats why you counter with more firepower then them
Them boats are..... Amazing. God bless the SAS, RAF, Marines.
What about the army?
What about the SBS?
The view from the Dores Inn just got a lot more entertaining
I'm surprised to see how little armour-plate protection there is for the soldiers. Surely firing through loop-holes or slots would be a much better idea?
Get on lads, my Dad was in 40 commando, after 20yrs he medically discharged himself due to having lupus, can't tell you how much he misses the corp.
2:14 you might recognise the face from Lympston training documentary.
5:15 also shows another familiar face (on the far left of the group)
I see from some of the comments here an affirmation of my first impression, that it would be unwise to stop your boat in front of an ambush. In this sitting duck response, the enemy would have a field day after disabling the first boat with RPGs. And having a hovercraft, which is an exceptionally vulnerable craft, attempt to rescue survivors in front of this hell on water, would turn out to be a lesson the Royal Marines would not have to learn twice.
Depending on whether or not the ones doing the ambush have a DSHK.
So you expect ambush with small calibre guns?
Don't think they would stand a chance with their heads on show like that 😂😂
If you get ambush with RPG's and machine guns when you do not expect it, the outcome will always be the same. RIP
No
Lol wouldn't want to see a boat filled with a bunch of green lids coming towards you
I love the UK military but dont ambushes usually start with explosives now a days
Robert Whitstone - They do, and then get the hell out before they get killed!
Difficult to rig pyro on water
ahhhh so marines don't walk on water, they use boats! just kidding I'm very proud of all our armed forces.
Ethan D what do you mean? Those "boats" are actually just ten marines taped together, swimming, providing a platform for the other marines who are resting.
Good men
what if enemy has 4 sniper what they gonna do shoot at no where and hope to kill them while squad getting gratatata
LEGEND uchiha - Then the Royal Marines will take casualties.
They will just drive on. There is a big chance that they would spot the sniper and kill them
anyone else notice recruit Dilliway from royal marines commando school 2:14
This movie came out quick!Am I the only one that finds the Jack Ryan interesting?
A good tactic if you are being attacked with spud guns!
Strange tactics to stop in the kill zone? Wouldn’t you want to speed through and give it al the fire you got while getting out from it
One RPG 7 and your gone to heaven.
😂😂😂
Yeah, how much training did you get in the sas in this?
Semper Fi! We few, we happy few.
Mr. Wunderful Semper Fi brother 🦅🌎⚓️
Ok I dont ride around in boats since I am a cav, but why stop in front of an ambush? We ride CV90, much similar to your Warrior and we would not stop in front of an ambush but get away, then land troops for a counter attack. Is this tactic real or just made up for TV? We would not run, but use the time to attack from two angles, this stuff just looks too dangerous. BTW I am a Norwegian so I wish these blokes a warm welcome, that is the only warm thing they will get if they come during the winter.
I'm sure they've got other tactics, this is just how they'd act when trying to cover a landing when there's no option of relocating.
Oh well I have no idea what exactly they was drilling right there and then, things often look random until its explained.
@@hfrendal5374 It's probably the fire superiority doctrine. Puff up your muscles until the enemy can't even shoot back or they back down completely. But personally if anyone would ambush gun boats they would have heavier hitting weapons, I wouldn't stop
Depends on the ambush, if infantry you charge it. Quickest way out of an ambush is straight at the enemy. I suspect that if you are on water you have little cover so maybe the best tactic is to fight it out.
Whos the reporter, nice voice :)
How do you know where the enemies are?
You listen to where the loud bangs are coming from, then send some louder bangs back!
They should get some CB 90 HSM
Can someone tell me whats the name of the weatsuit they are wearing ?
Jorge F - They look like drysuits, just search Royal Marine Commando Drysuit and it’s likely you’ll find it. More than likely it’s a civilian system that they’ve repurposed for military use, as opposed to a worked up military design.
I don't think so that they will stop for being ambushed from an unidentified location.
Give them hell gents💪👍
Depends if it’s by Phillip Hammond then they are in trouble
Remember bros that you have a new enemy high flying drones.
You can evade Beaches and rivers but drones can be leval.
3:36 rip ducks
The marines are dressed for the Arctic and the local lock keeper is walking about in a t-shirt! 😂😂
Shows how much "you don't know" the Marines are wearing waterproofs which keep them dry whilst in the water.
you'd hope they would be wearing more than a t-shirt if they were fighting a war...
... Hardy Bunch the Scots :). Don't they say, the further you go up the country of Britain, the hardly/more suited are the men, and I guess now, women, as fighting soldiers, general talking but of course :).
He's scottish, they might be marines but these ones aint scottish marines ;)
Quite indeed, plus there on the actual water, he simple the shore :)
2:14 Is that Dillaway from Royal Marine commando school??
I see it too lad, quite possibly
I sometimes wonder if the British Military high command learned the lessons of the Falklands war - the shameful lack of speedy deployment - that crucial logistical dynamic of getting troops from ship to shore? As an ex merchant mariner, and fortunate to have left my ship only weeks before it was commandeered by the British Government; and, sent with the task force. I still feel pained watching the news-reel shots of the 'St Galahad' going up in flames, and the the thought of 80 odd men sacrificed needlessly. All because of the unconcern and arrogance of regimental senior officers who should have known better. The British squaddie is up there among the best - but for all his training and dedication - only as effective as those in command.
William Rance the politicians don’t want to spend money until they have to and by then it’s too late.
What no mini guns on their boat. Fifty cal =600 rounds per minute... SAR 500 rds per minute. Mini Gun 3300 rounds per minute
hover craft has a bit of a list, Not recommended for battle use due to its cushion of air being vulnerable to puncture. Get rid of them.
Go firm in the kill area....good idea
What about the monster in the lake
What if it was a coordinated ambush with rpgs? would they still slam on the brakes?
Kickyour If they've got RPGs they clearly already knew your route. If they have RPGs and knew your route, what's to say they haven't got mines or a roadblock in place? Whats to say they haven't rammed you up the arse so you can't go back the way you came with a semi or two?
By learning how to hunker down and attack aggressively, and drive them off or kill them, that's your safest route.
Kickyour if they have rpgs you are already dead before you know it
@@statiq1941 If they ambushed you they already knew your route.....
@@ShopeeMarketteam Not necessarily, they simply know one point you're likely to go through and have planned around it being a choke point. Or, hell, maybe they were just lucky and slammed you with small arms fire when they saw you accidentally
Alucard talaban cant shoot if their life depended on it, luckily
Marines are cool fan of that paras but the marines are boss too
But, are their hovercrafts full of eels?
the funny part is that even that they are e big target they cant be shot but in real the will be headshot
Armbushies are not drilles bcs in the momnet when enemy start fire you have 75% chance to be dead
how do you counter someone pouring RPGs on you like water, you don't you run and escape the killzone!
Veldtian1 - In that case the Royal Marines take casualties. They would have to be quick and call in air support that would hopefully be on standby.
They call in the RAF Reg
Lol they stand on guard at the gates to the bases. There good at checking I'd 🤭
... and nobody saw the monster?
I’d imagine a giant pile of dead enemy combatants. Don’t mess with men from the 5 I’s.
They’d call in the U.S. military for backup. The U.S. military is the most powerful military ever.
RPGs would finish this before it even starts
How?
Home security is important 🙂😊
We have a small army but probably the most professional one, however that was the case before the great war, by all accounts our boys were as good if not better than anything the Germans had, unfortunately due to lack of numbers most had perished by 1915,
Tactical skiing goggles are tactical
By all means let's have the US marine corps and the Royal Marines along side each other BUT please train the USMC guys not to talk so much and so loud. I notice that 1952 equipment differ so much from 1991 onwards kit.
GO Go Per Mare Per Terram
These Marine Units are vulnerable to RPG's.
Crate for kenny!
I don't get it, wouldn't they be sitting ducks out there? and how the hell can that boat sustain gunfire and not sink?
They let the enemy watch thier strategy..I hope this is just a diversion or decoy
It does not matter if the enemy know it.
Well good luck to that
British version of SWCC.⚓
Hiding in the trees across the LOCK?
Nah
Loch
Lock, it's a river lock
Try that in the Philippines to experience actual combat. I do not know if you survive if the enemy have RPGs.
3:35 poor little ducks
What is the accent of the officer at 05:52 pls ?
j Kara sounds like a normal London accent with a little twang of something. Maybe he wasn't raised in London
looks like you guys would get rekted in those boats, sitting ducks
Big Corpas hired muscle
One does not simply ambush a royal marine
Is it really a good idea to publicly show military practice?
You could do better ... TEST THEIR METTLE... SHOOT AT THEIR TIRES !!
OH WAIT,.... I GUESS THEY MIGHT BE OFFENDED....
AND BE MORE ACCURATE, TENACIOUS, HAVE MORE STAMINA, AND BACKUP.
You should just watch calmly.
Not like they are showing anything top secret lol. Basic military strategy that anyone with any combat training or battle experience would know. That was a cute comment though ☺️
The English know how to wear berets. It looks awesome! 5:41
Paul Tunnell
Why the Yanks went to berets is anybody's guess... !
"berets" that will be French then.
British!
Nothing a Apache wont sort out
I thought the answer was to spend time on Iranian tv??
One well placed RPG would put an end to this optimistic BS. If you want to clear the river bank to small arms fire you have to walk the banks.
