The budget and production quality of these videos is getting better and better. Starting to match the Royal Marines. Keep it up!
And that's the only way they'll ever match the Royal Marines!
Just need to boot out the corporate woke recruitment style/policies at Army HQ and public image might be restored!
To be honest their is some excellent content in this production and along with the rest of the series to cut and splice into a realistic ! recruitment video , instead of the last one which was an expensive disaster !
WELL DONE to them I wish I was still in 63 Sqn to do this. Thank you. 👍
Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) is a game changer.
It looks like the Army is taking a hint from gamers.
Situational awareness, waypoints A to B
Love it
The US SOF have used it for 10 years. Works extremely well.
As a man who spent much time working Clansman Radios I am super impessed with the kit these chaps have. Great to see the army has some good kit these days.
That can be pieced together by most ham (amateur ) radio enthusiasts,where do you think the ideas come from?
Belize 93, sent young lads up trees with a dipole to try and get signal…Jesus….how did we manage?….
Were you RM or RHF?
Thanks for your service!
‘No comms, no bombs’ .. great production 👍
Brilliant stuff, great work. Top job 216!
Very tough job! Looks like a really valuable training exercise, finding problem areas or where things are not working are probably the most valuable lessons you can have. Really impressed with the Major, who didn't feel the need to use jingoism or those trotted out phrases that so often get used. I wonder if he was commissioned or rose through the ranks?
Amazing advert, wish I could join!
Bloody brilliant.
I see no one is talking about the squaddie sharpening his parang with the sharpener resting on his thigh 😬 he should be using a log to rest on 🙄🙄
Looks cool tho
@chriswashingtonbeats bleeding out in the jungle from a severed femoral artery because he's a knob for using his leg is very very uncool
Major Craddock (ex BATSUB) would be apoplectic it he saw that.
The hardest art of jungle work is to move quietly. Trails are packed down and tend to be firm footing but if you follow it, you will eventually be killed by ambush, by mines, or injured. So, staying off trails is staying alive and ready to conduct a defeat or two. Moving like that means brushing against brush and large leaf bushes which make noise and move when touched revealing your position exactly.
The underfoot material is often noisy because you cannot see what is underneath of what you see as a good a spot for good foot placement. You have to test it first before full weighting to see if what can't be seen will crackle, snap, or pop which will alert enemy - or if it is just a hole to twist your ankle or a trap ...
It is slow, slow and cannot be done at night which means going way, way slower if you do, even with NVGs... You can only travel short distances during daylight and thus you can only hold out for a very little time after food runs out and you don't want to eat off the land: that reveals where you've been and that is a trail that can be followed.
Then, there is the fauna aspect of waking at night to realize a 1¾Lb cockroach inspecting your crotch ...
Jungle training is not for sissies.
I am a military interpreter, I listen to this channel for training purposes on military interpretation... How difficult!!!... I am from Jordan in the Middle East. Welcome me please... ❤
I remember carrying a clansman radio onto of a bergen as a kid. 😂
Genuine Question,
SA80 being used as using Blanks or ? Do the Airborne Signallers generally use the C8?
Having used the pile of crap that was Clansman, this kit looks fantastic!
RIP bowman
Would love to join British Territorial Army
Will we be loosing the ability to fight effectively if EMP weapons are used ?
Ah yes, all those EMP weapons out there must be a real danger.
ATAK seems pretty amazing but what happens when a patrol get rolled by the enemy and the Russians are looking at the whole tactical picture?
I bet they never thought of that scenario 😂
Each unit is passworded two strikes and its wiped and locked all software can be remotely erased and will just transmit the GPS location of the unit.
Have you ever come across a 'password' or 'failsafe system'? Lmao
@@ethanwashington60 Much use to be a 24-hour cryptic fill which was bs and unpractical in operation. Clansman was completely dog sh8t to the user. I can talk old hat such as Crucible and Vengeful , a sophisticated computer which can record details of vehicles and their movements vehicles as identified and those of concern. Go to GCHQ little man that's where the NSA go. Lmao . Have a nice day and go sup some BUD light. Take care good sir
Russians? The Russian military is a joke. Get yourself in the sea
I cant believe I just saw a dude sharpening a machete on HIS LEG! That is just asking for trouble....
Also. Get greener cams. You're in the frigging jungle not the desert.

With your communication systems becoming smaller and handheld, how do you ensure that you don't lose them in the heat of action?
Lanyards?
NACHTA GUARDI PARLIAMENTAI
USAFE have been using that type of Harris transceiver for the last 15 years !
I even saw Army Cadet Force, at Blandford learning radio procedures with this type and the old prc 349, & 320 in 2012.
Something does not ring true
The u.s. army is the best.
Why the hell are you leaking all this intel?
Its not secret when any amateur radio enthusiast does this for fun RF electronics isnt just an old CB from 1978.
Ow look a mobile phone 😅
Ugh... just seeing someone carrying a heavy bergen in the Jungle makes me nauseous.
Hats with wings…..😊😊😊😊😊
No comms no bombs....You must be a walt mate....
@@thequietprofessional8435
"Hat" is a common slur used by paras who will lay bricks and stand outside nightclub doors after theri service.
Do NOT feed the crayon-eaters!
@@thequietprofessional8435 Yep, that’s me. Walty McWaltface 🥸🥸😂😂
What the hell is that an army of the British army so bad yeah on the French German and Italian military is the best
Syntax and grammar are new concepts to you?
@@lachlanchester8142 😂😂
Funny how the British army beat the Italian and Germans while the French surrendered
Hahahahahahahah…..fanny….
Who do you think you were fooling with that Norse code ass comment 💀💀
Guys, you are opening yourself to being prosecuted, do not follow this .
Are you High?
What happened to real soldiers? Too much Iphone/smart phone b0ll0x!
