    OC Dragon Coy is absolutely spot on. There is NO substitute for ‘live’ fire training.
    Come on the MOD, start properly investing in better live fire, namely urban & urban-to-rural facilities and ideally one by the coast at least. A good spread of live fire skills houses that can be used throughout the training estate would also be a very good upgrade for ‘all’ manner of units.
    A few years ago the best individual, or at the very least right up there, live fire skills house burnt down, and to my knowledge (I really hope I’m wrong🙏) it’s not been replaced with anything near as good or that offered the same training opportunities that the destroyed facility had offered.
    Tight now, more than ever surely, is a very important skill that all of the above need to train to operate in. This needs to be at a very high standard and as realistic as humanely possible. This can only be achieved in a live fire environment. The more comfortable someone is with a their personal weapon(s) loaded, ready and at the same time working in very close proximity with others with the same, the more focused they become on the job and the less it effects judgement etc. That takes training. Lots.
    It should also mean not necessarily having to go abroad or travel to the other end of the country from camp to get too😳 🚎 🤮

      @@paulmcgee1867 cost saving, pure and simple, it was argued we should exercise on Russia's doorstep but we just don't have the live fire space in Europe to carry out true BG manoeuvre I guarantee the arcs for those challys are miniscule and incredibly restrictive.
