    650 from THREE nations! that is pathetic, I served on Lionheart and Crusader, that was 10s of thousands, my Regiment alone had 400 plus!

      The Reserves, nowadays, are simply BCRs. Gone are the days of entire Territorial Regiments with proud histories back to WW1 & WW2.

    Do you know this number is not enough to sustain heavy operations for a week to defend a town in battle conditions like Ukraine

    Sorry, but if you consider moving a couple of vehicles from York to Germany and 10-12 coaches of people to Germany (that can be done with a double manned bus crew in one hit) is absolutely pathetic.
    And Jackals are completely obsolete for modern warfare where FPV drones are flying around in droves. It's basically a death trap. And no jamming device will provide the required safety because Russians are constantly changing frequency they operate on.

    • @Orbital_Inclination
      @Orbital_Inclination 4 месяца назад

      People who use the word obsolete when discussing the military rarely actually have a clue how warfare works.
      Jammers don't always just have one stationary frequency, they can hop across wide bands depending on what the Russians are using.
      Also, drones aren't the ultimate solution to every problem people seem to think they are, just another threat to be countered

      @@Orbital_Inclination with all due respect, when you will have sent 250+ vehicles from a quad to four axle low loaders to carry howitzers to Ukraine. Spoken with people who actually use them on 0 and in some cases behind enemy lines I have a pretty good picture about what works and what doesn't.
      I'm talking here about near peer enemy not some flip flops in Afghanistan with 0 airpower or Iraqis with obsolete weapons and poor training and limited motivation.
      Oh, and you have 0 knowledge about jammers on vehicles also. Based on your argument about changing frequencies. If NATO countries would have a good solution then Denmark and a couple of other member states wouldn't be so keen on buying the product a Ukrainian company has developed recently.

    As in the previous video - underwhelmed - Lionheart involved 39,500 Reservists ! We seriously need to revitalise and properly fund our Army Reserve as part of the Strategic Review - current training levels of 28 days per year are a very sick joke !

    • @wessexdruid7598

      They weren't Reservists, as such - they were Territorials. Deploying entire trained units, capable of operating independently, many with long histories of service through both World Wars. The Reserves now just provide extra manpower for Regular units.

    Good decision by the MoD to retain the camp at Sennelager and the surrounding training area, proving really useful for practicing movements to the Continent, training opportunities and a forward operating base for further deployment to the Baltic States etc..

      It was a composite Battalion / Battlegroup made up of units from across half of the Brigade. The other half of the Brigade has troops on other training activities this year and will take their turn next year. A load more will have been using their 2 weeks training to complete career courses. Others from the Brigade are deployed on tasks as individual augmentees supporting the Regular Army as well.
