our armed forces are top notch. shame our politics and politicians are nothing short of disastrous.
As a serving soldier, the only "threat" we could defeat with brigades this size are small groups of insurgencies. It's actually scary how few troops and equipment we have left
my old bttn and did you notice only 4 dismounts out of the warrior.... reason for this is they dont have anymore available. Severly undermaned and all senior soldiers have signed off. The future is bright and it speaks russian
Massive respect for what they are having to do under recent cuts, and I know that the British army is one of the most professional and experienced forces out there, but I really don't like the fact how they are cutting back on actual heavy armour MBT's, and replacing them with IFV's/APC's... A war with Russia in Europe will not be like Afghanistan, the UK and Europe as a whole needs to be prepared for a 2008 Georgia style invasion scenario.
I like the new helmets
ready to defend Gibraltar
The British stands at 77,000 with 23,000 reservists. Not good enough. Get back to 150,000 regulars and 60,000 reserves like we had in the eighties.
@Forces TV Hypothetically where would you put... Airborne tanks?
WELL DONE to ALL of them. :)
watch all the Americans come out now and insult the British army and tell us all how the U.S are the best
The Senne Training Area is a great place, well managed for military use and fantastic for nature.
GOOD LADS
The "Heavy Brigade" s a bit little on when it comes to MBT's - and therefore useless in any conventional war.
Lead heavy brigade is a little light on heavy equipment
US * UK oorah
Good.
No challengers available then?
Brand new armoured brigade yea right out of date equipment with obsolete systems
This is the state of our forces? A small reaction force & not even main battle tanks. Ridiculous
why go with afghanistan haha
