  • The way soldiers are trained is likely the most vital factor when it comes to the British Army's ability to take on and win wars.
    This training, provided almost continuously throughout a soldier's career, makes the Army stand out and gives it the reputation it has around the world.
    Say what you want about its equipment or the size of the organisation itself, but where training is concerned foreign armed forces envy the British Army.

    Of course UK troops are fit to deploy. You just don't have anywhere near enough of them. It's embarrassing. UK gov't needs to make its UK military a priority, not a liability.

      @@meme4one Sure, but what I did see was a group of people, in the middle of a field, out in the open digging a waist deep hole with a few sandbags and pretend to have a battle against tanks.
      It doesn't matter which active conflict you look at today Ukraine, Israel, Burma, Yemen, Sudan both sides are making massive use of small drones.
      Doesn't matter if you are fighting insurgents or a major military like Russia drones are everywhere now.
      Even worse Russia has rendered a lot of our precision weapons useless.
      For example Ukraine was provided Excaliber GPS guided artillery. Russian EW adapted and the hit rate rapidly dropped to 4%, meaning it was costing $1.9 million to hit a target.
      Same problem with the GLSDB & JDAM-ER.
      Russian EW is defeating all of our fairly low cost precision weapons.
      I can't see any conflict in the future taking place where you can dig a hole in a field with no top cover, no EW and live long enough to talk about it.

    Well, you lot are in better shape than we are in Canada, successive Govts (both Tory and particularly Liberal) have slashed budgets and
    reduced the overall strength of the CAF over the last half century, to the point we are barely able to commit to more than one limited intl op.
    At least you are still reasonably well equipped (material & logistics), and have a Govt that is not willing to lose face completely before its allies.

    Let me get this right.... There are less than 23 infantry Battalions left, down from @60. There are less than 100 tanks left that can deploy, but we have a dedicated unit to test if troops are fit to deploy.... How can they deploy? What size would they deploy? In a real war the entire British *army would be killed within 2 months. Thats if they were able to borrow ammunition from other nations. Current ammunition levels would last less than a, week in a near peer conflict with China, Russia or Argentina.
    But never mind, as long as we can still supply wooden tops for trooping the colour.....
