Mate, correct, it is not the size of the dog in the fight , it is the size of the fight in the dog, Hope your channel succeeds ,enjoyed watching your reaction as a former Australian Soldier.
As a British soldier I always had a very high regard for the diggers. Same shit as us. Asked to do the impossible without the resources to do it. Still got it done. We both just had to burst our spleens to get it done.
I had a friend in the Royal Australian Navy. He told stories of target practice competitions against the US Navy…. Australia always won by being more accurate, with less shits. Why? Because we couldn’t afford to waste ammunition, so we tended to be more careful when aiming at the targets.
FACT: In WW1 on the western front in Europe, Australian forces were 10% of the allies but inflicted 25% of ALL casualties on the Germans as well as taking 25% of ALL territory taken off the Germans.
Many Australian families have a tradition of fighting in wars. My Great Uncle died in WW1 at Gallipoli, my Uncle was a Commando in WW2, my father & his younger brother flew in Korea, then the Malayan conflict & Vietnam. But I truly hope my son does not have to fight in the next war.
I hate to tell you this mate we should be in Ukraine right now fighting Russia but weak government whether you like it or not Australia has always taught bullies a lession why not now. I Australian although I like peace sometimes you have to make a tough decision something our goverment are to weak to do.
My family have served for over 150 years that I know of first served in the Zulu war boar war ww1 then ww2 hen Korea veitnam I'm proud to be Australian
As an ADF radio tech in1984 we had an air conditioned repair vehicle. As far as the new Bushmasters they have AC with multiple vents apparently also very comfortable!
And the Bushmaster has been highly prized by the Ukrainians during their current war against the Russians. It has been credited with saving many Ukrainian personnel in battle.
yes and we fought on the wrong side...we should have fought with the Boer's as most were just farmers {much like aussie farmers} and just fighting for there land...but the English did want those diamond mines lol
@Ragnar6000 don't fall for the propaganda. The Brits were suing for peace. The Boers escalated and it had little to do with diamond mines. We were on the winning side which, by historical standards, makes it the right side.
In WW2 Australia was instumental in defeating Italy and Germany in north Africa, provided thousands of aircrew to defeat Germany in Europe and alongside the US defeated the Japanese Navy and Army in the Pacific. In 1945 Australia had the fourth most powerful military in the world after America, Britian and Russia.
My great uncle fought alongside aussie soldiers in crete during WWII. He was so impressed with their fighting skills that when he was looking to immigrate, he asked about the brave soldiers he fought alongside with and by describing the slouch hat was told they were Australians. Yrs later he would bring his family and my mum over and the rest is history. During manoeuvres in the 90’s with the kiwis and americans the aussies would win most of them because the americans relied heavily on tech and we went old school. Fun fact 😂 Proud Aussie here 🇦🇺
The twin rotor helicopter (Chinook) has the front blades rotating clockwise and the rear rotates anti clockwise, allow the helicopter to fly straight and stable.
When the Boer War began all the 7 Australian States were self governing Dominions. Each state sent a military contingent that fought together, plus New Zealand, as the ANZACS. The 7 Dominions Federated during the Boer war and the Soldiers returned home to a new nation that didn't exist when they left. ANZAC:- Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
Australia army was known as The colonial forces in the late 1800s. Including during the Second Boer war 1899/ 1902. Then, it change to Australia And New Zealand army corps (ANZAC) that was formed in 1915 till 1918 it changed again to Australian imperial force (AIF) till 1980 when it officially changed to The Australian Army.
@@Nathan-yy2xsboth of you are close. Prior to Federation, they were Colony based "Colonial Forces". WWI started after Federation and the Australian contigent was the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF). The British High Command, uncertain how effective and how these colonials could be employed, lumped the Aussies and Kiwis together labelling the Formation the Australian New Zealand Army Corps or ANZAC. This was an Imperial military formation, not the name of the nation's military. The ANZAC was Army. The AIF was all inclusive, i.e..Army and Navy.
Australia military is actually to be larger over the next 2 decades or so with the Australian government announcement of increasing troops numbers and other personnel. The Royal Australian navy fleet size is also to triple with an order of more combating warship and nuclear powered submarines. Many of the Australian army eqwipment is also getting an overhaul. With the retirement of NH90 helicopter and instead getting upgraded blackhawk helicopters. Including 27 Apache attack helicopters to add to the fleet. HIMARS And MLRS rocket. Including K9 thunder 155mm self propelled howitzer artillery tanks. New drones some with AI assistance such as the stealh MQ 28 ghost bat unmanned fighter aircraft. Also known as the loyal wingman. New infantry fighting vehicles also will enter service in 2027 such as the K21 readback IFV that also has SPIKE LR2 missiles to replace the M1113 IFV. The Royal Australian air force oporate a number of combat aircraft such as FA-18F super hornets, FA18 Growlers, electronic attack aircraft including F35A stealth fighters. New 6th generation Air superiority aircraft is been looked at to purchase sometime in 2030s. Australia is in a military technology pack with UK and USA called AUKUS. Including Australia is part of the 5 eyes Nation with security sharing. With a joint military base in Australia between the USA and Australia called pine gap. Give Australia full access to American satellites for security purposes. Types of missiles eqwiped on Australian warships ESSM, SM2, SM6, tomahawk cruise missile, Navel strike missiles. Known as NSM, including torpedoes. Land air defence NSAMS including hypersonic missiles are been developed and other mobile anti ship weaponry The Australian army oporate a number of close in air defence systems and small arms with the Enhanced F88 Austeyr as the primary standard rifle for the Army produced locally in Australia. And a number of heavy machine guns. By 2040s Australia military will be the most powerful not just in Oceania but also outmatching south east Asia bring Australian militarily power ranking withing the top 12th in global firepower. The Australian SAS and the commando regiment are one of the worlds best special forces, equivalent to the USA Delta force and Green berate And the UK SAS.
@Lavendercn1951 people are joining up. But they are having difficulties finding enough. Maybe under different leadership things may change for the ADF to reach its targets. This is not just an Australian issue. Most Western nations are having the same difficulties.
Naturally, we can't say too much and what you are seeing is the obvious but we have lots of tricks up our sleeve. The world got a big surprise when we sent cardboard drones to help out in Ukraine. They can't be seen coming on radar, that is just one example. Every town in Australia has the old big guns from the different wars, ready to go, they can be bought back into service at a moments notice. Most are sitting in parks in every town, all over the country as memorials. If needed they are can be bought back to life very fast.
I was at a great vantage vision point over the Opera house for the daily medals presentation at night very night too see the SAS move in each night filled me with utmost respect and pride thank you boys
Come over....we aren't introverts we just get on and do our thing. Your media is probably (?) highly influenced by US media which is why you probably haven't heard much about Australia. Americans seem to think they are the only people who exist 😂😂.
size makes Australia resource rich :) literal land wealth.. also because Australia was a colony of England it helped protect England from the Germans in WW1 and WW2 also protected itself from Japan in WW2. Good reaction video from people who really don't know about the topic.. well done :)
Also by the Vietnam war starting, in Australia 🇦🇺 our troops did a longer training period than American troops. Your soldiers basically had barely any real training time, we said amongst us and the R&R boys we used to take in 4 or 5 at a time, and fact, every one of them were true gentlemen more so than us rowdy Australians. Yes we had a draft here too but it was a marble who was going in. I enlisted when i came of age, but a pimple on my butt was a rookie cop, be a smart arse, king hit me in the back of the head, i spun 3 hits and he was unconscious before he hit the ground, and then i saw his uniform. Then 6 cops grabbed me and fronted court next day, judge knew i was a set up, so no fine, but a court order no fists up or gaol. I could use my feet. But in 5 days i eas to go to basic, but that dickhead cop stuffed it, When W.O. came around and wanted me to go then, i said what for ,theyre starting to pull out.
2nd Boer war 1899 - 1902 SAR got a little worried with a big influx of foreigners coming in to settle and Boers got unsettled by English taking over the country. English and Aussies were practically military was twice as many than Boers , but lost twice as many than the Boers
Australian infantry soldiers are trained to a high standard equaling what American calls special forces. As the sas and commandos develop tactics the lessons learned trickle down to the infantry
You commented on troop carriers. We are currently building our own designed Korean based tracked Redback Fighting Vehicle & our tracked 155mm Artillery the Huntsman. ( Both named after deadly Australian spiders)🇦🇺😊
@@Nathan-yy2xs only if you then take of Australia's Antarctic and island territories it would be then. Alaska is 586,412 square miles where as Australia's Antarctic territory is 5.9 million square miles. Australia's territory is technically significantly larger.
Powerful enough, lightly in comparison to other countries, but what the aussie troops really have is a calculated cunning and knowledge to make the most of what they can get their hands on.
German general Rommel thought so highly of the Aussie and New Zealand troops that he said “ if I was ordered to take control of hell, I’d use the Australian army to take control and the New Zealand army to defend it”
Australia is almost the same land mass as America is and with the picture of the globe and in books it doesn’t show true sizes of all land. The USA seals came to Australia to train with our elite military team and they are SASR because the USA seals couldn’t believe how efficient and affective Aussie’s were in the dry heat of Afghanistan. The SASR cleared the way to critical points at the beginning of Afghanistan war
Australia is as big as the Continental US , guys. The Boer War (in South Africa). The ADF = The RAAF : Royal Australian Air Force ( my Dad was a WW2 Veteran, having served in PNG against the Japanese); the RAR : Royal Australian Regiment the Australian Army 🪖; the RAN : Royal Australian Navy .
WWI: Australia & New Zealand (ANZACs) were fighting in Greece and Ottoman Empire against the Turkish Muslims as auxilliaries to the British Army. See film, Gallipoli. WWII: Again Australia and New Zealand would get caught up but as force relief in the South Pacific and as relaxation bases for USN and USMC fighting against Japan. See miniseries, The Pacific.
The Malayan Emergency, also known as the Anti-British National Liberation War, (1948-1960) was a guerrilla war fought in Malaya between communist pro-independence fighters of the Malayan National Liberation Army (MNLA) and the military forces of the Federation of Malaya and Commonwealth (British Empire). The communists fought to win independence for Malaya from the British Empire and to establish a communist state, while the Malayan Federation and Commonwealth forces fought to combat communism and protect British economic and colonial interests. The term "Emergency" was used by the British to characterise the conflict in order to avoid referring to it as a war, because London-based insurers would not pay out in instances of civil wars. The Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation or Borneo confrontation (known as Konfrontasi in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore) was an armed conflict from 1963 to 1966 that stemmed from Indonesia's opposition to the creation of the state of Malaysia from the Federation of Malaya. After Indonesian president Sukarno was deposed in 1966, the dispute ended peacefully.
Chinook Helicopter uses counter rotating blades to negate the induced spin caused by rotor torque. Usually a vertical tail rotor is used. The reason for the modification was to add more lift through the downforce of horizontal counter rotating blades so it could carry more troops and lift heavier cargos such as mountain artillery and jeeps. It appears to be the only American design to use it and later helicopters used for large troop and cargo carrying went back to the usual configuration but with 2 turbocharged turbines.
Australia was founded as a penal colony after the US rebelled against Great Britain and they no longer had a place they could readily dispose of debtors or others they didn't want in the country but couldn't necessarily kill. It could be understood that the Royal Australian Navy were the first Australians to step foot on Australia to create a settlement after the indigenous. The Admiral would become Australia's first governor. Many of the early Australians were Irish, Welsh, and Scottish, but it would be easy to believe they were all poor. See the BBC miniseries, Banished.
