  1. Respect to every one of them.

  2. Barracks, airfields, all the same. "We are not using them, so let's close them." All very well until circumstances change.

  4. Damn those guys think of everything. They are even flying with fish-eyes on military exercises!

  5. When he says "'mobile crematorium machines" he is referring to their tanks.

  6. ​ @albertdula9799  Won? No member of the armed forces is certain to fight, that's the nature of the job. When they are called to fight though, they do it rather well.

  7. Respect and thanks for helping keep us safe.

  8. Now we need a mobile, land based version of the ASTER/Samson system from the Type 45.

  9. You do know that comments like that just make you sound stupid right?

  10. Because the European helicopter really is junk, just ask the Aussies about NH90.

  11. What utter drivel. Turn off its radar and the F35 has electro-optical sensors and data coms that make it an excellent recce aircraft. Whoever said the F35 was an air superiority fighter? That was never its role.The yanks have the F22 for that (though not enough) and we have Typhoon.

  12. Pretty poor effort and unworthy of Forces News.

  13.  @t0xiicliberator696  Well only the crew if Santa's bringing them.

  14. What makes you believe that you are important enough to be tracked?

  15. Well done ladies. 👍

  16.  @daviddoran3673  They said that about Germany in the 30's

  17. Problem I fear is that Sunak will want a treasury "Yes man" rather than the best person for the job. The country need someone who will fight their corner.

  18. Pity we get so little for what we spend.

  19. I doubt it will be air launched, it will not have been certified for their aircraft.

  20. Can't blame them. I would feel the same way if I lived on the border of Mordor.

  21. ​ @bobsemple9341  Who are you to decide who can and cannot speak?

  22. Why? If they were going with a naval version of a land missile they would have chosen Brimstone.

  23. Not necessary. US Marines/RM would be more than capable of undertaking the task.

  24. That's what I was thinking, what a stupid statement.
    7
  25. Why? The F35 as a far more capable aeroplane.

  26.  @N75911_  It was a joke mate :)

  27.  @wrightypegz8997  :)

  28. I just hope that the cost of all this help is coming from the treasury and not the defence budget.

  29.  @Cynthia_Blackraven_666  Which their pilots are not trained to fly, let alone fight with.

  30. I would like to see a land based version of Samson/Aster 30 to defend against possible cruise missiles, air or sea launched.

  31. F35s are arriving as fast as they can be built.
    6
  32. Is that why they are still advancing?
    6
  33. Of course, why would a wild weasel pilot understand about surface to air capability 🙄
    6
  34. People are so naïve over EMP. A lot of military equipment has been hardened against it, dating back to the cold war days.

  35.  @jackcloud4728  Nothing to do with political correctness. If an individual soldier meets the standard they should be allowed to join. If they don't then they are out, male or female.

  36.  @sammiemakki9339  It is not prohibited to use against entrenched positions, even if those positions are in a forest or treeline.

  38. Flat earther alert!

  39. I can't help feeling that is a mistake, the A400 seems a bit big for some roles. I would love to know what the pilots think, especially those involved in covert insertion etc.

  40. Until the Russians show debris from Storm Shadow/ATACMs strikes. Now, supplying Western components is less of a problem, given that Russia uses similar components in its weaponry.

  41.  @dubiumguy  If that price is true then that is indeed a good price when compared to S300 etc.

  42. What is the cost of MALD compared with say a Banshee target drone?
    5
  43. By "Handle" do you mean walk into a school and start firing?
    5
  44. We don't really need nuke carriers. I would take more T45's but even the US are now building frigates. Two or three more Astute's would be nice though.
    5
  45. How do you know, or do you think those images were actually the real thing?
    5
  46. Well that will p-off the trolls 😂

  47. As long as the Treasury provides the money to replace the kit we are sending.

  48.  @johnstevens213  You are wrong. For the record the USS Virginia was laid down in September 1999 and commissioned in October 2004. HMS Astute was laid down in January 2001 but not commissioned until August 2010. They are therefore contemporaneous in design.

  49.  @Angry.General1461  We have armed police when we need them. Military stocks do appear to have been allowed to drop too low though if rumours are correct.

  50.  @Will-Alee  Many of the ferry pilots that took aircraft from the factories to the RAF airfields were women.
