  2.  @PaxBritannica34563  Talib would have got thousands of thermal scopes left behind by America.

  4. An Admiral with an afghanistan medal from a landlocked country... makes you think. A mighty warship with a fine history of battles, glad to have her back in service.

  5. The army was offered left handed SA80 models and they said no

  11.  @rogueriderhood1862  "There were left handed SA-80's offered to the MOD when they were buying the A2's. I have here a letter from the MOD - don't ask me why, but I do. To cut it short it says that they turned down left handed A2's because they wanted any soldier to be able to pick up any weapon on a battlefield and be able to use it. That is straight from the horses mouth. They obviously felt that the benefits of being able to fire lefty were not worth the bother."

  12. We drive or tab in miles why is everything in this video in kilometres

  13. Personally I think giving everyone an iphone is missing the point of infantry, and strapping it on the chest is a poor choice - no more "prone position down". Integrate it into the weapons system. Buying another 5.56 weapon is a bizarre choice when 6.8mm is the future NATO round. Glad I left when I did before Virtus too.

  14. When I joined the army's values were Courage, Discipline, Respect for Others, Integrity, Loyalty and Selfless Commitment. Now they're probably equality, diversity, tolerance, compassion and love. But what can you do when parliament is run by Marxists from Davos.

  15. Inflation means money can't buy as much as before

  16.  @splatoonistproductions5345  I'm not saying the army wants such few numbers. I'm saying the politicians don't care, because ultimately we have nukes and we're a maritime power. Our army is only fit of limited interventions such as peacekeeping or counterterrorism, no politician is planning a war.

  17. Every day when the employees leave the factory: SIR I HAVE NO LIVE AMMUNITION BLANK AMMUNITION EMPTY CASES OR PIROTECHNICS IN MY POSESSION SIR!

  18. "Putin's hordes" at least show some respect. Our 100 challys with nackered barrels would have been destroyed 10x over by now in Ukraine.

  19. How do we deal with drones: Russia: "give the troops shotguns" UK: "multimillion pound international procurement deal for a new sighting system after we bought ACOGS and ELCANS"

  20.  @harveysmith100  That's how you know Britain has been fighting wars of convenience since the 80's

  21.  @splatoonistproductions5345 I'm not saying what I think, I'm saying what's actually going on. The army's numbers have been cut in every review since the 90's.

  22. We should have better kit than the Taliban ;)

  23. Presumably this will be used on the boats in the channel... Oh no it won't. It'll be used to disrupt the balance of power.

  24.  @Benjd0  We did it in 1944. America did it more in 1945.

  25. We shouldn't be in the middle east, and I say that as somebody who was deployed to Afghanistan twice. You cannot give people enlightenment values, they must be learned through struggle, as we learned them.

  26. The point of all this gear is that they can reduce down even further from 33 battalions. They want 10,000 soldiers not 90,000.

  27. 5.56 is a let down though. This doesn't bring anything new to the table.

  28. So these are in the English Channel defending British people, yes? No. They defend the interests of the global elite. The navy was made irrelevant to Britain's defence when human rights legislation was passed saying we aren't allowed to shoot invaders.

  29. Two lies in one sentence 🤣

  30. 10,000 troops to be lost this year, including infantry battalions.

  31. Just another 5.56 rifle that is effective at 300m. Emphasising direct impingement is a subtle acknowledgement that the SA80 was a failure. I guess we don't need bayonets anymore at least?

  32. 🤣
