  1. I remain convinced that there are still genuine WW2 German tanks and vehicles left abandoned out in the depths of Russia/Ukraine. Maybe abandoned in some remote wood land and now long over grown or sunken in a river or lake.
    3800
  2. UK here. The US president is a complete and utter moron.
    2000
  3. How the Brexiteers persuaded the UK that we could have the best bits of the EU without membership never did make sense. The EU would never allow a member to leave yet still have EU benefits to do so undermines the whole purpose of the EU.
    842
  4. Putin is the best recruiting officer that NATO has ever had.
    481
  5. Its getting bad, Bolton is starting to sound reasonable.
    440
  6. The strange thing is why the Russian tanks are operating in single vehicles
    428
  7. The most disappointing thing about so many Tory MPs quitting is that we won't see them getting humiliated at the ballot box.
    370
  8. Bully expects sympathy and to gain from the war he started. No chance.
    284
  9. One thing for sure, all of the islands maps are now out of date.
    255
  10. As Lofty Wisemen said 'Did he take part in the Iranian Embassy siege? No, but he knew 120 guys that did'
    208
  11. Except the Ukrainians can't use true NATO combined arms tactics, they don't have control of the air. It was unrealistic of NATO to expect Ukraine to use NATO tactics with out the required air support. Its wise to withdraw the Abrams, there is no point in taking unnecessary loses.
    208
  12. Hopefully the new Chancellor will have more guts than Scholz
    181
  13. Glad to have you in NATO - UK
    163
  14. if Trump/America has no interest in Europe then why is America being allowed to negotiate?
    155
  15. When I was a kid in the 1970s there was a Polish chap who lived along our road. I was too young to understand the significance or know what his story was. He married an English girl and settled and had a family. My parents were of the WW2 generation and had nothing but respect for the Polish people in my part of the UK. It is something that I have carried over into my life, The UK has much to thank Polish people for their WW2 service in helping defend the UK and fighting as part of the Allied war effort.
    145
  16. Time for the west to deal with Russia more robustly.
    143
  17. One thing Ukraine will now never do - stop wanting to join NATO and the EU.
    143
  18. Russia must accept it has no say in what alliances Ukraine makes.
    143
  19. Its simply extending the war not to allow Ukraine to attack any Russian targets it wants to.
    136
  20. NATO made a mistake before the war started. Instead of ruling out getting involved with the war, NATO should have maintained vague on the answers - leaving the Russians unsure if NATO would fight with Ukraine. It just might have stopped the war starting.
    119
  21. A woman who's ambition far exceeded her actual abilities. Finally caught out and removed from public life.
    119
  22. NATO made a mistake before the war started. Instead of saying NATO would not get involved in the fighting, they should have been vague on the issue, so Russia didn't know if NTO would come to Ukraine's aid. It might have caused Russia to think again about invading.
    102
  23. There is no point in sending small numbers of vehicles to allow Ukraine to hold the ground and defend. They need enough vehicles to put together a offensive battlegroup that can advance and clear ground in the coming summer fighting. Otherwise the war will just drag on.
    101
  24. A healthy country is a wealthy country. America is a poor country exploited by a few rich people.
    100
  25. All part of the dereliction of duties for defence by all UK governments over the past 40yrs
    97
  26. When inflation was going up - Tories its outside of our control. Inflation coming down - Tories, our policies are working
    94
  27. Brexit was never a credible policy. Ask 20 Brexiteers what Brexit is and get 20 different answers.
    92
  28. Not many C2s have been destroyed because they have rarely been involved in a war.
    90
  29. Russia has been flying bombers out of Belarus, so why isn't it ok for Ukraine to fly from airfields in other countries
    88
  30. Would America give up terrain if Russia invaded Alaska? No. So why expect Ukraine to give up terrain.
    88
  31. Its getting concerning - even John Bolton is now starting to sound reasonable
    87
  32. America threatening friendly countries with military action will not be forgiven.
    81
  33. Its no more immoral to kill a named individual, who leads/influences a war than it is immoral to fire cruise missiles into civilian shopping centre or apartment block
    79
  34. Water companies should be nationalised. Its unbelievable that the government is effectively giving our money away to the water companies. If you can't make a profit running an essential services company ....
    76
  35. What's the point in cutting the moment of impact but still showing the burning wreckage
    76
  36. Not a good look is it lads?
    69
  37.  @alexsilent5603  You should be a comedian
    68
  38. Well done Putin, he has done more for NATO unity and strength than has happened in the past 30yrs. Russia only has itself to blame. Welcome to NATO Finland and Sweden.
    67
  39. A big difference with this war, neither side has had air superiority over the battlefield, having air superiority will assist in being able to advance
    66
  40. To get better benefits outside of the EU never did make sense. To do so undermines the point of the EU or any trade organisation
    63
  41.  @tyroneslothrop123  Not as big a target that Russia is, if you even dare to attack any NATO country
    62
  42. Its as important to isolate the battlefield from supplies, so Russia can't keep troops ad equipment in the field. Take the Kerch Bridge down and rail bridges etc
    61
  43. RAF 137 Typhoons - does that include the 30 odd Mk1 Typhoons that are being taken out of service - so just over 100 Typhoons in reality
    60
  44. Difference is Ukraine isn't beaten
    59
  45. My old Flt Sgt will be rolling in his grave
    58
  46. The Charlie G might not easily defeat tanks, but it will take out most other targets. Why waste expensive and high performance weapons against lower priority targets. The tax payer wants value for money!!
    57
  47. The escalation started when Russia invaded the Ukraine
    53
  48. Who's side are the Americans on?
    50
  49. I'm getting worried, Bolton is starting to sound reasonable.
    50
  50. Full support from the UK for all of the Nordic nations in NATO and hopefully Sweden soon.
    45
  51.  @alexsilent5603  Its so good that Russia is getting a good kicking in Ukraine
    44
  52. I would hope by now that NATO have made it quite clear that any use of nuclear weapons will be considered to be an attack on NATO as the radiation will affect NATO countries. Russia can expect a NATO response.
    42
  53. Given the poor performance of the Russia forces in the Ukraine, it must be quite pleasing for NATO generals and planners to see.
    38
  54. Staged film. If the BMP is engaging a target, why would someone run out in front of it to put up a camera, into the line of return fire. As for a lone riflemen firing at the enemy. infantry act as a section or squad not alone. You would expect to see the section deployed and firing.
    37
  55. No doubt the RAF/MOD are paying through the nose for a civilian company to maintain the aircraft. Instead of employing enough RAF techies in the 1st place.
    37
  56. Surprise, surprise privatising the water industry lead to no investment, The water industry is a no risk business. A private management board seek to maximise profit for shareholders. So investments would only be made if it gave a profitable return, While the infrastructure was still adequate, then why waste money improving the system?
    36
  57. The Tories should never have cut defence in the 1st place. Cameron devastated UK Forces.
    36
  58. Bet the ground crew love these aircraft. No stroppy or arrogant pilots to deal with at see off.
    36
  59. Ask the general why his president is selling Ukraine out?
    35
  60. Tory diversion and distraction
    35
  61. The biggest mistake NATO has made is saying before the war started and still saying so, that they won't directly fight Russia. NATO should have given a vague answer to the question to leave the Russians guessing, before they invaded if NATO would fight. Before the war started NATO should have moved lots of aircraft to within striking distance of UKraine.
    34
  62. Not surprising - the Black Sea is little more than a big lake. Nowhere to hide or to sail away
    33
  63. I have no idea what the crime statistics are for theft by post masters, but if there was only the occasional prosecution before the Horizon software was introduced then after the software was introduced a large and unexpected increase, why wasn't the pattern questioned. It would seem unlikely that all of a sudden large numbers of postmasters were suddenly turning to crime
    32
  64. What currency are the Russian's going to trade in? Potatoes? Nobody wants rubles.
    31
  65. Grasping at straws
    31
  66. Looks like the Putin rent boys are getting a bit triggered by the comments below.
    30
  67. NATOs big mistake was before the war started. NATO should have given vague answers about whether NATO would fight with Ukraine. By saying that NATO wouldn't fight gave assurance to Russia that they thought they could invade with minimal risk. Still a mis-judgment by Russia but threatening to fight with Ukraine might have stopped the war starting.
    30
  68. All the money we spend on defence and all we can generate is 5 aircraft - 4 Typhoons and a tanker. The RAF has been cut far too much by UK governments
    30
  69. Only you Americams can do something about the clown in the White House.
    30
  70. Leo 1s might struggle against T80/90s but will still be lethal against light BMPs/BTRs etc. Plus if the Russians are now dragging out same generation T62 and possibly T55s then Leo 1s should do ok.
    29
  71. What did the Russians think would happen? Attacking in broad daylight with no artillery and limited tank support. Suicide tactics
    29
  72. Lesson for Europe. Don't trust America.
    28
  73. Labour will leave us prepared....just like the Tories have done with their excessive defence cuts. The army never been smaller, the Royal Navy slashed to the bone, the RAF losing Tornado, Harriers well before their time. The anti submarine aircraft now only 9 aircraft. removed all C130s from service. Only 3 airborne radar aircraft instead of 5.
    28
  74. Which ever reason the Russians give for this sinking, it makes them look very incompetent. 1. The ships sensors and weapons and crew training are so poor they couldn't defend against 2 relatively unsophisticated missiles. Their damage control and fire fighting equally bad..2. If if just an 'accident' then their ammunition handling and fire fighting are rubbish.
    26
  75. Why is the US Gov paying the rebuild cost? Surely the ships insurance company are likely to be liable for the repair costs?
    25
  76. The biggest mistake NATO made was before the war started by saying that NATO would not fight to defend Ukraine. That gave the green light to Putin, knowing Russia would not have to face NATO forces. NATO should have given vague answers to the question and so left Russia guessing. It might just have stopped the war starting.
    25
  77. Ukraine should push to advance to the Black Sea coast to isolate Crimea from Russia. Also take down the Kerch Bridge again. Thus isolating and starving the Russians in Crimea
    25
  78. Russia - such a large country yet their economy is only about the size of Spain.
    25
  79. Given the Tory cuts to defence/our army, the UK won't be doing much reinforcing of Europe.
    25
  80.  @Patendyck76  Thanks for your irrelevant comment Vladimir
    24
  81. Aw poor Putin, yet again complaining when his enemy fights back
    24
  82. The main tip - don't give the map to an officer
    24
  83. Sounds like the navigation officer is up for a Court Martial if they have hit a rock on the sea floor. The waters so close to base should be chartered so that they know where the lumpy bits are and to avoid them.
    23
  84. Then again Trump is/was full of lies. Yet America voted for him.
    23
  85. Parking brake left off / loss of hydraulic pressure and no chocks under the wheels. Basic aircraft ground handling.
    23
  86. All generic waffle. The fact remains all of UK Forces are too small in man power and under equipped.
    23
  87. The fact that Kaliningrad has an ice free harbour doesn't really matter. In the event of war, the Baltic is a NATO pond. Whatever Russian ships are in Kaliningrad would quickly get sunk, On the contrary Kalliningrad looks quite exposed to a NATO attack, surrounded on all sides.
    22
  88. Don't vote for Trump/Vance then
    22
  89. As Ukraine destroys more and more Russian storage tanks, Russia will have no option other than to stop extracting oil, they will simply have nowhere to put the oil.
    22
  90. Trump thinks Europe are freeloaders - yet its only America that has invoked NATO article 5 after 9-11. We responded and lost 450 lads for our efforts.
    22
  91. Cameron was just a lazy PM. He put no effort into investigating the negative side of Brexit. It was obvious Brexit was always going to be a close decision. Therefore a significant majority should have been required to leave the issue in no doubt.
    22
  92. Boycotting American products is getting quite popular here in Europe
    22
  93. NATOs biggest error was before the war started in saying that NATO would not get involve in the war. If NATO had remained giving vague answers as to whether NATO would fight, would have left Putin guessing whether to take the risk of invading Ukraine. It might just have stopped the war.
    22
  94. Much better if the government invested properly in the regular army and increased manpower and equipment
    21
  95. In 2000yrs religious people have never been able to prove this God thing even exists
    21
  96. I'd sooner have well funded and working public services than a small tax cut. When will the Tories understand people want working public services. There is more to running a country than low taxes
    21
  97.  @davelowe1977  Agree entirely
    21
  98. Never thought I would see an American President offering appeasement to Russia. How low America has fallen and will fall under Trump.
    20
  99. Save the cat
    20
  100. Ukraine needs air superiority, at least in a regional part of the battlefield. That will give the freedom of movement on the battlefield, to exploit a traditional break through of the front lines. The problem at the moment, due to drone technology and observation its impossible for either side to assemble for an attack without be observed.
    20
  101. I feel a fall from a tall building coming on
    20
  102. I'm still not convinced by the pink stripe wall paper
    20
  103. Ukraine wants Crimea before they will talk.
    19
  104.  @keithdrower9120  But if they voted in the same ratios it would still give the same result. With that number of people there is no reason to think they wouldn't
    19
  105. The big mistake the west made was before the war started. The west/NATO should have given vague answers as to to whether the West/NATO would defend Ukraine. It might have just stopped Russia invading.
    19
  106. And the Tories have the nerve to say Labour waste money
    19
  107. Sounds like the lads from Hereford were doing a great job. All ok by me.
    18
  108. Disgraceful comment. A troll
    18
  109. The problem is all of UK Forces are too small in both man power and equipment. We have no scope for combat losses.
    18
  110. Roast pork anybody?
    18
  111. Nice try Vlad. What happened to 10days to Kyiv?
    18
  112. A totally unrealistic expectation for Ukraine to make a decisive break through Russian lines. They remain out numbered and out gunned and don't have sufficient air support. NATO would never fight like this.
    17
  113. Wait until the ships return to harbour then hit them with a Storm Shadow missile.
    17
  114. Well done lads. Wizard show. Don't prang the kite when you get back. Home for teas, biscuits and medals.
    17
  115. The reality is Starmer is pretty useless
    17
  116. Why do journalists still ask questions about ongoing operational security issues. No army spokesman in the world is going to say anything about the progress of a battle that is still going on.
    17
  117. Weak? Maybe Brexit was all lies and delusion.
    17
  118. Still no action taken against Dorries, after promising to quit as an MP, still drawing her MPs salary - but not going to Parliament and failing to hold constituency surgeries and failing to represent her constituency members.
    16
  119. They aren't. Putinbot
    16
  120. Sunak's 5 promises are nonsense in any case - in the sense that any government would want to achieve the broad aims of them.
    16
  121. Just like being in Bradford
    16
  122. NATO biggest mistake was during the run up to the war. Instead of ruling out getting involved in any fighting, NATO should have kept their answers vague. It just might have stopped Russia attacking, if they were unsure of the NATO response.
    16
  123. Brexiteers never explained how UK businesses would sell into the EU without complying with EU standards/EU law.
    16
  124. We need to have an effective/large enough navy would help. The Tories have cut UK defences far too much in the name of tax cuts.
    16
  125. well that went well, Rishi has already scrapped the 3% GDP on defence, It should be 5% GDP on defence
    15
  126. Regardless of whether Labour can win a GE out right doesn't really matter. The Tories have to clearly win a GE which seems very unlikely. No other party will go into partnership with the Tories. As much as Labour might not want to, they will more than likely have options to forma a coalition government with other parties and hence stopping the Tories forming a government.
    15
  127. Bakhmut is less than 100miles from the Russian/Ukraine border and has taken now just over a year to just about capture. To out into perspective if Russia wants to capture Kyiv which is still hundreds of miles away.
    15
  128. War eventually comes down to logistics and willpower/morale.
    15
  129. Hope their IT support is better than Microsoft
    15
  130. Putin troll comments flooding in
    15
  131. @visitinggoat6696 Agreed. Sadly too many timid European governments in the early days. Not wanting to upset our European relatively good lifestyles, hoping Vlad would go away and Russian aggression could be ignored.
    14
  132. Health care in the UK isn't free. Its paid for via our tax system. The main advantage is that everyone will get treated regardless of the ability to pay. But hey, that's just about communism in the USA - just think a service is provided to the benefit of all citizens. A healthy nation is a wealthy nation.
    14
  133. And it's a NATO lake
    14
  134. And Russia thinks it can take on Nato air forces
    14
  135. They also said they would be in Kyiv in 10 days and wouldn't need old T62 tanks
    14
  136.  @jmasa32  Did you read my comment? Exactly that. If Putin wants Ukraine to stop wanting to join Nato, then he hasn't got a hope of getting that, after attacking Ukraine
    14
  137. Should have fitted impact fuses not delayed fuses.
    14
  138. Take down the Kerch Bridge and break through to the Black Sea coast. Thus isolate the Crimea and let the Russians starve in the Crimea.
    14
  139. All a result of British politicians for the past 30yrs not taking defence and the associated industrial manufacturing capability seriously. The problem is there are no votes in defence. The Tories prefer to give tax cuts to their mates. Even if UK forces expanded, so many bases/airfields etc have been closed, so we would have no where to put the the people and equipment.
    14
  140.  @Oregon123  Of what? Defending against Russian aggression?
    14
  141. Your average RAF techie won't be impressed with having to possibly swim if it all goes wrong. Not used to having airfields that can sink.
    13
  142. How many more times do British governments need to be told, whichever party is in power - there is no cherry picking of EU advantages. Strarmer is not the sharpest knife
    13
  143. Its immoral to bring in medics from overseas, effectively denying medical treatment to people in the original countries. The UK should have sufficient medical school places to train and deliver the medical staff that the UK requires. Its obvious in such a large organisation such as the NHS that there needs to be a continuous training system as medics naturally progress through their careers and retire. The bottom line is the Tories don't want the NHS.
    13
  144. The British army is now so small as to be irrelevant, 148 C3s aren't going to change anything
    13
  145. Pity we didn't sink the carrier as well
    12
  146. SO no reaction from the dog, just somebody else to play with
    12
  147. The Dems need another Bernie but 30yrs younger to move the US to a younger generation of political leaders, you can't keep having 70yr olds as president
    12
  148. The dog is depressed with being forced to live in Trumpland.
    12
  149. Tories had to find the savings to fund tax cuts
    12
  150. Probably vastly over rated like most Russian equipment. Even the armour / reactive armour argument is weak. Most decent hits will either render the vehicle immobile by damaging tracks/wheel or do sufficient damage to wreck sensors etc so seriously degrading the vehicle operation. If production numbers remain low, then the vehicle isn't a major threat.
    12
  151. If the hull / water tight integrity hasn't been compromised why does it need to go into a dry dock? It can be repaired while tied up to a pier.
    12
  152. Nonsense the lads enjoy Cyprus for the weekend drive to Ayia Nappa for party time.
    12
  153. The CO needs a smaller hat
    12
  154. You wouldn't trust Redwood as far as you can throw him, which isn't very far
    12
  155.  @schoolofhardknocks4501  So funny, you should be on the stage.
    12
  156. A rare person
    11
  157. You should be a comedian. You have lost control of the Black Sea against a country with no navy.
    11
  158.  @richardduplessis1090  Ukraine are doing pretty good so far.
    11
  159. Well that was a pointless discussion/argument. A waste of air time.
    11
  160. Raab's problem is that he is very thick. So thick he doesn't realise he is thick.
    11
  161. War is sick. However Russia started this war and Ukraine has every right to defend itself. If cluster munitions are more effective at stopping and if modern rounds can seek targets it helps to stop the Russians freely moving around, damaging their vehicles etc. Therefore reducing your own casualties. The use of cluster munitions is justified. War isn't fair.
    11
  162.  @rodneyfungus8249  The Tories took Tornado, Harriers, C130s out of service much too early, closed numerous airfields and reduced head count to ineffective levels
    11
  163. @uioplkhj  Bosnia wasn't a full on war. Ukraine is the war under consideration, so doesn't count for prior wars. Iraq was very 1 sided
    11
  164. Its scary how dumb many Americans are
    11
  165. Its scary how dumb lots of Americans are.
    11
  166. Its not a cast iron guarantee. Its when deemed affordable i.e. never
    11
  167. The hypocrisy of Kinnock for many years Labour also cut defence spending, as a pacifist party and wanting the saved money for social programmes
    11
  168. What were they thinking cancelling the WFA for pensioners. It was blindly obvious how it would/has gone down. A very easy target for the Tories. Much improvement needed, otherwise I can't see this government lasting 5yrs
    11
  169. One of the last articles I saw about agriculture was that European produce growers were no longer bothered about exporting to the UK. Two reasons - they get better prices selling to other mainland EU countries and 2nd the paperwork caused by Brexit wasn't worth the hassle of filling out. So standby for empty supermarket shelves. The advantages of a single market and trading bloc are plain to see, except if you are a deluded Brexiteer.
    11
  170. Kerch Bridge and Black Sea Fleet ships here we go
    11
  171.  @strangelylookingperson  Remind us how you Russians did in Afghanistan in the 1980s
    11
  172. The West have been too timid facing Putin down
    10
  173. If she ever gets into power can we expect more outstanding trade deals.....NOT The woman is a clown.
    10
  174. Trump has the mindset of an 8yr old
    10
  175. Still not enough tanks though. Numbers still count
    10
  176. Batty old women meets soldiers
    10
  177. Why are RN ship armed with such weak weapons - a 30mm gun and thats it??? They won't be dominating the seas with that. What has become of the RN. No longer a credible navy.
    10
  178.  @richardmarsden5610  That is why Russia would be very stupid to attack NATO, NATO air forces are likely to achieve and maintain air superiority/dominance. It was rather unreasonable of Nato to expect the Ukrainians to advance last summer with no decent air support. Its not something NATO would consider as a tactic.
    10
  179. Well Admiral what do you have to say about the poor land attack capability of the RN surface ships, having to rely on the RAF again .
    10
  180. Americans really are dumb
    10
  181. I get the impression that Ben thinks Trump is an idiot. Which is correct.
    10
  182. Nuclear submarines are no good for the Aussies, you can't have a BBQ on the deck.
    10
  183. Peace on Russian terms is not peace.
    10
  184. Dream on Sergei
    10
  185.  @1chish  unlikely to be a fatigue problem. Military aircraft usually fly many less hours than civilian equivalents. It would have been reported in the aviation/defence press if this was the case. I understand these aircraft are being passed to the US for training. The reason for withdrawal from service is an incompetent UK Government defence policy.
    9
  186. I guess if nobody is firing back then your plan will work
    9
  187. So why should the government pay benefits to those on low wages, effectively the government is subsidising jobs & employers. If a company has a job it pays all of the cost of employing somebody and what it costs to attract someone to do the job. Its called capitalism. Benefits should be payable to those who are truly sick, disabled on short term unemployment.
    9
  188.  @richardgrimbleby7853  What's the difference between an Australian and an Airbus A380....the A380 stops whining when it lands.

  190. Why WW2 Russian KV1s at 21mins - 21.09? Trying to fill out the so called documentary
    9
  191. Doesn't alter the fact that all of UK Forces are far too small.
    9
  192. They are still handicapped by lack of air support
    9
  193. Boycotting US products as much as possible here in Europe is becoming quite popular.
    9
  194. And the problem with that? Europe gets its act together and defends our society or Vlad tries it on.

  195. I predict the aircraft accident report will say it was pilot error.

  196. I thought the good news was going to be that Jacob tasted lovely

  197. Lewis's car can't take out a T80 at 6km

  198. No doubt MOD are paying a large amount of money for a poor service.

  199. People want public services that are funded and work. Not minor tax cuts.

  200. I;m sure we can come to a reasonable price on building our Astute class - RN

  201. 3 days to Kiev wasn't it Sergei?

  203. 'we' have made mistakes? No Russia has made serious mistakes.
    8
  204. NATO have been slow in providing enough heavy equipment and air support. Losing a Challenger was inevitable
    8
  205.  @MrGatzby  Why hasn't Putin achieved any of his stated objectives? The Russian forces have had a mighty punch in their face. Shown how bad they are. And Russia thinks it can beat NATO....that has to be joke of the century. In some areas its taken Russia a year to advance 10km.
    8
  206. See the other comment below. I can't remember the exact figures but a very large amount of German/Italian supplies were attacked and sunk by the RAF and Royal Navy as they sailed across from Italy to north Africa. Hence why Malta was such an important base - with RAF aircraft and RN submarines based there.
    8
  207. The war isn't over yet. Take the long view.
    8
  208. During my time fixing aircraft, if you got caught selecting minor spares by 'eye' without checking the part number in the spares manual, you got a mega rollicking from the Flight Sergeant or Chief Tech of the shift.

  209. I would have expected a decent bottle of Italian red in the ration pack

  210. Are the Americans friends or enemy? Asking for a friend.

  211. Piccadilly radio was pretty unknown in Manc

  212. Trump isn't out of touch, he is simply lying
    8
  213. If I remember correctly because of the time of year 26th December, that far north it would be dark just about all of the time at that time of year. I think the RN had better radars than the Germans so could engage the Scharnhorst at a greater range before any sighting of each other was possible.
    8
  214. A staggeringly stupid decision to retire C130s
    8
  215. On the other hand Russia has a failing economy - inflation and interest rates going up, more NATO right on your border, a badly damaged oil refining industry, an army with a very bloody nose, a poor air force, Black Sea fleet combat ineffective, demographic predictions are not great, a 3 day SMO is now around 1000days with no strategic objective obtained and 600k casualties. Ultimately Putin will meet his end and Ukraine will join the EU and NATO if thats what they want. Which bit is going well for Russia??
    8
  216. No such thing as God in the 1st place. Religion is just brainwashing. Most of these people can't even speak clearly
    8
  217. O'Brien going totally over the top about a subject that is of very little relevance to the vast, vast majority of people
    8
  218.  @rockbutcher  It would certainly be interesting to see the results of a referendum if all US states bordering Canada were asked/given the option of joining Canada

  219. You are not worthy to march with the RAF

  220. Irrelevant troll comment

  221. The trouble with many Trump supporters is they are too stupid to realise they are stupid
    7
  222. Given the massive cuts to UK forces, they will be running out of work. Not enough blokes anymore
    7
  223. Slight correction - we have a hopeless and useless government.
    7
  224. Surely the Americans can afford to give 250 Abrams
    7
  225. Not destroyed by an enemy - maybe thats because its never been in a war. Just a thought
    7
  226. Shooting their own wounded. What a sad joke the Russian army is.
    7
  227. Are so many Americans really this dumb?
    7
  228. Love the stern Scottish voice. 'We're doomed'
    7
  229. The whole EU referendum was just too simplistic. Such a major national decision based on a simple majority always was a stupid idea and being divisive. There should have been a minimum ratio required of at least 60% voting leave. Until then we should have stayed in the EU. Cameron put no effort into publishing the negatives of leaving the EU, thus allowing the Brexit lies to be believed.
    7
  230. Classic politicians answers - divert, distract, change the subject - give information on a totally different subject to help time the interview out.
    7
  231. It shows how pathetic Russia is. Cutting cables is annoying, but its not going to change support for Ukraine.
    7
  232. Maybe if numerous Tory governments hadn't slashed spending on the NHS, they could cope better, Clown Osborne wanted to close medical training schools, cut grants for trainee nurses - then people wonder why people won't train to be nurses - because they can't afford to.

  233. Trump likes capitalism so long as the rules are in America's favour.

  236. A large part of the reason for the economic failure of Concorde was the American aviation industry and US Government putting commercial obstacles in the way of Concordes development. The US aviation market doing what it usually does freezing out market competition.

  241. The British army will still be too small

  242.  @elmodiddly  I know. However, 30 new jets should be ordered to replace them to the latest Mk. However the government won't fund defence properly

  243.  @alexanderbalcombe4207  Clown
    7
  244.  @marsnz1002  Maybe, but they still have limited offensive capability. Just maintaining enough forces to stop the russians isn't enough. Most attacks need a local superiority of 3:1 as a minimum to have any chance of winning a battle.
    7
  245.  @easee28  ha ha, its that the current view from your handler in Moscow?
    7
  246. Quickly seizing a key objective is a basic requirement/mission for airborne units. I wonder how many times they practised the mission at a Russian airfield before it kicked off.
    7
  247. 2 clowns on the telly
    7
  248. One man's tax cut is another persons loss of help. Then again the Tories don't care about the poor.
    7
  249. Maybe Labour will now actually come up with some clear policies. Vote for us because we aren't Tories is not a policy.
    7
  250. The usual bull and waffle by Wing Commander Fanny Pants. Another stupid defence policy by this inept UK government, reducing RAF capability before a replacement aircraft is in service. The Wedgetails have been reduced from 5 to 3 aircraft.
    7
  251. Absolute rubbish. There is no public discussion in the UK about sending UK troops to Ukraine.
    7
  252. A fair criticism
    7
  253. Vote Reform - get Vlad

  254. USVs are just a modern version of fire ships used in sailing ship days

  255. The NATO treaty doesn't have a way of removing members
    7
  256.  @robertmaybeth3434  Even if we did have a year to examine the Tiger, it still takes time to design and tool for a new tank, transport it to the battlefield and train the crews etc, Most Allied tanks had to be transported from America, so had additional size/weight limits to allow for this. Tigers couldn't be everywhere only about 1350 ever made, meanwhile thousands of Shermans were built. Obviously 1 v 1 a Sherman couldn't match a Tiger - but 5 Shermans v 1 Tiger or more - then Germany had a problem. This is the point most Tiger fans ignore - there were simply never enough of them either overall all or in 1 place for a particular battle. Germany was beaten in WW2 because you chose to fight on 2 fronts and were out manufactured in terms of industrial capacity. Not to mention getting side tracked building various 'wonder' weapons which had a minimal effect on the outcome of the war.
    7
  257. Phoenix missiles were over rated - didn't hit much with them apparently

  258.  @peterkitson2843  Labour haven't been in government for 14yrs. Dont make excuses for the Tories. The Tories are supposed to be the party of defence

  264. Wootton is a 1st class nob.

  265. Answer - not enough equipment and men for all 3 services
    6
  266. Pity the BA has nowhere enough tanks. We should have 800+ instead of only about 200
    6
  267. Garbage
    6
  268. Unfortunately due to the short sighted defence cuts by NATO over the past 30yrs we don't have the spare equipment to send over. Once all the nice shiny hi tech equipment has gone, this will revert to nearly a WW2 infantry war.

  269. Nice to see the Russians have their priorities sorted out having a snooker table.

  274.  @elipa3  Indeed. I like the analogy. Brexiteers thought they could leave the golf club but thought they could still get reduced fees to play around of golf and get get cheap drinks at the bar.
    6
  275. Americans taking lessons on how to run a navy properly. All that money the US spend on defence and they still only have the 2nd best navy in the world.
    6
  276.  @lifeisstr4nge  I'd agree with that
    6
  277. What like lying, breaking the law, having kids by multiple mothers
    6
  278. Why does Talk Radio waste 15minutes of every hour running the pointless advertising link showing their presenter/programme times? The music is very annoying.
    6
  279. Now thy realise their mistake - not joining the RAF
    6
  280. Is this like when the Russians sold tanks and ammunition to many Middle East countries which turned out to be the very basic model of the tanks (T72s) and ammunition 30yrs old
    6
  281. Says Andrew from his French home
    6
  282.  @reallymakesyouthink  Quite simple my little putinbot. Russia cannot demand what Ukraine does. Ukraine has the right to make any political and military alliances with out Russian interference. Like joining NATO and the EU if thats what they want.
    6
  283. Kwasi, are you going to pay my mortgage increase, thanks to your incompetence. No thought not.
    6
  284. Guardian readers complain the BBC is too right wing. Brexiteers complain the BBC is too left wing. I guess the BBC is doing something right if it annoys both sides of the political spectrum. However Talk TV, Kyle and Habib are total fwits. As well as the other TalkTv presenters - Graham is just thick. Julia Hartley-Brewer is demented.

  285. 5%

  286. LOL. Get Vlad
    6
  287. Not quite the same, but my father was in the Fleet Air Arm towards the end of WW2 out in the far east & Australia. He always said then after the war was over and they were sailing back to the UK, a number of aircraft on his aircraft carrier were simply pushed over the side into the sea - Indian Ocean. It was judged they weren't needed and had no scrap value. Aircraft included Avengers, Corsairs, Wildcats.
    6
  288. No Putin, no war
    6
  289. As we currently see in the Ukraine war, Russian tactics are crude. Hence 1 reason why they lost so many people in WW2 - poor tactics, poor training, poor troop quality. The current Russians never admit to that. They simply don't care about their own casualties
    6
  290.  @thomascuvillier7250  True, I didn't say NATO would attack 1st, but a few armoured units and attack helicopter units that happened to be 'on exercise' with the Ukrainians before the war started would have raised doubt with Russia
    6
  291. Welcome to NATO
    6
  292. Not exactly Market Garden, is it.
    5
  293. Trump can't pull the US out of NATO without the agreement of Congress

  294. Alternatively Brexit is like resigning your golf club membership but still expecting reduced costs to play a round of golf and cheap drinks at the bar afterwards.

  295. The RM love themselves even more
    5
  296. Its the modern version of 'the bomber will always get through'. It doesn't matter how many drones get shot down, provided some do.
    5
  297. The biggest mistake the West made was before the war started. Instead of saying NATO wouldn't get involved in the war NATO should have remained vague. It would have left Putin wondering whether to risk fighting NATO if they came to the aid of Ukraine.. It might have just stopped the war starting.

  300. A more correct video title. Spartan vehicles drive along a road

  301. American Republicans have much to answer for.

  302. Probably best not to cross the Kerch Bridge

  303. Given the performance of Russian forces in Ukraine, Europe should be able to defend itself against Russia

  310. I'm pleased my tax money is being well spent.
    5
  311. The Meteor wasn't as good as the Me262. The main engine drawback was the centrifugal design for an engine compressor whereas the Me262 had an axial flow compressor. An axial flow compressor engines having much better long term development potential. With only few exceptions, centrifugal compressor engines are no longer used. Drawbacks include less power, great cross section and hence drag.
    5
  312. Judging by that video, they hit nothing.
    5
  313.  @kopite8971  sadly you are correct
    5
  314.  @rinkusanjeeb  Comedian. If you want the end of Russia, carry on. NATO has more than enough nukes to wipe the smile off your face.
    5
  315.  Mister Roper's Smile   Who called for NATO support after 9/11? Enough European soldiers died defending the US in Afghanistan
    5
  316. Agree the Israelis have never done us any favours
    5
  317. What the Tories never say - the work needs doing, as civil servants are reduced they simply put the work out to their mates like Mitie, Capita etc who then charge higher rates for the same work Still get the head count down
    5
  318.  @mauricebuckmaster9368  Indeed. The rest of the army would be stuffed without them.
    5
  319. Its still a Lynx
    5
  320. A sign of how short of front line troops we are when cooks and vets are out patrolling.
    5
  321. But thats the problem - you can't have Scandinavian levels of public services and social benefits while only setting taxes at American levels

  322. Very brave men taking Swordfish against the Bismarck.

  323.  @masterlightjames950  For over 100yrs Russia has been trying to beat the West. Failed miserably. Its not going well in Ukraine for Russia, is it Sergei?
    5
  324. Something very badly wrong with the MOD supply system if it takes 18mths to place an ammunition order and get production going
    5
  325. Nice to sea the techies are going back to wearing grey overalls, instead of green and looking like a pongo. Hope they never have a fire in the hangar - the history of the RAF could be lost in 1 fire. Should keep the aircraft in separate hangars
    5
  326. 82nd Airborne were originally ordered to hold the high ground to the east of Nijmegen, as the Allies were worried about a German attack from the east, out of Germany. So the American's did as ordered. The error was not to change the orders sooner and to try to capture the Nijmegen bridge earlier.
    5
  327.  @Rosskles  no, I just know a legal clown when I see one

  328.  @steptay  Really. Says much about you then

  330. Still not right, RAF men being allowed to have beards
    5
  331. No we don't
    5
  332.  @casparthomas4775  Yes, your point is? They certainly won't be working for nothing or at the same rate the RAF would pay a techie.

  337. They will be replaced only if Russia has the money and access to the technology - computers etc. Which is not certain given the current situation
    4
  338.  @newton18311  Poseidon undertake a different task that Sentry/Sentinel. Poseidon are anti-submarine/anti shipping, Sentinel were electronic reconnaissance, Sentry were airborne early warning/fighter control of the airspace.
    4
  339. Basically Russian tactics and troop motivation hasn't changed since WW2
    4
  340. What a rambling argument this guy had
    4
  341. How can they support the Palestinians being subject to excessive Israeli retaliation?
    4
  342. Six tanks and 7 APCs is less than a company strength loss. A Russian battalion has 30 tanks with 10 tanks per company.
    4
  343.  @blobblob2810  So true. Vote for a conman like Nigel. You fool
    4
  344. If success is capturing another relatively minor town at a cost of a stated 16k men, not much of a success if that all Russia can do after 2yrs of war.
    4
  345. Listening to Trudeau makes it even clearer how lacking in intelligence and verbal abilities Trump is. Trump acts like a 5yr old child with the same mental capacity and verbal skills.

  348. Ukraine propaganda

  349. How much is Vlad paying him?
    4
  350. As his wife is British they will be claiming residency in the UK.

  351. There is certainly no logic in using very expensive F35 in a CAS role, when the A10 is still doing the job well. Not everything has to be the latest 'tech'.
    4
  352. Bexiteers had no idea what they wanted. Ask 20 Brexiteers what Brexit was, get 20 different answers.
    4
  353. What Hitchen fails to acknowledge is that its totally unacceptable to have a clown and liar as PM. If a teacher, Dr, policeman had acted in the way Johnson has they would at least be sacked if not permanently struck off their professional register. Why aren't politicians held to the same standard? A totally biased interview, as normal from talkRadio. When is Graham going to award himself the Plank of the Week award? He would win every week.
    4
  354. Pity they missed
    4
  355. NATOs mistake before the war started was to say NATO soldiers wouldn't fight with Ukraine. It might have just stopped Russia invading.
    4
  356. The Tories never talk about closing the tax loops holes that are either exploited by the rich because they have the money to make it worthwhile or tax avoidance by the rich/large corporates - its always the less well off who are targeted to save money to fund tax cuts.
    4
  357.  @HanginInSF  A poor job
    4
  358. It's not so much Russia is ahead of the west, rather than Putin/Russia don't have to be concerned about political home support, breaking international law etc.
    4
  359. Rather a negative view of the legal bird saying its too difficult to change the UN organisation. Its up to the politicians and legal people to force the change through. UN Security Council members such as Russia cannot be allowed to hide behind the UN to avoid sanction for their war crimes and for their leaders to avoid taking personal responsibility for their criminal regimes and war crimes.
    4
  360. Need to get rid of your wet lettuce PM first
    4
  361. Surprised the original holding point over the vor/mountains wasn't picked by an independent safety review of the procedure. The starting point must be, where there is an easy alternative, not to hold over mountains. I would say the root cause of the accident goes back further than the misunderstood communications between the pilots and atc to the poor position of the holding point.
    4
  362. A bit like Russian pilots firing cruise missiles into a children's cancer hospital.
    4
  363. Private Smith with his X-Box controller isn't going to stop a tank attack when his batteries are flat. HM Forces sold out again. So glad my time is over. You have to be an idiot to join HM Forces now.
    4
  364. Should have fitted the aircraft with decent engines - made in Derby, UK - Rolls Royce. Not cheap P&W motors.
    4
  365. O'Brien shows his nasty side again. He does it quite often.
    4
  366. The Tories just don't get it. There is more to life than tax cuts. Most people just want a country that works, public services adequately funded. Tax cuts are only of significant advantage to those who earn/have a lot of money. A tax cut to someone an an average salary or less amounts to very little.
    4
  367. The explosion bit is missing
    4
  368. There are certainly questions to be asked about the evidence and her conviction. Has her guild been proved beyond 'all reasonable doubt'.
    4
  369.  @robertstorey7476  Maybe. But if the evidence is flawed leads to an unsafe conviction
    4
  370. Nice to see the aircraft techies were largely absent from this video. The token avionics fairy doesn't count. The rest of the lads were probably drinking tea in the crew room.
    4
  371. If its not grey and rainy in Manchester, then it will be very soon.
    4
  372. Boeing have sat on their thumbs for too long. Instead of replacing the B737 - a 1960s fundamental design, with a newer design. Boeing deserve to lose the race for new aircraft.
    4
  373. Waste of time
    4
  374. The most intolerant people I've ever had to deal with have always been religious. Wanting their views to take priority.
    4
  375.  @unokarpa4405  You need to get some better experts. Russia/Putin your man started this war and is losing badly. No US/NATO troops are involved.
    4
  376. Completely agree. The self adverts are pointless. How ironic Talk Radio doesn't have enough to talk about every hour, so they fill in.
    4
  377. Lucky it had some spare wheels to land on.
    4
  378. Thing the man is wrong about Russian economic collapse. That prospect appears to be accelerating
    4
  379. There are only 2 types of vessel - submarines and targets.
    4
  380. The biggest mistake the west/NATO has made was before the war started. Instead of saying NATO wouldn't fight, NATO should have kept to vague answers so that the Russians risked immediately bringing NATO into the war. Such a policy might just have stopped the war starting in the first place.
    4
  381. Only Putin is prepared to pay a high cost in life, so long as a life isn't his.
    4
  382.  @mh-ht2fp  After you. My country isn't at war with Russia. But I think your country is at war with the Ukraine
    4
  383. What do you expect when the Tories sell everything off to the highest bidder. Our enemies exploit the opportunity.
    4
  384.  @Damathus  Your Russian tanks would look better back in Russia. They won't blow up as easily.
    4
  385. But Americans have no problem with a criminal as president and who has a very poor record in the treatment of women
    4
  386. Wootton being a complete a hole again
    4
  387. The biggest mistake the west/NATO made was before the war started. Instead of saying NATO wouldn't get involved in any fighting, NATO should have remained with giving vague answers to leave Russia guessing and gambling about NATO. Being vague with answers, it might have just stopped the war starting.

  397.  @toby9999  Nothing wrong with that. As stated Russia has been attacking Ukraine from Belarus. Putin went to war thinking it would be all over in 10days and nobody would attack Russia. Reap what he has sown.

  398.  @phillipbywater1541  I wouldn't use the current Ukraine war as an example of Russian performance. The Moskva was hit by land based missiles. How would they get on in the open ocean with out nearby aircraft to launch anti ship missiles?

  405. As an ex RAF fast jet techie, in my experience oxygen problems reported by a jockey were very rare. I struggle to recall many/any such faults. Sure as part of regular aircraft servicing oxygen bottles/system components were replaced as dictated by the servicing schedule - minor/major servicing periods. I would guess the jockey has pulled the wrong handle by mistake. These things happen
    3
  406.  @cuckingfunt9353  I agree. the problem at the moment is that the minimum wage is set too low, hence allowing companies to get away with paying low wages, knowing that the government will top up with benefits. I would set the min wage as £20/hr or about £40k year for full time work.

  446. While I agree with the general points of this video, Trump did actually have a point that many NATO countries weren't and some still haven't been spending enough on defence. Buts its mainly due to the Ukraine war that Europe is finally waking up and spending more on defence.
    3
  447. Sadly don't look at the mainstream opposition parties to be prepared to raise the issue of rejoining the EU as a matter of election policy. Starmer is running scared of his own shadow on rejoining the EU. If the quoted figures in this video are correct that 61% would vote to rejoin, then as a minimum there should be another referendum. It is crass stupidity of any political party to continue with a strategic policy that is harming the UK.

  466. Nevertheless, the military logic makes sense. Sacrifice 2 aircraft and a squad of soldiers to take away the risk of losing ships in the main attack force. If we had lost either aircraft carrier, the war would have been lost.

  467. And when the batteries are flat and the power grid is down and your mobile generators are stuck somewhere else?

I've flown Llanbedr to Valley in the real world in a de Havilland Dove - old piston engine light transport. Went to fix a broken Hawk that had put down at Llanbedr. Quicker than driving round the coast Another ex jock does some good Hawk videos https://www.youtube.com/@cgaviator/videos

  476. Your air defence is our air defence, given we currently have a land border as well as the island of Ireland being less than 5mintutes flying time from the UK across the Irish Sea. If Russian long range bombers did penetrate Irish airspace their long range missiles would still be in range of UK potential targets. Guess if it happened at the moment, the RAF would fly over Irish airspace and we could argue about having 'foreign' aircraft over Ireland later.

  480. More short sighted defence cuts. Posiedon is not a replacement, there are only 9 of them and supposed to be an anti submarine aircraft. When I joined there were 80000 guys in the RAF - what now 30000. Modernisation must go one, especially in aviation - but there comes a point, no matter how good an individual aircraft is, if the RAF drops below a critical mass, then it is no longer a credible air force. The Russian threat hasn't gone away.
    3
  481. Given the poll predictions its all a silly Tory diversion. However as an ex blue suit regular its military nonsense. I guess it takes even a relatively unskilled infantry soldier to take 2-3yrs to be fully effective. As an ex RAF techie my training was 3yrs for aircraft engineering. Its a non starter for any technical trades

  502.  @aspie2901  No chance. Both uk political parties have cut uk defence spending, but for different reasons. The Tories because they want to fund tax cuts.

Guess you would have to seize the airports at cities and land by sea invasion close by. Like Russia, Australia has size as a benefit. But to do so you have to be able to either sail your ships close enough and/or achieve air superiority. Neither of which the Chinese could do, given the distances involved. This is where submarines come in.

  531.  @gusgone4527  Trouble at the moment would be persuading lads to join. Would you fight for the blonde clown in Downing St. When I was in the RAF was 90000 blokes, 400 combat aircraft. Sure capability and technology get better. The last figure i saw as 35000 blokes and 140 combat aircraft. Far too small

  534.  @vmpgsc  Small jet. Single engine. You can't beat the laws of physics/aerodynamics
    2
  535.  @vmpgsc  All very true, Doesn't alter the fact small aircraft equals a small weapons load. A B52 has 8 engines for a reason
    2
  536.  @MrCABman1972  Doesn't alter the fact they don't have the range to hit deep into Russia for the important strategic targets or the weapon load. The war won't be won by taking out replaceable targets at the front line. The deeper targets need to be hit to stop/greatly reduce weapon production. A Gripen can't do that. I wasn't the one to start comparing B52s and Gripens. A Gripen is a local air superiority/short range strike aircraft. Combat range is circa 430nm weapon load 5300kg. Ukraine won't be able to use its in flight refuelling capability for deep strikes into Russia
    2
  537.  @MrCABman1972  Being such a large country, Russia has the luxury of space. If the war continues Russia can always do what they did in WW2 and move their factories deeper into the country. If you can't stop weapons production and as Putin seems totally unconcerned about casualties then the war will continue. The only way Russia can be forced to stop is either- Break them financially so they can't afford to fight Destroy their production either weapons or fuel/logistics . Obviously the Gripen like any aircraft will do the best it can but it lacks range and weapon load to hit deep targets. Obviously loss of aircraft is also a consideration.

  542. Vastly over rated troops. They have only won 2 engagements. The Bruneval raid - a small skirmish action against rear element engineers/technicians at the radar station. Then the Falklands. D-Day was a damp squib - landed too dispersed. Sicily just a failure many landed in the sea.. Arnhem a failure failed to seize their objective. The paras do like to live on the dream of being shock troops. They are nothing without RAF crews except well trained infantry.

  555. Not a great example quoting Putin. A total dictator. A man who has ordered his army to attack and invade a neighbour country with a democratically elected government. A man who permits his military to randomly fire missiles in to hospitals, residential buildings etc. A man who changed Russian law to allow him to stay in office effectively for as long as he wants. I have no time for the Tories, but at least we will have an opportunity to remove them. The Russians are stuck with Putin most likely until he dies. Then probably replaced with another equally corrupt leader.
    2
  556. I think one of the main keys to removing Putin is breaking his stranglehold on the media and the news in Russia.

  559. My father was in the UK Royal Navy / Fleet Air Arm. Towards the end of WW2 he was out in the Pacific and just caught the end of the action. When returning to the UK, as they sailed across the Indian Ocean the aircraft on board the aircraft carrier were simply pushed over the side into the sea. No requirement or scrap value was seen for the aircraft - F4U Corsairs, Avengers torpedo bombes were simply dumped. Thats the story he told me.

  562.  @jrydenbark  Thats what the F35s can do, take out enemy air defences to leave the A10s to take out the armour.
    2
  563. Plenty of people in the UK stopping buying/minimising buying US goods and services.
    2
  564. Very interesting. However I would expect by the late stage of the war the Americans were probably somewhat reluctant to attack and lose men, with the war being so close to ending. Simply waiting for more heavy equipment was a better option to force this small band of Germans to retreat. This may account to some extent to the success of such a small number of troops.

  565. Its all Trump's fault for even talking to the Taliban

  566. Russian tactics haven't really changed since WW2

  567. Can't they just call the AA breakdown recovery service?
    2
  568. Vote Reform get Putin. Farage is effectively saying the foreign policy of all European countries should be dictated by Russia and Putin. Farage is a clown. Unfit to be in politics
    2
  569. Quite agree, the guy is past it, boring, outdated. Time for new blood.
    2
  570. Many despise what both the Tories and Farage have done to the country

  572. Russia win the prize for being stupid.
    2
  573. This guy sounds about 16, I doubt very much he has been in UK Forces in Afghanistan. The language used doesn't suggest military experience or slang used by British Forces.
    2
  574. Think I have more of a clue than you - I could give my UK Forces aviation experience, Can you???
    2
  575. But you claim at about 2min 44sec to have been on tours of operations in Afghanistan. So were you in the British Army?? I doubt it, for the reasons previously stated. If you weren't just stick to posting your fantasist computer graphics. I was lucky, I served with UK armed forces, but never got asked to get in with the dirty stuff.
    2
  576. The west helps to finish Russia now or we will be fighting Russia on NATO ground if Putin achieves any sort of victory. There is no peace while Putin or any of his followers are in power.

  580. And still only the 2nd best navy in the world

  581. Very good, but once we have given our MLRS away what does the British army fight with?

  582. Mogg is a 1st class bell end

  583. RAF techies have better things to do.
    2
  584. A standard RAF jet jockey posture. They get it taught at Cranwell. They have the mindset of 'I'm a pilot, far superior to any of you underlyings'.
    2
  585. It takes 15mins to get the QRA jets off the ground because you have to give the RAF techies the time to finish their cups of tea and to stop playing cards in the crew room. I speak from experience.
    2
  586. For far too long the west has been too trusting and cooperative with both China and Russia. Russia has shot itself in the foot with the Ukraine war. However with China the west needs to isolate China. Bring back to the west manufacturing of goods. Stop allowing China to invest in western companies
    2
  587. The American public need to accept that they have elected an idiot.
    2
  588.  @skylongskylong1982  why would we want a free fall bomb? Outdated delivery method. Too prone to being shot down on the way to the target.
    2
  589. The biggest mistake the west has made was before the war started by saying the west/NATO would not get involved in the war. If NATO had remained vague about getting involved, then Putin just might not have invaded.
    2
  590. Simply the best rock singer of all time

  591. So he couldn't really have triggered WW3 as the mission got scrubbed by General Jackson. Click bait.

  592. At 1.35 the comment a Spitfire had a stressed STEEL skin? Surely not? Steel is far too heavy, the skin is aluminium.
    2
  593.  @mohamedsalahkhedr8813  Very true, but you didn't have KV1s in 1967? Just T34/85, JSII, SU100 and a few ISU152s - so the history books say.
    2
  594. Its ok by me for Ukraine to attack targets in Russia with Western missiles
    2
  595. Oh it was so much better in the 1950s according to this out of date clown.
    2
  596.  @mr.mayhem7402  So funny. A dose of your own medicine. You lost the GE - Get over it. We will rejoin the EU and there is nothing you can do about it

  601. Trump is a scumbag. Sub-human. Why isn't he demanding Putin stops the war?

  602. All goes to show what a strategic failure Ukraine is for Russia. Stronger NATO, more NATO.

  605. Nobody is scared of Russia. Sadly people will continue to die until Putin withdraws. Better to fight than to be ruled by Putin and Russia
    2
  606.  @samaranch09  Tell us about the restrictions in Russia. Jailing of peaceful political opponents. Hey, Sergei!
    2
  607. Its nothing to do with explaining to the people. Its typical Tory arrogance and rewarding their mates with tax cuts. Not caring about the impact on most people
    2
  608. We really are governed by a bunch of clowns, liars and charlatans. The whole top government ministers should go. Boris is out of his depth, utterly unfit to be PM.

  618. Truss is mad and delusional. Sunak is just a spoiled rich kid wanting to play with peoples lives.
    2
  619. My father was of the WW2 generation. Post WW2 he worked for many years with a German chap who had been captured by the British, who had then stayed in the UK post WW2. My fathers view was that only by making friendship and showing compassion and forgiveness would the wounds of war be repaired.

  627.  @ermspa9373  You don't need to read/believe the Bible to be a good person. There are some pretty bad so called stories in the bible if you take it literally
    2
  628.  @remainertears  No, if leaving can be on a simple majority then so can rejoining the EU. The fact remains Cameron was a lazy idle tvvat, thinking remain would win without much thought. As the politicians messed it up, rejoining should be on the same voting principle as leaving. No moving the goalposts now. I think 60% rejoin would be a achieved though.
    2
  629. He decided to leave because he couldn't face his own Portillo moment.
    2
  630. The rest of the free world - Europe, Canada, Korea, Japan etc need to work together to damage the American economy
    2
  631. Its just a deluded view that you can break people by bombing them. It has the opposite effect of making people more willing to fight on. It didn't work in WW2 - of which Putin should know that about the attacks on Russian cities, didn't work against Germany or the UK when they bombed each others cities etc.

  637. And it usually ends up badly for the submarine
    2
  638.  @kreb7  agree 100%. Thats what I said
    2
  639. And Starmer still doesn't have the balls to announce a plan to rejoin the EU
    2
  640.  @lechatel  Is this care via the NHS or social care via your local council social services.
    2
  641. Hope the adult Americans have a plan for managing Trump for 4yrs - limiting his ability to make decisions or to counter his decisions.
    2
  642. There are only 1 or 2 T class boats left. Most have been taken out of service.
    2
  643. Back to your dacha. Russia will lose
    2
  644. More cuts and under manning disguised as reorganisation
    2
  645. Time for Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, S Korea etc get together. If the US want to be isolationist then you can have it.
    2
  646.  @richardmarsden5610  And thats why NATO airforces practice rapid dispersion and operations away from their main peace time bases. THE RAF have been doing this over recent months if you read the defence press.
    2
  647.  @richardmarsden5610  Nope wrong there about the RAF. During my time we regularly practiced deploying away from MOBs, It is possible to maintain aircraft away from bases. Modern aircraft are more reliable than old stuff.
    2
  648.  @ericp1139  Nonsense. Iraq supposedly had good anti aircraft defences. It didn't work for them. Are you a troll? Don't be intimidated by these countries its what they want. I'm sure the Americans have studied the Iranian air defences. As for anti ship missiles - do you really think the aircraft carriers will come that close inshore? Without mid course guidance/target information it isn't as easy as you think to hit a moving ship I'm sure the Americans aren't scared of attacking Iran - its simply not in their interest to do so, unless provoked much more.

  651.  @jamesengland7461  How come Airbus were also frozen out/rejected for the recent competition to replace the USAF KC135s air refuelling tankers to ensure the contract went to an American company.
    2
  652. 95year old blokes....
    2
  653. More BS from the heads, spouting nonsense. Sure technology moves on, especially in the aerospace sector. But quantity has a quality all of its own. No matter how good, an aircraft can only be in 1 place at a time.
    2
  654.  @Andrew-is7rs  With such low number of aircraft - there is no depth in fighting strength. Combat loses will still occur even with the best aircraft. So glad my time in the RAF has finished
    2
  655. It wasn't a launch event. Anson has been in the water for months. It was commissioning into the RN i.e. the formal handover of the submarine from construction to the customer.
    2
  656. Britain has deindustrialised mainly because of Tory policies over the past years. Making things was seen to be dirty and uneconomic. Much easier to shift figures on a spreadsheet in the banking sector.
    2
  657. Would that be a sight for 'sore' eyes?
    2
  658. Morale of the story - fly in aircraft with Rolls Royce engines
    2
  659. Poor airmanship and decision making.
    2
  660. All 3 branches of the UK military have lost sight of their function - to be fit, trained and equipped to win a war, should it be necessary. In the case of the RAF 1. Put bombs on target 2. Shoot down bogeys 3. Move troops and equipment to be where they need to be.
    2
  661. Bidens fault. He should have accepted his failing mental capacity a long time ago. Given the democrats a chance to select a candidate and develop a better election strategy instead of having Harris forced on America
    2
  662. Dump is a threat to the free world let alone the UK
    2
  663. Ask the general why his President is selling Ukraine out?
    2
  664. It needs the government to have the sense to spend enough on defence.
    2
  665. The UK doesn't have any spare aircraft, thats the bottom line. We are down to 130 Typhoons and a few F35s. The early Typhoons that are going out of service are not configured for ground attack. For the sake of Tory tax cuts the RAF withdrew Tornado, Jaguars and Harriers far too early - which is the type of aircraft the Ukrainians need. Short sighted UK defence cuts.
    2
  666.  @myhoose90  Why doesn't Russia stick to the borders agreed with the Ukraine in 1991?
    2
  667.  @myhoose90  Nope. The borders haven't moved. Have you got the afternoon shift in St Petersburg?
    2
  668. What the Russians don't understand - why would the west want to invade a country that is a cess pit and 50yrs behind the west. It would be nothing but a waste of our resources. The guy thinks the west is at war..... nope
    2
  669. Russia is a 3rd world country with nuclear weapons.
    2
  670.  @SteveDonaldson-r5k  The issue is that the RN constantly accept designs of warships that have really poor missile armament for land attack and even the anti ship capability is questionable. Having 2 aircraft carriers stuck back in the UK is eff all use. But yes I agree the carriers should have been built with catapults and also have been compatible with both F18 and F35 aircraft. Also a carrier borne AEW aircraft is required Yes I have been to Akrotiri a number of times when I used to wear a blue suit.

  671. Russia committing atrocities - nothing changes, its now Ukraine 2022/23 onwards

  672. O'Brien never says how many immigrants he would let in? How many is too many? How are we supposed to provided the resources for these people? Schools, housing, hospitals? Europe can't feed the world

  678. They all had a great life ahead of them. Then they blew it by joining the army

  679. If the west and Ukraine allow Russia to retain any Ukrainian territory then any future western foreign policy is worth nothing. After backing Ukraine for so long any backing down by the west would be a disaster.
    2
  680. If Russia is allowed to make any land gain out of this war, western foreign policy means nothing in the future.

  683. A video about geography - yet for the UK you concentrate on the political reasons why the UK expanded - large navy etc. Its doesn't rain all of the time. Our weather is varied, but we don't have anything to the extreme neither do we have natural disasters like earthquakes

  684. The irony of Musk taking money/working contracts for the government while cutting workers jobs who choose to work for the government
    2
  685. Well trained troops won't light fires - its not a great idea, the fire gives your position away
    2
  686. You guys need to accept that you have just voted a liar and clown into office.
    2
  687. Little point in ranting. Its not as if Labour/Starmer are going to change anything. Labour are scared of their own shadows over reversing Brexit. The best you will get from a Labour government is for them to very closely align government and national policies very closely with the EU. We need a political party who will make a clear manifesto pledge to rejoin the EU
    2
  688. Paying the price of political complacency and short-sightedness. The Tories have been too concerned with giving tax cuts so cut defence. Labour simply saw defence spending as a waste of money and had different priorities - NHS, welfare support etc
    2
  689. It will be so funny to see this clown voted out at the coming election
    2
  690.  @BBob1  Me too
    2
  691. In many wars its been shown that bombing civilians will NOT drain their morale etc and cause a surrender. It never happens. The sooner someone takes Putin out the better. Why does western media give Putin and his cronies and their lies any news worthy value?
    2
  692. How long to the next election, so we can get rid of these clowns?
    2
  693. Eat Out to Help Out always was a stupid idea. A transmissible infection and this clown thought it was a good idea to encourage people to go out and mix with other people.
    2
  694. The African leaders won't stand up to Putin because they are as corrupt as Putin.
    2
  695.  @FastJetPerformance  Join the club. Similar background from wearing a blue suit
    2
  696. O'Brien is a clown. Surely even he can see people are coming into the country faster than housing and infrastructure can be built. Thus driving up pressure on housing etc for everyone - cost, availability etc. We may well need immigration - but not unmanaged immigration where anybody seems to think they can just walk in / sail over from France and get automatic right to stay. Just because he talks in a reasonable manner doesn't mean he is right. Its nothing to with skin colour or religion - its to do with available resources.
    2
  697.  @mike-myke22  O'Brien won't accept any different opinion

  700. Truss is utterly deluded.
    2
  701. UK here. You have voted in an utter moron. You can close all of your military bases in the UK, if America wants out of NATO. That applies to the rest of Europe. If this happens Trump will lead you to a strategic error. Trump is security risk to us all.
    2
  702. Paying the price of western stupidity to trust and think Russia had changed.

  703. Utterly deluded. Lets hope the people of Norfolk do the right thing at the election and boot her out. She can then FO and go and live in America

  704. The crash in the UK - Kegworth air crash is a note worthy crash - crew resource management and flight deck instruments ergonomics were relevant to the cause of the crash.

  709.  @julieclonan2427  Who wants it to go below its natural level. The issue is the increase in Co2 levels. Explain the increase in Co2 levels since the 1840s or so. Hint its not caused by volcanic activity. Solar activity isn't causing global warming. What else is causing an increase in Co2 in the atmosphere

  714. Its a training exercise. If they were really in combat, the French would have retreated along time ago, once there was incoming fire.
    2
  715. Starmer and Labour have got their heads buried in the sand.
    2
  716. Strategic fail by Putin. Instead of less NATO on the Russian border, Russia has more NATO on their border with Finland. The Russian's only have themselves to blame, attacking a peaceful neighbour

  720.  @reallymakesyouthink  Dream on little putin bot. 10days to capture Kiev... 21/2yrs later and Russia has yet to achieve any war aim. The Nazis are in the Kremlin
    2
  721. The hypocrisy of Ellwood. Its the Tories - Cameron and Osborne that massively cut UK Forces.
    2
  722.  @miteshghadi3146  Yup the American economy is growing by 2.5% yr, so debt can be paid. Borrowing to expand the economy is good. On the other hand Russia has less debt because the world doesn't want to trade with Russia. Hence why the Russian economy is flopping
    2
  723. You clown. Why would Ukrainians want to be Russian? Russia offers nothing but war, death destruction of corruption by Putin.
    2
  724. You guys had Trump once so knew what he was like, yet you still voted for him again. No accounting for the people of a stupid nation.
    2
  725. Basically Russia is a backwards and uncivilised country
    2
  726. Was Stanley asked what's it like to have a son who is a wanker?
    2
  727. Criminals yeah, lets promote Trump - a convicted criminal, effectively guilty of rape. A great example of a leader to look up to...NOT If you had done half what Trump has done as a commissioned RAF officer you would have been kicked out. Why are you lead and influenced by clown Trump?
    2
  728. UK stands with Canada. Time for the remainder of the west to oppose America. Lets remove any notion that America is the leader of the free world.

  733. Mickey Mouse would be a better president
    2
  734.  @ianwebb1402  All true but it doesn't after the fact the procurement system must be faster. There isn't time in a war to wait. What do we say to Russia, hang on wait 18mths before attacking us, we aren't ready. The whole NATO assumptions for years has been that any war will be short - weeks/months. As can be seen from the Ukraine war that is an incorrect planning assumption.
    2
  735. America lead by a coward and surrender monkey. Total appeasement of Putin. Russia will start another war within a few years. America can no longer be trusted
    2
  736. Don't look to Labour to make any decisions to reverse this national disaster
    2
  737. Pity the Ukrainians can't have 100 of them

  738. Brewer is pretty dim. This is what her fellow Brexiteers wanted.

  740.  @theodoremaximillios1797  In the history of anti tank/anti vehicle warfare, all vehicles are vulnerable. I'll keep my faith in RPGs doing sufficient damage to stop and take out the vehicle either by direct attack or with additional attack by infantry.
    2
  741.  Din Djarin  Don't think so. All vehicles are vulnerable. I would put the RPG man hiding along the side of the road, stay hiding and wait for the vehicle to pass. Engage the vehicle with machine guns/small arms fire and ideally a 2nd RPG. Wait until the dismounts open the rear doors to jump out. Once the rear doors are open, the first man with an RPG who is still hiding in cover, can then fire into an open vehicle. Game over. Dead vehicle and dismounts.
    2
  742.  Din Djarin  Not been a vehicle designed or built that isn't vulnerable. As I say, wait for the rear to open and pop in the RPG. You are either dumb or stupid not to accept a vehicle can be knocked out.
    2
  743.  Din Djarin  Well thats a change of tune. You and Titancor were insisting that this vehicle wasn't vulnerable. Russian equipment certainly isn't invulnerable, why would I think that - I've already stated all vehicles are vulnerable.
    2
  744. Its funny watching from the other side of the Atlantic what you guys have voted for - a liar for president, who should be in jail.
    2
  745. You may have noticed that the UK/NATO are not involved in the Russian-Ukraine war, so Sunak doesn't have a frontline to visit.

  818. I'm close to retirement now but as a younger guy I trained as an A&P engineer in the UK RAF. The pay was ok. However upon leaving the RAF I found to then work in civil aircraft engineering my RAF experience and qualifications were hardly recognised. Effectively to satisfy the UK CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) engineering requirements I would have had to effectively be retrained. I get the need to be type rated for aircraft types but the CAA wanted even basic aircraft engineering training courses to be done again - adding lots of costs to the retraining. Result I left the aircraft industry - it was difficult to accept at the time, as I enjoyed/enjoy working with aircraft and associated technologies. I'm not sure what the current arrangements are for those leaving UK military aircraft engineering into the civil side. I hope its improved. And yeah - surprise surprise pay and treat your people badly they leave.

  863. Here is a link to a similar video made by a US family who live in Germany. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKMKQP-iv8E&t=1s Here is an edited version of the comment I made there (to make sense here). Most of the holiday rules and number of days off are the same as Germany. Standard UK holiday is 25days + 8 Public holidays - all paid. As with Germany if you are sick while on holiday, you can claim them back as sickness time. Maternity, not too sure - I'm passed the young kid stage, but I think it something like 12mths post birth. Maternity leave from starts from 11weeks before the expected birth date, certainly not working up to day of delivery. UK minimum wage is £9.18/11eur/$12 per hour - so not great, but better than the US. Most companies pay more. Its almost a Victorian attitude to holiday in the US -'the company will never make a profit if we pay for your time off'. No interest in encouraging you workers to take time off, to come back motivated to work more/better and feeling refreshed?? In all my life I've never seen any reason to even consider living in the US - both from the employment, social and medical point of view, the US is years behind lots of other countries, especially European countries. Medical care - we have the NHS in the UK, its far from perfect - but nobody goes into debt because of medical bills, you get medical treatment based on your medical needs, not what your insurance policy will pay for. America isn't the land of the free. Its the land of the exploited, as someone says in a comment here - your 'benefits' are our rights. And before the Americans say you have socialism - no we don't, we just have laws to give everybody a decent work - life balance.

  922. For a flame out in flight, the air speed causes the dead engine to still rotate. So all that is necessary is to select the engine igniters on and ensure the HP fuel valve is selected on. There is a time delay - if airborne after a wet start i.e. no ignition, then the fuel injected into the combustion chambers is given time to drain away. To start with excess fuel in the combustion may result in a hot start. If starting on the ground, the same reason also if starting from battery power to turn the engine over, excess use of the batteries will lead to over heating of the battery terminals

Seems like a poorly thought out procedure instead of going from the VOR to NDB FP, why not turn right to 302 at the VOR and fly parallel to the runway for whatever the DME to the coast is, maybe 10DME?. Then turn left to around 230 and descend to the ILS intercept height over the sea, Then turn left to intercept the ILS and confirm NDB FP is then straight ahead on 122 the runway heading. This way you remove the risk of flying over terrain of varying elevation. When they develop a procedure don't they assess the risk of how a pilot might incorrectly fly the procedure. Descending over the sea of known constant elevation is nearly always better than descending over land, I would think

  942. Since the fall of the USSR all western politicians have been gullible thinking Russia would ever change. Look at the defence cuts inflicted by Cameron and Osborne - an utter disaster for UK Forces. It takes 24hrs to slash defence spending, 10years + to rebuild.

  944. We can't provide tanks, our idiotic government has cut the British Army tank regiments down so much they are too small to be be combat effective. The last figure was down to 227 Challenger IIs, reducing down to 130 or so for the whole army.

  945. Not much point having military grade air surveillance radar unless you also have long range SAM missiles and/or fighter aircraft to intercept incoming aircraft. Just having a radar just means you can see your enemy attacking you. If Ireland doesn't have SAM missiles or fighter aircraft - the radar signal would have to be passed to the UK so the RAF could launch fighters and tankers to intercept the bad guys. Russia could attack Ireland by long range bombers with missiles either by a long range mission out into the Atlantic before turning back east and attacking Ireland from the west. Alternatively forward basing bombers in Cuba or Venezuela. TU95 Bears have a range of around 9000miles, so could easily fly such missions.

  973.  @markcroxteth2108  Not at all. Clearly our electoral system has its faults. However we elect a political party and not the head of government it is for the elected party and its members to decide who then leads the party and hence is PM. There are clearly faults to this, but to give Putin any credibility is just ridiculous
    1
  974.  @markcroxteth2108  I agree the Tories are a complete shower and not worthy of being in government. It doesn't alter the fact that under the UK system the Tories won the last general election, therefore have a mandate to be in office until either they are obviously forced into another GE by the passage of time or are forced to call a GE due to a political circumstances. A PM can appoint who they want to be in their government. Whether they are following their last manifesto / performing as the population want will be decided at the next election. Would you be saying the same thing if Labour had recently replaced its leader and set up another government? I suspect not. For the previous reasons given, Putin has no space to comment in any context.

Annual healthcare is about £4000/$5300 per year (depends how much your salary is) for any healthcare that you might need at any time. If you are without a job, no issue, you still get the same treatment. Nobody dies in the UK because of refusal of healthcare due to lack of money.

  1083.  @andrew6978  Very true, but the comparison is valid. Simply because of the reduced visibility distances in terrain with more trees and buildings

  1084.  @mandtgrant  Agree, but the proposition that western tanks are not going to take any losses because they are so much better technically than the old T72 etc is just nonsense. No tank has ever been built that cannot be destroyed. When you start off with a low number of tanks, means every loss matters. The Ukrainians will also have their own logistic demands with operating so many different types of tank. It doesn't have to be another tank that kills a western tank - anti tank mines, ATGMs, artillery etc

They had 20yrs of western support to help them modernise and to improve their infrastructure etc. Totally rejected. How far back in history do you want to go back and still blame Europeans for the modern day problems of the world. Much of the Middle East is corrupt and/or has leaders who want power and can't agree a democratic government- take the current near war and break down in society happening in Sudan. Fed up of hearing its ALL because of nasty Europeans/Americans and our history. We are not responsible for the behaviour of our ancestors 2-300yrs ago. We have managed to forgive Germany for the horrors of the 1930/40s but not Europe for the actions of the 1700/1800s. Fogarty just laps it all up that the UK/Europe is responsible for everything.

  1128. Just take a look at the Crimebodge channel to see how the police abuse their powers. Never trust or help the UK police.

  1129. Boycotting US products as much as possible. Its catching on here in Europe. Selling out Ukraine

  1130. Excellent

  1131. Not sure what the situation was in 1998 with original running German vehicles, but now looking across a number of YouTube military vehicle channels it now seem the majority of the main German AFVs have a least 1 vehicle in running order that have been restored. So any future WW2 films should be able to source a running vehicle if needed.

  1132. Guess they don't like to mention the gun is German

  1133. Poor performance by UK government, only to be expected

  1139. Back to the Kremlin. You have achieved very little at great expense. Attack NATO if you think you are any good. Much easier to bully smaller countries.

  1140. Only if America can make money out of any deal

  1141. Other websites say the vehicle ran over a mine, not hit by a missile

  1145. I would say you are 99 per cent fluent in English, all be it with American-English, rather than correct English.
    1
  1146. The big mistake NATO and the West made was before the war started by telling everyone that that NATO would not fight with Ukraine. Therefore Putin knew he could invade without the risk of NATO joining in. NATO should have given vague answers and left Putin guessing. It might have stopped the war / Russia invading.
    1
  1147. Of course the missile attack is justified, its war.
    1
  1148. Easier said than done
    1
  1149. Indeed, kick Turkey out of Nato if need be. Sweden and Finland bring more value to Nato than Turkey
    1
  1150. Yet the Tories still operate under the delusion that they can keep cutting taxes. Defence costs, its worth every penny. Tax should be what it needs to be to fund defence and all other public services.
    1
  1151. Bet many of these fired federal workers voted for Dump. Only themselves to blame.
    1
  1152. If Trump becomes POTUS Europe had better increase defence spending. America can no longer be relied on to fulfil its NATO agreement. All rather galling considering America is the only NATO country to invoke NATO article 5 after 9-11. NATO troops died for America. My country, UK, lost 457 troops fighting for America. Germany lost 59 troops Now it looks like Trump will blow it all back at us. Europe must be very careful trusting America while Trump is around. Let's hope Mother Nature takes him before he gets elected or the American law works and they put the Orange Clown in jail.

  1158. Typical YouTube American perspective on science. Much of the early work was also completed by Ernest Rutherford in UK at Manchester and Cambridge universities, as well as in New Zealand and Canada. At least Marie Curie was just about mentioned.

  1159. I doubt if the UK will give any aircraft. We don't have any spare aircraft. Thanks to short sighted UK defence cuts by our government.
    1
  1160. A seriously warped view of the west - why did you join the RAF and get to the position of bomber pilot if you don't believe in NATO and the west?. The RAF is probably best off now you have left. Knowing your attitude - I might have pulled your seat straps extra tight when you were crewing in. Maybe you should recall the fact that over the past 100yrs or so Russia has attacked or occupied just about all of it neighbour European countries. War, violence and intimidation is what Russia does to others. So is it any surprise that countries bordering Russia have (and want to) join NATO at the 1st opportunity. Why do you think Poland, Rumania, Bulgaria, Slovakia joined NATO? They had experienced Russian occupation since the end of WW2. It takes some doing for neutral countries Sweden and Finland to change their political neutral status to join NATO - all because they are concerned that Russia will attack them. What caused that? Russian aggression and Russia starting a war.

  1165. The US won't let a woman decide what to do with her own body regards abortion, but has no problem with kids being slaughtered regularly by a guy with a gun in a school. A bizarre society.
    1
  1166. This sounds like shipping equivalent of the recent helicopter/aircraft crash in the US. Unnecessary close proximity of traffic when there is no need for it. Is a long term solution to designate and mark anchorage boxes on maritime maps where transiting vessels are not allowed to pass i.e. force the transiting traffic further out to sea instead of being relatively close inshore.
    1
  1167. Come now, it was very obviously pilot error.....

  1168. Can we expect Putin Crescent soon?

  1169. Not buying until more airports/airfields are available. Premium Deluxe for me, quite cheap at $120/£100 UK. However, really needs all of the worlds airports/airfields. SO a little let down if only a few airports at initial release

  1184. Its the law in the UK to have a kettle, so tea can be made. Brits don't function without tea

  1185. The Tories bribed the country with tax cuts, so something had to go. Politicians conveniently forgot about the Russian threat as it has been inconvenient. If NATO does go to war, young lads will pay again because of the incompetence of politicians. Train hard, fight easy as the saying goes. So glad my time in UK Forces is over..

  1190. Poland have a 100yr old score to settle with Russia. The Polies would love to hit the Russians
    1
  1191. I've said it before - the RAF have forgotten their purpose. 1. To train and produce an effective air force of all trades/disciplines. 2. To put bombs and missiles on target 3. To shoot down bad guys. 4. To move men and equipment to where needed by air. Ex techie

  1192. Its what you get when you vote in a liar and a clown to be PM. You believed his Brexit lies. Oven ready? It wasn't even out of the freezer.

  1193. Ah the cost of a trade deal with India - getting flooded with Rishi's relatives. What was wrong with other Europeans coming to the UK. So the west funds India and other similar countries for climate change - meanwhile India has the money to fly rockets to the moon and to operate nuclear submarines. How about India takes a hike?

  1201. Russia is a great country but completely shafted by its own government and rulers for the past 100+yrs.
    1
  1202. Get the USN to donate a few Tomahawk armed cruisers and destroyers to the Ukrainians, Train up the crews to fire the missiles. They could launch from either the northern Mediterranean Sea or from the Baltic Sea and start hitting Russian military bases in Russia or the Kremlin itself.

  1203.  @ChristopherJackson-n7t  Another deluded believer

  1204. The sick thing is the US economy was doing ok under Biden. Yet Trump convinced you fools that it was a disaster. Take what you voted for. The rest of the world will try and isolate all things American
    1
  1205. You guys had Trump the first time so knew how bad he would be. Yet you have still voted for the Orange clown again. Hard to have much sympathy what he does to you within America. Externally America will never be trusted again.

  1206. Different missile fired from the one being set up. As with anything from Russia, don't believe a word they say.

  1209. Who was the idiot commentator saying RAF Transport Command!!! (2min 35)The RAF disbanded this organisation many years ago. The commentator is a real turkey, about 2.45 he mentions an Atlas and C17, then seconds later he calls the Atlas a Hercules. The '70' was by Typhoons not the Red Arrows. Utter Knob

  1222. Serious questions over the American political system that judges Trump to be fit to lead the country. All of those 26 women can't be wrong.
    1
  1223. The usual delusion by IDS. The red herring of immigration - the boat people are a distraction only a relative small number of people. The vast majority of immigrants come under existing schemes like students, Ukrainians, Chinese people leaving Honk Kong. The Rwanda policy is a complete waste of money.

  1233. More nonsense from the head shed. If the government keep cutting defence spending, at best it will be like Dad's Army
    1
  1234. Funny Tories like Neil have been constantly pushing for tax cuts over the past 20yrs, so the obvious thing to do was to cut defence spending. After all UK politicians have been dumb enough to think Russia had changed. The tax cuts of course going to Tory mates

  1239. Sounds like you need to get longer arms to reach the controls.

  1240. Stupid way of training troops. UK troops are treated far better and expected to work for the team. We end up with well trained troops. Peer pressure is used to encourage people and some shouting and physical demands. But the instructors don't scream and shout like this

  1258. It doesn't say much for US security and control of access to classified documents. Why was such a load grade soldier allowed access. Maybe the documents are just plants in any case?

  1261.  @niburu1508  You can't stop people wanting more freedom and better government. A leaders/government that doesn't throw you in jail for having a different view than a corrupt dictator like Putin. Russia may occupy parts of Ukraine for now, but they will never control Ukraine. One day Putin and his thugs will die.

  1263. Hague is talking out of his rear end

  1264. SO what if the US no longer looks at Europe as an important foreign policy. Russia have shown themselves to be pretty incompetent. Europe is 500m people with so a rival to America and certainly more capable than Russia economically. EU politicians just need some back bone.

  1265. Why didn't they bring a RIB boat so they didn't get their boots wet?

  1271.  @johnmartin7158  Which isn't good enough
    1
  1272. The chances are its a 'human factors' accident. The Blackhawk pilot maybe confused which aircraft he was supposed to see. Its also difficult to make out the lights of an aircraft against the back ground of lights on the ground

  1273. The financial markets are sensible enough to know that seizing Russian money is a 1 off event, that doesn't affect the financial trust and stability of the normal financial markets.

  1276. All that money and still only the 2nd best navy in the world.

  1277. 'Socialism' is awful, here in the UK everybody gets adequate medical regardless of the ability to pay. Employed people get employment rights - the right to a minimum wages, female workers get maternity pay and time off, all workers get a contract of employment that gives them rights to paid time off from work - minimum 20days, most get 32days. Annual statutory holidays - Christmas, Easter etc Its funny watching the new period of darkness in the US, even more funny that you guys have voted for it. Enjoy the next 4yrs folks

  1284.  @ericp1139  I don't see NATO fighting China. The Americans might. I think nato would achieve air superiority over Iran, the main problem nato would have is lack of certain friendly airfields close enough to operate from. Turkey isn't likely to agree, only America/UK/France have aircraft carriers.

  1295. Attack helicopters are rapidly becoming outdated technology. Look at the use of drones in Ukraine.
    1
  1296. The solution is easy - 1 press release from Putin ordering all invading Russian troops out of the Ukraine.

  1297. So what did Putin/Russia expect? That the west would make no response after Russia invaded the Ukraine.

  1306. MG was a complicated plan that relied on too much to 'go right' for it to be successful. The Allies still under estimated the German's fighting ability as late as 1944. Even 3mths later they still counter attacked in the Ardennes. On the other hand, instead of an Allied defeat it could be argued that MG was 75% successful.

  1311. Brexit is lies and delusion. The referendum was so close as to be still open to reversal. The referendum was badly organised. There was no suitable study of the likely effects of Brexit.

  1312. The Tories are more interested in funding tax cuts to bribe the electorate. Look at how much our defences have been cut in the past 14yrs
    1
  1313. What do people expect? For the past 20yrs all governments have been dicing and slicing all UK Forces - reduced pay and conditions. Reduced pensions. The MOD needs to realise that they are in competition for young people. WHy join spend months away from home, for poor pay and possibly might get killed. And get no thanks for it.

  1327. When I was at VY, on the T Mk1's it was quite common to see 3 flight lines lined with jets. From memory about 25 on 2 flight lines and 15 on the 3rd flight line. Think we had something like 60 Hawks on strength. I then went onto tankers 101Sqn I was a techie

  1328. Thats the bit Russia must accept. Ukraine has every right to decide what military alliances it makes. At some point Putin will die and his deluded ideas with him. Russia won't improve until the Cold War generation has died off.

  1330. Many aspects of English law are biased against men. Have you tried complaining to the police about a woman making a false and malicious sex crime allegation - the Plods simply aren't interested in investigating. They block and stonewall and automatically believe the woman.

  1335. Time for Europe, Canada and other western countries to form an alliance to oppose everything Trump is doing on the world stage. I don't care how much damage Trump does within America. Americans voted for the orange clown.

  1336. Probably one of the biggest problems you have in the US are the climate change deniers and who see no reason to move away from fossil fuels. No doubt lots of political objections coming an delays in your government system

  1342. Jam the GPS signal.
    1
  1343.  @comrad9  What a clown. GPS is used as a generic term for any satellite based navigation system - so it it includes your crappy GLONASS. Given the way your lads and tanks are doing in Ukraine - getting their asses kicked, I doubt if your GPS system is any good. And you think you can take on NATO. Best thing you Russians can do is to remove Putin.
    1
  1344. Complete nonsense. Russia/Ukraine agreed their borders in 1991. Russia needs to accept that Ukraine can make whatever political and military alliances it chooses as an independent country. Remember over the past 100yrs or so Russia has attacked and invaded just about all of its European neighbour countries. If Russia wasn't so aggressive its neighbour countries wouldn't need the protection of the NATO organisation.

  1357.  @wsm7929  Agree, the Germans have particularly been timid in their response for quite a while. But yes, I guess that was the assumption both by NATO and by the Russians, that Ukraine wouldn't put up much opposition. SO Russia thought they would get away with the invasion at little cost and the West resigned themselves to diplomatic protests, but not being able to do much about the Russian invasion.
    1
  1358.  @rosemaryspiota9836  Garbage. Russia's neighbours joined NATO, nobody forced them to, because they knew what Russia is like. Russia can't be trusted - as we can see, not to attack neighbour countries. Over the past 100yrs Russia has attacked or occupied just about all of the countries on their European/western border. Simples, Sergei. Russia can't be trusted.
    1
  1359.  @tonygreen6185  Nice one - except I don't have to, my county isn't at war. I did my time in NATO forces as a younger guy. DOn't tell me - you are a Russian troll hiding behind a western name.
    1
  1360.  @tonygreen6185  In the last 100yrs Russia has attacked or occupied just about all of its western neighbour countries. The ex Warsaw Pact countries wanted NATO protection from Russian aggression. Well justified given what Russia is doing to Ukraine. Russia must accept its neighbours can seek whatever military and political alliances they want to.

  1361. Don't buy American. That's what's happening in Europe

  1367. Now you Americans have crapped on Ukraine and aren't interested in Europe, not many US HIMARS will be getting flown on NATO aircraft. Europe doesn't need friends like Trump's America. FO out of Europe.

  1374. The environmental guy lost all credibility - he doesn't understand the basic of science of nuclear weapons and civil nuclear fuel - civil fuel isn't enriched enough to be in a bomb.

  1375. About the only point you can counter argue here is right at the end, with Le Penn now wanting to keep France in the EU and wanting to change the EU from within. Thats what the UK wanted to do, but was blocked at every attempt at reforming the way the EU operates. Maybe if the EU had been more open to change 10-15yrs ago dissent wouldn't have built up in the UK, leading to Brexit.
    1
  1376.  @AlexGys9  And thats the problem with the EU, if it refuses to change and compromise the way it works and what it expects members to do
    1
  1377.  @Harry-tb8yo  it is the problem of the EU, if members are suggesting alterations to the way it works and the EU totally dismisses the ideas.

  1378. Eurofighter Typhoons would be a better choice. SAAB Gripens are too small/short range and small weapon load. Typhoons are compatible with NATO, used by the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain

  1381. Its a bit late to talk about UK defence both the Tories and Labour have decimated UK defences for different reasons. The Tories to save money to fund tax cuts. Labour wanting money to spend on the NHS and social causes. It takes 24hrs to slash defences, 10yrs to rebuild.

  1396. Basically the UK government is once again compromising on defence and equipping our army with inferior vehicles.. The planned total of 148 tanks is not an effective tank force. Tanks aren't obsolete yet. Better to replace Challengers with 400 new Leopards. A proven design and in service.

  1410. Utter betrayal by America. However the notion that the rest of Europe couldn't fight off Russia is hard to believe. Russia has struggled to defeat Ukraine. Its about EU and Europe sticking together and showing political will power.

  1411. Best you guys get the Orange Man Child removed as soon as possible. He is a security risk to the US, as well as other countries

  1412. Can't see HARM missiles being modified as suggested. HARM missiles are anti radar missiles, they home in on the signals emitted by a radar. A static ground target won't emit radio/electronic signals. Some serious changes to change the missile target tracking system.

  1413. Whats the point of quoting G7 growth rates from 2020 & 2021. Its now that matters This guy is deluded and in denial

  1414. The usual Republican garbage. America is not the freest most prosperous country in the world. Many can't afford health care, limited employment rights, very limited holiday entitlement, no maternity rights. Woman can no longer choose what to do with their own bodies. Americans don't like their soldiers being killed but have no problem with 45000 of their fellow citizens getting killed each year by guns. The biggest risk to children is being shot, not car accidents - which is normal in most countries. About 225 mass shootings in the last 10yrs. How come mass shootings are pretty rare in the rest of the world? America is one messed up country. Plenty of videos on YouTube by American's realising that they have been conned. Also videos from American's living in Europe who realise life is better in Europe along with society support and employment rights

  1423. Still a 2nd rate design. Should be nuclear powered, larger aircraft capacity, catapult launchers and cable landing to allow larger aircraft, 2nd rate AEW system in the Merlins. Too many design compromises. Better than the old Invincible class etc, that's about all that can be said.

Just wait until the Torys fully privatise health care - it will be 300 pounds for an ambulance to hospital, 200 to see a doctor, 2000 for an MRI scan. Just see the videos on YouTube for Americans living in the UK who think the NHS is far better. Once its gone, you will regret it, all because you believed spaffer Johnson.

  1492.  @MentourPilot  Seems like it was a poorly written procedure instead of going from the VOR to NDB FP, why not turn right to 302 at the VOR and fly parallel to the runway for whatever the DME to the coast is, maybe 10DME?. Then turn left to around 230 and descend to the ILS intercept height over the sea, Then turn left to intercept the ILS and confirm NDB FP is then straight ahead on 122 the runway heading. This way you remove the risk of flying over terrain of varying elevation. When they develop a procedure don't they assess the risk of how a pilot might incorrectly fly the procedure. Descending over the sea of known constant elevation is nearly always better than descending over land, I would think

  1511. The most important step you can take is to stop voting for these clowns. They aren't interested in helping the general population. Election reform is also required, Our first past the post system means many don't get a voice in parliament, with elections effectively being decided by a few marginal / swing seats.

  1512. I've read this book. yes a good book. Although given the military pedigree of the author, the book surprisingly has various technical errors - if I recall correctly stating a Panther tank had a 105mm gun. Not sure if its just poor proof reading, but it doesn't take much checking to discover a Panther had a 75mm gun. So if the book makes such basic errors, are they any more errors about the Arnhem battles?

  1518.  @joem0088  Depends how much you trust the little man in the Kremlin. Suppose Russia wants to demonstrate its nuclear capability against a country supporting Ukraine but wants to avoid attacking NATO. Looking at the map for non Nato countries and cities, in range of Bears. Ah let me see, Dublin ...a good warning to Nato if it ceased to exist. Would Nato respond, not under current Nato rules. A far fetched scenario??? Hopefully, but you had better ask the little man in the Kremlin for his ideas. And because you have no air defence there is nothing you can do about it. Do you trust the clown in the Kremlin?

  1520. William Wallace - Scotland was an independent country in 1305, Scotland didn't join the Union until the 1700's. Also the London Bridge illustrated is Tower Bridge, that is different from London Bridge. Tower Bridge wasn't built until the 1800s'. Nevermind, the US version of UK history....

  1525.  @B-A-L  The reality is we aren't capable of defending ourselves. At best we have around 130 Typhoons. The RAF has reduced in size from around 90000men and 500 combat aircraft in the 1980s to now around 33000 men and the small number of aircraft. Sure aircraft have increased capabilities but 130 is simply not enough. We have limited capacity to absorb war loses and to continue fighting. What has watching Typhoons got to do with the reality of air combat?

  1526.  @HouseholdDog  But it might have stopped the war. By saying no, it effectively gave the green light to Putin to invade Ukraine and not be concerned about Nato joining in.
    1
  1527. The only thing Russian needs to know is that they will get nothing while Putin and his criminal gang are in power. Until Russia returns to being a peaceful non aggressive than NATO rearms. Why is NATO right on Russia's border - because Finland fears Russian attack and invasion. In the past 100yrs Russia has attacked and invaded all of its European neighbours.

I'm no Tory, but let's see how far you would get if you challenged Putin for leadership of Russia. A country that has started a totally unnecessary war, invading a sovereign state that wants to choose it own future. An utter thug and dictator in Russia who suppressed all opposition. Yet their view point is given air time.

  1541. Used to use 'locking wire' pliers like these on just about a daily basis during my time working on jets. What Adam didn't mention is the need to cut off the final bit of wire that remains untwisted, remembering to catch/retain the piece of wire cut off. Having a loose article inside an aircraft is a major 'no-no'. You then bend over the final 1"/25mm of the 'pig tail', as the cut off end is quite sharp. Aircraft locking wire is stainless steel not soft aluminium. The reason for bending over the pig tail end is because its very painful, when you have your hands inside an aircraft access panel and you accidentally impale a finger / finger nail onto a piece of locking wire, that hasn't been bent over!! Eff in heck, it hurts. Have done it too many times to forget the pain.

  1576. Ultimately its all a massive Russian strategic failure/ Putin and his criminal government totally underestimated both the Ukrainian ability to fight back and not accept Russian rule.

Instead of less NATO, Russia has more NATO and right on its border.

  1643.  @TomGayler  But you would still have to transport the men and equipment from England to the departure airfields in Europe. Effectively you are foubling the transport movements. Even if moving the troops by road/shop would be both slower and require shipping space. It makes little sense to do this. They were unlucky with the UK weather but its hardly surprising as September can be variable as autumn season develops.
    1
  1644.  @TomGayler  I don't know when/over what time period the weather was bad in the UK but my understanding the weather was fog, stopping all flights. Maybe the bad weather extended into northern France? Agree the equipment was air transportation but you still doubling the flights required/delaying the movement. Also was there the airfield space at airfields at logical locations or were they being used by shorter range fighters etc?

  1646. Car technology may well have improved since the speed limits were set, however human reaction times have not changed, thats part of our biology.
    1
  1647.  @Photoandcargeek  However your argument is selfish and not realistic. Not all road user can afford cars with the latest tech. Some drivers always will be less confident etc. Pedestrians doing unpredictable things, so obviously driving slower gives the car driver a greater probability of avoiding them. Therefore speed limits have to be much less than car technology can theoretically deal with.
    1
  1648.  @Photoandcargeek  Of course life is a risk. All that I'm saying is that speed limits are set to make a reasonable risk balance for all road users and pedestrians who have different views of risk and abilities.
    1
  1649.  @Photoandcargeek  Accidents between 20 and 30mph speed limits may not vary much, however the consequences of an accident will vary for the better. Remember from physics energy is 1/2 x mass x velocity ^2. So the difference could be at 20mph impact walking away badly shook up or a broken limb. Whereas at 30mph impact its disablement or fatal. Its about total risk management not just how the driver perceives the risk. Its pointless comparing the speed limits in other countries, the speed limits are what they are in this country.

  1650.  @Photoandcargeek  Remind me not to be on the road when you are. Attitude is everything. Aviation engineering is my background, safety is paramount.

  1685. As someone said about Jutland - 'prisoner assaults jailer'. Germany never again in WW1 challenged the RN at sea by surface warships. A strategic victory for the RN

  1687. The west believed the Russian propaganda for too long, that the Russians had a competent army etc. Ukraine has proved this to be wrong. Also western countries have been too concerned with their own economies getting damaged,

  1692. The extra Russian troops will be a liability. With winter coming soon, they will need food and logistics support (as much Putin cares), warm clothing etc. The Russians have already been shown to have poor logistics support for their existing troops. If Putin thinks raw conscripts will win against modern precision artillery and rockets then he is very deluded. Artillery is the big killer in wars and has been for a long time. Many of these poor troops are going to get slaughtered provided the west keep supplying artillery systems are ammunition. WW2 tactics of massed infantry assaults don't work anymore.

  1693. Time to kick Turkey out of NATO. The country need to decide who's side its is on - the west or Russian side. Its ridiculous that 1 county can block new members joining NATO. Same goes for Hungary.

  1697. There are less cops on patrol because dimwit Tories don't want to pay tax. Therefore less money to fund the police. Its not difficult.

  1698. Quite a number of videos now say the Ukrainians didn't actually sink this ship. There is limited evidence of a missile impact. Some are putting the loss of the ship to an ammunition handling accident with the resulting fires and explosion. Nevertheless it good to see Russia take more damage.

  1701. Everybody agrees the economy must grow to fun government spending. However you don't grow the economy by borrowing money to fund tax cuts for the already rich people. Truss is utterly deluded and must be removed asap. The Tories no longer have a mandate. Brexit is a complete failure, always based on lies and delusion.

  1731.  @fork_n_spoon  If you do a little research, as far back as WW2, recruits for air forces are selected from the better educated lads and lasses. So no I didn't go into the army for that reason. The average reading age of recruits at Harrogate AFC is stated to be about 11-14yrs. Yes I've been to AFC and seen the classrooms. You wouldn't even get considered for the RAF with that reading ability.
    1
  1732.  @fork_n_spoon  No, why would I think that? Note you don't challenge my earlier comment about the educational requirements for joining the army. Maybe because its true and the various academic and historical reports are easy to track down.

    1
  1738.  @aspie2901  Not a UK socialist government. Look back over the past times Labour were in power, the socialist elements were supposed all peaceful and refused to spend on defence, wanted to get rid of our nuclear weapons. If Ukraine still had its nukes, maybe Russia wouldn't have attacked

  1739.  @philiprufus4427  Your point is? We don't want a war and certainly not a war that drags on for years and requires hundreds of thousands to be conscripts

  1748. Maybe if Russia stopped threatening and invading its neighbours it would help.... In he last 100yrs Russia has attacked a neighbour about every 10-15yrs. Then Russia wonder why countries want to join NATO, Finland and Sweden are welcome into NATO.

  1753. The mad thing is the US economy was actually doing ok under Biden. Yet Trump convinced you suckers that it wasn't and it would be better under Trump. You had Trump once and saw how bad Trump was. Yet you voted for him again and his lies. How stupid are Americans?
    1
  1754.  @davidalexanderlourie4371  And Russia knows what would happen in return. What do you propose? Continue to let Russia and Putin attack and bully its neighbours? I wonder which side you support.... I can guess. And I bet your real name isn't as given here.

  1757. The biggest NATO made was to state thet they wouldn't get involved in the fighting. NATO should have remained vague on the issue and left Russia wondering if NATO would join in. It may have caused the Russians to not invade.

  1760.  @mikeneufield2855  Its a pity for the normal people of Russia to have such a jerk as their leader. Obviously even more so for Ukraine. Putin certainly isn't the strategic genius he thought he was. What did he expect to happen if he invaded Ukraine, very bad advice if he thought the Ukraine would simply let him take over.

  1761. 11mths to capture nothing of great value. And Russia thinks they could beat NATO.....
