- Trooper Drake has just deployed to Mali where he will be driving and living in his Jackal 2 reconnaissance vehicle. He gives us a tour of his home for the deployment.
As part of the United Nations Peacekeeping mission in Mali, soldiers from the British Army and across defence are helping to bring peace and security to the Sahel Region.
The Light Dragoons and the Royal Anglian Regiment form the basis of the new task group comprising soldiers from across defence with a wide array of skills, from bomb disposal experts to drone operators and a state-of-the-art medical team.

You are lucky mate..we had a LWB Rover..4 men in it..spare kit..spare fuel..GPMGs mounted front and rear..2 radios..C42 A13..all your rations...personal weapon..(SLR in them days) no BVs..just a calor gas bottle to cook on..I was a Driver Op in The Recce Platoon..I drove the vehicle fixed it serviced it acted as Radio Op when we were static..as well as feeding the guys...but we were a well drilled squad...call sign 63A...happy days..
So no different other than he's in a jackal with an sa80😂
We've become so accustomed to over the top yanks that a normal squaddie gets ripped for not being hugely excited at the prospect of living in an open cage.
Not sure if the guy is tired or reconsidering life choices.
You know this was a
“who’s got a girlfriends “
“ well done for volunteering “
Job 😅
Looks a lot better than the recce ferret i use to drive
This is getting sent to the LD WhatsApp group 😆
All you slagging him off haven't got the balls to go to mali
Explain: these vehicles are exposed to small arms fire.
Isn't it dangerous for the soldiers?
How do you feel safe?
These jackals are recce vehicles- they are not supposed to be seen by the enemy and therefore not supposed to take fire. However, that said if they do take fire all 4 vehicles will return fire with 4 X GPMG and 4 X 50. Cal or 4 X GMG which is more than enough to suppress the enemy to allow the vehicles to retreat.
@@mikeyselmes7819 respect
Every time I think of rejoining I'm going to watch this video, this man's soul has been snatched (and his ally hat looks wank)
Who cares about his manner he is not a lame reporter or journalist he is a soldier and I bet he hated having to do the 50 cent tour.
Professionals don’t give a fuck about entertaining others. They leave that to clowns.
Some people call the guy Boring .......... As long as he’s Effective he can Bore Away all Day.
Gotta have your boiling vessel in a British vehicle.
Why are they still using those? It’s 2021, get them a foxhound
Ive worked with both.......Thanks but no thanks, keep your Foxhound
I think it’s a light recce role so a fox hound is to heavy
WTF are they doing there?
OpSec
How incredibly boring
@@lewis6138 should stick to his day job then.
@@lewis6138 okay. Great. Still a boring video though fella
His job isnt a journalist mate @christopherwfrancis
@@susbrody5983 bore off
Not a good idea to tell the world the vehicle capability and its weakness. This guy has no personality
@Documentary Detective civvies will always tell you what the military should and shouldn’t do without having any clue on how the military works.
The usual inarticulate grunt……
If it's not a hilux it's not fit the desert
