    I feel the United Kingdom have the best terrestrial and Special Forces in the word. This opinion is based my experience of 20 years in the RAF and having mingled with other military members from around the world. I live in America now and I also feel British people are generally more informed and better educated. We may not be able to effect 'full spectrum dominance' or have an annual $650 billion budget to equip us, and we may also be a nation in decline, but we do have some very well trained, very effecient and highly motivated people in the British military and we should all be very proud of the British Armed Forces, especially UKSF, who, if they are not the best (because I simply don't know) are the blue print for all SF that came after them. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸

      The problem with sending modern equipment back in time is that modern equipment couldn't possibly be maintained back then. They would be able to fly for 20 minutes before their fuel or ammunition runs out and then they would become either useless or it would take a substantial amount of time to get them airworthy again.

      FallenPhoenix86 Jamie Ball I don't think FallenPhoenix86 is saying that the job of fast jet pilot isn't challenging (at least I hope he isn't) just that QRA is usually one of the least challenging parts because it normally involves sitting around (or trying to sleep) waiting for something that probably won't happen. There is a lot of being a fast jet pilot that is considerably more difficult than that.

    I spent 11 yrs in the US army (two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan), my older brother is a F-15E pilot and has flown and trained with a lot of British pilots. There are a ton of British pilots that come to the US and train with US pilots. But one thing my brother told me was that the British pilots he talked to were very excited about the F-35's they were flying and getting.
    While the Tyhoon is a very good multi role fighter, it's radar isn't the best and lets it down in some regards. So going from the Tyhoon to the F-35 is a huge jump in capabilities.

    I love how they get more aircraft ready as soon as any are deployed, just in case they need to deploy more. It reminded me of when I accidentally disturbed a bumblebee nest. I didn't realise until I was surrounded by agitated bees, circling me. Then I noticed a mouse hole or similar in the ground, with more bees coming out of it. As soon as I realised I'd accidentally entered their territory, I backed away, and the bees settled down and dispersed. This video was pretty much exactly that same drill.
