lost so many friends on Op Herrick, cannot believe the last 20 years have been for nothing! Ross kemp vidoes were great at the time and very close in to the fighting.
Its terrible but surely to be expected no?
Yeah It’s said it’s one of those unconquerable places historically.
Absolute joke isn't it pal.
I'm not in the army and been lucky enough to have not lost any family or friends there but it pisses me off knowing our lads have gone out, given their lives and their blood over the last nearly 2 decades all for naff all. Makes me think a lad local to me was lost in Afghanistan and we have a day every year as a community to remember him. What would he think now knowing he gave his life for it all to be undone
My cousins mind, and a few too many friends minds are still over there. They came back, physically, but their minds never did. And for what...
Watch Ross Kemp in Albert square, that was scary. A lot of people forget he's a sheakspeare trained thespian. YES THESPIAN! Speaking of sheakspeare trained actors, you have to watch "The World at War" narrated by Lawrence Olivier. It's about WW2 and is a must watch for education on WW2.
more ross kemp, loving the vidoes bro
What are your thoughts on the pullout?
RIP *every* serving Man and Woman who lost their lives in Afghanistan
Endless kudos and thanks to everyone who came home; and the ones we forget are still there

Hear hear
My cousin's fiance died out there, he was only 21. His name is Tom Curry. Theres a video on youtube about him, if you search his name and royal marines, "Commando: On the front line: Episode 8 - "Royal Marines To Your Duties" He was such a nice guy. He's buried in the same cemetery as my mum,. Everytime i go to see her i go and see him as well, i say hello and give his grave a clean. Rest in peace Tom.
Was that guys nickname Vinders? If so I remember that episode.
@@Signal11th yeah Vinders.
ive found his report on BBC, and i must say he was a very brave man.
RIP Marine Curry
My friend Dean Mead died out there he was part of 42 commando. Went out on a patrol and stepped on a ied and all for nothing. Rip to everyone who died in this pointless war
Vindas was a human battering ram. RIP.😔
I love how on combat arms channel,this guy does actually talk about what's happening and stops every now and then to talk about what's happening unlike most reaction videos who just go "damn ok" all the time
Found his channel when he was around 5k subs.. never missed a video since
One of the most genuinely likeable individuals the internet ever gave us!
Completely agree, also knows exactly what he’s talking about too
The problem with the channel is- He's NOT a Marine, he's actually in the Army. Uses the "Marine reacts" title as click bait. A bit dishonest don't you think
@@michaell31 He absolutely _is_ a Marine.. Marine is a *title* - not a job
He qualified as a Marine; that means he _is_ a Marine.
There is no such thing as a "former" Marine.
Once a Marine; *always* a Marine.
Its a *title* and *he earned it.*
Don't talk about things you clearly don't understand.
@@unbearifiedbear1885 I rode a train down to Savanah and then took a bus to Parris Island in March 1975. I graduated Boot Camp in June of the same year- Series Honor Man!. I was meritoriously promoted to PFC, L/CPl, Cpl and Sgt. I was a SSGT after six years on active duty. A picked up Gunny in nine years and WO1 in ten. Retired a CWO4 after 22 years on active duty. But-hey what do i know?
I think this series was what transitioned Ross Kemp from actor to Journalist. When I heard he was doing these series it seemed almost comical but nailed it.
Watching his career "mature" has been a trip.. if you go back and watch his early stuff, interviewing gangsters and the like, in his black leather jacket like _"our Grant",_ lol.. compare that to his contemporary stuff, dozens of frontlines, cartels and terrorist leaders later, the guy he is now; the weight his stuff carries..
Incredible
He's a big dawg for real
Before going out to Afghanistan he and the camera and sound people had to learn to use the SA80 rifle themselves - "In case you are the last man standing". They were automatic targets for the Taliban because of the strange, un-military kit that they hauled around on the battlefield. And I cherish the response of the squaddies they were with when first under fire for real; you heard lots of calls out to make sure Ross was okay as everyone took cover under fire. Sound and vision chaps possibly a bit miffed!
The amount of heavy gear they're carrying, and fighting in this muddy terrain with the heat is mind boggling, I couldn't imagine. Mad respect
Very poignant that this is posted today when it was seemingly all for nothing, despite what Blinken is claiming about it being mission accomplished and not being Saigon.
It's literally heart breaking
Despite that fact that everyone who served there knew this was going to happen, it's still heartbreaking. Especially since my country (the Netherlands) is still debating whether we should help the people who helped us... I'm in touch with one of the interpreters who worked for us, I'm horrified for him and his family. The Taliban know who he is, what he's done. And politicians are debating if we should bring them to the Netherlands. They were invaluable to us, and we're just letting them rot.
@@nightfly4664 the politicians often abandon those that have done so much and risked their lives and the lives of their families for that dream of freedom and peace,i truly hope your friend and his family make it out to the Netherlands or anywhere!!
@@stuartdavies10 Well hey, at least they rescue'd the embassy personnel... I'm not surprised this is happening, it just breaks my heart. We promised them we'd take care of them, now we can't due to politics. I know he and his family don't blame us, but I do kind of blame myself for putting him in the position to work for us (didn't do it myself, but am speaking for myself).
Thanks for the best wishes, truly appreciated! If you saw some of the footage he sent me, damn... It's bad, a lot worse than we see on our news. Our news seem to portray it like the Taliban is just riding in and taking over without being animals towards people. They are being absolutely brutal.
@@nightfly4664 hi,i'm not suprised either to be honest,there are always promises made and these people put their lives on the line because of that,the fact he and his family do not hold anyone responsible for their plight says so much about them as human beings ,i realise that it doesn't make you feel any better about it though. the uk news is the same,basically saying they're just going to roll up to the kabul city limits and wait,meanwhile apache gunships are whirring overhead ready to engage them. i can imagine (actually i don't want to) how brutal they are being.
*FYI on Ross Kemp:*
He was formally a _"TV hardman"_ on the quintessential British soap, BBC's "Eastenders" - he was on it for a long time and was a tentpole character; tens of millions of us grew up with mum watching "Grant Mitchell" every night.
After leaving the show in 1999, he was in "Ultimate Force" where he played another hardman; an SAS type guy, leader of the team. It ws sort of an early 2000's British A-Team; but without the self awareness!
As a result of those characters, Ross started presenting documentaries about gangsters, famous hardmen, criminal gangs etc and he's been doing documentary stuff for close to 2 decades.
Characters aside, he's forged in *fire.*
He's been in the *shit* and met some seriously sketchy people in some seriously sketchy places - Frontlines all over the World, Taliban and ISIS leaders, Sinoloa and other Cartels, African rebels, E.Asian Pirates, E.European Sex Traffickers... the lot
He was an actor - but he's responsible got (or at least the face of) some truly legitimate journalism
The guy is 100% the real deal and a fucking *national treasure!* lol..
you'd be _very_ hard pressed to find a more well like bloke among the forces, let alone "celebrity"
Highly recommend his episode of "Extras" with Ricky Gervais; he solidly takes the piss out of himself for the entire show, every joke at his expense - legend
However:
*The only Ross Kemp video you need to see* is
-------- "Ross Takes on Armed Men" ------
- its less than 5min long and tells you everything you need to know
Thanks!
@@CombatArmsChannel Thank _you_ ❤🇬🇧🇺🇸❤
Definitely check out the episode of "Extras" - its brilliant
Proud to say both of my great grandfathers served with the Royal Irish in WW2 in Burma
There is a Dutch "documentary" called 9:11 Zulu. This was the time one of our Commando (Green Berets) units got ambushed (360 degrees for a while) and the documentary maker, Vik Franken, had to pick up a weapon himself, that's how bad it got. Sadly, I cannot find it with English subtitles. There used to be a version of it online, but it seems to have vanished. It's an excellent documentary, with the soldiers telling how it is. Our politicians were not at all happy with it, it was hilarious.
Thanks!
Have you seen the one with the documentary maker filming with anti-drug police in some S.American jungle, Columbia, Panama maybe, where they get ambushed by cartel/militia and shot up?
Its fucking *crazy*
I’m in this video Ross was a great bloke throughout.
Thank you Sir
Mental! Couldn’t imagine going to war, seems like something unreal
Sorry that you were misled and convinced to go abroad and fight strangers.
You weren't Jackie Chan were you? 😉
Per Ardua. 🫡
LOOL is that Ana hip firing standing straight up with no cover, while talking on the radio?
Is there any other way?
Yep, and I guess that's another reason why they folded so quickly.
You definitely need to check out Ranger Media if you want to know more about the royal Irish regiment. he is a serving sergeant in the royal Irish who created a channel to talk about the British army and the regiment and ended up becoming an official recruiter. Makes some savage content that you would definitely enjoy.
I served 3 tours in iraq, the biggest flashback for me was when they're reloading, everyone's hands are shaking
The calmness under fire is amazing. There are literally bullets whizzing about and these guys are cool.
Always more Ross Kemp! His stuff is amazing.
Rest in peace to all the coalition troops who gave their lives in vain only for the Afghan army to give up the fight so soon and join the Taliban, you’re forever in our hearts brothers and sisters!
Afghanistan will never change, police/army were always going to surrender without a fight. That country is beyond help and change has to happen within where the Taliban can't use the holy war excuse to brainwash people into joining, RIP to all the troops.
I don't think it's fair to blame the Afghan Army, the West threw them to the wolves!
@@clarkeysam Well the problem with the ANA is they have had 15 years of training with British and American forces, tones of equipment which they don't know how to use and most of them are off their head on drugs constantly (heroin) and stoned because they smoke cannabis every second of the day. They are useless when it comes to fighting and have no tactical sense. They never stood a chance against the Taliban but saying "they have been left for the wolves" is bullshit.
@@tomw6947 so you agree that we left the ANA, who were not capable of defending the country, to defending the country?! That's throwing them to the wolves!
@@clarkeysam it’s 100% fair to blame the afghan army.. they outnumbered the Taliban massively.. why the fuck should more of our troops be it British or American have to die for a country where ITS OWN people won’t fight!! All they had to do was fight and they would of easily overwhelmed the Taliban.. but instead they threw down their weapons and ran..
Freedom is never free, and now they’ll pay the price for not fighting for it.. better to die fighting on your feet than to die kneeling to the Taliban.
Fast forward to today and it seems that all the training, equipment and support given to the ANA came to nothing. Even under the noses of the Royal Irish you can see the Afghans in this clip behaving like gung-ho amatuers.
Fucking rambo wannabes aren't they
@@jakemorrison8507 I don't know if a "Martyr Complex" is actually a thing but they _definitely_ have it
@@jakemorrison8507 No, not at all, their religion dictated their actions. If they die, then it’s ‘Allah’ (God’s) will
@@jockster247 if they die its because they were stupid
Nice to see the senior officer letting his subordinates fight the battle instead of micro managing.
Shame it's gone tits up in Afghanistan now, watching this. With superior training from western nations there must be some other reason the Afghan army has caved so quickly.
Poor Logistics, Low morale, Corrupt Government, Lack of Pay etc.
It's because most of ana didn't want to fight. A small number of well disciplined soldiers have been the only ones winning battles but from what I've seen most of the ana are just there for money. Many are on drugs and have no training or discipline. They rejected us army training and many of them sold the equipment given by the us. There was a good vice documentary about it. It was never going to work. Hopefully after a few years people settle. It's better using the money spent there on aid rather than fighting.
Just like RAMBO said, Afghanistan is a Grave yard, that country has never been Conquered by any attacking nation from Genghis Khan to Russia, except now apparently by The Taliban!!
@@kickboxerforever00 : I know it’s a moot point here! However, in Afghanistan 🇦🇫, the Taliban are predominantly an indigenous force, so they aren’t conquering, they are usurping power there!!
@@theoraclerules5056 even they wont rule all seamless , there soon will be another group who will challenge them and they keep on fighting as they have from always
You really need to watch the Papua New Guinea scene where they attempt to scare Ross and he doesn’t give a fuck. U.K. TV gold!!
You really need to check out a series called "Our War", each episode goes on tour with a different regiment during our Op Herrick days, very very good series to watch if you want the whole picture...The guys in it, the support they got and what was happening at home with their families at the same time...
Dude I have the cd but I misplaced it I still have the cover
@@demonslayer1242 it`s available online to stream, 1 2 3 movies has a great copy...
Brilliant show
that series had me completely transfixed, it was incredible. the young lad that joined the welsh guards instead of working in a chicken factory is great.
@@cliveramsbotty6077 The episode with the Duke Of Lancaster`s Regiment having to go out and bait the enemy so that equipment for the Kajaki Dam could pass unmolested along Route 1 was savage!
Did you notice the guys hand shaking when he was filling up his clip at the end? Nervous energy, adrenalin overload or what!
Only echoing other people's sentiments but it's genuinely so refreshing to see an American so down to earth about other countries. Subbed for sure.
That fast air was USAF F15's. Fucking love how the UK and US forces work together.
Fighting Irish. One of the first members of the SAS was a Northern Ireland man and he was a beast. Lt Col. Paddy Blair Mayne. He alone is worth a look at, he shot up a Nazi wedding on an African air base. Inglorious bastard style kicked the door open and opened up with a sub machine gun while throwing grenades. It was so controversial there isn't much of a record of that particular raid. Should have been awarded the VC on numerous occasions but his sexuality and complete disregard for orders stopped this from happening sadly.
You need to watch the documentary about Chris Terrill, he passed royal marine selection at 55 with no military experience, and became an honourary marine, very good watch.
The 55 Year Old Commando
Its on TH-cam
Thanks for your kind words about our army. Yours aren’t too bad yourselfs 😉🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️💯
What I love about your commentary is it gives genuine context to those of us who have not served.
The situation with Afghanistan sucks. But thank you for sharing your insight and helping us civvies realise what these guys have gone through. Mad respect to all that have served.
Ross is pretty awesome! You forget, for all the 'hard man' roles he plays on TV, and in doing this series - he is just an actor - he went to drama school and did Shakespeare plays wearing tights! (Mind - if you can do that, the Taliban won't frighten you much!).
You should react to the Portuguese Paratroopers. There's a good amount of combat footage from them in the Central African Republic
Never heard of them....
@@Copykingjake not many people have, but they've been doing a really good job there.
Is this recent? They still there right now?
@@RomeoMike22Yes. They've been there since 2017. Their deployment lasts six months. In the end, the Portuguese commandos replace them. Every six months the commandos and the paratroopers switch. Both are very capable.
I wonder why so many ANA were killed in the conflict?
Then give Afghanistan back to the taliban without firing a shot after 20 years and thousands dead.
From the guy firing from the hip, they really don't give a fuck 😂
Finally some RIR content. Faugh-a-Ballagh
it’s the Irish regiment but there not all Irish...i can hear a few English guys and a few Scottish guys.. it’s a mix Basically
Royal Irish, real Fighting Men.👌🇬🇧
🇮🇪
no such thing as a "royal" Irish...
@@6Tghma Why can't you just accept that there are non republican Irish people who come from the island of Ireland. Many of them are ( apparently) represented by the colour orange on your flag. Maybe you're one of the pure bred, Irish people, who can't accept the "interloper" orange as equal to you.
@@ulsterweaver5280 orange represents the protestant community nothing about being a protestant means you must be loyal to a foreign queen or country. it doesn't matter anyway because at the end of the day loyalism/unionism is dying and Ireland with be united and nothing is stopping it from happening. When a loyalist feels so strongly about being loyal to a foreign monarchy, they can go and live in that foreign monarchs country .
@@6Tghma You are aware that the majority of the Protestant Irish which the orange apparently represents, see themselves as citizen's of the UK. That's why they serve in the UK army. Its not, to them, a foreign army. Indeed, many ROI Catholics are happy to serve in regiments like the Royal Irish.
If a UI happens, and I'm honest enough to say that it could happen ( thanks to Brexit) it doesn't necessarily mean that unionists will switch their allegiance to the Irish Army and Dublin. The young men and women, from the Shankill, Sandy row, Portadown etc, will still see the UK army as a place where they are welcome.
I think you should react to all episodes from Ross in Afghanistan. There are two or three seasons available in HD.
Disgusted bye our are pathetic government and the American government. So sorry for all that left there limbs there and for all that’s not coming home Respect xx
Check out ross kemp back on the frontline, he goes with the royal marines, anyways great vid as always!!
It was this series that changed my mind about Ross Kemp. I used to think he was nothing more than a character in a soap opera.
But he deserves credit for putting his life on the line to show us a little of what it is like for our troops. He may possibly have had a bodyguard, I don't know, but a bodyguard can't stop everything.
As for his other work, I recommend you watch the episode of him in Ricky Gervais' Extras. Taking the piss out of himself (SAS) :-).
I remember watching one of these once and the unit Kemp was with came under seriously effective fire. You could hear the distinctive crack a round makes when it passes over your head or close by. He did look a bit concerned!
if you enjoyed Ross's stuff, You should check out the VICE Doc by Ben Anderson - This is what Winning Looks like. excellent 3 part doc on the afghan war during the american pull back.
The Jackie Chan guy is probably a Tajik
There is one where Ross Kemp is with a chinook rescuing wounded troops when the helicopter takes hits, the pilot calmly comes over the radio and say's "Ok chaps just to let you know i took a round through my front windscreen, which came up and hit me in the head, i've got a bit of a crack and a bleed there".
isn't that with the guy from car dealers?
Wasn't it Mike Brewer🤔
Definitely not Ross Kemp mate. It's a fella named Mike Brewer.
th-cam.com/video/-xjbvz-vE2E/w-d-xo.html this the vid you on about and yep Mike Brewer
Yup my mistake 🤦♂️😜👍
2008 Helmand province, A company 1st Battalion 💪
oh oh, RM are here :D
God's chosen few. FAB
Well Afghanistan has about 4 different ethnic groups. Pashtuns (biggest, ethnically linked to Iran), Tajiks, Turkmen & Hazaras. The guy you mentioned looks Hazaran, descendant of Mongols
You 100% should watch the video of Ross Kemp in the jungle having a rifle (and a shotgun) pointed at his face. He asks several times "are you going to kill me?" he then proceeds to stare down the gunman and deflect the muzzle of the rifle/shotgun, he then adds "no one's gonna fucking kill me". Absolute legend.
Some great footage of the royal Irish, I'm proud to say I known quite a few members of the Regiment who served during the Afghan war and sadden to say we lost a few good men, I served in the Royal Irish all be it the Home service Battalions, the Regiment was divided into World service and Home service(which was Northern Ireland based} and dealt souly with internal security and the terrorist threat within Northern Ireland, there were many who left the home service Battalions and transferred to the 1st Battalion (world service) 16 air Assault after the ending of the terrorist campaign in Northern Ireland. Faugh A Ballagh the regimental battle cry of the Royal Irish (clear the way). rest easy all those from throughout the world who gave their lives for freedom
FAB Buddy, HS or GS, still brothers.

The Royal Regiment of Artillery, providing the wrath of God since 1716
In Ross Kemp in Afghanistan series 1 episode 1 he links up with the Royal Anglican Regiment where his family has links. Before going out he does a little training with them. Although not carrying a weapon as a journalist they decided it would be good to know the basics if the Sh1t hits the fan.
One of Ross Kemps acting rolls was as a sergeant in the SAS in a series called ultimate force.
So when he's doing the climatization training he's on the range and fires a few rounds, the range officer is reading off the scores at the end of the detail, the last and lowest score is 'Kemp, Ultimate Force my Arse!'
I'm 58 was in the Welsh guards was 19 and on rfa sir galahad I swam probably 1/2 a mile might be less marched on to Stanley within days Argentina where spineless gave up straight away knew we where a superior force. still have nightmares jumping off the ship water was freezing 15 mins in the water don't know how I made the beach just adrenaline I guess
I was on a nudist beach that same day and my Adrenaline was high too.
Irish Rangers lead the way..
I had 2 uncles in the Royal Artillery. 1 in iraq and 1 in afganestan. Both came home completly broken men
You should watch Ross with the paras In Afghan
Ross Kemp is far better at these documentaries than he was an actor.
So sad seeing this footage following what's unfolded there recently. Unfortunately I'm sure many of the Afghan guys fighting for their country alongside our boys are probably dead now if they didn't manage to get out. What a shitty situation and spectacular failure from the government.
I was going to rewatch all the ross kemp stuff but im loving ur take on it so im going to wait for u to go through them
Who would win?
Heavily armed Rangers, Marines and SOF backed up by C-130s, Reaper UAVs, F-15s and Apaches
Or
A few bois on Toyota hiluxes with aks and RPGs
In Ireland they are known as the JUDAS squad.
Why? Most of us in the UK have Irish ancestry.
Who are those guys? Jackie Chan and the blurred out face? Gurkas?
Blurred out face could be an interpreter.
Jackie chan is ANA and the other is most likely an interpreter
Cheers lads. Footage becomes clearer towards the end.
Afghan National Army who seem to have folded as soon as we left.
I remember one episode where they mark a safe path in the sand and they have to run back and someone is screaming at Ross to stay within the lines.
I think sadly they lose a guy and they find the Taliban who did it but they’re on a roof on their phone calling a cab and because of the rules of engagement they can’t take them out because they don’t have a weapon in their hand, they have to watch them get in the cab and drive off. They was so pissed off understandably and I remember seeing that and thinking our guys are fighting the enemy with their hands tied behind their backs.
Deffo one of the best (if not THE best) regiment in the British Army .. although I am biased being a Northern Irish man myself.
Give me a Scottish Regiment every time.
Bet you can't guess where I'm from? 😉
@@kenmacfarlane8744 north of Hadrian’s Wall I’m presuming lol
Jackie Chan was lettting shots off 🤣
Everyone who's been to Afghanistan and seen the place first hand knew it was all for nothing and a huge waste of time, money and lives. I believe it took me a month or so.
Best comparison i can give you, is that Ross Kemp was an actor that played the badguy/hardman in a soap. So think days of our lives kinda bad guy.
Current situation aside it’s always hilarious to see the ANA’s total lack of opsec. Casually standing up in the open setting up their mg is peak no fucks given
Fucking loving these man
... Indeed, the guy was originally in EastEnder's Soap!
The Royal Irish Regiment’s motto is ‘Faugh-a-Ballagh’ - which is Irish meaning, Clear the Way! 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
It originated from the battle of Barrosa in 1811 - the predecessors of the modern day Royal Irish Regiment were the first to capture a French Eagle standard and famously screamed “faugh a ballagh” as they advanced. To this day the officers of the regiment wear a silver eagle on the message pouch on the back of their cross belts. www.royal-irish.com/events/battle-honour-barrosa
War should only be used to achieve a very defined result, when there are no other options left. This was just a waste of everything for 20 years.
The Ross kemp interview with Mark "Billy" Billingham is good Billy did 20 years in 22 sas as well as a M.B.E, award
Various awards for bravery, before that he was in the parachute regiment, after leaving the army he was the head bodyguard to bradd Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Maybe a reaction to ''The fight against ISIS Ross Kemp Documentary'' ? Have a nice day!
That was my company in the video. I was on R+R that week when Ross came out
Jackie Chan was the nickname of an ANA soldier. The Arty fire is real footage as it came from that FOB when fired.
Taliban was around 200 metres when first engaged.
The soldier standing up firing whilst in a radio was also and ANA soldier
Fought a tough tour , that was Op Herrick 8
The OC , Maj Dave Middleton is one of the best Commanders I’ve ever worked under , I was his Det commander ( Signaller for his Company)
The "foriegn" soldiers are Afghan forces.
That ANA dude was probably Hazara, who are of Turkic/Mongol origin, Afghanistan is a pretty diverse country, ethnically and tribal.
Nice that you added this one mate. Seen this some time ago. At 11:38 we see a young lad recharging magazines and his hands are shaking uncontrollably. That is clearly a form of battle shock/ PTSD. I have not heard folks talk about these things much on these channels but I only wanted to point it out while we all enjoy the fireworks.
I noticed that too, might be ptsd, might be adrenaline (ie short lived). I hope it's the latter👍
@@2lefThumbs Good point mate. Yep, me too.
It's adrenaline, once you are under fire, all your training kicks in and overrides everything else until later. Former Ranger before these lads
The highest rate of fire on Herrick I’ve seen on TH-cam also involved RIR alongside Para Reg. That was seriously kinetic.
If you think that's close you should check out the video of a A10 close support on british troops.... nearly killed them.
th-cam.com/video/aOYWbxrlGko/w-d-xo.html
Sadly nicey died in a firefight not long after this video! RIP🙏🏼💙
You are NOT a Marine. You are a Soldier, own it dude.
Can't explain the weight we carrying out there, alot of water, ammo, weapons and body armour / helmet and specialist equipment. Then radio batterys, grenades, frag, smoke. Its hard going. You cv has to be on point or fatigue will destroy your combat efficient
The Guns are from F para Bty, 7 para RHA, number 6 was my gun. I remember this fire mission as well as all the others we gave fire support for especially when you hear your own friends on the net. Some knobhead has put a comment its fake.....nice one keyboard warrior probably the only action you've seen is on your xbox!!!!
ANA includes a lot of Hazara ethnicity, who look more east-Asian. Hence 'Jackie Chan'.
If you get a chance you need to watch OUR WAR. its a BBC 3 part documentary following the army in Afghanistan.. its awesome and intense
You should react to MERT and the evacuation of chris Grey RIP, the clips are just about the chinook not the medical personnel working on him and the family approved publication, it actually interesting the difference between US and British casevac methods with the UK sending a trauma doctor out on the helo
I've suggested this before, sadly he hasn't done it... It's a great video
3:19 haha gotta love the ANA
No headgear or armour, standing in the open, while taking fire from 3 positions, while firing his hand-me-down rifle one handed (from the hip!), while wearing a radio, while using an entirely different radio 😂
Those ANA's are just space force special task team members....
yeah proper rambo moment lol
And now we know it was all for nothing.The Afghan army just melted away and the Taliban strolled back into power
Ross Kemp was out with us in MusaQala in 2008 this was this episode, fair play to him and his crew ,
Top Gear Army videos are really good to watch
Brave men fought and died for politicians' vanity.
Brave men fighting for their country only to have their sacrifice thrown back in their face bu a cowardly American president, hang your heads in shame!!!
Honestly, modern artillery amazes me. They're dropping a shell only hundreds of metres from their own men but have the manufacturing quality and mathematics to know how to precisely calculate the distance for the shot needed.
Didn’t an army air corp pilot write off an Apache showing off for Ross kemp?
Jackie Chan looks like a descendant one of one of Ghengis Khan’s boys. I worked with one in the UK - a Buddhist who had to flee Afghanistan because of religious persecution. He had some real horror stories. He was a great bloke and hilarious nonetheless.
Ross Kemp, East Enders. He made me a brew when I was in Afghanistan in 2007
5 members of Taliban vs UK Army Air Force god danmmm 😅
Thats a British 105 mm light gun the British srmy have being using this excellent bit of kit since the 70s when it was introduced the Americans decided they needed a replacement for there Vietnam erea Field support light artillery and looked at the British 105 mm light gun and decided it was a good gun lets have it then 25 yesrs later lol 😅😅
and in the last 2 weeks, the Taliban have taken back half of Afghanistan, in another 2 weeks they will have taken back all of Afghanistan, wonder if troops will be sent back in or no point, as sending troops in the last time was a waste of everything.
