Yeah, when your boots become saturated with moisture they suddenly become much more abrasive too. I always had spare socks close to my body to dry them out even if they did not feel wet yet and kept changing them with the ones i was wearing. Simply to keep the moisture down in otherwise steaming boots while moving through the forest all day.
In the Finnish army, we were still issued footwraps in the mid-eighties, although no one mastered the art of applying them correctly, so that they'd stay put.
We Europeans share so much while still being different. It's wonderful to see the European brotherhood unite against common threats. The UK might not be European on paper, but still is to me. 🇪🇺🤝🏻🇬🇧
Right. There was no EU in 1815, when European defeated Napoleon, in 1853 when we fought Russia in defence of the Ottomans, 1904, when we supported Japan against the Russian empire again,1914 when The UK went to the aid of Belgium. Nor was there in 1939 when we had to face down the aggressor again. Nor was there an EU when I was based in Germany in the 1980s, as part of NATO. Much as I think leaving the EU was a massive blunder, it will not affect our mutual defence treaties, nor our willingness to defend smaller neighbours.
If I lived near the Russian border, I'd keep moving my fence further in, and keep making my garden bigger and bigger. Stealing Russian land, a foot at a time 😆
Maybe everything happening in the east of Europe will finally make the government see the need for a somewhat larger force. I mean we’ve sent 3 out of only 40 odd surface to surface missile launchers to be used by Ukraine, and really I don’t think we can afford to send more than that and I hope we don’t since it’d be a problem otherwise. if it were me (and I’m by no means a financial expert or military soldier at all, tho I do wish I could at some point) I’d want the British army to be at around 120,000 active personal strong with at least 75-80,000 reservists ideally. aside from that, the number of tanks is kinda small, last I checked it was around 200 odd and declining to be around 142 challenger “3” tanks. tbh the government needs to see that it can’t keep having its military capabilities decline, the less soldiers and vehicles we have, the less we’ll be willing to allocate to any war effort not on British soil.
_ Who is controlling White house? - Joe Biden on May 30 said the US would not send Ukraine long-range rocket systems dealing a blow to Kyiv, which has repeatedly asked for such weapons! Just One week after Kissinger's speech. - Kissinger, 99, in Davos May 23: The West should not seek to embarrass Russia in the Ukraine war!! Kissinger's controversial speech came three days after an article was published in the New York Times ( May 20) that, albeit less explicitly, was more or less in line with Kissinger's point of view!

Where do you live? Do you live in a free democracy, or an autocratic state with heavily curtailed freedoms and a dwindling economy that invades countries at will? Which one is defended by NATO, and which one occupied all of its neighbours and oppressed any attempts at forming democracies? Which one allows even the most stupid anti establishmentary comments on TH-cam, and which one would put you in jail for up to 15 years for them?
NATO just announced a major uptick in troops and arms in NATO's eastern flank. It will be finalized at the Madrid summit on June 29th. This is in response to Putin violating an agreement signed by Yeltsin in 1997.
Just because there are more anti tank weapons today than in ww2 doesn't make the tank any less useful or deadly. Do people who say tanks are dead in war think armies are just going to stroll into cities gun in hand and take them easily? you will always need heavy armor in war.
Issue to every family. 1 smg. 1 anti air manpad. 1 atgm. With ammo. Require all buildings to have basements or shelters. Build bunkers. Be prepared to blow bridges. Be prepared to defend airfields. Learn from Ukraine.
before you do that, go take a look at every family. see the absolute state half of them are in. then ask yourself if you're still happy giving arms of any kind at all to people of below average intelligence and little to no experience of even the smallest of arms.
30 tanks are a considerable slice of the dwindling British capability. If we do not start planning for a new MBT manufacturing facility soon. The days of the indigenous tank are over. The shame of the British Army driving around in German designed and built tanks, will have our fore fathers turning in their graves. Not quite as bad if we buy American but it's still a national disgrace. We could do much worse than starting from the existing Challenger concept. Perhaps designed around a fully integrated engine and gearbox power pack, that can be changed in 30 mins under field conditions. Giving a power output permitting several more tons to be added to the basic Dorchester hull when deployed or needed. With F35 type helmets and HUDs for the 3/4 crew. Permitting full 360' coverage with hatches closed. Rather than the days of the MBT being over, I would argue that with the new battled awareness IT available today. Combined with ever improving active protection systems. The Tank has finally come of age as a fully aware and totally integrated linchpin of armed conflict. Manned or unmanned turret, autoloader or not, 120/130/150mm gun is open to discussion.

1:00 - Haha! So what narrator said about how it forced them to "reconsider future of heavy weapons"; I did not expect what colonel said afterwards about how the lesson was that it still has a role 🤣. That was not the "highlight" of the Ukraine war up until this point. I guess they have to say that because they have to keep up those tank sales (not even talking about the fact that the Challanger 2 had documents leaked). Although I'd agree that it's the best way to attack still, ie mobility and protection from small arms fire etc, but using Ukraine as an example isn't the best example.
Active protection systems… Tanks are not obsolete, people have been saying that for 100 years and have always been wrong. The Russian tanks and the way they use them is obsolete
@@latch9781 No it shows lack of development vs drones and anti-tank capability. It's why I say wrong war to use. It would've been better if he said the Ukraine war shows that we need to work on better armor development etc.
It's doctrine, not the tank itself. Sending in tanks alone has been suicide since ww1 (the anti-tank rifle, then the panserfaust, now uav's and guided atgms) an armoured battalion with integrated air defense and mechanised infantry support will wipe the floor with any man portable system or uav. The war has highlighted the benefits of drones for co-ordinating artillery, and anti tank munitions in urban environments such as the battle of kyiv. Who would've thought? Tanks vulnerable in urban areas and to artillery. What a shock /s
Agreed. I had to spend years running about with full hot n sweaty NBC gear on every exercise, but no one seems to bother these days. Russia still has chemical weapons, and is more than ready to use them.
What a good point! Sitting here in Norway, it's getting warm, sunny and clearly season for raiding and pillage. Only need to jump into a boat and head west! The British troops didn't bring their gold and beer with them, right?
Urban warfare or be it fighting in a built up area in and on the very ground one might have to fight over, that's what you call a good preparation ! something the Russians have shown in Ukraine as seriously lacking those tactical skills !
Yep, and the UK has no problem recruiting gay service members. GASP! It even has women. I can't wait for you to go somewhere like Aldershot or Bovington to tell them how gay they are to their faces.... Oh, But Russians aren't allowed to travel abroad these days are they. Hard luck.
Ones problems is all the Nato countries need to going back to their country. also more Europe countries join Nato to protection from Russia will caught more problems between Ukraine and Russia fighting. This is a problem with Europe countries who’s joining Nato.

Keep growing
Ukraine will win
Estonia will win
All this nato pish is a madness
Where do you live? Do you live in a free democracy, or an autocratic state with heavily curtailed freedoms and a dwindling economy that invades countries at will? Which one is defended by NATO, and which one occupied all of its neighbours and oppressed any attempts at forming democracies? Which one allows even the most stupid anti establishmentary comments on TH-cam, and which one would put you in jail for up to 15 years for them?
NATO just announced a major uptick in troops and arms in NATO's eastern flank. It will be finalized at the Madrid summit on June 29th. This is in response to Putin violating an agreement signed by Yeltsin in 1997.
Ukraine will be erased from the history books.
@@thornekontos1560 The most stupid comment of the day.
Seems to be a comfortable and ergonomic driver seat setting.
And i thought i was the only one thinking it
please dont sit so close to the steering wheel.. thanks!
British are not Europeans. Irish people are even lower on the chain of hiearchy
So what are they ? Did UK drift to Africa ?
Well done U.k...
My sons going in June with 2 Rifles
No need to work hard. Think go home have a nice beer with family. not our business.
Just because there are more anti tank weapons today than in ww2 doesn't make the tank any less useful or deadly. Do people who say tanks are dead in war think armies are just going to stroll into cities gun in hand and take them easily? you will always need heavy armor in war.
Issue to every family. 1 smg. 1 anti air manpad. 1 atgm. With ammo. Require all buildings to have basements or shelters. Build bunkers. Be prepared to blow bridges. Be prepared to defend airfields. Learn from Ukraine.
before you do that, go take a look at every family. see the absolute state half of them are in. then ask yourself if you're still happy giving arms of any kind at all to people of below average intelligence and little to no experience of even the smallest of arms.
Why do women sit so close to the steering wheel?
I think the shorter ones have this silly notion of wanting to reach the pedals for some reason... 😏
Beer & women. Quality!
30 tanks are a considerable slice of the dwindling British capability. If we do not start planning for a new MBT manufacturing facility soon. The days of the indigenous tank are over. The shame of the British Army driving around in German designed and built tanks, will have our fore fathers turning in their graves. Not quite as bad if we buy American but it's still a national disgrace.
We could do much worse than starting from the existing Challenger concept. Perhaps designed around a fully integrated engine and gearbox power pack, that can be changed in 30 mins under field conditions. Giving a power output permitting several more tons to be added to the basic Dorchester hull when deployed or needed. With F35 type helmets and HUDs for the 3/4 crew. Permitting full 360' coverage with hatches closed.
Rather than the days of the MBT being over, I would argue that with the new battled awareness IT available today. Combined with ever improving active protection systems. The Tank has finally come of age as a fully aware and totally integrated linchpin of armed conflict.
Manned or unmanned turret, autoloader or not, 120/130/150mm gun is open to discussion.
100km from Russia a million miles from the fight! Stop pi ssing around.

Its all fun and games till someone gets their eye poked out
God bless Ukraine..and allies
Clip at 0:10 those guys definetly got smoked by that contact
Sergeants be the same all over the world, apparently.
Should have done the exercise in Ukraine instead.
1:00 - Haha! So what narrator said about how it forced them to "reconsider future of heavy weapons";
I did not expect what colonel said afterwards about how the lesson was that it still has a role 🤣. That was not the "highlight" of the Ukraine war up until this point.
I guess they have to say that because they have to keep up those tank sales (not even talking about the fact that the Challanger 2 had documents leaked).
Although I'd agree that it's the best way to attack still, ie mobility and protection from small arms fire etc, but using Ukraine as an example isn't the best example.
Active protection systems… Tanks are not obsolete, people have been saying that for 100 years and have always been wrong. The Russian tanks and the way they use them is obsolete
Ukraine is an example as it shows how armour has to develop
@@latch9781 No it shows lack of development vs drones and anti-tank capability.
It's why I say wrong war to use. It would've been better if he said the Ukraine war shows that we need to work on better armor development etc.
It's doctrine, not the tank itself. Sending in tanks alone has been suicide since ww1 (the anti-tank rifle, then the panserfaust, now uav's and guided atgms) an armoured battalion with integrated air defense and mechanised infantry support will wipe the floor with any man portable system or uav. The war has highlighted the benefits of drones for co-ordinating artillery, and anti tank munitions in urban environments such as the battle of kyiv. Who would've thought? Tanks vulnerable in urban areas and to artillery. What a shock /s
❤️🖖🙃
Stupid isn't danger remember that.
Alot of posturing but no action why so?
Don't forget your NBC!
Agreed. I had to spend years running about with full hot n sweaty NBC gear on every exercise, but no one seems to bother these days. Russia still has chemical weapons, and is more than ready to use them.
why is she driving like that?
UK would have a lot to learn...
Estonia needs to be careful. Latvia might invade at any time!
Look at a map.

How many British troops stayed back to defend the islands?
What a good point! Sitting here in Norway, it's getting warm, sunny and clearly season for raiding and pillage. Only need to jump into a boat and head west! The British troops didn't bring their gold and beer with them, right?
Which Islands in particular? The British Isles, Falklands? Channel?
Bobby
Urban warfare or be it fighting in a built up area in and on the very ground one might have to fight over, that's what you call a good preparation ! something the Russians have shown in Ukraine as seriously lacking those tactical skills !
May these woods never see war!
You are a bit late for that, try a history book.
Afghanistan war different than Ukraine war which has awaken Europe about security. Whole world evaluate and plan to unite to keep safe however.
I wish they deployed their efforts and armour in the red square 😀
Estonia ground force can learn from the British army well done Estonia
A gay platoon.
Yep, and the UK has no problem recruiting gay service members. GASP! It even has women. I can't wait for you to go somewhere like Aldershot or Bovington to tell them how gay they are to their faces.... Oh, But Russians aren't allowed to travel abroad these days are they. Hard luck.
Sgt. Anders Eainura, Legend.
2000 troops with 30 tanks are hardly a deterant ... thats how many troops and vehicles die/get destroyed in a week
Well that's 1/3 of the tanks available .... Sad
Ones problems is all the Nato countries need to going back to their country. also more Europe countries join Nato to protection from Russia will caught more problems between Ukraine and Russia fighting. This is a problem with Europe countries who’s joining Nato.
"All the NATO countries need to go back to their country"? Did you proof read any of that before hitting Reply? I suggest that you report back to Putler that perhaps it is Russia that needs to go back to its country. But well done, your boss has SIGNIFICANTLY increased the footprint of NATO with his warmongering attitude over the last 30 years.
Gggg
Mediocre Britain has been stirring up trouble for hundreds of years. I have nothing but respect for the British people, but their war mongering government has caused the world untold grief.
Huh how

Yeah. About that. You do know that this is the *Baltic* not the _Balkans?_

hope they will help Ukraine. poor Nato if Not. seems you die nothing learned from 1939 till 45.
We are helping Ukraine.
So you think billions worth of aid and weapons is of no help?
