Firepower Air: Frontline Fighters & Bomber Squadrons of the Russian Air Force: • Video
Billion Dollar Base: Dismantling Camp Bastion tells the story of the team dismantling the British Army base in Afghanistan. For eight years it’s been the powerhouse of UK and US military operations. Now Britain’s biggest overseas base since World War II is closing down for good. This documentary was given exclusive access to the men and women whose job it was to pack up this giant jigsaw puzzle, ending one of the longest wars in British history.
A town bigger than many in Britain, with a massive infrastructure - airport, hospital, fast food restaurants - is being dismantled bolt by bolt and sent back to the UK. What is left will be handed over to the Afghans. But with defences and manpower depleting daily, in the face of a constant threat from the Taliban, it’s a dangerous race against time to close this city in the sand.

The Dismantling of British Base Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. For 8 years, it's been the powerhouse of UK and US Military operations. Now, Britain's biggest overseas base since WWII is closing down for good. The doc team was given exclusive access to the men and women whose job it was to pack up this giant jigsaw puzzle, ending one of the longest wars in British history.
The camp, bigger than many towns in Britain, with a massive infrastructure - airport, hospital, fast food restaurants - is being dismantled and sent back to the UK. Any leftovers will be handed over to the Afghans. But with defenses and manpower depleting daily, the future of Afghanistan could become even more precarious with nothing in between its people and the constant threat of the Taliban. And as we've heard from the US, they plan on pulling out everything and every one by September 11 of this year.

Hi
Stop war
How many trillions made by NATO military forces and their Governments for smuggling HEROIN / OPIUM out of Afghanistan for all these years... Do you want have a military base in Afghanistan to smuggle drugs and make trillions for you...
@@statecraft3603 Watch the video and answer your own Questions.
let me get this straight... when they came in they were fighting taliban few miles away... and now twenty years later, having burnt billions of dollars they are still fighting taliban a few miles from the camp... good job!
You have obviously never served.
They were just on picnic lol
What a waste
@@midknight5194 what???
@@strohdog242 the only reason they are fighting there is for gold and oil, why else
I'm sure Taliban is very thankful for their new base.
thankfulness is a human quality.
all they know now, is kneel down girls and blow their head from behind at point-blank range
❤👍👍👍👍👍
Lol an area of their own with a concrete wall around with all the equipment destroyed is now called a base
British pulled out years ago and were very strict with what they left behind, now US on other hand left billions or gear behind
It was always theirs. We just had a party there.
Apart from the human loss the amount of money and resources wasted on that hell hole it's mind boggling. Thanks to the politicians lack of respect to their constituents.
That money is only on paper, not real money, soldiers are paid, if in Britain or Afghanistan, the equipment is built by British factories,
£37 Billion pounds would've been spent, Afghanistan or no Afghanistan.
This is about brit's, it is not about how much USA spent in Afganistan! Shocking that they took the radar!!
@@MrFryfish Hey, great sarcasm! Understated, actually....
what you failed to look at is Afghanistan's strategic location. US would like to stay there forever. however, even with it unlimited printing of greenbacks have its limit.
Stop weining. now you have also to pay for rebuilding Ukraine. Ukraine wont build itself. Its he cost of freedom. Still a small price to pay.
They gave Afghanistan an empty camp with cement walls
Biden is gonna change America’s name to Americanstan!
You should be glad they did not give them more weapons that they could use in other parts of the world
And I hope the Taliban move in and pack it just before they drop a MOAB.
@@Nubbe999 what???? They left billions of dollars worth of aircraft, weapons and intelligence equipment. This shows one country packing up and leaving.
You can watch another video that clearly shows weapon cache's open to the public... Hundreds of assault rifles to pick from, plus all the gear needed for a soldier to ready-up for combat.
This is just one perspective, while there are dozens of different ones out there, trying to find the truth is the hard part.
"the concrete walls are too heavy, otherwise they would have taken them" Damm right!
0:58.....afgans really need this
i fell bad for the afghan officer,he is really trying his best
Absolutely and left Afghan forces in open sky,what a shame and so sad for Afghan forces 😢
They could have left them with some working cameras and some of the non military things that they destroyed was wasteful and silly
Of course they left it because it was heavy. And while they took all the equipment, there’s no assurance they won’t fall in the hands of the taliban. Would you leave equipment that could come to bite you in your back with forces that haven’t shown that they are equipped to defend it?
I lol'd so hard at 27:10...."Tell him some rubbish , like...You've spent a lot here, cheers".

@Bakwas hanel to Their lard they are the army of Lord who win
HAHAHA WOW, I LIKE YOUR COMMENT, BRO. DAMM GOOOD
As an afghan I’d like to tell them “did you enjoy your meal”
Some of the things the Afghan officer says off the record are priceless
So are his facial expressions man 🤣
Typical they don't give a flying f we had to have Soilders watching them the entire time we integrated with them because they were shooting us in the back and giving out our movements
Priceless indeed. He was hedging his bets.
He is ungrateful for what he is getting for free.
@@gabrieltilahuinbehabtu5592 Lol freedom bombs have always been for free, especially when you didn't ask for it
“The concrete walls are heavy otherwise they would have taken them too.” It means a lot this sentence have one Galaxy meaning.
27:12 Tell him some rubbish like 'You've spent a lot here, cheers" LMAO
Yep they take the Americans as fools lol, well thats why the Americans are leaving them behind, they lied and said they would fight but they layed down their arms to the Taliban and gave them all the American weapons,
NO GREEN CARDS FOR YOU
@@sendit1158 You know these are brits, right?
@80s DIRTBIKE I‘d really like to see you in the situation of an Afghan soldier. I wonder if you would fight for a corrupt government that never cared about its people and that even got abandoned by the West, who basically negotiated a Taliban takeover. The other possibility is to leave the already doomed Afghan forces and try to save your family from the crazy policies of medieval terrorists.
Many thousand Afghans died every year in the last two decades because they believed in a better future for their country.
So please show some respect, those people don’t deserve getting portrayed as cowards and liars.
@@sendit1158 LOL talking on behalf of a government that wouldn't waste a chance to kick yourself (citizen) out😂🤣🤣

Four months later, this video is way more fun to watch.
At least it shows how you should evacuate, unlike the recent clusterfsck.
Wasn't this in 2016. So I guess since it went smoothly Joe Biden figured it was best to do the exact opposite.
British have some experience withdrawing from Afghanistan..

And we could come back anytime we want too.
@@tonyyates2012 really??? welcome again.....

No matter how much you hate your own people but don't trust outsiders. They will leave you soon or later.
Moral of the documentary.
Who said we trust them? Even if you ask a little kid in Afghanistan they will say there are here for what they want to take away from people and than they will leave us.
name a country that US touched that is peaceful and prosperous and i can name you a dozen that aren't. US will leave Afghanistan not because it wants to, the reality is because it cannot afford to. US is facing the same problem the USSR had.

SIngapore uses that to justify conscription, though with a declining birth rate & increasing immigration the military will face the challenge of defending more people with less people (unless immigrants take up citizenship/PR here & become conscripted too, or become volunteers)
you can tell in this doc. that they knew they were doomed. At this point, I would argue they had already made up their mind.
yeah that exchange at around 38:00 is very telling. I've never met an enlisted guy who spend time in AFG who had any confidence in the ANA. Seems like the only people who didn't see the collapse coming were the 4 stars and the politicians.......
They knew they had a free ride to a free country so they didn't care one way or the other. We leaving this place also.
"Make sure you're changing socks and pants." 😂😂😂😂
Feels like high school all over again. 🤣🤣🤣
Did I understand that Afghan military leader to say the British spent all the money on themselves? No you idiot, they spent it trying to protect you!
So in the past 150 years, British lost Afghanistan for the fourth times. One wonders , did not they know that Afghanistan was the graveyard of the empires.
It's true
perhaps they will do better when they return for the 5th time.
@@makeitpay8241 nowadays raiding a country without a reason doesn't happen like old times so they can't, why would they?

All this huge spending and no goal achieved. Taliban still there and now US doing truce and requesting them to allow US troops leave. What a waste what a mess? Who is responsible for this misadventure?
Business men obviously
Don't sweat it. This is what the last empire on Earth has chosen to do as her swan song. America's legacy is a tale of two worlds, us and them.
they bought into the neocon's american century pipe dream. then it turned into opium smuggling operations. then extremists training camp to ferry terrorists into Xinjiang, China.
it's a failure to you. but a huge success for others. it all depends on where you stand.
yes it would have been cheaper to send 2 million natosoldiers over end kill every suspect talib like commis would do and see what happens but this limited war efforts are a joke no? oh and build a wall along pakistan border
United snakes always says they are experienced in fighting wars y retreat in Afghanistan ?
26:55
Yes a hydroelectric dam in a country with barely any rivers worth mentioning that are already used for agriculture. A splendid idea.
Finally, the comment I was looking for LOL
well if they can invade and steal from a poor country then iam sure they can make that happen too,,,
aged really well
That Afghan officer was so disappointed when he saw they’re taking everything with them. They could’ve at least left the water bottling plant and other such essentials. After all they’ve suffered tremendously already. The guy literally said they’d even take the barriers with them if they could.
@davidparkowski
Why then did they attack Afghanistan? We all know how the buildings came down. It had explosives within it and was rigged to fall on its footprint.
After 20 years of killings, you cannot even give them a water bottling plant ???

Thank you for posting this documentary.
A truly informative video highlighting the sheer enormity of this overseas military operation. The mind boggles.
For those of you wondering why more things weren't left behind... the sad reality is that they will not hold the base and at one point will be overrun. Anything that is left behind effectively goes to the enemy or stolen or sold to the enemy. They are better off destroying the equipment than being used against the good guys or civilians down the road.
This aged well...
Very unfortunate
Closing down after they turned Afghanistan upside down!!
They're actually fleeing coz taliban will start the war again if they don't.
more like it can get worse after they left for Afghanistan, because they can start the war
@@jakob7693 do you even know history bruv.

What’s left could be bombed. Nvm just watched more of the vid. It’s gonna go to the Afghan military. It may fall into disrepair as the military may not have the resources to keep it maintained. Insurgents will probably come upon it years later with it abandoned and in disrepair or bombed out.

@@jamarjames9501 Bcz afghan army is not trained well.Secondly America done nothing for nation building.
@@musicalife859 Sure we did. We built our nation. We also spent over 2 trillion in your country paying The people of Afghanistan to fix their own country. If you think we can put stability in a box and give it to a country who let's people rape and throw acid in Little girls faces your confused.
When our country saw how people treated other people we had a civil war. Afghanistan on the other hand chose the side of evil instead of fighting against it.
When men don't let your daughters go to school without the threat of acid attacks and you throw down 80 billion dollars worth of weapons it shows that you have also chose the side of evil because I would punish them until my last bullet.
@@musicalife859 Afghan army trained with Americans and have been taught by Americans. They had every tool they needed but they let the Taliban live amongst them so when America left your "Nation Builders" became the Taliban instead of doing it yourself.
You had years of stability to Build your own country the same as every other country in the world has done but even with help you couldn't pull it off.
Also they weren't American in the Video they were British.
All they had to do was point out the bad guys but they couldn't wait for the Brits and U.S. to leave so they could start hurting and molesting young children.
Don't worry though since Afghanistan couldn't nation build on their own the Taliban is willing to do it since you gave them the key.
First you build security then you let the country build it's own nation so they feel a sense if pride from creating something.
If we built your nation you would just destroy it because it was built by infidels. You can't have it both ways

1 T for luxurious living
Makes a lot of sense.
All told, the cost of nearly 18 years of war in Afghanistan will amount to more than $2 trillion. Was the money well spent?

Do you know if each single Afghan were able to get this money it would be $58 thousands dollars each member of the family .
amazing!!
26:52 This guy really just suggested they should have built a hydroelectric dam.
i think he meant that they sould have made something useful, this base was such a waste like the war itself
Those afghan officers know once everyone is gone the taliban will take control off the base
well the Taliban were created by USA indirectly since their weapons were supplied by US when they were once called FREEDOM FIGHTERS, same with ISIS who are basically the Iraq Military renamed after US forced them out of a job.
@@ainzooalgown7589 Soviet-Afghan war yes?
@Abdulrahim Norzai Ah, let me guess. You're from Pakistan, right ? Expected from you. The Afghan Taliban has killed far more than the coalition forces by the way.
A typical Talaban fighter, like a typical Viet Cong gurreilla fighter, carries less than $50 worth of arms & ammunition. Just saying. [While Vietnam war was for 'RUBBER'; Afghan war is for 'RARE EARTH MINERALS'.]
@@ainzooalgown7589 correct, Taliban was created against soviet union by USA . I hope when they go away there will be piece.
I don’t know how to feel about this. I somehow pity the Afghan forces. Their county was ruined by the war and the giant countries saying they helped them but in reality they ruined Afghanistan and left them with nothing but scares and scraps.
It’s a totally f-upped situation. I agree.
At the same time, they don’t even want to help themselves too.

At some point, soon China will take control and apply there methods with those applied to the Uighurs - methods that are now being improved. Labor and re-education camps, in which the UN will enter with a permit and will praise the wonderful conditions created for the people.

The Afghan colonel looks defeated when he realizes all the important infrastructure if being taken away and all they are being left with is an insanely large base with empty buildings.
Whats really sad is that new Afghan govt and army is now solely responsible for maintaining peace and order within the state, so they could really use ALL the infrastructure they can get. AND if were already donating plenty of money to help afghan with this, and also have an unnecessary amount of military equipment, why not sell it to them at a discounted price? Shipping it all back seems counterproductive when they need it more than we do.

You can see disappointment on the Afghan commander face. Its understandable that sensitive material should go. But should have left something or more equipments for ANA, like radio or cctv or something else for their defence against the Taliban. After all, you were supposed to help. Not make their lives harder after total destroyed them. I know it sounds confuse, but you know what I mean.
nothing you said can be categories as "confusing", you got that thing which humanity calls "Care". which sadly nowhere present in Western decision makers. that's all
@@salmanshah4035 it's called "knowing that the talibans will unfortunatly wipe the Afghans after NATO leave so they don't leave strategical material that will be really useful to the talibans" the Afghan government should be able to provide his troups with material, that's why NATO gave them financial assustance and also why NATO provided them basic material such as rifles among other things
British should have left some weapons for next time...same way they are leaving generators and officers accommodation.
They like their country to be extremiese, they really about their religion but dont know how to protect their people and their country.
Well did you see what happened with all the Ex-Soviet equipment left behind? Anything they leave behind could potentially be used against them or the US in the future.
Afghan guy looked so disappointed. At the beginning looked then went down hill for him after the prayer mat was seen.
0:58.....afgans really need this
You know what the Taliban will do to any Afghan that helped the American's? Its going to be a blood bath after we leave.
Afghans need this 0:58

"hey I built one of those in legos" and "can the pigeon get out?" cracked me up
The Key to the City part was undeniably funny.
This how they wasted trillions of dollars 😂
Wasting trillions for nothing
@@surprisematsana3615 british base not merican
not really theirs are economic wars Britain benefited lots from the oil reserves.
Wasted tax dollars, but a small group of individuals benefited handsomely...
The British and their allied got their haram money by exploiting the muslim countries and the world through deceptive methods. So at last, they have to say silently, were broke . That's why, before they leaves Afghanistan, they dismantled everything, (if possible the thick wall and transport it to the UK).
What they left are a few Afghan Christians (usually they bring some missionary with them to christianised the muslim so as a starter to sow their christians faith seeds into afghan society), so polluted the future muslims generations to come, as they have already done in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and the Muslims countries.
That predator mural was the sickest thing I’ve seen today.
Nice
The USA left the Taliban high tech weapons, the Brits left them broken cutlery.
Dismantled like the war is won but the Taliban are still there.... Afghanistan will fall within a year. So sad...
It's not sad if you're the victor. The British empire is slowly dying, so we better get used to it. China , Russia and the rich muslim oil kings will call the shots and run the world soon enough.

Not a year but a few weeks!

UK handed base to Afghan army. A month later, Afghan army handed it to Taliban.🤣🤣🤣🤣
And today they handed over the last city... :(

Their country, not ours
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi About freaking time!
And the Taliban realise. Actually there is nothing left in the camp. Just some heavy concrete walls. LOL
Jamaican accent never changes no matter where in the world u are!!!
This will definitely trend now
The saddest part is that how you’re going to give the camp back to Afghan soldiers without any sophisticated equipment. How will they be able to defend themselves against these invisible enemies?
I loved this video. Thanks guys!
They shouldn't leave any sophisticated equipment for them, because if the taliban gets that equipment it will be used against coalition forces.
@@derronjoseph1408 that’s true
They have their own government to fill it up
idk but it sounds like there problem

thanks for the subtitles at 27:00 :D
The truth😂😅 nothing wrong
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣USA and UK they just spent $ 6 Trillion
"From higher up."
Everyone at the top knew the Taliban was poised to retake the country - that's why everything got either yoinked or binned.
What a cool Kernel
The graveyards of empires this will never change whatever empire it is
you think is the number 1 country for relics and fossils , I mean how many soldiers would be burried in that soil over the last 2000 years its got to be a huge number
China would be smart to stay out
Lie spread by movie 12 strong. In reality there were only 12 known empires exited in Afghanistan. In which Hindus king rule them about 4200 years, Muslim rulers about 700 years and also British empire also captured afgan easily
