No way Russia would take on top professional soldiers, like these. That would rip the Russians apart.
nice cope
@@romeisfallingagain Russian Army is the 4th best Army in Ukraine right now..... After Ukraine Regular Army, Ukraine Air mobile Force, Ukraine National Guard...
. So no, not a cope. Facts. Enjoy your potato 🥔.
@@romeisfallingagain How is that cope? The experienced Russian soliders that were sent into combat in Ukraine have been exaused. Supposedly the elite Russian Paratrooper divisions dropped with vurtually no supplies and outdated guns.
Russia is a dying great power and Putin wants this war to be a mirage of him and his country trying to stay relevant, and self reliant, and failing at both.
NATO on the other hand is a multinational organisation which co-operates with each state and ensures countries all use standard equiptment and supplies so if a war were to break out, there would be no need to try and supply troops on the frontline from somewhere like France or the UK when Poland, Baltics have stockpiles of the same ammo or supplies NATO troops need.
@Pwonrbjsns mercs arent the military. so far you have been dealing with russian conscripts. i bet you think the ghost of kiev is real lol. im confident because i have seen what the west has done to its militaries over the last 30 years. the western soldiers die for israeli bankers. nothing more. oh well, at least this war will wipe out the godless
@@northernleigonare there has literally only been conscripts, chechens and an assortment of eastern russians (basically chinese lol).
you need to stop drinking the western bankers coolaid, buddy.
There’s something Monty-Pythonesque about having a commentator talking quietly to camera with troops behind her acting as though they’re invisible.
Imagine Russians against well equiped well trained NATO soldiers...
They will throw a lot of men and big guns on it, just like the Soviets did in WW2. Or the same tactic they use now in Ukraine, they can't do any better then sending people to their death 😂
NATO would destroy them.
Still wouldn't be easy, never underestimate the enemy. NATO hasn't taken casualties like they would against the Russians since Fallujah.
@@FunkGodPutin the war would be over in a week .
russia would steamroll the western militaries who worry about correct usage of pronouns, pride parades, trans soldiers and child touchers lol
Putin must go.
One way or another.....
Why don't you suit up and sell yourself as a "Hitman" !
Whats bad about those exercises is that they are waaay too small.
We should do a buildup of 100 - 200.000 troops near the Russian borders.
Force them to redistribute their troops.
That would help Ukraine without firing a single shot... and our soldiers would get some good practice also.
Yes, let’s revisit Ex Lionheart/Crusader ‘80.
All sound good, but I do not trust this mission. Think, open your eyes and ears. We must learn to talk to each other, learn to lesson, respect, love and understanding. Building army is not building something good for future. It means that you are preparing for killing. Why not take those men and create strong farmers instead of soldiers? Use all those money for weapons materials to buy from your neigbours what you cannot produce? Use the change to make pots for women to cook for their husbands and children?
that'll look hella dangerous
Agree. Russia has already invaded. T
hey deserve an equivalent response now.
Thanks
I am very positivly surprised to see a French Corporal speaking English. 👍
We learn french at school in england and they learn english there...
I found it strange he had a union flag on the arm
@@dannycostello maybe that little Union jack refers to his English language skills to faciliate communication in the field in context of a multi national operation.
@@dannycostello its a placard from a british army uniform, probably swapped a patch with a british soldier for it
He's likely currently attached to 12 Bde as it's very unlikely he would wear it for any other reason.
This is good to see - even though Russia has not performed as Putin expected it would be a mistake to run away with the idea that its a done deal, I hope that it never comes to it.
russia has gained territory the size of england in 100 days and you think they havent performed
I'm praying your Country so stay safe and stay strong to fight Russian 👍
God bless the western brothers 🙏

Badass
French guy is wearing a union flag.. Brit SF wear the US flag.. 🤔 They say,. well we have to blame someone. 🤔 😁
does anyone know why that french corporal had a british blanking patch on his left arm?
probably swapped patches with british troops
Signifies he is an English speaker/translator
@@chrissteadman4614 unlikely, translators dont even bother doing that, most french troops can speak english well and somewhat same for british troops
@@FinTank02 you'd hope the British troops can speak English pretty well!
@@JammyDodger45 yeah I hope so too! I was meant to say that some brits can speak French alright as well😅
Pros!
❤
Keep thinking of joining the British reserves but I’m 40 this year & not sure I could take the training.
THE UKRAINIAN ARMY HAS A GREAT CRASH COURSE IN "MILITARY" TRAINING AND SEEING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN RECIEVING TRAINING BY THE BRITISH ARMY AND OTHER AMAZING NATO OFFICERS SINCE 2014 IT WOULD BE LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY YOUR OWN MILITARY😉 OH, AND I FORGOT TO TELL YOU THAT AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF TRAINING YOU WILL BE ALLREADY COMBAT READY AND SENT TO THE FRONT LINE, COMPLETE WITH TWO FULL WHOPPING MAGAZINES FULL OF SEMI AUTOMATIC ROUNDS AND EVEN A FLACK PROOF JACKET 😉👍🏻 ENJOY
If you are not used to that level of training then I would say no. Your knees will take too much trying to build up. They might however be technical roles you could undertake if you have experiance.
@@lenrichardson7349 HGV driver with 18 years experience 🤔
Do it, otherwise you’ll regret missing the chance. You only live once.
@@Andyb2379 you could do supply and logistics
GOOD LADS AND LASSES, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS.
Mother Mary bless these brave warriors, keep them safe and bring peace on earth for all people, ONE LOVE.
Finally soldiers actually putting there training to use not just sweeping the barracks being bored might see some combat finally
@@DonHalli what do u think soldiers are for sit around doing nothing no there warriors there meant to fight for there country what do u think people join up for to sit around and do nothing no fight and of course it's not call of duty
@@DonHalli so u just think soldiers shouldnt fight at all just sweep the barracks that it yh
@@DonHalli of course war is not entertainment but that's what soldiers are for they have been fighting war since dawn if time I've even heard soldiers say there bored sitting around doing nothing they want to fight put there training to use what do u think they join up for tho to fight not sit around
@Josh Marshall and @Sonblok
A few points to make for the both of you. While it isn't great to wish for war Josh is correct in saying that almost all regiments I've interacted with in the past look forward to their deployments. It's what they live for after all as soldiers.
However this ofc isn't the first time operations like this take place so for many it isn't constantly sweeping the barracks, if you're in the military they will find a way to put you to use.
Sonblok, the point Josh was making was probably more belligerent then it needed to be but he still has reasoning.
I don't fully think either of you are letting the other person properly explain their opinions and I might be wrong. And yes, I do agree with your point if a little bit convoluted, that it's pointless for us. People who don't fully understand the workings of this military conversation to waste time aruging about it online. Find a better way to spend your time and I promise both of you you'll feel better for it
@@cameronmac4134 yh ok cheers
You can see why Russia has stopped sending observers under the Vienna accords , nothing worse than having to go back to their bosses to tell them they have a big problem ! made worse now given they have been outed as all smoke and mirrors , a relic compared to a modern NATO and fast becoming a spent force
Keep dreaming and believing what pro-Ukraine western media tells you.
If NATO members have so far spent 10% of their arms supporting Ukraine, and still have not won the battle for Ukraine, what makes you think the Russians are spent force. Keep dreaming.
@@zebra5star925 Get real , when one has spent a great deal of time wearing camouflage you get a better prospective of things, never mind all the smoke and noise that surrounds us , its what actually happening on the ground that matters and given the Russians are supposed to be on paper one of the largest conventional forces on the planet and yet they have achieved what to date ! apart from being run ragged by a much smaller force with far few weapons etc , the number 1 aim of any ground war is to take out your oppositions command and control and gain air supremacy double quick time ?, as for their tactics and training re: fighting in a built up area ! totally amateurism at its best , and spent force covers many aspects, the one that stands out to the planet is the fact that Russia is an international pariah and fast loosing what influence it had , more so the threat from a relic conventional force which as i mentioned has been well and truly outed !
I live in a NATO country and last months were complete madness, regarding joint NATO exercises. Of course there were joint operation scheduled and exercised before, but now I believe they don't even eat, sleep or go to the toilet, day or night. Drills, movement, banging, shouting non stop; people living close to the military poligon are complaining about constant noise and jammed roads. Hopefully things will calm down...some day.
"The british millitary has doubled in size" is this true? And since when
I think it meant British Army presence in Estonia has doubled in size
@@Ps5GamerUk ohhhh okay
We certainly have a lot of Admirals...shame there's so few ships to go around 🤔
Hello from Ukraine
Soon to be Russia and Poland.
@@novak7970 yeah right ..oh and Poland is in Nato
Good luck to you and your country. Best wishes from the UK
SLAVA Ukraine 💙💛🙏🇺🇦
0:44 was the French Alpine Chasseur wearing the British flag on his uniform 🤔
@French& Scottish 😮
🚀🚀🚀🌋
Very strange
2:34 forget about Tom Cruise, his long brown must have it's own twitter account named ......... 'Maverick'.
They need to wash up. I remembered that they have savings and green energy. Funny troops.
👍👍👍
if they not in the fight its all bs
russia entered estonia 🇪🇪 airspace for 2 mins with helos, last 24hrs
This is what happened on February and mariupol lost in maps now😅😅😅😅
The french alpine hunter wearing a union jack flash on his uniform ... did he run out of laundry ? or was there some fancy dubbing going on ? come on, be better :P
He's probably embedded with a 12 Armoured Brigade Combat Team hence wearing their patch.
Pretty standard behaviour for NATO.
probably swapped his patch
Fiddling while Ukraine burns.
THEN HURRY UP AND GET OVER THERE PLAYSTATION COMMANDO, AND JOIN WHATS LEFT OF YOUR OTHER "VOLUNTEERS"...
@@madserbz4912 😂👍
We must congratulate the mindless British government for cutting defence budgets and reducing the size of the ARMY.
well they increased the defence budget, but somehow still reduced the army size, one can only hope that means the effectiveness of well supported British soldier can outweigh multiple foreign soldiers
Size of army doesn’t matter anymore. Artillery and drones. Air power is also key.
Frankly we don't need a large army anyway. What I wish we had more of is an Airforce and Navy. Those are assest our defense budget should be allocated to. Mainly because we are an island nation, but also because there are countries with larger armies like France and Germany. So if we became the "support" military I feel we could do better. Hence why I felt getting new tanks was a waste of money.
But who am I to say, I don't work in the gov.
As if more money would improve the British military, needed help to fight Argentina in Melvinas
@@edaneo11 ? are you on about when we sailed around the world and took back the Falklands without NATO aid
Why did that soldier at 0:51 have a union flag on his sleeve ? As for Russia I don't think Putin has sent in his best troops to Ukraine he is a shrewd operator and will definitely have a couple of aces up his sleeve so this preparation is a worthy endeavour.
In my hart eye know our troups are ready willing and itching to engage the russions on the battlefield but putin can't do this Nuks 😡 would be used Putin's a big baby
Why are there no black nato nations
stop wagging toongues! Ukrainians are giving their lives! Give weapons by the least you can do turkeys and chickens mcdumalled!
I'm glad they do that and I hope they will do more militar exercises like this, because it seems Russia is willing to take whole Europe.Back to the Cold War again we are huh?...
The war is between the two brothers. Putin and Zelensky. This has got nothing to do with Europe. Europe invited themselves in this war. For sure they now wish that they could have handle this misunderstanding in a different way than this. We have lost Gas and oil which were near, now Europe has to run from left to right looking for resources. crain can come from India and other countries so, we do not need to make a situation too bad. That can cause Europe a big funerals. Europe can help but not to take it all coz they have full hands already. It could be very clever for them not to exchange the exercises to a war practicals against Russia. We are all with ukrsinian in this difficult time, but not willing to die at the sane time with you guys. Try not to decorate fights but seek for peace. May the mighty one give Ukrain and Russia direction to peace in the mighty name of Yahusha Ha'Mashiach. be blessed all.
This again is nato aggression
Has NATO invaded a sovereign state?
Or made direct threats against its neighbours?
Oh no, that's Russia.
@@JammyDodger45 has Russia set up military bases on NATO's borders? Has Russia got missile systems on the border with nato countries pointing towards their capitals. Has Russia got naval bases of the cost of the uk and the usa. Because both the uk and usa have naval bases a stone throw away from the russian main land?
@@JammyDodger45 and nato In total over the years has invaded many countries. Irag. Iran. Vietnam. Afghanistan. Middle east. The list goes on. Oh yh half of africa
@@jordanleigh8119 Russia was always going to do this .. Nato is smart to set up nukes pointing at moscow
@@jordanleigh8119- Russia has borders with 14 countries, 5 of which are in NATO, Russia has military bases on each of those borders.
Russia has an extensive missile force most of which is pointed at NATO countries.
Russia has naval bases on the Baltic and Black seas, both bordering NATO countries.
So what's your actual point?
