Gurkhas and the art of speedy battlefield bridge construction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- Skills in conventional warfare are still critical and armies still need bridges to cross rivers and ravines - with the conflict in Ukraine looking more like the Second World War.
55 Training Squadron, based at Minley, Hampshire, has been teaching their brand new engineers the art of bridge building.

The bravest of the brave, the most generous of the generous. Never had a country friends such as these! Thank you for your loyalty and service - if only we deserved it.
oh shut up 😅😅😅
We love and respect our brother Gurkhas!
These are some of the best fighting men in the world.🇬🇧
Also Lego pros
😂😂😂😂😂😂
No Million pounds for a Memorial for these Brave Men .
Total respect for the Gurkhas, they always give 100%
Outstanding the Gurkhas
I love these guys. Britain is truly honoured to have these soldiers working with our army. I’m sure the Brits can learn a lot from these guys. Thank you 🙏 for your service. 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️
Thank you for your service to all our brave Gurkhas god bless you all 👍
Best soldiers on Earth . Salute 💪💪👏👏🙏🙏👍👍👩🍳👩🍳🍽🍽🍺🍺👀👀
These guys rebuild a wooden suspension bridge over the river Arun where I used to live . Damn fine job they made .
Thank you, Gurjkas!
Brilliant video bunch of legends
Fond memories of Bob Farrah ex Royal Rngineers who became training manager for the company that manufactured the bridge, Fairey engineering. He came out to New Zealand to teach us colonials how to put them together.😊
These guys are the best in the world
I miss my times building them
Gurkha engineers. Great.
Superb. Massive respect to the Gurkhas.
We need twice as many Gurkhas as we have got.
Recruitment problem? More Gurkhas please
Exactly!
Concidering the UK has a problem with recruitement why dont we just allow more Ghurkas to fill the ranks? if the british civis dont want to join give more opportunities to the gerka regs. Im Baffled everytime how they believe it is such an honour to fight for our country yet we drastically limit the pool of formiddable men from joining. We can still maintain a hardcore Gurkha reg while also giving opportunities to those who dont quite meet those requirements. We need to remember the money the Ghurkas get drastically improves the quality of life to their families at home. I think the MOD should really look into opening the flood gates to more Napalese men.
Well said!
They are outstanding aren’t they pal, I agree
@@MaxKingsley72 One of a kind soldiers they are. We are lucky to have them.
The answer to recruitment issues isn't slave labour. Its making service attractive. Train personnel in skills transferable to civvy street and look after ex personnel with issues. Also stop fighting wars with the sole purpose of funneling tax money into the pockets of billionaires. Once service becomes attractive, recruitment won't be an issue. It won't happen in my lifetime though.
@@graememckay9972 The Ghurkas aren't slaves you muppet.
These are the best fighting men in the world respect we are so lucky to have them
The Ghurkas are that should not have their immigration and British citizenship application unquestioned. They truelly earned blood sweat and tears. A leqacy of loyalty, bravery and comradery.
it sure is getting easier in the forces, my engineering days nearly crippled me two broken disc's.
They'll get there eventually
Always inspiring seeing a Gurkha!
My Greater Nepal.🌺🇳🇵🙏☺️
Slow and not being under armor sucks, but nothing can break beyond what a welder can temporarily fix at the spot. Systems that are available and work might not be as sexy as the big systems, but so much more available.
Respect 🫡
Nice😊
A credit to our nation. They should be granted automatic citizenship.
The fastest built brige I've ever seen
Could do with these bridges during the floods , more practice for the Army ?
lego MGB seen it now 🤣that place brings back memories
Ive always thought of gurkhas as skilled in raiding warfare tactics. Their training is tougher then most units, onlt the few best candidates are accepted if im not mistaken? Erecting bridges quickly is undoubtedly important, but surely you could deploy these talented men in a more useful role.
My grandfather was an engineer in the army so im not discrediting its importance, i just always thought of the gurkhas as closer to green berets rather then the muscle for labor.
Their initial training is the entire Combat Infantryman Course and then some language training. So if need be they could be put into a Infantry role
Jai gurkhas jai nepal
One of the last hopes the British Army has of making any kind of impact in battle. Given the size and 'quality' of our armed forces and the dreadful neglect of its strength by MOD I don't have much confidence that we could fight our way out of a paper bag, no disrepect to the few real fighting men that we have.
👏👏👏💯💯💪💪
Tough bunch of men.
The army should expand The Ghurkas to two brigades, given the current recruitment crisis. As good as, if not better than, any other infantry regiment.
Love the Gurkhas, they well deserve their reputation.
But… This is a super old obsolete MGB bridge. Only good for team building.
litttle bigger not smaller
00:00-00:35 - Я ничего не понял. Что это было?
Вот помню: в детском садике у меня были такие приспособления для обучения счёту - счётные палочки, - и хотя они не предназначались в качестве строительного материала для, скажем, игрушечных мостов и переправ, но я использовал их для этого и строил из них как из брёвен и бруса мосты и переправы.
Здесь, я вижу, - примерно то же самое.
Always had a deep respect for these guys...but not happy that some have sided with Russia...big mistake....loyalty for a paycheck??!
Tier 1 operator s ...
russians are saying they have gurkhas fighting for them........yea the ones who couldnt pass basic nepal training

Pion for the front war.. 😅😅😅
THis kind of work better suited to trashies, Gurkhas are for offensive infantry.
