When a Portugese native speaks English they sound really really Russian to my ears. My mate is Portugese and I call him Boris...
It's a funny language eh?
Southern Europe, but it sounds so Slavic..
@@frankryan2505 who says it is not...
Russian speakers hearing Portugese go "Is that Boris" But then realise it's a counter-revolutionary enemy of the state and a foreign spy.
@@frankryan2505 Not at all.
Portuguese is pretty easy to id in my ears the SH phoneme is more prominent than in any other tongue i'v heard
"Just because something is old it does not mean it's obsolete." Did I hear a sigh of relief from Jingles! 😀
I sighed with relief. 🤪
Me too😎, Thanks Rita ✌️👍
@Neil Brown : Disposable society. Manufacturers don't want their products to last, especially electronics, like phones. Companies like Apple don't want to repair products, if they do, repairs are priced so high, it doesn't cost much more to buy a new unit. Why are most warranties replacement rather then repair? Cheap labour costs to make the item, expensive labour costs to repair!
Hahahaha
Is this why you keep that fat 70 year old around?
I wanted to make this video for a long time but I didn't have the hardware nor did I feel like my English was good enough. This is my far the video that I applied the most effort editing as this subject has a lot of meaning for me. I can only sincerely hope you enjoy! ❤ Thank you!
Thank you for putting this intriguing video together. Your English is clear & concise.
Please don't be so hard on yourself...this video and content is wonderful!!
That was awesome!.I sincerely hope you do more videos of the Portuguese Military.
Your English is fine. More than fine.
Rita your English is fine! Keep dropping knowledge on us and you are a DELIGHTFUL addition to Mingling with the Jingle.
I live in South Africa, my uncle served in the South African Defence Force in Angola in the mid 80's. My father served in the police too and was deployed to the border for patrol duty. Very interesting history that you talked about here, that I know very little about!
Beautiful story bud!..off the point, my uncle were the Project Manager of the Rooikat weapon system and Project Manager in total for the Rooivalk. Godspeed!
Rocket Man,you should check out Danny Roxo.A Portuguse legend who joined SADF in 1974.All the best!
Brains: check, Beauty: check and most importantly Cat: check.

Beached Jingles: check.
Memory pills?
Love the video, my wife was born at Bongo Mission in Angola as well as her older sister. Parents were missionaries and were escorted out by the communists. They were protected by the people of the village surrounding them until they crossed the border. Our family has lots of love for Portugal Angola. Chris
"Protected" is an interesting way to say that they were never in danger.
"we are the forgotten ally" Canada... "Ah! welcome to the club, we have cookies and a T-shirt"
Us dutchies dont forget your service. you liberated the Netherlands from german occupation doing the most difficult operations like the battle of the schelde. We still send you flowers every year:)
@@robshootuit yes you do. And some of us never forget that. Or your gratitude.
Are you aware if the two statues?
A really interesting take on a war not many people outside of Portugal and Angola know about. Thanks Rita.
Hi Rita! I'm amazed at the quality this presentation! Your passion for tanks and history are impressive. Keep up with content like this and thanks for sharing!
Rita you are a treasure. Your genuine soul shines through on everything you do.
WOW history should never never be forgot! Thank you
Nice video, interesting subject that isn't well known for people that aren't Portuguese. Please do more videos like this.
Im Portuguese and didnt knew any of it
Your English is A ok. I agree with many of Subscribers, you have Beauty and Brains. I look forward to watching many more of your Videos. So carry on, Fair Lady. Over and Out.
Thank you for the Portuguese history that I never knew or was told about while growing up in America!
This is amazing, it’s incredible to see how far you’ve come and to hear the stories that you want to tell. This is what UA-cam is all about right here!
O Ultramar foi um assunto sempre pouco falado em história na escola o que é realmente uma pena! Obrigado Rita!
Rita, what an amazing video. A true testament to the love of your country and your Grandfather! Thanks for sharing and keep it up!
GREAT RITA! Wonderful job dear!
Well, the entry was awesome. If down the line you fall while doing that, do not edit that out.
Jingles be like We'll edit that out
Very nice short documentary.
I guess the Portugese finally got their hands on top class equipment with their Leopard 2A6, while not brand new, they are still extremally effective
Well said. Even today the M5 serves in a few South American countries. Reliable, Rugged and ready.
I have been fascinated by the African colonial wars since I saw the Wild Geese and listened to Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner (and a huge armor fan). Good vid, thank you 😊
The French AML series of armoured cars are very well known around the world. A contingent of South African AMLs, armed with 90MM guns, successfully engaged and destroyed some SWAPO(?) T34/85's in a border skirmish. I believe this was in the 80's. Good to hear that American built tanks lasted 30 years after construction. Interesting fact: These were powered by two Cadillac V8 engines, making them easy to work on. Great history video, thanks for posting!!
Outstanding presentation Rita, Thank you for putting this together.
Simply perfect presentation!!!
As a former portuguese cav. soldier and history lover, it was awesome to watch this video!
Thank you so much Rita 🙏
A few years back, I was working with a Portuguese girl called Julia, who told me that one of her earliest memories was of leaving Angola on a ship & hearing gunfire.
Great video. Really well researched & edited. The fact that you're easy on the eye is a nice bonus ;)
Obsolescence is very much theatre specific. For instance, the M3 Lees used by the British in Burma in 1944/45 were obsolete in Europe but continued to provide excellent service against the Japanese. It depends on what resources your enemy has & I guess an RPG at close range will go through an M47/48 almost as easily as it will an M5. It's interesting that the vehicle's height was one of its main advantages in this theatre, where it would ordinarily be viewed as more of a liability.
Obrigado Rita Por mostrares este pedaço da nossa História !! :)
Thank You for this bit of History , Rita !
My dad, as well as two uncles, were sent to Angola. And, it's something they've never, ever talked about, to this day. Portugal has a rich and complex history that seems to be overlooked by most so it's always nice to see someone talking about it.
Fascinating introduction to a chapter of history I knew nothing about. Thank you Rita.
Congrats from Brasil, i really enjoyed . Thanks Rita.
First Indy Neidell, then Mark Felton, now I can add Rita Sobral to my list of favorite UA-cam history teachers.
Very interesting:-) Nice work Rita!
Wow. Thanks for the very informative history lesson Rita. History I had never heard before.
Another great video! Extremely informative and entertaining at the same time, well done! :)
Oi Rita sou do Brasil e quero te dizer que foi uam surpresa muito feliz encontrar uma mulher falar de assuntos militares e geopoliticos mais ainda por ser de origem portuguesa.
Meus sinceros parabens pelo seu trabalho!
Much more interesting than I had expected, I think I need to read more of Portuguese military history. Thank you for the lesson and as well as the entertainment.
This is your best video yet. Keep up the good work!
Your intro touched my heart. I have nothing but memories of my grandmother, who filled a similar role to me.
Really enjoyed that and learnt something new. Thank you so much Rita x
Fantástico Video! Obrigado pelo video Rita!
Thanks for making this video, this is the sort of information that doesn't get a lot of coverage in English language books about the wars in Africa
pretty sure i could watch this woman all day, thanks for the videos!!!
Portugal has a long and glorious military history, I know Wellington was upset before the Battle of Waterloo because his excellent veteran Portuguese infantry couldn't get there in time for the battle.
He rated them as at least equal to his best British infantry and they fought the French valiantly throughout the Peninsula war.
They were heavily involved in WW1 too, they are the UK's oldest allies and I think I'm right in saying the only European country we've never actually fought.
This was a most interesting video and I'm now going to have to repaint an old M5A1 model as 'Mica'.
They also have alot of military shame in their history.
When it comes to the UK. - Portugal alliance, it seems some in the UK. forgot about the 1890 ultimatum against Portugal when it came to Africa - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1890_British_Ultimatum
You fought us during the infamous Iberian Union 60 years 1580-1640, part of the invincible armada was ours...and lost while serving Spains purposes
@@jonaswladimir6889 is that so? Enlight me please...smart ass....
Absolutely love this....fantastic video.
Bom Video @Rita Sobral! Keep them coming!
Wonderful video! Thank you!
Love your videos Rita keep up the awesome work
Good job Rita, keep it up!
Thank you for posting
Very interesting! I love the style of the video and would love to see more like this.
Thanks Rita it's always good to see a good reliable piece of armored history still being used for that long. It's a sign of good engineering and pride of the men and women that drove and loved their vehicles. It's a shame all those tanks were left to rot in the field.
They did bring the Panhards back to Portugal but the M5 A1 wasn't seen as profitable to bring back, by the end of the war we had started to incorporate Chaimites instead as the answer to the lack of armour and because NATO didnt allow us to use M5 A1s after that trio.
@@RitaGamer
In today's world of RPGs and the lack of spare parts, they're probably not something that even Isis or boko Haram would take time to put back in service. If they could. Hmm
Very cool, Rita! It's always good to remember our history and heroes. It's awesome to see you very proud of your heritage!
Thank you for sharing this video. Had a lot family who served in Africa. Many came back and never talk about it.
The media and politicians all turned against them!
Parabéns pelo excelente canal!👍🏻🇧🇷
I couldn't wait for the video to end so that I subscribe to your channel. REALLY well done and enjoyable.
Very cool video. beautiful English too. And it's rare for a girl to appreciate military clothing. Nice! I love how you want to keep your grandfather close to you. Very nicely researched and documented video. It was worth all the effort you put into it. All the best, Rob in Switzerland
A useful vehicle for that sort of campaign. Thank you for educating us all in there use in Angola. I enjoyed the video.
Keep making great content. I love the heart you put into it.
BRAVO! Great video on a unique part of history and good analysis.
Excellent. Keep up the good work. Informative and good length of video to digest easily. Nice informal and fun approach to recording.
I could understand you very well. Great job on all the research and presentation.
Amazing Vdeo Rita!! Very well done. You did your home nation very proud!! As they have so much to be proud of!! I look forward to.more portugese content!!
a well-made and informative video, thanks! i look forward to seeing more from you
Fascinating video with a great blend of fact,personal recollections and humour,it's great that you are proud of your rich Portuguese heritage and history which most people are unaware of and think of only as a place to go on holiday.
Como é que só descobri este canal agora ??? Parabens e viva Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹👍👍🇵🇹🇵🇹
A nicely done video Rita. I learned a little about Portuguese use of armor in the African continent. It's great to see someone passionate about their countries history!
What a great way to honor your grandfather. Keep making videos and wearing the uniform. It had to be far more than the vehicle. It must've been the bravery of the men who drove them and used them with great skill. Well done.
Excellent! Let's have some more. Brightened up my day.
Good video Rita! I'd be interested to see more videos on the war in Angola.
There are no obsolete weapon systems, there are only obsolete ways of using them.
I love that idiom.
Good call
well then, what exactly is the proper modern military usage of the Model 1861 Rifle-Musket? LOL
@@BaikalTii used to distract the enemy
Pretty sure you deploy it as a signaling device when the enemy has established superior ELINT/SIGINT.
Thanks Rita, you have made me aware of this conflict that I had not previously known about! Apart from that... nice bike😎
Extremely well done!
Nice research, great story telling. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this history, intresting stuff and very nice presentation.
Just discovered your channel and I think I love you! 😃 Keep up the good work!
Great job Rita
The more I listen to you ... the easier it is to listen. I'm drawn to accents . Glad I stumbled across you . I'm history buff... your history babe . Match !
Beauty, Brains and knows what she is talking about ! Proud and emotional! sensacional!
Loved this video Rita my favourite one you have done. Think it is some very interesting piece of information on your country. Thankyou for putting it together.
Thank God for Young intelligent poeple like you, History tends to overlook "quiet" Countries like Portugal, thank you for preserving history, for sharing personal information and to your Country for being a friend and ally of Great Britain even if we don't deserve it some times.
This was an amazing video, so nice to learn about an area of history I knew so little about, please make more videos :)
So glad i found your channel. Great work and your english is very good
Awesome Job
The worst part of the video is it's too short, more please. this is a topic that I know absolutely nothing about and is incredibly interesting. Thank you Rita for opening up another door for us
Bravo for the little Stuart. And thanks for this excellent video. Footage and photos are amazing. Fantastic and Herculean effort. Subscribed.
Your English is lovely, and perfect. Thank you for this amazing history.
Totally subscribed. What an excellent video, and your English is great! I love how UA-cam allows us to learn about such a broad range of topics. and with presenters who sometimes have personal connections to the histories.
Really enjoyed this video, learnt a ton..... Thank you ☺
Nice job Rita. Very interesting, this was informative and being a history buff know little to nothing of the history of Portugal. Thanks for the lesson.
Probably the most beautiful history presenter I have ever laid eyes on and now I have said that a brilliantly presented piece of history I was totally ignorant of, and yes I agree, it makes more sense to use tried and true and good enough for the job than waste lives time and money with something that might work. Thank you from England.
Very interesting and well done video. Thanks
Britain's oldest ally and we are grateful - thank you.
well done. I learned a lot. Thank you Rita.
Excellent video.
As ex-Belgian Air Force I approve of the boots! It takes time and a dab of saddle soap from to to time to adapt to your feet and avoid blisters on long marches but they are virtually Indestructible: only the patterns on the soles wear out and these can be replaced by a competent cobbler.
I am glad this video was recommended to me. An interesting look at Portuguese Armor, a topic I never really looked in to.
Looking forward to your future content.
Greetings from Germany
Great work and very interesting.
Im loving these green screen videos and love the portugul/canada connection with the m5s
I totally agree that the world often forgets the contribution of Portugal in wars of Africa. Even someone like me only came to know about Portugese Contribution when I watched a recent video of Portuguese paratroopers operating in CAR. Might I say they moved so well as an infantry unit, The way they operated was amazing. We Indians pride ourselves on our infantry but you guys are on par or better than even us in some areas.🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹👍👍👍
This Video peaks my interest even more in the Portuguese military.BTW I thank your grandfather for his service for his country.
