      Jokes aside, how do they know who wins the firefight? Especially when heavier weapons like artillery is used. Is it essentially a big game of lazer tag?

    • @qhawker98
      @qhawker98 Рік тому

      ​@@paulmcphillips7540basically yes. It's Lazer tag with blanks. Each weapon system has a Laser pointer that only emits when firing. Both vehicles and personnel a sensor type thing that that will detect when hit. For vehicles that are hit or taken out the battle the begin flashing ( basically that vehicle is destroyed and will no longer operate unless brought back into the battle to simulate reinforcements ). For personnel they will have sensors covering the helmet and torso over their gear. And if hit the system tell them where and how bad to simulate a casualty ( you could be a casualty but still fight or badly wounded and taken out of the fight until medic have sorted you or pulled you from the battle ) if you are hit really bad the system will just take you out the fight entirely saying your dead.
      I did 8 years with the British army and managed to use this kit. Believe it's called TES ( tactical engagement simulation) it's quite good to get a real feel for a semi real life battle but very complicated to set up and use. Plus quite heavy on top of everything else you wear. So if you got killed in the war games you just sat down and chilled while watching your mates getting hammered 🤣

    For those consoling the Brits for "losing" or crowing about the NATO win: the exercise was a great success as the object was to have the multinational NATO force work together and succeed in defending against a well trained and coherent single nation attack. If the outnumbered British had won then NATO would have a real problem to address. Most commenters have completely missed the point.

Italy also has a good navy and a decent military, but it's not enough. Turkey and Poland seem to be increasing their own military funding, so we'll see how strong they will become (especially since Turkey has some decent amount of experience as well due to their wars against the Kurds and their invasions of Syria, which they did without NATO).

    I think many countries including my own seem to forget the UK is home to the best SF in the world, whom a large majority of countries base their SF training off. My dad is a seal and talks often about how the Brits don’t mess about, and how when the seals would be on operation, they would rarely, but sometimes see the SAS guys. They never dressed like superhero’s, weren’t all kitted out like the US. Just their basic gear and a gun, in trousers and T-shirt with a scarf on their face. They were scary for all the wrong reasons. You’d only have to look at them to know you were in good hands.

    • @Nitidus
      @Nitidus Рік тому

      Democracy is a matter of negotiation and the government isn't the scapegoat for everything. To be clear, I really dislike your government. But that doesn't change the fact that any government is a reflection of its people, or rather of the current state of society. Sometimes more, mostly less, but fundamentally, it still is. If there was broad support for the armed forces across all social classes then it would be reflected in the government. Then again, if you live in a society with very little support in the armed forces, you cannot just say about dozens of millions of people, "They're all wrong." There's a reason for everything and I know this applies to my country's military, but probably to a lot of others as well, there tends to be a lack of self-reflection and self-criticism in the military. They often have a hard time keeping up with societal progress. An army in a democracy must represent the people, though. Aside from the fact that you otherwise quickly run out of young talent, it also instills trust issues between the general population and the armed forces. And that's a huge problem for an army that exists to defend the constitution and liberal democracy - or, in your case, constitutional monarchy, I guess. Lol. You can't change society, and as a democrat you shouldn't want to in the first place. But you can change how the military is perceived and accepted by the people, even if it means breaking with traditions or similar. What you absolutely must not do, though, is deflect any blame onto "the government" or, even worse, onto your own population - instead of reflecting on it and taking responsibility like every role model should.
      Edit: "As a democrat, you shouldn't want to change society", in this case means that you shouldn't try to retroactively, forcefully change a consensus resulting from a societal process of opinion formation. You are of course free to participate in said process and try to convince people, but if the results don't match what you believe yourself, you can't say, "I'm right and everyone else is wrong." Instead, you would need to accept that the problem lies somewhere else.

      Mass parachute drops are pretty useless now

    • @regarded9702
      @regarded9702 Рік тому +11

      ​@@lachlanchester8142 I would argue the threat of the drop still provides some use.
      If an enemy knows that allowing any amount of overflight of their positions risks paratroopers shooting their men in the backs then they face a tough decision: bring their air defence assets closer to the front, or accept the paras will drop and have rear guard units to hopefully deal with it.
      The first option puts their valuable air defence assets closer to the front, which of course increases their likelihood of being attacked. The second will require troops which could otherwise be helping somewhere else, there is also no gurantee that they will stop all the paras.
      So either way just having the ability to do a paratrooper drop hinders your enemy.

      Then the guards brigade for good measure. When you look at the different tiers of our army, (and Navy if you include the marines and RAF if you include the regiment) we do have a formidable force to contend with despite our size and the cuts in defence over the years.

    Even in my time the British Army was always the poor relation. Ancient unreliable kit not enough of it kit , low wages , etc etc. However we always made it work . The phrase: Improvise, adapt ,Overcome was written for the British Army. However as laudible as that may have been, we simply made a rod for our own backs, because the politicians saw us do these things and took it as an opportunity to cut defence spending even further to appease the masses and win elections. Which is why today, on the cusp of a potential major European conflict the British Army is the smallest it's ever been and as poorly equipped it's ever been. If there is another European war Britain will go into it underfunded, ill equipped and ill prepared as it has done in every conflict this century and last !!!
