    I had the privilege to take part in a NATO exercise in 1984 called Lionheart. 130,000 UK soldiers took part it was a sight that has never left me. The amount of tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery was breathtaking.

      @@7stormy334 Just 90,000 troops in NATO's biggest show of force since Cold War to deter an enemy that is actually fighting a war right now? Disappointing.
      90,000 troops figure is 3000 troops less than the number of POWs we Indians got the last time we went to war, a war lasting just 13 days. And that was back when we were a much weaker country.
      The biggest exercise we conducted, we had 800,000 troops deployed. Biggest exercise since the 2nd world war, bigger than any NATO exercise till then. Gave our enemy such a fright that they were shivering even after deploying their entire military in anticipation.
      I remember how when tensions with China escalated in 2020, Indian Air Force airlifted 68,000 troops and hundreds of ICVs and tanks to the front within days to add to the forces already deployed there. And that was on just one sector of the China front.
      Exercises involving around 35,000 troops happen in India every year. And smaller exercises involving around 3000 troops happen almost constantly in some frontier areas of India.
      All this while we have upwards of 150,000 troops constantly deployed in fighting insurgencies and around 40,000 troops are constantly deployed on an active ceasefire line that sees daily ceasefire violations, sniping, raids and ambushes and (less frequently) artillery shelling. And thousands of troops deployed to UN missions. And hundreds deployed to tackle Red Sea crisis.
      I get that UK doesn't have need for a large Army like we do, but NATO fielding just 90,000 in their "biggest exercise since Cold War is disappointing. No wonder Trump is threatening Europe so harshly. USA realizes the coming shift in world's balance of power, whereas Europeans are chilling in their wokeness.

      Every decision you make is gonna make is gonna directly impact future. Not just present now but very future. And for the worse. We are also enabling and inviting/teaching others that fighting back and worsening our own country is way to go. We should be teaching wisdom instead. Wisdom is that sometimes have to put others in front of yourself and make decision that you appaul for yourself (in their name). This isn't just about fighting a bully but fighting to preserve others livelihoods and not letting actions affect them. Sometimes have to 'please a parasite' if our future course is put in a better spot.

      Jackal's are for reconnaissance. They aren't meant to be fighting fortified positions. I don't know what Foxhounds are for but I am guessing transport for the Infantry attached to Tanks.

      Dont worry, we would never fight for any Western Power that has slaughtered and is built on the blood and lives of milions of others. You go check up on your history. We have a justification, you have not. Karma has come to reclaim what is rightfully hers and to balance the scales. Cause the West been done too much in the last 1000 years.

    None of those armored vehicles appear to have anti drone protection like the overhead cages you see in the Ukrainian theatre of combat. So I;d like to ask if anyone knows if the Brit Army has reviewed its doctrines tactics etc in light of the experiences gained by observing the fighting in the Ukraine ? Or is it planning to do so sometime in the future

    • @cannibalronny7314

      The overhead cages were made for ATGMs and Javelins,drones drop one grenade blow the cage and the next one comes and blows the tank,pretty useless to be honest.

      I wonder when Western Powers will realize that they have done enough throughout the world for the last millenium. You people have stolen and slaughtered so much and stayed in control for so long and yet your own interest still matters more then the world. NATO promised not to move further yet they did now we have war and people still scream how they are right. No you are not period.
