Thousands of miles above Earth, satellites circle the planet. Some have encrypted battlefield commands fed through them that help to guide forces on the ground. Space has become a crucial component of military options and the need for countries to expand their space capabilities has grown in importance.

Given we can barely hold a land army together I rather doubt it
OsamaBinObama Yes, a lot of country’s and people do want peace, it’s just we can’t have it right now because of Russia, China, North Korea etc. We wouldn’t have a military if there was no threat to the UK, but, unfortunately, there are a lot of threats to the UK right now...
U fool how can you say that we have the best trained soldiers on Earth and have done much with our army war and none war what's your problem
Your not british
adrian hinds And you clearly aren’t because you’re English is appalling....
OsamaBinObama oof get you,
We need an army to ensure peace is keep,
It’s the same with police if we don’t have them nothing will stop someone from going into your home and talking everything from you, but if we do have a police force there’s suddenly a force that is there to protect you and your property from people that what to do harm to you.
This hole idea of a mass military industrial complex doesn’t apply to Britain hell we don’t even buy new equipment much anymore so there’s little profit to be made from the British armed forces.
Does this mean?
*THE BRITISH EMPIRE IS BACK FOR PART 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO BUT THIS TIME WE ARE IN SPACE!!!*
Fingers croooossed
Joke ^ *flys over head*
SANKU we built all your railways and infrastructure
We are back baby !!!!!!!!!! Britannia rules the space waves
@Ginger Hitler Well, ummmm...when you colonize someone else's country you tend to do those things...wasn't like you did all that and went home.
SkyNet?! Are you effing kidding me? "Terminator" is looking more and more like a documentary in hindsight.
Sky net a weapon to surpass metal gear
Daley Wilk skynet is a dumb name... litteraly the only image it produces for most people is terminator and that didnt turn out great...
*I would join the military if the UK has an established space force.*
A lot has to be said about the British Government's lack of space funding. Skylon could have been operational over 10 years ago.
Skylon has always been a rather dated concept, and will probably never fly. also, it isn't a British government project, its a private project, so not the government's responsibility.
Whiskey2shots I disagree. I’d say the two “new” aircraft carriers we have are dated platforms. If Skylon was flying now it would be the only one of its kind. If the US government can fund NASA then the UK could do the same. Britain did until the early 50s when they cancelled our space program for good. Just when it was on the brink of putting a man in Space. 10 years before the Russians. I do agree that Skylon might never fly though.
@@BRENDANGOSS1974 to be clear are you saying that skylon isn't dated? The British space program wasn't really on the verge of putting a man in space, there was a design, yes but it was very unlikely it could work, and at the time there were more important things, like getting black Arrow to fly.
@@Whiskey2shots true!
@@Whiskey2shots all projects which hive UK a scientific and technological capacity are govt responsibility
FFS, concentrate on recruiting first.
With America having it's own Space Force you can bet that the UK will create it's own "Royal Space Force" in the near future.
If there’s one place that shouldn’t be militarised and that’s Space just remember Neil Armstrong speech as he stepped foot on the moon 🌒.
With all these budget cuts, I would be surprised if we could hold our own on land.
Steve Sheppard from who
Josh Barker ain't going into space anytime soon. That's for sure.
Us human literally can bring wars and weapons to any environment that our species can set our fingers on.
すみません for my bad Engrish
Hazamari Niirokai I know right it’s kinda amazing isn’t it
xclone jager indeed it is...
cease and desist. weeb.
White Moose, Ahh... I can see that you're NOT a man of culture.
And you are and ばか (idiot) to thinking that all us Japanese are Otaku (Well I have to agree that they are many in my country and I'm one of them to).
But just because you think anime and manga are bad it mean that you haven't experience it yet (I suppose).
But you are very wrong just to judge people by their appearance and personality.
Now go and think again and BEGONE you uncultured swine.
We can't fight in volcanos
If Britain did this the leader of this organization would have the title of 'space lord' and if that isn't enough of an incentive to do it I don't know what is
This video does not answer the title question; 'Is the British Military Ready to Fight in Space?'
I want no weapons in space. Many countries with questionable relationships work together in space for humanity.
Do what you want in space but no weapons in space!
Yeah let’s not militarise space please.
We're human, we militarise every frontier, space will be no different. Even in the utopian world of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, there's a large emphasis on militaristic aspects. Humans are an aggressive race, always have been, always will.
In fact... I've just thought of a cool, small, anti satalite weapon....
In fact... Two...
And they would be cubesat sized.
What will be the acronym for the pam?
Real-life Moonraker
rule britannia, britannia rules the space
UK is obliged to praise its satellite industry, and it is indeed important and successful. But without launch capability, which it had in the 1950s and then gave away on a whim (still a principle of UK Government) the nation is not in space. This could easily be remedied by the UK electing to be more than a customer in the European Space Agency. Ironically.
Yes
By the sounds of it launch more military satellites as they ultimate high ground and force multiplier as they dont need to be registered with the UN we need graphene in space considering that as one of our current advances, we need to be aim to make the leaps and bounds that will put us ahead of others, acting objectively. For the money we spend we are quite capable as a nation being in the very middle of the world geographically Wales and Scotland can serve as suitable spaceport locations.
You guys forget that as the U.S. goes so goes the U.K.! If we said tomorrow that we were developing a "Moon Force" you best believe that the next day there'd be an announcement: The British MOD, in conjunction with our Big Brothers (the U.S. Military), has decided to launch a "Moon Force" to help support the U.S. Moon Force effort..." ijs :)
Everyone will bumble along with companies pocketing money for weird and wonderful techs...
Until someone does something naughty in space, then suddenly everyone will panic and real innovation happens
Lolllll
How are they going to get to space ????
Virgin Galactic.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mark Maxwell with the UK Space Agency
Who do you think help America get to space 😉😉😉
Britain is currently the only country in the world with the technology to make the engines for a space plane check out reaction engines it's on its way and soon we will be the world leaders at shuttling cargo from ground to low earth orbit at a fraction of the cost and a ground to low earth orbit turn around of days rather than months
Mark Maxwell check out reaction engines man the yanks are creaming in their panties for a taste even the us navy has invested and they never put money into foreign ventures and the European space agency has put money in it's the next big step in technology since a brit invented the jet engine
As long as they can brew a good cuppa, everything should be right as rain.
SKYNET EEEEK very Terminator lol
You got named in the terminator movies.🚀
I’m sorry but if we paid 128 million to the project we should get it aswell or get our money back like tf
Why would anyone want to fight in Space ?! Rather than shoot an incoming comet that might wipe the shit out of Earth.
Up military budget to 4% of GDP so 120 ish billion
@Jeff Jeff waste of money? It costs billions just to function the nuke defence system and design make and produce equipment.
Why do we weaponise everything we touch?
The most accurate question is: why don't we?
A. Ahmou because we cause our selves issues by doing it. We cause arguments and wars.
No idea but it's only a small percentage of people that seem to think this way the scary part is is that there normally the ones in power
Because the world isn't just full of butterfly's, rainbows and puppy farts mate.
What we've weaponise a fether, lights, TVs. I would say we weaponise everything.
Finally a weapon to surpass metal gear.
Where is Sara Connor when we need her ay ?
Now we would be doing pretty well with this knowing how good we are at designing things but unfortunately there’s everything with brexit and stupid defence cuts
What do the government know that we don’t? Who are the army going to be fighting in space?
:) what a choice for a name Skynet!!
I really really hope nobody in the rest of the world took Twittler seriously on this space force thing. It already exists it's called USAF space command and at our current level of tech we're lucky that we can just barely track the shit in orbit
I guess that.s because you know about EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT THEY UTILIZE...WHAT'S YOUR SECURITY CLEARANCE LEVEL?
I am willing to join a British space force, I've got no vertigo and I'm fairly smart except on tests XD, please recruit me! My GCSEs start next year and I'd like to be tested on a personal level as like I said I'm not very good at tests haha, please!?
Cant afford to put boots on the ground! Let a lone in space have a word with Branson heard hes getting a space ship.
6th branch? It’s only the 4th.
Nearly died laughing - tRump : "I hereby declare bla bla bla". What a DUMMY. Please UK friends, stay with EU ; we need each other. Love from France 😸
The British Army are barely able to provide hot water.
So now space is to become a polluted, crowded and radiated cesspit. We just trash any place we go. One day we may work together and spend money on exploring space and bettering humanity rather than finding new, quicker and horrible ways to kill each other.
Dude grow up...we couldn't pollute space if every human on the planet threw a thousand satellites up there! Those that didn't fall back and burn up would ultimately either drift until it rusts and disintegrates or drift off into the vastness of just our GALAXY...please stop it.
How can we fight in space when we dont know what the enemy is bringing to the table lol
First we have to get to space
British Creamy musk is the closest with space-x but both nasa and space-x are friendly class not battle clas companys
skynet? somebody is a Terminator fan.
Mr. Pants No. The Skynet series of satellites were started in 1969. It was Hollywood that stole the name from the British.
We have a system called Skynet? Alright then, who was drunk when they decided on that name?
It was created before the terminator films
So we are now admitting to energy weapons?
Depends what you mean by "we". The US and Russia have already openly demonstrated them.
I though there's an agreement that we can't militaries space
Isyraq Ummair now we can
Should look up Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining why space warfare will never be a real thing, intresting watch. It has to do with space debris.
you can't but there's nothing about sending up satellites
@@HeroFanTributes I wouldn't take that bet by a long shot...the US Military has people just as smart (if not smarter) than him working on this...trust me (ever heard of DARPA)?
🇬🇧version of space force.🚀
Its not going to be putting troops in space yet but very soon it will and most of them will be based upon the moon.
No
What a sad world we live in when so much time & money (untold billions no doubt) is used to militarise space.
The muppet at 2.57 saying that if it was not for the military we would not be where we are today, maybe we would be a great deal further & a lot better off ?
why, why would they call it skynet
Network in the sky. Been going since 1969. Long before the movie happened.
COD ghost is real?
the british military barely has enough resources to fight in its current commitments ... space is a little out of the question
Short answer is no
That British museum guy seems to know a lot about what the U.S. Space Force is going to be about and do...he must have a direct line to the Pentagon and JC of S...he also sounded a little jealous as I doubt that President Trump called him and said any of which he spoke (which you can find in news releases). I doubt very very seriously that we're going to tell a museum guy exactly what is going to happen (but one never knows right)....
👽
Sky net? wtf has he not seen the film
Not ready to fight a war on earth as it's so small. Why bother with space.
ESA.🚀
If the first space war we have is against space Russia or Space China and not genocidal aliens I will be severely disappointed
They aren't even willing to defend their country these days.
I'm guessing you forgot the Afghanistan war. And that we have soldiers in another country with America making sure Russia doesn't try anything. Yeah sounds like not defending
no, question answered
Weapons are banned in space
We are british we will fight in anything a part from ràin we have probably hàd enough of that
lets not beat about the bush here, we cant deal with frigging knife crime on our streets so no we cant fight a space war. anyone who says we can has more ego than attachment to reality.
You lot can talk all the shit you want about trump but he’s one of the few that genuinely does what he says he will do
Lol its easy to invade a planet. Send some Falcon heavies that carry bombers and bye
Skynet?😂😂
We should invite Elon Musk and technology figureheads from around the world and support them. Fund them. Let them pioneer the British technology, not other countries. Fund SpaceX under a BRITISH name and we can advance our technology. The UK Will yet again be the center of the world if we did, and perhaps the galaxy... literally. If we funded and supported him and let him support us, we could pioneer AND increase our military capability. Elon, I would sign to get you British citizenship!
Hahahahaah yeah Elon would jump at the chance to relocate in Britain so he can be attacked by environmentalists, heavy tax regime, regulations that will try & control every aspect of his company that will make it to costly and unworkable! Why do you think no private space program yet in Britain? Because you have Socialistic mindset in Britain that’s anti private sector and pro government which is an anathema to innovation
@@briannxx perhaps I should adjust my plan... ELON FOR PRIME MINISTER / NEW MONARCH
Harry Taylor I hope your new king gives flamethrowers to all
rockets need an atmosphere to thrust against, no one can go to "space"
err what?
@@Scythl someone doesn't understand physics.....
You can place a rocket motor in a vacuum here on earth and see that it works mate. Literally something you can do yourself. You can probably even find videos of it here on UA-cam.
@@sshep86 NGL, for a second there I thought u ment like a dyson, was like, that's a pretty bad idea
@@sshep86 nonsense
Sorry but we would not be ready to fight on the Central European planes
The earth is flat everyone knows that
Lol
Too bad it doesn't exist. 😏
Enough of this war, I'm hate when people's happy said ready for space war
we cant fight a comment ! the EU have Politically corrected us so much we are over shadowed by the man who would be enslaved
It takes to long to row to space .so no the UK army won't be in space.
Don’t be so silly! We have sails.
To expensive for the MOD
Thanks for the information . Thank you sincerely the Kremlin
fake
I don't Trust Our Establishment 1 bit, but I do Trust #DonaldJTrump. May God bless Britannia and us All. I prefer to call her ALBION Myself. Wishing a very blessed day all of of you.
Sincerely
Jc
And you trust D Trump because?
Trump has done more for the US in 3 years than Obama in his 8 years,
Just look at unemployment in the US,
it is at an all time low, the lowest this century infact,
Love him or hate him you can’t say he doesn’t get results
@@xclonejager6959 he's riding off the success of Obama. Obama put the unemployment numbers going down in motion
@@xclonejager6959 Suddenly you have convinced me.
Alex B. He’s riding of the success of Obama? You know that highest amount of un employment this century in the US took place under Obama right? And was getting worse near the end of his final years in office.
We need to get out of this habit of “Orange man bad” that we dug ourselves into and see that even if we don’t agree with some aspects of his presidency he has achieved a good amount off successes in a fair few of his policies,
Doing anything else will just deepen the all ready massive divide
Lol the brexit propaganda pushed here is pathetic
The British can’t fight on earth let alone in space lol.
What do you know about military strength, you play hay day on mobile
@Liam R
Tell that to our 1,000 years record of battle and war victories on land.
So then what's your country's army then.?
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- Slaughtering unarmed natives is nothing to be proud of. Once the natives got guns you were kicked back to little old England. Couldn't run away fast enough.
Yes, I hear the Irish space programme has a manned mission to the sun planned. To avoid the massive heat problem, they're launching at night. ;)
We need a Royal Space Agency!
No
The earth is flat everyone knows that
