I've never had the greatest confidence or belief in these UN Missions.
The Royal Irish are a fine Regiment. What they did in Afghanistan with their own and 2 PARA BGs proves that.
Hats off to them carrying out this mission in Mali. But as the Officer says they can measure their success based only on the local population getting some respite.
fighting guys with flip flops and Aks with no tactics
Would be nice if the British nation had some respite for its own people from the cr*p our parliament keeps heaping on it.
@@robshirewood5060 fully agree!
@@bigdaveo397 Thanks
@@robshirewood5060 Amen to that 👍
Great to see the supporting units featuring - especially the medical unit! Would love to see more on the Army Medical Services
Top work from 1 R IRISH - outstanding battalion. Well versed in desert manoeuvre operations
Terrific!
Thanks for sharing your video!
The business!! ☺️👍✌️🇬🇧
Thanks for uploading this very insightful and inspiring doc. I am very glad that I watched this and learned something well worth my time. A tip pf the hat to these amazing troops.
Very high respect for those army medical personal, the NHS ones provide great skills to their team, and I believe they are providing a great service to our troops and the local people in places where medical help is needed, they might not get overwhelmed the same as hospitals in the UK because some of the places haven't got big populations and are out in the middle of nowhere, but I'm sure they are keep on their toes with locals coming from far just to get the medical treatments they need
Yes! Another fantastic video,dog was beautiful.If i was a young boy again watching this i would defo join up!
The people of the UK and around the world are very proud of what you are doing.
Well I'm not. These men are fighting on behalf of a corrupt leadership who only care about war mongering and posturing.
They are fodder.
@Haku Yuki Yet you all continue to fight each other, breach human rights and threaten neighbouring countries. If you can't sort out your own problems we will for you. I agree with us doing all this stuff internationally, but even I don't want us to have to do this but I accept it's necessity for global stability and peace from tyranny.
I am very proud to be a soldier myself and respect everyone who defends their country or protects people in need with their lives. RESPECT brothers & sisters 💯
@@gizmodud7267it’s human nature. Since the beginning.
I’m an American Patriot that LOVES our military and Special Operations but I have to salute the British Special Forces as one of the top SF groups on Earth! I consider DELTA Green Team and British SAS as THE tied for the top Special operations Groups on Earth and since DELTA was modeled after the Brits SAS ,..well you know.
Thanks 🇬🇧 , don’t let nations ever doubt our support for each other
God it warms may heart to see US guys and gals appreciating what we can do, For freedom and Glory, US and UK allies for ever.
Good jopb we have the SRR, and the SBS then, If you haven't heard of them that's because they are the very best in the world. Delta are effectively Royal marines who have done the shortened couse for anyone in the British forces, DEVGRU (seal team 6) are effectively Commachio company Royal marines, they have the same jobs to do. In order of the best it is SRR SAS, SBS. With the SBS being the best, and brightest.
@@thetruthhurts7675 what nonsense
@@bigdaveo397 How so? Commachio company do exactly the same job a DEVGRU (seal team 6), as I said. The SBS because of what they do actually have a higher overall general IQ than the SAS, are better educated than any other special forces unit in the world. Then, the ONLY special forces unit to have transited direct from the second world war to today (without a break, or being formed after WW2) are the SBS. No special forces unit that you can join straight from civvy street is ever going to be as good as one that you as a person already in the British Forces have to fight with your superiors to get into just the pre selection tests, as in the SAS, SBS, and SRR. To do the All Arms Commando course for myself as a Lieutenant with then 6 years under my belt took two years of fighting my direct bosses, and their superiors, despite being told by someone higher up the food chain that I should go for the job. Plus the US fortces green beret comes from doing the all arms commando course (a much shortened 15 weeks of training) to become technically a commando, such as Delta. Thus NO US special forces unit matches any UK SF unit. Just to be a general dogs body Royal marine (not musician though) they have to go through the worlds longest hardest, and most physical basic training starting at the level expected of the US Marine corps final battle fitness test, which here in the UK is undertaken in week one of the basic 36 week course, and they have to pass that to carry on.
Superb 👍🇬🇧
Excellent!
Great respect!
Great production.... except the black bars at the end making it cinematic. Its not cinema ..... its real. Just my opinion.
Great work everyone. Great insights. Love these vids.
Proud of all that serve. 🙏
Brilliant to see well 1 Royal Irish battle group great job FAB
Fantastic work 👏
I pray you guys are ready to help the world! You guys are literally the only hope we have at keeping freedom alive.
Clearly, doing an important job, that requires an enormous effort, which has mostly gone unsung over the years...
So then, it's great to see them get the recognition that they deserve 👏 🍺
I am 53 now, but if I had my time again, it would be the, LRRG or Pathfinders, for me.
They remind me of the LRDG of WW2 in North Africa.
- Non Vi Sed Arte
A lot of the early LRDG were New Zealanders.
@@terryharris1291 absolutely right buddy, which makes complete sense - hardy, robust farmers, agricultural mechanics, outdoors men etc.. who can live off the land, adapt & overcome.
I salute them all 💪
All the best,
Gus
Yeah, very cool to see a unit like that again, the LRDG should never have been disbanded after the war, but at least someone had the bright idea to bring them back in the form of the LRRG and i think they will be very effective in the future, as long as the politicians don't mess them about with more cuts
@Haku Yuki I think that's why they are helping them, mate, think about it, 3rd world country can't help themselves need help in security and medical,
@Haku Yuki how do u expect them to help us if they can't help themselves, we are over their anyway doing peace keeping and training, why would our army doctors and nurses not give aid to local people in the area?
Didn't realise this unit was still on the go. Thought they where disbanded after WW2. Learn something new every day.
I'll 🎣 .... this isn't the LRDG!
They all seem highly educated, great to see.
Cant wait!
Great teamwork. Proud of all our armed forces 😎🌏🇬🇧......Wow...What is that tune at the end??....
Northern Ireland's finest #1
great to see a gimpy still going and never thought of a mali as a sniffer dog well done
For a second I almost read the title as the Long Range Strategic Strike Group, which reminded me of Ace Combat 7
Reservists are amazing. They bring so much to the table that regular soldiers sometimes don’t appreciate.
So long as they stay in their boxes.
What grates, is when a fat 45 year old TA lance-jack starts gobbing off at full-time professional soldiers.
We had a load of them with us on Telic.
One was test-jig designer for CAT, and he knew everything there was to know about engines and pumps. He utterly revolutionised our UBREs, and commanded respect from people WAY above his rank because he offered expert knowledge to those who were struggling, and listened in to good advice when he lacked experience in other areas.
Another was a fat, ginger woman with a GUNT that would make a submariner boke. She didn't appear to have any special skill, other than whinging about noise, heat and the chairs. The amount of running around we all had to do to accomodate her was outrageous. Between the gopping state of her kit and the muzzle waving she did on the few occassions she failed to shinf out of a patrol, she did more to reduce confidence than anyone ever has. Meanwhile, she would dick professionals with menial tasks such as emtying HER bin (the one in the office she was provided - the air conditioned office with ergonomic chair).
There was a sizable sweepstake on whether she'd step on a mine or have a heart attack by the end of the tour.
Horses for courses.
True.....but only on weekends 😅
@@yankee23a I served in both the regular and the reserve infantry units. The reserves I served with were some of the most decorated military people you could ever meet in terms of operational front line tours. You couldn't be more wrong even if you are joking.
@SimDeck The fact that we have career and reservist soldiers is why we have an amazing military. They are both effectively voluntary. Andd help keep our military culture and knowledge the best in the world. I'm not sure why reservists get such a bad name. In countries where there are conscription, reservists are actually the most experienced and respected of the soldiers.
@@yankee23aReserves work 7 days a week, weekly day job weekend soldier. I don’t think others be too happy about giving up their weekends. Including regs.
Hello, I am from Peru, yes, and I will not publish again on military channels, this should be put on the agenda of possible purchases for the Peruvian armed forces, the challenger 2 tank is the best candidate for the Peruvian Army and Peruvian armed forces, the price per unit is 5 or 7 million dollars its cost is around there, the English tank is cheap, good armor, has great technology and is considered one of the best tanks in the world hopefully Peru
can buy these tanks and name one of the English Challenger 2 tanks William Guillermo Miller and Francisco Bolognesi for the Peruvian Army.
Peru used British fighter-bombers in an armed conflict in combat Canberra and we also had Hawk Hunter fighter-bombers
Greetings from Lima,Perú!
Nice to the REME get a mention 🇹🇩 Arte et Marte
5:24 I’m assuming this bad ass vehicle is a lot like the Land Rover Defender where u can literally take the entire thing apart block by block with a single tool? Love British Engineering!
The Foxhound is far better than the Defender, it transports six driver commander and four dismounts, it also has excellent blast ballistic, IED survivability. It’s an all round great bit of kit.
@@mac2626 definitely a more special operations role right? It’s bad ass looking!
@@MZ-bl6wg Not really special operations, just a newer vehicle that does the job better
Absolutely TOP ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and absolutely 💎 diamond ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Nice tactical helmet cover 👍
The one with the black helmet in the thumbnail is a german soldier from his uniform camouflage pattern
Keep safe everyone God bless..
Respect
The EOD Lt looks like Alyson Hannigan out of the movie 'American Pie'.
Not to sound stupid, but weren’t the French Foreign Legion previously deployed in Mali? I know they departed but what brought the UN for peacekeeping operations? Or were the FFL part of UN operations as well and the UK is just replacing them as part of a rotation of forces in the region?
They surrendered.
@@biddyboy1570
😭🤣
Yeah yeah but i think they withdrawn
@@planetxstudios6080They did the French thing and surrendered😆😆
1:31 ‘Ok guys, who parked his truck on top of Terry’s hat last night?’
Always WANN join the army
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
The British army are all over the place!
Surprising given there are only 75,000 (and falling)
Not an Army anymore,in spite of Government saying otherwise,drastically reduced in numbers,more like a Defence Force,increasingly dependent on Reservists to maintain operational capabilities
Deployment after deployment nowadays
@@DigitalMan6627 Yes and government allowing in an invading army of enemies that outnumber our armed forces and police, i call the betrayal by the PM and Home Sec in deliberately failing in their primary duty to the UK to protect and secure the safety and security of the UK and its people ......TREASON.
@@DigitalMan6627 you got the inside scoop huh?
@@kiwi36O what’s ice cream got to do with it ?????
Long Range Desert Group...so cool! Sorry, I mean 'Reconnaissance'.
Hai Inggris... Saya dari Indonesia.. Salam selalu 👍👍👍☺☺☺🙏🙏🙏
Have fun and come home safe everyone
Still the best army .. from my point of view
I didn't see any LQBTQ flags.
that's a good thing they need beating down and to keep their influence away from our children
what
Reminds me of LRDG in WW2
What was the name of the dog again?
I would put 5 dog hairs on the mechanical dog so it's not traced too easily
Cheers to Boris!
What’s the song at 2:53-3:10?
No, YOU can meet this Iskander.
Heroes
Please tell me these guys are keeping the LRDG legacy and lineage alive.
SAS Mobile Troop are pretty much LRDG
@@V.B.Squire But it's still SAS. Always thought the LRDG was the better outfit and would love to see their traditions and lineage continued.
@@formwiz7096 Trade secret, (until now)
When they are at ceremonies in public SAS guys wear a Red Scorpion Tie to stay low Key,
They know what it means, they know each other, and they know bs a mile off but yes in a way yes they preserve the colours & traditions themselves
WE LOVE YOU BORIS!
Finally a Boris we can be proud of
Shame hes gone let down by he's own party. But hopefully he will be back. I actually think that he would make a better PM now
After the hardest of years for anyone especially leading the country through a Pandemic and a war in Ukraine. We Thank you Boris please lead this country again against Sir Keir Starmer. They would ruin this country.
@@ENGBriseB millions would disagree
Good to see HAS D asset being utilised, extra few pounds in his pocket, and the pooch benefits too.
Why are all Majors in the British army still toffs? I find this incredible in the 21st Century. Especially given others actually have more experience of fighting their entire lives beyond where the caviar dish is going next. Are 'lower' class soldiers not capable of command, or does it depend upon what private school you go to? SNAFU.
Yes borisz enjoy that sun my lad
I only watched for the SCOTS DG.
🤩
❤ Nifty❤
im sure dragging a 17 strong mini field hospital around the country is great for their combat effectiveness...
It's nice to see people operating on operations, assisting and enabling other people on operations. I'm sure the people of Mali love being operated on, we all love being operated on don't we? Especially when it's free and unstoppable. Remember if you don't fight for your country you shouldn't have been born in that country, it's obvious. All the kit looks good, the dogs look good, it's all fair game. Remind me again, why are we here?
Here as part of the UN Minusma Peacekeeping mission,
Telic / Granby veteran spotted.
But what is their mission? who are they going to deter or defeat? So far all i know is that they are going to get some great experience in the desert. The OC could have given a quick 1 liner about why they are there and who they are operating against. Media Ops needs a rebrief.
It’s a stabilisation operation. A peace keeping role. The LRRG operates as the eyes and ears for the United Nations with capabilities to extend further than all the other nations. They get to the isolated areas of the country and are the catalyst for projects and rebuilding operations.
So just bumbling about basically
They have had islamic insurgency there, the French Foreign Legion were deployed...not sure if they are still out there.
Perfecl hunter1
Is this something similar to Pathfinders?
Pathfinder platoon prepare a landing zome for airborne troops, not really similar to this at all
That's a big fat no.
I saw your data collection application I need all help I can get
Abandoned by the MOD once you leave with PTSD
No one cares the day after you leave, especially as your PSTD was caused by a career of peeling potatoes
Be the best. The training, weapons and intelligence offered to Ukraine will forever be remembered. You are the best.
Anything that informs us civilians as to what our Armed Forces do is important. However, there appears to be nothing that explains what their actual Mission is, and who or what poses a threat to the UN forces? (or am I being remarkably stupid, which is quite possible, though I do try to keep up with current affairs?).
You missed nothing. They talk without actually saying anything.
damn, the name sounds like it came out of ace combat lol

Does Boris the dog travel in a special vehicle?

Not very camouflaged is it
Bloody turkey shooting in the UN ? Mate, thats not how the world works - your army is corrupt
Faugh-a- Ballagh!
You didn't bring any effect.. you did a runner from Mali
Constantly showing Scots DG soldiers and Jackals, but don't even give them a nod.
Apart from the Sqn OC talking.
Anyone ask why the UN troops aren’t used to burn out the poppy fields that clearly exist all throughout Afghanistan?
Tiny little army you have there.
Half ton Chevy.
I am sure they are doing a great job but that wont change the fact that UN operations have an extremely poor track record when it comes to success rates. You can have the sharpest knife possible but if the hand directing it doesn't know what to do with it you will get nowhere quickly. Just look at missions like UNTSO, UNMOGIP, or MONUC/MONUSCO, which have been operational for up to almost 75 years in the case of UNTSO, and achieved more or less nothing in all those years.

Great joke clown,Lol.
I think it is about time France, UK and all other foreign military units get out of Africa. I know many with limited knowledge would create some kickback here so all I will say is read up on the TRUTH of the UN missions and what other nations are doing in Africa.

The enemy could outwit us by using dinghies, we have no countermeasures.

Looks great.
I would like to join, but unfortunately I'm white and im also a heterosexual, so not the right type of person the U.K. Armed Forces wants to recruit in 2022.
I understood nothing from the first guy
are they gonna drop all their standards like the us army? i think not 😂😂
Lots of military buzzwords and no specifics from the speakers here like it's an ex.
