Hey Debbie! Thank you to your father for their tremendous service during the war. Must been fun riding along! 😁 Thanks for your kind words, I am glad you enjoyed all the different angles.
Love the videos and it's a good but sad sight as its a sign of what's to come, these past 3 weeks I've been seeing 2 chinooks every other day fly over our house in the west midlands in an area I've never known them fly over here before
It may be when near army bases but in wednesbury west midlands chinooks flying over every other day is definitely not a regular occurrence prior to last few months never seen one over the Midlands where I am, whereas down chisel beach Dorset whilst fishing I've seen plenty now down there its a regular occurrence, but chinooks flying over me definitely a sign they are transporting a hell of a lot of gear across the country for something
Chinoiserie regularly flies across Wednesfield going to Quuen Elizabeth 2 hospital in Harborne, Birmingham.They fy north over B6 5QE area probably going back.
Currently the number of active Army regular personnel would not fill the stands of the West Ham stadium (80,000 capacity); the whole Army Reserve plus the Brigade of Gurkhas would not quite fill Elland Road stands. Food for thought!
Debbie. Cobra Super Videos! Crystal Clear Photography. Just seen Memorial Flypast @ Lancaster Bomber! Turn Right @ Notting Hill Gate -Over My Flat Towards Hendon Over Air Museum To Base!!
I believe all these Oshkosh tank transporters are on permanent hire by the MOD, yes they are old vehicles, but each and everyone of them are thoroughly maintained. I do know they have had a nut and bolt re-build. Everything from the engine, chassis, gear box, cab etc has been restored ,and even obsolete parts have been bespoke made for them.
@@GG-hu9dn Whom else would pay besides the British tax payer ? the trouble is it's getting more expensive because less and less people pay tax! I guess you mean that with vehicles of this age the permanent lease fee should be terminated because the cost of them has been repayed time and time again ?
When I was young, we used to frequently have 32 Hercules transport planes fly over our house, from RAF Lyneham. Now the Hercules have gone along with Lyneham and many other capabilities, far too numerous to list here. When I was in the Royal Navy, we were worried because we `only` had 80,000 personnel and 8,000 Royal Marines. It is laughable what we have left now.
Seemingly recruitment is improving. They have to get rid of Capita who is/was the contracted out recruitment outfit as they are the reason for this. The military has to go back to their own recruitment!@@davericketts9101
I live just down the road and often see these Tank movements happen every other week down the A303. Due to these going though Tidworth, I suspect they were heading to the Perham Base or the training areas on Salisbury plain.
@@CobraEmergency sorry to burst everyone’s bubbles, I actually drive these for a living and we don’t have “security escorts”. We just have wide load escort vans.. anything else in the convoy is likely to be the tank crews
That was worth watching, thanks. Its the first time I have ever noticed that some of the tank transporters are on civilian licence plates and others are on military ones. Does anyone know why that is ?
The civilian company, KBR FTX Logistics, are contracted to operate them for general logistic movements during peacetime and thus display civilian plates. Whereas during hostile situations or exercises, 19 Tank Transporter Squadron operate them on MoD plates. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
I like those big trucks, who builds those? People forget that buying all the fighting vehicles doesn't stop there, you need transport like these for each one I'm guessing, then there is all the other bits of kit needed, I can imagine a large amount of the budget given to buy these fighting vehicles is spent on stuff like this, stuff that's essential, it would be interesting to see a breakdown down of all the kit needed just for 1 Tank and its full cost.
Wow ! Do we really have that many tanks ? Maybe they turned off the next junction went back to the last junction and went back onto the motorway just so they could parade them back past Cobra, again 🤔🧐😬👍🏼
@petercoleman2834 And, how many of those could go to war tomorrow?, do your figures take into consideration the dozen or so gifted to Ukraine? Our navy army and Air force have such potential and top end weapons systems but those numbers of systems would be painfully unsustainable if,perish the thought the U.K was to face a 'peer adversary?
We pay for their wars now in other countries while BlackRock takes over like Ukraine . We still pay to rebuild while globalists get ALL THE PROFITS and own everything after all the Ukraine /Russian blood lost and spilt ! Look to RFKennedy jr on that subject .

@@seizmo22 force 🤣😂🤣 what force?.. I don’t think this so called force can defend against thermal nuclear explosions.. this is real life, this ain’t something you see on TV like the footage of the Cold War.. modern day nuclear warfare will simply wipe out most life forms on the planet, If you think applying more week military delusional forces in effect, escalating a bad situation even more is a form of defense , your just as delusional as the corrupt globalists elect who are do the decision making in this country, who’s obviously thinking that there deep underground bunkers will save them.

Just need to build another 3000 + 2000 reserves and the British Army might stand a chance + air cover and anti-drone countermeasures.
9:58 look at the chain-work hook up it takes to hold down that tank Cobra..gotta be 80 ton on there..Heavy.
64 - 75t depending on what extra modules and armour they have on!
So where are they going to or from?
My guess is civil war if Tories try to scrap Pound Stirling.
