This will change with thermo sights 4.00 in on the video

Rifle is all weather, from coldest to hottest Def Stan, and every weather in-between. I'm curious as to your accuracy with a rifle when its pissing down with rain and you can't see the target. Same goes for any armored vehicle guns. It would have to be very very hard rain not to see more than 200 m...

Been away for a few days so just seen this but this is what POWs CSG should look like just with a few more USMC F-35's

until a clear strategy is defined So what, to your mind, constitues a clear strategy? Perhaps that's where we should all start, with agreement on that For me it is hold a tire 1 fighting capability ready in to fight in the Euro Atlantic region plus remain capable of deploying light mech fighting ca...

Why would anyone do that? They have different roles. Where do the Rangers fit in against a peer? 3rd Commando usually covered Arctic area. Should they carry on in that role? If the U.K. is to remain as the leading nation in the JEF region as our main land contribution to NATO why rely on a shrinkin...

Can the Rangers fit into 16AAB? Why would anyone do that? They have different roles. Can the Gurkhas scale up to a fully formed Brigade if the headcount needed to rise? If there is a need, 3rd Battalion could probably be reformed in some way (It was already in process of reforming as assistance bat...

so this is what we have to work with….. So what needs to be added to ensure the U.K. has 3 deployable Divisions with all necessary enablers? Could it be achieved with a headcount below 100k? Should this now be the scale of the ambition. It was a totally different security landscape back in 2010. Ev...

A bit of fun

Interesting little tip bit from the Dutch Collaboration with British There is also close cooperation with Great Britain. Dutch and British marines have been working together in the UK/NL Amphibious Force for over 50 years. Although both countries do not purchase identical ships, they do want to have...

Just my two cents IMO it is all the more important that UK takes a lead role in European theatre…. Perhaps the U.K. should now aspire (once again) to be the most capable military in Europe, with global reach but not necessarily comprise the largest in terms of armour and massed ground formations. T...

So firstly POW went in for unforseen repair works and now QE how will this effect Type 31 as the workforce will need to move between the two What??? Wont the workforce required for QNLZ be specialist in propeller shaft repair and be completely separate from the various welder, fabricators and piper...

Current cuts they could role back may, upgrading all our tanks to the Challenger 3 configuration instead of only doing 150, going back to the original buy of 5 E-7's, keeping our mine sweepers. I think you could make a case for all in the current situation. To achieve what exactly? That is why U.K....

If they are falling over themselves for Blackhawk and wish to ignore the supposed industrial strategy cut the program delete the funding. They might get the message then that industrial resilience matters it’s not a catchy sound bite. yeah, that'll help the squaddies Does in France and Italy What o...

You can certainly speculate, I go with submarines , strategic logistics, ISR, ew hardening, communication, special forces and ground based air defence. My main point is: • What does the UK actually need to be able to do better? • What is the U.K. not doing now that an increase in funding would faci...

Given that early thinking on MRSS was for 200 by 30 meter ship and adding this to the fast pace of drone tec and the way the FCF could be heading means for me we need to going for something like a 200 by 35 meter Osumi design with a merlin capable lift to the vehicle deck allowing the ship to act in...
