        Motorman was in Norn Iron.

        You're right with the Malvinas though, my bad.

          You couldn't miss an opportunity to spam the board with another press release.

          Start a thread "RGJ's regurgitated press releases" and just add to that instead of starting a new thread for every single thing that goes on.
          this is the sort of pathetic narrow minded attitude what we were supposed to be getting away from?

          i posted something of interest in the Foreign Forces section and it's not good enough for Goldie and you RJ can't comprehend the fact that a lot of the kit in there is of interest to many.

          now go dry your eyes RJ.

            MOD: Stop trolling. Stop jumping to the bait. Cool it everyone. Later I will be dishing out points and warnings.
            "Fellow-soldiers of the Irish Republican Army, I have just received a communication from Commandant Pearse calling on us to surrender and you will agree with me that this is the hardest task we have been called upon to perform during this eventful week, but we came into this fight for Irish Independence in obedience to the commands of our higher officers and now in obedience to their wishes we must surrender. I know you would, like myself, prefer to be with our comrades who have already fallen in the fight - we, too, should rather die in this glorious struggle than submit to the enemy." Volunteer Captain Patrick Holahan to 58 of his men at North Brunswick Street, the last group of the Four Courts Garrison to surrender, Sunday 30 April 1916.

              anyhow i liked the hovercraft and would have liked to have seen more of the BARV in action.

              an interesting bit of kit indeed.

                Amphib capability is the only real way of getting the heavy kit on the ground.
                Airmobile is fine, but it takes a lot of C17s/C5s to deploy an armoured regiment on enemy turf.

                    As long as we don't find a need to comment negatively on his post, at which point, he throws the toys out of the play pen, and calls us trolls..

                      Let him who is without sin etc.


                      the title of the vid mentions its a test of MOD current capabilities in this area. Noting they are downsizing them is at the very least fair comment.

                      What role would these yokes play ? As far as I can see only the yanks take this game seriously any more, with the MEUs.

                        They have 4 primary roles
                        1 Humanitarian Aid
                        2 Counter Piracy
                        3 Strike Ops
                        4 Evacuation
                        Between those taskings am sure the group will be busy for the foreseeable future

                          Good report. They finally replaced the Centurion BARVs they were an awesome bit of kit and lasted for years.

                          Its what the RM do for bread and butter , nice to see them show off their capabilities, even if the Larges Bay is a severe loss there is still sufficient kit to move the RM around, dunno about the rest of the army though.
