Themoocher 231 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 All this has been going on for years. Tic for tac. Went a bit stale there for while with the Russians been on there arse. But they are back in the game now. Been in Norway 4 times doing arctic training in the forces. Still do it incase the Russians attack on the northern flank. Fook knows what couple hundred of guys is going do. As there only few hundred do arctic training in the forces now. I thought the entire Marine corps did it? Or at least 3Cdo... Being the speacialty of the Artic Warfare Cadre. Surely that's 8k men? For that matter I know for a fact my mate in the RAF Regt has done it. Yeah but there isn't any where near 8k men arctic trained. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RubyTex 1,957 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 It gives our lot a real life exercise...is there that much of a risk it'll all kick off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 During the Cold War the Dutch, fins German soldiers went home at the weekend lol Aye it's a game, but as we all we know that can go wrong. The closest we ever came to an all out war. Was a NATO training exercise. The Russians were convinced that it was a guise. Seriously they came very close to war. It took those shady security services from both sides to convince there was nothing in it, and defuse the situation. Wonder if they can defuse Putin lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Themoocher 231 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thing is thou uk and rest Europe can't afford to Fook Russia about like they have in the past. Uk hasn't even got a carrier or air to put on till 2022 I believe. Our full armour vehicles are laying in the Middle East gathering sand. Don't know how much of the gear has actually come back from desert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 No c**t is going to war of Ukraine. We will threaten, and may very well impose sanctions. But actually sending troops to confront Russians. No chance lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Themoocher 231 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 If it had been before 2003 before all the Iraq and afghan. Russia would never been a loud to get away with what they have been doing for past 3 or 4 years. In Libya, Syria and now Ukraine. They would have got put back in there box like what happened in Kosovo and Bosnia and rest of the former states. The uk and USA have took there finger of the pulse getting caught up in the Middle East for past 15 years. Now Putin knows he can do what the Fook he wants, no matter how much Davy Cameron and Obama gob off about it. He knows there nuffin they can do. Also pulling all troops out of Germany is going leave the East Europe wide open. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think what happened over Syria is one reason why Putin has become so emboldened, I said at the time that it made us look weak.. I reckon Crimea would still be part of the Ukrane if we'd have acted on Assad after the chemical weapon attacks there.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,824 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 The Argies are constantly rattling on about the Falklands. f**k em! They're in an absolute shit state and would have their entire Navy and Airforce wrecked at the bottom of the southern Atlantic if they wanted to have another go. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Nah credit due. I had admiration for the argie Air Force. Seen RAF guys giving them credit Aswell. They showed skills and bravery during that conflict. And we came pretty close to losing that because of the Argie Air Force, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,824 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 You can have all the bravery you want, but that wont help you a shite when faced with RAF Typhoons armed with sidewinders and AMRAAMs. LOL The RAF and RN have technologically come on lightyears compared to the Argies. We were much more closely matched in the 80s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
