@BootneckStuff Maybe - apologies for the skeptisism, there has been just too much bs lately, hence I'm a bit touchy.

@__Nonsensical Maybe they did. Maybe this was the first run through so out in the open 🤷♂️

42 Cdo Royal Marine Commandos and 4th Battalion, Ranger Regiment (4 RANGER), flown into position by RAF Mk 6 Chinooks, fast-roped to the ground to start a mock attack on an enemy position at Otterburn training camp in Northumberland.

@yuanyi_z Especially as they cannot just nip down the boozer for a quiet pint. Where else can they unwind in company?

I am finding some of the responses to Hannah Spencer's very serious point just baffling. Paramedics, bus drivers, nurses doctors all work late. They cannot drink alcohol whilst at work. Reeking of alcohol/being pissed is a serious disciplinary matter.

@BootneckStuff So then surely do it onto a building or into a forestry block, of which there are plenty?
English
@__Nonsensical Training for when they will need to fast rope.
English
@BootneckStuff Serious question. Why are they fast roping when they could just land and all pile out once? Is it just for the pretty pictures?

The Russian Army would think all their Christmas' have come at once if they saw this bollocks in combat. @RoyalArmdCorps why are you discrediting yourselves and the entire @britsharmyUK by posting it.

@RoyalArmdCorps Tell me that you've learned NOTHING from Ukraine, without telling me you've learned NOTHING from Ukraine.

@BO3673 How are they going to work out which mission is targeting what? Sounds unlikely that the US is briefing us on that.

AirTanker now lobbying hard for more money
“AirTanker, which maintains the RAF’s fleet of 14 Voyager planes, said it “stands ready to invest” up to £2bn for upgrades to the aircraft, which refuel the UK’s F-35B stealth jets and Typhoon interceptors now defending the Gulf from Iranian drone attack”
“Stands ready to invest” is also an interesting phrase…

@MRJKilcoyne Does the "national security exemption" not provide enough cover against a trade spat?
English
Anyone thinking this is small fry is missing the fact it will cover 95%(!!!) of all contracts by value.
We're sleepwalking into a trade spat with this one. Well not so much sleepwalking as openly celebrating the fact before it happens.

@UKDefenceDublin I got the "sign a refreshed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance bilateral defence cooperation." bit the first time you wrote it. Saying the same thing 3 times in 4 posts, tells us everything we need to know about your lack of focus. Were you on a word count bonus?

@TonyDowson5 Entirely warranted. My Mum gets 2-3 a week, all using subtle lies. Claim they are from from govt, or council usually energy/insulation schemes. Being polite she fell for them nearly every time, wasting minutes on the phone each time until the penny dropped.

Pain in the arse that so many over 50s seem to have systems installed on their phones where unrecognised numbers immediately get sent to voicemail.

Brigadier Guy Foden, ACOS Ops at PJHQ, said UK troops in Erbil shot down two Iranian drones overnight but several more got through.
He said: “Last night they shot down two UAVs coming at the camp, but a number of UAVs did impact on the camp.”

@Zaphod2042 @BearJFK Agreed. I don't understand why single mounts are ever used except on very small vessels. A little extra weight for a twin, for a doubling of rate of fire.
