Well drilled guys.

I am always impressed by the way some armies march.

Changing of the guard outside the Kremlin for example.

I quite enjoyed that, I'm sure the general was tickled pink and not by the G+Ts I have just made him either!

Not a bad bit of kit, not as good as a self propelled gun, but an interesting compromise. With its fast fire rate, I wonder if the gun has multiple firing, variable trajectory technology, so all the rounds hit the target at the same time?

The troops drill was quite comical, but the Indian army has a good combat record, ask Pakistan.  ::) ::) ::)

Titled public demonstration, so I presume a bit of a show for the public watching?

At least they have an army and a rather sizeable one. The way this country is going, we may not have one before long. Wonder who would be laughing then?

From what I can remember of our defense cutting disaster so we can increase the foreign aid budget, so receiving countries like Argentina can afford more weapons to use against us review, the army logistic, engineering, artillery and tank regiments all took a real hammering.   >:( >:( >:( >:(

The ConDems have done exactly that in terms of having a now not having A coherent defense structure. An example is where we scrapped out mini carriers and sold our Harriers for next to nothing to the US marines, we have asked any potential enemy, to please not attack us in an out of area location until at least 2020 as we have no air cover capability. I'm sure any enemies like the Argentinians will be happy to oblige by not attacking while we are weak, they will happily wait until 2020 when we are strong again.  :o :o :o :o

The cutting up of a delivered system with the Nimrods was a spiteful criminal act as bad as the Labour's governments scrapping of TRS2 and having all of the prototypes destroyed. In fact even worse as at least the TSR2's were prototypes and not production aircraft, in the process of being handed over to the RAF. What makes this decision even more stupid is that our other Intel aircraft due to Iraq and Afghanistan are being massively over worked, so they are well ahead of their air frame flying hours, compared to what was expected.

So in the future in a major conflict like Iran, apart from our army, not having adequate logistical support, engineering backup to cross rivers etc, not enough artillery or tanks, and being totally reliant on US carrier support, we should be fine.

Aah yes – when all the lobbying is done, the committee meetings held, the private arrangements made and the resultant decisions pushed past a somnolent parliament baffled by anything other than the day to day issues of party politics/expense accounts/pensions and future prospects, then – and only then – will the realisation dawn on some of those troglodytes that warfare is an intensely personal process which, despite the assurances of people operating under a personal agenda, cannot be conducted by wholly remote means.

Warfare employing standoff technology is seldom successful in practice - irrespective of what the MOD strategists prefer to believe and, at some point, those famous ‘boots on the ground’ will need to be deployed; therefore logistical support is, and will always be, of the utmost importance.

Then, button pushing is so ‘now’ whereas dealing some poor bastid to death from anything less than heights of several thousand metres is so last century and, being so, is completely alien to our present cadre of warriors a fair proportion of whom have been weaned on video games – a pastime that has more than adequately prepared them for the 21st century iteration of that formally very dirty game of killing people as efficiently as possible without assailing the nostrils with the stench of combat.
