British Army Puma helicopter drills UNCUT full length

British Army 16 Regt RA PNCO Cadre 2014 conducting helicopter drills with an RAF Puma and doing some fun low level flying over southern Wales!

I went in one of these today as part of Op Agile Spear, and sat right on the seat opposite the open door. it was amazing!

[@jonathangalloway6796]

We used these nearly every day in Northern ireland , it was a great site to see after a 12 hr foot patrol. Or nothing worse if bad weather came in at the end of a patrol and the flight home was canceled. Cmv extraction

A very welcome sight indeed! Especially at night, waiting in the freezing cold of some hill top!

[@DJBoysToys]

bloody fantastic video very much enjoyed it thank you

[@cloudchaser9287]

Thank you!

[@adriantoye]

Great video. How many troops can it lift with all their weapons, gear and door gunners onboard?

[@ThePoshPrince]

southern wales have some mesmerizing landscapes

[@ThePoshPrince]

is the british army still operating those ?

[@cloudchaser9287]

it really is beautifull there! The Puma helicopters are still very much in service, the RAF has several squadrons flying them.

[@herr_ling]

Cool

[@Fergietube100]

I think I might have been Captain that day.

[@cloudchaser9287]

No way! That would be cool! If you were, thank you for the ride :)

[@kirad2234]

Pilots aren't captains

[@ToonandBBfan]

Bet its great riding with the door open!

[@janoycresovas5order66compa9]

sure is!

[@cloudchaser9287]

It is!

[@bazilmatthews9299]

wow, that was slow. hey use to almost throw us off as the wheels were touching the ground and lifting off as the last mans feet touched the floor

[@lauraramona2689]

Dudes why advertise Puma when that massive tank won't allow you to jump from it but will block the doors and you will parachute into his helics

[@daveslow84]

Wat? 🤔😀😀😀

[@ciaranhanvey501]

RAF Puma, Not Army...

[@nadeemsadiqmalik]

In a drop zone we don't terminate the approach to hover , state go for the ground , secondly staying on ground for more then 2.5 minutes ,, real time enemy will not let you take off , poor timings and DZ Drills

[@cloudchaser9287]

Alright Mr armchair tactician. This was litterally the first time practising these drills which is why there is an instructor there... That's why everyone got up and back into the heli, which also obviously wouldn't make much sense if you were getting dropped off in a DZ.

[@lauraramona2689]

Again NOT a PUMA helicopter as advertised

[@daveshea5459]

What is it then?

[@ANDIMILLS1]

That is a Puma

[@jackmccollum6632]

If its not a puma, then what is it? The puma is the main helicopter used by the armed forces for exercise like this.

[@daveslow84]

Not sure what caused the confusion... This is a puma! That's what we all called it when I filmed the video and that's what you'll find if you Google "RAF Puma helicopter" and check what it looks like... 🤔😉

[@ThePoshPrince]

- that's not a puma - what helicopter is this then ? -
