Lebanese Air Force undergo Royal Navy underwater escape training

At RNAS Yeovilton, the Underwater Escape Training Unit, also known as 'The Dunker', allows personnel to practice getting out of an aircraft quickly, safely and efficiently.
Pilots and helicopter crew from the Lebanese Air Force took on The Dunker in a module designed to recreate the cabin of a Puma helicopter.

“RAF Yeovilton”? That will have the RNAS up in arms!

[@joe-vl3nd]

Good to see Britain first always 👍🇬🇧

[@taffiejames1496]

Royal naval air station Yeovilton, You would have thought forces news would have got it right!!

[@user-or1tp7cx8u]

NOT RAF. IT'S RNAS.

[@robertgraffham6440]

Yes it's nothing to do with the RAF! It's RNAS Yeovilton. The worlds premier flying force. The FLEET AIR ARM.

[@shidzngigglez]

RNAS Yeovilton maybe 🤔

[@w.s.2102]

Lucky them, at least they get to eat food, unlike many of their fellow citizens

[@davidbuckland5976]

I thought it was RNAS Yeovilton

[@UKSimon4170]

RAF? Think you mean RN. Blimey, can't have the Crabs claiming it as theirs.

[@mac2626]

Why is the RAF training the Lebanese Air Force????

[@SamuelHarrison]

A partner nation in the region, strengthening bonds and co-operation

[@IsraelMilitaryChannel]

They might actually need this if they ever decided to go head to head against the Israeli air force in the Mediterranean sea

[@Jin-Ro]

Didn't Lebanon beat Israel the last time with Israel losing quite a bit of kit in the process.

[@IsraelMilitaryChannel]

@@Jin-Ro Is that why the leader of Hezbollah Nasrallah is still hiding underground in his bunker since 2006 until today? Legend has it that the IDF's 5 finger print mark is still on his @ss while he claims victory from his hole

[@thl205]

No one should need this if political leaders do their job properly

[@briantitchener4829]

@@Jin-Ro No. In 2006 the UN brokered a ceasefire and Israel called off their naval blockade of Lebanon. Stalemate. Lebanon has never beaten Israel and probably never will.

Did it with some Arabs..one so scared he threw himself out of the window before submerged...breaking his nose on the way out....

[@kennymedic58]

Not sure how I feel about this, don’t think that UK 🇬🇧 forces should be working with Lebanese forces at all..

[@phucknuts.7065]

Uk is running out of friends and very fast.

[@JoeyIndolos]

The biggest thing that I learned from this is that Lebanon still has an air force. I thought that the country was severely bankrupt.

[@malcolmrose3361]

Why on Earth not work with Lebanese forces? The Lebanese armed forces are one of the last institutions in the country that gets even grudging respect from every faction there.

[@kennymedic58]

@@malcolmrose3361 I’d rather work with the Israelis to be honest..

[@grahampritchard5284]

Building positive relationships with Lebanese air force can only be good. They are clearly no threat to Isreal, the country needs support to get on its feet again!

Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Pretty certain they’ll be passing our skill set on to Hezbollah as soon as they get home

[@thl205]

You obviously know nothing about Lebanon
