Unfortunately we did really well with that approach and caught people. On my work days I was guarding nukes and live armed. Once we had to dissuade the paras from attacking us when they got lost and launched CS gas at us. A simple tannoy warning from the machine gun towers about their imminent demise from a live armed site was enough to see them turn and run.

The Royal Engineers from Ulster that you talk about were 74 Regiment were a reserve unit (Territorial Army) stationed in my home town. They were bridge builders and for a time airfield repair. I knew a few of them and went to a few events at the camp. They were disbanded but reformed very soon after but as a smaller unit. A great bunch of lads. I joined the regular Army instead.

Lioneart was perhaps the most difficult yet enjoyable exercises I ever took part in during which we were able to practice all phases of war. There has been nothing like it ever since, nor is there ever likely to be anything like it again. The size of the British Army deployed on LIONHEART back in '84 dwarfs the pale shadow that now exists. We won the cold war because apart from anything else, the Soviet economy collapsed under the weight of trying to match NATO. Now, the situation is reversed. We simply cannot afford to update our Armour, all of which is likely to be mothballed while the Russians have recovered, become more professional under Putin, possessed of probably the best tank ever produced and arguably now more dangerous and aggresssive than they were back in '84.

@gloriousbritannia16674 жыл бұрын
I mean, the British economy is double that of the Russian economy, I wouldn't worry about it too much. To my knowledge, it's not about not being able to afford it, it is the government being cheap. We've also spent twenty years fighting insurgencies and, the military apparently is now shifting it's focus back to conventional warfare, so hopefully it will be better funded now.

@Iolis You have not won any Cold War. The USSR was destroyed politically, through the sold-out Gorbachev, you did not defeat anyone, you did not win anything, and that the Russians are more aggressive? That's probably why fascist NATO is expanding around the world and moving to the Russian border, but it's good that you have respect from the Russians. You would never have a chance to win a real war against the Russians, you would lose like Hitler and Napoleon.

@@ucirak The newly independent States applied to join NATO simply to avail themselves of collective protection against the reimposition of a Communist totalitarian system imposed upon them against their will and to which they no longer wish to return. Hitler and Napolian were stupid enough to invade Russia which is why they were defeated. NATO was formed to resist the type of incursion and takeover of independent Eastern Nations by the USSR which recent incursions in the Crimea have done nothing to assuage. When Russia ceases to be a Mafia state whose only claim to democratic legitimacy is the extent to which it is capable of murdering its political challengers it remains a one-party dictatorship in which the lives of its citizens are determined by the whims of a single man who will never voluntarily surrender absolute power. Until then, Russia remains a direct threat to Western democracy.

Also, apparently obvious Soviet agents in Trabants, Mercs and BMWs would drive round following British wives to try and work out what was going on. This happened so much there was a competition for wives to report said cars and receive 4 marks per correct ID xD

Nice footage - the 80's was my era even though I was just a kid, so I love seeing stuff from back then. That said, military exercises from back then are also a remainder that a very cold war could become very fucking hot. And forget nukes only flying - a war back then would have included EVERYTHING - nukes, conventional weapons, biological weapons, chemical weapons, the whole damn lot. And Europe, the Soviet Union and a pretty good chunk of both the middle-east and the US would have turned into barren wastelands.
