nice video... 500 feet is very low and it takes a lot of skill.. But if ur chute didnt open right due to a bad exit, which often happens, there is very little time to deal with it
Impressive jump. I'm currently serving in the Australian Army in 3RAR so it takes a lot for some Poms to impress me, especially just after you bastards won the Ashes!
Good Video. Just for interest sake. The old South African Defence Force namely 1 Parachute Battalion has jumped static line at 400 feet. This was done under the watchful eye of thethen Sgt Maj Johnny Kiesier. Anyway we are all part of the band of brothers. AIRBORNE
@putinniu You are being too safe. War is dangerous. If you want to win, you must take risks to get military advantage. Using low altitude capable parachutes assists in this effort.
01:30 March 1996, 1/17th Cav, 82nd Airborne dropped into Bowling Green DZ, Ft AP Hill Virginia. Our drop altitude was estimated at 450ft AGL. This included heavy drops and other hazards on the drop zone. This was with combat equipment, at night (zero illumination). using T-10A parachutes. The Rangers jumped into Panama at this altitude as well, with no reserves (no time to pull at this altitude). US Airborne forces can and do jump this low.
I have to correct you here the British Paras jump from 1000ft and operational jumps are from 600ft but never 500ft i have never jumped from 500ft or even heard of anyone jumping that low
@FlashPara 600 feet is far lower than we jump routinely; you can do this because you have better parachutes than we do. I don't know if our new T-11s can be jumped safely at very low altitudes like the British Irvin can. I hope so.
@dynmicpara We jump at just under 500ft. into Rio Hato, Panama, using T-10's. Intense ground fire coming up. SSG Wheeling was 2 people in front of myself, in the bird, and, he got shot before he left the plane. Myself and Sgt NXXX(he's still in, Delta, last I heard) and I had to unhook and go around him. I was in B Co. 3rd Ranger Bn. 75th Ranger Regt. 88-91.
@skyofrog Excellent experience. Did you jump reserves at Rio Hato? If so, was waist band used? Our point is that if we had the British parachutes we could do under 500 feet jumps safely. If you saw the T-10D opening statistics for under 500 you'd be alarmed. We need the British parachutes with reserve integral to back to stay under radar, expedite the parachute assault and assembly afterwards. I don't have data yet on the new T-11 if it can be jumped safely under 500 feet.
these guys are the fittest more highly trained soilders england has to offer outside the sas so for u usmc / army rangers sit back relax and let the big boys handle foriegn and domestic . thats why burger king had too pull out of us depots around the world.
if you have yet to be in the military and to go to airborne school then listen to when i say that the british and alot of other ppl come here and train...when i went through we had a few british guys among us...great guys..told me how its hard for them to even get to go to airborne school...so yes paratroopers are indeed a brotherhood
82nd ABN and Grouip. Have 3 countries wings. 105 Mil drops, sad to say only 2 are HALO, 5 are at 500 ft. The AIRBORNE the world over is a Brotherhood, friend and foe alike.
Well, I'm sure all the paratrooper units have "combat jumps". The D/Z is wide, not too much wind, therefore there is only a little risk, you have only an instant to deploy your reserve.
ok im glad americans are our allie and if someone declared war on america we would be the first to help but dont try and say your army is elite in anyway your deltas and seals are elite but our british SAS instructors train them.
The thing is with airborn units british or american is they've conquered fear ... especially the paras coz of milling and the trainazium and stuff .. marines are fitter and physically more robust... but they havn't conquered fear.
@Miles12345671 Not U.S. marines...they are not in shape to do either speed marches or IMT...I see no evidence that Royal Marines are any better than British Paras; in fact the data shows the contrary
im a US combat vet who served alongside of some of britatin's best.i assure you we are every bit as good and on par with our british counter parts.i have great respect for our brit mate's but guess what..they also had great respect for us!as far as the vid,it's awesome!when rangers jump on airfields its usually at 500.they did it in panama and afghanistan in the early days of the war.
@shoobee101 YOU MISS THE POINT. No matter how good YOU are, if your parachute will not open, you will be dead. The Brits have better parachutes than we have so they can jump under radar detection.
british para read the us lads comments cheers bro!love working with your lads too proffesional blokes llp can go as low as 250!!lol below 500 is scary tho!lol!
500 feet? Russian soldiers jumped from 80 meters (240 feet) more than 25 years ago. It took place at Tököl Airbase, Hungary. An old parajumper told me who was a witness.
I like what you have to say regarding many things within the US military dynmicpara. The only way to improve the quality of soldiers is to understand problems and fix them, not sweep them under the carpet and muddle things up with bureaucracy.
The Paras were outnumbered 10 to 1 against the Argentinians in the falklands. Most of them had practically run out of ammo by the end of the conflict and had attatched bayonets. Maroon Berets all the way!
@xXStupidHurtsXx I agree 100% very, very impressive with them when i was deployed. 500 feet is ridiculous, dropping that many so fast is just nuts, and quite a sight to see. I doubt they would let regular Airborne do that. Wouldn't doubt an SFG doing something of the sort. But 4-5 people from a chinook compared to 15+ jumping a 130 is a alarming difference.
Well, I'm an American who was in the 82nd during the 90's and I have a lot of respect for the British paras. We hosted for them in joint training while I was at Bragg. They were "lighter" (equipment-wise) than us, but they were inspired to be more "independent thinkers" than us. Brit paras had a certain "intimacy" that isn't seen in US military outside of special forces. (82nd isn't under special operations. Its a conventional force that happens to jump.)
i was on that training exercise we stayed at fort bragg and then moved to south carolina - some us marine place cannot remember the name of it. i was there for 6 weeks had a great time. got my US wings - we 'buddied' up with US lads. did a final exercise which was a night jump. yes thoroughly enjoyed it.
The Paras and SAS were used in Northern Ireland from 1969 through the 1990s. In that time LA saw more deaths from violence than Northern Ireland did. The LAPD may not have obstacle coarses like the british military, but its job is more demanding than what Northern Ireland had to offer. A special forces soldier of any military is a well trained sneak. What the paras did at bloody sunday was pretty chickenshit. I know Irish that would wipe the floor with them in street fight.
Actually not, the Paras would trounce any Irish thugs whining about their independence. The Paras actually work hard at their jobs. I don't have much sympathy for whiners who don't have any due diligence to live peaceful lives who have a lust to rebel against something because a gun or a bomb is more fun than doing something constructive.
FALSE. If you SURPRISE the enemy you can jump on top of him. However, I don't advocate jumping directly onto enemies, but you still need to land undetected elsewhere so you can still surprise him.
LISTEN to the plane sounds here in the video then imagine how it would not be heard coming in low until upon you. Get out and experience some reality and you'll answer many of your questions.
In how many countries are you qualified, hommie? I am a canadian Airborne, and I know the hardship of the training here. However, I would not make a fool of myself telling everyone that my country gives the hardest training of all, since I Do Not Know Shit About Others'. How about you? I would be interested to hear from your multiple-country-based-experience? Take care jumper (if you are one)
This isn't true. I know a unit of US Army Soldiers who jump lower than this. I will practice opsec and not give details, but this is being beaten by far, and the landing is into harder grounds... Thank you everyone.
So kick my American butt. I was 3/505 with the 82nd and 101st in Vietnam. I am a 71542 and will always wear that Eagle on my right shoulder. My friend was a grad of Sandhurst. 22SAS, etc. We both have our wings.
Im an American and i do have to admit that the Brits have better parachute regiments than we do in the U.S. not as good as our special forces but still pretty damn good.
I agree about the Airborne, seeing as they train a lot longer to perfect their techniques. Also, they some good combat experience (Look at 2 Paras experience at FOB Gibraltar), plus they have experience bayonet charging Argentinian MG nests amongst other things.
Definitely don't agree about Special forces though. All our special forces are probably on Par, and if anything, British SAS and SBS are better.
Our special forces aren't as good as the America's? You have to be joking, The selection process for both the SBS and the SAS is twice as demanding as delta force, we have trained soldiers. You have blithering rednecks who can't string a coherent sentence together. Christ.
i have french wings dont no where that gadjy got his maths from but i remember having time for a cupa and photos before i landed 1200ft i think ha ha what a gift..
The US Airborne is too big that's why they have not gone to better chutes. It would cost way too much. I'm sure someday they will but it's just cost prohibitive now. And when I went through Jump School at Fort Benning we had prolly close to 300 people in the class. And when you take that times the number of classes every year that adds up to a lot of paratroopers. I'd expect to see Rangers, SEALs, Delta etc be the first to get new equipment before the rest of the Airbone Infantry.
haha sure... whatever you say alex9341. I tell you what actually. I would give you 100 quid if you could pass p company.
please fuck off with ur 'america is amazing' bullshit. ur military is badly trained and try to make up for it by pumping money into new equipment. a good idea if you had the training to back it.
very imperessive, i saw some british paras in arnhem jumping out of C-130's and Typhoons. (It was an operation market garden commemoration) They looked quite low there too.
I am an American. I can easily say British Paras and Royal Marines exceed American units.I have the utmost respect for the British and I am glad they are on our side.
usmc are loudmouth thats because they have something to be loudmouth about. I woulnt say their elite ,but they are specialized. Elites are U.S Army Rangers.
LIKE WHAT? Pros are not loud-mouthed braggerts. USMC botched Beirut, their half of Iraq invasion in 2003, suffers needless casualties due to incompetence today...they need to STFU and reform--or be disbanded.
@shinydiscoballz1 Rangers? You've never heard of Special Forces (SF) or Sea Air Land (SEAL) Rangers are specialized in what they do, just as SF and SEALs are specialized in what they do, when it comes right down to it, everything and every one has to mesh to form a cohesive fighting force and that includes allied military units.
Not much under 500 feet our parachutes do not reliably open at 250 feet like the Brit's parachutes.
That's the point of this video to get the American Airborne off its quick-to-brag ass and get better parachutes so it can be the best in reality--and not need to brag about it.
too right man they had to copy the sas's training programme for delat force cus they couldnt be bothered with their own and of course the sas was showing delta force up.
You moron... Delta Force was modeled around the SAS by an American officer who had trained with the 22nd SAS... "Showing Delta Force up" You don't have a clue about the 1st SFOD-D (CAG) mate.... I'm tired of morons stupid comments.
They are a real tough bunch the Brit Paras, got to give them that.
Of my 21 years service I had the opportunity to train with them twice in peace and fought along side them once in war, can't complain, not one bit. A top notch group.
If you ask me, I will say that the British and Swedish paratroopers are the best. My dad who was a Swedish Paratrooper. Once jumped from 100m. Now thats less than 12 secounds under canopy.
Its not many in the world that can accomplish that.
Agree...but I think the quality of todays Swedish paras are even better than the ones that graduated with your father. Selection to the Swedish Paras today is extreme because they only educate about 30 soldiers every year. Seem like you have to be superman or something=S
Even as a former member of the United States Airborne I can fully admit my awe and respect for those lads.
Tradition and pride run rampant in most places. Even office cubicles. In the end, we're all human and do what we can. Sometimes its hard to remember that giving credit and respct to others doesn't diminish your own.
That being said I love your comments and numbers. Be safe and live well.
"The British are the best as we have SAS, SBS, and more stuff. Seals think there better 2, the only reason USA are powerfull is the numbers, the british soldier are much more powerfull and better trained."
the french are gays, there all pussys, The British are the best as we have SAS, SBS, and more stuff. Seals think there better 2, the only reason USA are powerfull is the numbers, the british soldier are much more powerfull and better trained.
dammn fine. But the Ruskies in ww2 went one better, they dropped guys out into snow drifts WITHOUT a chute. Well, they did try it at least once.................................
Very impressive, but I must say the french foreign legion elite 2nd Foreign Parachute Regiment (2e REP) is trained to jump even lower, at 125 meters or less ! And the other french paratroop elite formations, not all paratroops but the best, the two Marine Infantry Parachute Regiments (RPIMa), are trained the same way as the Legion. Anyway, I have seen the british paras in combat and training in documentaries and I must say they are at least as good as the french ones. A true elite unit !
shut up koupain! why watch a video on BRITISH paras and then have the cheek to say ' oh by the way our lads are better than you' stick to your own french videos before making annoying remarks against our soldiers.
He said French and British Paras are equivalent (=).
Still Not true.
I'll say it here for umpteenth time.
THE BRITISH PARAS HAVE BETTER PARACHUTES SO THEY CAN JUMP LOWER than French and U.S. Paras. I showed the math. British jump procedures are sounder than ours in the U.S.
It was just to discuss and extend the subject. I think it is the perfect place to discuss about the abilities of the different airborne forces in the world talking about sheer numbers, altitude, etc which is the matter here. And that taughted me that the british have better equipment, so I'm glad to have opened my mouth :) thank you dynmicpara for your patient explanation. 250 feet... wow that sounds incredible ! I definitely have to know more about them "Red Devils".
most of our equipment isnt that great like the SA80 standard rifle jams more than the streets of london lol but the mark 2 version SAS rifle is the shit
Lay off mate, hes complementing the Paras, not slaging them off, and i agree with him perfect place to discuss the worlds forces, and compare, complement etc!
We get kicked out the plane at 1000 feet over Calvi as the pilots follow the regulations. All para's train to have a clean exit no matter what altitude the green goes on.
Hat's off to Brit paras because they DO have the opportunity of doing a training jump at 100m.
nice video... 500 feet is very low and it takes a lot of skill.. But if ur chute didnt open right due to a bad exit, which often happens, there is very little time to deal with it

Not lower enough, "Not Low Enough".
Also this isn't the lowest altitude we drop mate.
Don't take offense mate, i see your from Indonesia so just showing you the correct way to say it mate.

This isn't true. I know a unit of US Army Soldiers who jump lower than this. I will practice opsec and not give details, but this is being beaten by far, and the landing is into harder grounds... Thank you everyone.

So kick my American butt. I was 3/505 with the 82nd and 101st in Vietnam. I am a 71542 and will always wear that Eagle on my right shoulder. My friend was a grad of Sandhurst. 22SAS, etc. We both have our wings.

Im an American and i do have to admit that the Brits have better parachute regiments than we do in the U.S. not as good as our special forces but still pretty damn good.

Sorry buddy but no one can match Great Britains special forces. They were the first and are still the best.
MrJasonSmarts 3 years ago 8
I agree about the Airborne, seeing as they train a lot longer to perfect their techniques. Also, they some good combat experience (Look at 2 Paras experience at FOB Gibraltar), plus they have experience bayonet charging Argentinian MG nests amongst other things.
Definitely don't agree about Special forces though. All our special forces are probably on Par, and if anything, British SAS and SBS are better.
Azog150 3 years ago 28
Our special forces aren't as good as the America's? You have to be joking, The selection process for both the SBS and the SAS is twice as demanding as delta force, we have trained soldiers. You have blithering rednecks who can't string a coherent sentence together. Christ.

clegmistergeneral 3 years ago
The US Airborne is too big that's why they have not gone to better chutes. It would cost way too much. I'm sure someday they will but it's just cost prohibitive now. And when I went through Jump School at Fort Benning we had prolly close to 300 people in the class. And when you take that times the number of classes every year that adds up to a lot of paratroopers. I'd expect to see Rangers, SEALs, Delta etc be the first to get new equipment before the rest of the Airbone Infantry.

Hi ,
please be kind to those USA guys. They havent won a single battle yet, but they are trying very hard.
Thye keep practicing at killing but sadly its nearly always blue fire. Still killing your allies is better than not killing anybody.
Thye seem to have perfected the drill of mouthing it off.
They must be the best because they say so - just watch the movies?

@shinydiscoballz1 Rangers? You've never heard of Special Forces (SF) or Sea Air Land (SEAL) Rangers are specialized in what they do, just as SF and SEALs are specialized in what they do, when it comes right down to it, everything and every one has to mesh to form a cohesive fighting force and that includes allied military units.

Not much under 500 feet our parachutes do not reliably open at 250 feet like the Brit's parachutes.
That's the point of this video to get the American Airborne off its quick-to-brag ass and get better parachutes so it can be the best in reality--and not need to brag about it.

If you ask me, I will say that the British and Swedish paratroopers are the best. My dad who was a Swedish Paratrooper. Once jumped from 100m. Now thats less than 12 secounds under canopy.
Its not many in the world that can accomplish that.
Antoxii 3 years ago 4
Agree...but I think the quality of todays Swedish paras are even better than the ones that graduated with your father. Selection to the Swedish Paras today is extreme because they only educate about 30 soldiers every year. Seem like you have to be superman or something=S

Even as a former member of the United States Airborne I can fully admit my awe and respect for those lads.
Tradition and pride run rampant in most places. Even office cubicles. In the end, we're all human and do what we can. Sometimes its hard to remember that giving credit and respct to others doesn't diminish your own.
That being said I love your comments and numbers. Be safe and live well.

Very impressive, but I must say the french foreign legion elite 2nd Foreign Parachute Regiment (2e REP) is trained to jump even lower, at 125 meters or less ! And the other french paratroop elite formations, not all paratroops but the best, the two Marine Infantry Parachute Regiments (RPIMa), are trained the same way as the Legion. Anyway, I have seen the british paras in combat and training in documentaries and I must say they are at least as good as the french ones. A true elite unit !

125 meters = 412 feet
The Brits can jump far lower at 250 feet = 76 meters, all thanks to their excellent Irvin LL parachutes

It was just to discuss and extend the subject.

We get kicked out the plane at 1000 feet over Calvi as the pilots follow the regulations. All para's train to have a clean exit no matter what altitude the green goes on.
