Another thing that puzzles me is the commando, CQB, mop-up style actions that the troops in the vid are displaying. It would seem to me that the primary purpose of pathfinders is to mark drop zones. So in order not to give the enemy any clues regarding the prospective drop zone, I'd say that stealth should be the pathfinders' credo. That is, they should shy away from pitched battles. Can somebody shed some light on this?
@hgintern Probably Ive got a friend in the Australian Army adn he says our special forces are using the M4 whereas the rest of our troops use the Steyr
The enigma code was cracked when a U-Boat became damaged in the north sea and had to surrender to the Royal Navy, they found a decoding device on board, From then on the British had the power to read all German codes. The US cracked the Japanese codes before the war broke out. Just an FYI
This is a really great video. Always interesting to see footage of UKSF doing there stuff. These are some seriously tough guys. I briefly knew a guy who had rebadged from the PFs, and he was definitely not someone you messed with!
@jkun17 Because elite units of the British Army such as the SAS and the Pathfinders train with a vast multitude of small arms, not just the standard L85A2 or the SA80A2 as it's known in the British Army
I have a question. The Brigadier looks to be in his 20's. I know in the American Army our Generals are usally in their early 50's. How does that work in the British Army? He seems to have a great deal of training and experience, but there again, looks quite young.
my father in law was one of the original pathfinders in ww11 and still going strong at ninety and still as tough he was the reason i joined the paras after leaving the aattv after nam in 1972 always remember on the 8th day god made the paras and the devil ran
@toppaz79 Don't forget Tommy Flowers MBE, he designed Colossus, the world's first programmable computer. It's a shame he's always forgotten, I suppose the nature of code braking (being highly secretive) is to blame.
UKNationalAirsoft....What im saying is we layed the ground work. Do not even drag me on the subject of the phone lol.....It seems like im on here every day now....with these comments.
When i'm older I am hoping to join the British army and eventually become a Pathfinder, if I wear glasses that make my vision perfect when wearing them, would I be medically acceptable to undergo training for the role?
toppaz79..I know your country likes take all the credit....but the orgins of the internet reach back to research of 1960s ,commishioned by the United States government. have you heard of (DARPA)? ARPANET was the first operational packet switching network of sets that came to compose the global internet....
I wish a program would open up here in my town so that I can practice SOP's for future references and shit. I think learning SOP's would be amazing for future knowledge just in case if the world goes to shit.
Rubberbandits7........Really ? lol....The Atanassoff-Berry Compuer was the first ELECTRONIC computing device conceived in 1937 and successfully tested in 1942 and from that came the ENIAC a u.s army project........so go back to the mirror........(.concern.?..lol )...you fucken..ass clown.
@richieh1980 calling a brigadier a posh twat is fucking ignorant s fuck you should know tht most officers are middle classed and so have a 'posh' accent. I have this accent and am im gooing to sandhurst you bellend. Get educated.
@TheRationalRant I am British but would not be so downtrodden to serve in such a crude military. I am a French Foreign Legionnaire and all the better for it. Embarrassed?? the only embarrassment here is our Government and the way our military is
fuck up ...british military is the best in the world dickhead fuck the french the only reason you joined the legionaire is because the brits wouldnt let you in so you took it bad and bad mouth the brtis ...fucking tosser
@sarahooxo Wrong again shit for brains. The British Army are a cause for no cause. I wouldn't be so low as to swear my allegiance to a woman, ie: The Queen who rips off the taxpayers by living in comfort and scrounges off the state that we pay for. So shut the fuck up you scag mouth fuck wit
naaa im not wrong your just in denial ....the legionaires are good but the brits are the best trained in the world ....well there is going to be a king when the queen passes away ...so what will your excuse be then?
@sarahooxo No excuse. I can't stand and hate the Royals so I have no business in being one of their muppets defending their failning so called country called Great Britain. Not so great anymore but as long as they are living in luxury and eeryyone else is living off of scraps then you must think it is ok. As I said I would never swear allegiance to any Royal no matter who they are. And I never compared the Legion to the British Army so where you got that from I don't know???
@richieh1980 You're 18 a kid, not in any service, never been in a war, never been in a position to take anyone's life. You don't know anything. And TBH you won't see action in the British Army 95% guaranteed. As for you saying what military is better, you got no clue because you have no military experience. I'm 32, 13 years French foreign legion service, served in Afghan, Iraq, Guiana + worked with British and US military and I have respect for them both. Grow up and then come back when ready

@TheMrTantalum You will find that the codes changed regularly and had to be constantly rebroken by humans initially then by the computer that they developed..
I hate Americans who think they're better than the rest. You shouldn't of watched the video if you were going to complain, fuck off back to your 101st shit if you dont like it.
irelandor...LOL Are you smoking crack !!! look up this units history and then look up 101st and 82nd airbourne history.......i swear all the other english speaking countrys think they came up with this shit lol i see alot of american wepons in all these videos......i need to look up halo...lalo ....air assult....locking out of nuculer subs....combat air controlers and many other wepon systems that special units have that makes them elite........i bet america was the ones that did it first.
i m just glad their on ourside . Its all changed but it was a feeder for the worlds best special forces unit in the world bar none . All base their training on the SAS.
Does someone know if they give you like a years training for the parachute training? Cause I want to join the SAS later, and I heard that you'll do a parachute training and Im scared of hights so Im wondering if they like give you enough time to get used it it...anyone know some info about that stuff??????
@emogamer96 if you join the parachute regiment, you will do ariel assault courses that are designed to adjust you to heights, however you will only get a chance to complete the course once, if you hesitate more than once, they will fail you. the same goes for the acutal jumps, if you hesitate at the door, you will fail. if you think you will falter at the moment of truth, then it is not worth putting yourself through pure hell to get there. if you do choose to do it though, best of luck!
@Alroight Well, lets just hope that I wont fail, I'v still got 3 years to train myself not to be scared of the hights, I will do anything to achieve jumping out of a plane and using a parachute. So I need all the luck and training ofcourse. Thanks mate!
There is the SAS, and there is also, i think, a naval version when i last checked it out at the British Army website. (For each regiment, there is a phone number, if you need more information on them.)
The SAS do not endorse, or happily accept anything saying about anything on the SAS training program.
Also, ild like to say, that when jumping from heights, a parachute is one of the most re-assuring things available. If you want to get good w/ heights, Visit the CN tower in Toronto.
@TMPRDX Yeah there is a naval version, but they dont really mention about it. And I have seen some SAS training, and set-up about it. The ''what-to-know and how-to-do'' of SAS training. And I do understand that the parachute is the most re-assuring thing, jus tmy problem is the hights, which..hopefully in time, will pass away. I'll check out the CN tower in Toronto, when I've got some more money, but I think I'll first go with the Eiffel Tower. Its closer. But thanks for the tips :)
@emogamer96 Eiffel tower is good, but if you go to the CN tower, if you've seen pictures, theres a bulge like, near the top?
On that bit, the floor is made of like, Elephant glass, so its really thick, and you know you wont fall, but you can see right through it, and it is polished, like dayly, so you can see all the way down, to the floor, and when you're standing on it, it can be quite scary... one way to get rid of your fear of heights, is to lie down, face first on it, check it out with
@TMPRDX Ok I'll check if I can go to Canada, Toronto, CN tower once.. and I'll do it with the glass with, its good to know that I wont fall through it. I hope I get rid of my fear, I've seen alot of films about parachuting and to come to facts about what will and can happen.
@emogamer96 Check it out with your parents some time.
Plus, Canada is an amazing place to go in the winter, it allways snows, and they love to put all their xmas decor up in december, so try getting down their in december, its worth it,
maybe...
Toronto- December 2012 (Say to your parents it can be one of your xmas presents.. =P)
@TMPRDX and that Xmas presents look really funny to ask for, so thanks for the great Idea and its really nice to know that I've got some surport in my fear :) so thank you VERY much!! and PS: Im part Canadian, so hopefully I'll get rid of my fear quickly enough :P
@emogamer96 I only visit it because i have family around toronto...
theres also an absolutely amazing helicopter ride over niagra falls if you can get there (if you ever visit toronto, i think its like... idk, somewhere around an hour? but niagra falls is worth it, and you get an absolutely awesome like.. store there)
I think if you just like, explore some things, then you'll get over it, if you wanna start small, check out the london eye.
@LThomaaas I'm not dissing you man, I'm just saying. No one is "cut out" for any branch really. I suppose you could consider yourself cut out for a specific MOS, but that doesn't mean any specific branch.
@Ubaldo421 During 2nd W.W. Folgore Brigade in El Alamain battle they by them self did stop the entairy British 8th Army commanded by general Bernard Law Montgomery.Churchill wrote something about it in his war memory....
@Ubaldo421 Opinion. I'm Half Italian myself and so I'm inclined to believe you but at the same time I've been raised in England. So I'm afraid these are teh guys I'm backing as it's their Army and hopefully the parachute regiment that I'm joining (unless it's disbanded by the time I get there...). However about the joking thing; I'm sure these guys don't either when it comes to getting on with the job.
@SR0Penne0Brillo Thank you my friend.Anyway I told (wrote) you the truth. Italian paratrooper fo Folgore Brgade (Brigata Folgore) has a gloroius history.The are really the best of the best.Expecially Folgore Carabinierei Battaglione Tuscania. As you are half italian you'd have to be proud about it.Ofgcourse british parà are very good too.
@Sampson712 its part of their mission, back in the day even the candle makers were sometimes called to fight, im a pilot but i had to be trained as infantry officer first
AIRBORNE from an old paratrooper. I have jumped with SAS and ASAS--some great soldiers! The music you added really should be wrapped tightly in a weighted bag and sent to visit Bin Laden but the video is really great.
As for british officers, the germans described the british army as lions being led by donkeys.Having been there,its still true.The officer core is still class riden.better men are kept from the job because they don`t have the right backgrounds.Our troops are dying because of poor decision making.
@TheArmySheep Yes mate, hill sprints! find a steep enough hill sprint up it, then jog back down. Do atleast 10 in the middle of a run that will get your fitness up quick. Also google fartleck training. Got prac on the 8th november and then depot on 13th november. Best of luck with it, work hard and you will get there forget the pain !
@TheArmySheep too right.train hard and try to be a Greyman.Dont stand out.First I think you will say Why the hell did i join.keep at it,work hard and try to stay injury free.I was a Para in the 60s.Good luck to you.
@pxdfover No you got that mixed up mate.. "If I had British soldiers, no officers and American Technology, I would rule the world!" - Winston Churchill
@locky828 The standard british assult rifle is the SA80, but elite and special forces have a wider variety of weapons, it just depends on the operation.
@locky828 , well one. its not an m4 its a c8 carbine. which are better. us and uk s.f. also use the c8. and 2 there basically s.f. recon forces so they get to pick there own kit. and they use the c8 as they are lighter and have a higher rate of fire i think. they are lighter though. but they do have less range than the sa80 a2 which they can also use
@locky828 The Pathfinders have a choice of what weapons they want to use for whatever operation they are on. They are also trained (like many of the British Forces elite units) to use pretty much every weapon in the world, so a 'western' weapon like an M4 Carbine is probably one of the top weapons they'd train to use.
Actually in a recent appraisal ordered by the British government, an analysis showed that the British military has resigned itself to be tied for second place among most other European nations.
@USN1985dos Thats probably because 80% of British laws are now governed from Brussels.... They couldnt beat us in war, so they did it economically by stealth as you will soon see.
@reddevilparatrooper Seal team 6 is a research and development Group.You maybe already a Seal.They may ask you to join but the course is well above what the normal Seals do.it was guys fro ST6 that slotted that prick Bin Laden in May.Hooyah.
@killerclown789 My M-4 I had in Iraq had an ACOG T31A,Grip pod,TLR2 Battle Light,PAC4 IR laser,and a PVS 14 adapter.It was a half pound heavier than the L85A1.It was heavy on combat patrol especially in August when it got very hot.All that equipment made alot of difference at night and beyond 400 meters on open ground in southern Iraq.
@euan1jones The Pathfinder selection course is open to all Capbadges, as far as I'm aware. You remain badged Grenadier but would wear the Maroon Beret, and parachute training would obviously come through your Pathfinder Continuation stuff.
Another thing that puzzles me is the commando, CQB, mop-up style actions that the troops in the vid are displaying. It would seem to me that the primary purpose of pathfinders is to mark drop zones. So in order not to give the enemy any clues regarding the prospective drop zone, I'd say that stealth should be the pathfinders' credo. That is, they should shy away from pitched battles. Can somebody shed some light on this?

Wait a minute, check 2:03, 2:32, 2:37 etc.... This doesn't look like the SA80 to me. Have the paras converted to the M4 carbine?

@emogamer96 I only visit it because i have family around toronto...
theres also an absolutely amazing helicopter ride over niagra falls if you can get there (if you ever visit toronto, i think its like... idk, somewhere around an hour? but niagra falls is worth it, and you get an absolutely awesome like.. store there)
I think if you just like, explore some things, then you'll get over it, if you wanna start small, check out the london eye.
Takes you mid-high, and gives you a good view.

@Ubaldo421 Opinion. I'm Half Italian myself and so I'm inclined to believe you but at the same time I've been raised in England. So I'm afraid these are teh guys I'm backing as it's their Army and hopefully the parachute regiment that I'm joining (unless it's disbanded by the time I get there...). However about the joking thing; I'm sure these guys don't either when it comes to getting on with the job.

@SR0Penne0Brillo Thank you my friend.Anyway I told (wrote) you the truth. Italian paratrooper fo Folgore Brgade (Brigata Folgore) has a gloroius history.The are really the best of the best.Expecially Folgore Carabinierei Battaglione Tuscania. As you are half italian you'd have to be proud about it.Ofgcourse british parà are very good too.

As for british officers, the germans described the british army as lions being led by donkeys.Having been there,its still true.The officer core is still class riden.better men are kept from the job because they don`t have the right backgrounds.Our troops are dying because of poor decision making.

@locky828 The standard british assult rifle is the SA80, but elite and special forces have a wider variety of weapons, it just depends on the operation.
RPGeeable 3 months ago
@locky828 because the sa80 is a shit and cheap weapon with only 300yards accurate range.
same reason SF dont use it.
1dealsin 3 months ago
@locky828 , well one. its not an m4 its a c8 carbine. which are better. us and uk s.f. also use the c8. and 2 there basically s.f. recon forces so they get to pick there own kit. and they use the c8 as they are lighter and have a higher rate of fire i think. they are lighter though. but they do have less range than the sa80 a2 which they can also use
geod5 2 months ago
@locky828 The Pathfinders have a choice of what weapons they want to use for whatever operation they are on. They are also trained (like many of the British Forces elite units) to use pretty much every weapon in the world, so a 'western' weapon like an M4 Carbine is probably one of the top weapons they'd train to use.

@locky828 Technically its a Diemaco/Colt Canada C7 or C8 rifles. I have no idea why but its a better tool than the SA80.

@reddevilparatrooper The reason they use the M4 over the L85A1/2 is because they are much lighter.
The L85A2 is much more accurate than the M4.

@killerclown789 My M-4 I had in Iraq had an ACOG T31A,Grip pod,TLR2 Battle Light,PAC4 IR laser,and a PVS 14 adapter.It was a half pound heavier than the L85A1.It was heavy on combat patrol especially in August when it got very hot.All that equipment made alot of difference at night and beyond 400 meters on open ground in southern Iraq.
