How Heckler & Koch transformed unreliable L85A1 assault rifle into a battle-winner
With the experiences of the Gulf War to draw on, Heckler & Koch managed to turn the unreliable L85 into a fully functional assault rifle, but the update from L85A1 to A2 was not the end of the story.
In 2018, the A3 variant was rolled out, introducing a new raft of features that offered some real quality of life enhancements.
HK's second update package featured a modification to the body of the rifle, including a welded full-length rail for optional add-on kit such as a vertical foregrip, laser, infrared designator or torch.

Five key areas Russian forces have adapted ahead of expected summer offensive in Ukraine
Переглядів 2,5 тис.17 годин тому
Russian forces in Ukraine are continuing to make small territorial gains along the eastern front as Kyiv waits for new supplies of US military aid. On his Telegram account, Ukraine's commander-in-chief gave a sobering assessment, stating the situation had worsened and his forces were under attack across the frontline. The Russian military remains tactically poor, but it is proving to be adaptab...
How Heckler & Koch transformed unreliable L85A1 assault rifle into a battle-winner

A firing pin with a tip that tended to break off, a system that failed to fully extract and eject a spent cartridge case, causing a stoppage, a poorly designed magazine release catch that could cause a mag to fall to the ground unintentionally and a butt pad that broke apart. These were just some of the problems with the L85A1, the UK's then-new assault rifle. Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of firea...

How a US Sherman tank became a poignant memorial for D-Day training tragedy
Переглядів 27 тис.23 години тому
Dean Small is the son of Ken Small, who in the 1980s discovered an American Sherman tank that since 1944 had been lying on the seabed, about three-quarters of a mile away from Slapton Sands. To honour all who died during Exercise Tiger, Ken Small turned the tank into a memorial which is still visited today.

How the top secret D-Day rehearsal Exercise Tiger went tragically wrong
Переглядів 13 тис.23 години тому
In the early hours of 28 April 1944, 30,000 American service personnel were preparing to take part in a rehearsal for the Normandy Landings. Slapton Sands in Devon was chosen as the landing area for Exercise Tiger as it closely resembled Utah beach, having a shingle beach. But the mock landing was marred by real gunfire - and a very real enemy - that led to the deaths of hundreds of American so...

Ukraine 'forced to withdraw US-supplied Abrams from frontline' as losses mount
Переглядів 81 тис.День тому
Ukraine is reportedly withdrawing its American-supplied Abrams tanks from the frontline because so many are being lost to Russian drone attacks. Around a sixth of all the Abrams tanks that have been supplied have already been destroyed, according to US media. Forces News has taken a closer look at this reported withdrawal and what we know about the success of the vehicle. More: www.forces.net/t...
The PM's defence spending spree - what's it really worth? | Sitrep podcast

Rishi Sunak has pledged tens of billions of pounds to spend 2.5% of GDP on defence by 2030, but how much will it improve our military capability? Professor Michael Clarke explains why the extra cash will probably be used to firm up our forces rather than making them bigger, and we fact check how much of the £75bn figure given by the Prime Minister is actually new money. Months after US military...

Sandhurst's epic 44 week course is legendary. In the US it takes 4 years to train an officer, in France 3 yeara. British officer do it in a fraction of the time, and they don't even need a degree, they're that good.
These people are bots. Probably russkies.

Respekt 👍
Truth is much worse than this. Ukraine has been in a desperate state since mid 2022. But US wants to fight to the last Ukrainian.
Deja vu, huh.
❤👍
Well done mate ❤
An accurate and sobering assessment. With the Russia war machine strengthening every day, does the West really think that Russia might stop at Ukraine? If Putin wins in Ukraine, his new military machine will push onwards throughout all of Eastern Europe and perhaps beyond. European leaders must wake up and realise that Russia is at war with us. All of us.
Hated it then, hate it now. As heavy as an SLR but not as effective, and not reliable like the SLR, not as compact or portable as an SMG
The lies in this video is shocking
Imho Steve Illingsworth 2 Para should have been awarded the V.C. also...
Why is the average Ukrainian soldiers age 40+?
Coz they want to preserve their youth.
lots of ex-civilians i guess
The government want to conserve the younger generation to rebuild the country after the war - IF there is anything to rebuild or if they win the war, that's remain to be seen.
@nemokat09 that's hilarious 😂
This analysis has errors because it takes RuZZian propaganda at face value. They're absolutely NOT able to replenish battlefield tank losses, they're refurbishing old tanks from USSR stockpiles. Another year, those vast storages will be getting low.
I used to be in the Royal Anglians i do miss it sometimes.
Russia has lost more troops than we have in our armed forces and is still replenishing loses faster than nato combined. Russia has an economy the size of italy. Think about that folks and how vulnerable our politicians and MOD have us.
snigger - you have been drinking the coolaid. 500k Ukrainians dead (probably includes several hundred permanent if temp suspended Nato soldiers). 50K Russian Wake up - Ukrainians have been dieing at a 10:1 rate or more since about the first 3 months. 70% die in this type of attrition warfare from Artillery, and Russia fires 10x the shells Ukraine does and has from the start.
I remember the day they took away my SLR and handed me the new rifle. I absolutely hated it from the start...
Give me a break. Russia almost took over Ukraine in a few days. The probability that Ukraine will get back to normal is near zero, a DMZ at best. What this war caused is switching Russia and China into a full scale war mode long term which will result in total destabilization or takeover of Europe in the next decade even without China taking over Taiwan. The moment any bigger economic crisis happens in the West will be the end for Ukraine and a huge hit for neighboring nations.
How did they get so much wrong on an army rifle?
Where is the documentation that russia produce 100 tanks a month
Just accept it like the rest of the sheep 😂
New and refurbished.
Military intelligence - satellite imagery of factories making the tanks; satellite imagery of tanks being transported along railway lines; information from people on the ground in Russia; video footage from Russian news channels or any leaked sources etc. We will have people in the Ministry of Defence trying to understand what Russia's capabilities are - it's very valuable information, so we try hard to collect and corroborate intelligence.
Little Englanders already done that but Americans are at least honest to admit and rotten Britons did not. What happened with Challenger 2 tanks, any one seen any yet, apart that one blown up by Russians couple of months ago. Russians says that is only "item" that missing from their Moscow "exhibition".
Israel must be green with envy.
Did they ever address the magazine release, lots of times if you was running you would naturally pull the weapon into you, and more often than not when you brought the weapon up to your shoulder, there would be no magazine!
