      Australia is one of the richest countries in the world, it can and doesn’t allow it. For boats and destroyers, it will definitely outperform our Pacific Fleet in the long run. And so the Queen orders to operate from Iraq to Afghanistan, then the expeditionary units are prepared at the level of No.! worse than the British MP. This is such a standard, but we will never achieve it (for example, at the level of the Russian Federation-Kyrgyzstan). Therefore, it remains to maliciously cooperate strongly against the background of our consistently strong failures

          And you not only study the diapers of the British infantry, but also the real operations and how many armies have fought and are ready for war according to their tables and canons. It was according to the English standard that an attack was carried out from the sea to the continent during the 2nd World War. Italy is forgotten by detractors, and how many TDs and AKs of the Wehrmacht? That's it. And when the Allies groped and carried out the invasion, then even TA could not interfere with the plans. So what is the dispute about ...? British army cowards? Together with the Canadian and OST-Indians groups of MP, the British captured the chopped beach and continued to advance the expansion of the bridgehead. Thanks to the good support from the air and trained infantry units on the bridgehead. Even the German theorists of the 1st World designated training English infantry. Chronicles of this war confirm that the personal training of Canadians, the British or the Scottish people did not question the main principle of this preparation. It is there, but I won’t tell you, so you would have lied about the angels and exalted yourself beloved . Well, be in that condition.

            in Africa, supply problems rather than infantry were more likely to defeat, and even the infantry, to put it mildly, beat
            Yes, and the landing and what preceded it (if you're interested, look about the rehearsal of that landing) let's say it wasn’t perfect, but about the dunkirk and everything that came before, and in general the standard

            What to study? Monte Cassino? Landing against minor parts of the Wehrmacht, while the main grind the Red Army? You re-read fiction on a campaign .. Learn better the landing operation of the RKF MP in Japan ..

        Ten frigates armed with harpoons and six diesel-electric submarines are somehow fluid against the Russian Pacific Fleet.

        1.) Firstly, they have launched a rearmament program on boats and surface ships. \ ---- We consider commissioning and withdrawal of ours.
        Pollux, I never considered the Australian fleet a separate unit. Just as here the forum does not consider the division of Korean or German howitzers (Lithuania) as a serious threat to the Russian territory, so I do not believe that the Australians will act according to their own plan. if they act in line with the American poglity (which is bigger than likely), then the power of the Australian fleet can easily be added to the yaw of the Americans or the Japanese. So the newest destroyers of the Australian Navy can be an innovation for the enemy as well as the expeditionary infantry groups on the fronts of world war. Voot, what I mean, and not glorify Australia!)))

          Okay, it’s okay and yet Australia is funded not without reason by such serious Navy (coast guard), there is clearly serious air defense there for a long time and the most modern ..

    We cannot launch a series of guards in the Far East, we are repairing submarines for 5-7 years. Again BMP-1 is equipped with a Berezhok.
    And we laugh at Lithuania and Australia.
    Where are our frigates in a series of 8 pieces?
