Grew up in America half Irish half Persian proud of both. Plans to serve in the Irish army ranger wing when I am 18
Good luck my friend in average 18 out of hundred only make it I suppose you know the won the world sniper competition quite a few times now starting in 2015 first country outside the USA to accomplish it
@@Irish780 thank you 🙏. I am aware of the skill their sharp shooters have
The Irish Ranger Wing, just like G-2 are notoriously ultra secretive and hard to join. They only select the very, very best, who are tested against the US, Russian and UK special forces. It is only if you can beat them in competition that they will admit you. The IRW haven't only defeated the US in sniper competitions. It has consistently beaten them in tough military exercises as well as Russia, UK, Poland and Australia.
@@glenng I am aware of the sniper contests the ARW are only the best of the best 😎
You have to join the Irish Defence Forces first and pass military training and then apply for Ranger Wing. There is no direct entry to Ranger Wing.
ah yes Ireland love this mighty little country
And we love you Germany.
Very similar to our army here in NZ
same gun if i am not mistaking too, Aug

You lost the falkland islands to the British. Even though you were defending and outnumbered them 3 to 1. That means your armed forces are rubbish.
@@jimthefinger7391 that means you should shut up because you got beaten up with even worse odds in the irish war of independence

You mean the Irish Army cause we are basically everything lol
Respect from America
Respect to the Irish military. From the UK 👍
🤨
GOD SAVE THE KING! The Irish millinery more than respects the UK's military too. I used to serve Ireland as a soldier and i'll never forget working in the officers mess (the officers bar and relaxation area) there was all memorabilia of Royal Irish this and and Pals and Rangers that, all British army pictures and medals of the 19th century and WWI. They embrace their British Army heritage and history to the extreme. I was taken aback by it, there wasn't one thing there about the OLD original IRA or IRB or the |Irish war of independence, it was all 19th century and WWI British Army stuff. At the time I saw it as being a bit pretentious as the British army is way more than the Irish would be but the way I see it nowadays they just were saluting their own history and saluting the British Military. Again GOD SAVE THE KING!
@@stephenoneill2844 you claim to have served yet constantly refer to the Irish & Irish army in the 3rd person, every Barracks in Ireland is named after an IRA leader & a large Portrait of Michael Collins, IRA chief of staff hangs in every Mess i've been in, the Buttons on our uniforms contain the letters "IV" for Irish volunteer & we all wear the original IRA cap badge, every year we parade & celebrate 1916 at easter. we are very aware & proud of our history & heritage, British soldiers on courses in Ireland suffer our history & politics in much the same way as we suffer theirs, what happened happened, those are not the current conditions. all soldiers have a certain level of respect for other nations soldiers, we have empathy , we share similar struggles. We have served alongside the Brits in Kosovo & Mali, we're all professionals!
@@MrSuileile I "claim to have served"? Do you think I'm lying then?
@@stephenoneill2844 So you served in Norniron? No wonder you are a tad confused! We do not have a king!

I want what your smoking ,go back to sleep Walther Mitty.
could use some defensive tips for my special forces in the u.s.a southern Fontana on duty

Ivory Coast
as an Irish person who is from and living in ireland I can confirm that all of these soldiers were down the pub for scoops before the filming of these clips
They have their own pubs, as in the privates have their own bar in the barracks, a non commissioned officers pub in the barracks and an officers pub in the barracks, plus the drinks in these pubs (mess) are tax free so they get to drink WAY CHEAPER than a normal civilian bar out the town for example.
@@stephenoneill2844:: When I was in the US army, the beer on the base was limited to 3.2% alcohol. You would need more than a few to get a buzz!
As a Former Marine and Soldier ( USMC and US Army, 1987-1998, with 1 Year and 4 Months in the Army National Guard ( ARNG) and US Army Reserve ( USAR) ), I honestly honor and respect the Irish Defense Forces ( IDF, Not to be confused with the Israel Defense Force, the ZAHAL, Zava Ha'Haganah L'Yisrael, Modern Hebrew," Army for the Defense of Israel"), and especially, It's Army Ranger Wing( ARW)!!🇺🇸🇮🇪🪂🤿💣💥🛡️🗡️
Their training actually looks very intense. I guess smaller countries have the luxury to concentrate more money and resources to have better quality troops ,then most other militaries.
Military training that is very well rounded and long. Is better in my opinion then short training just concentrated on killing. Things like teamwork, leadership and thinking well under pressure. Are qualities that are very difficult to teach.
If I were to choose I would probably join either the IDF, the Irish military or the australian military.
They also are oversubscribed, so they can pick the best applicants. Some armies recruit young men with poor school performance, social problems and few options.

Its a good rifle
Go on the Lad's in Green ♥♥♥
God Bless Ireland 🇮🇪
Can't wait to join
When you enlisting?
Our closest neighbours. Always.🇬🇧🇨🇮🏴
Love for Bangladesh
Awesome video!!
Such a good video. I take it IDFs are all about domestic defence and national security? I think with Scottish independence being mostly supported now and pushed for, its interesting to see what functions an independent country military would have, and what they'd do
Leave NATO would be a start..
The main priority of the Defence forces ( not IDF.that’s Israel ) is ATCP duties ( aid to civil power ) ,internal security ,and a lot of United Nations missions ,the role of the Irish soldier is multi functional and can vary from security operations and ceremonial for visiting heads of state to providing assistance to front line medical authorities,ie providing ambulance and crews when required,assistance in search operations being undertaken by our police etc.
Thats Amazing, well i thought Ireland has got a smal Defence Army, wow, thats Irish Blessing. 🇮🇪🍀
Rommel said...give me Irish soldiers and English Officers and I will hold Europe forever
@@IndianTigress98 I heard him saying that in the pub. True Erika))
Irish officers are better than english, watch the siege of jadotville the irish officer there held his trooper together against a force over ten times their size
@@CondeDeBarca That was just one Mickey Mouse operation dude, and besides it is FAR harder to attack a position than it would be to defend a position, to defend it is easy, you just shoot all on comers its like shooting fish in a barrel, where as attacking is a different game altogether. If I were to be forced to fight a holy war then I would hands down go to War under British officers over Irish. I am a former Irish soldier so I have a fair idea what I'm talking about, one time there was a junior female none commissioned officer that was, how can I put this, she was seeing a commandant and then all of a sudden she got a commission (she was made an officer). Now would I prefer her commanding me over a British Army officer? HELL NO!
I’m joining when I am 19-20, so 5-6 years.
Are you 14 aswell?

@@bigjuicypotato1482 I'm from Ireland, my Granda was a Major, I want to take after him. I want to serve my country.
@@urma7713 fair enough. I cant argue with that
Didn't know the Irish use the AUG, kinda looks like they've borrowed a few things from the Austrians
They ugraded the version of AUG they use with a custom modded front section for it if i recall with a rail for various optics and not only the integrated scope. www.military.ie/en/who-we-are/army/weapons/platoon-level-weapons/
We have been using Austrian equipment since pre 1940.
They been using the AUG since early 90's. FN FAL before that. Got all their AUG's for "BUTTER" believe it or not! Ireland had a "butter mountain surplus" in the early 90's because of intense dairy farming here and the Austrian's needed butter so a deal was struck. AUG's for Butter! Not kidding. I served back then. U may find it on gaggle!
@@resistireland694 Lol thats excellent!! they dont inclucde that on the defense website haha
@@seanfitzy2256 LOL Nope! That's on a "need to know basis!" Take care....
love from Irish armi,,and ice from Bangladesh,,
Long live the free state
Amazing what can be done with so little...
🇪🇦🇲🇦🇧🇪🤝🇮🇪
Ireland needs to:
1. Join NATO
2. Get defence spending to 2% GDP
3. Get fighter/attack aircraft and some frigates. Even Belgium has these.
4. Conscription
Imo, Join Nato is no, defence spending to 2% yes, get aircraft yes and Conscription no but we need more recruits. Ireland can't offer NATO anything and in the case of a war Ireland will be dragged into a war we have no chance in
Ireland needs to end the Colonial Partition of their Island Nation. 6-Counties of North East Ireland are occupied , and ruled from London.
Do you think you could do the finish defence force?
Unfortunately not. The Finish Ministry of Defense deleted my last video in 2017.
I served as an Irish soldier under a Finish commander in KOSOVO, we were the Finish Irish Battle group in KFOR.
I have no doubt that these are good , stout hearted , committed soldiers ….from a Brit ..
i searched for irish army combat footage and its said no search results found i wounder why
Try the irish army rangers rescue then
Irish war of independence
Niemba ambush (CONGO)
battle of the tunnel (CONGO)
Siege of Jadotville (CONGO)
Battle of At Tiri (Lebanon)
That's just off the top of my head,where exactly did you search?
Because they concentrate purely on defence, they aren't looking to invade the Iraqis or the Afghans Mickey, and on the subject where did that get your country? NOWHERE! You see Mick up there for thinking, down there for dancing!
Can you make New video of Mexican armed forces 2020?
What's the ammo type @2:15? The casings look like they have bullets, but the bullets look crimped. Blanks?
Okay turns out they're called profiled blanks, as opposed to just crimping the casing with no bullet-shape. Seems that a lot of guns will jam if the blanks don't have a bullet-shape/taper. The more you know
Tbh, this should be the advert for idf
Awesome.👌👌
What is this music?
Have a look at the end of the video. There’s a list of all songs.
@@TheMarine thanks 👍👍
Respect, Looks Impressive but how do I feell less safe In Ireland today than 15-20 years ago? Aldi here is like an Airport, Till No.4 Looks like the last plane to Basrah ??? So alot slipped through the Defence Forces Net? Or they are waiting for that moment when the first Non Irish -British Bomb related attack happens here. ???
Can you do again a Belgian armed forces again
Yeah, of course I can. I will put it on my list.

Thank you British guy
Remember your Irish language!!!!!!!
Imagine World War III
Irish army ? You having a laugh mate! Remind me, how many wars have you have you been in ? 😆 😆
We've spent most of our time forcing the British out, so at least 1
You know I've received certain certifications and in many ways ide hate to think that my future work is actually being generated by careful engineering to a society, as ide be rather angry. Certain already existing specialists can't be that stupid that their oblivious to foreseeing something.
Danish armed forces 2020?:)
O_O woah
looks like the canadian forces
it's obviously not
Ireland, based Government, Great bear, hot women
these are true facts
Cool video. But with the way the world is headed you might want to consider F-35's, missile frigates, and more than 9,000 troops.... or your great grandchildren might be speaking Chinese or Russian. LOL
we've been pushing for larger defence spending, we can definitely afford it, but our government takes our neutrality as an excuse for not investing in military and military infrastructure
You are clearly an American.
Do whats best for god u and ur country before u join a nato is it best my grandma Ireland hertiage i miss grandma the doctors or actolually a nurse killled her second treatment. Overdose on vaginal cancer zapped her w a cnster grandma new something bad was going to happen memmories back then last wprds just sleeping like in bible. Dont jopin nato if it keeps u safier and more powerful protect ur own but dont forget us like me.
Watch the siege of Jadoville all you detractors.
Whats thats irish military?
@@bigjuicypotato1482 is that your professional opinion? What age are you?
So are we just gonna forget the joined Axis in world war 2?
Ireland were neutral during world war two.
What? Where in gods name did you get that bullshit from
The Irish Armed forces are without doubt one of the poorest equipped and manned armies in the world. Utterly crap.
Tell me, how did your country get on in Afghanistan? Being the one of the best equipped and manned armies and all!
@@stephenoneill2844 Stephen, the Brits never lost one, one on one engagement in Afghanistan. Ireland would be lucky if you could defend yourself from an invasion of the Boy Scouts. Your government has left you totally dependent on the UK if you were ever in need. You have no fighter aircraft, no complex naval ships, not one main battle tank. Not even a defensive radar system.
And I can guarantee you, Ireland wouldn't have lost a one on one in Afghanistan either. They are purely a defence force and don't have to worry about being invaded up or down. Who is going to invade Ireland John? You are our only neighbour, and no offence my British friend but the last time there was any kind of a conflict between Ireland and Britain Ireland didn't do too badly. A group of peasants and farmers brought the might of the British Empire to its knees. Fair enough they didn't get the North but thats a dirty Orange hole anyway. If you put it into context what if California wanted to leave the USA by way of use of arms? Lol good luck with that one. But this is more or less what Ireland achieved, with no complex naval ships or a defensive radar system. Look i am not trying to crap on my British Brothers but it is what it is. I know guys that left the Irish Army and went North of the border and joined up, one guy is a sniper in a Royal Marine Commando's. Irish Soldiers are great its just down South they are PURELY a defence force. And don't worry John if anyone tries to invade Ireland they are going to suffer. Ireland will hold its own. Who is going to invade? Russia? Not happening. The UK? Never going to happen. So why be paranoid and spend Billions on something that isn't going to come about? NATO, well Ireland isn't part of NATO and recent events have exposed Russia as being the most Mickey Mouse force in Europe so all of your budgets for all of these years was all for NOTHING! I'll finish by saying that me personally, I'm an Anglophile, GOD SAVE THE KING!
@@stephenoneill2844 a full answer if a bit angry. You guys all sleep in your beds safely due to other nations spending at least 2% of their GDP on the first duty of any state. Protecting its citizens. I wonder how your argument would work in Ukraine. I’m an old guy now, 58 years old but for 28 years I served in every shit hole that the British military ever was involved in. I started as an 18 year old in Belfast then Bosnia, then Gulf War 1, then Gulf War 2. I’ve been around.
@@johnkelly9160 Well OK, we will use Ukraine as a yardstick then. The World didn't allow Ukraine to fall in the face of an invasion, and IMO Ukraine won't fall. Again, who is going to invade Ireland? NO ONE John, that's my point. So why spend all of that money/budget on something that isn't going to happen? You guys are in NATO, why spend on that budget every single year for the Mickey Mouse Russians that can't even handle Ukraine? Never mind the might of NATO, they wouldn't stand a chance! so again why this huge budget on "battle tanks" and so on. And for the record all of Russia's tanks are being taken out by javelins so a javelin automatically neutralises the threat of a tank, and I can tell you first hand that Ireland he many a Javelin.
Wow Sir you sure have been around for sure. Iraq twice? OMG you must have had a great rank then? For the record I was in KOSOVO when I was in the Irish Army, you mentioned Bosnia is the only reason I am sharing this.
Cant take this military seriously I live in Ireland and the British do everything they fight and protect us the Irish just put on a show
Put down the union jack there salty lad. Why u even here watching?
