The fact is that,no one "really" knows how much firepower everyone has.
The Nazis had four times the amount of planes and we still seen them off
they didn't have 4 times the amount of planes though
@@guguss3804 over three thousand compared to eight hundred, so almost four times
@@justme1111 and where do you get that info from ? Cause i'm pretty sure the numbers were much much closer than that : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain
@@guguss3804 most documentaries on the battle of Britain have it as between 2200 and 3500 and the British never more than 800 so as many people will tell you, don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia. It's probably not too far off on the Luftwaffe but the RAF only had less than half that number available at the time of the Battle of Britain. The RAF did expand rapidly after the Battle of Britain and maybe that's the number shown on Wikipedia but that was not so at the time of the Battle.
@@justme1111 As you can read on wikipedia, the battle lasted 3 months and 3 weeks and the UK was producing 300 fighters a week, in fact outproducung Germany in that area. Soe ven though the UK might have started with 800 fighters, it certainly was not fighting 1v4 for the whole battle. And your last message said germans had 8k planes and now you talk about 2.2k to 3.5k (which probably also includes bombers btw) so you have to make up your mind on this one.
Rule Britannia, Britannia, rule the waves
Britons never, never, shall be slaves!
Some of these comments are very very peurile. I would rather have allies than enemies. Combined we would be formidable, as long as the Generals concentrate on the job on and hand work together.
If you ever want to make a video on French military capabilities, I advise you "how france fought a lightning war in mali". This shows France's ability to intervene against threats.

@@DezzReacts 4:55 the guy literally just said the euro typhoon is better than the Rafale 💀 when it's not
Our navy is been upgraded. We have new sub's getting built. We've just finished the second carrier. When in the EU we was having shared fleets, we supplied the carrier and France supplied aircraft, we're not in EU now so we're stocking the carrier's ourselves but behind now with aircraft.
But french carrier is nuclear powered not the british one
@@yanisgyd6084 and is always needing repairs. British ships can dock anywhere whilst french nuclear carrier can't. Britian would destroy France.
I Just Remember when French rafales took out the UK Eurofighter at an exercice of dogfight like 6 to 1 🥰 English people only talk and hope for taking back their empire. But now they are not respected as before in diplomacy and their are not sufficient in their technology and army (they are independent from US), they have two shitty AC than can’t fucking even take the sea because they have not the F35 to go in and they have not yet their Ship to protect the AC. They have to wait at least 2026-2028 hoping to have a AC available 💀 France has a lot more combat experienced and a lot more new tech and new vehicles
Ignore all the jingoism. I worked on a detachment at the French Naval Air Service at Landivisiau in Brittany and they were actually pretty good.
The problem with this scenario is it actually neutralises the main area where UK is better equipped. That is long range force projection. This is neutralised because the two countries are neighbours.
"long range force projection" lol I don't think so. You should check out about French missions overseas.
My money would still be on the British numbers have meant little to the Brits throughout history, war is what their good at and quickly expanding military forces when needed has also been a bit strength
Micheal shurkin one of the best military analyst from US i quote « French general are more qualified and intelligent than the US one, they can do a lot with a lot less, they think differently than any other military »
« In terms of technology, french is in advance compare of a majority NATO country and her doctrine has prooved herself superior at many level compare to other Nato country »
« The only problem is the number of shell, missiles, vehicles… » « The french army will behaviour strongly and undefeated during a short period, after what their ammunition in general will come to an end »
But for the last point UK and FR share the same problem in their ammo stock and vehicles.
I think truly even with last few war, France is superior in terms of doctrines and combat experienced than UK is. UK suffer now more than France in terms of budget. New AC can’t even take the sea before 2025-26 at least and be efficient, without speaking not be nuclear power (Aircraft Carrier). Her Navy is not what she used to be anymore
@@thelemega9476 yes but Britain will fight to win and won't stop until they have. as for budgets and ammunition, here in the UK every single factory would turn in to an ammunitions factory or to build planes, boats, tanks and whatever else we need. So, I wouldn't look at what we have right now I would look at the fact that the British don't do losing when it comes to war (yes, I am aware we have lost a couple), even if it takes hundreds of years like with the Vikings we wouldn't stop until we are victorious. However, I do (above anybody else) respect the French when it comes to wars of old the French are probably only second to Britain in their success in fact the French have won more individual battles than any other nation in history
@@justme1111 but all your points are the same for France it’s not a valid argument. Factory would run here too but Uk and Fr can’t support any long war anyway so both country are totally equal on this. Still i think France have a technology and doctrine/experience superiority. After all, the War school who train Hight rank officer around the globe including UK and US is in Paris in France. Not a single country can say that they have single handedly made a war alone in Africa without a coalition and had a military success (Lybia - Mali).
@@thelemega9476 I just don't agree I think Britain would win as soon as things get too difficult the white flags would come out the British just wouldn't stop until they win France wouldn't stop until it becomes too difficult
@@justme1111 still coming out with that old nonsense about cowardly French I see , we Brits need to drop this xenophobia crap. Remember that all our Mediaeval history was on the backs of Norman and later Angeline kings and troops. The French resistance was heroic in the 2nd war etc etc oh and there’s Napoleon finally beaten by a European army led by Wellington and beaten until a Prussian army came to his assistance.
Good video 👍🇬🇧
We now have updated Submarines that are being built plus we have updated our Apaches to the E version making for longer detection and fire systems, we also now have Rivot Joint which is is more capable the AWACS E3. And we have Terranis Stealth Drones as well the new up coming 6th Gen stealth in partnership with Japan, Sweden and Italy. Also, us British are born from a Warrior Nation and we have the ability to rebuild our Forces very quickly. We may also lend our Nukes from the US however we do have the capability to build our own. So it would be interesting as we are rebuilding our Military we also have coming into the play the new Challenger 3 tank however, I do hear that’s been plagued a with tech issues, so the jury is still out on that one.
We Brits pop our heads over the parrpit. For the last thousand years. And had a few scraps with the French. Band of brothers.
Oh my god, a war between England and France, what a stupid hypothesis! Since the Entente Cordiale (first E.C at the Chateau d'Eu, Normandy 1843-1845, - and let's not forget that, on paper, the Queen is Duchess of Normandy, De Gaulle has always insisted on observing the rites of his rank during its official visits - then the Entente Cordiale was definitively reaffirmed in 1904). In short, since the fall of Napoleon, England and France have always fought side by side, already during the Crimean War. And the aid provided by England to the French Resistance was enormous, crucial. Let us not forget that Churchill had even proposed merging the two nationalities into one during the duration of the war. Far from opposing each other, the two armies are completely complementary in NATO plans and even in bilateral agreements. So, the Hundred Years' War ended quite a long time ago, I think^^. We were even together in Libya (a mistake in my opinion), not to mention the Suez attempt a few years ago. SAS and les nageurs de combat train together. The first naval infantry parachute regiment bears the same motto "Who dares wins", because the French unit was formed in Scotland barely 6 months after the creation of the SAS. Ask an SAS officer, they are the only ones they recognise as their equals. So please, stop talking about a war between England and France... It's stupid.
A British officer will listen to his troops anytime when they have a plan on the battlefield. The French then just listen to the officer.
Rafale+exocet on gagne easy 😅🇨🇵
I never understood why american have such a lack of knowledge about everything : geography ? nope ! // awareness of their environment ? Nope ! // thinking they are better in everything when it's not most of the time ? (for instance when they consider the F35 being superior O_O" or Thinking only british and Us have SAS => we have SAS + plenty other elite forces dedicated to various geographics, scenarios etc. such like French SAS of course (RPIMA), parachute dragoon regiments (RDP), Special Forces Helicopter Regiment (RHFS), Commando marines (FORFUSCO), Air and Space Force Special Forces Brigade (BFSA) all being grouped under the SOC "Special Operations Command".
At the start of WW2 the French had the most powerful military in Europe. From start to finish the German invasion took six and a half weeks.
Us Brits would have done it over the weekend and been home in time for tea. 🤪🤪
Luckily we had some skills and came back for them, bringing our US friends with us. The arrogance of a French person does make me wonder if we should have just extended West Germany a bit after the war. That’s why we’d win against the French…firstly because that’s what we do in wars, not surrender, and secondly because we are intelligent with how to use our resources whether or not they are more or less than the enemy. The funny part is that while the EU thinks they’re so powerful especially because of the Germans…who’s got you by the Balls? (like Donald Trump said btw) oh yeah, that’s right Russia can cut through the heart of the EU by turning off the Gas. So compare the entire EU military to Russia and yet you can’t do anything to them and you know it. As Churchill phrased it…I like Corkscrew thinkers, because Hitler thinks in a straight line. Also the Raphaellealasel aircraft or whatever it’s called doesn’t beat out a Eurofighter Typhoon, F-35’s or both combined. Bless the French eh…thinking they have some balls 😂
@@ClassicRiki another ignoramus who doesn't know what he's talking about 😮💨
@@shaunwild8797 It's funny that you say that, because you brits were with us at the beginning of the war, you were with us, and you got a big slap in the face too. The difference is that you fled on your island when the French and Belgians wanted to launch a counter attack.
Your "Miracle of Dunkirk" would not have worked without the sacrifices of the French soldiers who held back the Germans while you made sand castles waiting to be transported to safety on your island. "The British fight to the last Frenchman".
And just afterwards, to keep the morale of the troops up, your propaganda went on about "The French don't want to fight" when there were more deaths in the Battle of France on both the Allied and Axis sides than in the invasion of Normandy.
In spite of all this, even today joke don't stop, like the other jerk who answered earlier.
Why have enemy when we have friends like you.
Not too sad that today France is ahead of you in military and even maritime power? That the Empire under which the sun never sets is France because it has the largest EEZ in the world? That it is not dependent on the USA for most of its equipment and nuclear power like you ?
That the motto of your monarchy is always from "Dieu et mon droit", a French phrase, and that your anthem comes out of French music to mock the King of the time who was going to have an operation for an anal fistula?
But go ahead, keep on laughing on us, licking the UK/US propaganda (since we didn't want to follow them in their magnificent operation in Iraq) some people know very well who you really are.
@@ClassicRiki Yeah you didn't have to surrender because your army fled toward the English channel back to your island nation. You didn't surrender because you could retreat safely through the sea, something you are very used to and good at historically.
Over the last three decades since the end of the cold War, successive British governments had kept reducing the size of the UK military.
Obviously it saves money, but a big part of the equation was that as part of the EU, there was an integrated armed forces, with each country supplying a particular focus.
The British military have not upgraded their systems where it was expected that other EU member states would provide that capability.
So, the UK armed forces were lagging behind the ideal situation.
Since the UK left the EU, there has been a steady upgrading of the military, but it's not an instant process.
The goal of fighter aircraft (F35) is nearly 200, but this will take several years to achieve.
Similarly replacing the tank force with the new Challenger 3 tank will be a slow process, although light armour upgrades are progressing quickly
Every year, we have a significant upgrade in capability.
I'm actually amazed that the UK military compares so well on paper to the French. It's reassuring that as capabilities improve year on year, we will soon have some realistic armed formations.
By the way, don't underestimate the French special forces. Whilst they don't have a single unit like the British SAS, they do have several small sub-units that are embedded in the normal forces that are close to the standard of the SAS.
Nous avons gagné la guerre de 100ans et bien d'autres y compris en vous aidant à acquérir votre indépendance contre les britanniques!
La France est le pays le plus victorieux du monde!
There has been conflict between the British and the French from the 10th/11th century until the early 1800's. During that time that conflict broke out into all-out war several times. The British often won the battles and at one point controlled more of France than the French King did, but due to either not enough manpower to hold the ground won or one or two of the later English kings not being of the right stuff we shall say. Also, the war of the roses one of Britain's many civil wars allowed the French the chance to regain lost territory. Having said that the British and French were mostly equal in quality of troops, but both suffered from week or bad leadership at one time or another.
Actually would want a historian to chip in on this.
I would not be surprised by every time one country had the upper hand it was because the other country had a weak or foolish leader.
When the english kings had territory in France, the kings were...french.
When the english kings had territory in France, the kings were...french
@@lazicmudefabb5580 correct that was part of the reason for the conflict as the French king saw the English king as his Vassel because of their French holdings, and the English kings claimed the French throne through their relationships with the French royal line. they were both partially right, but both their claims were at best tenuous.

Liveth For Evermore channel got some amazing and well made vids not just that one
UK. ALL DAY. look what we did to the German's we had less plans then. We BUILT DIFFERENT
The subs do have missiles but it's not a good idea to use them as they are nucelar.
They do have torpedo's but they are slow and you have to be kind of close.
The UK has no nucelar missiles silos in the UK they just put subs at locations all over the world so they could reach any enemy quicker.
The UK has one of the stictist civilian gubblaws in the world, you can get a shotgun certificate and that's not so hard to get but you need a safe bolted to your floor and it means you can own a shotgun without a rifled barrel or rifled choke most get double barrel shotguns but you can get a pump or semi but it can only hold 2 in the tube and you can't buy number 4 shot or bigger (you can't buy buckshot or slugs as in the ammo you would use to shoot humans but you could open the shell and put your own buckshot or slugs in)
With a firearms certificate it's even more fun you have to get a doctor's note, have a phyc evaluation, a meeting with the head of your local armed police.
You have to be part of a rifle club for at least a year then you have to have 2 thick safes and an expensive home alarm system.
When you get your FAC it's best to ask for 2 of every vcaliber you would ever want and they give you a limit of ammunition per caliber.
.22lr semi auto rifles are legal like a ruger 10/200
Apart from that caliber you can't have a semi auto rifle but you can own bolt action, lever action ,straight pull，millitary rifles with the semi gas hope welded shut so you have to cock it for each shot.
I don't know why but pump action rifles are banned.
You can own cap and ball (muzzle loading revolvers) but apart from that all pistols are illigal.
We have no caliber limits so some have tank guns.
Not many people in the UK own firearms and if you ask a person on the street they would have no idea.
Also in the UK you can't buy primers or powder and they are even thinking of banning brass and bullets, also any useful gun parts you need a permit for.
Plenty of illigal guns from eastern Europe are in the UK, they banned guns now people just stab each other to death.
In Northern Ireland if your ex army or police you can conceal carry but it's for cases where you are at risk of being killed by the IRA.
But islands like gurnsy and Jersey have different laws and with a simple certificate you can own any non machine gun.
In France anyone can buy a Italian replica of a cap and ball revolver, you can get a permit and own whatever pistols or rifles you like, in the past France had a ban on civilians using millitary calibers so they had some strange guns converted to get around this law but now millitary calibers are allowed.
No one in France or the UK can conceal carry.
When I got my US citizenship I just went crazy buying firearms, AK parts kits and building them myself with my uncle, getting a conceal carry permit.
AKs are my favorate as they are so fun to shoot and the ammo well it was cheap.
I have been in the UK for a few years as my father passed away so I'm dealing with his businesses.
Although I realy miss my guns in the US (I have some shotguns and rifles in the UK but COVID has closed most ranges)
This is the first time I have spent more than 4 or so months in the UK since I was 18 as 18 onwards I lived in East Asian nations, lived in the US for 2 years (American girls love the British accent and vice versa with British girls)
Can't wait for this COVID crap to be over so I can go back to Japan or China as the UK is too cold and boring for me.
I spend a part of one winter in Albany,NY and the snow was up to my waist it was -30 cellcius but it still felt warmer than a humid UK winter at 4 or so.
What surprised me so much about the US was the insane cost of medical insurance and medical care.
one thing i will say, many countries have had these thoughts over the years, argentina being one, and looks where its got them. we made the largest empire the world has seen on 82,000 soldiers :)
god save the queen

This is a bit like a game of military leap frog? This is around a year old and already out of date, as the UK armed forces have updated and expanded since this was made. At least when it comes to the modernisation of equipment. EG: We're supposed to have at least 74 F35B's by 2025 and 138 eventually??? Give it another five or ten years and it may change again? Also, you can't really compare them, as members of NATO they tend to be geared up to complement each other not compete, therefore we will be stronger in one area and vice versa.
I read that they were not going ahead with the upper number because they wanted to have funds for Tempest instead.
@@jpw6893 I so hope that's right but I'll believe it when it happens? I came out out of the RAF after twenty odd years as an engineer in the mid-nineties and up until then, everything I worked on was either designed before I was born or was a compromise? So as an eternal cynic, I expect it to happen again. Unless we can find partners? I expect us to eventually buy the successor to the F22 and put British engines, seats and avionics in it. Cheaper in the end, and another compromise!

French strategies are also way stronger then any other countries strat
The English/British have a very long history with France, with invasions on both sides of the channel & many battles over the centuries. Mostly however Britain has beaten France & many times throughout history. Hence the tongue in cheek attitude/sense of humour. The fact that the UK helped France regain its freedom in wwii also adds to that attitude. It is a friendly dig at France & if France had won over the British instead so many times, the British would have got & expected the same attitude from the french. Its a British/French thing going back centuries.
Loose me when i see F-35 (excellent) and Rafale (very good)... it's so inaccurate. The Rafale wins all the compétitions so far from more 15 years, in fact the two only advantages from buying a f-35 is by contract you can have access to a usa nuclear weapons, and the seecond is "buy my guns or you don't stay my allies" policy from usa.
Complete tosh ! Not knocking the French to much, but this assessment goes on numbers only, not strength. So France has slightly more ships, the British has the Astute class attack submarine. She can watch ships leaving New York while still docked at Portsmouth, she can stay submerged and circle the globe, and even the American Navy had to have an enquiry when she owned their latest submarine's in a simulation. She would be eating grilled Barracuda for breakfast.
The T45 air superiority destroyer is possibly currently the best in the world at taking out attacking aircraft, that's what she was built for ( we learn'd from the Falklands campaign). In a French / British conflict you could leave one tied up at the jetty in Portsmouth, and she could down any enemy aircraft within 160 miles, just keep feeding her the missiles.
Armies matter not, cause neither nation is going to be daft enough to try crossing the channel. Truth is, which ever nation try's to be the aggressor, will be spanked by the other. That's why we stopped doing things like this !
We haven't SAS but we have the foreign legion😎

React to Al Murray ;) Historian/comedian
The 21 f 21 fighters would win thier difference thier stealth planes the idea in nato is these would fly ahead undetected act as an offensive/recon wiping out surface to air defences and radar undetected then relay information back to the euro fighters to hit threatening long range ballistic and other targets the French would struggle vs surface to air defensive on britain main land without stealth
It would be like the Ukrainians against Russia, It's not the size of the dog in the fight It's the size of the fight in the dog's.And fighting the French is what an Englishman is bred for.Dont worry your little Russian heart out.
this just so unexpected
got to keep yall on your toes!
I don't know where he got his info but they are completely outdated.
Yes, the UK can use US satellites because they are useless to the USA without the ground stations in UK.
Yeah, right, totally unrealistic scenario given that a full 17% of USAF assets are based in the UK on RAF bases - and a far greater proportion of the USA's own anti-ballistic missiles and intelligence gathering assets. If the French attack those bases they have also attacked the United States.
Of course the two don't have matching equipment ... this whole asinine video misses the whole point of the Entente Cordiale being that we compliment each other and each play to our strengths .... hence that our combined three aircraft carriers are at the disposal of both nations .... hence for example why the British army and airforce have Chinooks and they provide lift capacity for France which has none, such as right now in Mali where British Chinooks, complete with British crews and ground support, are embedded with the French army.
We've been outnumbered before.
Like the french
Didn’t 100 British Marines beat 1500 US troops in a war drill ? I’m pretty sure we’d be able to dominate the French if we could do that to a superior force
No, it wasn’t 100 vs 1200 teams - and in fact it wasn’t just the royal marines, they combined with the Us army, Canada, UAE and Netherlands. So it was the US Marines vs all of them.
Germany tried it. France wouldn't be able to either. UK is a fortress and the more you hurt them the stronger they become.
i doubt that
This was the case in the days of men on horseback, swords, bow etc...
Now that everyone has missiles that can cross continents, being on an island doesn't make much difference
The major battles against the French are legendary Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt against all odds to name a few including naval engagements against combined French and Spanish fleets. In the Peninsular war one of Napoleon`s ablest commanders Marshal Soult said..There is no beating these British soldiers they were completely beaten and the day was mine, but they did not know it and would not run. The first world war saw the French on the brink of collapse by 1916 which saw the British bail them out to the tune of £2m a day for the next two years a colossal sum at the time. The second world war saw them "fight" for an afternoon before calling it a day. France was practically unscathed in 1940 look at Paris while Britain was pummelled most major cities. It`s not always about numbers it`s about balls.
You can't beat the brits they're made in and shaped from bloody war for thousands of years, they would fight to the last man.
You are just cherry picking a few battles, the opposite is also true. And in terms of "balls" until WW2 the French army had a way better reputation than the British one on that lol. The British were never known as great combatants and they often ran away by sea, it was in fact their speciality. And it's easier to fight when you are relatively safe accross the ocean and rule the waves.
@@shakya00 I see the circus has tuned up
The English won most of the skirmishes during the hundred years wars against overwhelming odds. The cost of the war made it almost impossible for the English to keep an overseas army in the field. The confidence of the French cost them dear as time after time they underestimted the English lowbowmen. In later years they got there arses slapped time after time as late as Waterloo. They actually saved them in both the first and second world war which would make you think they`d be grateful for but they hatred is overwhelming. This is obviously down to their inferiority complex which they hold to this day.
@@brianshockledge3241 What does "tuned up" mean ?
Unfortunately, the video is really not perfect and a lot of details overestimate the British, and underestimate the French. (F-35 aren’t better than the Rafale, even less efficient - The French carrier is a nuclear one - French main battle tank Leclerc is far more efficient than the British one)
Thus, France not only has more equipment, but it is also much more advanced.
And as history shows, France won the most victories, especially against the United Kingdom (and yet, at that time, the United Kingdom was more powerful than France).
Also, in terms of France quickly capitulating to Germany, not only was it just a minority, but France split with a side that continued to fight. Without forgetting that a century before, France made Germany (then Prussia) capitulate even more quickly (1 month).
So this idea has absolutely no research interest…
We will not forget that France has about 300 nuclear warheads, while the United Kingdom has none (except those lent by the United States, but which are of no use in a war against France, the latter country being ally of the United States).
Thus, not only from the modern aspect, but also from history, everything shows that the fight is absolutely not close to equality, but that France will defeat the united kingdom from afar ;)
Sounds like we got a Frenchman in the comments 💪🏾
@@DezzReacts True, Ignore the French, they are all mouth until i kicks off then the British will just finish it same as always 👍
True, but i but i tried to make a lot of points clear ;)
@@atmos9081 Sorry but the F-35 5th Gen is far better than the Rafale and so is the Typhoon. The French carrier is smaller and less capable and probably approaching end of life which will have deactivation costs and the new Challenger 3 MBT is now rolling of the production lines. That will be the most lethal tank in NATO.
We also have better trained and battle experienced troops. Sorry but that is the truth.
The 🇬🇧 has great subs
Your subs have grown alot, since you where a marine I think if you got a pic or just used a freinds address so you can try some British rations and candy and stuff, I think a DNA ancestory test would be fun to see as you have quite a pale complexion so you could have some British or Irish in your blood.
Do you own any civilian firearms or are you in a city or state where it's hard or did you have a stupid little bar fight and the ability to own a gun would cost alot in lawyers fees?
Before I got my green card and then passport for the US I would often carry a muzzle loading revolvers I was supposed to use black powder but I used BP substitute, I was very lucky as I found a double action 6 shot cap and ball revolver that accepted a stout powder load was a relativly big caliber for a small revolver and was decently concealable and in most states and city's it was not classed as a firearm.
I never used it but just getting it out or firing a warning shot got me out of trouble, it was not an origional just a cheap Italian remake.
I was told alot of ex cons carry one as it's the only thing they could carry and be not having the papers to own a firearm for my first nearly 3 months In the US it was pretty cool, took quite some time to reload and if you used real black powered over substitute it would be so dirt after firing you had to wash it all down with hot soap and water.
Also using wax to seal the Flinders so a spark would not days we chain fire..... In the end I would load it and clean it with lives in lol.
I’m not a marine, I’ve never served! I don’t legally own a gun but I have access to them, you can carry in all 50 states. Just can’t open carry in all
And I should do that! My mom is White and my dad is full black. The black in me is Jamaican
I'd worry more if Britain has lass planes. Throughout history the British have won when outnumbered. Don't forget the French first move would be to surrender, they're good at it.
You should look up our new carrier's, Queen Elizabeth Class.
👀 Y'all definitely have a history of getting Ws while out numbered!
It was the French Government that surrendered, not the people. Remember French soldiers have had an honourable history, as well as British Soldiers. You mention Big War, it's battles that win wars.
Imagine hating on another coutry because yours sucks
4 astutes now commissioned. hms anson now in service
Hahahaha wouldn't be close at all
France win ez
All French vehicles be it land sea or air have one forward gear and 6 reverse!!
Keyboard hero ?
thankfully this would never happen
Numbers mean nothing the brits beat the zulus and was outnumbered atleast 10-1 not too mention the napoleonic wars. Brits are the best trained and disiplined soldiers in the world
We've beaten the frogs all throuhout history. French troops are issued white flags, so I've heard.
Pov : you dont know history :
read a book of history please
@@didierpaya9069 I've read many.
Hundred war ? Jeanne d’arc go booo
The UK keeps fighting until it wins as it has done for over 2 centuries. The French give up when it gets too painful, as they have done for 150 years. So the UK wins eventually.
Absolute nonsense and I say that as a Brit, this is far too close to call and the UK is very vulnerable atm far too vulnerable
Read an history book.
@@shakya00 a history book will tell you that the Brits won and lost battles/ wars. I say that as a Brit
If the strongest Army in the world couldnt take the UK what chance have the french lol
I can tell a Frenchman suggested this video for you to react to because this channel always down plays the British military. We also have AWACS that would be used this close to the UK and our attack subs are far better.
We also have better trained troops, tanks and logistics. Long story short we would screw over the French like we always do and that is a fact. 👍
Better trained troops, logistic and tanks. Says who? France ranks higher on every military power index. You just sour but you should be happy since your last name is French and France is one of your closest ally.
@@brodocassel Talbot is a Norman name that means Viking not French which now means English. Also what power index are you talking about that ignores the fact that France has only the fourth largest Navy in Europe?. We also have far better amphibious assault capability and like I said better trained troops and tanks.
And yes we have far better logistics and that why you needed our help in Mali. The RAF also supplied heavy lift helicopters (Chinooks) to move your guys and equipment around clocking up over 3000 operational air hours not like France thanked us for it. So why did France not do it themselves?. They did not have that capability.
@@Michael.Talbot Norman French. Normandy France. French enough. Anyway. Fourth largest navy in Europe? You talking about size or power? Cause power wise France is close second to UK and first in EU. Dude do your research. Overall France has the second most powerful western military behind US. Not to mention that France maintains a robust military industrial complex as opposed to UK which relies heavily on American equipment (Chinook, F-35 etc..) while France is almost fully self reliant.
Buddy the war in Mali was a multi nation effort. UK, US and many EU countries participated. France happened to run the show. Just like US ran the show in Iraq with help from many other countries. Why didn’t they do it on their own?
France and UK should always work together cause when they do, they do great things like chunnels, supersonic passenger jets and war winning. God save the King and Vive la France!
@@brodocassel Yes in 2022 Normandy is in France but a thousand years ago it was its own separate country. We invaded France, lay siege to Paris and took the land now known as Normandy, in fact the word Norman means Viking the clue is in the name (Northman). Also sorry but yes France has the fourth largest navy in Europe
1. Russia
2. UK
3. Turkey
4. France
As for France having the second most powerful military behind the US I am not sure about that, we are about the same size but Britain has more operational experience, battle experience, training and logistics in fact everything Russia does not have in Ukraine. We are also one of the largest arms manufactures in the world, BAE Systems builds about 15% of every F-35 made and I think they are building the new rail guns for the USN. BTW the US was not in Mali.
I have no problem with the French or you but but i do have with the channel Dezz is reacting to Binkov's Battlegrounds, for some reason he does not like the Brits and has no clue what he is talking about. 2 years ago he made a video about what would happen if Russia invaded Ukraine and it was a train wreck to say the least knowing what we know now. He took that one down and put another one up which was not quite as funny so the guy is just a chancer. BTW God save the King and Vive la France! 👍
@@Michael.Talbot I know the history my man. If you go far enough everyone is a mix of many origins. That’s Europe.
From what I see in terms of tonnage, firepower and weapons system France’s navy is second but I don’t know if those lists include Turkey and Russia. That’s why I specified number one in EU. In terms of second most powerful western military I’m going by power index’s which has been ranking France ahead of UK last few years, of course this doesn’t include Russia. I take those with a grain of salt because I know UK is right up there and highly capable and stronger on paper doesn’t always translate to superiority on the field. Just ask Russia and US.
France and Uk are so close in many areas it’s actually funny to watch since they’re big rivals. Population, economy, military, history etc..
I know UK is a major arms producer but in that category France has been able to remain independent thanks to De Gaules policies like leaving NATO’s unified command. Of course it’s changing with Macron who wants more European cooperation but France remains in the top 5 arms producer and exporter.
I’ll be the first to admit that France cannot fight a war on its own today. We need allies. We have a very good military but it’s too small and cannot sustain a long term, medium to high intensity campaign on its own. Trust me US was helping in Mali with logistics and intelligence among others like UK, Germany. Speaking of Germany with the major investments they’re making they could eventually surpass us. We know what they’re capable of.
I don’t take these kind of videos too seriously and trust me if France had to fight a unidimensional war against UK I wouldn’t like our chances. Thankfully I believe that will never happen. We can fight on the small things but in the grand scheme of things we’re on the same side. Good to have you as best frienemy. 🇬🇧🤝 🇫🇷
The British win every time, numbers mean nothing to us, we've fought all throughout our history outnumbered by many and won 95% of the time
Remember Dunkirk.
Put simply the British don’t lose and the French do
The French 🤦♂️ they'd surrender before breakfast. Zeee Germans are two nil down too lol
Another little idiot that doesnt open a history book and his own eyes...
The French only know one thing to run
Like in Dunkirk right ?
@r-soft you went there 😂
They have left out the mental strength & character of our armed forces, which is much stronger than the French. If France was such a strong fighting force, why didn't they fight the Germans instead of capitulating to them?
Apparently they were trying to perserve their landmarks and monuments
@@DezzReacts Oh, I didn't think of that. Their monuments are so much more important than their citizens!
@@dominique4700 This island has been invaded many times, so it's you who should learn history. Each time, the countrymen tried to fight back. My family fought in both World Wars & we also lost family fighting in them. Despite my current grief, I am not going to insult you back. So just go away.
@@dominique4700 Thank you for your understanding. I have French family living in France. The French today are not being compared to the French of 1939. Then, the bureaucrats simply caved in & didn't try fighting for their country. I know some French fought for their country & the French Resistance were magnificent. They really helped with the war effort.
If you have such a good mental, why didn't you win immediately against the Germans, and were slaped like everybody else ?
Why did you give up the counter attack proposed by the French and Belgians, and run away like cowards to Dunkirk while being protected by French soldiers who gave their lives to make you run away?
Why did you launch an anti-French propaganda campaign to boost the morale of your troops after the "triumphant" return from Dunkirk, because morale was about to collapse?
Why did you surrender to Singapoor if you have a so good mental ?
You guys are scum, you just have hollywood as your modern propaganda to always self-suck yourself, with the Americans,
and rewrite history to your advantage, always taking the opportunity to shit on the history of my country on the internet, constantly nowadays since decades.
I almost wish there was a ww3 and we would nuke you all.
Why have enemies when you have allies like you.
In a war between UK & France, the french have a major disadvantage ... They're french!! 😆🇬🇧🇺🇸
LOL ahah wake up to reality boomer
@@deltaspaces7089 LOL.. Get a sense of humour dippy
The French can't fight though.
And you can't learn history outside of American propaganda and Hollywood movies.
number 1 the french will surrender as they always do....plus we have better trained pilots ,navy and soldiers do not under estimate this tiny island people we love to fight here
The French Have not won anything since 1814 . English (uk) not lost since 1776. Do the math. !!!!
French have not won anything since 1814? Wtf are you talking about, you need to open a history book.
Erm…the English would win …. The French would surrender 😜
