Securing Kabul: Meet The British Soldiers In One Of The World's Deadliest Cities | Forces TV 

Thank you for producing this documentary. As a Canadian (former member of 2nd Bn Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) who spent 6 months in Afghanistan with British Forces (based mostly on Royal Scots Dragoon Guards), I'm happy to see that the coalition is still there and still helping our Afghan allies confront this foe. I'd go back to Kabul in a heart beat.

6:09 That officer responded exactly how most higher ranked officers do when speaking to the media. I guarantee if he was speaking off the record, he would have given a much more sobering response on the chances of victory. Unfortunately, if you want any chance of getting promotion, you have to lie through your teeth.

Salute to all the for forces stationed there and especially the afghan forces ....may your country be at peace again as soon as possible ....From a concerned human,INDIA

I've been to that exact compound. Spent a good 9 months in that city. 3 months spent in that compound alone.

Danke für euren Einsatz und Dienst. Meine Familie hat den größten Respekt vor euch und danken euch für eine bessere Welt und Zukunft

People forget how important a military is, just the presence of a military can ward off enemies from invading

The foxhounds look so badass

brings back alot of memories seeing that base again . Was stationed there myself back in 2018, for six months with the danish forces.

Extremely brave soldiers! Loads of respect 🇬🇧

3:18 Turkish industries be like: how many flags do u want on your vehicles ? Turkish Army: YES.

Real look at life on the front line. Brave lads.

Respect to the Afghan Soldiers who make the effort and put there lives on line.... For the Good!!!! Clap, Clap :)

Nice to see a little bit of the danes in this video, still serving side by side with the british since Helmand 06

I was 1 of a 28 man team sent to Kabul in Dec 2001...USAF was conducting airbase BDA and recovery operation to make the Kabul airport usable to bring in more equipment and personnel. At that time there were no other military forces other then the 28 of us from the Air Force and a mixed security force from Afghanistan and Pakistan less then 100 all with small arms only at this location. We didn't see British or French troops until we were three plus months into our deployment in month four I believe troops from Norway had also arrived. I did like working with the troops from those countries and we were glad to see them arrive.

Best wishes from Turkey 🇹🇷 Respect all nations who take part to support Afganistan.

Looking back from today, it was all for nothing, sadly that we have wasted our lives for something that has not even brought them stability or safety...

Nice one lads.. Stay safe!

Proud of Yorkshire boys as I’m in Yorkshire alot

Anybody else really intrigued by military vehicles and weapons?

Those vehicles are freeking awesome, with both front and rear steering. The v shape of the hull is not an original thing as this is the same concept of the side of a tank. It simply reflects the blast.

He totally totally dodged that first question entirely

Brigadier Humphrey lol he was in charge of Miln troop during training top bloke God speed and hope you made it home safe

Nice one lads, 👍

Glad to see these people fighting to get their damn country back themselfs. Keep up the good work... so close now...

As an afghan I appreciate all the efforts by Australia to help the afghan people. I saw a video in the past that an Aussie soldier shot a boy but there was no context and it made the soldier look like a cold blooded killer. The efforts here show a different side.

I was there when they filmed this m8. Been there a few times kabul is really loud sometimes.

Well done and good luck! 👍

Why is it that the media are so negative all the time asking negative questions and trying to get a negative response, if they’re doing well then they’re doing well

3 58 turkey kobra 😍

world bravest army..British i love London... lota of love from Bangladesh... ancient British India....

May God please make this country peace

It’s amazing what’s happening over there, especially with the school. But i don’t agree that the female cadets should get double pay. It should be completely equal for everyone. The fact that they are female should not be a consideration.

I love the scent-tree hanging inside the cab at 7:14 haha, so British.

This didnt age well.

ধন্যবাদ... thanks

the lance corporal is definitely more switched on than the Lt. scary eh.

Awesome job guys. Making the world a better and safer place. God bless. P.s those foxhounds are sic

Those casualty numbers are *FAR* too high. It takes a lot of courage to fight their honourable war. I wish them the best InshAllah and God Speed.

does anyone know the decoy flares do? Are they meant to look like they they are strapped with missiles even though they are only flares?? Any solders know what they ate suppose to do in this scenario????

Good Show Forces TV.

Its interesting to see how far the Afghan Army has come, I'm even more interested to see how they fare once we leave Afghan. I wish them the best of luck this insurgency has taken too long and too many good men and women

They should requite Pasthun for Afghan Police or Army. They been proofed as best fighter from centuries back.

It is interesting to see that the driver seat of a British armored vehicle is still on the righthand side, even though traffic drives on the right in Kabul.

Thank you Turk for ur presence and service

Skip to 6:09 and activate the BS meter for some off the charts readings.

Respect for 🇬🇧 United Kingdom God bless the Britain military forces i love 😍 London City 🇬🇧

Good job.

This video gives me hope that Afghanistan 🇦🇫 be better place, I salute to British and Afghan and NATO Thanks for good work.

11:20 lol gender pay gap much

2:22 it was when the Norwegian Marinejegerkommandoen/Norwegian Naval Special Operation Force went in to the hotel and saved people from the terrorists

Stay safe out there x

"Is this a winnable war?" Now that is one hell of a question. One I don't think the officer answered sincerely.

Afghanistan I love we're with you come back stronger ❤

Respect and salute to Afgan brave soldiers. I think you will definitely get success. Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳.

whats the THALES computer thing in the foxhound

Hey can somebody help me understand? 4min 21sec, does anybody know what he is referring to? "my dad has been out during the ...?

WOW those afghans are taking heavy losses

Another puff piece where they interview career officers telling them exactly what the higher ups want. Feel for my british companions stuck in the Afghan rut. I'm an American who was there at the beginning in the early 2000's. They wouldnt' fight the war right then, and they won't now. Sad thing is both us and our British friends actually have the power to end it, just our societies can't stomach it. I pray for you guys on the ground regardless.

I love the uniform

Respect to the brave afghan and other forces

09:02 the Afghan Police Comander says " The Camera will do its Job What ever Happen you just keep traaining" 😂😂😂

I love how they have managed to blur out the face of the MI6/SAS operative. I will check the video again for more reflection than the side mirror had to offer

" you may have watches but we have the time"

All due respect to everyone in this video but: This didn’t age very well 😐

' honor and salute to britishs militarys services

Keep them safe!

They should win hearts and minds. Give people food, healthcare and modern technology

im framed by the mountains of the hindu kush too if you knaw what im sayin ;)

I’ve worked along side the Brits. Was a E6 in the US Army, 3 combat tours “Infantry” twice to Afghan once to Iraq. Good times!! Get some guy 😎😎😎

Love from Austria!!what vehicle ist that ?

Crazy 19yrs later

yes we are impressed how afghan army gave up so easily to the talibans

Love and respect to British soldiers from Afghanistan

I see they are already phasing out that old Mk.6 helmet in favor of Mk.7

Respect ✊

God bless all the Brits there. They are great!!!!!

"R.E.M.E. Engineers" royal electrical mechanical engineers engineers 😂

Why does just that one uniformed soldier have his face misted over at 3.20? I don't want to know who he is but whats different about him all the others show their faces?

Awesome it's about time they get the proper training to fight for their own country.

Training the guys will fight against in couple of years ^^

It would be worth it if they'd started strip mining the Hindu Kush for all those sweet rare earths but they just wanted the Opium, GO FIGURE.

Tragic to watch this now knowing how pointless this huge effort was as these soldiers all but gave up and put up little to no fight

Why are the Afghan soldiers marching like the Lolli Pop Guild?

Are they using a new version of the SA80 L85? An L85A3???

So how 'secure' is Kabul today?? 😂😂

I think Brigadier Humphrey was blowing smoke up people’s a** when he described how capable the ASF was.

Nice little PR video

Some go Kabul some go kaboom My dark sense of humour worries me Respect to British soldiers having to act very professional wile eliminating threats a hard thing to do

Hazara ❤️🇦🇫

What an embarrassing moment when the reporter asked Brig. Humphrey about the effectiveness of his force in Afghanistan...

Losing 7000 thousands troops a year in a conflict is child's play I've heard of bigger losses in one tiny little battle

Even in the british base in Afghanistan rains :D lol

3:33 Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi

Looks like they are making a lot of progress. Last time I've seen such a documentary Afghan soldiers were barely capable of shooting an AK the correct way, now they have M4s. In a weird way they were also firing LMGs from their hip with little to no precision.

Terrifying place

Puma flying with the British , best experience ever 👍🤘.

Sadly watching this now, I doubt any of the facilities or afghan people are doing the roles shown here any longer

nice

Thank you guys

Well…That didn’t age well.
