On the Road with NATO in Poland | ACCESS
Our Producer Joe follows the British Army's Light Dragoons and the King's Royal Hussars as they test their ability to deploy troops and armoured vehicles to Poland where they link up with Polish and other NATO allies in a full on combined arms military exercise.
We cover 2500km, witnessing all the moving parts of a mass mobilisation as well as speaking to the people that make them move.
Ever wondered how an exercise like this takes place? This is your fly on the wall experience of a NATO exercise, at the height of tensions with Russia.

My father in law was shot down as the pilot of a B24 and the Polish partisans got him out, at GREAT risk to themselves. He loved the Poles from that day on and would help any Polish person he knew that needed it. They are a proud and brave people, as are Ukrainians, obviously.

Thanks from Poland. Well, when you live somewhere for dozens of generations, your culture evolves to suit the conditions, and the conditions here are... well, let's say we've had a major war every two or three generations at best since the 1600s, and now it's been three generations without a major war... so it's due time, I guess.

@@user-sm5sj6mg2t It's a damn shame is what it is. But if it happens this time you are NOT alone in it. The old NATO, we got your back and you got ours is a good thing when there are prowling wolves around. Russia is no match for US/NATO, not EVEN CLOSE. :-) If they come at any of the NATO countries they will very quickly find out how far below that weight class they really are. Lately, the Russians are just pissing me off, frankly. It's about time they had a good smack down. Just as the US or European NATO countries cannot invade Russia, so they cannot invade us (I am American, BTW). As Denys Davidov always says, Cheers, my friend.

I love his droll sense of humor, and a lot of varied topics. If you want more, just ask. Stay safe!

Without seeming to be the slightest bit romantic, it is significant when British troops integrate with the Poles for their defence. In the Battle of Britain, the Polish airmen who flew alongside our own were essential for victory. There is a 70-odd year old historical inter-dependent brotherhood among our nations. May God bless our own troops and the Polish troops in what they might be called to do. I sincerely hope that the UK is already upping its production of Challenger 2 and all other components for our military capability. If not, we will run out!

The British army’s quality is superb. There’s just not enough of it. Traditionally, as an island nation, we have relied on sea power (and then AirPower) as our main defence assets. However, whenever something kicks off on the continent it does require us to have a bigger army. 70k personnel and the inability to field a single armoured division is just not enough. Of course, a bigger army means a bigger slice of the budget and armies are personnel heavy which is the biggest bit of your overheads (as in all business) the navy and the RAF are equipment expenditure heavy but less so for ongoing personnel costs.
I enjoy every minute of it!! Keep it up, guys!!

Great for 8 man sabre squadrons like SAS squads using Supacat HMT 400 vehicles or the US equivalent with SEAL squads. The NLAW's are a squad level system that are cheap, quick to use, light and good for shorter ranges e.g. ambushes with light infantry. In the event of a war, you'd probably find the US and others would use the same setup

The story of the squadron 303 is a good example how Brits treated Poles who saved British asses from German bombs and in return, after 1945 Brits asked Poles to leave England and pay for the planes that Poles used in the Battle of Britain. What Brits are doing now, it is reduce the power of Germans and French on the continent by using other countries such as Poland and Ukraine.

I am not sure if your aware but the Polish pilots were without doubt the most aggressive during the battle of Britain. They had suffered during the defence of Poland in inferior planes....flying with Spitfires and Hurricanes they were hungry for payback. This is illustrated when their airfield was fogged in and you couldn't see more than a few metres. The fighters were therefore ordered to remain grounded.....The engines of German bombers were heard passing overhead. Two Polish Pilots knew they could get the fighters up, so they defied orders, took off in next to zero visibility, got above the fog, chased and shot down the Luftwaffe bombers and then landed at a different airfield until the fog at their own cleared. I have no doubt they got a thorough bollocking from the RAF for disobeying orders followed by a quiet smile and well done from their Commanding Officer. The contribution of the Polish Pilots in the Battle of Britain will never be forgotten, I have frequented the same pub where many of your pilots lodged on many occasions which to this day has a model Spitfire on a pole in its Gardens.

You are infantry aren't you? With antitank weapons, right? " because we can't really dismount from this platform" Translation: It's a bloody death-trap. "We're putting out a frontage so that all of the armour that we're working with can operate behind us and that gives them a huge amount of flexibility and freedom" Translation: We are the meat shield for the valuable stuff. "We will punch out before the main body and have a devastating impact on the enemy before the main armament is brought to bear" He says this in front of a high, slow, under-armed vehicle designed to withstand impact from below while driving on roads/tracks. Well, I'm sure there will be a devastating impact the moment they show up in those things. The Russians will die laughing. "This gives us a capability that they simply do not have" Nonsense, inn these vehicles you are just as road-bound as the Russians. Certainly a well-supported dispersed infantry/recce screen with strong anti-tank capability in advance of the armour is the required tactic. And, of course, the drone spotting/recce screen that these days is absolutely necessary.

Broadcast for British Soldiers? The one I remember listening to as a kid and which probably helped me developing some English skills? Didn´t think I´ll see these 4 letters again ;) Greetings from Germany.
when is part 2 of this actual episode ??
How long ago was this filmed? I worked at DPTA for over a year and only saw American units.
"It's got a roof, and a windscreen, so it's instantly better than a jackal." Also armour protection for the crew, a main weapon that can do some actual damage. It's almost as if they expect to fight against a modern "neer peer" adversary in, oh, that's right, Europe. Plus, big clue here, there's a lot of grass and trees. Even if the MOD is too incompetent to issue green paint, bloody scrounge some from anywhere instead of driving around as a great big yellow target. It's embarrassing.

Agreed mate and the Jackle is a death vehicle, it was more practical in Afghan as we were fighting rebels. But fighting an army in one is rediculous.

Majority of US vehicles are painted in desert camo and often deploy to Europe as such. Plus slapping on a quick paint job won’t be difficult. If the crew wanted to they could do it in a day.

Damn that city is gorgeous,I gotta venture more
Kaliningrad? Did you mean Královec?!
Well done
Light dragoon will certainly be useful during the winter in Poland ;)
All the training, drills, and years of cooperation between NATO countries creates a fighting force that is world class.
What kind of camera is that fellow using- the one that sticks out from his chest on some kind of counterweighted mount? I'm guessing it's some kind of HD camera with image stabilisation? Wish I was there myself, 30 years younger, recording events.

Our main cameras for this kind of shoot, when our team are out and about with the Military and need to remain mobile, are Canon C70, on a shoulder rig and a Canon R5 on a Ronin RS2 Gimbal. This project was filmed over a couple of weeks and includes GoPro footage, drone footage, shot by the team and by Ben from the MOD and some Sony A7Siii footage, again from the team at MOD and a very talented filmmaker called Johnny. More to come from Johnny in the next instalment. Joe who presents this episode also films, conducts the interviews, writes the script, edits the final video, mixes the music and sweeps up the office when he leaves.
I served on an LST for almost four years. I can remember that smell now.

British Army has very decent rain gear so no need for roofs on their vehicles :).
Very very good.
They have some wild equipme t
2:46 it looks so beautiful..... Never seen in America
Well made!
How come some of the British vehicles still have desert paint? Is military vehicle paint prohibitively pricey?
