SA 80 should have been tossed the day it entered service I think the brits should have addopted the G36 or like the SAS ( acourding too scuttlebutt) addopt the HK416. there armour seems good, helmet is a bit bulky uniforms are functional and they are one of the first nations too addopt a combat shirt for hot weather. have not heard too many complants on boots and there armored vehicles are some of the best even have options I think we here in the US should be looking at adopting. there light on bombers but heavy on fighter bombers I think that once the typhoons fill there RAF forces they should convert there tornados too full time attackers. need some more transports and tankers, helicopter forces seem ready too go. although there navy a traditional british pride is welting these days hopefuly the QE class ships will make them really build that up.
