      Well, they won in the IFV category, using a Bradley.

      Which is pretty impressive, as Ireland doesn’t *have* any Bradleys and they only had a few weeks to train on a borrowed one.

      They should have let us keep the Bradley as a victory trophy. Also I should be called an IFV rather than a tank.

      The Irish were too powerful, that’s why god nerfed us by not giving us any tanks 💪

      This should have been a Game of Thrones jousting style setup where the loser must forfeit their tanks and weaponry to the victor and ransom them back

      Quite misleading title. Ireland beat Infantry Fighting Vehicle competition. Tanks competition was a separate category.

      And rookies? They were new to Bradley, as Irish army uses Piranha instead. But that doesn’t make rookies from professional soldiers.

      Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on down, it’s tanking time! Cool tanking!

      It wasn’t the tank competition but the AFV (armoured fighting vehicle) competition. They were all using the US AFV – the Bradley. The Irish team borrowed a Bradley for three weeks as Ireland doesn’t have any. It is a very impressive achievement. A Irish team has previously twice won the US sniper competition. They are highly respected.

      I mean for all their money the US wasn’t won a war since WW2(though Iran looks mostly in their favor, even if it isn’t the cake wake they like to pretend it is)

      I got called up by the irish army last week

      They were looking for a tank! 💪

      *I’ll show myself out*

      Don’t our snipers always win in competitions too. For a neutral country it’s mad how great we are when it comes to strategy and wargames

      If that’s what they could do with two weeks with a new toy imagine waht they could do with proper investment and modern weapons.

      Didn’t our snipers win a competition a couple years back too. I tell ye if we invested a few quid we’d have that straight opened by lunch time tomorrow

      “All the gear and no idea” is generally how anyone in British army talks about working with the Americans

    23. BlueBKM on

      Well done to our lads!

      … But holy fucking hell, how fucking stupid are the Americans?!

    24. ForbiddenToblerone on

      With no tanks and their guns and their guns and no tanks…

    25. Professional_Elk_489 on

      How do you win against trained professionals with zero experience with the tank?

      Explain like I’m dumb

    29. mushy_cactus on

      We beast in the sniper competitions too.

      Sad tanks are redundant now tho.
