Taliban attack Indian camp in Afghanistan, no casualties - South Asia - World - The Times of India

definitely not a first, although it maybe against Kandahar airfield. Also see here for what sort of things the military commanders have to balance all the time

Vec,

Nobody takes your word seriously. Just wind your neck in and go and help out on Hover 1 or NAV 1 in LFA 9.

British troops don't need a break ...... Just go and have the same chat with The Rifles.... You ll be well received.

There you go... Wokawoka from Odiham....Now there's the sort of chap who wants to put his feet up and put those slippers on.

Take a rest shipmate.... but be careful you don't put yourself out of business.

I don't often post, but you've got my goat. While I seldom get annoyed by your comments I find your input to this thread ignorant and crass. Have a word with yourself fella.

Stupid

(b) Tiffie has to last. And last. And last some more. I heard a rumour that the Tranche 1s OSD was something that felt weirdly soon, like all Tranche 1s gone by 2020 (this is a rumour network - can anyone comment?).
The last word from Bob was OSD 2029 for Typhoon (Presumably Tranche 1s?)

I'm with Liam Fox, Afghanistan isn't going anywhere. We're not going to achieve anything by staying there. Lets just have a word with the Taliban, tell them we don't care how they run their 13th century country just so long as they don't let anyone use it as a base to attack us. If they do, we'll bomb the heck out of them.
We've got the experience there - enough to let us come home, digest it and get our forces properly sorted out for the future. Afghanistan does absolutely nothing for us now. The terrorists have long since moved to a decentralised, franchise base out of other countries - and it isn't operating too well.
