He diligently practiced the deadly move to defeat the Russian army.
The media reported that the British Army is training for combat, aiming to defeat a powerful opponent like Russia.
Britain is conducting military exercises in the Middle Eastern country of Oman in preparation for war with countries with “stronger armed forces”, mainly Russia, the Times reported on October 9.
It is known that, for the first time in this exercise, the British army will test drones in the largest-scale military exercises in the past 17 years, mobilizing a large number of soldiers and heavy combat vehicles.
The media quoted Brigadier General Zack Stenning, commander of the infantry force in the exercise, as saying that a total of 5,500 soldiers were mobilized to participate in the exercise, along with 200 armored vehicles, six warships, one landing ship and eight Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets.
In addition, the British army will conduct tests of a 30-ton, remotely controlled armored tractor designed to clear mined objects in a given area.
"We're training to deal with better armed, better trained soldiers and the troops that are the most serious challenge to us," Brigadier General Zack Stenning told the media.
The Times added that the role of the hypothetical enemy "after studying Russian tactics" would be played by the British Army's Royal Guards regiment; the Royal Guards' light armored fighting vehicles would be mobilized to play the role of the massive Russian T-72 tanks.
In recent years, Moscow has claimed that NATO countries are very active near Russia's borders. The Kremlin is concerned that cooperation between NATO and the EU is often carried out under the pretext of a virtual threat from Russia.
NATO knows that Moscow has no plans to attack anyone, but it still uses this excuse to move closer to Russia's borders; strengthen heavy weapons, mobilize more troops, expand initiatives and call its steps "to deter Russian aggression".
Even British, German and NATO soldiers have made no secret of their number one enemy, Russia, by openly recruiting Russian-speaking people to play the role of Russian civilians and soldiers, and borrowing Soviet tanks to pretend to be Russian tanks, in a series of military exercises in recent years.

| Britain and NATO are ramping up military training to defeat the “Russian invaders”. |
In April 2017, the US Army publicly advertised for Russian-speaking people to play the role of civilians in “combat zones” during the US-NATO exercise held at the Hoenefels training ground, near the German city of Nuremberg, to “add realism.”
These “extras” will play the role of “residents in the Russian-speaking region” to create a realistic exercise scenario for NATO soldiers, aiming to achieve the best and most realistic training quality.
More humorously, in early December 2016, the British army was severely criticized by Russia for using T-72 tanks taken from museums and wearing uniforms similar to those of the Russian armed forces in a military exercise with the idea of defeating a Russian invasion.
According to the scenario, “the terrible moment the world has long feared” is when Russian troops and tanks cross the border and flood into the Baltic country of Estonia. Within hours, the conflict escalates so rapidly that, if left unchecked, it could lead to a nuclear conflict that could threaten millions of lives.
According to the British newspaper Mail, this is the worst scenario simulated by the British army for more than two decades after the Cold War, a time when they always had to be ready to deal with the powerful Soviet Army, behind which was the entire military bloc of Socialist countries (Warsaw Bloc).
Therefore, the UK, the US and NATO countries are obliged under Article 5 of the Treaty to defend a member country. And the British Army played the hero role by repelling the attacks of the Russian army on the territory of this NATO ally country.
However, the newspaper quoted a military source as saying that, due to the reduction in military budget and funding for exercises and training, the British Army used the services of an outside company, hired to participate in the exercise as an imaginary enemy.
The main enemy equipment used were Polish-made T-72 tanks and Soviet-made armored vehicles, which were loaned to the British Army by private collectors and the British Tank Museum, the Mail reported.
