So do British, not the Kurds part but you never know with the SAS for example, they train with a lot other soldiers around the world, as for other places, short example; arctic, deserts, mountains, (with the Gurkhas whom of which are a part of the British Army) urban, you name it, where ever is the toughest training they can get, they go there...24/7...All year round. But of course, just because you train for, say for example; 32 weeks, doesn't mean your training ends there, your whole career is one long training programme, the SAS for example train for a little over 2 years during selection, that doesn't stop there when you finish, retired members that have served with SAS have joined from the likes of the Royal Marines, done full training with them then stayed with them for at least 3 years (got to be with any branch of the British Armed Forces for at least 3 years, passed training 100% and done at least a few tours before you are even considered for SAS training) have stated that training for the SAS is extremely tough...Staying in the regiment is even tougher. So add all that time up of say, a RM training then going into SAS for training, thats a hell of a long time.
Iraqi armour which wasn't up to standards to the likes of British & American tanks.
That is correct.US was working very hard to shove it up Pakistan's Army throat but thankfully we did not purchase them. (It would have caused severe problems to Strike Corps due to sanctions in 90's)
