Subject: Modern light and medium forces against 2nd and 3rd world armoured forces
BRoger    1/30/2006 10:49:24 AM
What capabilities and firepower do modern light and medium forces have as compared to 2nd and 3rd world armoured forces. For instance if the UK's 16th Air Assault Brigade or 3rd Commando Brigade (or any other 1st world countries' equivalent brigades) engaged the following (in seperate conflicts, not at the same time) in a terrain neutral environment (i.e. same level of advantages and disadvantages for both sides)what would the outcome be? 1) vs Iranian armoured brigade 2) vs Pakistani armoured brigade 3) vs Brazilian armoured brigade 4) vs Russian armoured brigade 5) vs Syrian armoured brigade

>>Perhaps the more realistic question would be, could the UK successfully invade Syria or whoever, rather than gladatorial style one-on-one formation combat...<< I think that my local police department could invade Syria. They would probably have more weapons than the Syrians (if you include privately-owned weapons), they have more airpower (they have a few helo's with big lights on them and they could drop some weights out of them as 'bombs'), they have equal or better training (and if the Syrians ever retreat, they could probably chase them down and tackle them or go 'bad cop' and shoot them in the back), they have some transportation (which are especially suited for carrying POW's) and they have some SOF capabilities (minus all of the muscles and high-speed training). I don't Syria would present much of a problem for the UK, although Iran is a totally different story.
